GEoRGA.-The Atlanta papers have just pub
liShed the reports of Col. Jared L Whitaker, Com
missnry General of Georgia. showing the quantities
of salt distributed to the fa miles ofsoldiers in that
Stale, and also the expenditures for supplies for the
Georgia State troops. The Lntelligencer, in pub
fishing the report in relation to supplies, says:
"The report shows that the actual amount ex-
pended oy the Commissary General for the procure
ment of supplies for the State the past year. is only
1926, ,32287 while in their procurement directions
were given to his commissaries "to purchase them
at the toDe8t cash prices possible, and to avoid i'm.
preSsments; in the pursuance of which directions,
notwithstanding the difficulties they had to en-
counter" Col. Whitaker says it gratifes him to
state "they were more successful in obtaining them,
than, from their scarcity, might have been antici-
pated, and at much loacer rates, than from the
reports of "current prices" the same supplies were
commanding in the market" This officer also states
that during his two years of Office, he has mot
been forced to the necessity of resortng to seizure
or impressment in order to procure supplies needed
for the State or her troops"
Now that the impressment question is before
Congress- and is an exciting one before the people,
it would be we'll for that body to note what the
policy of the CommissaTy General of this State has
been, in the procurement of supplies and what has
been the successful result of that policy. This
report also shows that every effort is now being
maue oy Ool' WnllakerS purchasing commlSSarles
to procure supplies for the coming year, and we
have no doubt that in the pursuance of the same
policy there will be like success in the future as
there has been in the past
= The economy that has been observed in this de-
partment of our State Government is another strk-
ing feature of this report. The property return
embraced ia 1t shows, too, remarkable accuracy !;
not pound of beef, gallon of molasses, or quart
of .ice, remaining unaccounted for. AS business
paper 1t is clear and concise, rejecting much credit
upon the head of the Commissary department of
our State, his officers and clerks"

'4ihoritics at Richmond we're convinced that North
tsToina is State, and that she has Governor

privileges Of her citizens.
