A recapitulation of the assessment
rolls of all the counties Of the state
shows that the total valuation of pro-
perty in Mississippi has increased
nearly ten million dollars this year
over 1908. The total real estate assess
ment is $231, $50, 5Ss, and the value OF
personality is $1O9, 92s, 544. A number
of the counties in the southern part OF
the state reduced their assessment

The prohibition amendment to the
Alabama constitution, voted on last
Monday, was overwhelmingly defeated.
This does not indicate that the state
is not for prohibition, bat IS a rebuke
to the many non essential and cumber-

Farmers as advertisers is not gen
eral thing, but why DotH All business
men who succeed do so through hard
work and advertising. A man may
have the best live stock in the country,
but if no oneEknows it he is not likely
to make high priced sales. One man
will sell an animal for several hundred
dollars while another will sell one
equally as good for half the money.
The difference comes mainly through
advertising. If YOU advertise in the
right way, you create desire to pos,
sess what you have to sell and sales
can be made through correspondence.
In that way you get choice OF Gus
toners and a chance to pick out the
man who has the money to pay for good
stock. There are many ways to adver'
tise. The best way usually is through
the newspapers, because they carry
your message to thousands Of farmers,
any one of whom might become inter
ested in the story you have to tell,

The marriage Of Miss Loretta Smith, of No

Church Of the Holy Rosary, 10Th street and
Pleasant avenue last night witnessed by a
large number Of friends. After the ceremony
the couple entered a waiting carriage at the
door of the church and headed the procession
of three coaches for the home of the brides
parents.
Everything went along smoothly until the
coach in which the newly welded pair were
seated reached Third ayenue and 161st street.
They were startled by loud report and
brilliant illumination that seemed to play around
the coach. Engel thought it was a practical
joke but the cries of warning from persons in
the street soon convinced him that it was a
more serious matter. An overhead trolley wire
had snapped and end of it had become en-
tangled about the legs Of one OF the horses
He kicked and struggled 10 free himself, but
the more h struggled the tighter he drew the
wire about his legs. Finally the wire came in
contact with the drivers hand and he was
pitched headlong to the pavement. The horse
dropped TO the pavement in a heap, the young
bride tainted and Engel carried her 10 drug
store. The coach was badly damaged, but the
driver not severely injured.

NO ATTACK ON JAPANESE.
President Wheeler Says Incident Is
Closed Consul BeittIes 1t.

6erkeiey. CAL Jan 31-That the alleged at
tack upon K Kaneko, a japanese student at
the University of California on the university
campus Friday evening. turns out to have been
very trivial affair and one in which the stu
dents OF the university We're not concerned was
the statement made tonight by President Ben
]amin Ide Wheeler, after an investigation
The best of feeling exists between the white
and the few Japanese students at the univer-
sfty, said Mr.. Wheeler. NV investigation
shows that none of the students of the uni
versity were implicated in the alleged attack
and / do not for moment believe any Of them
would be guilty of such act
The affair has been unduly exaggerated.
From what I have learned the japanese met
several boys. who merely laughed at him and
who may have jostled him little When he
arrived at the place where he is living there was
not scratch him. his clothing was not even
disaTranged, and there was nothing about his
appearance to indicate that he had been at
tackled. 1 believe that the alleged attack was
merely matter of Kanekos imagination. and
that he is very sorry now"
Vice Consul General Takahashi when seen at
the japanese consulate last night said that no
report had been made to him concerning the
alleged attack upon Kaneko.
1t is a matter for the police court TO settle
said the Vice Consul General. Even should it
be officially reported to me, 1 consider il to-
trivial to deserve any attention
