The average citizen of North Carolina
knows very little of the Auditors De
partment of the State Government. ana
its important bearing upon the Imam
ces of the State. This Office corresponds
with what is known as the office OF
COMPTROLLER Generals Department in
many of the Northern and some of the
Southern States.
1t has been filled in the past by men
whose names have been prominent IN
the history and progress of the State
This office is the key TO the source OF
public revenue in that it must discover
and report subjects and methods of tax
alton. 1t is also the guardian and check
upon the disbursements OF public funds,
since no account against the State can
be paid ard no money or moneys dis-
hursed witkout its approval. This de-
partment in any State whose duties are
along the lines above suggested, is very
important, and yet strange TO say that
with but few exceptions, very little at
tention is given to this department by
the General Assemblies of the various
States. In fact it may be stated upon
authority that less attention is given
it than to any other department IT State
Government. This is perhaps Il triiie
unjust when its Importance is so mani
fest.
For the past three years the auditors
Department of North Carolina has been
vigorously. aggiessively and effectively
conducted and administered. The re-
suits are now manifest as the results cf
this policy, in the decidedly marked IN
crease in the value of property listed
for taxation. 1t may here be stated
that this increase for the past TWO wears
that is during the years of 1897 1895,
has been over S10,0U0000. This result
has been obtained by the administra-
tons extensive correspondence with the
various county officers throughout the
State in connection with their local du-
ties.
The increase in revenue, attendant
upon the increase in taxable value Of
property. together with an aggressive
movement in the matter of securing a
fuller collection of license taxes, inn
posed by the State, has resulted in an
increase in the public revenue of over
100000 per annum.
In this manner the present admins
tration is still being vigorously pushed,
and from reports available for 1898 the
further increase in taxable value of
listed property is about S2,500,000.
1t may here be remarked that the
State is assuming obligations I'm the IS
sue of bonds, etc. but the reports of the
auditors Department are conclusive
evidence that nothing is being assumed
beyond the ability of the State to pay
1t is Il fact, we'll known, that better
security does not exist than a North
Carolina State bond.
This fact is conclusively demonstrated
by the recent sale of $4,000 worth OF
four per cent. ten years State bonds,
which sold for 1922 900, approximately
1891.

Dear Sir: We very highly appreciate
the opportunity offered through your eX-

North Carolina of the great success OF
the movement we have fnaugurated for
publishing textbooks by Southern au-
thors. suitable for Southern schools For
many years the schools of North caro-

been largely in the hands of a monopoly
that sought to get the largest possible
amount of money out of the pockets OF
the people and give as little as possible
in return At first they made hght ol

fair to the South, books that are teach-
able, andsbook that can be purchased at
reasonable prices.
a very large proportion OF the DOCKS
that are being supplied now IN North
Carolina can be purchased from our
house at just about one-half OF what
the people are paying for them. All
along the line we are receiving over
whelming testimonies as to the eXcel-

satisfaction they are giving All who are
interested and wish TO investigate the
matter are invited to send to us for CIR

blind and the other for the colored deaf
and blind, located on ample grounds
abont ONE niile apart.
The object of this institution is for the
education of all blind children Of the

The purpose Of the institution is not
only TO give literary, but also an
industrial education, and hence all pu-
pills, male and female, are taught such
branches of handicraft as will most
fayorobaly enable them TO maintain
themselves after graduation.
Much Of the success of this institution

pal, who is heart and soul in his work.
