STATE FINANCES.

A statement lately sent out from
jackson shows that with outstanding
obligations to be met next month
amounting to over a half million dol
lars, and only 100000 now in the
vaults of the treasury, it will be neces-
sary for the State of Mississippi to
make an issue of bonds within the next
thirty days, and it is probable that the
first issue will exceed 100000. The
State funds have been at low ebb for
the past three months, owing to the
fact that the tax payments for the fis-
cal year have been nearly all made,
and the expense of erecting the new
State House has been a heavy drain
on the finances. Thus far the struc-
ture, which is rapidly nearing COM
pletion, has been erected without the
issuance of a single bond, although the
Legislature authorized million dollar
issue, but the State officials wisely
deemed it best TO use the general fund
of the treasury to the limit, and thus
save goodly sum in interest and also
reduce the maximum of the issue.
In November the treasury will be
compelled to pay out 100000 for State
pensions, $4,000 for Chickasaw school
fund, and about s25O,OOO for the cur
rent expenses of government. The last
Legislature authorized the use of the
State bond issue for the general fund,
and the bonds will run for a period
of thirty years and bear interest at
four per cent.

A TEST CASE AGAINST FOREIGN
CORPORATION.

A short time ago an important suit
Copiah county by the revenue agent,
Writ Adams, by his attorneys, R. N.
Miller, of the local bar: Hon. D.sA.
Scott, Of Friar's Point, Miss, and
Judge T. e. Cooper, of Memphis,
against the Colonial and United Statos
Mortgage Company, Limited. The rev.
enue agent is endeavoring to collect
taxes on all loans made by the de.
fendant company in Copiah county.
The defendant mortgage company is
a foreign corporation, having its dom
icile at Hull, England, and. through
local attorneys it has loaned money to
citizens of Copiah, taking as Sc
curity therefor mortgages on farm
lands in the county. The attorneys
for the revenue agent contend that the
mortgage company should pay taxes
on every mortgage owned by it in the
county. The defendant corporation,
on the contrary, claim that as it is a
foreign corporation, it is taxable in
England on its securities, and not
taxable in Mississippi, and it claims
that the Supreme Court of Mississippi,
in several decisions previously rem
dered by that Court, has upheld its
contention and decided that money
loaned in Mississippi by foreign cor
porations is not taxable in Mississippi.
While the amount involved in the
instant case is small, the result of the
decision in the case will be far-reach-
ing, as millions of dollars of foreign
capital have been loaned in Missis-
sippi, the outstanding loans in Copiah
county alone at the present time
amounting to over half million dol
lars
The foreign syndicates continue to
place mopey on farm lands in Mis-
sissippi in large amounts, as they con-
fidently believe that they will win in
the suits which the revenue agent is
bringing against them III this State.

The Hattiesburg Progress says:
''The John M. Stone type of man

State" We believe that Missis-

are not on the pedestal of public Of

unknown. We believe, further,
that the time is coming when such
men will be sought after in the
government of our State and
country. The Divinity that shapes

Franklin Roads and Bridges.

Franklin county has her public
roads under contract, and while i'm
provement of general condition of the
roads has been painfully slow, the
contractors are gradually getting on
to their work and the Board of Su-
pervisors beginning to tighten the
lines, and before another year rolls
around we predict that the roads of
the county will be in better shape than
ever before. Then bridges across the
Homochitto and Middle Fork will be
in demand. There can be no doubt
that our county will within another
year be strictly within the march of
progress, and we make the further pre-
diction the next Board of Supervisors
elected will have the job of contract
ing and building at least two modern
steel bridges somewhere near here

Lady Henry Somerset, the best
known temperance advocate in Eng
land, has arrived in, this country in
connection with her chosen work.
Lady Somerset says the temperance
cause has made but little progress in
England of late. When asked her
opinion of Mrs. Carrie Nation, she
laughingly protested against being as
sociated in the public mind with the
Western agitator. "Mrs. Nation is
an earnest woman doubtless" said her
ladvship, "but her methods are bad.
No law was ever repealed or amended

THE LIGHT OF LOVE.

If allwho hate would love Us,
If all our loves we're true,
The stars that shine above us
Would brighten In the blue.
If cruel words were kisses,
And every Scowl smile,
A better world than this is,
Would hardly be worth while.
If purses would untighten,
To meet a brothers need,
The load we bear would tighten
Above the grave of greed.
If those who whine would whistle,
And those who languish, laugh,
The rose would rout the thistle,
The grain outrun the chaff.
If hearts were only jolly,
And grieving were forgot,
And tears and melancholy
Were things that now are not
Then love would kneel to duty;
And all the world would seem
A bridal bower Of beauty,
A dream within a dream.

New Use for Refined Paraffine
Wax,

A new and important use for Re-
fined Paraff1ne Wax seems to have been
discovered by prominent resident of
Ohio, living near Lancaster, who had
two trees badly damaged by storm,
one being maple and the other an
apple. In each case large limb was
broken down from the trunk, but still
attached to it. The limbs we're propped
up and fastened securely with straps,
much as broken leg might be fas-
tened with splints, and then melted
refined wax poured into and over all
the cracks. The surgical operation"
was entirely successful. The Paraffine
prevented the escape of the sap, kept
out the rain and moisture which would
have rotted the trees, prevented the
depredations of insects, and the limbs
seem thus far to be perfectly re,
attached to the trees.

The Land Sale.

The long looked for and much
commented Public land sale by N.
+. Christensen, the Honest Real Es-
tate dealer has come and gone. To
say that it was all that had been ex-
pected would be untrue and to say
that 1T was failure would also be
untrue. That it was not an entire
success was due to combination
OF circumstances over which he
had no control. A man undertak-
ing so gigantic scheme as this is
sure to run up against tremendous
local opposition. circumstances
seemed to point to the fact that the
first sales were not Dona6de as men
from this section of the country
bought them. KEGS Hallock and
Charley ScharH took in the first
farms expecting and intending to
make them their future home. OPP
position could easily call mems
attention to this fact, but these
boys have settled for their farms
and will become citizens of that
community. The first days sales
were good and fairly satisfactory.
The second day opened gloomy
and rainy and 1T was noon ere they
got started. Anybody could see at
this time that the sales this day
would not bring the land to it's true
value. Pete told the boys they
would proceed but he would re-
serve one bid for himself, but bid
ding was slow. He sold in all 900
acres at about an average rate of
$4,000 per acre and cleared up about
Sl6, 10000. The land was all that
he had represented it to be and he
did everything he had agreed to do,
even refusing to sell it at private
sale for more than it brought,
thinking it unhonorable to sell it
after having advertised the public
sale. He is satisfied by his ex-
pertinent which gave him state
vide reputation and will bring to
him added sales.
