Receipts Larger Than Those of

Owing to the Fact That No Session of the

Montgomery, Dec. 21-State Treasurer
Ellis today gave out this interesting state
ment:
Total receipts from October l, to
December 20, 1896 ............ 1920 ,266. 50
Total receipts from October 1, to
December 20, 1885, ........... 4S4,97226
Excess in 1897 over 1896 49,. .....$ IA, 7O5 SO
Total disbursements from October
l. to December 20, 1895 =. 80. 13 ,166 IS
Total disbursements from October
l, to December 20, 1897 80. ....... 357 1916 26
Excess In 1896 over 1897 ............$ 81, 100 20
Included in the total receipts for both
the years 1896 and 1887, is. a temporary loan
of $1,000 100000, so that the net receipts for
such year Is lessened that amount.
1t will be seen that the receipts for 1897
exceed the receipts of 1896 $14, 705.SS, which
can be accounted for in a payment of $40 :
10000 made by the collector of Mobile
county, on the nth day of December, 1897,
no such payments in December collections
having been made by that county this
early in 1896. Thus 1t will be seen that
Notwithstanding the yellow fever the
amount lost has been more than regained
This excess of $557902 20 In disbursements
of 1896 over the present year Is due to the
fact that we have had no general assembly
to pay this year together with other nee
essary additional expenses accompanying a
legislative year.
The auditor issued S,96S confederate pen
sion warrants aggregating $116772. OF these
