ADVANCE PAYMENT OF PEN

INCOME FOR YEAR.

over a million dollars have been PAID
out from the treasurey of Georgia within
the past week. Almost all Of thaE amount
is represented by the prepayment OF pen
sions for 1908.
with this large drain upon it. the state
strongzox enters upon the second month
of the new year badly depleted. In
point Of fact, it has been pretty well
cleaned out. Approximately only sso-OOo

That amount does not include the near
beer moneys on hand, nor the bond fund
required TO be set apart.
Other money is coming in, it is expect
ed, before the end Of February-probaniy
about 100000. Revenue will be dribbling
into the treasury all during the year, SO
no crisis is being faced. But the great
bulk of the states income will not be
available for disbursement before Decem-

This advance pension payment has con-
sumed even before the first month of the
year IS over. nearly a quarter of the
states estimated income for the whole
year to come.
The figures Of that income are approx
imated by State Comptroller Wright at
81, 10000, including over three millions
taxes on seven million dollars worth OF
property, at mills; special or misceila-
neous taxes. 81. $50 900; $4,000 rental for
the state road CIV. & A. Railway $250000
poll tax, and other minor sources of rev.
enue.
The fact that over million dollars
have been paid out from the state treas
ury within the past week has no signif1-
canoe in connection with any fears that
the state will not be able at the years
end to meet the demands upon it; but 1t
is regarded as significant when related
with the fact that there are current pay
ments that must be made during the
year, and that the advance payment of
pensions has. according to authentic cai-
culation, very seriously crippled the
treasury at the beginning Of the year and
has brought about tight conditions that
will require some close sailing for the
next few months,

NEW YEARS. RACES
FINALLY ARRANGED

Arrangements have been completed
for the double header which is to be
pulled off at the Athletic Park in New
Years Day.
At 2 p. m. Ayres and Dick Sullivan
will walk mile for the local cham
pionship at that dinstance, and imme-
diately after that race Anton Kaoo and
ITsukamoto will run a ten-mile race to
find out who is the best man at that
distance, a question that is a very vex-
ed one.
1t will be remembered that Kaoo
and Tsukamoto ran what was prac-
ticalIy dead heat at ten miles. the
race taking place at the Athletic Park
and nearly resulting in a riot. Both
men are anxious to settle the matter Of
supremacy over a ten-mile course once
and for all and neither will leave any
effort unspared to secure a decisive
victory on the FIRST day of next year
The judges will he as follows: w. II.
Rawlins, Chas. F. Chillingworth, and
Mr.. Sayegusa. The events of the
afternoon will be under the entire
control and direction of the Athletic
Park people
There was a question as to whether
the walk should be at mile or half
a mile Ayres wanted the shorter
distance and Sullivan was in favor OF
a mile. They tipped a coin to de-
eide the matter and Sullivan won the
privilege of choice of distance, calling
it mile.
This race shoulW pe good one as
the two walkers were on level terms
for about the first mile of the Kala-
kaua Avenue race last Sundty. Both
men will keep on with their training
and the local record of 1886 for a mile
held by Sullivan, looks in danger Of

TO RACE FOR
PACKAGES

The freak yacht race next Sunday
will start at 1920 a. m. This was de-
cided at a meeting of the Honolulu
Yacht Club held yesterday afternoon.
The race will be a package affair
and will be open to wrens and pearls.
The little craft will start opposite the
Myrtle boathonse with a twoIgun, two
minute start. They will go out to
the bell buoy and return, keeping to
the channel. In the narbor they will
collect packages, one for each boat,
hung at three different points in the
harbor. No yacntsman is supposed
to collect a package before the race.
The course to be taken in picking
up packages is optional. Any boat
can go to any package station first.
The locations of the package stations
have yet to be announced If the
packages are craftily placed the race
should develop into a really exciting
affair and it will undoubtedly be wit
messed by the customary hundreds who
throng the houses of the local boat
clubs whenever a race is on.
The entries will probably be-Eha-

cling Sally; wren, Skipper Stone; Gal
Looping Mary, wren; Jack Densham;
Roaring Gimlet, wren, George Turner
