Jackson.-As an indication of the
general financial condition of the state
of Mississippi the certified and sworn
statements of the banks of the state to
the auditor of public accounts, includ
ing both state and national banks, are
deemed conclusive. Some ten days agc
Auditor Smith issued a statement
showing the condition of the state
banks, but at that time he had not re
ceived those of the thirty %nationa'
banks, and while the state bank zig
ures were satisfactory those of the two
classes combined add still further IL
formation.
The most significant showing from
the general array of statistics is the
large increase in individual and time
deposits, a%ggregating s9,500,000,
This shows that there is money pu.
aside by the people and that it is read

DECLINE OF POPULATION.
Why the River Counties Have Shown
a Slight Decrease.

Jackson.-One of the interesting
features of the federal census report
on Mississippi's population is the de-
-rease in population shown by several
counties bordering on the Mississippi
river, notably Adams, Washington,
Warren and Claiborne, which show de-
creases of from 5000 to 5000 each, as
compared with the 1900 censu
This decline can be easily accounted
for, as it has been undoubtedly due to
the exodus of negroes from those coun-
lies after the advent of the boil weevil,
which created a great deal of unneces-
sary alarm among members of that
race.
For instance, it is known that more
than 5000 negroes left Adams county
after the boil weeyil crossed the river

PEANUT FREIGHT RATES..
Farmers In Boil WeeviI Section Mus
Have Reduction.

Jackson.-In view of the fact that
every energy is being being bent to
foster the growing and distribution o.
peanuts in Mississippi in the boil e
vii sections, to replace the cotton crop
and to furnish material for the OF
mills, the question of freight rates ha
thus early come to the front in the ell
deavors to obtain seed, and must BIZ
given prompt attention.
The rate on cotton seed is now {
cents per hundred in carlots, and FOL
planting purposes, in less than car lots
9 cents.
The rate on peanuts is IS cents
when hauled over two or more lines
and 16 cents when on one line, this fol
a haul of from SO to 35 miles. On the
Gulf & Ship Island railroad the hau
for the same distance is 25 cents PEI

Oil mills and dealers say they cal
not stand these rates, and the purchase
of some seed is being held up, waiting
to see what the railroad commission i!
going to do about it. Commissioner
Webb says the matter will be taken III

REWARD is
Will Pay $500 for Capture Of the Stay
err of Merrill.

Jackson. AT the request of the Me
ridian authorities, Governor Noel has
offered a reward of 5000 for the ares
and conviction of the unknown party
or parties who killed John p. Merrill.
a prominent druggist, in that city.
Merrill was found dead in bed il
his room at that hosiery, and, whilo
his clothing had been plundered and
all valuables removed. the Meridian
police do not believe that robbery was
the motive for the crime; that there
is a mystery connected with the case,
but thus far they have not developed
, any tangible clues for its solution.
Citizens of Meridian are raising an
additional reward fund for the capture
OF the murderer. Inc Southern Hote'
offers 5000, and contributions from
other citizens, together with the re
ward offered by the governor. bring the
total up to over 500.

Special Correspondent at Jackson.
AN UNNECESSARY ALARM.
viii Be No Big Advance in Price OF
Fertilizers.

Observation-Disclosures farmers who
are large buyerys of fertilizers have
been unnecessarily agitated for sew
eral weeks past by rumors that have
reached them through circulars ana
otherwise that there is to be a big ad'
vance in the prices for all kinds OF
fertilizers. and that the year OF 1911
Will fird them in the hands of a giant
monopoly supported by a great govern
ment; that they will be bled to the
limit on their fertilizer bills, and that
hey can find no relief because the gov
eminent of Germany has decreed that
all of the potash that enters into the
manufacture of fertilizers, SO per cent.
of which comes from Germany, must
pay an immense export duty before IL
will be allowed to leave that country.
There have been stories in the papers
10 the effect that the emperor OF Ger
many and his official following, TO-
gether with the private owners OF all
the potash mines, have decreed thai
American fertilizer makers must pay
exorbitant rates for potash.
Insofar as the manufacturing plants
in Mississippi are concerned, the
threatened advance will not material
ize. 1t is barely possible that there
may be slight increases in certain
grades. but not of the alarming char
acter that the New York circulars
would indicate.

FIGHT FOR NORMAL SCHOOL.
Hattiesourg Given Further Time IL
Which to Raise $3.50, 900.

Hattiesburg.-The trustees of the
State Normal School held a meeting
with all members present except Kim
brough and Smith, and the question of
granting further time than December
Z to get the $250,OOO in hand, was the
important point raised and Laurel and
Jones counties sent in a protest against
further time being granted, claiming
that the failure of Hattiesburg to de-
liver by December Z, as originally
agreed upon. forfeited her righs to
further consideration and gives Laurel
the location by default.
Mayor Donald in a brief speech set
forth the fact that Hattiesburg and For.
rest county have done all in their pow
er to issue and have ready the money
by December Z, and that delay is due
to the failure Of the supreme court to
act on the legality and constitutional
ity of the law establishing the normal
school.
The motion granting Hattiesburg
and Forrest county thirty days after a
decision of the supreme court is given
to get the money in hand was passed.
1t developed that attorneys of Jack
son have been employed and have
given briefs to the supreme court,
which has caused the delay. The ques-
ton of location then came up, and on
motion action on this point was again
deferred until the money is secured.

BOOSTS CATTLE RAISING.
Capt. }. F. Merry Issues a Very Inter-
esting Bulletin.

Jackson.-The possibilities of the
lyie stock industry or the south, and
specially in Mississippi, are strikingly
set forth in a bulletin issued by Capt. j.
f. Merry, immigration agent of the ILL
nois Central System.
II is doubtful if there is a man In
America who is more thoroughly ac-
4uainted with the south and its indus
tries, resources and possibilities thar
Capt. Merry, and in his discussion OF
the live stock industry he shows that
he has been giving the subject very
borough study and personal invcstiga-
ion. He expresses the firm belief that
he south. by reason of climate, water
and luxuriant forage crops, is destined
20 become the greatest cattle raising
lection of the United States.
In setting forth the various phases
Of the industry Capt. Merry describes
some of the recent notable agricultural
achievements in Mississippi, especially
in the production of alfalfa, corn and
other splendid dairy and beef herds on
| various farms and plantations in Mis-
| sissippi, and by citing actual figures he
reveals the net profit that stockmen
| have realized from the industry in
Mississippi and Louisiana. OF special
interest are the scenes from the great
alfalfa fields in northeast Mississippi,
which average from three to five cut
'ings per season, with an average OF
one ton per acre at each cutting.

DEMAND BETTER RATES.
All Railroads Are Cited to Appear Be-
fore Commission.

decentralization John A. Webb
of the Mississippi Railroad Commits
sion has cited all railroads in the state
tC appear at the next meeting OF the
commission for a conference on the
proposed peanut rates. The peanut in
dustry looks promising for Mississippi
next year. and planters and others In
terested want q better rate.
Heretofore there has been no cause
for fixing a rate on this commodity
and. under existing tariffs, the rate
from Jackson to Mendenhall for a car
of peanuts is 25 cents, which is con
sidered too high. In less than car loae
lots the rate is even high, and the
farmer could not produce peanuts at Il
profit with such rates.
Recently a nan living at Mendenhall
ordered a car of peanuts from Monroe
La, and after reaching Jackson the
rate to the point of destination was 20
cents IA hundred. With so many farm.
ers going in for peanut culture, a low
err rate is necessary. The rate on cot
ton seed from Jackson to Mendennall
is about Z cents, and while Presideui
Webb is not discussing the matter in
advance of the conference, it is be
lieved he regards this as a just rate for
peanuts.
1t is not believed the railroads vii,
raise any objection to making a goo
tate on this product, as thes have al
ways co-operated with the commission
in similar matters, where the interests
of the farmer were to be conserved.
