Many Seek Office.

Inscrutable to the minds of the rank
and file of those who are specializing as
to Gov. Noel's ultimate disposition of
the Supreme Court judgeship, which he
is to bestow upon some TAI early next
year, as to the position or leanings Of
the executive in this matter, the guess
work continues. The governor has said
that he will not touch that matter until
the time comes for action, which will not
be until after the turn of the year, and
while he is open to receive nominations
and recommendations or Endorsements,
all will be treated alike for the present,
is the filing away for future ref
erence. This uncertainty. will have the
effect of keeping several gentlemen in
terestedS in the outcome in a speculative
frame of mind and their friends anxious
and wary.
Meanwhile the Endorsements of several
gentlemen who are considered among the
possibilities come to the governors office
or to friends of the candidates in jack
son quite freely and regularly.

clans treated him for nearly a year
without helping him any. His head,

run out and that would be worse.
Friends coming to see him said that if
he got well he would be disfigured for
life. When it seemed as if he could
possibly stand it no longer, l used
some Cuticura Soap, Cuticura ONT

Banks Doing Well.


State Auditor f. j. Smith has issued
a compilation of the statements of the
State banks doing business in MISSISSIPPI
pi, showing their condition on November
az, as compared with the compilation
showing condition of banks on June 2
last,i on which date these institutions
submitted their statements.
During the period from June 2 to No
vember ~ the number of banks in
creased from 316 to 321.
Aggregate resources increased from
$56, s6s,363.74 to $63,419, 500. SO, or So
543,137.62.
Capital stock invested in the business
increased from $12,496, 911.5O to $12,-
5~52,475.5O, or about $4,000, this prac-
tically representing the capital stock of
the five new banks formed during the
period.
Loans and discounts increased from
$3s, $50, $3.50 to $39,61O,291.2O or a
little more than 81 900, 900, thus giving
evidence that the banks did little to if
crease their loans during the summer
and autumn period, but booked nearly
alls~advances during the early part Of
the year.

New Roads Projected.

While there has been a wave of rail-
road development in the lower half Of
the State and the delta section during
the past few years, the movtment in the
northeastern part and in the prairie
country has not been SO active until re-
Gently. The action of the Illinois Cen.
trail in cutting across the northeast cor
ner, from Corinth into Alabama, was a
movement which begot inspiration and
generated the fever elsewhere, and promi-
nent among these is the regeneration of
the Memphis and Pensacola project. The
attention of the State has been at
tracted to the action of the citizens of
West Point in voting that corporation
100000 for right of way and terminals,
by a large majority, and now there is a
movement on foot to inspire the same
people to vote a $4,000 issue of bonds
for the West Point and Houston, d pro-
posed Independent line, projected to~run
northwest through Clay and Chickasaw
counties and form a junction there with
the Mobile, Jackson and Kansas City
and the southern's Calhoun City branch.
The citizens of Houston have already got
ten busy, and it is predicted that they
will vote a $4,000 issue for the encour-
agcment of the enterprise, and further
off, in Yalobusha, the proposition is being
agitated with a view to having that pro-
g~ressive county represented in the deal.
1t seems quite certain that if the West
Point and Houston is built to the latter
point, it will not stop there, as there
is a fine field for exploitation through
Calhoun into Yalobusha, and those who
are acquainted with the country are of
the opinion that such would make an
ideal short cut line from Water Valley
into the prairie section, through an
adaptable territory.

PAYMENT of State Pensions.

Auditor Smith secured the approval of
the governor and encouragement to a
plan to permit the tax collectors through
out the State to delay their settlements
for taxes paid during November and add
to them those collected in December up to
:hle 18th, and take up, if possible, the
pension warrants for their respective
counties, in order that he Confederate
pensioners would get their money rs
early as possible.
While the idea is a good one from the
standpoint of the p%ensioner, it is equally
good for the tax collector, as it saves the
transportation of the money from the
county treasures, to pay the pensions,
and at the same time saves the sheritts
the transportation OH their collections
from their counties to the State treas
ury.

at an educational rally in Aberdeen un'
der the auspices of the Monroe County
Teachers Association. An effort was
made by Prof. Powers to induce the
Monroe county authorities to establish
an agricultural high school. Monroe is
n of the best agricultural counties in
the State, has a large enrolment of
white children, and it is the opinion of
Prof Powers that if the agricultural
high school movement once obtains a
footing in that section of the State it
will soon be adopted by all the adjoin-
ing counties.

Exporting From Gulfport.

Since the Mississippi Railroad Com
mission ordered a reduction of freight
| rates on cotton and cottonseed products
from all points in the State to Gulf
port, several of the largest factors in
Jackson have been shipping the product
from this city to Gulfport for export
from that point. According to Ship
Island officials, cotton is also moving
freely from other points in the State to
G%ulfport, and the experience of export
ers with the harbor facilities at that
point has thus far been very satisfac-
tory. The rate promulgated by the COM
mission means a decided saving on cot
ton shipments.
Tax Paying Day.
December Is was tax-paying day in
Mississippi, and more tax money was
paid in that day perhaps than on any
other day in the year, with the single
exception of February 1. The difference
between the incentive on the two dates
is that after December Is the statutes
authorize the tax collectors to proceed
to make collections by legal process, and
to add ten per cent damages, and after
Feb. / every man who has not paid all
the taxes legally required of him for
the two previous years is DISTINGUISHED.
