HEED THIS.

The Treasurer's records show that under
revenues collected in the shape of taxes dur.
ing the '' flush times" in this County were
shamefully misapplied and squandered. and
that the County indebtedness continued to
increase up to the time Union officials were
chosen. The Democracy, who invariably
run official affairs with view to secure parti.
san advantages in preference to economical
public expenditures. left as leg .cy to the
taxpayers of this County, debt amounting
to $67. 467, as the Treasurer's Report of
December 18th 1868, will show.
Officials chosen by the Union Republican
organization took official charge at tune
when the prosperity of the County was at the
lowest ebb, and after an administration of
five or six years the Treasurer's books show
that the County debt has been reduced to
$38, ,273. Here we have reduction of
500, 1914. to be credited to the efficiency and
economy of the Union administration. Of
this 1914, the Treasurer's books show
that s. ,O9l was paid during the year ending
March lst, 1869.
In view of the fact that the Union officials
have steadily reduced the debt notwithstand-
ing the dull times and have also given the
people good County government, would it
not be folly and neglect of the best interests
of the County to allow change of admins
tration merely on partisan grounds? 1t Ger
tainly would, and we feel confident that
the thoughtful and prudent tax payers,
property owners, and business men of the
County, irrespective of party, will 9 let we'll
enough alone" and contribute to their own
and the public interest, by voting to retain
in office those who have proved their merits
by their good works. Let the people, re-
gardless of selfish party leaders, with axes
to grind, go to the polls and vote for the
Union candidates, and thereby secure two
years more economical rule and ensure a
further reduction of the County debt.

COnsolIng to Democrats.

The fact that the candidates running on
the so called Democratic ticket have promised
all their deputyships to boiling Republicans
is particularly encouraging and consoling to
consistent Democrats. We should think that
there were deserving Democrats enough in
the County To fill the deputyships in case Of
the election of the opposition ticket, without
giving all the reward to few boiling Republi-
cans. The managers of the clique ticket seem
to think that Democrats are plenty good
enough to do the VOTING, but when it comes
DEPUTYSHIPS, the renegade Republicans
must have the preference.
Such programme is certainly an outrage
against party usage, and honorable and fair
minded Democrats and Republicans SO view

The candidates presented by the Union
party for the support of the people are gen.

For honesty, efficiency, sobriety, and will
lingness to accommodate. they cannot be ex-
celled and we believe that the people OF
the County will announce at the polls that
they are the men in whose hands the official
affairs of Shasta shall be placed for the next
two years after March.

The few sorehead Republicans who have gone

precious little influence with them, and are a
feeble help to any party. The fact is the

H SCHOOL FUND.
Senator Norman Has an Elephant
on His Hands.
lie Don't Know What to Do With
Rutter's Notes.

The Nashville Banner of Saturday, in
reference to the long-talked Of school
fund question now about to be wound up,
says: During the winter of 1S6G-'b7,
when the Tennessee National Bank of
Memphis, the fiscal agent of the State to
the amount of nearly 100000, in 1870
bonds, composing th SACRED school
fund.-" began to grow "shaky," a LegisIa-
tive committee, of which Senator Nor
man was chairman, was sent to Memphis
to recover the fund. In making a settle
ment with Rutter, then President of the
Bank, the committee found that they
could do no better than take his notes
for about 100000 of the amount. These
notes were made payable to =. W. Hatch
EFT, at that time Comptroller of the State.
They have, however, been retained in
ent hour, although he has repeatedly
called upon the Legislatureto relieve him
of the responsibility. @"a ~
Now, it will be remembered that at the
last session of the General Assembly an
act was passed authorizing the Treasurer
to prosecute the claims of the State
against the defunct bank. Thomas r.
Smith, of Memphis, was selected as the
Treasurer's legal adviser. A few days ago
Mr.. Smith Informed the Treasurer that
the case had reached such a status as to
require that Rutter's notes should be
produced in court at Memphis. Sem
alto Norman was informed of the fact.
He at once am to Nashville and eon
ferred with the Treasurer on the subject.
While but too glad to get rid of the ele-
plant with which he had been so long Ell
numbered, he held that he could surren-
der the notes only to some one duly and
specifically authorized by the State Board
OF EducatiOu to receipt therefor. This
Board is composed, ez-ogiciO, of the Gov
ernor, Secretary of Stale, Comptroller,
Treasurer and Superintendent of Public
Instruction. They met on Friday to CON
slider the matter, but reached no conclu-
sion. A second meeting was held yester-
day, and it was determined that the Board
would have nothing whatever to do with
the notes, as any official action on It's
part would appear TO Indirectly legalize
The course taken by the committee ap-
pointed to settle with the bank. So the
elephant will have to remain in Senator
Norman's keeping until the Legislature
assemblies. In fact the pesky animal has
already proven so troublesome to all who
nave had anything to do with him, that
we are hardly inclined TO wonder that the
State Board Of Education has given him a
wide berth.

The Dickens habeas corpus case canae
up again last evening before Judge Foute.
The argument OF commenced on
Tuesday evening was resumed yesterday.
Counsel for the defense sought to intro
duoe the testimony Of X. W. Davis in the
Patterson case with reference to the ac-
lions Of Inman and Morgan, the peFpetra-
tors of the homicide on the Dickens place.
This was objected 10 by the State, hence
the discussion Of yesterday. The defense
seeks to show thai Inman and Morgan
had been hired by Wade Bolton 10 muir
der ThOs. Dickens. for the purpose Of max
ing out a case Of seifGefense. The defense
seeks further to show that ThOs. Dickens
had lust cause to fear that Wade Bolton
would take his life, and killed the aaid
Bolton only TO protect himself from as
S~assinatien, which he was continually in
fear of, in consequence of the murders by
Inman and Morgan, at his place, insti-
gated, as be believed, by Wade Bolton.
Counsel for the State insisted that in a
habsss corpus examination, after indict-
ment found for murder, no testimony
could be introduced except that which
may reduce the grade Of the odenso and
make II bailable. This testimony sought
10 be introduced BIZ the defendant, TO
