And in the meanwhile the income of the State, carefully estimated for the same year. amounts to a smaller figure. the sum of s4,400.0O0. On the face of this showing, there Is a deficit coming. but its coming Is prevented for next year by the surplus left in the Treas ury by the administration of Governor Jelks.
 In the first place the Legislature at the summer session appropriated s5o.- 900 to pay the attorneys who are rept resenting the State in pending litiga- tion. Then the printing of the new Code. for which provision was made. will cost s3i.ou0.
 The Legislature also passed a sizable appropriation bill in the measure which established a county high school in forty-seven counties of the State. Ev- cry county that Is entitled to such a high school is making claims for it's establishment and unless the State oficials deem it wise to hold back or delay. each of the high schools au- thorized under the new law will be es- tablished in the coming year. This will call for an annual appropriation of s94,o0o, for each school is entitled to receive $2.o00 annually from the State treasury. It should be borne in mind. too, that this appropriation will have to come from the State treasury every year.
 To this must be added $25.ooo per an- nun for tuberculosis hospital.
 Now these four items may take from the treasury the sum of $200.000 du- ring the coming fiscal year. They will certainly take large part of that sum.
 So carrying forward the estimate far enough to cover a part of the appropri- ations made for the winter session, 1t will be seen that the annual living ex- penses of the State of Alabama will have been increased to $4,79s,ooo. A step backward will recover the esti- mated income of the State for the year of 1903 at $4.40o.o00. This leaves bridge of $398,0o0, which the adminis- tration must cross to make both ends meet.
 still other Demands.
 Now some other demands will be

made on the State treasury and they are large enough to demand considera- tion. Tn the first place, under a decis- ion of the Supreme Court affecting soi- vent credits, it is estimated that sbo,- 900 already paid into the treasury must be refunded to the men who paid It. Part of this money has already been paid out Part of it must, however. be paid in the future.
 Tn addition there must come out of the State treasury some sso,ooo which was paid in under the tobacco tax. Af- ter the tax had been enforced and after 1t had become so unpopular the Legis- lature repealed the law and directed the return of all money collected under the act. Like the other items 1t of- fers a way for money to get out of the State treasury.
 At this juncture the surplus left in tha State treasury Is as rock In weary land to the States 1nancfers But for the extra money left in the vault by the Jelks administration, the Lesis- lature's freedom with appropriations would have left the State in worse hole.
 When Governor Jelks went out of office he left in cash. which could not be assailed from any source except From the 1tk lhO e1tte ON N~, 10. 30, The State had that much money above every cent 1t owed.
 The treasury cash reached the enor- mous total of $i,s2e, ,000.0s. but the larger part of 1t was owed and sub feet to calls. To the Educational De- partment there was owed the sum or sl,04f, ,s42.s2. But after every Dill the State owed had been deducted, the Jelks administration left as a nest egg the s333, ,1oS. 90.
 Moreover, the Jelks administration left the State making money.

OUR NATIONAL DANGER
Time to Cry a Halt Before s

The business spirit Is crushing out the sweeter element of home life. We are in danger of a great commercial decline, because men. as a whole, think only of getting wealth.
 There are thousands. both men and women, who do not take time to eat properly. They rush through life, and as A result we have an age of indiges- ton. nervousness, irritability, sleep less nights, and morose disposition.

shows that the State win get during the year $4,400,OoO. This amount comes from the following items.
 From taxes on property. the sum of s2.550.00o.
 From the poll tax the sum of s1oo. 900. This goes back to counties in which collected.
 From the tax on the recording of mortgages. the sum of $7o,ooo.
 From licenses. $4s6.0o0.
 From Solicitors fees the sum of ESQ., 900.
 From the Agricultural Department the sum of $so.00
 From tho insurance Department the sum of s1T5,00o.
 From the Convict Department. the sum of $7oo.ooo.
 Other sources. s25o.ooe.
 These items have been carefully com piled upon e certain estimate made in the light of e knowledge and under standing of the business affairs of the State, and their total gives s4,4oo.ooo as the amount the State will take In during the fiscal year of 1908.
 Now for the expenses. It mas peen previously pointed out that an estim- ate of the disbursements for the year of 1907 cannot be accurately made at this time, because many of the appro- priations are hedged about with con- ditions which will prevent their falling dua during the present fiscal year. So the estimate for the disbursements for the wear of 1908 is to be based upon the disbiirsements actually made by the state during the fiscal year ending Sep tember 38, 1905. A
 Tn fhe year of 1908. according 70 the Auditors report, the disbursements act- ,,sIIy made amoanted to $s,Sis,Ssl.

surplus left in the Treasury by Gov ernor Jelks and the work of the State Tax Commission. it Is now believed. will prevent any deficit But out the Jelks surplus CT the Increased assessment made under the direction of the Tax Commissions deficit would be practically certain.
 There will be no actual deficit be- cause some or the appropriations, while they have fallen due. are not needed by the institutions for which they were made. A case in point Is the appropria- tion to the University of Alabama, which, although the first year's propOr- ton is due. is not needed by the Uni versity because the building operations are not yet under way.
 But the State. since the Legislature broke all records in the matter of ap- propriationsg is paying out more money than 1t is getting in. To make an even balance the Tax Commission will have to continue its energetic work. And every dollar assessed on property, ev- cry dollar assessed by the State Tax Commission against intangible values. Is needed. and needed badly.
 The new pension law, however. will help the Treasury, for the warrants were made payable each quarter in- stead of on october 1 in one lump.
 A birds eye view of the States fin- ancial condition and prospects can be had best, perhaps. by a comparison of the business sheet for the year of 1903 with that of 1906. In the first place. the definite details of every single ap- propriation made by the Legislature has not been collected yet, and these de- tails will not be gathered perhaps un- til the General Acts passed by the Leg islature at its summer session have

 MT. Sexton says that he Is hopeful now of having the creditors agree upon a division of the available assets, and thereby secure an order from Judge Newman ordering the payment of the claims upon whatever basis is agreed upon.

UNPARALLELED INCREASE

 Year Ago.

The state of Alabama spent nearly half a million dollars in 1907. the first year of Governor Corners adnninistra- tion more than 1t spent in 1906.
 The exact agnres for the big increase of the expenses oE 1907 over those of 1906 are s4s0.5s5.fe. The figures of this year's expenses were taken from the published reports of Auditor W. W.
