business world is coming to realize
more and more that there must be
economy in operation and is acting
accordingly. There seems to be a
more widespread disposition toward
individual economy This is reflected
in the increase in savings accounts
and in the number of individual saw
ings deposits. People are buying less
lavishly of Injuries ana are conserv-
ing their income. Reports from all
sections as a rule show marked dis
position to liquidate debts and while
business defaults show an increase in
number and aggregate liabilities COM
pared with year ago, the percentage
of assets to liabilities Is higher than
it was for the first half of 1910. The
number of failures is IA per cent less
and liabilities A per cent less than in
| 1908. While these mortality statistics
reflect a closer discrimination on the
part of banks and those intrusted
with the care of accumulated money
and the extension of credit, does II
not also reflect a keener sense Of re
sponsibility and duty of man to man

of installing air compressors at the
five artesian wells from which Jack
son expects TO receive it's future
source of water supply is now in pro-
gress, and the contractors state that
they will be in readiness sor the Of
fetal test within the next ten days.
With the ordinary engines as lift
ing apparatus the wells failed to flow
the required quantity of t000,0o0 ga
ions, ard, unless the contractors sue
coed in getting a flow Of this quan-
tity. thcy have wested 4 year or move
of work and about $4,000 paid cut in
labor.
The superintendent in charge at
tributes the failure of the first test
to mud ard sand clogging the strain
ers. and believes that when the all
comprcssors are In operation flow o.
water more than sufficient to supply
the needs Of Jackson will be secured
Some Of the city officials, however
are rather pessimistic over prospects
and believe that the city will be fore
ed to keep on using Pearl river water
lin which event the pumping statio1
will be moved nearer town.
