The following are the amounts of taxes collected from discoveries as accounted for by the sheriff in his final settlement of the tax lists for the year'a mentioned below: . I9OO School to discoveries 180 87. General countv to discoveries 195 42. Pauper ta discoveries 8 80. County road, to discoveries 44.37 Juty to discoveries 88,75. 1 Total 517.21 . 1899.

Total 527.71 Wc give - above the nmounts of discoveries as turned in by the shilUortlMS year's 1898, 1899 and 1900, as s. own ny the finance settlement book. We give the amounts .of discoveries for the year- 1898 and 1900 for the purpose ol Bhowi"g about what the average amounts of discoveries is usually turned in. The strange thing nbont. the ac count ior the veaj 1899 is how the general county fund could get 60.61 as its pirt of the diacoveries for that year and the school children of tl.e conn ty did not get a cent. It U our un .enstanding of 'he law that tax-s collected f-om discov eries is dUtributed amoog the Various c -unty funds just the same as any other taxes. Will the Eagle, the moutlip ece of the Court House' Ring, pie se tell us what became of the part 01 the discoveries for the year 1859 that ought to have been paid into the sohool funds 7 This is a question that not cn'y affects every taxpayer in the county but every little boy and girl in the county has a right to know, why they did not get the benefit of that part of the money coll ided out of the diseoveriee- for the year 1899 that belonged to the school funds. .

Where li the Money It is a well known fact by all the readers ot Th Record tha: section 79Q ne rA .11 ... w. .' officers to render a verified and itemised annua-' account on the first Monday in D. cember or otttner if required. The law specifically decl.nes that the ac count must specify the person to whom every- cent is paid. The board ot countv commissioners must pass on the account and if ttiey approve it, then the account must be recorded on a book kept for that purpose just the same as a dted must bo recorded and the original repoi t kept on file in the office. We give below .in exact copy of all of the reports as attempted to be m ide by the preson register of deeds of Madison county Dec. 1st. 1898, annual account of V. B. Davis, register of doeJs. Madison couuty. Dr. To marriage licnse funds beginning Dec. 1st. 1897 and end ing Dec. 1st. "98, $124.00. Credit by paying for bo ksaiid itationary for register s oflice $124.00.

T cish and claiu:s to balance $147 00. We give above again t,he exact cony of all the annua! reports ever filed bv V. B. Davis reg'ster of lecds during the six vears in which he has beet) in oflice. We are intormt d that he claims to have paid the money into the lienrt aud that the sheriti has set tled with the county for the mounts We can not understand why Mr. Davis would make his reports as above it the money was turned into the sheriff. If he did why should he take credit for books and stationary bought for the regis'er of deeds office ? It o".y shows tuat if he had mad is report" as rfequired by aw, by itemisi g every d 'liar that he pays out, to whom and for what purpose then there coiild be no doubt about how the matter is. But as it is the taxpayers have a rght to ask questions as to what has become of funds which the reports of the offuer d" not show. A 1 ublic office is a public trust has Iwen well said by a good mar., and the funds that he handles belong to the public and the taxpayers to whom it belongs have a right to know all about it and if the re ports 1 the officers do not show it, it is not only the privilege but the nhsolutc duty of every good citizen to ask such ques ions as will ascer tain 1 he facts in the case. So if the officers will only make their anno 1 reports as required by law there will be no trouble to tell what b'ec lues of the money. . The fol owing is a list of the amounts of the arrears of insolvents as accounted for by the sheriff of the county in his final settlements of the tax lists for the years below named: 1901 $21518 , 1900 , nothing 1899 nothing 1898 nothing r 1897 , nothing The rear 1897 is as far back as we could find any books in the office wherein anything con Id I- ascertained about the settlements of theiublio fundi ot the county. Wt won d be glad to be able to ruu the xbove list back for several years more but it it impossible on account of not being able to find tns books ' 'r . Will the Eagle, through its trade and professional editor, please tell us why it is that there ws not a cent turned in at the final settle ment of the sheriff of the tat liU of the years t8o7, I898, I899 and 1900 and that there were $215113 turned in at tie. final settlement of the list of 190t, after The Recorl had been starter .- f we- want no dodging and crying persecution of good county officers in answer to the question. That will not satis fy, the tax payers. - Answer this question. Answer this question. Answer this question. Don't be deceived by the Court jj0.0 Ringters vot on the 4 th ,ocordine to yours own diCUteei. I Some o' the- Court "House., ring cmdidates saw the hole-in which i'16 failure ! -the, prtyiuR over "f i tbe Krreaw of luso.ve.nts put some of their men and thev rushed to Superintendent James for t ho. pur pose of getting htm to give them a statement of the f ct thut the sheriff had paid in arrears of insol vents for the yeurs 18WV 1899 and 1900. They got the certificate and went out on the campaign making great capitol out of 11. But. upon investigation it is founil that those amounts were n .t turned into the superintendent until about, the 12th day ol Jan uary 1902 long alter the final set tlcmentg for the years 1898, 1899 and 190J had been made. Then they come in and claim credit for turning it in at that late day. But turning it in at that time only proves thM conten'ion of The Re ord. That is: that because it has forced the officers to make their reports and when thi y begun to make their reports then the.-e ront ters that had been held, back were brought to the front and the school funds got the .benefit of them which it never would have done had it nt bet-n for Tho Record. We have asked the Eagle ?evorsl times and the qtieiti.,n is still standing in this issue of the t)ar, to explain how these matters uro but it savs not a word. It can not deny them because it knows we can produce the records of the set tlements and show that we have sta'ed nothing but facts The Eagle had innch rather get oil a lot of gush in reference to Mr. Swann in which there is not a single word of truth than to d -al wi'h cold facts taken from the" records of the settlements of the county wherein public funds were not turned into the proper place. Let us hear from you about these matters. The Eagle is great on falling in line. It ha- been the position of this paper all the time that it was an outrage lor solicitors ot the court to confer ilh defendants and make deals with them outside of the court house and allow cases to g off of the docket without r. Ui.l and fair investigation in open court; that the solicitor had no more .right, in, mural- to duker ...... 1. . 1 . . 1 1 j . .1 . . . a civil action. We have before, stated what was our hon;st opinion, that is, "That Madison countv h s suffered more on account of solio tors taking submissions- out side of the court liousi than from any other oi e cause." The Eagle criticised this papur severely for its stand on the question at the time. Since Mr. Mark W. Brown, the republican candidate for solicitor, has taken the same position th.it this paper his maintained all the time, the Eagle comes out in an editorial an indorses our posi'ion on the question and urges that as a strong reason why ever- man ought to vote for Mr. Brown. 1 here would be some reason in their claim that every inun ought t3 vote for Mr, 'Brown on that grouud if it were not for the fact that Mr. W J. Cock, the caud'date against Mr. Brown is just as strongly in. favor ot that position as Mr. Brown is. Mr. Cock authorizes us to state that he is unalterably oppts-td to any submissions being taken out bide ot the court house by any solicitor aud that it he is elected that he will see that every case is fully investigated in open court and that he will make no deals with defendants for cases but will appear on the states side of the docket stnC'y, GOES LIKE .HOT CAKES.

Z ACHARY. r Marshall, Oct. 29th, 1902. - Are the people of Madison" county satisfied with their couuty governnr-nt ? If not, the power iV in their hands to change it. No one party will hold office contin--uously without becoming corrupt The republican party has had con tr 1 here for many years, and ;we 1 eed not add has become corrupt. It takes no argument to prove this, -except that the county is in debt seventy thousand dollars and poll-' tax. three dollars and thirty-five cents. We pay a higher poll than -any county in the state, - wet our county debt increases. -If this : thing lasts it means ruin to jthe s property holders of the county. The Court House Ring realizes for the first time in its rotten history tlrat it faces defeat. The cold, stem fact that the good people of Madison county are indignant at the management of affairs -.: is causing some of the ringstersto shake in their boots. They hope by a rally to drive their men in'c line. This game has beeu played on the people before. As Lincoln says: "You can fool all the people; a part of the time, you can fool a ' part of the people all the time, but you can't fool all the people all the ' time." We don't believe the repnb " lican party can be fooled ajrain bv the sound of a brass. rontL. The - known is as follows: Two taps on Jim Whites drum, three toots on doc roberts horn, fall in line and be decorated with campaign but- , tons; go home and. vote for the i Court House Ring. - Al'er the Court House Ring has : done every thing in their power for several months to circulate false charges ou J. R. Swann nf the most frivilous kind. The r circulated frivilous charges because- ' t hey could get nothing against. Mr. " Swann that there was any truth in so thev had to con flue their stand r to frivilous charges. - But now as the election is near : at band they think that they can make charges that can not be an swered before it is too late to pre venttheru injuring Mr. Swatiu in his election. , ; ' . -.- But. if there could have been any 1 hing that there was truth in con. jured up that wojld have injured ' nun trey rouui nave long sitiee bpen circulating it. Then let any ' thi g that they will start at this late day be regard-d only in the light of a cainpa gn li& So .let every oce be ou tho look out t r such lies, for the crowd that is' fiihtinu Mr. Swann will resort to a iy thing in their power to carry their point. v ;. ;.;-.? FALSE REPORTS. The report in ciicu'ation that I favors property qualification fir voting is absolutly fale; I favor the iarment of joU tax bi fore oting aud that it all. And I believe every other tax payer in he cpuu'y endorses this. - The report is being circulated for no other purpose than to divert attention from th bad manag ment of county affair, dont Is deceived.- v ' J.
