BIG RALLY AT YAZOO CITY.
W.. n. Smith and Miss Susie Powell
Talk of Improved Conditions.

Yazoo City.-Teachers, patrons and
corn club boys filled the auditorium
of the school building to listen to the
address of w. H. Smith and Miss Susie
Powell.
w. H. Smith, rural high school su-
pervisor for Mississippi, spoke OF the
relation Of rural schools to the indus
trial, social and economic life of the
community. He said all wealth in its
last analysis comes from the soil; that
the hand that feeds the world ought
TO extract more of the comforts of life
as a reward for the labor; that every
farmer ought to be able TO use his
head in the game with his hand; that
the environment of the child, includ-
ing the soil, the crops, domestic and
wild animal life of the community
ought to contribute to his education.
That every country school plant should
have a school garden, a demonstration
plant and should express something
of the life of the community. He
spoke also of the fact that the boys
corn club work in the state had dem
onstrated beyond a doubt hat Missis-
SlppI Is d COlu SldlS, anu II Is IdSI
awakening to a realization Of the
riches of its soil. He believes that
better homes, better schools, better
roads, improved farming implements,
can be grown out of Mississippi soil,
and that the development of our la
tent through the boys will
develop the manhood and character of
the boys as nothing else Will.
Miss Susie Powell spoke on the sub
ject of improved school conditions for
Mississippi. She said that the occa-
sion was appropriate for such an ad-
dress, since the Yazoo City school IS
the epitome of school improvement,
with it's beautiful, we'll equipped build
ing and the premises lovely with grass
and bright flowers.
Indifference, ignorance and partisan
ship were mentioned as the three OBJ
stacles in the w of Improvement.
These obstacles can only be overcome
by the weapons of interest, education
and civic pride, in the hands of the SUI
perintendents, teachers, patrons and
pupils.
The bad conditions in some of our
schools are due not to lack of money,
but to lack of interest,"; not to low
finance, out to low educational ideals.
AS long as the people think the
schools are good enough, no effort will
be made to improve them,' she said.

$4,000 FIRE AT MERIDIAN.
Fertilizer company's Oil Factory De-
stroyed.

Meridian.-The oil department, an
immense structure of the Meridian
fertilizer factory, was destroyed by
fire. The fire originated in the hull
room, and as the company's plant is
some distance south OF the main part
of the city, it was not connected with
the city works, having its w water
supply and fire-fighting apparatus.
The oil mill was a total loss, unless
a portion of the machinery is found
to be useful, and something saved
from the salvage of the %cottonseed
and hulls.
Thirty thousand gallons of oil were
lost and an immense quantity Of seed
and hubs. The fertilizer plant n
chemical department were not de-
stroyed. 1t is impossible at this time
to figure the loss, but it is estimated
at approximately $4,000.

Dol was the victor in the most per-
ilous and spectacular aeroplant race
known to the annals of aviation.

What makes Moisant's victory one
of the most extraordinary aerial feats
ever performed is the fact that he
flew in a machine which he had never
driven before and which he had pur.
chased only ten minutes before he
set out on his wonderful cross-country
journey. And what is considered more

that the dauntless little sailor steered

Mr.. T. w. Fincher, of Gloster, says
the peanut growers of Amite and Will
kinsOn counties are clearing $40 net
as a general average from the sale of
peanuts and some are receiving as
high as SIS an acre. The farmers
have a machine for gathering the pea
nuts, which costs ten cents a bushel
to gather, and the hay from same Is
sold for SIS per ton.
The peanut industry was started by
Mr.. G. H. Barney, a local oil man, who
had considerable capital invested, and
as cotton could not be raised on &C
count of the boil weevil, he sOOn saw
that his investment would fall into de-
cay and conceived the idea of induc-
ing the planters to plant peanuts. Mr..
Barney ordered two cars of the nuts
and sold them at a low figure to the
planters, and they AVE raised bOuntt-
full crops which they are selling now
for 81 per bushel. The hull and nut is
ground together, which produces a
very fine grade of oil hat brings not
only a good price, but is said to be
even better han cotton seed oil, and
it only has to be filtered instead of
having to be refined like cotton oil.

RAISE VALUES; DECREASE LEVY.
Supervisor Wilson Wants Uniformity
of Assessment in All Counties.

Jacksonville Mississippi S%upervis-
ors' Association wants tax values
equalized, and a campaign Is to be
waGed in every county for a better
system of valuation and taxation. The
agitation was started by Secretary
Wilson Of the association, from De-
Soto county, who thinks there should
be a more just assessment.
Mr.. Wilson figures that the banks
and corporations are given the worst
of it in practically every county in
the stae-not because the supervisors
intend to be unfair, but because they
do not realize the situation. Person
atty is assessed practically at it's full
value, yet land is not assessed at
more than one-third, and generally at
about one-fourth Of it value.
That the farmer does not intend to
be unjust to any one when serving
as a supervisor, is shown by the fact
that he places his own personally at
about its true value, yet his lands,
with those of others, it not valued at
anything like it's worth. With city
property, in some instances, at least,
IL Is u1lISI 0LC, DIS Tie municipal prop
erty in taxes.
By ~equalizing the assessment val
ues, it is believed each county in the
state will be self-supporting, at least,
which it is not at preesnt. There
are several counties that draw out
more money than they pay into the
state treasury. This applies to the
school funds and pensions.
In South Mississippi land values are
more nearly equal to the personal as
sessments han in any other part of
the state. The finest Delta land, in
some counties, is assessed at So to
$40 an acre, yet every one is required
to pay practically full value on per-
sonalty. Bank stock and deposits pay
full value, but land owners do not
and it is Mr.. Wilson's idea to place
personally and realty on as near a
parity as to assessment values as pos
sible.
He believes it would be better for
the state, in a financial way, to assess
all property at practically it's face
value and reduce the tax rate than
to place the valuation low and the
tax levy high. There is not any
inducement for capital to come into
Mississippi under existing conditions,
he pointed out, while it is known that
many persons who have idle money
in this state either invest or deposit
it in other states where the taxes are
lower.

PENSION ~APPoRTIoNMENT.
Old Soldiers in the Prorate Glass
Viii Get $37.55 Eeach.

Jacksonville auditors department
has about completed the p~rOrating of
the pension fund. The sum that will
be allotted to each county has not yet
been figured out, but it is known what
each one entitled TO share in the
states generosity will get.
There are six classes of pensioners
designated on the states rolls, three
of which get stated amounts, while
the remaining three classes have ap-
portioned among them what remains
Of the fund after these preferred
classes are provided for.
The last Legislature placed the ap-
preparation for the benefit of the sur
vivers in the Confederate ranks enti-
tied to draw pensions at $400, 900, this
being an increase Of 100000 yer
that of the previous apportionment.
The classes are divided as follows:
No. 1, preferred class, embraces
those who have lost two legs or two
arms or are totally blind, and to these
disabled soldiers the sum of S125 is
allowed.
No. 2, preferred class, embraces
those who havd lost one leg, one
arm or are partially blind, and these
receive SIS.
No. 3 embraces the blind widows of
Confederate soldiers who were mar
ried to them previous to 1885, and to
these the sum of So is allowed.
The other three classes are desig-
mated as prorate classes, and as work
ed out by the auditors ofce, each will
receive the sum Of $37.55. These
classes embrace INDECENT soldiers or
sailors, their widows and servants.
In all the classes the benefciaries
must have received their injuries, or
seen active duty in the Confederate
service, except, of course, the widows,
Besides this fund appropriated for
the old soldiers and sailors, their SER
wants and widows, the state main
tains a home at Beauvoir, where, II
they prefer, they can be cared for dur
ing their remaining years, but of
course those who accept the pensions
are not eligible for that charity while
drawing these benefits.

scarcely realizes that he has contributed to
an industry that last year farn1ed 100000
crop. ana which placed on the market in
various forms reached the enormous sum of
$50, 200 900, But II is a factl
This little seductive nut-a resolution to
"eat just one is soon forgotten-whose
birthplace is America, was, until compar-
ativeiy recently, unappreciated either as to
the money In them" or as a really nutri-
tious product. Today the peanut plays an
important part In pleasure. from the swell
dinner party TO the ever-present democracy
Of the circus, bali game, or picnic. After
all, what Is ball game, picnic, or a
circus without the peanut accompaniment?
BY far the largest part of tho crop Is
consumed from the peanut stand, the little
whistle-sisn OF the roaster being the signal
for the average youngster to suggest to dad
or ma that some OF them would be very
acceptable, and the paternal or maternal
parents willingness-nine times out-of ten

that go to the fattening OF hogs throughout
the south, the feeding of poultry, while the

is nourished by tho roots of the plant,
which furnishes nitrogen to 1t from the air
The result OF all this is that scientists
claim that the peanut, which in the past
was not very highly regarded, is the only
food staple that will at once nourish man,
beast, bird and fields. 1t is the most
nutritious Of the entire nut family, rich
in tissue building properties. containing
glucose and carhohydrates-and is the
cheapest. Beyond the shadow of a doubt
it is first from both a dietary and, eco

The fact OF the matter is the peanut in
about every way is in a class by itself
as regards price, average number in pound,
edible part, waste and fat. They average
about $50 to a pound at a cost Of 10 cents
the edible portion IL, 7SS, waste 2e.4. and
the amount of fat is placed at 80 per cent
These are remarkable figures when one
