Toe Lexington Dispatch - Wednesday, September 24,1902. TEE STATS DEFICIT. Receipts Will Fall Away Be Iliad Expenditures. State Treasurer Sees No Way Out But Increase the Levy or Reduce Expenses All Around. The fact has already been referred to tV?o fi+ofo'a finan#?p? ftTfi in SUCh a ! u?8 WiiU UVUUV w W ? condition that extreme economy will v%,"~ have to be practiced by the next legislature, and even with further investigation conditions show that there will have to be an increased levy or a reduction in expenses some|| where if ends are made to meet v> The total appropriations in round Bombers amounted to $1,136,000. On a levy of 5 mitt* it is expected that $950,000 will be produced. The other revenue will be about $25,000 from insurance and about $8,000 ^ _ i from fees from toe secretary 01 State's office which is a large falling off compared with the previous year when the fees amounted to about $40,000. This is explained by the faot that last year there were an ex_ traordinary large number of new enterprises with big capital stocks. .While the number is equally as large this year the total amount invested does not come up to what it did previously. The total revenue of the State then will be in the neighborhood $983,000, making a deficit of $153,000. To this must be added several other sums as certain small appropriations saoh as interest on old * i bonds, etc., were made year Deiore last, which are payable oat of this , years receipts. Under these circamstanceB Treas- < nrer Jenning finds that he will be compelled to borrow the fall amount allowed by law, $300*00. Last year he had only to borrow $140,000, some of which mast be paid back by this year's taxes. The cash balance in the treasury year before last was $165,000 and last year $99,000. Thus it will be seen that the finances of the State have been gradually going backward until now it comes to be a question whether the levy shall be increased or not. It will be a hard matter to find any particular plan where expenses may be cut down unless there is a general cut down all around. x There is one hopeful feature about it that there have heretofore been some extraordinary ^expenses which will not be necessary this year, and these were such as State house appropriation, exposition appropriation and the like. x The increased pension appropriation will undoubtedly stand as there is no chance of a backward step being taken in that direction. Viewing it in the best light Treasurer Jennings can see nothing favorable in the outlook, and the legislature will have the most eeriem problem that has confronted that body in years to solve in a satisfactory manner to all the interests unsolved. ? # ?

Kaufmarm. The Negro Euled Out. Birmingham, Ala., Sept. 15?The Republican executive committee refused the admittance of negro delegates to the State convention, which meets tomorrow. This action was the result of several hours' struggle today between those of the new regime, known as the Lily Whites, and those not in favor of barring out the negroes. The elimination of the negro was accomplished through the passage of i a resolution adopting the report of the sub-committee which was appointed at the meeting of the full committee on Saturday, and which bad considered all contests and passed upon all credentials presented by delegates throughout the StateWhen this report was read today not a single negro's name appeared upon it, although on the list of delegates from more than one county there were the names of negroes when the AK/./1nnfin1a rrmfa fliuan tn (ho Qnh. ^ICUCiitiaiO ff Oic giTyu v\s vuv ww committee for action. Immediately following a resolution to adopt the report as a whole there came from several parts of the house protests of vehement nature. These protests kept coming in so fast that at one time it looked as though the resolution could not be passed. However, the resolution was finally adopted by a vote of 17 to 10.

A number of prominent and wellto-do negroes met in Columbia recently and after a full and free discussion, decided to ask permission to join the Democratic party.

Four days ago cotton pickers, four men and three womeD, went to work on the patch where the poison had been applied. Late in the evening they became sick and during the night all are reported to have died. Their death is said to be caused by inhaling the dust from the poison.
