WEALTH OF THE UNITED STATES


The Census Bureaus bulletin giving
The wealth OF the United States at 1SS
billion dollars, in round figures, or
81 .965 per capita, is surprising, in
view OF the census estimate of but 1O7
billions in 1904. The United States
by these figures is far and away the
wealthiest nation.
The figures given are for the year
1912 and 1i0 billions out of the 1SS
billions are real estate and improve
moats. Railroads are put in at l6
billions and manufactured goods on

have seen an old street weeping
Narrow, dark ascending;
Water DER the spires
or church descending;
The church thrice veiled-in rain
IN the shadow of the years.
In the grace Of old design;
Dim dwellings, blind with tears.
Rotting on either side
The winding passage way.
To where the river crosses
Weeping, under gray
And limpid heavens weeping
Gardens | have seen
Through arched doors. whose gratings
Ever cry the keen
Dim melodies of lace
Long used and rare gardens
With an old time grace
Vibrating. dimly trembling
In the music of the rain
Roses have seen drip faint
Perfume, and lilacs train
A quivering loyeliness
From door to arched door
Passing by in flower carts;
While waters even pour
Ger the white stones of the fountain,
Melting icily away
Half way up the mountain;
Where to mingle tears with tears,
Their clothes mishappen, sobbing,
Two or three old women,
In wooden sabots hobbling,
Meet to fill their pitchers.
From the stream of water leaping
Through the lips, a long time parted,
or q face grotesquely weeping
A carven face forever weeping.

SOME CITY.

tMorgan Blake in Nashville Banner)
Permit us, ladies and gentlemen, 10
call your attention today to Bristol,
a town located partly in Tennessee
and partly in Virginia. Bristol is
peculiar city, in that 1t is state-wloe
prohibition on one side of the street
and nationwide saloons on the otner.
A. man can get drunk in Virginia anu
recuperate in Tennessee without go,
ing any further than across the street.
It was a strange sight for men from
the interior of Tennessee to see an
open saloon, with doors swinging vide
and all brands of liquor displayed IN
the windows. 1t made me feel PROUD
of nv state to contrast one side OF the
street with the other. On the ZEN
nessee side were drug stores, ice
cream parlors, moving pictures ana
business houses. On the Virginia SIDE
tnearly every other store is saloon.
Somehow 1t didn't look right. After
l'you have lived in a dry town for a
while, a saloon just doesn't seem to NJ
in with the landscape. 1t was noticed
that when ladies and children were on
the streets they chose the Tennessee
side to walk on, and not the Virginia
side. On one side of the street were
all those things that go to elevate "a
CITY: on the other all those things
that tend to lower the morale OF its
people. And was proud of my state
and 1 was also proud that virginia
Fhad recently passed statewide law
that, when it goes into effect, July l
1916, will put an end to the practice
of men and boys in Bristol Tenn'
tcrossing the street and getting drum

been a total abstainer all his life ane
would have been in no peril from the
close proximity of Virginia, but, not
withstanding this, the writer did nj
walking in Tennessee as far as pos
sible while in Bristol. The environ
ments were just little more decen
and inviting.

'GAPERT0N HAS WORK
FOR TAX DEuNQUENTS
STREET COMMISSIONER WILL
HELP THOSE IN ARREAs WITH
THEIR STREET TAXES.

If you haven't the necessary SO
with which to pay your street taxes,
long over due, and honestly want to
clean up this obligation to your city,
Commissioner Caperton has found a
way to assist you. 1t is like this:
The streets of Hattiesburg are
greatly in need of repair in certain
places. There is limited number
of men available for this use, the
greater part of the work being done
by city prisoners. 1t is recognized
fact that the average city prisoner, as
worker. has very small batting
average.
Therefore, it is possible for Com
missioner Caperton, in charge of the
street Improvement work, to give en-
ployment to delinquent street tax
payers and credit them With the
amount of work done. AS the 50

large one, but it will likely exceed
10, 100000 bales. Cotton Is now sell
ing at an average Of $50 a bale, which.
though prices go higher, will bring
more than half billion dollars.
And itis true that some portion OF
the tremendous crop grown last year,
nearly 100000 bales. is still in pro-
ducers' hands. All who we're able to
do SO held part of the crop for high
er prices.
Business throughout the South is al
ready brisk. The time has passed to
consider favorable auguries, the good
times have come; commercial travel
ers report brisk sales and the jobbing
house are receiving large orders.
! All Of this is very congartulatory
condition. 1t doesn't leave any ground
| for the pessimist to stand on and it
appeals to the live man of business
to be UP and doing. Times are good
and the outlook is that still better
times are comign. It is well enough
to read the war news and talk politics
! All intelligent men and good citizens
will take sane interest in both, but
such things will not obscure the fact
that a very brisk business period is
dawning, is here, in fact; period o.
general prosperity, and the live mar
and wide-awake community will make
the most of it.
