For the pasj, week or two there have been rumors to the effect that County Tax Collector D. L. Reynolds was cm-' barrasscd in his administration of his office. These reports -vcrc doubtless more or less colored as they were re pented and Mr. Reynold was of course more or less a sufferer by their circula tion. The facts iu the case were that. Mr, Reynolds had been unable ro collect the taxes called for in the '02 list as fast as they were needed, on account ol the stringency in finances. At the regular monthly meeting of the Hoard of County Commissioners today Mr. Reynolds ten dered his resignation of the position of tax collector and made the following statement : "My purpose is to resign and give Mr. Weaver and the other candidates a chance for the position. People have talked about me and tried to run me out of the county, but they couldn't do the latter. I have secured in v sureties with $4-1,000 worth of unencumbered prop erty; that is, after allowing an amount for' all that is encumbered if the rest were sjld at two-thirds value there will be the above amount. I want a reason able time to collect the tax and respect fully ask you gentlemen for that time. There is due tne $15,032.51. Dr. Clontz and Dr. K. M. Stevens, deputies, have paid in the taxes of their townshius in full. 1 have to thank the commissioners for the lavors you have shown me and now resign my position as tax collector." The commissioners snid that no order would be made, but that a reasonable time would he given Mr. Reynolds for the collection of the taxes on his books. Mr. Reynolds tells Tiuc Citizen that the unpaid taxes on his books will a great deal more than make up what he- is due tuc county, aud in due time he will make the collections. Money has been so tight that it has been next to impossi ble, he adds, to get taxpayers to settle. l wo years ago Air. Kcvnolda. while sheriff, desired to be relieved ol the tax list, but it was found that a cording to law the offices of sheriff and collector could not he separated. A law was passea by the Legislature, however, which provided for this, and Mr. Rey nolds after retiring from the office of sheriff took the tax list, having been elected by the magistrates of the county. My nis statement to the Commissioners Mr. Reynolds meets the stories that have been in circulation. That he got behind in the collection of taxes is ti ue, but in these times of stringency that was al most to be expected, lie has made his securities secure, he savs. and he has given bis word that he will collect the outstanding taxes. lucre are lour candidates for the va- voncy caused by the resignation of Mr. Reynolds: Messrs. M. . Heardcn, John H. Weaver, J. M. Iugle and John I'.'aird. Up to 3 o'clock this afternoon no choice had been made by the commissioners. nouyr. ati 8i;j(atk, HlAlf Utl.1.!
