Across the dreamy stiffness of the

the perfunctory cracking of the driv-

All roads in Cuba lead to the plaza,
or public square, and a town without
it's plaza would be like an egg without
salt, or beauty minus a mirror.
But, then, no town is without its
plaza and most of them can boast
of a series. Each of the larger town
has its municipal band, and upon at
least one evening of each week it
plays in the principal plaza. Then the
plaza is a gala sight, worth going
many q mile to witness.
1t is then that the houses, SO jeal-
ously closed by day, open wide their
doors and from them step sonora and
the senoritas, her daughters, all bend

wealthy classes and own a carriage, or

softly and the royal palms toss their
scornful heads in the cool breeze of

The picture is a pretty one, whether
one sees it from the slow and stately
procession of open carriages moving
about the outside of the square, or
joins the throng sitting on the numer-

that is the isolation of the sexes. One

there are no absorbed young couples

Railroad Assessments.

The railroad commission has an
nOunced the assessment of privilege ttx
es assessed on the railroads of the
state, by counties, showing the amount
of privilege taxes to be paid by the
railroads in each county Of the state.
Only two counties of the state have
ne railroad touching them or entering
their boundaries, and therefore will
collect no railroad taxes. These two
counties are Itawamba, in the north
eastern corner of the state, and Leake
in the very center or heart of the
state. Lines are projected through
these two counties, and next year will
most probably enjoy some of the per-
quisites from railroad mileage.
The total amount of privilege taxes
TO be collected from all the railroads
Of the state this year is $67, ,640.20.
TINS tax is separate and distinct from
the ad valorem tax paid by the rail
roads on their property valuation.
The privilege tax is on the privilege
Of operating a railroad, and is as
sessed according to the classification
of the railroads.
The railroads of the state are di-
vided into three classeS-frst, second
and third. The first class pays $40
per mile, the second $15 per mile and
the third $40 per mile. There is also
privilege tax of So per mile on mar
row guaee railroads.

PREPARING FOR PRESIDENT
Battleship Louisiana Sent to New
York to be Fitted Up for the Trip
to Panama With President and
Wife.

The battleship Louisiana, which is
soon to carry President and Mrs.
Roosevelt to Panama and Porto Rico,
has gone to the New York Navy ard
to be docked for over-hauling before
making her trip. When the President
goes aboard he will find a magnif-
cent suite of rooms arranged with
great care for the comfort Of himself
and Mrs. Roosevelt.
The Louisiana had her final tests
less than two months ago, and is a
splendid man-of-war, in frst-class
condition. Notwithstanding that she
IS practically new and has seen little
sea service, aside from the round
trip to Cuba, when she brought Sec
retary Taft home, great pains will be
taken to eliminate every spot that may
appear in the painting.
1t will be necessary to enlarge the
quarters and put in new ones, as was
the case with the cruiser Charleston
for Secretary Roots trip. The Lou
Lsiana is much larger, of course, and
has more commodious cabin rooms
The vessel it fitted out SIS a flagship
consequently she is provided with cab
Ins for the Admiral, Flag Officer and
others. Two or three of the most
spacious cabins will be fixed up es-
pecially for the President and hi:
wife, while another will be at the dis
posal of Surgeon General Rixey, OF
the Navy, the only person aside from
:he ships officers and crew who will
make the trip.
While it is said to be the Presi
dents wish that no particular ex-
pense be incurred in arranging the
cabins for his comfort, no pains vii
be spared in refreshing the decora
live work and otherwise making then
bonelike for the two weeks or more
that the Chief Executive and his wife
vill occupy them.

Want Higher Fee.

The Perry County Medical Society,

insurance companies in the matter of
fees for making medical examinations
on applications for policies. At the
monthly session Of the board, DR.. R.
B. Stapleton, the president, in the
chair, resolution was adopted to the
effect that hereafter no physical ex-
aminations shall be made for less
than S., the fee allowed by the compa-
MES in many cases heretofore being
So. 1t was also voted that local agents
Of the insurance companies should
not be permitted to make up the diff
ference; the effect Of which is that the
doctors Of this county will not make
any more examinations until the or
der shall shall be given from the
headquarters Of the company for the
increased fee. The resolution applies
only 10 the old line insurance compa-
nies, fraternal insurance operating
under different arrangement. There
have been several calls for doctors to
make examinations since this order
was passed, but they are standing on
