bulletin just issued by the Census
Bureau.
The figures given are for 1909 and
in that year there were 40,671 estab-
lishments, in which are embraced log
ging operations, ordinary saw mills,
planning mills and wooden box fac;
tories. Mills engaged exclusively in
custom saving for local consumption
are not included. The number of per-
sons engaged in the industry was 1884,
9S9 and the average number of wage
earners was 695.019. The capital in
vested was more than a billion dollars
and the value of products approx
mately was the same.
In average number Of wage earners,
the first of the ten leading States was
Louisiana, with 46,072; then Wash
ington, 43,749; Michigan, 96,672; Wis
consin, 34,O93; North Carolina, 34,001;
Mississippi, S3,397; Arkansas, 32,9S2;
Virginia, 33,2S7; New York, 27.471,
and Pennsylvania, 26,S73.
In value of products, the ranking
order was: First, Washington, $780,
154,S25; New York, $72.529,S ,S1S; Louis
lana, s62,SS7,912; Michigan, $61,513,-
$50; Wisconsin, $57,969,17O; Pennsyl-
vania, $57,453, $50; California, $45.000,-
276; Minnesota, $42,952,5O7 Illinois,
s44,951, ,SO4; Mississippi, $42,792,S44.
In Kentucky the average number of
wage earners employed in 1909 was
13,042 the value of products was $21,-
2S0,564; the value added by manufac-
ture which is the value of products
less the cost of materials, was $10,-
924,276.
The lumber and timber industry is
important in most of the States of the
Union 1t is especially important in
the South and, with the exception of
South Carolina, all the States of that
section lead Kentucky in number Of
wage earners and in value of products.
Kentucky has been cutting timber for
many years, but the supply still seems
sufficiently large for almost every
neighborhood to have its saw mill. II
there should be any effective steps
taken for conservation, the forestry
resources we possess should be ade-
quate for a long period, even at the
present rapid rate of consumption.

MIssIsslPPPs PART.

Mississippi worked under the unit
rule and in conformance with the state
primaries. Although many of the del
egates were Wilson men, the delegates
went as a unit for Parker and against
Brvan. This was extra strange be-
cause the old Bryan element was
strong in the delegation and the OLD
anti-Bryan element, if any there was
was of Bryan's way of thinking IN
the convention. This anomalous state
of affairs continued through the con-
vention, Vardaman fighting Bryan, and
Williams, for the most part, support
ing Bryan's propositions.
In sharp contrast stands the way the
Mississippi delegation treated Senator
Williams and the way the convention
treated him. He was put on no COM
mittees by the state delegation, though
no other state would have failed to
put so distinguished a man on the
platform committee, the most import
ant of ALL The permanent chairman
of one past convention and distinguish
ed in many, he was relegated to the
ranks by this years delegation. Yet
next to Bryan he was probably themost
important figure in the convention
and most influential. In a direct way
he, more than any man in the conven
ton, brought about Wilson's nomina
ton. And when the end came he was
singled out for congratulations ant

THE MISSISSIPPI
BANK STATEMENT.

Under the call of the auditor, the
hanks of Mississippi, exclusive of the
national banks, have filed their state
ments of condition at close of busi-
ness June IA. As compared with the
statement of last midsummer, there is
total decrease of resources of 81
267,91S.29. This need not be taken as
an indication of any particular nom
ent In the first place, since the state
ment of June Z, 1911, there have been
eight state banks to go out of busi-
ness, from one cause or another, and
the statement total this year is from
334 banks instead of 942 as last year.
These eight banks which have fail
ed and liquidated are those which
were eking out precarious existence,
usually in territories unable to support
such istitut.ons. One or two were
wrecked by dishonesty and in one in
stance the guilty cashier received a
seven year renitentiary sentance. The
ctLers are vet in the hands Of the Jaw.
The chief decrease, as apparent by
the statments to the auditor, Is in the
lime certificates OF deposit This
may be taken as favorable sign. 1t
likely means that the people are taking
advantage of the law which enables
them to loan money at per cent. in
terest without being taxed on the
loan. The two per cent. difference be-
tween the 4 per cent. the banks al
low on time certificates, and the 6 per
cent. on first class realty mortgages
is sufficient to make the cautious man
even, leave the bank and take the
mortgage as an investment.
Moreover, there has been more fine
stock, more up to date farm machin-
cry and equipment and more branch
| ing out in the rural districts of the
state than ever in it's history, in the
last twelve months. Additionally 1t
must be taken into consideration that
the deposits of last year indicated the
holdover from the most remunerative
cotton crop in a decade. The crop nor
the price was satisfactory in the cotton
year just ending. Taken altogether
there is nothing to worry about in the
statement; rather it means that mon
ey is out of the banks and becoming
better distributed among the people
