Want Sunday Freight Trains.

Because of a state law prohibiting
the movement CT freight trains on
Sunday, South Ca: Gina merchants and
manufacturers and snlprcrs generally
claim that their business is being
crippled and many of them want the
restrictions removed.
1t Is expected that at the next ses-
sion of the Legislature bill will De In
troduced, providing change in the
law restricting the railroads from opcr-
ating Sunday traffic s:ppers argue
that the present law is working great
harm to their business. The railroads
have more traffic than they can handle.
Frequently shippers make complaint
about delayed shipments causing them
to lose money. and the railroads al
ways come forward with the statement
that the shipment was delayed on ac-
count of the Sunday law governing the
operation of freight trains. .,

OPERATIONS OF THE TREASURY.

Showing Enormous Receipts and Dis
bursements for Past Fiscal Year.
A Washington dispatch says: Ellis
H. Roberts, treasurer of the United
States, has submitted to Secretary
Shaw his report on the condition OF
the treasury June 80, 1903, and its OPP
erations during the past fiscal year.
The total net revenue for the year was
$560,396,674, an increase of $685.
439 over the year preceding, and the
total expenditures $560,099,007, an in
crease of s35, 5,7S2,O34.
The surplus was $4,297, ,667, as COM
pared with $91, ,2s7,375 in 1902. In the
receipts there was an increase OF up
ward Of $s0,O00,0 900 from customs, and
a falling off of over $41,000,000 from
internal revenue, the latter being the
result of legislation enacted with that
object. On the side OF the expendt
lures there was an increase in every
important account, except pensions
and interest, in which there were
slight savings. The expenditures 10Y
the two military departments, which
together amounted to $191,237 ,554,
forming by far the heaviest outlay Tor
any single purpose, were upward OF
s21,,OOO,oOo greater than the year be-
fore.
The aggregate income, including be-
side the revenues, the receipts from
bonds. notes and coin certificates, was
211,394,0e7, and the aggregate outgo
$1,122,647, ,665. At the close OF the year
the treasury held $Ss3,06S,S69 in gold
and silver on deposit against outstand.,
ing certificates and treasury notes, be-
side the s15o,0oo,Ooo in gold which
forms the reserve against United
States notes. .....
Treasurer Roberts places the none
tary stock of the country on June 30,
1903, including gold and silver, UNI
ted States notes, treasury notes and
national bank notes, but not certifl-
Gates, at SS,149,621, an increase OF
$124,Ss2,963 for the year. The in
crease in gold was $60,137, ,401,, and in
national bank notes s56,99S,559.
The total estimated stock of gold
was s1,252,731, $50.
The increase of the money in circu-
lation during the year was $121,740,-
752, Of which $59,77s,4e2 was in gold
and gold certificates and $54,520, 1913
in national bank notes. The share of
money for each person increased So
cents and the proportion Of gold to the
whole rose to AZ per cent, the highest
ratio ever recorded. There has been
continual increase in the proportions
of paper currency of the denomina.
ttons Of SO and under in circulation,
but the growth hardly keeps pace with
the demand. The supply can be in
creased If congress will authorize the
issue Of ogld certificates for $40 and
remove the restriction on the issue Of
SIS notes by national banks. To meet
the constant pressure requires siren
uous effort. The national bank notes
presented for redemption during the
year amounted to $196,429,62 or 81
per cent Of the average outstanding.
The figures show that the tens and
twenties remain in circulation longest

The Fort Moultrie garrison, Sulli-

ago in testing the big guns OF the
forts, firing from Fort Sumter and

shooting was done primarily to test
the guns, and not for target records,
but the gunners took advantage of the
opportunity to prove their markSman'
ship and they made good record.
The targets were towed-by the gov

great guns were fired the report could
be distinctly heard in Charleston, and
the earth fairly trembled.
