 Mass of Information.
 The most formidable array of paper that has been seen since the Board be- gan It's work was submitted by MT.
 Jones. But the Board was already tired with its long session on the Gen. tral, and Mir. Jones's statement before the Board was not long. He contented himself with answering the questions, giving such information as he thought vital and then submitting the carefully compiled certificates he had brought. MT. Jones read from statement carefully prepared by w. H. Courtney.
 the chief engineer of the Louisville and Nashville. The statement was the basis of the assertions IS to the actual value of the road as made in the proceedings in the Fedeeal court. The engineer and his assistants were more than six weeks examining the
 road and its branch lines and compil- ing the statement.
 It developed from that statement that the cost of producing the South and North Road, which is under lease to the Louisville and Nashville Road
 for 999 years. would be s7S,00o a mile. The stocks and bonds on the road amounted to more than $70,0o0 mile. |. When the Governor asked If the Louisville and Nashville had not re- | fused an offer of par value of the stock and the assumption of all in- debtedness for the South and North.
 Mir. Jones replied that the cffer was not a bona fde offer. It developed that the South and North division of | the Louisville and Nashville was given | in for taxes at $16,000 mile and that the same valuation was placed upon
 the road between Montgomery and Mobile.
 MT. Jones had some figures to show that the average railroad assessment in Alabama was higher per mile than it was in Georgia and Mississippi. but that the Tennessee assessment com pared very favorabiy with the assess
 ment in Alabama. Governor Conner took issue with him on the comparison of the assessments of Georgia and Alabama. The Governor declared that | many railroads in Georgia were small unimportant lines, that there were many more such lines in Georgia than
 there were in Alabama.
 The Board took the figures and an- nounced that at some later day the | Louisville and Nashville assessment l would be fixed.
 Attorney F. K. Campbell and Di-
 vision Superintendent A. D. Lightner | of the Frisco System came before the Board to represent the property of | that company in the State. put they
 were without the detailed information | that the Board wanted. The hearing of the road was therefore continued until Wednesday, April 24.
 The Board will not meet today. Its
 next hearing will be on Monday.

ETAnED STATEMENTS MADE
Property in All Counties Assessed
 at 46 Per Cent,
Central of Georgia anad Louisville and Nashville Roads Have Gathered Statistics Which are Presented
 To State Board.

Evidence that real property in Ala bama is assessed at between 45 and 4e per cent of its actual value. gathered from each of the sixty-seven counties of the State was filed yesterday before the State Board of Equalization in tn hearing on the assessment of the taxe of that road. This evidence will figure also in the Federal court proceedings.
 It developed in the Boards hearing of the cases of the Louisville and Nashville and the Central of Georgia, that the railroads had united in secur- ing real estate and tax information from every county in the State. Men were employed who were familiar with that class of work. to copy all records of sale of real estate in a given month. They were then required to ascertain what assessment the new and the old owner of the real estate had put upon the property. This information was as- sembled from the sixty-seven counties of the State and the percentage taken and sworn to. According to the actual cash price paid for the property. 1t was asoertained that real estate in Alabama was assessed at 46 per cent of its cash value.
 The information first came when Col. Alexander R. Lawton. first vice presi- dent and general counsel of the Gen. tral of Georgia, was on the stand Colonel Lawton furthermore took occa- sion to declare his conviction that the property of the Central of Georgia in Alabama was assessed at not less than 60 per cent of It's actual value. When Colonel Lawton mentioned the 46 per cent tax valuation of Alabama real es- tate, Governor Conner said:
 "where did you get that informa- tionr'
 "I gave the information as received it from statistics which had been re- gently gathered"
 Major R. E. Steiner, attorney for the Central, then explained to the Governor what had been done toward securing this tax information. The railroads of the State had examined the probate books of every county in the State and copied every sale of real estate. The sale was then followed to the tax books to ascertain what it had been returned

OUR GREAT DEVELOPMENT.

TT SUALLY statistics are dry reading and
- can be twisted to prove almost anything,
but sometimes the dull figures speak more im-
pressively than words. Richard II. Edmonds,
editor Of the Manufacturers Record, in an ar
ticle on Americas Amazing Development" tells
of the wonder material progress the country has
made during the last decade. The development
of the nation has been along logical and right
lines. There has been nothing spasmodic about
it. In all branches of industrial life there has
been vast increase OF the production and pos
session Of wealth.
The value of farm properties, for instance, has
grown from SS,ooo,ooo,ooo in 1870 TO SaSooo-
oooooo and the number Of people engaged in ag-
ricuture has increased from about 6,oooooo to
nearly 100000. 1t has been supposed that ag
riculture has not kept pace with the manufactur-
ing progress. but the farming interests have
shown a solid and substantial growth. The value
Of the farm products during the same period has
increased from about $2,ooo,ooo,ooo to $1,000
100000. and the value Of agricultural products
per capita has increased from $50 to estimated
So, based on the entire population, while based
on those actually engaged in farming the value
has about doubled.
The railroad mileage mas SHOWN an enormous
increase from about $4,000 miles in 1870 to an
estimated $4,000 miles in 1890 The value Of
the mineral products of the country have in
creased from S359oooooo in 1880, to SI,4ooooo,-
600 in 1906 The forward move OF the manuiac-
turing interests is shown by growth OF from
$4,000 establishments in 1870 to $4,000 in 1000,
and the figures for last year, which are not avail
able, would indicate still greater percentage Of
increase. The value of the products increased
from S4,232,ooo in 1870 to estimated $1,000
600 last year and the number of employees has in
creased from 2,os3,ooo TO 5,7o5,ooo. The assets
of the national banks are nearly four times as
great while the total deposits in all banks have
increased from Sa,I34ooo,ooo to SII,S5o,ooo,ooo.
Savings bank deposits nearly four times as
great and the number Of depositors in savings
banks have increased from 2,S35,ooo in 1880 to
100000. 1t will thus be seen that the develop
ment of the country has not been one-sided, but
all occupations and all classes OF people have
shared in it.

During an address before the BIZ
State meetirTs Of the Pennsylvania and
New Jersey Library Associations at
Atlantic City, Secretary A. NJ. Hes
ton, of the Atlantic city Free Library,
advocated the va'ue of authentic his

Ia popular and glaring error, declared
that the praise bestowed on Robert
Fuseon as the inventor of the steam
boat should have been given to John
Fitch, Jerseyman, who operated a
steamboat on the Delaware river years
before Fulton sought to use steam as
a motive power.

deavor to place in supreme authority
IN the nation the man who formulated
the plan which has brought years Of
Industrial peace and the greatest pros
perity ever known to. the anthracite
coal regions.
A supporter of Judge Gray said to-
day: "The mine workers, the coal
operators and the business men Of this
region have ever before them the fact
that the President of the United States
who Is elected next year will be in his
seat less than a month before another
industrial crisis will be precipitated
in this region.
Right Sort of Ruler Important.
on April 1, 1903, the present work
ing agreement of the United Mine
Workers with the anthracite operators
will cease. and there is nothing now
in sight which win prevent both sides
from fighting their troubles to a I'm
ish. The mere prospect Of such a
calamity is already casting its shadow
over the region.
But IL Judge Gray should be nomi-
mated and elected President, complete
confidence would be restored, because
both operators and miners feel the ut
most confidence in Judge Gray and
feel certain that his intimate knowl-
edge Of conditions in the anthracite re-
gion would enable him to bring per-
manent peace to the region"
There is hardly any doubt that the
Cancellation Board, at its next meet
ing. will choose Judge Gray as the arr
bitrator in one Of the most import
ant labor disputes that has ever come
up IN the anthracite region, thus DEM
onstrating anew the confidence which
both sides repose in the Delaware
jurist.
