Cotton and Corn Carnival.

The directors Of the Cotton and
Corn Carnival have been called to meet
on the Goth Of February for the pur-
pose Of determining on what is to be
done in the way Of a Carnival this
fall. The consensus Of opinion seems
to be that an effort shall be made to
have much larger exposition than
was possible on the short notice last
fall. That Carnival was a great sue
cess, considering the very short time
the management had to work it up,
only about two months, bat the next
one will be inaugurated months in ad-
vance and made the best that time and
money can get together. Jackson is
determined to make the Carnival q
permanent enterprise, regardless Of
the cost, and the men at the back OF
it have the means to put through any
enterprise they tackle.

In 1900 the charter laws of the state
were changed so that nominal fee
was charged for corporations desir-
ing to do business under them and
from this source Mr.. j. W. Power
turned into the treasury last year the
handsome sum of $21, 1863. This was
something like an increase Of $4,000
over the previous year. While the cor
poration business for 1904 was much
greater from the standpoint Of num-
bers, the amounts involved were not
nearly so large. Since this department
was added to the Office Of Secretary Of
State in 1900, over $4,000 has been
turned into the treasury. Mr. Power
is Of the belief that the coming year
will still show healthy increase over
the last, January showing up especial
ly strong. The food Of chartered IN
stitutions is increasing very fast, al
though the amounts of capital stock
is not quite so large as in former
years.
