DIsCONTINUING THE LUTHERAN
THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY AT SALEM
The news that the General Synod of the
Lutheran Church, south, at its session in
Charleston, s. g., adopted report abol-
ishing the Theological Seminary at Salem,
will be read with regret in Augusta which
has many memories connected with the
College to which that Seminary has been
attached, and which grew from a school
first started in Augusta. DR.. Repass who
organized the Seminary in 1879 and DR..
Dosh who joined the work in 1878 both
have many friends in this county. The
discontinuance Of the Seminary of coursa
does not affect the College, which, under
President Dreher is thriving 50 greatly.

with an eye to furnishing data for annual
reports than to furnishing the usual infor-
nation given by regularly kept books.
There was no indication of any wrong
doing found, but the accounts we're very
unsatisfactory. The Steward did not
know the state of his own bank account.
The committee found 81 900 in one of the
banks to the credit of the Steward, but it
was fund that could not be touched for
the support of the Asylum, as 1t was nc ORGY
sent by the friends of patients to beFused
for these patients exclusively. An expert
bookkeeper was needed to keep the books
of the Asylum, as they would be kept in
business house. The books ought not
to be kept for the Steward, but, rather,
against the Steward.
President Bumgardner said that his in
formation from tie Auditor was to this
effect; the appropriation for the fiscal
year 1854 was 100000. The balance to
the credit of the Asylum on October LIST,
1883, was $40 936. This balance had been
drawn and in addition $74,2S1 OF the
500, O0e. issVlng $25,719 to run the Asylum
Che remaining five and a half months of
TIE fiscal year. There will be nothing due
the Asylum from the Auditor until July
LIST next. The new Board found $4,76477
at their disposal, but with it found 81 200
floating debt to be liquidated, so that the
amount really left to run the Asyl una I'M
til July 1st with, !Fas 1851 ".
The. report of this Committee W as
adopted, che borrowing of the money au-
thorized. and the Committee directed to
retain charge of the investigation of the
books.
A motion offered by Mr.. Broadus for
the abolition of the office of Steward 8
clerk and the employment of regular
clerk for the Asylum, was adopted. La
offering it Mr.. B. said that he did not
think in an institution OF this magnitude
the Director should have to depend for
Information upon books kept by subor~
dinate officer. Ele said the experience OF
his committee in their investigation had
impressed this upon him. They had found
it Impossible from the books kept in the
Stewards Office to separate different &C.
counts, everything seemed to be congionD
Grated. ksffssz
Mr.. Coleman confirmed Mr.. Broadus'
remarks as to the way in which the books
had been kept in'the Stewards Office
There seemed to be no system. For
instance, the Steward had sold 80 hogs,
but they were not accounted for anywhere
On the books. At last they were found
credited on a claim held against the
Asylum by G. A. Roller. The TRANSACTION
had been CORRECT in all particulars, but
there was no record of 1t anywhere, save
the credit Mr.. Roier had put on his bill.
A resolution offered BY Mr., Russell
making the patients contingent fund a
separate and distinct deposit in bank was
adopted.
A resolution was adopted requesting the
Attorney Of the Asylum, Judge j. II.
McCue), to furnish detailed statement
of the claims that had been put in his
bands, what had been collected, and the
