usher in the sixty-seyenth year since
the founding OF this great educational
institution, which has held it's own
through war, flood and pestilence and
is today said to be stronger and more
potential in its influence and work
than ever. Every indication points to
an even larger attendance than at the
.2st session, which was the record,
with a total enrolment Of 932 students
for the four terms. AS stated by
Chancellor Powers, nearly all the
rooms on the campus have been as
signed for the coming session, with
fresh inquiries coming in by each mail.
Under the new system of room assign
ments, students viii find their quar-

arrival. 1t is also stated that to hold
these rooms, the students for whom

IMPROVING ROADS.

Starkyille, Miss, Aug. 2G. Work on
the construction Of Beat Is system
of rock roads is being pushed forward
RAPIDLY. Heavy grading is being done
on the Adaton road. Several Of the
stecpest hills in the county are on
this road, and are all being graded
down to easy grades. The sharp
curves just out of the corporation line
are being Strengthened. In one place
this will necessitate a cut more than
is feet in depth, while several en-
bankments will be thrown I'D across
hollows to a height of six feet or
more. This will be completed bv the
first OF September, and the macadam
will then be applied.
Work is also in progress on the Os-
born road, and several large fills have
already been thrown up
On the Longview road the grading
is nearing completion and one mile of
rock has been laid, beginning at the in
tersectiOn of the Whitefield and Low
or Greensboro road and extending one
mile toward town. This is the first
mile of rock road to be completed in
the county, and marks the beginning

$4,000 FOR BROKEN JAW.

Biloxi Miss, Aug. 26.-The city OF
Biloxi has been notified that it is de
PENDANT in a suit brought by Edgar
Cox by his mother and next friend.
Mrs. Mabel Cox, for damages in the
sum of $4,000.
Some months ago the horse of
James Moreuce, a fish and shrimp

Streets of the city, it is alleged, and
during this period is alleged to have
kicked Edward Cox in the jaw, the
result being a broken jaw.

CANTON INVITES TOURISTS.

Jackson, Miss, Aug. 2G-The Jack
son Automobile Association is plan
ming the most interesting interurban
road tour of the series for next week.
and in all probability will stretch it
out as far as Canton. The people Of
Canton, through the Young Mems
Business Club of that historic old
city, have sent the most urgent inyi-
tation to the Jackson live wires to
come up and see them and leave a
little of the booster juice which they
nave been scattering east, west and
south during the past three weeks.
Secretary Williams of the automO-
bile association has received an urg
ent invitation from DR.. Howell pres
ident of the Canton Young Mems
Club, to extend the tour to that city:
that the CantOnians are ambitious to
give the party of tourists such a vel
come that they viii forget that they
nave made any other trips abroad.
Naturally the Young Mems Business
Club OF Jackson feel a deep interest
in this project, as it was due to their
efforts and initiative that the Canton
organization came into existence, and
this yirile organization will fall over
themselves with a view to making a
success of the outing.
incidentally, on the trip between
Jackson and Canton, the tourists will
inspect the roads, and will use their
influence and persuasive powers in
conjunction with the Canton aggrega-
ton, to build up such a spirit along
the route that will lead to the best
system of public highway in the state,
with Kinds and Madison cooperating.
The way leads through some of the
most famous diversified farming coun-
try IN the South; around T0ugaloo,
Madison Station, Ridgeland, Cluck-
stadt and other farming settlements
which need good reads in order to
bring it up to an cen higher stage Of
perfection and att activeness.
Owing to other attractions for Fri
day of this week Che weekly tour has
been advanced ono day, anJ will be on
Thursday, with Florence, in F.
county, as the rminal point of the
route. with stops at Star, Plain and
other intermediate points.

WHEAT TO BE PLANTED.

Jackson, Miss, Aug. 26.-That the
farmers of Kinds county plan to sow
a great deal Of wheat this fall is indi-
Gated by the number of inquiries re-
ceiyed at seed stores in Jackson as to
the best kind of wheat to plant, how
the ground should be prepared and
when the wheat should be sown.
incidentally it may be stated that
the committee from the Young Mems
Business Club which has been gather
ing statistics as to the probable acre
age Of wheat has been advised by a
number Of farmers that they expect to
raise certain amounts of that grain.
The committee from the Young
Mems Business Club has arranged
with r. p. Peet, well known mill and
business man to install a FIGURING
mill using the latest machinery, pro
vided 10000 acres of wheat is sown
this fall. 1t is expected that much and
probably more will be planted in this
territory.
Since the discussion of the wheat
crop has been engaged in by business
interests it has been stated by men in
a position to know that the wheat
crop as commercial crop is destined
to intimate failure in this state due
to adverse spring conditions. How
ever, these have agreed that wheat
planted in small quantities will prove
profitable and that tho state should
and can raise its own flour supply.
Wheat should be planted during the
months Of October and November, and
the ground should be well prepared.
Once the wheat is planted and pro-
tccted from cattle the farmers wor-
ries are at an end until the time to
reap. Bearded wheat is regarded as
the best for this climate.
The wheat crop in Mississippi this
year, it is claimed, has been a decided
success.

products to be shipped to the rest of
the world.
1t IS far better for the banks to en-
pic their surplus funds in making
loans on staple commodities where
: they can relieve congestion or pro
mote legitimate commercial transac-
! tons, rather than permit these funds
to be used for the initiation of the
stock markets where speculation in
securities has already reached a point
which invites caution.
The abstract of condition of ma
tional banks as Of June %, 1915, Just
completed, shows that notwithstand-
ing the great reduction in reserve re-
'quirements which went into effect
with the inauguration of the Federal
Reserve System in November last. the
actual reserve of the national banks
on June %, 1915, are far in excess
of the largest reserves ever held at
any one time in the past history Of
the country, and amounted to 1910
million dollars, or IT'S million dollars
more than the amount which the ma
tional banks are required to hold.
This surplus reserve, it is estimat-
ed, is sufficient to justify, on con-
sentative basis, an expansion of credit
or further loaning power of say two
or three billion dollars. The present.
total loans by all the national banks
amount to about six and twO-thirds
billion dollars. A year ago, OF on
June 80, 1914, the surplus reserve of
the national banks was only Sal .0G0.- !
600; so that the increase over the sur
plus reserve shown a year ago is.
$737000,000. On October 81. 1914, ac-
cOrding to the last statement made
by the national banks under The old
reserve requirements, the surplus re-
serve Of all the national banks in the
country had been reduced to only S. !
100000. On December 81, 1914, prin- ;
cipally as a result of the reduced re-
serve requirements, the surplus re
serve had increased to $549, 000. 900. II
is now seen that the surplus reserve
of national banks, since the first o;
the present calendar year, shows An
increase of approximately $23O,000,-
900.
The total reserve of the national
banks now exceeds by $319,00O.000
the greatest reserve ever held by the
national banks at any time prior to
the passage of the federal reserve act.
The specie held by the national
banks and the federal reserve banks
to close to one Thousand
million dollars. The specie in the ma
tional banks increased between May
