he evident need of some system.
&hAkeby uniformity IN equalization
Of property valuations. as returned
BY tax assessors. can be obtained
|is being furnished just at the pres
lent time. the evidence being IN the
Shape of assessment rolls. which
are being turned into the auditors s
Office BY county officers. There
were received by express today such
rolls from two counties Prentiss
and Sharkey representing distinct.
|ly different sections of the State,
the one being pronounced hill
country. with it's preponderance of
washed-out hillsides. the other rep
resenting the heart Of the Delta.
Taking one item included under
the column for showing the number
and valuation of mules, this point
finds illustration. The Prentiss
county assessor returned a total Of
u, 745 mules subject to assessment,
which are valued at $247. $50, an
average of about $50 per mule.
In Sharkey there are shown to be
g, ,069 mules, or 322 more than were
found in Prentiss, valued at $l53,
070. or an averaeg of S49. 90 each
While there are all sorts and condi-
tions of mules. whose valuation
runs along on an average rather
higher than $50 each. it is hard to
account for the great disparity in
values as the figures from the two
counties quoted from show.
This is one of the strong points
showing the need Of some system
Of equalization, and quite bears out
the arguments recently outlined by
Judge j. A. P. Campbell. that
there should be central state
equalization board, whose province
| it would be to pass upon and. under
system to be devised. adjust such
disparities in return as the case in
point demonstrates.
The returns from the two COM
ties mentioned also demonstrate
quite conclusively the racial differ
entiation existing. Prentiss county
is not only in the high belt. but the
white belt, as her assessor returns
6.l60 polls assessed, of whom 5 ,276
are white and 884 are negroes. On
the other hand. Sharkey which is as
strong in black population as it is
rich in alIuviaI land, returns 1881
polls, of whom 2.972 are negroes
and 400 white persons. This is not
a. difference. however, that would
be capable of practical equalization
by an official revision board. and
the ratio is likely to be maintained
for some time to come.
The total valuation Of all person
atty in Prentiss county, as return
ed. is 1892. .781; that for Sharkey
was 1898, $40, a difference which is
of itself suggestive. Prentiss
county reports money invested in
Imerchanise to be $244. AGO, and
money employed in manufacturers
$50, $50; Sharkey returns as employ
ed in merchandise $92, 900, and in
manufacturing $l1. 800.

WHISTLER AND MOORE.
Two Versions Of the Famous GAMING
Incident at Drury Lane.

Two Versions Of the Famous Gaming
Incident At prury Lane.
1t was in his capacity as editor 0:
the Hawk that the late Augustus
Moore. a journalist and playwright of
no little notoriety, enacted an unre-
hearsed comedy with Whistler that
created no end Of sensation at the
time. 1t happened In the vestibule Of
Drury Lane on the first night Of the
production Of "A Million Of Money"
Whistler, it appeared, had been an
noyed at sundry references to himself
In the Hawk and, coming up to Gus
Moore, who was calmly smoking
cigarette, struck him across the face
with a cane. A struggle followed, and,
although opinions varied as to the &C.
tual course Of the conflict, there was
no doubt about Whistler having ulti-
mately to pick himself up from the
door.
Each of the protagonists afterward
gave his version Of the incident II
started out" said Whistler, Ito cane
this fellow with as little emotion as I
would prepare to kill rat. did cane
him to the satisfaction Of my many
friends and his many enemies, and
that was the end Of it." II am sorry"
wrote Mr.. Moore for his part. but
have had to slap Mr.. Whistler. My
Irish blood got the better Of me, and
before / knew it the shriveled up little
monkey was knocked over and kick
ing about on the floor"
The notion. however. that he was
knocked down was characterized by
Whistler as "a barefaced falsehood."
He contended that Mr.. Moore never
touched him. II am sure" he added,
II don't know why. for he is a much
bigger man than l. My idea Is that
he was thoroughly cowed by the
moral force Of my attack. I had to
turn him around in order to get at
him. Then I cut him again and again
az hard as could. Kissing out Hawk!
with each stroke. Oh. you can take
my word for 1t, everything was done
in the cleanest and most correct fash
ion possible. I always Ike to do
things cleanly."-New York Tribune.

CARRYING PIG IRON.
The Way Scientific Study increased
Results and Wages.

No work seems more simple, more
unlikely to be subject to scientific
study, than the art Of carrying pig
iron. This, however, has been sub
1ected to the most careful scientific
study. Men at Bethlehem, Pa. were
loading pig iron on cars at the rate Of
about twelve tons day. Certain pig
handlers were given extra wages for
doing this work under special djrec-
ton. An attempt was made to ascer-
tain the relation between the amount
of horsepower which each man exert
ed and the fatigue which he incurred.
Long continued experiment furnished
q vast amount Of Information, but ap-
parently no law. Finally F.. W. Tay-
lor, who was conducting the expert
ments, handed the data over to an
associate who was apt at mathemati-
cal problems. Very soon he reported
that he had discovered the law-that
fatigue varied in proportion to q Ger
tain relation between the amount OF
load and the period Of rest-for exam
pie, a man carrying a ninety'two pound
pig had, in order to avoid fatigue, to
be at rest IS per cent OF the time. The
discovery of this law involved a great
amount Of data, including certain phys
biological facts concerning the poison
Gus effects Of waste tissue upon the
blood and di6icult mathematic formQ-
Ia, Including the plotting Of curves.
Az a result the pig handlers were d.
rected exactly how to lift and carry
their loads and when to rest, and the
amount Of pig iron handled BY each
man every day increased from twelve
and q half tons to forU-seven. OF
course the men received q great ad-
vance in wages.-Ernest Hamlin Ab'

Blast Furnace to Begin Operation

Gadsden, October 27.-(Special.)-Th big blast furnace of the Southern Iron and Steel company is to be put In commits sion some time next week. The furnace has been idle for a long time because needed repairs were being made and also because there was an abundance of raw material on hand for the finishing mills The starting of the furnace will call for a resumption of operations at the Crudup mines, which have also been idle for some time. The operating of these de- partments of the big industry will put something like a thousand men to work who have been out of employment and should stimulate things considerably In the district It is also said that the finishing mill which has been running on short shifts, will put on a full force. and if this is done all the available labor will soon be employed and demand ere ated for more men than the district can supply until more are brought here from other fields
