SERIOUS SITUATION
TSANE HOSPITAL is FILLED TO
OVERLOOKING.
Legislative Refusal to Recognize Prevail
ing Conditions Is Responsible 500
Patients Being Cared For.

Jackson.-For the past year the in
sane hospital has been filed to over
flowing, and it is estimated that there
are now nearly 100 insane persons CON
fined in the various county iails of the
state because they cannot be admitted
at the hospital.
The lawmakers were advised at their
last session of this condition of affairs.
and that the overcrowded condition
would doubtless become more acute be-
fore the next session was held, but the
urgent recommendation of DR.. Stewart
for an appropriation to use in the con-
stYuction of additional ward buildings
was not favorablytacted upon. The ex-
cllse offered was that appropriations al
ready made were in excess Of prospective
revenues for the ensuing two years.
The allowance for the current biennial
period is $3.50, 900 per annum, based on
a per capita of $40, with 1880 patients
as the basis. At present more than !, 500
patients are being cared for

APPROPRIATION : iNSUFFA
PAY THEM IN FULL.
Two ChanceIors Deprived of Salary
Money for November and None Were
Able to "Cash In'' for Decem-
ber Services.

Jackson-The judges were not able
to get any money from the state in pay
ment of their services for this MONTH
As matter of fact, two of the judges,
those from the Second aud Ninth dis
tricts, were left out in the cold when the
November salaries were paid because
they were the last to come forward for
their monthly stipend, and by the time
they reached the auditors office the
entire appropriation for the salaries of
chancellors for 1912 had been exhausted
Auditor ID. L. Thompson, notified
Gov. Brewer of this condition, and in
speaking of it later the chief executive
said he had no authority to do anything
to relieve the situation. He said the
judges simply would have to wait until
the next session of the legislature made
an appropriation to cover the delinquen-
cies.
The appropriations for 1912 lacks
something more than $4,000 in meeting
the entire payroll this year OF the judges.
The sum of S25, ,O62.5O was appro-
priated for 1912, and $500 for 1915.
It seems that the legislature overlooked
the fact that. there were ten instead of
nine .chancellors, and the appropriations
were based upon figures to pay nine men.
This largely accounted for the present
condition, together with the fact that
some of the judges terms expired, dur
ing which time they were paid $229.15
month, and the incoming judges, under
law passed by the last legislature, We're
entitled to raise and came in for
$3.50 month.
In 1913, barring any designations or
vacancies, there viii be enough to pay
nine judges their salaries, but when it
comes to paying ten the sum OF about
500 will be lacking to make up the
necessary amount, so that the appro-
priation for next year will be shy about
the same sum as this year.

A poor OYSTER SEASON.
Bivalves Taken on Coast Are Young and
Small


misunderstanding to advices from
the Mississippi coast, the oyster seaso
has been decided disappointment, an
the catch thus far is below the standard
of former seasons.
Although good weather has prevailed,
the oysters taken are young and small,
many of them being barely over the size
limit.
This is attributed chiefly to the largs
quantity of fresh water dumped into the
Mississippi sound by the Father of Wa
ters during the great overflow period
last May and June. The spring and
summer freshets, when of unusual du-
ration, always cause much injury to the
oyster beds.
Veteran fishermen say, however, that
a spelndid crop of oysters is promised
for next year, especially on the reefs
where the commission has planted larg
quantities of shells during the pas
three years.

All Records Broken by Kinds County
Circuit Court in Receipts From Fines
Assessed Against Those Engaged
in Illicit Liquor Trade.

Jaekson-All previous records were
broken in the assessment of fines at the
criminal term of circuit court that came
to an end at Jackson on Wednesday
after session lasting four weeks. The
total of fines is $9, GAO.
Nothing approaching this has ever
been reached in Kinds county before.
About year and half ago seven thou
sand dollars We're collected, this being
the second largest amount. The session
just ended is what may be properly
termed profitable one, as the total ex-
pense of the session is estimated at
something over $1,000.
Practically all of this revenue came
from men and women convicted of un-
lawful retailing of liquor, one negro
paying as much as a thousand dollars
upon pleading guilty to the indictment.
Other fines ranged from $50 up to $500.
approximately "a hundred and fifty in
dictments were returned against whiskey
and beer sellers at the last session of
court by the grand jury, which is, itself.
a record-breaker for the same offense.

Punished Because He Did Not
Have Money to Pay Fine.

New York, N. Y.-Declaring the
Callan automobile law is humbug,
Justice Steinhert was forced to elbow
Arthur ]. Marley, chauffeur. to go
free, although Monday he had SEN
fenced the same man to a year in the
penitentiary for having operated an
automobile while intoxicated.
WarIey's lawyer pointed out that
the Imprisonment was not legal and
the court could only fine the prisoner
S25. The court did this, but imme-
diately the lawyer pointed out that
while the CalIan law says the fine
should be SIS, there is no alternative.
and therefore his client, not having
$25, should be discharged.
