ISSUING ROAD BOMBS
MPASsABLE COUNTRY ROADS WILL
BE REPAIRED.
Need of Better Highways Brought Home
to the People, and Many Counties
Preparing to Raise Funds,

Jaekson.-With country roads rendered
W~el-night impossible in many sections
of the state by the heavy winter rains,
boards Of supervisors are waking up to a
realization of the Importance of having
public highways that can be easily trav-
eled twelve months in the year and it is
likely that the number and amount of
bond issues floated in 1913 for highway
improvement will even surpass the
splendid record of 1912.
The good roads movement Is unques-
tionably getting a strong hold on the
people of Mississippi, and contracting
companies engaged in this character Of
work are keeping their eyes on this
state.
In the county Of Copiah n special cleo
ton will be held in the First district on
February ! to pass on the question of
issuing bonds in the sum OF $4,000 for
good roads. The %neighboring county Of
Adams has ]iloated an issue of 100000
Tor the same purpose, and will award
contract for the construction work next
month, Suntlower county has given no
tice of intention TO float $4,000 in
bonds for Districts Nos. 2 and 8. In
Hancock county a $52,0 900 issue will be
sold on the first Monday in February,
to be used in the construction of roads
and bridges. On the same date Mont
gomery county will sell a $4,000 Issue.
Ncshoba county has arranged Tor a
100000 issue and may increase it to
$50, 900.

Banks Earn 10 Per Cent.

JaGkson.--State Auditor Duncan l..
Thompson has prepared q composite
statement showing the condition Of 333
state banks and 81 national banks in
Mississippi.
The statement shows that the appre-
gate resources Of the banking industry
IN Mississippi on December IS amounted
to Slll,539,359.07, an increase of S12,-
234,069.64 as compared with the COM
posite statement prepared on June Z,
1911. This is a net increase of about
10 per cent for a period of eighteen
months, although the number of state
banks in operation decreased from 342
to 1912 during this period.
Undivided profits OF the state and ma
tional banks on December 10 were So

now being sliced among stockholders on
the business of 1912. This indicates net
earnings of nearly 10 per cent, but many

ISOLATION, whose lands lie OH the east
bank Of the Mississippi river, between
Brunswick, in Warren county, and the
southern state line, members would have
nothing to say about the report sub
nitted by the acting chief engineer,
! practically recommending the purchase
Of the lands that could not be protect
ed by ~leyees, suggesting $40 an acre as
the average value Of said lands.
In the petition addressed to the Mis-
slssippi River Commission, the associa-
ton stated that the owners OF these
lands expressed a willingness to sell to
the federal government at an average Of
$l9.l2 per acre, there being S6,2s6 acres
Involved, the total value at the above
rate being S~l,650,447. Some o. this land
is capable of producing a bale of cotton
to the acre. In 20 years all OF this land
could produce cottonwood timber that
would be m~crchantablc and would pay
$50 an acre.
in the resolution attention was called
to the fact that "if the government
should pay $35 an acre for the open cul-
tivated lands of the east bank, they
would eventually pay Il profit OF $50 an
acre. and every five years after the first
20 the timber could be cut and net the
same pricc-S60 an acre.
Capt. John +. Jenkins, secretary of the
association, said that a committee will
be sent to Washington to appear before
the senate and house committees in be

Hazlehurst. Tick eradication, which
wac carried in the general election, was
approved ut a meeting Of the county

an order to build five dipping pats In

COTTON SEASON OVER.
Crop in the State Not Up to That of
Year 1911.

Jacksonville cotton season in Missis-
sipPi is practically AT an end, and receipts
at interior market points have been
steadily declining since the Christmas
holidays.
In the northern counties of the delta,
where a bumper crop was raised last
year, some picking is stiIl in progress,
but the. staple has greatly deteriorated
because OF exposure TO the heavy rains,
and the planters were unable to secure
sufficient labor to harvest the magnif.
cent crop. This condition, however, is
true only OF the counties in the north
ern portion of the delta.
Buyers in jackson have almost cleaned
up the supply in the surrounding coun-
try, and the season has been far from
satisfactory. Receipts at the local com
press up to the closing hour amounted
to l7,026 bales, against 1915 bales or
the same date last year.
