Jackson, Miss., December 28,1899. To His Excellency, A. J. McLaurin, Governor of Mis sissippi : Sir: I have the honor to submit a report of the transactions of this office for the period from October 1st, 1897, to September 30th, 1899, together with some data relating to the biennial period 1896-1897, that could not be prepared for last report, and including all charters recorded to 15th inst. The report is intend ed to exhibit not only the work of the office for the past two years, but also to present a general summary for the full term of four years. The commissions issued and recorded from January 21,1896, to December 28,1899, number 5,155. Of these 3,580 were to officers elected by the people; 1,575 to of ficers appointed by the Governor. The appointive of ficers include: state officers ...... 3 United States Senators ...... 2 Judges of the Supreme Court...... 2 Circuit Judges...... 12 Chancellors...... 9 District Attorneys ...... 4 Trustees of Educational and Benevolent Institutions 119 State Boards of Health, Pharmacy and Dentistry.. 25 Levee Commissioners ...... 37 Commissioners of Deeds ...... 45 Notaries Public ...... 185 County Officers ...... 420 Municipal Officers...... 172 The commissions to military officers, though attest ed, are not recorded in this office. These will appear in the report of the Adjutant General. For the four years 1896-1899, they numbers 687. Of these 141 were to officers in the Spanish-American war, and 233 in the re-organized National Guard. The charters recorded for Corporations during the viii REPORT OF SECRETARY OF STATE. four years number 565. Of these, 46 were to Manu facturing Companies, 66 to Mercantile Companies, 41 to Banks, 24 to Telephone Companies, 22 to Gin Com panies, 21 Lumber Companies, 24 Oil Mills, 6 Cotton Mills, 13 Bailroads, 5 Street railways, 7 Water and Light Companies. Most of the Cotton Mill charters were granted during the present year. The uniform fee for passing upon and recording charters is $3.00, so that the total fees for the four years amount to the insignificant sum of $1,695.00. In asmuch as these fees go into the Treasury, I most re spectfully and earnestly renew the recommendation made in my last report that a schedule of fees for char ters be adopted, as in most of the other States, dis criminating between corporations for profit and those for social, fraternal and benevolent purposes. I sub mit that no charter be considered for a less fee than Five Dollars, and that the fees for corporations for profit be regulated by a maximum and minimum sche dule, or by a per cent. on capital. Where the last named plan obtains in other States the fee varies from one-fourth to one per cent. A New Jersey corpora tion, for instance, has eight millions of its capital em ployed in Illinois, and, for this, eight thousand dollars was paid into the office of Secretary of State. The to tal fees paid by corporations for charters in Illinois for 1897 and 1898 amounted to $424,101.86. These were derived mostly from foreign and domestic corpora tions, anti-trust affidavits and notary public commis sions. The graduated charter fees of New Jersey yielded a revenue of $758,000 for the fiscal year ending November 1st, 1899. The aggregate of Capital Stock incorporated in Mis sissippi during the past four years amounts to $25,- 644,000. They would not object, and they should be required, to pay a reasonable fee for the clerical labor involved and for the protection afforded by the laws of the State. In most of the States, Notaries Public pay a com mission fee. During the four years 185 were appoint ed. As it is an office “for revenue only” and, to the ex tent they collect fees, diminish the perquisites that would otherwise be realized by elected officers, clerks REPORT OF SECRETARY OP STATE. ix and justices of the peace, I recommend that a fee of five dollars be charged each appointee for his term of four years. This would not materially decrease the number of applications for the office, and would add about two hundred and fifty dollars per annum to the public revenue. Inquiries are frequently received from corporations in other States asking for the laws governing foreign corporations in this State, especially as to the record ing of their charters, the fees for same, etc., and citi zens of this State make frequent inquiries for copies of such charters. I suggest that provision be made for the filing in the office of Secretary of State of the charters of foreign corporations, and that a nominal fee be charged therefor.
Guaranty AND SURETY COMPANIES.
Under the Acts of 1894 and 1896, Guaranty and Surety Companies pay a privilege tax of one-hundred dollars per annum to the Auditor; are required to be licensed from this office on the first of April annually, and their annual statements are made and filed in this office. I submit that the Auditor’s receipt and the license by Secretary of State, should be of even date. Indeed, the license by Secretary of State might be dis pensed with and the annual statement should be filed with the Auditor, as in the case of all other Insurance Companies I suggest, also, that Surety Companies be required to file an annual statement showing amount of premiums received, losses paid, losses incurred and amount of risks. As many of the bonds of public officers and others are now made by Surety Companies, and the indica tions being that most bonds will hereafter be made in this way, the privilege tax of one hundred dollars is ex ceedingly moderate compared with the tax required of fire, life and accident insurance companies. They should each pay at least two hundred and fifty dollars per annum. The risk, compared with fire companies, is trifling, and the annual statement of all guaranty companies show substantial increase of capital. There are seventy-seven insurance companies, of all X REPORT OF SECRETARY OF STATE. kinds, doing business in Mississippi. The risks they carry, and the premiums they collect amount to many millions of dolars annually—an interest that would seem to demand special supervision, rather than being made an “annex” of the Auditor’s office or of the office of Secretary of State.
RECEIPTS.
The receipts of this office from all source from Sep tember 30,1897 to September 30,1899, are as follows: Laws of Mississippi...... $ 150.65 Sales Annotated Code.... 500.30 Sales Mississippi Reports 928.00 Recording Charters, Commissioners of Deeds, etc...... 1,135.65 From Treasurer, from September 30,1897, to Sep tember 30, 1899 ...... 1,925.58 Prom other sources...... 75.18 $4,715.36
DISBURSEMENTS.
Receipt Warrants $ 500.30 Receipt Warrants 928.00 Receipt Warrants 150.65 Receipt Warrants 1,135.65 Miscellaneous, Capitol repairs, supplies, postage, express, etc., as per vouchers on file...... 2,011.04 $4,725.64 Leaving amount due Secretary of State on September 30, 1899 $ 10.28 Since the price of the Annotated Code was reduced to $1.00,1882 copies have been sold and that many dol lars paid into the Treasury. There are still several thousand copies on hand; many more than can be sold before it becomes necessary to make another. I re commend that where copies of the Code, distributed to public officers immediately after publication, have been lost or destroyed, or seriously damaged by use, that the Secretary of State be authorized to supply others on a proper showing by the parties applying. Al so, that copies be distributed to the County Superin tendents of Education and to the schools in separate districts in which State History and Civics are taught. Copies of Hilgard’s and Harper’s Geological Re REPORT OP SECRETARY OF STATE. xi ports—both published prior to 1865—have been freely distributed to the University, A. & M. College and other Institutions and individuals so far as applied for. There are several hundred of each report still on hand. There are no copies of Waile’s Geology in the Capitol. The Supreme Court Reporter, Hon. T. A. McWillie, has delivered to this office 75th and 76th Mississippi Reports—100 copies of each—and they were imme diately distributed as the law directs. I recommend that Circuit Judges and Chancellors and District At torneys be hereafter included in the distribution. The surplus copies each year, that have to be stored away, will justify this increase in the distribution. Five hundred copies of Mississippi Digest by Brame & Alexander, were received and 135 copies distribut ed as directed in the Act of 1896; leaving 365 copies on hand. The Secretary of State is not authorized to sell the Digest, and perhaps should not be until the compilers realize enough from private sales to reim burse them for their great outlay in time and money in its publication. I recommend that after January 1st, 1902, the Digest may be sold by the State, at a price to be then fixed, unless in the meantime the supply in the hands of the publishers may become exhausted. It is further recommended, that a copy be sent to each State Library in exchange for public documents re ceived from them. From several of the States we re ceive many valuable volumes and the courtesy should be reciprocated to the full extent of our publications. I respectfully renew the recommendation in my last report that the time for the printing and distribution of the laws and journals be reduced one-half. The law allows three months for the laws and four months for the journals. Any publisher, competent to undertake the work, can get the laws and journals out in sixty days. With few exceptions, the laws take effect from their passage, and hence they should be printed with the utmost dispatch. Fast presses and sharp competi tion will get them out within the time indicated. Be cause it took from four to six months, half a century ago, to print the laws and journals, is no reason why that schedule should be perpetuated. xii REPORT OF SECRETARY OF STATE. I further recommend that the contracts for printing he changed from two to four years, and for stationery from one to two years. This would justify home print ers in competing and equipping for the work. On a two year’s contract, most of them would have to ex pend for materials any probable profits on the work. With such change in the law, at least a dozen Missis sippi establishments would be competitors, and this would doubtless insure as low figures as were secured under the present contract. Indeed, competition for all State printing should be restricted to Mississippi printers, who are, as a class, the most deserving of, and the least remembered in, public favors. Section 3314 of the Code requires that the Board of Public contracts shall read the proofs of all public printing. The Secretary of State being President and Secretary of the Board, his training and experience as a publisher and proof-reader have been severely tested during the past four years. Quarantine interruptions during the last three years have so delayed getting De partment Reports to press, that it is only by working late into the nights that the Secretary and his deputy can keep up with the typesetting machines and steam presses now being operated by an expert force in the establishment of the contractors in Jacksonville, Fla. So that it is quite difficult to keep up with the usual demands upon the office. The Secretary of State should be allowed a special deputy for at least four months in each legislative year. Much time has been given, and about fifty dollars expense incurred, in assorting, shelving and boxing the great mass of pamphlets, books and valuable papers that have covered the floors of the old library. Code room and Senate gallery for many years. Several tons of trash—the accumulation of half a century—was de stroyed, and their burning helped to purify the atmos phere around the Capitol during the quarantine sea son. Several copies of laws and journals of ancient dates, and not in the State Library, 'have thus been secured for its shelves. Several wagon loads of valuable documents, hur riedly removed from the third floor of the Capitol to the Penitentiary in January, 1896, are still at REPORT OF SECRETARY OP STATE. xiii the prison. The documents had been carefully boxed and labeled several years before being removed; and when I learned of their exposed condition, I had them reboxed, but in the meantime many of the papers had been taken by visitors to the prison. At least two wagon loads of these documents are assessment rolls and vouchers pertaining to the Auditor’s office, which are often needed in investiga tions by that office. Some provision should be made for re-assorting and classifying these documents be fore they are forever lost. Among the documents thus removed was the manuscript copy of our State Consti- tution of 1817 and the original order of Governor Rob ert Williams for the arrest of Aaron Burr, directed to Col. Fitzpatrick and dated February 10, 1807. These were rescued by our State Librarian, Mrs. Bell, as the documents were thrown by convicts from the window of the third floor into the wagons in rear of the library. The Capitol building has been kept habitable by fre quent patchings of the roof, and recently considerable repairs had to be made, as much of the sheet iron had been devoured by rust. The total expenditures on the roof for the last four years has not amounted to more than two hundred dollars. The cost of lighting is more than it should be, con sidering the amount of gas consumed, but as there is only one lighting plant in the city, we have to accept the established rate. With a lively appreciation of your uniform and un varying kindness and courtesy during the four years of our official relations, I remain. Governor, Very Respectfully and Cordially Yours, J. L.

Inasmuch as the census of 1900 will certainly give Mississippi one additional represntative in congress, a map of the districts as now constituted, with the tables accompanying, will assist in recasting the dis tricts so as to provide for eight representatives. The ratio of representation in the house of representa tives, based on the eleventh census, 1890, is one member for 173,901 of population. The population in 1890 was 1,289,600. The increase in population from 1880 to 1890 was a fraction under 14 per cent., so that if the same rate of increase ob tains for the decade now closing, the census of 1900 will show 180,500 addition al, or a total population of 1470,500. The present ra tio commenced in 1893 and ends 1903. All of the data following is from the census of 1890, except the two columns to the right. Material changes have been made in several counties since 1890, and these must be considered in considering the registered vote of 1896, and the total polls for 1898. A nearly complete table of the registra tion in 1899 appears elsewhere. 118

The State University at Oxford; the Agricultural and Mechan ical College, at Starkville; the Industrial Institute and College, at Columbus—all for whites—give free tuition at expense of State; the Alcorn A. & M, College, near Rodney, and the State Normal School at Holly Springs—both for colored—also give free tuition at expense of the State. Tougaloo University, near Jack- son, the Jackson College, and Shaw University, at Holly Springs —all supported by church and missionary societies of the North are each full to overflowing by colored youth aspiring to higher education. The two Agricultural Colleges receive liberal annual aid from the “Morrill Fund.” Mississippi has some of the best male and female colleges in the Southwest—most of them under denominational control, and all well attended. Comparatively few of the youth of Mississippi now find it necessary to go to other States for education.
Mississippi’s Health Record—Other Facts,
Mississippi has a health record that should command the spe cial attention of home-seekers. The following figures are from the census of 1890;
ANNUAL DEATH BATE FOR EACH THOUSAND OF POPULATION, Average for the United States 15.09 Missouri...... 16.89 Tennessee ...... 16.80 Indiana...... 15.77 Texas...... 15.53 Kansas...... 15.22 Alabama...... 14.20 Kentucky...... 14.39 Illinois ...... 14.60 Colorado...... 13.10 Georgia...... 13.97 Mississippi...... 12.89 These figures include deaths among all classes of the popula tion, white and colored. The area of State is 46,810 square miles, or 29,958,400 acres; improved acres. 5.216.937. The number of farms, (census 1890), 144,318; average size, 122 acres. The average size in former census, (1880), was 156 acres; in 1870, 193 acres; in 1860, 370 acres. In 1869 there were only 42,840 farms; so that there are 101,478 more farms in 1890 than in 1860. The census of 1890 gave a total population of 1,280,600—an increase of 158,003, or 13.96 per cent, since 1880. The present population is estimated at 1,400,600. The census of 1900 will show a total of 1,600,000. There are 2,507 miles of railroad in the State—three main lines from North to South, three from East to West, with several shorter lines. Other roads now building or projected, will give ample transportation facilities to every section of the State, The service on all the roads is good, and passenger ana freight rates reasonable.
