Annual Report OF Fifth Auditor Aiex"n-
dsr-sonlc Interesting Exhibits.


Mr.. d. s. Alexander, fifth auditor Of tho
treasury, has submitted his report for tho
fiscal year ending June 30. The accounts Of
ministers and other officials in the diplomatic
service so far as thoy have been presented for
settlement show $201, ,30l.57 paid for salaries
of ministers and charge d'atlaires, 30Iu3.ej
for salaries of secretaries, interpreters, and
clerks OF legations. $60.16096 for contingent
expenses, and 81, ,602.s3 for loss by exchange,
aggrogating 1884 i072.10. Passport fees were
collected amounting to S3,Jl6.l1.
In the amount given for consular salaries
arc included tho salaries of consular officers
not citizens of the United States, aggregating
S95372, covered by separate appropriation,
and also tho salaries of consular officers Tor
Instructions transit, and while awaiting ex-
equatur, amounting to $lt,020.46. The re-
ceipts from consular fees have increased year
by year from 1924 265.00 in the fiscal year
1877 to $526, 1856 in 1850, and to $Si3,06636
in 1881. Tho last report gavo the fees for
1882 at 1889, ,5i0.55, but several accounts then
unadj have increased this TO $01133l.3O.
For the fiscal year just closed the fees ad-
justed aggregate $9i4,S30.H. This amount
will be increase by few returns not yet re-
ccived, 80 that the receipts for 1888 will
equal if not slightly exceed those for 1882.
1t is observed that the total consular
charges on American shipping amount to
Sl35,49906, as against S120,9OGlS reported
luSt year.
During tho year, 1,0i2 seamen were re-
lioved at an average cost Of about $25 each,
and 3Si sent to tho United States on certif-
Gates payable at tho treasury, ut an addi-
tional cost Of $14 each Last year $50 were
relieved at a cost of $3.50 each, and 70i sent
home at $3.50 each.
Of those TO whom relief was granted, 49l,
or nearly one-half, had suffered shipwreck.
This class of seamen become tho special wards
of the government and ample provision is
made for their care, without regard to
natl onality or to their character as American
seamen. 1t is gratifying to know that the
greater part Of the relief afforded this year
went to that unfortunate class.
During the year collectors of internal
revenue collected and deposited $137.622,-
S42.55. This was exclusive of $7034, ,904.6
derived from the sale of adhesive stamps, and
$53,979.42 from other sources.
The cost of the bureau of printing and en-
craving is shown to have been $443, ,364.74
An adjustment of the accounts of ninety
three stamp agents shows a deposit of 81, ,473,
S06.53. Seven hundred and seventy -eigh
claims for the redemption of stamps, amount
ing to S33,53592 were settled during the year
from which $671.34 were disco united, leaving
$32, ,S67.5S actually paid.

THE report of Fifth Auditor Alexander
presents food for thought. His showing of
the cost of the collection of internal revenue
by states directs attention to tho startling
differences. In many of tho southern states
it costs 81 to collect So and 81, while in the
north the expenses ranges from IL to 2 per
cent. This great difference is prob
ably owing to tho great mum.
ber Of small distilleries scattered
through tho south, BY this report it is
also shown that the consular service is not
only self-sustaining, but that it has paid into
the treasury net revenue Of $44,549.l4. Con-

Part Of the original members came from
Maine with Mr.. Screven and part came
direct from England. Mr.. Screyen la

The Church has remarkably inter
esling history. 1t has lived through
wars and fires and various rcvcrscs. 1t
was an organized body hundred years
before Charleston WAS an incorporated
city. To give an extended history ofSt.
Michacls and the First Baptist Church
with their workings would be to give
much Of the history Of Charleston.
The Church has had only thirteen
pastors. They now occupy the third
house of worship the Church has owned.
| Their first house, Z wooden building,
stood where the present house now
stands The present house was built in
1921, while DR.. Richard Furman was
pnstor. The Church has sent out over
thirty rErnchers, some 0f whom are now
the leading preachers Of the South.
During the approaching session of the
Baptist State Convention, which meets
with this Church on November DIST, the
Church will hold special services cele-
brating its 200,h anniversary. Addresses
will be made by Drs. Basil Manly, II.
| 4. Tupper and j. G. Furmun. The first
two addresses will cover the history Of
the Church from its organization to the
present time. DR.. Furman will speak
on the Chmrch's connection with the
cause Of education and missions. Rev.
o. +. Gregory will make an address Civ
ing tho history of the Sunday school
work of the Church. These gentlemen
are sons Of the Church, two OF them SONS
Of former pastors. a short history of
this Church was prepared few years ago
by tho Rev Dr. Shuck, at that time the
pnstor, and published in the Charleston
Year Book"
1t is altogether proper for the Baplists
Of South Carolina, who cOrninuned with
this Church and who arc nO% 80 nnmer.
Gus and influential throughout the State,
\ to mark this era in their history by pub.
liciy celebrating the 200th anniversary

to gather and preserve and hand down

How to Make n Good Country School


Elect none but live, educated men
directors.
Have good schoohouses, neatly built
and well ventilated, and thoroughly
supplied with good furniture and appa-
ratus.
fIave the school year commence the
first Monday in September, and continue,
with the holiday vacation till the first of
May following.
Employ none but trained teachers, or
those qualified TO lead, rather than mis-
lead the young.
Retain the same teacher throughout the
school year.
Pay said teacher enough to enable him
to live aud have little money to spend
for fitting himself for higher usefulness
in his calling.
Don't employ teacher because he
underbids some one else, for in ninety
nine out Of hundred cases he is worth
less. Cheap teachers, like cheap jewelry,
are not made Of good material. Avoid
them.
Let parents, officials and others visit
the schools frequently, not to find fault,
but to encourage both teacher and pupil.
Don't be afraid that your schools are
costing too much. Your children, pa
rents, are more valuable than your horses
and cattle, the theory of many school
patrons to the contrary notwithstanding.
