Governor Johnston will leave this morning for Montgomery. 'zf
 He yesterday received report from Assistant Examiner w. R. Foster in re- gard to the books of w. F. Blackburn, former tax collector of Cherokee county. The report says:
 q found all the records previous to 1895 were burned except the collectors s abstracts which were in his possession from which the examinations were made for these years.
 "The footing of the abstract for 1892 shows that MT. Blackburn should have been charged with state and county taxes as follows:

Blackburn received credit for the original amount; he is therefore due the state and county taxes on these items, which amount to:
