Figures from the Records Flaunt
Falsehood In Faces of Republican
Speakers.
When a full set of Fusion officers
took charge of Randolph couuty in
December 1S9(5, they found that
treasurer J. S. Swaim had expended
$308. 5S more money than he h;ul
received. In other words the couu
ty was indebted to Mr. Swaim in
that amount. There was then due.
however, the taxes for 1S9G levied
by a Democratic Board of Com
missioners, to be collected by a Re
publican Sheriff and to be account
ed for to a Republican Board of
Commissioners. These taxes were
tuined over to the Republican ad
ministration, subject to a charge
for $308.58 due Treasurer Swaim.
Wbeu the Republicans went out
of power in December 1900, after
holding full control of county
affairs for four years, they had ex
pended these 1890 taxes. The taxes
for 1797, 1898, anil S15VU7..U'
of the taxes for 1900.' These j
ligiuvs are from the. records The
accounts of Treasurers Swaim ami
Holla Jy.
The Revenues from the County
and Road Funds f'cr the years 1 S0C, j
1907. 19US and 1909, which were I
properly chargeable with the ex-'
peiiies of the fi'iir years of Repub !
Hear. Rule. ani"unfed to f'"'.9sl .n 1. 1
To this shouh! lie added :i!t. I !i j
received from I'ther sources mak
ing -i total of so7:?71. The
annual exhibits for the period ofj
Kepiiblicaii administration. Tin to j
of which weie prepared by a Re-j
publican Resist'. r of Peeds and the!
fouith by the present incumbent
of that office, show expenditures to
the amount uf $03197.3-1 directed
dy their B.iard of Commissioners
to be perfectly fair, we should de
duct from this amount $373. 5 of
releases of t ixes to Shurilf Redding
this amount is charged in determin
ing the net taxes above stated. We
should also deduct $702.80 com
missions to treasurer Swaim during
two years, as the other years do not
show the commissions allowed him.
and the $308.56 paid back to
Treasurer Swaim on discount of
the preceding year. Deducting
these amounts we nave $61812.41.
This shows an expenditure of
$4441.18 more than received; and
yet to get the full amount of the
deficit we must still add the Treas
urer's 1-2 plus 2 1-2 per cent, com
missions, and $38.00 which the
succeeding Democratic Treasurer
had to pay back to Mr. Holiday to
make his books ballance. Taking
into consideration these two items
and we find there was a deficit of
at least the $6,297.70 taken from
the 1900 taxs. Notwithstanding
the fact that the Republicans drew
so freely of the revenue for the suc
ceeding year, the Democratic admin
istration has been so economical since
it came into control of Randolph's
finances in December, 1900, that
there is today on hand over $7,500
of county and road fnnds. Instead
of a deficit the Democratic adminis
tration has paid off the Republican
deficit and has accumulated a sur
plus of $7,500. And yet not one
cent of the taxes for 1906 has been
used or included in this balance on
hand!
Unquestionably Randolph's finan
ces are in better shape than they
have been for years, perhaps ever.
This statement iloes not include
the school funds. That matter was
so fully considered in an article last
week in the Courier , that it is need
less to cover that ground again.

LETTER FROM JOPLIN.
Randuipli Hoy Writes Interesting Letter
of hiii adopted Home In the West.
Mr. Eiutor op Courier:
If you will permit a former Ran
dolph county boy to have a small
space iufyour valued paper, I will
promise not to be tiresome. The
Courier is always a welcome visitor
out here as it tells of the great pro
gress of our home State, and espec
ially Rndolph and Guilford coun
ties. There is no oue that takes
greater pleasure in the progress of
their boyhood home than J, and,
right here let me say to the Courier
that I am glad to see it taking the
stand it does for goods roads. Let
your paper continue to stand for
good roads, for thatis the next b st
to good schools and good school
houses. Also boom your mines.
They will bring capital and indus
try to your door. Ores and metals
always create good times and life in
any country. I am glad to note
some of my boyhood friends have
raised fine crops of wheat this year.
Now a word for Joplin. Jop
lin is located in the south wtst cor
ner of Jasper county, Mo., and four
miles from the great Prohibition
State line of Kansas, which litis oil
and :as but not much prohibition,
dopliti's population is 41,000. A
post ollice building that cost
s!r".00, jjood school houses
and line school system, four ohiuvhrs
which cost ovi.t 50.000 each, and
vend othi-r nice larire chinches,
four railroads ooil street c:ir service.
;nod streets and line homes eoinnuie j
thetov.n. It is surrounded by the!
greatest zinc mining district in the
L n i ted States.
I would sav in conclusion that
there is more money handled every
Saturday night in joplin than anv j
other town of its size that I know I
of.
Wishing the Courier and uiv
friends success, I am,
Yours truly,
W. H. Ellimi.v.
