Some place tlie figures at five, oilier

Will the farmer think of il ? Will
the increased crop of cotton make tin-

/ i/iY.ics .1 Uni mi X firs :
The aduiinislrntioii of Governor
f'olqiiilt is Hie most brilliant ii ml
siii'eessful one, liiiain'iiilly, that Ilie
Stale lias ever known. There is no
oilier administration that can com
pare to il in this respect. AY lieu lie
eaioe into otfiee Ilie Stale was bor
rowing ♦.’kVl.UIH every year lo carry
her flouting debt. Every General
Assembly had lo authorize the Gov
ernin' lo borrow this nmoiilof money
to carry Hie Slate during the siiinmar
inoiilhs. Not only has lliis floating
debt been wiped out, but ns is
seen in order published in another
column, there is a surplus in the
Slate Treasury which the Gov
ernor has ordered to he appropriated
to buy ing tip outstanding bonds. A
qiiarler ol a million of Slate indebt
edness, hcy'nml the regular install
ments falling due this year, will be
paid out of tlie surplus money in the
Treasury. It must lie remembered
Hint Ihl-improvement of tlie Slate
finances lias been made in a period of
general financial depression.
The rate of taxation when the Gov
ernor came in was SO cents on the
hundred dollars. Il has been reduc
ed al :t'> cents on Ilie hundred dollars,
a reduction alone saving Ilie lux-
payers u quarter of a million of dol
lars yearly. The credit of the State
lias heel! advanced to the highest
noleli. standing upon equality wilh
Hie best gilt-edge securities of the
world.
The outside money that lins been
put into Hie treasury during thoGov-
ernor's administration, due solely to
Hie activity and zeal of himself ami
his agents, thus relieving the burdens
of taxation, lias been in round niim-
bers $270,000 collected from the Uni
led States Government on claims that
has been hanging for a half century,
| and $I27>.000collected ns taxes from
Hie railroads of the Slate, making nil
aggregate of $400,000 Hint has been
l brought in.
i The economy that has been shown
in every department ol the (state
j Government, lias been most gratify-
j ing. The contingent mid siukitig
| funds have been reduced otie-lialf.—
■' < The Slate Lunatic Asylum has saved
is | $25.0110 a year on old expenditures,
and the General Assembly increased
the accumulations of Hie institution
out of Hie savings.
Il i" a rare thing Hint Hie funds ap
propriated lor tlie various purposes
meet the demands. In examining
the last Comptroller’s report for 1879
we find that tlie following amouuts
reverted In the State Treasury saved
by commercial management: Acad
emy for the Blind, $375; contingent
fund, $4.451.52; Printing fund, $2,-
888.74; Stationery for General As-
•embly, $83.68. These facts show the
uniform economy that has marked
tliis conspicuously successful financial
administration.
It is not known for a certainty as
vel if Col. Bcnfroe will he a candi
date for State Treasurer. If he
and he is being pressed by many of
Ihe best men iii she State for the use
of Ids name before tlie convention, lie
will undoubtedly be supported by the
party with a zeal. For no officer has
ever filled the place with such mark
ed success mul ability, and when the
people of the State know ull Ihe facts
in the case of State Treasurer, J. W.
Iteiifroe will be a formidable candi
date. He lias a bold on the people,
and if he wants the office, I believe
lie is tlie choice of Ilie people.

there is now in Ilie Treasury al leusl

disposition could not lie made there
of that would he more remunerative.
I mil clearly of the opinion Hint this
large sum can be used under section
958 of tho code to great advantage.—
All the 4 per cent, bonds now out
standing can at once be redeemed at
par; anil, perhaps, some bearing a
larger rato of interest than Hint. The
prompt redemption of the 4 per cents
will savo the State $li.00tl per annum

Hills saving to tlie State $:I0,I)0U.
I therefore respectfully request Hull
von pass the proper order authorizing

State as may be taken up at par, as
prescribed by section 958 of tlie code.

In this department there 1ms been,

per annum; under the prosent ad
ministration they amount to $5,200, a
reduction of $1,050 per annum, which
goes into the Treasury. The clerical
expenses tinder the old administra
tion were $0,300 per annum; under
the present they are $4,20(1, a saving
in this respect of $2,100 of the annua!
appropriation, to he devoted to other
purposes. Adding these two sums
together, there is a saving of $3,750
in the aggregate amount paid in sal
aries to the inspectors, and clerks in
Ihe department proper.
The income from the inspection of
fertilizers for the season of 1878-9 was
$43,000; in 1379-80 it is about $55,000,
an increase of $12,000. The number
of tons inspected in 1878-9 was 86,-
000; during the present season—1879
30—110,000 tons have been inspected.
From rvesent indications, very lit
tle comtucrcial manure will be car
ried over this season. Under this
supposition, adding the 10,000 tons
carried over last season to the 110,0(40
tons inspected this season, and the
prohahle consumption this season
will reach 120.001) tons.
The Commissioner, appreciating
the importance of, and the benefit to
he derived from, Ihe general intro-
doction of improved seeds, has dis
tributed this spring 74 bushels of im
proved cotton seed, 12 bushels of
corn, besides oats, cabbage, tobacco
seed, and other varieties of lens im
portance. The bulk of these seed
have been sent lo the various agri-
llural clubs and societies in the
Slate, and to individuals who have
agreed lo carefully test them and re
port results to the liepartment when
the crops mature.
A m:tiiii:il on Cattle liaising in
Georgia is in process of preparation,
mid will he published during the ap
proaching summer. This is a work
that is much needed, and will prove
of immense service to tlie farmers of
the .Slate. No hook has been pub
lished on this important subject by
any author living hoiiIIi of .New York.
The preparation of this manual has
been delayed by the unusual pressure
of work in connection with the
sped ion and analysis of fcrlili;
which has been nearly 30 per cent
heavier than ever before.
The Commissioner of Agriciiltur
Col. J. T. Henderson, is rendering tin
1 »epaifluent universally popular, and
from the above facts and figures cv
erv tanner in Georgia will agre
Willi me, and deservedly so, that his
arrangements of the Uepartiuent ur
complete and perfect. His whole
■vlndv seems lo be lor something to
benefit the farmihg class of peopt
the Stale, for their protection in tin 1
in- pection of fertilizers. His Aytdcin
has not only given to thn Slate
large remunerating harvest to the
Ticiinmy, hut his crop reports
complete, and of an immense benefit
to the practical farmer.
