Macon Post Office

Mr.. Howard Scales, the post
master at Macon, is having seventy
five new lock boxes put in the
post Office, a need created by the
growing business of the Office.
The gain in business in 1910 "was
something over ten per cent, and
Macon now lacks only about $500
yearly receipts of becoming a post
office of the secOud class. Macon
in a business way is surely grow
ing. The post Office, the banks,
the express office and the railroad
office all show this in a marked de-
gree. Possibly the census returns
will too, if not in numbers, in
quality.

Charlie Clay to Leave Macon

MI. Charles G. Clay has become
largely interested in lands at De-
mopoIis, Alabama, and in the
course of few weeks will locate
there. His large real estate inter
ests here, however, will bring him
back often, and the real estate
firm of Clay & Yates will continue
in business. Mr.. Sam Bufkin, an
experienced real estate man, of
Indiana, with strong connections
there, will be associated in the
business here and will have charge
of the selling department.
In Mr.. Clay's removal Macon
and Noxubee County lose n of
their very best and most valuable
citizens. AS a farmer Mr.. Clay
was a distinguished success, but
he did much more than merely
grow things on land. His quick
intelligence was the first in the
county to really appreciate at it's
proper value the worth of alfalfa
to the county. He has done more
than anyone else to advertise the
natural wealth and resources Of
NOxubee County, and has brought
many investors here who have
purchased land, and has added
many desirable citizens to the
county. And while he has pros
percd as a result of his efforts in
this line, much of Mr.. Clay's ser
vices have been unselfsh and un-
selfshly performed. He is thor
Oughly public spirited and pro-
gressive and a most valuable man
to any community. DemOpolis is
to be congratulated on securing
such a citizen.

STYLES IN WOMEN SHIRTS

The 'hobble" has been displaced by
the tube" which is merely a very
narrow skirt from the hips down and
cut quite short. From present indica-

Ladies should be particularly inter-

behoOves them to look very carefully
to the selection of shoe styles. They
will demand stylish looking shoes, built
on lasts that present graceful outlines,

settled County. AS to Moneys, Cred
it's, etc." the assessors have made no
effort to reach this kind of property.
In reaching the figures placed in the
column Of "True value" I took the
number of votes cast at last spring
election in the several districts null
tlplied by five and place ten dollars
per capita, an amount which l believe
an inducement to the assessors to
place this valuation where it belongs.
However, I submit these figures for
your consideration. You may say it
is arbitrary; so Is the establishing Of
true value for the purpose of equity
and equalization Of all class of prop
erty in the county arbitrary.
The result of the assessment this
year shows an increase in all the dis
tricts except the Towns Atlanta,
Big Bend, Flambeau and Hawkins,
which is slightly lower, in total ass
essment of all property.
The total assessment value of real
and personal property in the county
shows an increase of S515,744 over
1908. an increase of $128,183 in the
city of Ladysmith, and 1887 ,558 in the
country and village districts My es-
Inmates of true value on all property
shows an increase of $1,155, 261 over
the same estimate for 1908.
The value of all property in the
county as fixed by local assessors is
$5,776, 059; as fixed by this office
7,960,173; an increase of $2,184,114.
have visited each assessment dis
trict once during the progress of as
sessing and several of them again la
ter, for the purpose of checking up
and obtaining other necessary infor-
nation.
In conversation with a number OF
assessors about incorrect assessments
they told me that they could do bet
ter work provided they received great
, er compensation. To this | will say
that an assessment district should
elect the proper men and pay the as
SCISSORS enough so that they can do
their work in a satisfactory manner.
On the other hand, if an assessor il
elected and qualities for that office, it
is his duty to fulfill such office accord
ing to law, whether his compensation
be large or small.
These statistical tables require con
siderable time and thought l have
endeavored to be fair and impartial tc
all the assessment districts in our
County, and this report is, I think,
nearer correct than any before.
In conclusion, l wish to thank the
members of the County Board, the sew
eral Assessors, and all those who have
assisted me in my work during the
year
Respectfully submitted, =.

800 Pounds of Lint Cotton
From One Acre.

To the Editor of The Dispatch:
For the benefit of the readers of The
Dispatch, give below how l worked
an acre Of cotton last year, 1910:
I have heen experimenting for sew
oral years, but not with the results L
had last year. I have learned that l.
does not pay to work large farm the
old way, with little help. Any farm,
er can make a good living on a few
acres if he will only take little pains,
and use good judgment.
Farmers, count your profit at one
half or one fourth bale per acre, and
see where you will be.
I picked $3.50 pounds seed cotton
from this acre. When ginned it made
900 pounds lint. I sold at AK cents
which brought S13o.50. Sold 45 BUSH
els of cotton seed at IS cents bushel,
which brought s20 25; total, s15o.75.
Fertilizers cost $4,000, cultivat;ng 81.
IS; hoeing $500; picking $3.50; haul
ing $500; total cost $54 25; clear profit
$3.50.
How cultivated: Feb. 16, laid off
rows AZ feet apart with shovel plow
and bedded mith turn plow, eight fur
rows eight inches deep.
April IA, drilled nine ore horse loads
of stable manure in furrow; 400 lbs.
acid, 1912 analysis, 200 lbs. cotton seed
meal, mixed I'D drilled in furrow;
with manure. Then I went twice with
butt torcue plow as deep as horse
could pull. an mixed we'll with soil,
manure, and fertilizer. Sided on with
double foot plow stock and bedded
with two furrows and planted same
day. I then cultivated cotton with
patent heel sweep every eight days,
two and three furrows to the row.
At fret plowing rather deep. but grad
ually cultivated more shallow as cotton
grew, until last time scarcely breaking
the crust, Last two plowings, plowed
every other middle three furrows every
four days, as it does not stunt cotton,
and make it throw off fruit.
June g., broadcast 100 pounds nj
trate of Soda before plowing.
June %, I drilled 200 pounds stand
ard guano and 100 pounds potash mix
ed, in scooter furrow, near cotton IN
every other middle, or once to row;
then plowed three burrows with sweep
to cover and mix with soil:
July 7, I put another application. OF
POO pounds standard guano in other
middle, near cotton same rs 5ef
Cultivate until cotton begins to lap IN
middle; last time with furrow in CEN
ter OF middle with large sweep.

PRAYS FOR TH|EF'S
 IMMORTAL SOUL

New York; February 26.--If the sneak thief who got away with a fine overcoat belonging to the ReV. John Lewis Clark, tional church of Brooklyn, has spark of decency he will not be able to resist the appeal of MT. Clark that has been issued to the press.
 Every possible inducement is held out by Mr. Clark to the erring man, and the pastor is anxiously awaiting the result of his unique method of trying to get his property back and to help the man to lead better life.
 Dr. Clarks letter, which is probably the only one of its kind ever written, Is ad- dressed "To the thief who stole my over coat" and runs as follows:
 If there be any honor among thieves, please return to me the church address book found in the pocket. and if you have pawned the coat, De kind enough to mail me the pawn ticket.
 If you still have the coat and will re- turn same with the address book, you will be more liberally rewarded than at a pawnshop, and no questions will be asked, unless about your immortal soul. I can show you a better way than by stealing. Remember Christs words to the penitent thief on the cross This day thou shalt be with Me in paradise.
 Notwithstanding your thieving propen- sities, I love you enough to pray with and for you, that you may attain unto this glorious salvation My only fear IS that as you are so depraved as to go into a church to steal, you would pick my pocket while prayed with you, but trust me to give you a square deal. l will trust you and give you helping hand to be a better man."

CAR WOULD HAVE
 GRAND DUKE WE'D

St. Petersburg, February 26.-(Special.)- Court gossip is that marriage has been arranged between Princes Olga, eldest daughter of the Czar, and her cousin, Dmitri Paulovitch, son of the Grand Duke Paul Paulovitch.
 The Princess Olga is not quite 16. Tho Grand Dukes son is 20, handsome and popular. He has just completed his mli- tary schooling and is about to enter the army.
 It is said, although the Czar throws the two together as much possible, the young man fails to take the hint
 The Grand Dukes son says he does not want to settle down yet. He thinks far moro about the battle than getting mar ried. He Is supported by the Dowager Empress, who said recently:
 Let the boy have his fling. Olga is young, she can wait. The lad will make much better husband if you let him have his fling first
 The Czar, who favors early marriages, replied:
 q want my daughters to marry men of my own choosing while they are yet children. This is not possible afterwards, as they then pick for themselves"

TEACH GIRLS HOW
 TOFARM AND VOTE

' New York, February 26.-Mrs. O. H. P. Belmont announced today that she would open within short time school for teaching girls to farm. A class of 20 fac tory girls-all suffragists-will be instruct ed in the art of agriculture upon Mrs. Belmont's 200 acres at Hampstead, l.. I. Truck farming will be the speciality, and when the young women have gathered their crops they will drive to the city and learn how to sell them.
 All this and more is in Mrs. Belmont's s plan, which she declares is the beginning 'of social revolution which will make woman mans peer in all lines of en- Geavpr. According to present plans, the young women will be taught how to plough fields SOW seeds, bed down horses, feed pigs, milk cows. make butter, rake hay and raise chickens. Not man will bo, on the premises. H
 The girls will receive wages while learn ing. It Is intended to, make the place self supporting and ultimately to enlarge the class. Mrs. Belmont also announced that she was working on the details of g 10 enable her "farmerettes' to become owners of tiny farms from a half acre up.
 Back of the whole scheme Mrs. Belmont declares is the movement toe win con- yerts to her "votes for women creed.
 ITO be good farmer Is only another way of working out the votes for women problem" she says. ''The more that women come to be owners of land, the makers of homes that are real homes, the more they will insist on having the ballot to protect what is theirs"

ACTION
 DELIGHTS JAPAN
AMBASSADOR O'BRIEN AND COUNT KOMURA EXCHANGE CONGRATULATIONS AND THE PUBLIC IS DEEPLY STIRRED

Tokio, February 26. - Ambassodar O'Brien and Count Komura, the Japanese foreign secretary, have exchanged con gratulations on the notifications of the treaty between the United States and Japan. There are not lacking evidences that the highest officials and the entire press of this country, as well as the gen. eral public, are deeply stirred by the early acceptance by the American gov- ernment of Japans assurances that 1t de- sires continuation of friendly relations which have always existed, and by ths confidence shown by the administration at Washington in the sincerity of Japan's undertakings regarding emigration.
 On all hands and among every class sat- isfaction and even gratitude is warmly eX- pressed. The effect of the ratification of the treaty on the situation with regard trade and commerce is well marked already. The government and commercial bodies are preparing to take thoroughly representative part in the exposition to be held in celebration of the opening of the Panama canal. This undoubtedly will be the largest scale on which Japan has ever been represented abroad.
 Al lthe newspapers print editorials ex- pressing the opinions of statesmen, bank CTS and leaders of thought who are unan- imous in regarding the ratification as one of the greatest events in the history of the country, and that 1t has undoubted- ly strengthened the position of Count Katsura, the premier; Count Komura and the government generally.

JUDGE CONDEMNS l EDUCATIONAL TEST


 Baltimore, Md, February 26-Plans for restricting immigration by eduea- tfonal tests were condemned by Judge Leon Sanders of New York, head of the Independent Order of B'Rth Abra- ham. in an address here today.
 "If these restrictions are put in force," said Judge Sanders. "it will mean that, only five per cent of the Jews in Russia and Roumania, where opportunities for education are with held from our people, will be able to enter the United States.
 "The other 95 per cent will be sub jected to the cruelest persecution and there will be nowhere for them to flee.
 Heretofore the fury of the perse- cution has been tempered by the exo- dus of the Jews from the countries where they suffered it."

YOUNG MAN, GET
 MARR|ED-ED|SON

New York, February 26.-(Special. JAS soon as a young man is In a position to support a wife and can get the right girl to accept him, he should marry" This is the opinion of Thomas A. Edison, the great inventor as expressed on the twen- ty-fifth anniversary of his own wedding, which he has just celebrated.
 Yes" continued MT Edison, "a man does not take his proper place in society until he is married. The responsibilities of family steady him and tends to bring out the best there is in him.
 This presupposes that the union is ce- mented by love. There is no other sure foundation for a happy marriage.
 What do consider the minimum in- come on which young man should marry?
 That would be impossible to say. It depends on so many thing that no hard and fast rule can be laid down. What might be an amply adequate sum for one couple would be grossly inadequate for another. With a man and woman truly in love with each other, ready and willing to work together,4- comparatively little money is needed with which to begin building a happy home.
 Most marriages are happy and success ful, believe, despite the talk of the prevalence of divorce.
 "It is the natural condition What is natural is right and conduces to happi- ness.'
