Commissioner Raum has submitted to
the Secretary OF the Treasury a statement
Of the operations Of the Internal Revenue
Service for the fiscal year 1891. 1t is a re-
markably crcditable ore The total col
lections were sl35. 229 .9o2, and this large
sum "was collected and duly paid into
the Treasury" During the past five
years, says the Commissioner. the sum
collected was S602, 310.7S7. the entire
amount of which. without any loss by de-
falcation, has been paid into the Treasury
The disbursements have also been made
without any loss. They have amounted,
in five years, to S2l 1922 $50. which is S.37
per cent. on the collections. This excel.
lent showing is due largely to the sim.
pliication of the revenue laws. to the com
parative stability and uniformity which
have prevailed in connection with them
and to the energy and care with which
they have been administered.

Last week 4 row occurred between
two negroes, one named Eel Parker,
and ,the other named Dan Smith, a
few miles out from Milan. 1t seems
that Parker had threatened to kill
Smith. and went to his house for that
purpose. lie broke open one door,
when Smith retreatcd to 2 back room,
with shot gun in his hand, and bar
red the door, at the same time telling
Parker to leave or he would shoot
him. But the desperate would not
take warning. lie broke through
the other door and advanced, when
Smith fred, woundiug him in the face,
neck aud shoulder. The parties were
arrested and carried before Esquire
Hale for trial, W hen Smith was dis
charged, the evidence showing that he
acted IN self defence. Parker was sent
TO the county poor house for treat
meut, but we learn was refused adj
mittance. At any rase he was back
from there a few days aflerward. still
yowing vengeance on Smith. Ii he
makes another attempt to take
Smiths life, it is to be hoped the next
shot he receives may finish his wild
career. He is too dangerous man TO
