have been heretofore regularly
given for periods terminating on
the 50th of September and to

their preparation is postponed IN

Of the custom-house duties which
accrued during the year 1913, WAS
100000 dollars. During the two
first quarters Of the present year
they amounted to about 100000
dollars but during the two last
quarters will not probably exceed
one million.
The amount receivable into the
Treasury during the year 1914.
from bonds outstanding at the
commencement of the year and
from the duties accruing and
which will become payable during
that year, is estimated at 1000, 900
dollars, which is 50o,0oo dollars
more than was heretofore estima-

Safes Of Public Lands. The
proceeds of the public lands sold
i'll the Mississippi territory, which
are now payable to the state Of
Georgia, are brought into the
Treasury in the same manner as
the monies derived from the sales
of other public lands. AS the
amount when paid out of the
Treasury to the state of Georgia,
appears among the public expen-
ditures, it is proper that these
monies should be placed among
the receipts of the Treasury. In
Guiding the proceeds of the lands
in the Mississippi territory, the
receipts during the year 1914, are
estimated at 100000 dollars, of

tiers
Internal Duties and Direct Tar.
The receipts into the Treasury
from these sources during the pre-
sent year, will fully equal the es-
innate heretofore made. These
taxes are paid readily and cheer
fully. The Direct Tax is in col
lection in more than three fourths
Of the districts. and will shortly
be in the same state in al. the dis
tricts except two or three where
the difficulty of obtaining compc-
tent persons TO act as assessors has
produced some delay. In several
of the districts the collection is al
ready nearly completed. The a
mount estimated as receivable
from these two sources was $500.
