In August. 1910, the capital and surplus
OF the trust company was slightly impaired
because some state and city bonds had
just been sold To buy other municipal bonds
paying a higher rate OF interest. The lat
ter bonds had been Immediately bought
with the proceeds. but had not been deliv-

DOGS MUST BE ASSESSED.
Owners Will Be Guilty of Misdemeanoi
for Harboring CANNES.

/ Jackson.-All Mississippians who own
dogs must return them for assessment
this year or they will be liable to fine
for it will be a misdemeanor to have
keep or harbor q dog, unless one has pail
the dog tax, as required by an act of TIN,
Legislature of 1910.
I 1t is estimated that there arc mors
dogs in Mississippi than children, and
this statement is made by men who
have, more or less, studied the qucs-
ton, and if all dogs are returned for
taxation and the tax paid, the school
fund of each county will be consider
ably increased
There were no less than a dozen bills
introduced at the last session of the legi:-
lature to put tax on dogs. Sentiment
was so strong in this direction that the
legislature had to enact law of some
kind, and the one passed is rather
stringent. The dogs escaped taxation
in 1910, because the act did not become
effective till the property assessment had
been made, but all dog owners must re.
turn their canine for taxation the same
as other property this year, when
means the various counties of the state
will collect total of over $1,000 900
dog tax, if the law is rigidly enforced.
1t is optional with the county super
visors whether the law is enforced but
most of them will impose the tax voluu-
tarily, whole others viii be potitioned to
levy the tax, and if they do not then
an election can be called on the question
of collecting a tax on dogs.

TIGERS ARE HIT HARD.
Judge Miller Imposes $4,000 in Fines
Against Them.

Jackson.-The blind tigers are prac-
tically paying the costs of the courts
of many counties in Mississippi. That
was the case at the last term of the
Kinds circuit court, while the same
program was followed at the recent term
of Madison court, and now comes Lin
coin with the largest total fines for UNI
lawful retailing i'll the history of the
state.
About $1,000 in fines was paid for
violations of the prohibition law at the
last term of Kinds circuit court, while
about $1,000 in fines was imposed on
offenders at Canton, which betrayed more
than one-half the expenses of these
courts, while the fines collected at the
recent term of Lincoln circuit court ?
little more than paid for the session.
This shows the prohibition law is be-
ing enforced as well as it is possible for
it to be- and that the judges are giving
short shift to violators. Judge Miller
had number of convictions at the
Lincoln court, and reports from there
are that he struck terror to the hearts
of violators of the law.

STATE UNFAIR TO MAGISTRATES.
Mississippi Attorney-General Admits the
Condition.

Jackson.-Ellis B. Cooper, attorney of
judicial department of the state the
question OF equalizing the compensations
of justices of the peace and Of con-
stables. This is especially so when it
pertains to the rightful compensation
OF justice of the peace in investiga-
tions into misdemeanors or alleged
crimes wherein the state fails to make
out its case. The drift of Mr.. Cooper S
inquiry is explained in the reply sub
mitted by Acknowledgement Hudson,
which is in part as follows:
"There is no question but that the
legislature either Intentionally or unin-
tentionally, has been partial to the CON
stables and marshals as against the JUS
tees of the peace in their costs, far the
reason that the justice of the peace can
only get the $50, or as much thereof as
he may have earned by being a conserv-
ator of the peace, and in examination
of persons charged with felony, on a
detailed fee bill, properly itemized and
sworn to. Yet the constabes and mar
shals, for the same service, may have pay
fer serving all warrants and other pro-
cesses, and for attending all trials in
state cases in which the state fails in
the prosecution, and on detailed fee
bill properly itemized and sworn to the
board of supervisors may allow such of
fceFo the $50 or any amount, within that
amount, TO which they are entitled UNI
der the paragraph.

JACKSON FINANCIAL CENTER.

jackson is now the chief financial
center of Mississippi. This city has

years at tremendous rate in the inan-
cial world till it outranks both Meridian
and Nicksburg, which cities have always

posits and clearings till recently.
jackson, on the first day of the new

posits, as compared with previous years,
surprising even Vicksburg, which had,
for years, been the financial center OF
the state, in that its bank deposits eX-
coed those of any other city in the
state.
But during the past year jackson took
the lead from Nicksburg in this respect,
going little over the $5,000,000 mark,
outranking the Mound City by nearly

Style Of Street Letter Box Changed

concealing the time when the next
collection is to be made.
-Four things have been taken into
consideration in trying to adopt de-
sign for a new street letter box. The
first is that Of economy of time for
the collector. Instead of having to
open the box from the side and re-
move the contents by handfuls, the
department wants a box that will
open and discharge its contents into
a sack with single operation.
In searching for this the question of
the artistic appearance of the box has
by no means been overlooked. II a
new box is to be adopted, the postal
authorities are determined that it
shall combine as much grace and
beauty in its appearance as it is pos
sible to give such a unitarian object
An indestructible time card and an
automatic indicator that will show the
time at which the next collection is to
be made are the two other points
that have been given consideration.
tomato indicator works satisfac-
tory, but the experiments thus far
made by the postofIice department
have not developed an automatic de-
vice sufficiently trustworthy, to put in
to use on the street letter boxes.

SIGHT PRosTaATEa WIFE.

:. Faithful Dog
Louisville.-Lcd to the scene by her
husbands faithful dos, Mrs. Pascal
Scott, wife of a wealthy planter, living
six miles from here, discovered the
lifeless body of her husband crushed
beneath a monster forest tree he had
just felled.
1t appears that Mr.. Scott was clear
ing off a piece Of new ground when he
had occasion to cut down several large
trees. In falling the first tree lodsed
in another, and in cutting the tree taat
supported the lodged one the latter f1ll
in different direc ion from what he
expected. In endoayoring to find a
place of safety he no doubt became
excited and ran under the falling tree
and was pinned to the ground, his
body being crushed into an unshapely
mass.
Late in the afternoon the dog owned
by Mi. Scott appeared at the house
and pulling Mrs. Gcott's dress ran re.
peatedly back and forth toward the
woods lot. The wife, already uneasy
at her husbands absence, followed the
dog finally and was led to the mangled
form of her husband crushed beneath
the forest monster.
So overcome was she by the sight
that it was with difficulty she dragged
herself back to the house and raised
the alarm.

BEAT HIS CHILD TO DEATH.
Record in James Tate Case Shows
Brutal Nur6er.

Brutal IIuIOcl.
Jacksonville record in the case Of
James Tate, a negro convicted Of muir
der in DeSoto county last year, brings
to light one of the most brutal crimes
ever committed in the state Of Missis-
sippi. Tate, On conviction OF the crime,
was sentenced to hang, and his attorney
appealed the case to the supreme court.
Tate, according to the evidence, mar
ried a woman with child about three
years old. This child was a pet aversion
of Tate's, it seems, and. not caring to
go to church one Sunday morning, he
spent the entire forenoon beating and
kicking the child, till it died.
Tate whipped the child with a strap
till he was tired. He then kicked it a
few times, took a rest and whipped it
again, administering several kicks to the
child. 1t became unconscious from the
brutal treatment it received at the hands
Of its step-father, and was left lying in
the yard. Fearing to so near him, tho
child crawled out into fence corner,
whore it lay for some time, but Tate
looked it up and again beat it.
At another time the child tried to
crawl into The house, but Tate kicked
it out Of the door. This process was
kept up for several hours, the child
finally dying from It's injuries.

A Fleet Of acroplanes for the United

then it would have q splendid chance
Of remaining in the bill in conference,

TEE FLYER THAT NEVER HALTs
But Keeps Going Steadily Without
Body or Wings or Wheels.

bOuy OF wings or WneelS.
THE only flying thing that new
er breaks down. said the man with
frost in his hair, sis the one COM
monty known as Time; nothing ever
the matter with that; it flies stead
lily with never a stop.
Other flying things that we know
of burst their carbureters, or bend
their shafts, or break their propel-
lers, or get out of gasolene, or they
bend their wings or blow up or burn,
or there's something the matter with
them so that they can't be kept fly
ing, but the flying thing called Time
keeps right along without requiring
even any oil on it's bearings, the one
and only perpetual motion, which
nothing can stop. 1t never speeds,
it keeps going always at the same
steady uniform gait, whether on the
earth or in the air, but it never
stops, and so, soon or late, it leaves
men and all their works behind.
I'D like it if l could help the fly
ing machine men: ! would do it if
could; but I'd like better to be able
to stop or at least to check or slow
down the fight of that greatest of
all flying things, though it is without
body, or wings or wheels, the flyer
