 Taxable Values In Texas
 Texas, the largest state in area in the union. has total taxable value of it's organized counties of s2.3s1. .1Os, ,7s5, an in- crease of $s1, ,3OS, ,1s9. The value of the un- organized counties is $3,155. 4s7 The land increased in value $23.0oo, 900. Some inter- esting and commemorative facts are shown in the annual report of the comptroller of state sumbitted to Governor Campbell.
 Due to the abandonment of the large cattle ranches in favor of farming, the number of cattle decreased, as did all other classes of live stock except horses. decreased in number during the year, but increased fn value. The falling off by nearly 5000 in number is not understood, as the general impression has been that the number of power a>d other vehicles, especially automobiles. increased in Texas

MUNICIPAL FIGHT IS
 BITTER IN JACKSON

Jackson, Miss. December &-(Special) The retiring board of mayor and alder men held their final meeting today and stirred up the biggest political row Jack son ever experienced. Six of the newly elected aldermen who are against the present administration recently held a caucus at which they selected their friends to fill minor offices. To offset this the old board parsed ordinances to- day delegating to Mayor Crowder author ity to appoint minor officers for the new board, and to mako doubly sure secured an injunction to prevent one of the new aldermen, Charles Bev1ns, from taking his seat.
 The writ was granted by Chief Justice Waves and made returnahle before Chan cellor Lyeil the first Monday in January. This may tie Bevins up until after the new board indorses the action of the mayor preventing the defeat of his veto and thus defeating the will of the ma jority of the new aldermen.
 It is not believed the coup will stand the test of the courts, and the opposition to the mayor has secured attorneys to fight the injunction and the ordinances passed by the old board to bitter end.

 Achieved Wonders
 Despite all the disadvantages under which we have labored, despite much of the unwise agitation of all kinds of the last 10 or F years, agitations which have created false impressions about the south, this section has achieved wonders about which 1t may well boast. Some times we have talked about being too poor to develop our educational facilities, and yet the south is now spending for common school education largely over So0,0O00O0 a year against s23,000,000 as the total amount thus expended by the United States in 1860, when the population of the country exceeded by 100000 the popula- ton of the south at present. In it's cotton mills this section has twice as many spindles as the United States had In 1S60. It is making three and half times as much pig iron as the United States then made Last year it produced almost as much grain as the whole country raised in 1860, and it's total farm products ex- ceeded by s90O,oO0, 900 the value of the ag- ricultural output of the United States at that time. We have two and one-thlrd times as much railroad mileage ana SIX times as much in bank deposits as the country had in 1860. In brief the story may be presented thus:
 Cotton spindles in the south. 1910, It, 1o500O; In United States, 1860, 5.zSo. 'z''
 Pig iron in the south, 1910, 3,2oO'ooo tons' in Tinted States, 1S6o sS7,000 tons.
 Grain In the south, 1910. l073,ooo,Vu busbels: in United States, 1860, 1,174,OOo,ooo bushels. .,,
 Value of farm products in the south 1910, k. s5O.OoO 900; in United States, 1860, s1, ,750, 900 900. oo.
 Railroad mileage in south, 1910, 7o'oo' in United States, 1860, a,000.
 Bank deposits in south, 1910, $1, AGO 0oo,Voo' in United States, 1860, 2o4,00O,Op.
 Common school expenditures Tn tne south, 1910, $55.O0000o; in United states 1S60 $23, 100000.
 With millions of acres of fertile lands awaiting the blow, with billions or tons of coal. iron ore, phosphate rock sulphur and other minerals to be taken from the earth. with opportunities for enterprise and energy unsurpassed on earth, the south ought to achieve more than any other section By it's achievement |. ought to draw all the people ana all the money from elsewhere that can ma profitable employment for the gooo or tne south. and the profit of the investor and inc homeseeker. We have country or boundless possibilities. Considering our uneoualled resources we are not now ever. achieving one-half as much as it is in our power to do. If we do not make the most of the situation 1t Is our fault- Opportunity is knocking at our door. we shall have no one to blame but ourseNes if we fail to open 1t.
