The committee appointed by the legislature to examine the accounts of the treasurer and auditor for the fiscal year ending November 30th, 1895 and 1896 made their report to day to the General Assembly of North Carolina. The annual statement having the aggregate of receipts and disburse ments of public funds for the fiscal year ending November,' 1895. is shown to be as follows: Receipt of public funds, $1,433,- 423.85; educational fund $49,747.37. The disbursements of public funds were $1,343,013.55, and the educa tional fnnd $14,695.71. This shows a balance of public funds in the Treasury, December 1, 95 of $90,410 . 30. Of the educational fund there was $35,151.60. The receipts of public funds for the year ending November 30th, 1896, was $1,333,493.23; the receipts of educational funds was $36,707.01. The disbursements of public funds was $1,245,140.20; of educational funds.it was $1,648.70. This leaves a balance pf public funds in the treasury of $88,353.03. The balance of the educational fund is $35,056.31. In submitting its report the committee says: "The warrants drawn on the treasurer during said fiscal years were in accordance with the law in such cases made and pro vided. The amount shown to be in the treasury by the books Novem ber 30, 1896 was verified by actual count. The books iu the offices oi the state treasurer and state auditor were found to to neatly and accu rateiy opt. . By reference to the report of the committee to tha geuejal assembly of 1895, it will be seen that the ag The Seaboards Plan Cammcads Itself to Everybody aa Praerical. The Atlanta Constitution says: The Seaboard Air Line's plan to establish experiment farms every ten miles along the line created a great deal of talk yesterday. The company owns land along its entire line, except in the cities and towns, and at some stations it has tracts which would make fine farms. This land was bought when the right of way was secured, For some time past the division superintendents have been going over the system selecting the tracts for the farms. Captain Burkeley superintendent of the Atlanta and Monroe division, the Georgia. Caro lina and Northern, went over the entire division with Mr Patrick on a small handcar run by steam. They made a careful examination of the ground and picked out the places which seemed best adapted to the experiments. With a farm every ten miles, hun dreds of planters in Virginia, the Carolinas and Georgia will have an object lession in farming right before their eyes. No farmer along the road will be more than Ave miles from one of these experiment farms. It is believed that the influence on neighboring farmers will be vast. As it is demonstrated that this or that crop can be successfully culti vated, neighboring planters will get the benefit. Travelers will not fail to derive strong impressions from what they see and the farms will be great ad vertisements of the country through which the railroad passes. Home- seekers will be enabled to see what the soil can produce and the experi ment farms will no doubt prove a valuable adjunct to the immigration department of the Seaboard system. Captain Berkeley is up on the line this week, partly on business in connection with the establishment of these farms. It is understood that the company wiUbegin planting in the spring and will put In diver sified crops all along the road from Atlanta to Norfolk.

The aggregate receipts for the past two fiscal years to the public fund, amounts to $2,375,324.67; the disbursements for the past twofiscal years amounts to $2,588,153.75, Showing an excess of expenditures over receipts of $212,829.08.

The JTcss-Vtoitor Will Be 35 Ccate Per Month Alter January 1st. The Press-Visitor has now for nearly a year and a half been greet ing its readers every afternoon, re plete with all the news of the day, both at home and at a distance, and throughout aU that time the univer sal verdict of its readers has been and is that it is the best daily paper ever published in Raleigh. It has also taken, its place in the journal istic field as the best and most up- to-date afternoon daily paper ever published in the State. While giving our patrons a paper wnicn has been in every way superior to its predecessors, the price has re mained the same and the Puess Visitor at 25 cents per month is to day the cheapest newspaper , in the Ctotn. Va.uu if our.. onfm tOw -1 raries charge four dollars and five dollars per year and none of our contemporaries, wo Charge as law1 as ,; the. PBESB-Yjsrtoa at three dollars per year. The time has now been reached when it is felt by the management that in view of the superior quality of the newspaper which we give to our readers and the fact that other similar journals, whose newscolumns are not so pretentious and so com prehensive as ours, charge at i higher rate, and realizing that the class of newspaper which we give is worth more than the price wa charge, we feel justified in asking nup nnirnns for a small increase in the subscription price of the Press Visitor. During the approaching session of the legislature we propose to give our readers complete accounts of the deliberations of that boay ana our expenses for that time will be considerably increased. As we have been broadening and widening our scop'' our expenses have been otherwise increased and in the past year we have also borne the expense of equipping this office with a complete new outfit of the most modern and attractive type, an investment which has materially cut down that legitimate, though modest profit, to which we feel we are justly entitled. Accordingly on January 1st, the subscription price of the Press-Visitor, will be raised from 25 cents to 35 cents per month, or from $3.00 to $4 00 per year if paid in advance. We take this step feeling sure that our patrons will agree with us that the Press-Visitor is fully worth this small nrlce and that we VT,U - " . I AA .
