a high place in the public regard, and
with reason, it being under the direction

MEssas. ED1ToRs: The Grand Jury; i'd
tbeir Present:rcnt ut the late term OF the
Circuit Court, against the County Commits
sioners, having seen proper to publish my
account against the Commissioners, would
ask; to state the following in explanation Of
the apparently high prices therein charged
against the County:
Being fully aware Of the fua1cial condition
Of the County, and that there were claims,
largely il excess of the County Taxes to be
paid for the past year, selling as low as 50
per cent I could not expect to he paid for
these goods under fifteen months at the low
est calculation, even if then, and as I could
not be paid interest, was compelled TO
charge such prices as would pay me for the
use of my capital only charged an amount,
if paid in fifteen months, that would be equal
to the prices paid by the best men in this
County. In some cases know they willing
" pay 10 per cent on the cash prices of the
goods, and one per cent. per month interest;
and in other cases, cash prices at per cent.
per month. Nov, for fifteen months, oc>
duct per cent. per montll-which is As per
cent-from my bill, and | am satisfied no
reasonable man will complain Of the prices
and as Mr. ". G. Mayes and r L. M'CaHgh-
rim were called before the Grand Jury to
compare their cash prices with mine, rs puo-
lis!le,l By the Grand Jury, l am authorized
BY these gentlemen to refer to them as to the
correctness of this statement, and that they
are being paid per cent. per month, or its
equivalent, by the best men in the County,
for such articles Of merchandise as is charged
in my bill. And, Furthermore, I will say in
conclusion, that would be glad to receive
the cash for tFis bill, at the cash prices on
the days they were delivered, without inter-
est, if the Treasurer Of the County will pay
it now.
Respectfully,
