They, too, are elected by the people and would have to give an -account of their stewardship to the people. I would also suggest that the county 1ljpeusore be elected by the people as other county ofhizers are elected and for a -term ol two years. 'Tbese changes are suggested uot only because in my judgment the'y would improve the admintratiou of the law, but on the g roundl of ecot.omy. I tegyet that 1. have not the tigures for the last tilscal year. They could not be obtain-ed on account of the assembling of the Legislature coming so near to the. ciose of the tical year. Tie tigures, powqvr, will not be Iate'ially d IT 'r out from those of the fiseal year 1S"9. so far as_ the county boards are eeon c6rnd,%, but the cost of the State boarJ will undoubtedly b-. very much in ereased. In this year the tota cost of the county boards was $9-' 22 2 1-' or the same year the cost of the Sat-' board of control was $1 10. W Ill ma-kes a total of $14,144.21 as the cst o(the State. and county boards O ?eOn trol, and which Iy their abo.Von would be turned into the prolits o the dispen)Sary. I woul also suge t that the law be sto amiended as to bring v' .ations witnin the jurisdictioni of ie magistrates. o that, ail cases5 might he promptly and stinjinaruiy itijudicated. Much of the expel..s2 of the constabulary arises from having, to atuend circuit courts as wit nesses and probecLItors against blind tigers. Soon after I came into otfice I re dueert the constabuiary force nearly one-half, and endeavored as far as I icnew and could secure information to seleet .uen of character and dizerction t~o perforil the duti s of State Con stables. As public sentinivit, grows in favor of t.he law and magistrates and teir constables and other ollicers real iz- that it, is as much their duty to en force this as any o:her la-v, I am sati - lied that tie force can be st il furutnil r redi uced and finally entirely acelished. )aring the past year I issued a cir euar letter to all the matgistrates and lhe riTs of the State and the mayors and intendants of the incorporated citIes and towns, calling their atten timn to the fact that the dispensary law was as miuch a law of the State as aiy ot her law and a!it) directinz their attertion to their dty to enforeu it just as they would tee statute against O arciy or any tthe' er me and asking thteir aid and co-opeirauAon in the wise aid humane excution of all laws. The rCS)eI, were nu eiCrous and unani imou in ex p)reS5ionS of hearty co-opera tion. Smile of them were frank enough to say t.h..t they had been and were op to the dispensary law, but maoly enoingh to acknowledge it as a law of th, ,ate and to pledge their sup port and co-ot.-ration in it.s proper enforce mn01t. I am sati.tiod that th is cr-ular ( re,ulted in good, and that in many of the cities and towns the locAl au thorities are doing what they can to apprehend v iolator. and that there are Itower Violations of the tdis pe: nsary law thlan of many other laws now on the statute books. Mr. W. W. llarris, who is clerk and is in charge of this department under my dieI etion, in hiis report to me says: l';iert is less compijlainit of tire illiit tralli: in iiquor coinig to thtis oilir2' fromti througlinut, t he StLate thIan evr tiofore dutring tihe live years I have iee o cn neuttted wi ith th is dce par t nien t,, andi it is veriy cv idenit that, therne is less v itolationi of the di i~naary law overi the entiret State. withn the piossible ex cep tion of the city of Cn ari eston and two or three of Liibe cotunities i ,the north west portion of the State, and it is probiable that even in those sectionu .there~ has been imi)provemen.

Iub inut herew ith a table showing the coim parativye cost, and the work dtine by Lhbe rea;ucedl noumb er of constaibles for- the last -ix months oif I lie and the corres-, ponding six months oif 1tt.

Tnese ligures include the cost of buggy hire, railroadl fare for the con stables, and the salary of the clerk to Governr r. I am glad to be ab'e to state that during my term of oIli :e with but, one ex ce ption there has been no conflict between the constiables and cItizens, and in this exceptioin oneO constable was= kicled and another weunded and oe. citiz-n was xibied. This unfortu ni te trou ble cannot any more be charg .:to the dispensary law than could a nar dilliculty in the enforcement of a-yother law be argued against it.

SIRRINE, Supt. - THE CANNIBALS IN THE CONGO Siaught er ofNatives Who Were Baked and Eaten by the Troops. A special to the New York Times from Nashville, Tenn., sayS: The Southern Presbyterian board of missions in this city rceived ietters today from the R sv. L. C. Vase and the Rev. H. P. Hawkins, missionaries of the church etationed at Luebo, Congo Free State, Africa, giving accounts of the burning of 14 villages and the kili ing of 90 or more natives by state troops. They report that some of the victims were eaten by cannibals and that the bodies of all wbo were slain were mutilated, their heads having been cut off. Mr. Vass was formerly of Newbern, N. C., and has been engaged in mission work at Luebo since Fahruary 18. 1899. Mr. Hlawkins was formerly of Vicks burg, Miss. Mr. Vass states that tidings of raiding by the Zippo Z ips in the Bena Kamba country having reached thb m, and the work of the mis sionarica being threatened, the Rev. W. H. Sheppard was sent to make an investigation. IHo went to the Z.appc Zips' camp and found that 14 viitages had been destroyed by fire and plun dered. He saw 47 bodIes lying round the camp. From three bodies the flash had been carved and eaten. The chief said that 80 or 90 had been killed and five persons eaten by his people. Mr. Sheppard saw 80 right hand~s cut off and dryir~g over a slow. fire, in order to be afterward taken b ic-k to the state officers. Sixty wo men prisoners were con fined in a pen and 16 me n had already ben sent aw.ty prisoners. It Is said the raid was ordered be cause the people could not pay the exorbitant tribute demanded by the stat~e. The mieslonaries state tbat they re ported the matter to the proper oill cis andi de'manded the withdrawal of the troops, and that the chief institut ed a coulter peosecution On account of trhe charges made. T'he missionaries futrther sa~y the Z .ppo ZA sps are a tribe kept by the state for its protection. They are sent out to collect rubber, ivory, slav(8 and goats. as tribute from~ the people, and cac then plunder, burn and kill for their own amusemnrot and gain. The missionaries say they are cot lecting evidence about the massucre, and will send It to B -mr and t.' E' rope Mr. Vass says : " The whole country is plagued, and not a village lefta standing. The people are in the huah. ronight in a radius of about, 75 miles there are possibly over 80,000 people steeping in the busha unsheltered, and we are in the midst of a rainy season, The state is a terror to cvery one." --On the occasion of John D. R ce feller's visit to his country house at Tarrytown, he distributed lve-dollar gold pieces among all the workmen on the place and all the railroad employes at the erstion.
