ury. The commissioner reports the receipts
from all sources of internal revenue during
the year as S154 553, ,44 344 against S146, ,523, 233
for the preceding year, and the total cost OF
collection as S5,ll3,734. He says the eX-
penses amount to about 81 per cent. of the
sum collected. The statistics Of the details
of the service, as given in the report, show
that SCI, ,275 was expended through collect
OrS and revenue agents for the discovery
and punishment of frauds. Three hundred
and ninety-seven illicit stills were seized
and ,635 persons were arrested. One thou
sand one hundred and tWenty-nine distil-
leries were operated during the year and
1S,644,7S7 bushels Of grain were consumed,
which is S,Sl4 ,304 bushels less than last year.
Seventy-tWo million two hundred and thlr-
ty-fve thousand one hundred and seventy
five gallons Of spirits were produced during
the year against 104, lO9,07 in the preceding
year. The commissioner reports an increase
in the production Of manufactured tobacco

last year, and an increase Of 1856, 234 SIT In
the number of cigars, and 1885, ,427 in the
number of cigarettes produced. He pre-.
sents figures to show that the reduction of
taxes made by the internal revenue Act of
last March will, on the basis Of last years
business, cause reduction of revenue from
tobacco during the present fiscal veal. of at
least S25, 100000. He estimates that the re-
duction of taxes on proprietary medicines,
bank checks, matches, bank deposits and
capital and on tobacco will cause reduc-
ton of internal revenue receipts of not less
than $43,000,000 per annum. He thinks,
however, that the increased revenue from
distilled spirits for the current year will SO
augment receipts this year that they will
reach s12O,OOO,OOO. He reports that during
the first three months of the current fiscal
year the receipts from internal revenue
were SO, III ,176, which is decrease of ST.
926,5O1 from the receipts of the correspond

from tobacco during the year amounted to
$40 10, ,249 The number of collectors and
districts has been reduced during the year
by consolidation from 126 to 49, and the an
nual saving is estimated at Sl25,O He
reports the condition Of the service excel
lent except in a few localities. He esti-
mates the expense of the service for the
fiscal year ending June 30, 1885 at s4,999, 100.

SUDDEN DEATH OF REV. J. S. BAILEY
On Tuesday morning our community was
startled by the announcement that Rev. J.
S. Bailey the beloved pastor of Enoree,
Mt. Tabor, Cane Creek and Mt. Vernon
Presbyterian churches, was dying from an
attack of paralysis. Late the evening be-
fore Mr.. Bailey was on the street, convers-
ing freely and in apparent good health.
About 8 o'clock his family discovered that
his articulation was indistinct: He went
to bed in apparently good spirits, but in
a paroxysm of paralysis. His wife and
youngest daughter were the only persons
with him and their calls for help were soon
responded to by the neighbors. Mr.. Bailey
never spoke after he was attacked, and
fingered in an unconscious state until one
O'Clock Tuesday afternoon, when death re-
leased him from hissufferings. Union Times.
