the retiring of 100000 of six per
cent. bonds last year before the sale
OF 3136,300 of the 100000 three
and a half per cent. bonds, whose
proceeds were to be used only for
such retirement. one series OF bonds
being intended TO be substituted for
the other, but $363, 500 from the gen.
eral funds in the treasury were used
in retiring the 100000 of bonds,
and three and a half per cent. bonds
to that amount are now on hand and
are unstable, because the act au-
thorizing their issue specially limits
the use of their proceeds for con-
tingent now past. the retirement of
six per cent. bonds"
The State trasury, but for this,
would have had ample funds to have
met every obligation this year, and
next, on presentation. For the first
time in about five weeks, the States
revenues are sufficient to meet legis-
lative appropriations. The appropri-
ations of the last legislature aggre-
gated s6,523, ,710.91. The States
revenue for the year ending Septem-
Der 80, 1902, was $3,339,05O.S and
for the current fiscal year is estimat-
ed by the auditor at 1886, ,642.96,
aggregating $6,674,70O, which would
leave a surplus of $14S,290 for the
two fiscal years, Notwithstanding the
cutting of OF liquor licenses, which
in the past fiscal year amounted TO
s139,65O. The States total indebt-
edness, exclusive OF the school funds
held In trust, amounted to 1885,
1879, and on which only interest
is ever to be paid, is $1,253. .O29.O7.
Or this amount $1.000,0O0 is for
bonds issued in 1904 and in 1905 to
defray current expenses of the gov
ernment. The State can now pay as
it goes, except possibly for a few
months in the fall, just before the
large. collection of ad valorem taxes.
1t could have done so then, if the
1866, 500 of bonds had not been re-
tired from general funds, or if tenn
porary loan had been authorized, or
if the pension money had been made
payable on or after the middle of
January. The State should be scrip
ulously prompt in meeting its every
obligation at maturity, setting an
example to its citizenship, and should
live within its income. The power

of the present and prospective finan-
cial conditions of the State, the state
ment having been carefully prepared

payers of the State of Mississippi
Our last fiscal year, beginning Octo-
Der 1, 1907, according to the pub
lished report of the State treasurer,
opened with only $2,31973 in cash
ond hand and with unexpended ap-
preparations of $967,377.O1,. consti-
tuting deficit of 1866, ,O5729. The
auditors report shows S9,650.O7, of
the then outstanding warrants. On
January 81, 1908, intervening COL
lections had settled all outstanding
warrants and left in the treasury
$1.150.637.47.
"On October L, 1908, the begin
ming of the current fiscal year, prac-
tically identical financial conditions
existed, $4,560 in cash being on hand
and outstanding warrants and unex-
pended appropriations being about
the same as those of October 1, 1907.

marketed, and up to this date, as
