However, we will not publish your name if you do not want us to, but for self-protection we must know who our writers are. We will gladly send the Record free to anyone who will send us tho local news of his or her com munity regularly Vo MstpproprUtioa C&argel The Eagle put at the head of its oditorial column, a challenge to the Record "to show a single dollar that any of the present county offioials have misapplied, misap propriated, or in any way disposed of while in office." Now, we never at any time have charged the county officers with misapplying or misappropriating any money, but we nave only in sisted on the county officers of the county-making their reports and keeping their books as required by law, and this it the right of the taxpayers of tho county. And this is what bat raised to much die turbance among the leaders oi the Court House Ring, and what has caused its mouthpiece so much concern. I We will only cite a few instances where the books aro bard to under. stand, and the people may be their own judges about the matter: we only say that we can not under stand them, but make no charge whatever about it In the year 1818, in the month of October and alter the final settle ment bad been made for some time, the candidate for representative on tho democratic ticket called the fact to tho attention of the people that the school" funds which were rollected from the railruad.amouul- iug to several hundred dollars, bad not been accounted for in the set tlement betw ton the tax collector and the commissiorx rs and at a subsequent meeting the matter wan corrected and the remainder of the money was accounted for. - " " Iu Settlement Book, on page 88, la settlement made October 181)9, of the taxes of 18$, wa fin the following Item charged: "Collected on insolvent polls, $12.63," which was accounted for in the general county fundi; but when we turn to the school funds of that year we do not find a single cent accounted for as having come out of the in solvent polls. Well, now,, we all know that 11.50 oat of every poll must be paid into the school fnndt of the county. , " And again, in the settlement of the general county funds for tie year 1S99, as made oa the first day of October, I9OO, between the Ux collector and the board of commit loners, we find the following item, "Oct Jit. To Cash on 84 insolvent to the school funds we do not find anywhere in the books where th tax collector is charged with any amount as having come out of those thirty-four polls. Thx' amount that is due the school fiuAls out of thirty-four polls is 951. CO: money enough to pay a first grade teacher to teach a two months' school. After tho final settlement had been made, on the first Monday in bemcmber, IWl, net ween ttie tux collector and the board ot com missioners, and after the ins.ilvei lists ot the year 900 had been printed in the Rkcoku and the in solvent list of the ye.ir 1809 hud just begun to bo published, wc fin that on October tho 12th, at a fpe cial meeting, the tax collector ac counted to tho boaid of commie. $88.75 for the year 1899 an 27:49 lor the year 19UU as navinyifleen collected from insolvents, Now, there aro many other jii9t such mistakes, but we 1I0 not care to follow the matter now ui.loi called 011. If the county officers would make their reports 86 re quired by law and Keep their bonks properly, just such mistakes could not occur : and that is all we have asked the county oflicers to do, and that we havo insisted on, but we have never made any chnr;o that they have misappropriated funds But wo will still insist that the county officers ought to make all reports as required by law, if the moutbnieco of the Court Iloupe Ring doe not take duck fits over the fact that we call on them for their reports. Bow 1 This I Since 1894 the present crowd and their associates haye been in absolute control of County affairs At that time poll tax was $2 25 and the county debt was about thirty-five thousand dollars. Now within eight years the poll tax is increaaed to 8.85 and the couuty debt has. nioie than dbubled, being about seventy two thousand dollars. At this same rati where will we oe in eight years more, j.ook at this situation tax payers and study it. Can you stand it eight years more or even two years more ? Try a chanRo and if not improved chango again. Conditions can certainly be improved if every tax payer will do his duty. Vol. 1. No. 2, of the Bryson City Recorder, is before us. It is a 5 column folio, all homo print and full of local news. This is the ninth voulure into the journal istic field in Swain county, and eight of them have failed on ac count of lack of support from the. business men of Bryson City. It roniains to be seen whether they are going to do their duty by tho county and the Recorder, and make it what old Swein need bad ly a widoawake, prosperous news paper. Editor Battley says "ho 's thore to atay." Wo g'ory in his pluck, but it is a foregone coaclu sion with us that there is more truth than poetry in his statement, for we found it pretty hard to scrape enough together to get out of town, and we rode out on a cow then. No, no, we didn't take, the cow in on subscription, for such was not our luck, but we took her there with us as part of our ou'fit, and verily, the was an oasis iu a desert. But here's success to ' you any k n .., . WA way, Uro. liatuey, may tne Re corder never cease recoiding the "events of a week in Bryson City". The Rkcobd was . right when it torevold what the next order copied liom the recordt would be. 'The Red iron and Lance order has been copied three separate and distinct times by the mouthpiece of the Court Houfcf Ring and this week it makes a great to ; do about it While it it an order that ought never to bare been made, still the mouthpiece of jhe ring hat Lever shown where 'the people of the county eyef loek a cent by that order, neither hat it been able to thow where the material furnished by Mr. L. M. Bryan was not aa cheap and at good at could hate boeu fumibhed by anyone else. And why not talk about tome of our present troubles -"Why not answer the question as to whero and by whom the petition to the legislature for the high taxes was agreed upon ami prepared? Why not answer the question as to how you stand in refnrencj to the county indebtedness ? There arc a great many things of more impor tance to Ihe people than t print and reprint time and iignln those old orders made by the boaid of eoinmih-sionnn) that the ueople all know orb;itum. The mouthpioo of the Court llouso Ring asks The Record again it it approves the action of the hoard of commissioners in making an order releasing W. R. Satus from the bon-j of C. B. Candler. We state ugam'that wo would have been opposed to it. And when the mouthpieci) of the ring changes it name again and wants to ask that question a fourth time we w.ll refer them to our answors 'o that question in our issues of October U10 4th, 1901, of October the 11th. 1901, anil our answer of this date. We have given a plain and diroet answer in evory instance, but we presume that the mouthpiece of the ring thinks the people can he im posed on in their memories as they have in their fmancios. "The political party that is afraid to risk its fate on clear-cut, present day issues has outlived its day of grace. '' Ashcvillrj Register. This is respectfully referred to the Eagle, wh cun't pet up to tho issue of today, but goes back ten years dinging op imaginary ghosts tor no other reason than to avoid present day lscues. The evils of tile day are sufficient thereof. Pritchard and Moody expect to make good use of the Park bill in the way of promising every man that wants anything, a job in the Park. Before accepting these promises, our mends might do well to remember that both Pritch ard and Moody will be on the re tired list befort this bill is passed and the other fellow might not be able to deliver the goods. The Gastouia Gazette says that someone accused Mecklenburg Democracy of being "tough", whereupon the Gazette remarks that the aforesaid Democracy splits easier than a two dollar summer shirt. This is respectfully referred to Buncombe where they split as easy as a last season's fifty center. Failure to "properly apply" is a mis-application of funds. Why is it that the Eagle can't show proper application instead of dodging and pretending to want specific items? If some oi the oflicers will make itemized reports as the law directs w.e will then be a little more spe cific. Five hundred and twenty one nsolvents, two hundred and four re eases granted by tho commiss ners. A loss of something like hree thousand dollars to the county, lax payers do you want to continue to pay taxes for these fellows in addition to your own?, The Hickory Press did not see.n to be hankering after specifications when, they, were ottered. It found out that it was not the thing that it was cracked up to be to write a piece through . which tp try to get a job tor its pie rooting editor. . Every time Jhe. commiuioners release a man from poll tax it is robbing the school fund of 1.50. Don't you think, that the little children of the county need this.

Court - Houte Ring, etc, and like all other tax payers of the county I am dis- guBled at, the state of affairs in our oounty. It appears to me that w ought to be iu better shape. With a poll tax ot 3.35 and a property tax equal to the poll we ought to be able to pay our county fjidi bted neas and also be able to run the current expenses ot the countv ou a cash system. However tins not the casn, of course most all the oflicers of the county get their pay when they render their services or soon afterward. But the honest toiler of the soil who feds all, 1 he happens to be summonsed as 1 witness and compelled by law to leave his crop and "let his farm work alone, gets little or nothing for his time.
