Mineral Deposits in Mississippi.

Two or three counties in the
northeastern portion of the State
are beginning to attract a great deal
OF attention because of the discovery
of deposits of minerals of most
every kind, and the organization of
strong company to develop them.
Representatives of the Itawamba
Coal and Oil Development Company
are showing samples of coal, iron,
silver, copper and other minerals
that have been taken from their
properties. and there does not seem
to be any room for doubt that there
is fortune in those everlasting old
hills for somebody. Parties from
outside the State recently purchased
several thousand acres of these
lands, and it is stated that they are
backed by abundant capital to de-
velop them. Mississippians have
never doubted that their State is
rich in mineral deposits, but they
have never had the means of finding
out for certain, or of pushing what
they did know.

Constantinople, Sept. 2l.--The Ser
Wan governments reply 10 the porte's
representations says measures have
been taken to prevent bands entering
Macedonia and that strong band
which was preparing to cross the from
tier has already been dispersed.
The Servlan reply adds, however
that II the persecution of Christians
and the excesses of the Turkish troops
continue and serious reforms are not
introduced the government will be un-
able to restrain the popular agitation
In Servia.
The unfavorable comment aroused
by the appointment of Reshid Pasha,
the former vail of Beirut. to be vail OF
Brusa, which Is really promotion,
continues The action OF the porte In
this connection is regarded here as a
challenge to the representatives of the
powers. especially to the American
minister, who, IL Is thought, Is likely
TO protest and may possibly demand
Reshid Pasha's recall from Brusa, In
the interests of the American education
establishment in that vilayet.
Reports from Beirut say the appoint
ment of Hahn Pasha to be vail of
Beirut has caused much dIsappoint-
ment. The inhabitants expected that
Nazim Pasha, the vail of Syria, who
inspired confidence by his conduct
when he became acting vail after
Reshid Pasha's removal, would be
made vail.

state Finances.

The race between the money COM
ing into the State treasury and the
money going out is going to be close.
In the language of the day, is is go
ing to be an "eyelash finish. Treas
uerer Hampton was asked last week
if he thought the State would have
to borrow any further sums OF
money, and he said that he did not
think that it would. He is of the
opinion that the proceeds from the
sale of the cotton and cottonseed of
the State will tide over the treasury
and enable this administration TO
pull through without having TO bor-
row a cent. He said that if the of
fieials could have their way about
when the revenues of the State were
to be paid into the treasury there
would be no question about the re-
suit. The States cotton will begin
to bring money into the treasury
during the next few weeks, and there
is no very pressing demand on it
right now, the largest being the
$4,000 which the State owes the
assessors, and $1,000 of this sum
has been paid. From the time the
season opened last year until De-
cember 81 the treasury received ST.
456,141.79 from the sale of cotton,
cottonseed ad other products. The
crop is not as large this year as il
was last, but the price is better and
it is expected that the reynue viii
be fully as great. The. largest dis.
tribution in sight now is that of the
pensioners. This will be 100000,
but by the time the auditor is ready
to send out the warrants the sheriffs
will be paying their tax money into
the treasury. The finish is going to
be exciting, but Treasurer Lampton
expects to win out.

Removal Rumor Denied.

The report sent out last week
through these columns that the Illi-
nois Central Railroad Company
contemplated the removal Of their
machine shops at an early date from
McComb City to jackson seems to
have been unfounded. The Nc
Comb City board of trade asserts
that it has substantial assurance
that there is nothing in this rumor.
The report is believed TO have had
its origin in the fact that the COM
pany has in contemplation the es-
tablishing at Jackson of such repair
shops as will be necessary at a point
where-three of its lines run to-
gether-as the main line, the Yazoo
branch and the Natchez branch.

waiting for an answer, he went on to
denounce in general way some of
those present There we're some In the

that these be removed. There were
murmurs OF disapproval throughout the
floor, and President Buchanan inter-
