The mystery concerning the disap-

900 in currency in transit by mail
from the Atlantic National Bank of
this city to the Chemical National
Bank of New York was cleared up

Decline Of Smallpox.

Smallpox is steadily decreasing in
the United States, according to the
Public Health and Marine Hospital
service, As told in bulletin issued,
dealing with this subject and with
vaccination. It is due to vaccination
that it has been on the decline for
the last five years. That smallpox
exists in the country to any serious
extent, however, is believed by the
Public Health and Marine Hospital
officials to be due to the fact that
compulsory vaccination is not enforc-
ed as it is in Germany.
In 1902 there were reported 55257
cases Of smallpox in this country,
with 1852 deaths. In 1905 there were
reported 12,503 cases, with ninety
deaths. This decrease is considered
by the Public Health and Marine
Hospital authorities to be due to the
increased vigilance on the part Of
the state and national authorities and
the wide dissemination Of information
in regard to the prevention Of the
disease. Many cities and states have
enacted ordinances and laws requiring
the vaccination Of all children before
they may be allowed to attend the
public schools. In Germany, where
vaccination is compulsory and univer-
sal, in the year 1906 there were but
twenty-six cases Of smallpox, with
five deaths, and these cases were
largely imported from other coun-
tries.
"The experience of Germany"
says the bulletin, "where compulsory
vaccination has been in force for
thirty years, proves conclusively that
smallpox, as existing in the United
States, is entirely unnecessary, and
vaccination and revaccination cannot
be too strongly urged as the only
means of removing this pest"

French Tax on Coffee.

Although notice of the issue in
Paris of a decree imposing the max
imum duties on coffee imported from
the United States and Porto Rico
has not yet reached the State De-
partment, the officials were fully pre-
pared for some such action, having
been informed, in the course of the
correspondence which has been going
on for the past six months, that it
was contemplated. The reason for
the issue of the decree is said to
be dissatisfaction of the French gov
eminent at the failure of the United
States Senate to act upon the French
reciprocity treaty which has been
pending before that body for several
years. Added to this, it is said, IS
a suspicion on the part of the French
government that the negotiations now
In progress between the United States
and Germany relative to the tariff
upon American goods imported into
Germany conceals some advantage
to be bestowed on German trade with
the United States in which French
trade is not to share. This decree
is regarded as the beginning of
systematic effort to bring such pres
sure to bear upon the American Con.
gress through the imposition of res
trictions upon the American export
trade as will force the whole subject
of reciprocity upon its attention at
the beginning of the next session.

Alcorn has recently fallen into the
column for road improvement. The
contract for roads in the First dis
trict has been let at rate Of $50 per
mile for first class and 500 per mile
for second. A machine for building
roads has been purchased and Alcorn
properly comes into her place as a
member of the good roads association.
Now that. the good work has been
inaugurated, the people should not
become discouraged and want to quit
if success does not come right at the
start. Mistakes will be made, but
correct them and keep kicking. We
need roads worse than anything just
at this time, and must have them at
any reasonable price.
The Brandon news. (Brandon, Miss.) 1892-1961, 1907-04-25
Missouri has recently passed 4 law

Missouri has recently passed a law
making an appropriation Of a large
sum OF money for road Improvement
along the following lines: The fund
IS appropriated among counties desir-
ing better roads and willing to CO.
operate in the movement in proper
ton to the taxable valuation OF the
property in the county. Then il fifty
counties signify their willingness to
JOIN the movement, the fund is ap-
propriated among them as has been
stated. The county that gets $25, 900
must appropriate an equal amount
and the work is done under compe-
tent management so that the best
results will be obtained. This seems
to De sensible system of handling
state appropriation. IF county
Is interested, and desires state aid,
an equal amount must be furnished by
the county itself before the state
appropriation is available. Such q
plan would no doubt stimulate good
roads interest from the fact that q
county that does not take advantage
OF the opportunity to build some
roads must necessarily pay something
toward the building of roads in coun-
ties that do. The Missouri plan is
worthy Of consideration to say the
least Of it,
The United States authorities in
charge of the boil weevil investiga-
ton Of this section state that the
ravages Of the weevil will be unus-
ually destructive this year, more so
than on former years. The unusual
ly mild winter has caused the weevil
to come from his alternating period
unusually early and m much gieateI
numbers than has ever been known.
1t this be true, and there is gooa rea
son to believe it is, we may look for
q considerable falling off in the pro-
duction Of cotton for 19O7-08. Mis-
sissippi will likely be infected with
the weevl on the lower border before
the season is over, and possibly at
other places on account Of the abb
sence OF a law to p1.vent its intro
duction by shipments of seed, meal
and etc., but it will be two or three
years before they would cover the
state by ordinary migratory means.
Then, if DR.. Hunter is correct in his
predictions for the present year, Mis-
sissippi should raise. every bale pos
sible. IF the yZevil-infected section
of the cotton belt is cut off in produc-
ton as seriously as is feared, all that
can be raised in other sections will
command a handsome price this fall.
