HAS NO MONEY
TO PAY INTEREST
FOR THIS PURPOSE $4,000 NEEDED
BIZ THE STATE.
OVERSIGHT OF LEGISLATURE
Governor Brewer Requests Legislators to
Authorize Him to Borrow Amount
With Which TO Pay States
Obligation.

Jackson.-Governo Brewer has mailed
the following self-explanatory letter to
all members of the recent Legislature:
"At your last session the following act
was passed, found ON page 40, Acts Of
1912, which reads as follows:
s'Section l. Be it enacted by the
Legislature of the State of Mississippi,
That there be, and is hereby, appropri-
ated out of any money in the State
treasury, not otherwise appropriated, six
hundred and ten thousand five hundred
(S610, ,50O.oO) dollars, payable on or be-
fore January 10, 1914. This appropria-
ton shall be used exclusively for the
purpose of repaying any money borrowed
by the governor and all accrued interest
thereon, under the provisions of House
Bill No. 7SS, entitled "An act to raise
revenue to carry on the state government
of Mississippi for the years 1912 and
1913"
carrying out the purpose of this act,
on June 5 last, | made arrangements
with Boston capitalists to borrow the six
hundred thousand dollars at a rate of
1-2 per cent. per annum interest, and
the amount was turned into the state
treasury by me, and / delivered notes
for this amount to the parties making
the loan.
"You will note by reference to the
act above quoted that only $1O,50O.0O
was appropriated for interest for the
amount borrowed this year. Interest on
the 600,00O.00 at the rate of IL per
cent. PER annum, for seven months,
which is the time the money will be
used before being repaid under the pro-
visions of the act, amounts to S15,75p.00,
and there is a difference between this
and the amount actually appropriated
for the interest of S5,250.00. The amount
appropriated i e the STAN I nay. borrow
for next year is about sufficient. I do
not know how this mistake in appropri-
ating necessary interest occurred, but /
feel sure you will agree with me that
we should not have any default In the
interest, as it would seriously impair the
states credit. The money was bort
rowed at a much lower rate than |
was offered by any parties in this state,
where 1 made all efforts to obtain it,
the cheapest offer being about IL per
cent.
"I now write to ask that you sign
the coupon hereto attached authorizing
me to borrow $5,250.0O with which to
pay the interest, being difference be-
tween amount actually needed and the
amount appropriated. If you will do this
at once will greatly appreciate it."

RETAIN COUNTY ATTORNEYS
Facts and Figures Being Prepared for
Voters Showing That This Is the
Case-Some Statistics From
Noxubee County.

Jackson.-LIn refutation of the asser-
tion that the office of county attorney
is a needless expense to taxpayers, and
greatly increases costs of criminal court
sessions, the incumbents of these offices
are preparing facts ana ngures from the
official records showing that instead OF
increasing the cost of administering JUS
tice the office has actually reduced ex-
-penses and therefore should not be abol-
ished.
Figures compiled in the county OF Nox-
ubee show that the cost of five terms OF
court prior to the creation of the office
of attorney amounted to $14,6S5,10,
while for the five terms since the office
was created the costs have totaled only
SO, 9,357.20, reductions of nearly 40 per
cent. These figures apply only to Grim.
inal cases.
So far as can be learned, no deter
mined fight will be made in any county
at the general election on November 5
to abolish the office of county attorney,
and the incumbents of that office are not
at ali worried over the outcome of the
litigation now pending before the su-
preme court to pass on the constitution.

CORPORATIONS FORM.
Capital Stock Recently Involved Nearly
Three Million Dollars.

Jackson.-That there is confidence in
the future of Mississippi, and especially
in the agricultural, industrial and devel-
opmental lines, and that her farming and
plantation lands are considered as a safe
asset against the possibilities of the fu-
ture, is indicated in the large number
of corporations which have been formed
within the past six months, whose cap
ital stock, in a number of cases, runs
into the six-fgure class. During the re-
cent past charters of incorporation have
been recorded in the office of the sec
Tetary of state aggregating between two
and three millions. This movement has
been carried on regardless of the act of
the legislature seeking to restrict this
class of enterprise, an act which, accord
ing to the construction of its provisions
by the attorpey-general, is morally in eff
feet now But, Notwithstanding this po-
sition of the states legal adviser, these
charters have gone on record as legally
approved, for the reason that the chief
executive takes the opposite view, main
tanning that he has no right to antici-
pate the provisions of an act not yet
effective.

expected near Cordonba A heavy

point and government forces were
sent over the Inter-Ocean railway to
