I YAtrABgLE DATA BY - - " BROwra?(Continued from page 1) $20,000 to aid in better school buildings Is in the same boat and I feel i Sure that, both these - laws will be amended, as both these acts are accomplishing entirely too much good tojk any General Assembly to be willi infe to abandon them. This makes a total increase which will neeeeaarily come in the next appropriation bill of $145,000. So that the next appropriation bill should carry $83,466 less than the present one. Add to this the Increased taxes which should be reecived from the amendment in the Refunding Act and the State should be to the good another year $122,000. This praetically covers, as I see it, the financial status of the State? which certainly is not bad. There are a number of changes which should be made in our laws that would add to the revenues of our State and not detract, from the efficiency of the government. There are some others where economy could be practiced without injury to the public service. By the purhcase of a half-dozen typewriters and amending the law re quiring an woucuors to De in tne Engrossing department, the expenses here could be cut to $3,000. This winter we arranged to make an effort through our senators and representatives to get the National Government to take over the care of the Catawba Indians and if this succeeds it will relieve the appropriation bill annually of $6,200. As I have been able to find It, the -greatest -single economy that could be effected woudl be in public printing Very few officials understand the basis upon which this Is done. Certainly the Governor does not, because In his veto message he used the following language: . "I disapprove of Item 17, Section 34, because the contract was duly entered Into In good faith by the public printers, providing that tbls work should be done for a STATED STTM, and it is not .rlfcht; neither is it legal or Just to tax the people oi luis OLaie ?o,:>uu.n auauionat wnen the contract provides that the work Should be done for a specified amount" As a matter of fact this contract Is NOT for a specified amount, but is so much per page printed, I am thoroughly satisfied (that if the reports of all the herfds of the departments had to be edited and vell duplicate matter cut out and also all unnecessary matter eliminated, the State could save between ten and fifteen thousand dollors. This Is one Instance where a now office, even if we had to pay the official a good salary, could save the State a considerable sum. Every Head of a Department seems to feel that he must make "his irdport as long as possible, they array page aftfr page of figures that no 000 reads and which very probably they theirtselvea do not understand. The important part of all these reports could be embodied In ^he re port of the Comptroller General. All tneesafrea from the Governor are priced by the publlo printed three Urate?flyst, to the temporary Journal of the House or flenate .and then In w* ' ito a| T7 9 HpH i r mm mm ?Y ? n Feast tune to s blic. of our Spring pure /e we had such ar elf of the great op] r and Children's Di FULL YARD WIDE TAFFET I'AH LIKE- FRENCH MRSSA WIDE.

I A great manjr citizens complain of > high taxes and sometimes I feel that I they are justified in so- doing, and (yet we must remember that the peo\ pie now require more of the governj ment than they did years ago. To 11' lustrate?many voters can remember I when managers of elections received no pay, while for this year they will cost the State $45,485, and Justly so | because the State (pas no right to call f upon its citizens to perform services , without remuneration. Many can reremember when Wlnthrop was not in existence at all; now it is a magniI cent institution educating nearly eight hundred of our daughters. The Unij ver8ity formerly aocommodated about ; 150 students, now it furnishes a very ' superior education to about 400. The I Citadel had a capacity of 160. how it is J enlarged until annually 350 of our i sons can and will be accommodated i there. A few years ago the State gave us aid to our common schools, , and now she annually helps them to i the tune of $145,000?and no money i la expended for a better cause. I might, touch on other phases of governmental expenditure, but I have already made 'this article too long. In conclusion, Mr. Editor, allow me to say that T desire to return to my fellow citizens of Union county, my j sincere thanks for tbe honors which they have conferred upon me, and i while I have not accomplished all that , I desire for my state, I trust that they i will credit me with having done all 1 that it was possible for me to do with ' he capacities with which I have been endowed. Very respectfully, K. Lowndes J, Browning. AT THE OPERA HOUSE.
