Treasury Running Low.

Jackson.-State Treasurer Stovall in
his report calls attention to the fact that
there only remains in the state treasury
the sum of $1,781.54. The sums to be re-
ceived between now and January are
very small in comparison with the
amounts to be paid out, so that the
holders of state paper, the treasurer
says, will have to be patient until the
January and February settlements are
made. At that time there will be plenty
of money with which to meet all obliga-
tions. The greatest hardship will fall
upon the Confederate veterans, the pen
sion distribution Of 100000 being
about due.

THIS A COSTLY MISTAKE.
Shipment Kinds Cattle Improperly
Carded En- Route.

Jackson-A minds county cattle firm
lost about $3.50 recently because some
one made the mistake of carding the
cars in which the cattle were shipped
with tags bearing the words Southern
cattle"
Commissioner of Agriculture Blakes-
lee is in receipt of a letter from the in
spector in charge of tie national stock
yards, in Illinois, explaining the mis-
take.
Kinds county cattle are exempt, un-
der dipping conditions, from the rule
applying to Southern cattle"
After the mistake of carding the cars
was made the dipping cattle were put
with shipments that had not been
dipped. Hence the owners were forced
to sell them at a lower price than they
should have received. 1t is estimated
the mistake cost the shippers fully $3.50.
The inspector wrote the explanatory
letter to show that no blame could be
attached to the stock yards officials,
as the cars, when they arrived there
were carded Southern cattle"

County Teachers Association, opened
here Saturday. The Boys Corn Club
exhibition, which took the first premium

500 Bushels Per Acre.

Brookhaven.-From one-quarter of an
acre, Capt. Beal, of Lawrence county,
has just harvested seventy-fve bushels
of fine sweet potatoes. That is by no
means the largest yield ever reported
from the sandy loan of South Missis-
sippi, but It means 900 bushels per acre,
and is above the average yield. These
potatoes are worth so cents per bushel
in any market, more in some places, and
that gives the farmer $3.50 per acre
more than any one acre of cotton will
make.

State Paper Is Good to Pay Taxes
With.
J~ackson.-It has been suggested that
the Confederate Veterans of this state
can use their pension warrants. to be
paid this month, for the payment
Of taxes, in case the treasurer cannot
take them up. This paper is worth face
value for this purpose. A veteran could
in all probability carry his warrant to
some one who pays a heavy tax and dis
pose of it at par. The party purchasing
could use it in payment of his taxes and
the veteran would nave his money
promptly.
A large number of the old soldiers
need their money when it is due them,
and it will work a hardship on many of
them to be kept out of it for any length
Of time.

GaI|inger Advises Rayner to
Turn Attention to BaIti-

Senator Rayner's criticism of the
street railways Of Washington is an
other case Of the beam and the mote.
in the opinion Of Senator Gallinger,
chairman of the Senate. District COM
mittee He found amusement in the
fact that a senator from Baltimore
should rise to censure the street car
service in the National Capital, for he
has had occasion to use the street cars
Of the Monumental city.
II always hesitate to criticise my col
leagues" Senator Gallinger said this
morning, when asked about the Rayner
speech yesterday in the Senate, "but as
I listened to the senator from Mary
land yesterday l could not but recall
the fact that he lives in Baltimore,
where they have about the worst street
car system that has ever come under my
notice.
IF the senator from Maryland is to
engage in the work OF reforming corpo-
rations of that nature. it strikes me
that he has splendid opportunity to
use great influence in his own city,
where 1t is badly needed"

the inquiry he directed to them on the
question.
Some time ago the President received
letters from a number of senators and
representatives suggesting that the half
holiday ought to begin in June. He sent
letters Of inquiry to his cabinet officers.
but up to today all these have not an
swered. and the answers In are about
equally divided on the proposition.
The matter may come up at the first
regular cabinet session, which will be
held Friday, unless a called meeting is
arranged.
