Jackson COunty's Finances.

for the past year, that when the
next annual settlement is made,
all outstanding scrip should be
retired. The officials of the
county and particularly the
county judge, who passes upon
every expense of the county, are
to be. complimented upon this
indication of an early return to
a cash basis, which in returning
even for short period after the
annual settlement, brings near
er the day, when surplus may
be maintained in the treasury
throughout the year.
A comparison of the figures
taken from the annual reports of
the county clerk for July l, 1912
and July /, 1913, as published
by the Independent will be Of in
terest to all tax payers and citi-
Zens.
For the year ending July l,
1912, Jackson County had in
outstanding scrip $16,443 COM
pared with $6,4O7, this year. In
accounts allowed but not issued
in scrip, an additional debt of
$4,560 stood against the county
July l, 1912 compared with a
similar debt this year of So, 198.
The county's total indebtedness
last year July l, 1912, was thus
$21.003 and this year upon the
same date only $S,605 or a re-
duction in her indebtedness of
more than half or in figures 81 =
598.
This supports our prediction
that the next settlement will not
only wipe out the scrip indebted
ness, but give the county cash
margin over all indebtedness.
Another reason for this predic-
ton is that our revenues for the
past year exceed the eXpendi-
lures $1O,S49, or more than our
present indebtedness of July |,
1913. On the same date in 1912
for the year ended, the excess
of revenue over expenses was
only $685., which was doubtless
responsible for the low market
price of scrip the past year and
as this figures in all contracts
and expenses of the county, the
deprecated scrip cost the coun-
ty thousands of dollars. With a
better price for scrip, the climb
ing back upon cash basis is
made much easier and faster.
The biggest item in the coun-
tvs partial recovery from a de-
preciated scrip, is due to the road
tax, which unfortunately we
were deprived of for two years. !
This was responsible for the eX-
penditures for county court pur- /
poses increasing from $5.963 |
for the year ending July |, 1912, !
to $12,473 for the year ending
July /, 1913, as the roads and |
bridges of the county had be- J
come in such a condition with !
out road funds or tax, that large
expenditures from the general
revenue fund were necessary.
Another contributing factor
to the good showing made,
lays in the reduction of circuit
court expenses for the year end
ing July l, 1912 of $12,473, cut I
to $5,963 for the year Just end \
ed.
The general revenue fund for
the two years is practically the
same $31,71S for the year end
ing July /, 1913 compared with
S31,S06 for the year previous.
The amounts received from fees
for the two years varies little /
and the only additional revenue
for 1913 was $4,000 received
from liquor license.
The statement cannot be view
ed from any other light than

Invention of Atlanta
Banker Proves Aid to
Adding Machine Work
w. S. Lounsbury Offered Large
Royalties for Use of New
Device.

w. S. Lounsbury, vice president Of the
Travellers Bank and Trust Company, now
appears in the role of inventor. His in
vention is an adding machine attach
ment. So far has he progressed that
patents are pending and the leading add
ing machine corporations, after sending
representatives to Atlanta to see the de-
vice, have made offers of handsome roy
alties for it.
Mr.. Lounsbury's device is intended to
facilitate the handling of statement
sheets. AS the adding machine now is
constructed, it is necessary to lay the
sheets to be worked on a table at the
left, pass them through the machine, and
pile them again on a table at the right.
This Inconvenience has retarded sales of
the machines.
With the new attachment, the state
ment blanks to be used stand at en-
angle on a sort of shelf. AS they are
worked, they are dropped into another
compartment of the same receptacle.
They always are in order, and always
piled straight. When through, the OPP
orator detaches the device, folds it, and
it becomes a steel case which goes into
pigeonhole in the bank vaults, like an
ordinary filing case.

elers bank for some time has proved sat

SUPREME COURT Restraints
A SUIT AGAINST GOVERNOR

JACKSON, MISS. March Ex-Governor
Brewer has been granted an injunction
in the supreme court restraining Major
w. J. Shackelford chief engineer of the
state levee board. from pushing the $780,
900 suit against the governor in the Mem
phis court. The suit must be filed in
Mississippi.
The trouble arose from criticisms al
legged to have been made by Governor
Brewer that Major Shackelford was re-
sponsible for the break in the Beulah Gre
vase, in Mississippi. in which scores
were killed and thousands of acres flood
ed last year.
