We are at last able to take down the' question at the head of uur columos-in reference to the filing ot the annual report of the county officers, as all of Hie annual reports have been filed; except the annual report of the sheriff in ief- enance to the amount of arrears of iusclveuts collected by him, etc. The Clerk of the Court, J. H W hite, and Registar of Deeds, V. B. Davis have filed their annual re ports and they have been approved by the Board of Commissioners, but ou account of the lack of space we do not print them this week but will do so noxt week. The Commissioners still fail to require the sheriff to make bis an imal report and still tail to require him to make a sworn statement of the amount of money he has ou hands on the first Monday in every month, Every time the Commis sioners fail to require thee reports to be made the criminal law of the State is violated in a much more serious manner, in the eyes of the law, than if some poor boy in thf country had been found with a pis tol in his pocket ' or had pitched craps for fun I Why should those boys be pun ished by working on, the chain gang oi Buocombe county, while THE COUNTY OFFICERS VIOLATK THE LAWS WITH IMPUNITY AND GO SCOT FBEE? ;.

' The.borytes iudustry'in Madison county x as stated in a late issue of the Record, is attracting the atten tion of the outside world. This mineral is alike useful and Tare. It has been found in - Only four states in the United States and it is a matter of pride to know that the variety discovered in Madison county is claimed to be far superior to any now to be . gotten ' in this country. Some five varieties were early found in the Eastern states, but the ifocketa have been worked our nd the manufacturers . who iiced this commodity look to new del'e for i heir supply, - v : : 7 At Hoi Springs a company has been fr.coriorated that is command i.,g atier.irun and supplying this material to' the large industries that need it, and is known as the Hot Springs Barytes Company. There is an idea that this miner al is used to adulterate food pro ducts. This is erroneous as far as this establishment is concerned, as inspec i -n of the booka of the Hot Spring Bsrytea Company shows that i' c ship the prod net only to paint houses and rubber manufac tories. - . ' " Ttis es'ablishment, under the prcfat management, has been in operation for three years. The stockholders in the incorporation are firms well known in the com mercial world. Among these may be mentioned Dinege. Weinman & Co of Lynchburg, Va.j Geo. 8. Mepham & Cliue, St. "Louis, and Page & Lransse of the same city. President William Steinweld, of tlm Company, resides in Quincy, III. - The able and popular local manager, Mr? V. II. Tetry, who has been with the housa 8 years, is from Lynchburg, V7 f , The output is lSlons per day and 28 hands are ' employed in handling and treating the material. The plant consists of three build ings the mill proper being a tliree- story structure 70x70 feet. A 225.1 horse power Ccrliss I engine, runs the immense works. ; "The corporation is Capitalized at $50,000, and a glance5 through the plant shows that it is steadily mov ing forward, aud the people of Hot Springs are proud Cof having in their midst so admirable a concern that has such a pay roll, the busi ness effects of which aro felt in the community every two weeks. The works now run day and m'Kht and are in fine condition. There are 10 mills ten separate sets of stones that grind the rock; and next it is chemically treated in huge lead tanks, each holding about 15 tons ; then it is packed in barrels.and is ready for shipment.

Each barrel holds 750 pounds and there are 15 tons per dy produced which is considered as fine product as can be found . in the United States. It is thought by the manufac turers that there should be a. cus torn duty on this mineral, as Ger many is the chief competitor This would, in the opinion of the manufacturer.", give them the pro tection they desire, and in supply. ing the American demand would be justified in largely increasing theii plant and the pay rolls of the wage earners.
