INTEREST. The Interest on the $3,399,130 X. C. 4 per cent consolidated debt bonds was paid out of the general fund, with the exception of the amount derived from the taxes levied for the purpose of paying this Interest. Owing to a de fect in the last revenue act, the tax derid from this source has fallen J considerably, but after this year the law will adjust itself, and a larger rev enue is expected, in all probably reach ing $30,000. This Interest is payable the first of January and July of each 'year. as is the interest on the $110,C00 prison J suggest that it be reduced to $3 in ! each count;' in which the oculist may operate, in addition to the present resident tax of $3. ' In 1S91. this cojjege was incorporated, and $2,500 a year was appropriated to carry into effect the provisions of the act creating the college. This amount had been paid by my predecessors for each year. Upon my assuming office. I refused to pay until forced to do so by decision of the Supreme Court. My refusal was based upon the ground that subsequent appropriations made to the college repealed this act, and that the college has been entirely com pleted ,and that it was the intent and purpose of the legislature that in the appropriations In 1S93, and by subse quent appropriations made by subse quent legislatures, this amount was not considered. RANKS CHARTERED. Under the act passed by the last legislature, known as "The State Bank ing Act," there have been three banks organized: The Alamance Loan and Trust Company, Burlington, chartered March 10, 1902, and began business April 1, 1902; the Atlantic Trust and Banking Company, Wilmington, char- debt 4 per cent bonds, which is paid : tered August 6, 1902, and began busi out of the general fund.

C. 6 per cent con struction bonds is payable the first of April and October of each year, out o( dividends on the State's stock in the Xorth Carolina railroad. INVESTMENTS. The State holds as an investment 30, 002 shares of stock in the Xorth Caro lina Railroad Company, J2,6C shares of stock in the Atlantic and Xorth Car-; olina Railroad, shares of stock In the Boone and Blowing Rock Turn pike Company, and 500 shares of stock in the Wilkesboro and Jefferson Turn pike Company: also, a balance due from the Alexander county bonds amounting to $2,750. The State board . of education holds as an Investment $143,250 of 4 per cent bonds, and $2,000 of 6 per cent bonds. IXCOME FROM IXVESTMETTS. The annual Income of the State from the stock in the Xorth Carolina Rail road Company Is now $210,014. After paying ench year the Interest on the 6 per cent construction bonds out of these dividends, there is a bal ance as shown by the account at the end of the present fiscal year of $305, (SS.97. This surplus has been turned Into the treasury, and used as the gen eral fund, in paying the obligations of the state. Some provision should be made for replacing the fund thus far used, as the law requires that it should be held In trust for the pay ment of matured londs, and should not be used for any other purpore, The State holds $13,750 in Alexander county bonds, which the county, by special Met, is permitted to redeem, without Interest, by paying to the State treasurer, beginning January 1, 1S92, $1,000 per year, until the whole should have been paid. Eleven of these pay ments have been promptly made, leav ing a balance of $2,750 yet due. t MARTIN'S DEFALCATION. When I was Installed In this office, I retained the clerks who had served under my predecessor ' until my ap pointee were sufficiently familiar with their duties to perform them with ease and accuracy. This is usual and neces sary. It is fortunate for the State that I did in this Instance, for It resulted In the early discovery of a systematic fraud which had been . practiced for if.ve years, and the recovery of $16,CW.- t.SOO.0-) 01 for the State. The States money T.000.00 t.3GO.C0 1O.0OO.OJ .300.CO 25.000.00 11.400.00 7.500.00 B.3C0.M .3C0.00 272,000.00 32. 400.00 Union. Monroe, chartered October 25, 1902, and began business Xovember 3, 1902. These banks have a total capi tal of $120,000, and resources of $419, 315.37. Considering that these banks are entirely new, being in operation only a few months, this simply shows that they have met with remarkable success, and are in a very fine condi tion, and I anticipate for them a bright business future. In March last, finding that it would be Impossible to pay appropriations to the public schools and appropria tions to the charitable institutions, T, 1 on the advice of a score or -more of the best business men of the State, and upon unanimous resolution of the Gov ernor and the Council of State, borrow ed from the National Park Bank, Xew York City, $200.0CO for one year. Inter est payable semi-annually, at the rate of 4 1-2 per cent. This money will ha due on the ISth of March, and I would urge that provision for Its rrompt repayment be made, as the money was borrowed solely on the credit of the State, and failure to make prompt payment would seriously Injure the State's credit. , UNPAID APPROPRIATIONS. The receipts being less than the dis bursements, the following appropria tions, in the main for building pur poses .are unpaid: The State's Hospital. Golds boro $30,000.00 The State's H6spital, Morgan- very kindly accompanied me to New York, and rendered me material aid In negotiating the loan from the Xatlonal Park Bank, for which I am sincerely grateful, and I think the State should be. : I have beenvery fortunate in the se lection of my clerical; force, and to each one I desire to express my appre ciation of their faithfulness and loyalty to duty. Mr. TV. . F. Moody, Chief Clerk, has well performed his duties,; so also have the Teller, Mr. P. B. Fleming, and Miss May F. Jones. Respectfully, submitted, B. P.. LACY. State: Treasurer, Subjoined to the report is a - com plete exhibit of the State finances for the past two years as recently publish ed In The Post in connection with the report of the legislative committee which examined the treasury and au ditor's office; also exhibits of the re ceipts from counties for the two years ending Xovember 30. 1D01. and Xovem ber 30. 1902. , There is a table showing the num ber of indigent inmates in the differ ent State institutions by counties, a total of 2.293 distributed as follows: School for the Blind at Raleigh, 314; School for Deaf and Dumb, Morgan ton, 229; Soldiers Home, 115; State Hospital.

This latter shows that a large number of counties receive more money from the State,, than they pay Into the State treasury. For instance. Burke county pays into the State through taxes $4,331.14; while she re- j ceives from the State $9,937.76, costing : the State $3.5S6.C2. Burke receives for pensions alor.e $3,000, this item alone being $648.59 in excess, of the amount . Burke pays to the State in taxes. j Cumberland county receives from the State $17,043.82 and only paid into the State treasury $10,112.67, thereby re ceiving from the State $6,933.15 more than she raised in Stafe taxes. ! The section of this table showing the total cost of each county to the State and tlie amount received by the State is given below.
