Hendersonville, N. C. Dear Sir: We are sending you today by ex press the papers turned over to us py Mr. , Charles Moore, and a few other papers, which we found neces sary to. bring with us to complete our report. We have a copy which we are re turning of the accounts of W. F. Brown and A. E. Hudgins, as shown by the "Ledger", but we did not copy the other accounts in this Ledger such as General, School and Roads. In accordance with your request to Mr. Durham arid the request of Wil son Audit Company, we forwarded to you by express some two weeks ago the County Ledger. We are forwarding today by ex press to our Raleigh office for sig nature and transmitted to Mr. Dur ham copies of our report. We are sorry we were unable to get this re port to you at an earlier date, but you will doubtless appreciate the amount of work Involved' in -What was practically a . construction of the records which Mr. Hudgins should have, but did not keep, and also the work of typing a report as large as this which contains 450 pages. Trusting you" will now be able to reach a satisfactory settlement at an early date, we are Very truly yours, PULLEN, HENDERSON & CO. By Leland L. Miller The following is a short explana tion of the audit of the Treasurer's and Tax Collector's accounts by W. T. Dixon, representing the auditors and prepared for the commissioners: Period Covered. , The report covers the period be ginning November 15, 1918, the dat? on which A. E. Hudgins gave bond und qualified as Tax Collector and Treasurer, and ending November 30, 1921, the latest date through which we could advantageously carry our work. f Scone of. Audit. We covered only the trvsrv'.ons of the Tax Collector and Treasurer and did not inquire into any other offices of the County except to the frttnt necessary to determine the amounts received and paid out by A. E .Hudgins and the corr-?:t tax against him. For example, if a voucher wa3 paid by Mr. Hudgins and apparently cor rect on its face we gave him credit for the payment and did not examine the Minutes of the Board of County Commissioners or original sworn statement of account on file. Thus we credited A. E. Hudgins with a payment of $4,100.00 to R. H. Sta ton, Administrator of W. F. Brown and charged the same to the School Funds. This voucher was properly signed and stated that it 'was for overpayment by W. F. Brown to the School Funds. It would have re quired us to go beyond the scope of our present worlc to have verified the correctness of this statement. We only verified the fact of pay ment. In General: Mr. Hudgins has no proper record of his cash received ana paid out. The records which Mr. Hudgins has i of .receipts are so '.. scattered , that it is . impossible for anyone to tell how much was receiv ed on any certain date. There is no record at all .of disbursements, except for schools. It can readily be seen ; that Mr. Hudgins could not have ': balanced his cash if he had ' tried. The Treasurer's books showed , no ,.' trace of any effort to determine how much belonged in each fund. -The ' same style of books was used by ''Mr. Hudgins as was used by his v , predecessor m. the office, iW-VP, Brown. . -- ; -; w Mr. Hudgins should at least have "v 4 .kept a record of each receipt show Si in?

We quote from Chapter 26, Consolidated Statutes of North Carolina, 1919: (Underscoring below is ours.) Sec. 1393. Duties of County Treasurer. It is the duty of the treasurer . , ' 1. To Keep County Money. To receive all moneys belonging to the county, and all other moneys by law directed to be paid to him; to keep them separate and apart from his own affairs, and to apply them and render account of them as re qired by law.' 2. To Keep True Account.. To keep a true accout of the receipts and expenditures of . all such .mon eys, taking proper vouchers in every case in books provided for that pur pose at the expense of the county; which said books shall at all times show the date, amount, and from whom he has received such moneys; the date, amount, and to whom he has paid out any of the said moneys; the total amount received and the total amount paid out during the current fiscal year for school pur- ?oses, for general county purposes, or jury fund, and for each special purpose, all separately kept, so that at all times his said books shall cor rectly and accurately show the con dition of the said several accounts. Hia account of exoenditures for Lgeneral county purposes shall also show separately tne amounts ex pended each year on account of the county home, indigent persons, jails, workhouses, courthouse, bridges, in solvent fees, courts, and such other special accounts as the board of com missioners of the county require, the total of said accounts being the ag gregate amount expended during the fiscal year for general purposes. He shall post at the courthouse door on the first Monday in each month a correct statment oil such receipts and expenditures, showing the amount received, and from what source, and the amounts paid out, and to whom, and for what purpose, and the balance in his hands belong ing td the county. . 3. t Call on County" Officers for Funds in their Hand. To call on the sheriff, or the clerk of the su perior court, or other officer having county moneys in his hands, at least once in each month, or oftener if necessary, to pay over to him, and to account for all such moneys. 4. To Keep Account of Fines, Etc. To enter in "a book to be kept by him the exact amount of any fine, nonnltv or forfeiture naid over to him, giving the date of payment, the name of the clerk or other person so paying the same, the name of the party from whom such fine, penalty or forfeiture was collected, and in what case. 5. To Exhibit to the Board of Coqimissioners His Books and Ac counts as Treasurer for Examina tion. To exhibit his books and ac counts and moneys once every three months, or oftener, if the board of commissioners of his county deem it necessary, to a committee to be com posed of the chairman of the board of commissioners, who shall be an yxnert accountant. It is the duty of this committee to examine the books and accunts of his office, and to see that the accounts are correctly and nrooerlv kept, and to count the monejr in the hands of the treasurer, and to see that it corresponds witn the amount shown by the books to be in his hands. At every such examination of the books and ac counts of his office the county treasurer shall exhibt a full, per fect and itemized statement to said committee of the- use he has made of every dollar of public funds in his hands since the last exhibition of his books to said committee; and if any part of said funds has been loaned out. this statement shall state to whom loaned and on what security and the amount of interest paid on said loan and such interest shall be covered into the county treasurey by the treasurer. This statement shall be sworn to and published in a county newspaper or at the court house door. Homing nerein contain the countv to lend nublic funds.

Many of them came from long dis tances, in wagons, trucks or touring cars, all prepared to buy, and make a day of it. Those who read carefully the cir culars mailed to every family in the county and the ad which appeared in The Times and evidentally most of them did knew exactly where to go to get the bargains they desired. Accordingly, although there was a huge crowd in town all day and all the streets were full of people, there was no mad scramble nor confusion. The public expressed itself well pleased with the sale by buying liberally and by favorable comments. The merchants also expressed themselves as well pleased with the results of the sale. Chas. Rozzelle, whose particular penchant it is to sell furniture, re marked: "Speaking only for myselft the sale was a success. I was too busy selling furniture to notice whether anybody else sold anything or not." That was about the case with the Walker Furniture company and all of them, it seems. A. Kan trowitz, of The Hub, declares that the salesday once a month will act as a business stimulator and is "just what we needed." H. Patterson when interviewed on the subject, said: "I am greatly pleased with the results brought about by the advertising the club did. wonderfully well. The ads brought j the crowds and we sold em the goods.." Mr. Lewis, of E. Lewis & Son's Department store, speaking to a rep resentative of The Times, said: "I can't think of a better way to serve the public and at the same time stimulate business. I'm strong for advertising, and especially this kind." When asked what he thought of the Golden Rule salesday, N. Bren ner, of the Brenner-Penny company, smiled and said: "We have needed co-operation for a long time. We got it. We have needed something to put business' on its feet again. We pr that. We gothe. right kind of advertising and we're going to have more of it. Did I sell much stuff? We had all we could do to take care of everybody who came in our store." The clothing and dry goods mer chants were not the only ones for whom the sale was a success. "We need more of this kind of advertising and the people need more goods at "reduced es," was the opinion of C. H. T. Bly who handto hardware and farm machinery " can't help being a success," he added, referring to the monthly salesday Jl. M. Shepherd said he was uieittly nU'ased with the salesday, sayint' tliat when so many people were brought to town there was rea son to be pleased. L. A. Chapin, who handles general merchandise, whs of the same opinion and re marked that this plan was the best vet. The above interviews with some of Hendersonville's merchants leave no room for doubt that the con census of public opinion is in favor of the salesday. These men are in a position to know, in fact, the only position to know, and they say the pian hu u.c auvciw...e NEW BOOKS AT LIBRARY The following popular books have been recfivcd al the library and a fee of live cents a week is charged for the use of tbem in order that thty may be paid for.
