HALF OF INCOME
 GOES TO SCHOOLS
AUDITOR SHOWS MISSISSIPPI IS RUNNING BEHIND EVERY YEAR AND MOST OF THE MONEY GOES TO EDUCATION.

Jackson Miss, January 2-(Special)- In order to show the members of the legislature the real condition of the states finances, Auditor T. M. Henry has compiled a statement, to be printed in booklet form, giving the receipts and disbursements by months. for the past two years, and will lay same on the desks of the members of the legislature This statement shows that during the two year period from January l. 1904 to Jan uary 1, 1906, the disbursements of the treasury of the state of Mississippi have been S557es6.S2 over and above the re- ceipts, and that the state Is running be- hind every year.
 It is not shown in this statement, but it is a fact, that one-half the receipts at the state treasury of Mississippi, go out of said treasury in the shape of war rants and cash for the teachers of the s4ate's public schools. The sum expended by the state on account of the common schools is now $l, ,25OOOO per year. so that during the two years just ended the sum of E, ,500O00 has been expended in that direction. That does not take into ac- count the half million more that goes to the state colleges for higher educa- tion. This means that more than one half the money received at the treasury of the state of Mississippi on account of taxation, goes to the education of the children of the state If there is another state in the union that can make such a showing 1t should speak up at once or forever holds it's peace.

SIMPLE PREVENTIVE OF TYPHOID.
Method Recommended by High Author
 ity for Preventing Fever.

Now that it is pretty well established In medical circles that the germ of ty- phoid enters the system through the Aeuth, and almost invariably by means ef some liquid, the study and research of scientists has lately been directed to dis ecve1yin= some means for preventing the germ from lodgment.
 'Where the body is in a healthy condi- tieni' says one authority. where the stomach and alimentary canal throughout is kert clear and clean, the chances of typhoid are greatly reduced. The import art thing To do is to keep the channels eff the body clean and clear of waste by suears of some healthful, natural aperient or laxative water, as it is called such as the French Lick or Pluto Water, which ] have found in my practice to be better than any other for this purpose"
 Keep the body clean inside as well as outside, is the simple suggestion of the scientist above quoted and the dread germ of Typhoid cannot find where to lodge and begin mischief. That is preventing G.sease and Ian ounce of prevention is worth many hundred-weight of cure.'
 It's easy to follow the suggestion and ths scientist makes plain the way-drink Pluto Water. This may be done at home, Tor Pluto can be had everywhere, and at ths springs at French Lick. Ind, de- lightful place to rest and recrperate the spacious French Lick Springs hotel, with it's 4oo rooms and baths, located in a beau- tfful park of 1000 acres, offering to visitors all the restful effects of natures most sylvan surroundings, along with every convenience their well-being and comfort command.

Every
 Beat

Forces about 8 ounces of blood out of the heart, and sends it coursing through the veins to the remotest part of the body. This is the amount required by nature to nourish and sustain your body. Every ounce less than this means a shortage in natures supply of building-up material. A weak heart cannot meet this demand, and conse- quently you suffer. If your heart skips a beat, or flutters, palpitates, pains you, or you have shortness of breath, you may be sure that the heart IS working inperfectly.
 Dr. Miles Heart Cure will strengthen the heart muscles and nerves.

Case Taken to Supreme Court Which
 Involves But SPA.

Washington. January 2.-The supreme court of the United States today decided the case of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad company vs. F. E. Deer, revers- ing the decision of the supreme court of Alabama, which was favorable to Deer. This was an action to recover $24 claimed by Deer to be due him for wages by the railroad company, but notwithstanding the insignificance of the sum involved the case travelled all the way from a justices 8 court to the highest tribunal in the na- tion The company admitted owing to Deer the amount claimed but resisted payment on the ground that the money had been paid on a garnishee proceeding against Deer.
 The garnishee proceeding was in Flori- da, notwithstanding Deer was resident of Alabama and the Alabama trial court held the Florida court to be without iourisdiction and the railroad company to be liable. The company resisted payment and appealed the case from one court to the other until it reached the highest.

SEVEN STORY BUILDING

Selma, January 2.-(Special) )-Dalas county escaped a lynching yesterday in the vicinity near Orrville by the good sense of the citizens of that neighbor- hood asserting itself The night before at Crumptonia the barn belonging to s. E. Macon was burned, the entire contents being destroyed There were about 12O0 bushels of corn in the barn and a num- Der of head of stock. The latter were gotten out in safety but the building and contents went up in smoke Three ne- groes were arrested charged with the crime and it is said that one of the three confessed to the crime telling how one of them poured oil on the fodder and hay while another set fire to it and the third kept watch.
 There was much feeling against the ne- groes when it became known that they were in custody and the crime had been fastened upon them and there was much talk of taking the law In their own hands. Sheriff Blackwell was notified and Depu- ty Sheriff Townsend, with three special deputies, went to the scene. The good sense of the citizens had asserted itself and there was no overt act looking to the punishment of the negroes. The deputy and his aides returned to the city last night with the three negroes, landing them safely in jail.
 Seven-Story Skyscraper
 Selma went for forty years with a four-story building, the Hotel Albert as its tallest building. During the past year the Oberndorf building of five stories was erected and now comes information that Elasberg & Bros are arranging to erect a seven-story building on their property at the corner of Lauderdale and Alabama streets, opposite the county court house. On this site was formerly located the lavish synagogue and it was purchased several years ago by Eliasberg & Bros. for about 5000 They have repeatedly refused s7O0O for the property and have had in view the erection of a sky-scraper for their stores. Their wholesale depart ment is just in the rear of this property and is a two-story building of modern design and equipment. 1t is said that plans will be finished in a short while for the new sky-scraper,

As In the DAYS Of Aladdin.

Modern science plays the role Of the
genii OF Aladdin's time, usually for
~benehcent or laudable ends, but there
Is a hint of diabolism in an invention
reported from Paris which is nothing
less than disappearing paper" The
uncanny thing is made according to the
following process:
The paper Is first stepped in acid (sul-
phurlc acid by prefcrence) diluted ac-
cord1ng to the lease of life it Is intended
the material should possess. 1t is after
ward dried and glazed and the acid super
tlcially neutralized by means Of ammonia
vapor. But the acid still remains in the
pores, and the paper is infallibly doomed
after an existence more or less prolonged
as the case may be.
Vanishing paper is no novelty in
certain circles, as, for instance, finan-
clal securities, wills, codicils, written
pledges and the like, although it is
usually believed that the missing docu-
ments will turn up just at the right
time for some Of the parties interested.
The Paris Joker does away with all
necessity Of playing at hide and seek
in these matters. The note, the pledge,
the ardent love letters, even the mar
rage certificate or the treaties which
states use as paWnS, may be written on
disappearing paper or parchment, timed
to vanish when they have served the
purpose of the schemcr who manipu-
lates them.
