1 lie following exhibit of the financial
condition of the city as shown by the

mitted with the hope that it will prove"
satisfactory to the tax payers, while
the receipt? for the current fiscal year
haye been nearly $ix tkmiitiM 'dollar
e.tlfdnthepfecedinghVstm 1 am
able to congratulate you upon a materi
al reduction of the outstanding debts of
the city amounting to about three thou
sand dollars (including debts contract
ed by previous boards, retirement of
uonas ana payment of coupons and in
lerest,; ana trie; further fact, that not c
dollar of new debt has beert created du
fact, that not 'a
ring the year. I would mention as one
of the main causes of th falling nff in
the revenues of the city for the current!
yvm, a uecrease in tne cotton tax from
fifteen Cents, to ten cr. rwr hal nnH
the fiirther.f act that the receipts of cot
ton in this market from the first of Sen-1
tember to date, have been over fifteen
thousand bales less than for the corres-1
Pding period of the previous year.
The fire department has been recent-
ly.suppiietr with 1300 feet of new Lose,
mutt uas peen paia ior since tne aate
ui me treasurers statement, and is to be
congratulated upon a state of efficiency
second to none in the South.
Your streets and side-walks have
been materially improved during the
year by works of a permanent and subf
stantial character; and 'especial atten
tion has been given to the sanitary con
dition of the city, the good results of
which have been apparent in the almost
unprecedented good health all have en
joyed. , The models of beauty and neatness
presented by your cemeteries 'give evi
denceof the care ihd attentiofttnat de

Upon the whole, there has been a gen

future prospects of our growing. city.

A Ijaw hr Wltlcla ta Csrmiuient
Some time ago, a law was passed de
claring that the pay of postmasters
should be regulated by the number of
stamps cancelled instead of by thenum-
bersoia. This method was ageptea in
place of the "one which Tad-'previously
obtained on .' Account of the discovery
that many of the smaller offices were
defrauding the goverrimentf out of what
legitimately belohge'd td It by trading
stamps to retail merchants at a small
discount, these merchants in turn trad
ing them to wholesale merchants ,in
larger towns tor. goods. The extent o,
the increase in their , pay which som
country postmasters " must have gained
cannot be determined with .anything
like accuracy, but must nave Deen con
siderable, as is attested by the last quar
terly report sent to the ppstofflce, de
partment by the postmaster in thlsfcity.
This report shows an increase of nearly
$1,000 in the sale of stamps at this office
during three months, over any. father
period of the same length since the
present incumbent has been irt;omce
1 . . V
auput wrce-yeari. n i

A report made to the postoffice depart
ment prior to the enactment of the law
showed; that thlsi fraudulent practice
prevailed very, extensively throughout
the country, and when this fact is taken
into consideration0 it will be readily
seen that, the government must have
lost many thousand dollars, which the
cross-roads postmasters pocketed and
pro-rated on- the 'basis of competitive
ability in tradipg stamps,! ,..
What is the responsibility of mer;
chants who buythe stamps is a question
