M CHANGE IS NOTED
IN RAILROAD SITUATION

The condition of the railroads run
ming out of Hattiesburg has not ma
terially changed since yesterday The
Gulf and Ship Island is still cut off at
Florence, on the Pearl river, II miles
south of Jackson. The Pearl during
the past twenty-four hours fell two
inches, but the fall yet has to be con-
siderable before the Gulf and Ship
Island will be able to get its trains
across to Jackson.
Today the Gulf and Ship Island
routed passenger trains running both
ways through from Hattiesburg to
Jackson. Whether this routing is for
longer time than for today was moi
known this morning.
The two passenger trains thus rout
ed will have a total run from Men
denhan to Jackson of Ill miles
against a mileage of 80 miles from
Mendenhall over the Gulf and Shil
Island line to Jackson. The rout
taken by the outgoing train from Hal

ON APRIL FIRST
AGENTS Who Were Dismissed Were
Principally Men " Were Engaged
in Other Lines o; Business and
Wrote Insurance - a Side Line.

NEW YORK, June 3.-One thou-
sand agents of the New York Life In
surance Company formally terminated
their service with that corporation
Monday, They were served with no.
tices on last April by Vice-President
g. R. Perkins that the company would
be compelled to drop them from the
agency force on May 81 because of the
law which prohibits a life insurance
company from writing more than $780,
100000 of new insurance in one year
The New York Life has had a stu
pendous agency force which in good
insurance years could be geared up to
producing $325, 100000 of new business
in a year The legislative investiga-
tiou by the Armstrong committee
showed that where there was no limit
ON the volume of business a large
oropowion of undesirable business was
written which speedily lapsed and was
really done at the cost of the perma-
nan- policy holders. The big bust
ness simply served the purpose of pro-
vidins the agents with commissions
and advertising the company that
wrote it,
The 1000 agents who were dropped
are only those who wrote life insur-
ance as a side line. Most of them are
men who conduct real estate offices
in towns all over the country and
write life and fire insurance and do
other forms of business.
The elimination of these 1000
agents cuts the agency force of the
company down to 1000. Prior to the
insurance investigation, when there
were no legal restrictions whatever on
the amount of money that was spent
to get new business, the agency force
of the company numbered 5000 men.
This army was maintained at the eX-
pense of existing policy holders.

The law.makes the members OF the
fiscal court personally liable to fines OF
$50 each for failure to publish the coun-
tvs financial condition annually. The
Franklin county fiscal court was indict-
ed for failing to publish the report and
after hard fought legal battle escaped
on flimsy technicality and a promise
to obey the law hereafter. The fiscal
curt of Mercer doesn't propose to suf-
fer prosecution and fine, so it publishes
the county's financial statement in the
TRENT issue of the Herald, which
shows it to be in good shape. When
courts flagrantly disregard the law, q
suspicion is created at once that there
is something rotten, not only in Den
m lrk, but in the management Of the
county's affairs. Fiscal courts which
are perfectly confident that everything
il right will not permit themselves tC
est under suspicion by not publishing
the statements.

NO EXCUSE FOR PREsENTCoNDl-
TONS.

AUDITOR JAMES is a good man, but
ne can not refrain from juggling fig-
ures to make point against the late
democratic administration in order to
bolster up the present incompetent
management of the States affairs. Mr..
James claims that the present condition
of its finances is due in part to large
appropriations by the Legislature,
which did not provide for their pay
ments but the appropriations were TO
larger than usual, when a democratic
administration paid them and kept the
States credit gilt edged. There is lit
tie excuse for the present condition.
The republicans have the benefit OF a
most exacting revenue law, the same
tax rate as formerly, with large in
crease in assessments. Besides the use
less expenditure of $780, 900 for sol
diers.to put down the night riders,
there have been other leaks in the
treasury, not known under democratic
rules. We should like to hear Auditor
James explain 1.-The Iquite remarkable
fact that in the only two republican adj
ministrations that have discredited the
State, the treasury has suspended
payment and.its warrants gone below
par. It.was so during Gov. Bradley's
regime. 1t is SO under Gov. Wilson's.
Perhaps after a while the people may
be convinced that the republicans can
not be trusted with the States man.
