THIRTY NEW BANKS I'M
MISSISSIPPI IN 1906
The Figures Do Not Include Five National
Institutions.

A Jackson, Miss., special says:
OF general interest in financial
circles is the report Of Sec etary
of State Power showing that dur
ing the year 1906 thirty new state
banks, with an aggregate capital
Of 81, 1877, 900, were chartered in
Mississippi, a record perhaps un-
equaled by that Of any state in
the south, excepting Texas.
These figures do not include
five national banks organized
under authority Of the comp
troller of the currency, with
combined capital of $550,000,
thus giving a grand total of cap
ital invested in banking of ST.
737, GOO.
Before the close Of the present
week all state banks in Missis-
sippi will declare dividends on
1906 business and, except in the
case of new banks, these divi-
dends will vary from s to 10 per
cent, and despite the fact that
the year in banking has not been
unusually prosperous, owing to
the stringency of the money
market, rendering it necessary
to borrow large sums in the cas-
tern market at high interest
rates to meet the demands of
customers.
A notable feature OF the years.
business has been the heavy in
crease in savings deposits, and
the prosperity Of banks transact
ing savings business exclusively.
Small wage earners have put
large deposits into these instItu-
tions at the uniform interest rate
at 4 per cent. which is much
cheaper than the banks awe
been able to borrow in New York.

NEGRO NAMES
FOR JURY LIST
A New Method Adopted By
Warren County.

A Vicksburg, Miss, special says:
Negroes hereafter will be ad-
mitted on Warren county juries.
For many years it has been
understood that no negroes
would be allowed to serve on
Mississippi juries, especially
Warren county.
Now this is TO be changed.
The board of supervisors has
decided that in drawing of juries
the names from which the juries
are drawn, must include those of
negroes.
This action was taken because
of many cases appealed to the
Supreme Court on the ground
that negroes were barred from
the juries, which. according to
lawyers making the appeals, is a
violation of the constitution.
One case recently was where a
negro was under a death sem
tence appealed. The Supreme
Court ignored this phase of the
case entirely, but granted the
condemned man a new trial.
New trials mean extra expense
to the taxpayers, say the mem
bers of the board of supervisors,
and TO save money, as we'll as to
expedite justice, names of ne
groes from this time on will be
placed in the jury wheel.

About seventy five years ago,
soon after the traditional falling
of the stars, near the middle of
third decade of the last century,
DIR. Samuel d. Malone, a young
naval surgeon, settled in COlum
bus on what is known as the
Southeast corner of St. John and
College streets; built his dwell
ing house which still stands, and
which is said to be the first house
built in Columbus to have vene-
tian blinds instead of the old
time shutters, and following the
custom of those days of having
offices in the side yard a few
PAGES from the dwelling, built
his doctors office on the st. John
side.
After weathering the storms
and vicissitudes of SO many event
full years this modest old struc.
ture is now being demolished; It's
destruction seems almost like
the desecration of a sacred relic
or the breaking of a link in the
chain of evidence that connects
us with the past. This old Office
bore on its door the UNIQUE SIGN
in the shape of a shield with
Apollo's crest upon it, as Apollo
was the Patron of Medicine, the
motto "Quae Prosunt Omnibus
surrounded the mystic symbol,
the wings of healing" and two
vipers ertwined about the stan
dard.
If those old walls had tongues
how many pathetic and tragic
stories they might tell us: of the
broken limbs that were set and
splinted; Of the shot and balls
that were probed and cut for;
the dislocated joints that had to
be reduced; the fractured skulls
trephined; the staphylotomies,
lithotomies, tenotomies, phlebo-
tonnes, cuppings and tappings
and many other terrible opera

RAILROAD COMMISSION
AFTER LOWER RATES
Will Demand Same Rates From Greenvi||e To
Columbus As Those Given From
vCkSbuTg to Meridian.

Of rates to the Aberdeen group
will be considered. The object
Iof this notice is to advise you
that the Commission will desire
to discuss the question of estab-
fishing rates from Greenville
similar to rates established from
Vicksburg to Meridian and re-
Gently upheld by the Supreme
Court of the United States. This
notice is sent direct to you in or
der that you may be advised and
in order that you may arrange
to have such representative of
your traffice department present
as you may desire.
Another matter that the Com
mission will wish to consider is
the proposition to establish inter-
changeable mileage in Mississip-
pi. The idea is to make this mi
leage good over all roads at a
rate Of two cents.
Another matter that will be
considered is the question of dis
continuing the four cent rate
permitted on trains where pass
engers have failed to procure
tickets.
The Commission is anxious to
go into these matters promptly
and trust that you will be pre-
pared to be represented at the
time suggested and that you will
come with a view of meeting the
Commissions ideas in these mat
ters as far as consistent from the
railroads standpoint.
Very truly yours,
II. IL. MAXWELL,
Secretary.

FAVORABLE OUTLOOK
FOR COLUMBUS
A Great Deal of Work To Be Completed
In 1907.

Columbus begin 1907 with
exceedingly bright prospects;
equal if not better than any pre-
vious year.
Among the improvements now
assured are the following:
aiming g Factory Building
s8,0oO.0O
New school building $2O,000.-
90
Columbus Insurance B X
$40, 100000
Government building $40, 900. 90
Gilmer Hotel remodeled $780,
10000
The addition to the Stone Ho-
tel 100000
Extensive improvements at the
NJ. & o. Depot, consisting Of
ware houses and office buildings;
also elevated coal shutes for un-
loading coal cars.
These will give employment to
all of our mechanics, the brick
yards, stave factories, oil mills,
congresses, cotton factory, ma
chine shops, stove plant, marble
works, fertilizer factory, etc. In
fact every body who desires to
work can be given employment
and it is the knocker only who
will remain idle. We hope all of
the latter class are either dead or
will get sick enough TO die in
the near future.
Prosperity is ours; lets en-
brace the opportunity to use it.

chine for $1,000 O. K. but in
about three weeks he sneaked in

amounted commerce for the Tom
bigbee river is due to the fact OF
interested parties on said river
furnishing information which is
not correct. The steamer Tally,
which it is claimed carried 30,-
600 tons of freight during 1905.
was not in commission, being a
wreck on the east bank of Mobile
river.
"Between Columbus and De-
mopolis it is claimed the steamer
w. j. Bethea carried 8,400 tons
of freight, these boats being one
and the same. 1t is the opinion
of steamboat agents here that
figures furnished for statistics by
parties on Tomhigbee river be-
tween Columbus and Dsnopoiia
are somewhat large.

fection n d charm. Viewed
through the clear medium of
Miss Orr's wonderful intellect,
sympathetic understanding and
poetic insight. Browning ceased
TO be the 'obscure poet of the
superficial reader, and became
the great and luminous star of
the first magnitude among the
moderns. Every phase of the
poets splendid genius was made
to shine in its own proper hue,
and by the added light of the
gifted lecturer presentation of
the subject.
His remarkable personality,
lofty purposes, indomitable cour-
age, sublime optimism and radi-
ant faith, as portrayed by Miss
Orr. made ones heart to sing the
Browning faith, song and JOY

Miss Orr has long enjoyed and
deserved a reputation for the
breadth of scholarship, profun-
dity of research, intellectual acu-
men and keen discriminating
faculties which render one a
critic of high order.
The superb treatment of her
subject on this occasion, not on
ly sustained, but strengthened
her claims to the highest and
best yet achieved by woman in
the realm of critical scholarship.
These requirements, supple
mented by the inimitable charm
of her sweet womanliness and
beautiful idealism, render Miss
Orr one of those rare characters
whose passage through the
world leaves in its wake a bright
path, illumined by clearer vision,
purer and nobler efforts and
loftier ideals.
At the conclusion of the lee
ture, the guests were presented
to Misses Orr and Paisley, every
one being eager to meet these
gifted women, and to express to
Miss Orr very high degree of
enjoyment and appreciation of
her Browning lecture. During
this social hour a delightful sal
ad course was served. All too
soon the fast falling winter twi-
light sent the guests homeward,
bearing the favors, mistletoe tied
with red ribbons, and wearing
in their hearts, the softened
afterglow of the vision splen-
did. "-Oxford Eagle.
