the governors message in both houses
and the adoption of a concurrent reso-
luton in the senate urging the speedy

Bad Year For Gins.

The cotton season now drawing TO
a close has been a particularly unfor-
tunate one for the ginners of the
State More cotton gins have been
destroyed by fire during the past few
months than any similar period for
many years. The conflsgrations we're
caused chiefly by the extremely dry
weather that mas prevailed silca the
ginning season opened, and the losses
sustained have been doubly unfortu'
nate for the reason that very few fro
insurance companies operating in tho
State will accept risks on cotton gils:
The latest report of destruction OF
a cotton gin by fire is from Caiborna
county, where the gin of Lee Hamii'
ton and fifteen bales of cotton therein
were destroyed.

absence of such industries, and what

compelled to purchase the furniture
for the State building 9t st Louis,
and the tables and showcases on which
exhibits will be displayed in the var
ious buildings, from manufacturing
firms in the East. No Stata in the
South is more abuldantly supplied
with hardwood timber of the most

Revenue Agents Office.

Will Mississippi kill the goose that
lays the golden egg?" is now live
ly topic of discussion as the legislative
session is at hand. For the past year
or more there has been an animated
agitation in some parts OF the State
in favor of either abolishing the Of
fee of State revenue agent or else so
amending the statutes relating to the

er of making his crusades which have
resulted in the collection of immense
sums of delinquencies during the past
few years. So long as the State rev.
enue agent confined his back tax suits
to corporations very little complaint
was made, but when he launched q
big batch of suits against individuals
on solvent credits big howl went up

Want Hiuher Salaries.

Higher salaries for the State officials
and members of the judiciary is sub
ject that will likely occupy much at
tention at the coming session of the
legislature At the last session the
salaries of some of the State Officials
and the three judges of the Supreme
Court were raised in small amounts,
but the increases were not of an ex-
tent to be wholly satisfactory, and an
effort will be made at this session TO
increase those who were not be1efitted
two years ago, especially the circuit
Judges and chancellors whose pay, 1t
is claimed, is not sufficient to COM
mand the best legal talent, and as
result the judicial ermine is frequently
worn by men who are in but few re
spects acceptable for the offices they
fill. A troublesome factor in the wa1
of the proposed increase of salaries
is the low condition of the States IL
nances, and it is feared that after the
legislature is through wrestling with
this problem that it will show de-
cided spirit of economy and tend
ency to cut down the expenses or gov
ernment as much as possible.
