MISSISSIPPI NEWS MATTERS
Brief Chronicle Of the Important Happenings
Makes Good Showing.

Insurance Commissioner Cole is a
close fgurer when it comes to telling
how much revenue his office will
yield to the state. Last winter he
told the Finance Committees of the
Senate and House that his office would
yield in revenue 100000 for the fiscal
year, which ended on Sept. 30. He
missed this estimate only a few dol
lars. The report Of the transactions
of his Office for the year just ended
shows that he paid into the State
Treasury the sum Of 500, 4S6.39. The
new insurance law, which was drawn
by Mr.. Cole, has proven to be a fine
revenue-producer. Of the sum col
lected from insurance companies dur
ing the past year $36,572.39 represent
ed privilege license, while the 2 per
cent tax yielded $57,195.61. The fees
