After a jury had brought in a YER
dict to the effect that J. M. Gillespie
was guilty of selling whisky and had
assessed a fine of 500, Judge Mercy
nolds added a four months sentence in
the workhouse. The prosecution was
aimed at the proprietors of the Cher

number of weeks, but was finally
closed up.

For years Confederate pensioners have
had to wait for their payments or dis
count their warrants. The failure of the
state to be as scrupulousy prompt as a
bank in meeting its obligations. at ma
turity, does not only discredit the state
itself and its people and deprive its bonds
of their just value and of market quota
tons, but also affects the credit OF every
county and municipality by increasing the
difficulty of obtaining loans on reasonable
terms. Such a course should be here
after carefully avoided, by providing for
loans In behalf of the state when the
treasury is empty, even though taking
the year as whole the revenue of the
state would equal or exceed its expendi-
lures. For instance, If the states expen-
ditures for 1910 are only increased to the
amount OF the estimated excess over the
appropriations of your last session, $685.
