THE TREASURY
RUNNING OVER
Surplus Since July | Reaches

BY THE END OF The YEAR

BY THE END OF The YEAR

Washington, Nov. o. The growing
surplus in the United States Treasury is
beginning TO attract attention and the
temptation to authorize large appropria
tions for the construction Of public work,
the erection Of Federal buildings and
other objects viii probably be felt by
Congress this winter. The surplus
moneys in the Treasury have exceeded
all expectations. AT the close Of bust
ness yesterday the Government had near
ly s1s,o09.0o0 more than it had expen-
ded since the beginning Of the fiscal year
ION July !. The surplus for the first
twenty-one days Of November is $3.50,
I974. The significance Of such large
figures as these before Eve months Of the
fiscal year have passed Is readily grasp
Ell BY the treasury officials who see sur
plus OF enormously large proportions by
the end Of June next. A year ago today
there was deficit Of nearly S14.500,000.
Although there was q deficit il year ago
.of approximately the same amount as
tAt llftntHt rui ptur. Niei improvement
toward the close Of the fiscal period was
20 great that on June 30 last there was
actually an excess Of receipts over ex-
.penditures amounting To more than $685.
100000. This was sharp reversal from
the condition Of the current Treasury ae-
counts at the end Of the fiscal year 1905.
when there was a deficit Of $4,000, 900.
AS the appropriations Of The last ses-
sion Of Congress were not excessive and
as the appropriations of the coming short
session viii not generally become avail
able until the fiscal year 1908, the pros
pect il that this years surplus in the
Treasury win be very large. An excess
lof receipts over expenditures amounting
to ST5,000,ooD would not be surprising
Year byl year the customs receipts have
Increased until it has been predicted unt
til the high water mark had been reached
for the present. Yet the increase in
these revenues in the last four months
and twenty days ha amounted to nearly
$l0,000,O00. as compared with the same
period Of the fiscal year 1906. There
has been a large gain also IN receipts
from internal revenue, the total at the
close Of business today being more than
SS,000,O00 larger than on the same date
in 1905. sAitogether the receipts for the
fiscal year thus far has been $252,746,-
GA, as against S230,7s7,630 for the
NSame period Of last year.

W. I. Marshall In the Chancery Clerk
Office.

Good men are not rare. Faithful
and competent officials are not uncom-
mon. Among this class is Mr.. W.
L. Marshall, the deputy chancery
clerk for the First district of Talla-
hatchie county, than whom there is no
more honest, faithful and conScien-
tiouS official. He is thoroughly con-
versant with every detail of his office
and can be depended upon to give
ready and exact information about
any matter Of record in the office.
He is gracious and cbliging and takes
as much pleasure in serving the hum
btest citizen as he does in serving his
more fortunate fellows. There is
nothing assumed about him. He has
no false airs. His kindness of nature
is but the reflex of d warm heart and
big soul. Tallahatchie county is
fortunate in having him in her service
and we feel sure that whenever they
undertake the task of finding a better
citizen or a more competent clerk they
will learn that the work is not easily
performed. Theo. Marshall is a worthy
man.

An $500 Chicken.

During the Indianapolis poultry
show the early part of February U. r.
FiShel of Hope, Ind, sold one of his
prize winning white Rock cOckerelS to
a MIR. Miller, of st. Louis, for $500.
During the show other sales ranged
from 800 to $500 for single birds.
There will be those who will say it is
fooliShneSS to pay such prices; but as
long as a demand for chickens at such
prices exists, it will certainly pay to
grow them. In raising poultry, as in
doing other things, the man who eX-
GELS his competitors is sure of sub
Stantial reward.
The sale OF single cOckerel for $500
ought to make the pOultryman who is

WHITE MEN CON-
V|CTED FOR ASSAULT
The Supreme Court Hands Down
Two Opinions That Send White
Men to the Psnitentiary for
Assault Upon Negro Women

One of the most unusual criminal
cases that has been appealed to the
Supreme Court for some time is that
OF Ed. TalkingtOn VS.. state, from the
Circuit Court of Tate county, the
transcript of which was received few
days since, and brief on behalf Of the
prosecution has been prepared by AS
SiStant Attorney-General Flecher.
TalkingtOn is Seventeen-year old
white boy, and was convicted and Civ
en- a ten year sentence in the peniten-
tiary for attempting to commit GRIM
inal assault on Il fOur-year-Old negro
child. The conviction was accom-
pliShed in spite of the fact that Talk
ingtOn belongs to a respectable white
family, his victim was only little
pickaninny and this furnishes another
striking proof that the courts of MIS-
SiSSippi will perform their duty, ir-
respective of color or worldly station.
The evidence adduced in the lower
court trial shows that Talkington was
at the negro S home on the afternoon
Of the assault, and he was identified as
the perpetrator of the crime by six
year old negro boy, brother of the
victim. This evidence, coupled with
the statement of physician, resulted
in the conviction of Talkington.
The Identification by the little negro
boy, however, was quite positive, and
was given full weight by the jury.
A somewhat parallel case was af-
tirmed by the Supreme Court less than
year ago, white man named Ham
mond Dickey having been cinvcted
in CoahOma county of crimnally as
saulting a young negreSs, and was Civ
en- life sentence in the penitentiary.
Able attorneys battled in vain to Sc
cure an acQuittal, and labOred siren
uouSly for Il reversal when the case
was brought to the Supreme Court,
but the latter tribunal affirmed the
verdict and Dickey is now wearing
felOn' S stripes on the Rankin farm

MERIDIAN VISITED
BY TERRIFIC STORM
A Destructive Wind Strikes That
Beautiful Twenty People
Killed and Thirty More Wound.
ed-Much Property Destroyed

Late in the afternoon OF March the
End, the clouds begun to roll up dark
and heavy to the southwest Of Merid-
ian and in very short while terrific
cyclone struck that beautiful city
and carried death and destruction, out
side OF the untold suffering of those
who were crippled and manned. The
storm swept right through the heart
OF the business district and twelve
blocks were raZed to the ground.
Twenty people were killed outright
and thirty or more wounded. So ter
rible and rapid was the work of the
cyclone that it mad come and gone be-
fore the people realized what terri
bic catastrophe had befallen them.
Telephone and tclegraphic communi-
cation were interrupted and it was
quite awhile before the outside world
begun to get the details of the dis
aster. In a very short while after the
extent of the cyclone became known
In Jackson, Gov. Vardaman had Secur-
ed special train and with fifty con-
victs was on his way to Meridian to
assist in moving the debris.
The property loss is estimated at
something over million dollars. The
legislature, at the instance of the
governor, voted $4,000 relief fund
for the stricken people and consider
able funds have been pouring from
other places. The people of Meridian
have exhibited fine spirit and set to
work at once to rebuild in the storm
swept district.
