crease over present city values.
Tax Assessor McKinnon does not
believe that a new assessment will
show any great or material change
either way. 1t is believed that lands
in the country will show an increase,
except where the storm struck the
timber and that the city assessment
will be about the same, while some
property will show decrease, yet the
city limits have been extended and
where formerly land was assessed by
the acre, it will now be assessed by the
lot, hence not much change in the tot
al will be shown in the city.

BOARD TO DECIDE ON
new Land ASSESSMENT

At the July term of the board Of
supervisors, it will be definitely de-
termined whether new realty asses
sment for the county of Forrest will
be ordered.
In anticipation of such action by the
board, county tax assessor, w. S. Nc
Kinnon. will have everything in read
mess to begin the work at once.
1t is thought by many that new
assessment of real property is nee
essary, since a new county has been
formed.
There is some room for doubt that
a new assessment will show any in

SENATOR HALL IN FAVOR Of
MITCHELL FOR V|CE-PRESIDENT

= Hon. R. S. Hall, who was selected
by the Democratic state convention
as delegate to the Democratic Ma
tional convention which meets in Den
yer, July 6, is openly in favor of max.
ing John Mitchell, of Illinois, the
great labor leader, the running mate of
of VIM. ]. Bryan, whose nomination is
now conceded.
Senator Hall thinks that Bryan and
Mitchell would constitute winning
ticket.
The senator himself is naturally
strong friend of labor, and more than
this of organized labor.
In speaking of the political outlook
the senatr said that the Republicans
The Hattiesburg news., 1908-06-23

had made miserable failure in trying
to please the labor leaders with an anti
injunction plank that was really worth
nothing and was intended to deceive
and mislead.
Senator Hall said that he was in fa-
vor pf making John Mitchell the
vice presidential candidate because he
was not only a good man, but would
add materially to the strength of the
Democratic ticket, and he was of the
opinion that this should be taken into
consideration.
The senator recognizes the fact
however, that there are several other
prominent Democrats who would add
strength to the ticket, but he is sure Of

COMPANY GETS
TIME EXTENSION

Asking for an extension of six
months. a petition signed by John
Smith, treasurer of the Oregon Wash
ington Traction company, was filed
with the city council last night. and
after the question had been discussed,
a resolution was introduced by Coun-
Gilman Bachtold granting the desired
extension. The forfeit of $4,000 which
was required as an evidence of good
faith, would have been due December
%. Delay in preliminary work last fall
is given as the reason for the request
for an extension of time.
Treasurer Smith deposited with the
council last night 10 shares in the In
land Empire Building & Loan associa-
ton, at a value of $1,000, the forfeit de-
post required by ordinance No. 1927,
passed December II, 1907, and extend

street neighborhood attached their
names to a remonstrance, presented to
the council last night, asking that no
paving improvement be made on Rose
street between Second and Eighth
streets, any kind Or quality of pave
ment being objected to-
The remOnstrance came as a surprise
to the city fathers, who, bent on cut
ting down expenses to the limit, had
entertained no thoughts of improving
Rose street at this time, and as there
was ''nothin' dom" on which property
owners could object, the remonstrance
was laid on the table,

Murdered by a Stat Q.

The death of ZENITH, the half myth
ical king of Scotland, was one Of the
most curious and remarkable in his
tory, if it may be called historical
fact. 1t seems that ZENITH had slain
Cruthlintus, son, and Malcolm Duff
fus, the king and brother of Fennella.
She, to be revenged, caused Wiltus,
the most ingenious artist of the time,
to fashion a statue filled with auto
matte springs and levers. Finished
and set up this brazsn image was an
admirable work of art. In its right
hand Wiltus placed a ever and in the
left an apple of pure gold finely set
with diamonds and other precions
stones. To touch this apple was to
court death. 1t was SO arranged that
any one guilty of such vandalism
would be Immediately riddled with
arrows shot from loop holes in the
statutes body. ZENITH was invited
to see the wonder and kiDglike (and
just as FennelIa hoped), tried to pluck
the imitation fruit. He was instantly
riddled with poisoned arrows, dying
where he fell.

Milk by the Brick.

Milk may be bought in Belgium and
Denmark in summer just the same as
some kinds of ice cream-by the brick.
1t will be frozen solid, though, and if
intended for use az soon as received in
the household the lacteal fluid for the
tea or coffee will have to be Clipped
off with the handle of the knife or
fork. according to the quantity in the
drink. This brick milk has grown to
be necessary in the warmer countries
of Europe.
The Belgian government has given
a yearly subsidy of about $50 600 to in.
crease the trade. In COPENHAGEN a
firm engaged in this business makes a
week delivery of 100000 pounds per
week, and great deal of this goes to
distant countries.
