The report estimates the revenue of the state for 1909 at $4,041,598.71; the > i revenue for 1908 was $4,879,860.98. mak- ■ tng an increase of revenue of $61,737.76. • 'This increase," the report says, and > Os $61,737.76 is made up of anticipated 1 gains in revenue from special taxes. general ad valorem tax, near-beer fees I and a number of smaller items; while 1 we figure there will be a decrease in * some items, the only one of consider abl importance being revenue from here 1 of convicts." The appropriations for 1908 aggre t gated $4,961,789.66 and the revenue or ■ the same year was $4,879,860.98, the * excess of appropriations and expenses ' being $81,978.68. The appropriations 5 for 1909 aggregate $5,173,806.88 and the estimated revenue is $4,941,698.74, mak ' Ing the estimated excess of approprl -1 ations $232,208.14. From this, however, 1 must be deducted $69,000 appropriated ' for the purchase of terminals in Chat ’ tanooga which will not be paid out 1 which would make an excess of $173,- *i 208.14. I The report "estimates" that the cash ■ deficit January 1, 1910 will be $728,- ’ 566.50. J THE REPORT IN FL’LL. , Hon. Joseph M. Brown. Governor. At lanta, Ga.—Dear Sir: We have examined 1 : accounts of the treasury department and J office of the comptroller general with ' special reference to the state's income and . ; the relative proportion of expenses as governed by leg.slative appropriations for years 1906 and 1909, and desire to j give you a summary of our findings. It 1s well iu the beginning to call at , tention to the fallacy of confusing cash ' receipts with revenue, and treating the ( total receipts at the treasury during any calendar year as the revenue for that year. Statements made up on any such ’ basis may lead legislative committees into grave error in making up apportionment i sheets. The total receipts at the treasury dur ing the year 1908. as shown in published statement of the department, and as veri fied by us in course of our examination, aggregated $5,388,273.16. while the total ' revenue for the year amounted to only $4,879,860.96, a difference of $506,412.18. This total revenue Includes collections during year 1908 on account of revenue for thal year, collections to June 30. 1909. on ac , count of revenue for 1908 and, in addition. ($55,722.01, belonging in accounts of 1908. but which was still unpaid on June 30, 1909. During the fall of 1907 we had a panic, collections were slow and, as a conse quence. more unpaid taxes were carried over on December 31 than were brought over from the year 1906 to January 1, ‘1909. by $322,503.23. The difference of $508,412.18, between cash receipts for 1908 and actual revenue for the year, is made up as follows: Temporary loan.

Quite a number of other appro- l j priations have been reduced. •! You will see from these figures that: i While the appropriations for 1908 aggregateds4,96l,739.66 I The revenue for same year was only 4.879,860.98 Excess of appropriations or expenses for year.s 81,878.68 While for the year 1909: Appropriations aggregate.. .. ..$5,178,806.88 Estimated revenue.. .. .. >. .... 4,941,598.74 Excess for appropriations for years 232,208.14 It will be seen from the above that: The state spent in excess of revenue during year 1903..$ 81,878.63 And In present year is spending in excess of estimated reve nueL 232.208.14 Total for two yearss 814.086.14 Manifestly this policy, if persisted in for any great number of years, will lead to serious complications. Keep in mind that the constitutional i limit of 5 mills general ad valorem I tax was reached in 1907 and cannot be ' raised ebove that rate. On January 1. 1908 the state owed: On account of unpaid appropri- ations for 190751,061,841.66 To which add: Bonds past due and not present- ed 3.590.00 Temporary loans and interest... 155.890.03 Total overdue.. ....$1,221,231.63 r Add bonds and Interest due j January 1. 1908 245.577.3 C lj Total $1,466,809.19 '(Cash in hand aggregated 820.740.1’ * I Excess of I'em’nd liabilities • I over cash in hands 64*5.063 0?

Brought over unpaid from year 1908. as above..s 893.998.68 '{Appropriations year 1909...5.173.806.88 ' j Total maturing to December 31. , 190956,067,805.56 Add bonds and interest due January 1, 1910 341,077.60 ; T0ta156,308,883.06 1 ; To pay above: .

( ; In this statement we estimate collec tions for the year at an amount equal to the year’s revenue. It is true that in 1908 the collections amounted to more, but this { was due to the slow payments on account of taxes for 1907 and the unusually large amount that reached the treasury after , December 31., 1907. and was included in the treasurer's statement of cash receipts t ' for year 1908. As already explained, the I tax revenue brought over from 1908 to be j collected this year Is $322,503.23 less than I the 1907 tax brought over and colected In 1 1908. • We would like to call attention to some , matters that seem to have escaped the at- tention of our legislators. The state la j working on the theory that the appropria -9 tions for any calendar year must be met R by the tax levy and other revenue for j that year. While some items of revenue are under the law payable monthly, near . ly all special taxes are reported quarter j ly, and the fourth quarter's collections do e not reach the treasury until after Janu ? ary 1 of the succeeding year. t The general ad valorem tax comprising, j as it does this year, about 58 per cent of j the total revenue, cannot be until t late in the year. Under our law. the tax books close on December 20. and collectors - have until April 20 of the following year i to make their settlements. As a result, a - very large proportion of this tax reaches . the treasury in February. March and I April, and even later, of the year follow r ing that In which It accrues. b While It takes 16 months or more to col s lect the revenue, the expenses or appro -1 priations are all due within 12 months. j - Cf the total appropriations for this year . ($5,173,806.88) two items constitute three- • fifths: Pensions, $950,000; common schools, $2,250,000. On January 1.190 S. balance due school ’ fund was $!'32.603.20. That amount was paid " during the year 1908, but on January 1, ’ 1909. the balance unpaid on account of 1 appropriations for 1968 was $726,266.28. ’ We have been allowed full and free ac cess to all books and records needed In 1 course of our examination, and wish to r thank the officials and employes of both the comptroller's office and the treasury i department for the courtesies shown us. ■ Respectfully submitted. ALONZO RICHARDSON & CO.. Certified Public Accbuntants. 5 GOVERNOR BROWN’S STATEMENT. • Commenting on the report, Governor j Brown has the following to say: | -; . GOV. BROWN'S STATEMENT. J "Conceiving It to be my first duty - after my inauguration as governor to ascertain the condition of the treasury, on n»y .-own gecouht and that the peo- i pie might know Its condition, I em i ployed a eo®psjent accountant.” snys Governor Breww In his statement, "with InstrucUbng that he make this , ’ Investigation and report at the very f ' • first opportunity. I submit 30 the pub , *Mc ffiV result of hlk’lnvestigation, bo- • lleving that the people are interested in knowing the • condition of their treasury. The figures speak fbr them selves and I have no comment to tneke i on the report except in two particu lars. I take the liberty of doing this, 1 knowing that every citisen of the state , ■ is interested in its finances. ‘ "First. The report shows the state { ? is spending more money than Its in- > i come. No one will justify this prac- ‘ tice, for it leads as inevitably to state 1 embarrassment as it does to bankrupt-i s cy when practiced by an individual. | The credit of the state is her best as- 1 set and should be faithfully guarded and preserved and this can be done in- > telligently only after a full knowledge > of its financial condition. “Secondy. A few years ago the state ’ was paying its teachers a nominal sum, say. approximately S2OC.OCO for teaching 1 the children in the public schools of the , state, while now the state appropriates' ’ $2,250,000. This money is raised mainly j by a special ad valorem tax on the prop [ erty in the state and the levy by which 5 this tax is made is for the year the money is appropriated. The taxes, there- i j fore, are not collected until after the' service has been performed by the teach ers. whose salaries at best! 5 are very meager for the serv- j j ice rendered, and results often in serious embarrassment to them. They must either let their debts go unpaid or discount their claims against the state at ruinous rates. I have heretofore dealt with this feature In my first message to 1 the legislature and I am impressed with 5 the belief that it is the duty of the leg islature to propose an amendment to the s constitution adequate to the situation. “This may be done, as heretofore point ed out in my first message to the general ■ assembly, by amending the constitution so as to permit the issuance of, say , 1 $600,000 of bonds, at a low rate of Inter- ; I eat, the proceeds of their sale to be cov- • ered into the treasury as a fund to prior ' prompt payment of teachers, or the finan.- j • cial scheme of the constitution of retiring annually SIOO,OOO of the public indebted ness could be changed by an amendment $3 50 Recipe Cures : Weak Men—Free I % ■ ■ .1 ■■■ ‘ Send Name and Addres Today—You Can Have It Free and Be Strong and Vig- J erous. j I have in my possession a prescription for nervous debility, lack of vigor. weakened man t hood, fail inc memory and lame back, brought . • on by excesses, unnatural drains, or the fol- I lies of youth, that has cured so many worn ) and nervous men right in their own homes— ; • without any additional help or medicine—that j. I think every man who wishes to regain his i " manly power and virility, quickly and quietly. should have a copy. So I have determined to j • send a copy of the prescription free of charge, i In a plain, ordinary sealed envelope, to any < ’ man who will write me for it. This prescription comes from a physician I : | who has made a special study of men. and I g am convinced it is the surest-acting combina ' tion for the cure of deficient manhood and I vigor failure ever put together. I think I owe it to my fellow man to send | them a copy in confidence so that any man ; D ' anywhere who is weak and discouraged with . repeated failures may stop drugging himself * : with harmful p..tent medicines, secure what ? ' I believe is the quickest-acting restorative, up- I < building. SPOT-TOUCHING remedy ever de- ( j vised, and so cure himself at home quietly . 1 and quickly. Just drop me a line like this: | ' Dr. A. E. Robinson. 3771 Luck Building, D* I S trolt, Mich., and I will send you a copy of i ’ this splendid recipe in a plain ordinary en- 1 . velope free of charge. A great many doctors i would charge 33.00 to 3-S.OO for merely writing out a prescription like this—but 1 send it en- I > tlrelv free. providing for refunding this sum for-the period of six years, which will raise the amount of money without Increasing the bonded debt of the state one penny." GRADY MUST REJECT OUT-OF-TOWN PATIENTS Referring as a 1 qase in point to the arrival of A negro Who says that he was I sent to Atlanta on a charity ticket from Athens, with instructions to come to the .Grady hospital. Dr. W. B. Summerall. I superintendent, takes occasion to reiterate |h‘s announcement that no medical pa tients will be accepted at the hospital from other towns—unless their condition is such upon arrival that it would be Im mediately dangerous to send them back home. The mayor and city authorities of Ath ens deny they sent the man to Atlanta. > The negro mentioned above is named Nathan Ellis, according to his statement. He is lying a tree in one of the back yards of the hospital, half-dea<l w<tb a loathsome and Incurable disease. He cannot be placed in a ward, for he would then be a' menacf to the health of everybody connected with the hospital, patients included. He 4ias been closely questioned, and sticks to the statement that he was sent here from Athens on a charity ticket, but the ticket was proba bly bought by individuals. He arrived at the hospital Thursday afternoon, in a hack. ; v “We want to do all we can for suf fering humanity;” said Dr. Summerall. “But our capacity and our equipment is limited. It Is all we,can do to take care of Atlanta patients. Therefore, we will be compelled In future to reject all medical patients sent here from o*her towns. Hm it'ng our treatment to sufferers who need surgical attention, which cannot be se cured In the country and small towns.” Dr. Summerall states that scores of natlents have been sent to the Grady f-om all parts of Georgia and even from rei'-hboring states. It Is not an uncommon thing for a cell lo come in from one of the depots for the ambulance, and even In some instances telegrams have been re ceived to meet -pertain trains. And the records show that most of these patients, only needed medical attention. If they had wanted surgical treatment —such as an operation of some kind, or attention to a wound or injury—the hos pital could have consistently taken them In. hut otherwise it is more than coul<l be expected of an already over-crowded Institution. For seve’-al months the dally number of patients has,exceeded anything In Hie hlstorv of the Institution, and just st this time the same condition prevails. It has been necessary to place convales-ent patients on Improvised cots in the ha>ls ! and corridors. All of which, when fullv appreciated, makes it very plain why Dr. Summsrall must in future enforce a regulation re garding medical patients from out-of tosvn. The mayor of Athens says there Is no record of the matter there and that the city did not send the man to Atlanta. SHOOTS BROTHER WHILE PLAYING WITH GUN 1 WINSTON-SALEM, N.

I “You can safely state that the roads (from south Georgia will bring into At ; lanta all the people they can handle, even with largely increased facilities and carry ing capacity. The high price of cotton now prevailing has awakened south Geor gia from one end to the other., and. the . people are going to enjoy some of the fruits of their labor this fall.
