Deficit, Large and Growing, Stares
Mississippi In the Face.


Unless the governor can dispose of
at least a part of the 100000 bond
issue before November /, there will
not be enough money in the treasury
to buy last years straw hat at this
years bargain counter sale. But at
least 100000 of these bonds will be
sold before that date, it is believed,
which will be enough for the state
officers to draw a part Of their sal
aries, enough for one or two meal
tickets.
The state treasury contains about
S11S,000 at this time, and Of this $45,-
600 is for the A. & M. College, at
Starkville, and Alcorn A. & M. Col
lege, st Rodney. This money can not
be used for any other purpose, or If
it should be, the state would forfeit
the appropriation made by the federal
government for these institutions.
With about $5S0,OOO due by the state
November 1, the financial prospects of
Mississippi are anything but pleasant
to contemplate. The governor can, if
he fails to sell the state bonds, or
enough of them to tide over till taxes
begin to come in, borrow enough
money to meet current expenses. But
in addition to the funds due the va
rious institutions of the state Novem-

AS an Offset to this the state has
about $4,000 available, and if last
year can be taken as a criterion, will
receive for September and October, on
account of privilege taxes, about S.

about $1O5,000 with which to meet cur

The Philadelphia milk dealers who
recently raised the price of their
product to nine cents quart and then
lowered 1t again to eight appear to
have been the subjects of great deal
of unjust censure. They announced
at the time of the raise that milk
could not be sold at eight cents with
out loss. Finding that the consumers
would not pay the new price, however,
they are continuing to sell at the old,
thereby qualifying as genuine philan-
thropists. Every purchaser of milk
at eight cents a quart will doubtless
hereafter feel that he is an object of
charity.

The banking institutions of Missis-
sippi are in the midst of preparations
for handling the seasons cotton crop,
and the leading financiers of the state
take a very hopeful view of the stu
alton. According to prominent bank
ers, 1T is probable that the amounts
drawn from the Eastern financial cen
tiers for the purpose Of handling the
cotton crop will not be as large as last
year. This, is due chiefly to the fact
that the banks in Mississippi are more
aiberally supplied with home money
having over sGO.o00,000 on deposit.

PEANUT RAISING PROFITABLE.
Crop More Valuable In Yield Than

that will yield an average of $50 an
acre in cotton will produce 25 per cent
more in peanuts, while the cost OF cui
tivating and gathering the crop is 70
per cent less than cotton.
When the boil weevil infested thai
part of the state near Summit and
Gloster, the merchants and farmers
began to look around for substitute
crop. Mr.. G. H. Barney, president
and Mr.. c.. U. Dahlgren, manager, OF
the Gloster cotton seed oil mill, fig
ured on a crop that would furnish
them with raw material, with the re
suit that large area has been plant
ed in peanuts.
While the crop has not been har
vested, experiments have been made
which show that the land will yield
from SO to 100 bushels of peanuts to
the acre. A minimum price Of rs
cents will be paid for the entire crop,
but as the demand for peanuts is
greater than the supply for eating, it
is believed the average price will be
close to 81 bushel. At rs cents a
bushel peanuts will bring better re-
turns than cotton, as the meal can
be used for stock feed, but at 81 a
bushel the financial returns will ex
ceed cotton by a large margin. 1t Is
estimated that the average yield to
the acre will be close to 80 bushels,

the decision of the Board of Education
which is to be made public today, is
in favor of the teachers having their
usual vacation, it is probable that the

something of the embarrassment felt

not little of the violence. Just be-

the board announced that it intended

straight behind the members of the
board that they consented to recon
