The first, matter considbred is
THE PUBLIC DEbT,
ityhllch is now $6,522,188.54, co'usisting
of Brown consols, valid Green consols,
deficiency bonds, and agricultural land
scrip.
THE UlEVENUES OF TUE SrATE.
The total revenues.of the State and
counties for the fiscal year commenc- t
ing November 1, 1883, n as about $2,
089,000, of which about $1,936,000 was
raise(d by taxation, and $153,000 from
phosphate rQyalty. P'he collection of
the taxes was unusually full and satis
factory, nearly 98 per cent. of the
assessed State tax having been collect
ed, and nearly 86 per cent. having been
paid into the treasury. The net re
ceipt for each mill Nlvied was $145,000,
being an Increase of $4,000 over the
preceding year, and $25,000 over the
year 1878-'9. The taxes for the fiscal
year 1884-85 are now being collected,
and the result cannot, therefore, be
reported. The levy amounts to $1,
8:31,494, divided as Iillows: b'or State,
- 841,526; for counties, $677,148, and
for schools, $312,820, not inlcluding
polls.
( .It Is eatimaled Ihut it will reunire
$403.000 to meet the ornliarv ex
penl&es of the Governtnent for the fiscal
year 18885-80, and $391,000 to par ihe
linterest on the public debt. 'these
amounts will be increased by such
additional appropriations as inny be
required by legislation, and will be
decreased by the phosphate royalty
and1(1 alny surplits that may remai'n in
the trcaurv. As these alinonil aIre
rontimgent, ai consequent ly :n nknowI
he necessary levy can only be deter-'
mined when the eiieraI Assemlbl v
prepares the ttnnlual supply bill.
T'IIE '11(SISIIA'TI ROYALTY.
The phospl)hate royalty for the yera i
enin g 3() Septembi er, 1 885>, amwoin t
ing to $176,241.11, has b)teen colleclted
in full- being the largest sum yet cov- I
ered into the treaury from this source. I
The y-ield for the year en(mtinr 30 Sp
tenher, 1886, will probably not exceed
$150,000.
1)ISAInEI) SOLDItS.
Coinnenting upon the recoinenda
tion ofthe Coinptroller, tlnt $30,0004an
iually be app."opriatedt 1or a pension
of $30 each to disabled soldiers, the
GoVernor says: "h'le State can never
fully discharge her oblibrations to the
brave men who, in obelience to )ler
call, have sulivd permnln(ellt injury in
health or in limb; but she should con
t.ribute, if possible, to the alleviation
of the waits of such of them as are
without the means of supporli, and are
Incapacitated for milantal labor by
reasoni of diStalbililies incurred1 in th'e
dtischlarge of ditty. While those who
can claim this recognition of services
to the State (iminish in unber each
year, the infirmities of the survivors
andl their nieed for help, conistanltly ii
crease."
TrIrE TAx L.aws.
Th'le G*overnor recomimenids a careful

to greate-r simplicity anid efieiency.

preceding year; andc the number of'a
schools was 3,562, beiing an inicrease of
eighty over then number- in op)erationi c
dutrinig thie y*ear 1883-84. The length t
of thie school term wvas three andl a I
half months, a decrease of half a

Vhen a Northern farlate- passes
Itliough the Southern Status, he is sur- p
prisec, and pained-if of a sensitive
nature-to see so many keemingly bar- co
ron fleld,; bare, excepting when cov- al
cred with the prevailing brown sedge al
of the various, exceedingly poor, f
Creeping ilants called Japan clover,
which includlc several.kiuds of Lespe- n
dcza. These old fields are scarred
with gullics, or washes, caused by the
heavy ralins, which loosen (the fin~c red b
clay and carry it down the slopes.
Naturally, a stranger thinks these bar- ltr
ren fields to be worn out and worth- w
less. This is a g.teat mistake. They at
are turned out t(, rest, while a pieco of c
new ground is cleared and cultivated, di,
ald aftler a time takes its turn of rest,
and the old field is plowed up and 1
cropped again. This is the Southern C1
substitue for mlanure, an(d is rcal l b ab
method-an exceedingly poor one, i is
true--of fillowing. These fields have
never been plowed, to use this word a
3 in its true seuse. ley have been A.l
scratched over, but the soil has never tI
I been turned, a(1 when a Northern nm
i famer, Or" an twatkened1 Southern gc
planter, tears up this soil with a good tit
- turnmig plow, and seeds it dlown to
grass and clover, tlie yield Is quite
e<iual to that of a good field on a U1
Northern farin. The writer has a
field of thirty acres of clover and Tim
othy on land of this character, broken sr
up last summer (1884), in August, W
plowed twice, barrowed up three si
Stinus, and sown with the clover and th1
. grass alone. 'This has been niowed as
twice for hay, yielding, in all, three W
tons per alcre, and t he aftermath is
now (No%emher) knee-hige, and would nt
iralke the finest pasture, were it not atI
saved for Iurlling uinder in the spring. do
