1t WIS generally known that our
great state was prosper&ng along I'll
lines and more especially that Of
manufacturing and that wonderful ed-
vancement had been made since ths
census of 1860, but the general sgti-
mate and anticipations Of the most
sanguine were not up to tie report re-
Gently issued by the census bureau
at Washington which gave the IN
crease to 1904, period of four Years.
This report showed that the capital
invested was at that time, 1904, $780,.
250,0G0, or an increase of 121 per cent.
The value of products increased to $54,-
100000 or ali increase Of 70 per cent.
With the progress since 1904, which
has been even greater, it is likely
that by the end of 1906 Mississippi
manufacturing industries will repre-
sent an investment of fully 100000
900. These figures should be especial
iy gratifying to good citizens in gen.
eral. The progress being made by
our state along all lines is phenomenal
and mo state in the South has in the
past few years made more progress in
Idustrially than ours. Let us hope
that it will continue thus.

The Marks commercial club and the
business men of Batesville contem-
plate placing a line of email steamers
on Tallahatchie river for carrying
freight to points along the upper
river. 1t is hoped that by a con-
sumation of the scheme freight rates
could be materially lowered and a
number of inland points supplied as
well. A difficulty generally encoun-
tered in such an undertaking is, the
boats are made too large and are able
to run only when the river is high.
1t would be better to make them not
over forty feet long and twelve feet
wide with fiat bottoms. An ordinary
gasoline engine would propel such 4
boat as this and it could run with a
full load in almost any stage Of water.

not bad one and other towns might
investigate it with profit. Rates and

Ii is claimed that the real motive
for the recent uprising in Cuba is to
practically force the United States to
annex the island. In fact, many large

would strongly favor such a course

man to pursue who is afflicted with a
