"The Record is still grieving over that .3936.99. Don't shed anymore crocodile tears don't. The sheriff has that snug little sum safe, just where thieves can't break through and steal." Eagle- If we understand anything about the English language the above is an admission that the sheriff has collected the above amount out of the people and the treasurer's re ports show that he has not paid it oyer to him. As the Eagle seems to be the authorized mouthpiece of the Court House Ring, we presume that it knows ,what it is talking abont when it admits that the slui';li" --till retains that amount of money in his hands. It is un necessary to tell the readers of The Record again that the laws of North Carolina levy a tax of twenty four per cent per annum upon all sums that the sheriff keeps of the public money in his hands over three hundred dollars for more than ten days. The Eagle does not tell us how long the sheriff has had that amount of the public funds of the county in his hands, but it must have been for several mouths judging from the small amounts the sheriff has been reporting as collected each month. Now, it is up to the GIANT COMMISSIONERS to do their duty or refuse to do it. If a poor man owes a poll tax of $3.35 his wages are garnisheed and ' he is forced to pay every cent he owes. And it yet remains to be seen whether the sheriff of the county can defiantly in the face of the law retain thousands of dollars of the public funds of the county in his hands for months and not be re quired to pay the 24 percent which the law levies on him just the same as the law says that every man shall pay his poll tax. .We would like to ask the commissioners if they think that the man who is forced to pay his poll taoc, while men of wealth escape, is being treated fairly at their hands ? Vbtm VMA Is It! In Treasurer Roberts report of the- moniea paid out during the month of July as ' posted at the Court House door- on the first Monday in August, the following item was in the report, "By paid out during July"- and on the same line just in front of the -foregoing phrase was the following figures: "2887. 18" and .when " The Record man copied the. report it was per fectly natural for him to copy the item just as we printed iV as fol lows: I. "By paid put during July I2887.18." ' But upon a close in spection of the' report- it wa9 dis covered that the $2887.18 was in tended as the sum total that was in. the treasury and the items that were paid out followed on the lines below. -, . - In answer to all the harrangwe that the Eagle got off af The Rec ord about the matter, ' all We have to'say is that we invite, every one who cares enough about it to ex amine the report at the Court House door as it was originally put up and also examine the report in The Record and in the Hagle and if they-say that-the report in the Eagle is as nearly correct as the one in The Record then we will say that we were to blame for the mistake, but otherwise we contend that the mistake was on the part of the man who wrote the treasurer's report. But however the mistake might have been made, whether it was on the part of the treasurer or The Record, it gave the editorial writer of the Hagle the opportunity to make such a to do about it as ! though he had found a mares nest. But when he gets a little better ac quainted with the people of Madi son he will find out that such a to do ever nothing will have no effect on the thinking people of the JS! i county and they will not take such efiorls as an answer to 'tne question as to how the Eagle stands on the proposition to pass an act of the Legislature to pay off the claim speculators of the county by paying them back the money and the in-1 terest they are out and let the comity get the benefit of the differ ence. The Eagle has been asked , that' question time and again but has not answered it yet. If - profess to answer questions why not answer that one ? We presume that the editor is too much of a stranger in the county to know anything about what the county needs. Where do Yea Qet your Information 1 "As we have heretofore stated the present indebtedness of $70, 000, with the exception of about .f 10,000 was incurred by democrats, under democratic administrations. and we are not charging fraud or seeming fraud." Eagle. W. W. Ileyward, the editorial writer of the Eagle, -four months ago, so far as we know had never been in the county of Madison. There is one thing certain that he was a perfect stranger to Madison county and Madison county people prior to that time, Now, we would like to knew Th' re lc gets the above information in the county or did he just bring it here with him ? ! If he gets it from any records we would be glad if he will refer us to the book or books, page or pages of any records of the county where any such amounts are shown. Let us have facts. The people don't care anything abont this guessing business by some one who knows nothing in the world about it. The Eagle last week devoted nearly a colujnn and a half of its space in discussing the reason vhy the high tax bill was passeil. That paper first says that it is opposed to the high taxes, thon it defends the action o' all those who had anything to do in passing the high taxes on tho people of the county, so it is impossible to tell where it stands on the question. Now, will the mouthpiece of the Ring please let us know just where it stands on the high tax question? If it is opposed to the high taxes will it please tell ns why it is that it defends the action ol all those who had anything to do with the passage of the high tax law ? The mouthpiece of the Ring, alter try ing to deny that there was a con ference ol some of Jio ringsters in the office of Priteliard k Rollins for the purpose of requesting tho leg islature to pass such a measure as was passed afterwards at their re quests, finally, virtually admitted that such a conference was hold and tried tn justify it. : L Now, will it please let ns knew whether there was such a meeting held in the office' of Pritchard St, Rollins as was .charged by The Record ? If. there was not then what is the rTse of defending their conduct for so doing if they never had any such meeting ? The tax payers of theconuty are still wondering why it is that a man can .pay more money lor a nomination- f6r offices than the legitimate feet of that office will amount to-. Of course he expects to get f is money back and getps'y for his time ' besides' And tbe people wonder why onr taxes are high.- '" - . .; - : ;. - Dispensary Proflts It is said that the dispensaries of Floyd county, Georgia, eleared a net profit of j0,000 last year which was divided between the towns uiid the county. A largr per cent going for fchool purposes, road building, etc. We do;i't kniv just bow many 01 tiiL'.se dispensaries wen; in opera tion in the county mentioned above, but they certainly iiontribu I ted a good sum t;i, the towns and e unty treasury and if Madison :--u!d adopt the dispensary system it would no doubt be the means of paying a few thousand dollars each year on our growing county debt. Maybe it would bring in enough to stop the increase at least.

Hayward, .Marshall. N ('. Dear Sir: In reply to vours f even date, I have to say that sometime at'ier Mr. EIi'm was elect ed a nieii.ber of th.( legislature, I had a talk with him in regarl to our county indebtedness. At that lime I authorized Mr. Ehbs to say to ili, county commissioners and lo tbe lcg;slature that if the county of Madiso-n would pay mo the amount which I actually naid in cash for the cldms whirh I held at that time, togettier with interest on the same from date of invest ment, 1 would cheer'uily turn over ali the claims I bad to 1 1 10 county of Madistn, and thereby give the people tho benefit of any shave I might have secured on tho claims which 1 bold. I made this prop osition with the condition that other parties who hold claims against the county would enter in to like agreement with the county. I now renew my proposition. Very truly yours, J. C. I'niTciiARn. -Eagle, July 31. Now, ,1r. Eagle, if vou will have your GIANT COMMISSIONERS to pay this claim which is '.heir own current expenses I will not only take the amount actually paid, but will go vou one better and discount my claim ten pet cent in addition to 'caving oil' the interest. This proposition is offered in good faith and will be accepted whether any other claim holder does or not. No strings to my proposition at all.- Now suppose you put up or shut up. J. R. SWANN. You will note that Mr. Pritch ard says that he makes this propo sition with the condition that other claim holders enter into like agreement, while tho proposition jf Mr. Swann is o accept, his offer whether any one else doe or not. Still the Eagle would try to make the impression that Swann was dropping to Pritchards proposition. Why not accept Swa&n's ofler which has no "ifs" in it . JUST LOOK AT HER.
