State Capital Notes
Deficit in the Penitentiary Fund.

The long expected deficit in the pen itentiary fund is now at hand. When the state offices closed Wednesday night there was just $4.90 in the fund in actual money and about $1S,000 in bills to be paid out of the fund. There is no lamp to rub and the day of fishes and bread miracle is past, so the Peni- tentary Board is now facing a serious situation. There are still about $2,000 in bills from last month to be paid out of the fund Besides that amount there are all of the salaries of em- ployes to pay and all of the bills for this month. The bills for this month. together with the salaries. will amount to about sl6,000 That amount. added to the 5000 carried over from last month, will make a total of about $1S,- 900 owned by the board which must be paid out of a fund whose vaults at present possess the magnificent sum of s490-not enough to purchase chewing tobacco for the inmates of one state institution for one day. To all appearances there will be no re
 llel TOT the SlludllOU uuLll the Sldtt farm cotton is sold. The cotton seed money, amounting to about $4. GOO, may be paid in at any time, but it will be little more than drop in the bucket compared with the amount of indebtedness. The question now confronting the board is. When will the cotton be sold? It is understood that there has been an offer made for the cotton at 15 cents. the price fer which the board has decided to hold out, but the cotton is still on the market. There seems to be but small probability that it will be sold until after the ninth of this monh, when the ginners' report will be turned in. Until then the committee of board members appointed to push the sale of the cot ton will make no strenuous efforts to dispose of it, as they believe that the cotton market will be more settled after the report is turned in. In the meantime the creditors will wait.
