FARMERS COMPANY
IS IN BAD SHAPE
WHAT BOOKS OF THE CORPORATION
SHOW.
SOME SURPRISING FIGURES
Company Had an Annual Income of
$4,000 and a Salary List of $15,.
OOO-Fifty-one Branches in
in Mississippi.

Jackson.--Since involuntary bankrupt
cy proceedings against the National
Warehouse Company were filed III the
federal court in this city several weeks
ago, some surprising disclosures have
been brought to light through an audit
of the books of the concern.
The balance sheet sows that the gross
income OF the corporation, organized for
the purpose of putting the cotton crop
of the South in the control OF the farm
ers, was only $4,000 per annum, while
the salaries alone amounted to over
$4,000 per annum. In other words, the
company was running $1,000 per annum
behind its gross income. The salary
roll shows that the former president was
paid salary OF $500 per year.
The company owned or controlled 81
cotton warehouses in the state, on which
a valuation of $12O,0Oo was placed. 1t
is estimated that the warehouses were
not worth so per cent of that figure,
and they are worth a great deal less
now. Some of them received no cotton
whatever last year, and several ware
houses at important interior market
points did not show receipts exceeding
100 bales for the entire season.
Fictitious values were also placed on
two realty holdings of the concern, one
of them being an ancient brick building
on South State street, in this city, placed
on the inventory at $4,000, when in
fact it could not be sold for $1,000 on
the local realty market. Similarly, Il
lot in Hattiesburg is on the inventory
at $4,000, when its real vaiue is below
$1,000.
In view OF the showing made by the
books, creditors of the concern are at
loss to understand why the officers of
the National Warehouse Company are re-
sisting the bankruptcy proceedings, un-
less it is for the reason that they desire
a receiverhsip of their own choosing.

HIS EIGHTIETH BIRTHDAY.
Mississippi's Oldest Lawmaker Hale and
Hearty,

Extraordinarily was the eightieth
birthday of the nestor of legislation in
Mississippi, Col. H. M. Street, of Me-
ridian, former speaker of the lower
house, and, for more than forty years
one of the most conspicuous figures in
the public life of the commonwealth.
Although he Is now at the four-score
mark, Col. Street is still hale and hearty,
in the full enjoyment of all mental and
physical faculties, and bids fair to last
for a goodly number of years to come
The legislative service of Col. Street
dates back to the year 1869, when he
was sent to the lower house from Prem
tiss county, and served by continuous re-
election from that county until he moved
to Lauderdale county in 1882. That
county also sent him to the lower house,
and throughout his period of legislative
service he was an acknowledged leader.
The Lauderdale legislator also served
as a member of the constitutional con-
vention of 1890, and was one of the
leaders in that historic body. He was
three times elected speaker OF the lower
house, the last time in 1905.

COTTON SEASON OVER.
Crop In the State Not Up to That of
T.. Year 1911.

= Jacksonville cotton season in Missis-
sippi is practically at an end, and receipts
at interior market points have been
steadily declining since the Christmas
holidays.
In the northern counties of the delta,
where bumper crop was raised last
year, some picking is still in, progress,
but the staple has greatly deteriorated
because of exposure to the heavy rains,
and the planters were unable to secure
sufficient labor to harvest the magnif-
sent crop. This condition, however, is
erue only of the counties in the north
srn portion of the delta.
Buyers in Jackson have almost cleaned
up the supply in the surrounding coun-
try, and the season has been far, from
satisfactory. Receipts at the local COM
press up to the closing hour amounted
- 17,o26 bales, against 1915 bales on
Ne same date last year.
