Heavy Balance for State Treasury
Teachers to be Paid.

Jackson. Miss.-State Treasurer
Stovall has issued a statement to
the repositories of Mississippi in
forming them that after July ! the
states deposits will be large. This
information is to aid the banks in
their arrangements for funds. The
statement reads:
1t now looks like the treasury
has prospect of a good heavy
balance from and after July ] until
late fall / give this out so that
the banks may know in advance OF
making their arrangements for
money for the dull season, that in
all probability the state will have
very satisfactory deposits with each
of the repositories"
Mr.. StovalI states furthermore
that while the June distribution of
the school fund will make heavy
demands on him, he is satisfied he
will have almost enough money to
pay the teachers during June. He
expects the railroads will pay their
taxes, long held up in the courts.
within short while. amounting to
about 500, 900. and that the money
for privilege taxes. all due in May
will get to the treasury in time to
pay off the teachers without wait
ing for the money from the sale of
the million and a quarter bonds.

that did not prove a good year"
We reported this statement to
Prof Riley. entomoloqist of the
agricultural department. who ex-
pressed the opinion that there was
some other insect that invaded the
field in advance of the cotton lice,
that we're followed and destroyed
by that insect. as is the case under
wise and mysterious providentiaI
intervention IN many other in
stances. He promised to come to
our county and investigate the
matter. but was killed by a fall
from his bicycle a few days after
his conference. Almost all plant
plaques and devastations are in
sectiverous in their nature. includ-
ing rust, and all insects are to a
certain extent bellIgerent and car
nivorous and we are doubtless often
saved from material blight and
loss by the triumph of the least
harmful army of insect invaders
over the more destructive class.
