The Hill City is in gala attire, every

written in large letters everywhere.
Forty-two years ago battle and car

the hill-sides and Grants gun-boats

The increase for the six years, from
1894 to 1900, about the first year IN
which a substantial increase was
shown, amounted to $3S, half
of the amount, $1S,31S,047, being from
the personally assessment.
The same items in 1903 showed a to-
tai assessed valuation of 1921, 447 ,450:
or an increase from 1894 Of $780,
4S1.
Tn 1904 the assessment Of personal
property showed an increase over that
of 1903, of ST., 800, being the larg-
est in the history Of the State. The
real property, land ETC., under the law
is only made once every four years.
Had it been assessed for 1903, | be-
lieve there would have been a rela-
tive increase. Tn personal rolls for
this year have not been received, but
it is certain they will show large in
crease over the former year.
From 1900 to the present the Audit
or had granted exemptions to 80 man.
ufacsuring concerns, ranging from
hosiery mills to cotton factories. These
figures do not include the thousand
and one industries started and not ask
ing for or being entitled to exemp-
tons.
AS shown by the statistical abstract
of the United States, pages Alb and
Ala, Mississippi had fewer business
failures in 1903 than any state in the
Southern group, except West Virginia
which is tantamount to saying our rec
ord in that respect equals that of any
section. For that year the liabilities
of failed concerns in Mississippi
amounted to $560,533, West Virginia
being lowest with $381, $40.
It is in the banking industry, how
ever, where Mississippi is supreme, the
increase in that line being so marvel
Gus as to attract the attention Of the
whole country.
Taking 1883 @ a starting point, be-
ing the first year banks were required
to report to the Auditor, the increase
has been gradual for all the interven-
ing years, and in the last few years
it has been wonderful.
In 1888 Mississippi had 80 State
and II National Banks. The State
hawks showed thn fallOWinp.

which the German peasant who raised
the sugar was unable to use it, because
the price was SO high in Germany

The address Of State Auditor I. H.

a view Of making investments in Mis-

they had seen of the State.
The following extracts are made
from Mr.. Eenry's address:
"And now with your kind permis-
