Some Old Slave Statistics.

In the Kansas City Star OF Fehru-
airy 9Th Is m interesting article taken
from some old papers found ut
Mexico, Mo-, giving an enumeration
Of the slaves held IN a few of the old
counties, IN the year 1850. Randolph
county was waited on by
e,G19 slaves. Audrain by 1,lG6,
Boone had 5,032, Galloway 4,523,
Monroe 3,021 and pike 1855.
From old papers In our possession
printed Il years earlier, in 1913. We
find the same counties had slaves as
follows; Randolph 1000, Audrain
$40, Boone 3,572, Galloway 1925,
Monroe l.S2G. Pike 1850 and How
ard 4,201. AS an indication of what
these slaves were worth. an old ass
ossmept abstract made by A. J.. Hern-
don, clerk OF Howard, i'm 1851 shows
LABS slaves appraised at Sl,iGG, 900
on which a total tax of $5,759.90 was
paid, one half TO the state and one
half to the county. on our present
basis OF one-third valuation these ne
groes were worth about $500 per
head, but this seems u trlfie high. 1t
Is interesting to note from this old
bank that all the land in Howard
county was the same year listed at
less than it's slaves, viz: $1,439,977.
The total number OF salves In all
the counties in 1S4S was 7G,757 and
the total number of white people was
5tO,A35.
Comparing this with the last CEN
sus OF the state we find that the neg
roes In Missouri today are l57,452.
Under freedom 1t has required fifty
three years for them to double their
numbers, while in slavery the total
population OF negroes In the United
States doubled in 80 years-one gem

ANTARCTIC COAL

ADELAIDE, Australasia, Feb. 90.
DIR. Douglas Mawson, the Australia
sian explorer. who has been In the
Antarctic regions since December,
1911. returned here today on board
the Aurora, with n graphic recount OF
a MIRACULOUS escape from starya-
ton, hardship suffered in bitter
storms, the death OF two OF his COM
panions, and the successful scientific
results of his two years trip of dis
covery. lie said indications of vast
coal and other valuable mineral pro-
ducts were found.
The original expedition under DR..
Mawson left Hobart, Tasmania. on
December 2, 1911, It's principal OBJ
ject being the exploration and sur
yey of the Antarctic coast line.
Two OF the members. Lieut.. MINIS
OF the British Army, aud DR.. Merz. a
Swiss, met with death by accident.
When the Aurora went to fetch
the explorers from the Antarctic car
ly last year. the vessel was forced to
leave before taking on board DR..
Mawson and five Of his companions.
IL Is this party which has now re-
turned.

panions he was alone for thirty days.

Il averaged s%ixty-three miles an hour.
For n hour II blew itG miles, and
gusts were frequently gagged at
over 200 miles an hour.
Mr.. Mawson declared that dredging
had yielded the best collection Of
biological specimens ever obtained IN
the Antarctic. Many mineral dopos-
its had been exposed, some of them
rich. Their extent. however. was not
t%raeeNble, owing TO the ice. occa-

FIVE DEER ON FIRST DAY.
Unusual Record i'll Spite Of Unfavorable
Weather Conditions.

The open season ON deer began Tues
day and was the most successful opener
in several years, five deer being killed.
The lucky hunters were Chester Thorn
as, Neil Latham. Frank Young.
Guy Whitney and Adam Roeder. The
weather conditions were far from
favorable during most of the morning
owing to the heavy fog, and the chances
are that with clearer atmosphere the
score would have been larger, as sever
al deer were not shot at in the early
morning because the hunters were not
sure what the objects were until too
late. Many deer were sighted, and scv-
eral shot at were missed. The snow has
almost entirely disappeared, makine
king very difficult and the hunters
are now anxious for another fall Of
snow, which would probably be the
means Of greatly increasing the score
as there is no doubt that the deer are
plentiful, not so numerous as when
there was no open season, but they
abound in sufficient numbers to insure
god sport under proper weather cOndi-
tions. Dogs have harassed them more
than usual during the fall. and many
have been driven across the river into
Vermont. The hunters did not 90 cut
