COUNTY MUCH BETTER
OFF THAN LAST YEAR.
More Money Was Owed on General
Fund Then Than All Other Funds
Put Together Contained-county
Has Nearly $4,000 in Banks.

By comparison with his report of
October. 1908, the report of County
Treasurer Gillis, submitted to the
Boad of Supervisors this afternoon,
presents some highly interesting and
satisfactory figures.
Most satisfactory and interesting of
all comparisons, however, is that which
shows Forrest county's exchequer to
be some $4,000 or $4,000 better of
on October I, 1909,' than was the case
on the same date one year ago.
Another highly interesting fact is
that while the county's general funo
now contains the sum of s9,17S.77, last
year more was owed on the sinking
fund than there was money in all the
other funds put together to pay. In.
county's strong box today contains the
tidy sum total of $34,565.2S. This
money is on deposit in the three Hat
tiesburg banks to the credit of For
rest county.
A recapitulation shows the various
funds to now contain the following
amounts:
General fund, s9,17S.77; school
fund, $2.20; pauper. $29.26; bond, IN
terest and sinking, s2,s1761; Jail, S.
1864; institute, $50; sixteenth sec
ton, $99S.66; road and bridge, s12,-
1854.
The showing made is an excellent
one and gives evidence that this
county is rapidly forging to the front
in Mississippi and soon will be near
the top Of the tidal wave Of prosper
ity which is beginning to sweep over
the entire country.

gagged target was SO, badly torn during
the first run that she was obliged to
shift her fire to a fresh target for
the second run, which resulted in the
second target being reduced to a

nearly ninety per cent of hits while
the vessel was pitching in a rolling

bNWllllN6 70 REMAIN SILENT
Does Not Care to Wait Until the
Trouble Blows Over.

Washington. Dec. 21.-President
Taft has yielded to the demands o.
both Secretary Ballinger and his
critics for public investigation Of
the whole subject matter underlying
the so called Ballinger-Pinchot con-
troversy. I BIZ
Mr.. Ballinger served upon the pres.
ldent virtually an ultimatum to the
effect that such an investigation was
indeed the price Of his remaining in
the cabinet. He made It clear to the
president that he was no longer will
ing. to sit silent in his Office in the
interior department and wait for the
thing to elbow over" a.
Mr.. Taft, it is said, reluctantly ad.
mitted the disappointment of his hope
that the country at large would &C
cept as final his own vindication Of
Mr.. Ballinger in his dismissal Of the
charges brought before him against
the secretary of the interior by L..
R. CLAWS, the former special agent of
the land Office, and his conclusion that
the investigation demanded by both
sides in this matter was inevitable. ::
Mr. Ballinger's attitude in this mat
ter has the support of leading Repub-
licans in both branches of congress
senators and representatives-who
feel that, entirely apart from the mer-
its of the controversy itself, Tester
ing sore of this character must poison
the whole system of the party in
power and that it is high time to re-
sort to the lance. These leaders, do
termined that cleansing of this
wound is necessary, have not hest
tated to 60 to the White House and
impress their views upon Mr.. Taft.
Conferences of confidential char
acter, In which members Of the cab
met, party leaders in both houses of
congress and the president himself
heve participated, have been held at
various times during the past few
days. They eliminated when Secre-
tary Ballinger, Attorney General
Wickersham and Postmaster General
Hitchcock met in Mr.. understands
Office and proceeded thence to the
White House, where the matter was
laid before the president.
