yorable consideration. Experience has
fully demonstrated that Cotton can be
shipped much cheaper, and in better order
from our own ports on the Mississippi river
and the Gulf Of Mexico, direct 70 the mar

channels through whichit has usually been
forwarded.

AT the January session, 1887 the pub
! lie printers, Messrs. G. r. and J. S. Fall,
were authorized to reprint the acts Of a
public nature passed by the Legislature
since the publication Of the Revised Code,
in 1923; and at the April session, 1897,
the snm Of four thousand FIVE hundred dol
lars was advanced them ON account OF the
work. Attic last session Of The Legisla-
ture they received an additional advance
Of seven hundred dollars, and the further
sum Of five thousand dollars was appropri-
.ated, TO be paid to G. K. Fall, on bis de-
liyering twenty-five hundred copiesof the
said Statutes to the Secretary Of State;
provided the Executive should first certify
that the Laws have been all reprinted,
and the contract faithfully executed. Ha-
wing asccrtained. last spring, that the
Messrs. Falls had failed 10 furnish funds

ding 70 Contract, and that il would not be

ted him to include in the volume, reprint

copy of the entire work iii contains nine
hundred and thirty-tNo pages, with good
index to the whole volume, and Is well
pound and neatly executed. have rccei-
,ed advice that eleven hundred and seven
'opies of the work we're shipped from Bal
more on the 18th Of December, 1898,
md the residue thereof, consisting of ele-
zen hundred and forty-three copies, has,
10 doubt, been forwarded before this time.
The total cost fthe 2250 copies, in Bal
more, will not vary much from four thou
sand dollars. Freight, insurance, and 9TH
n incidental charges, win have to BE paid
q addition. The last appropriation ofivel
thousand dollars is yet in the treasury,
ind will be more than sufficient to payy for
The work, and all incidental charges III
respectfully request that an appropriation
pc made to enable the Executive to pay
for the reprint Of the Statutes published |
BY MT. Toy. His letter the 18th Dec.
last, Is herewith transmitted; ana the
whole correspondence will be furnished, ifI
requested. The great Importance Of fur
nishing the Statutes as speedily as posi-
bic, to thevarious state officers now desti-
tute, made it incumbent Cd the Executive
to use every exertion to obtain them.
