collector Given's Accounts.

il lew days ago County Treasurer
Herbert published statement showing
the indebtedness of each Of the county
collectors for 1873, in which statement
the amount yet due by Archie
Given, collector of the northern district
of this city, was stated at So, 4lO As.
Mr.. Given not willing to lay under such
An imputation wrote an answer con-
tanning the following:
On looking over your paper (the "E.

Treasurer that owe the county -, 40

figures of the duplicates given to me by

In answer to the above Treasurer
Herbert replied as follows:
The statements of indebtedness Of the
collectors Of this county for the year
1873, as appeared in the every Even
ing'' of Friday last, believe to be in
the main correct, but am not re
5ponsible for any errors made by cor
respondents or the papers. 1t is my
duty, by resolution of the Levy Court
to furnish these statments to the court
Mr.. Given il. his statement is as much
in error as your correspondent was, as
he neglected to add to his statement ths
negro tax, which last year amounted tc
between $500 and 5000. have settled
with Mr.. 6. for three years taxes, EN-
bracing the sum of considerably oveI
500. 900, and We have never had dis
pute over one cent in our settlement
and presume we will not have any il
settling the taxes of 1873.
have always said, and say now,
that Mr.. G. is one of the hest paying
collectors the county has ever had o
any party. The practice of publishing
the statements is, believe, good one
as it lets the sureties of the collectors
see at once, their Indebtedness, and i:
also information for the general public
At the last session of the Levy Court {
re olution was passed requiring me tt
publish monthly statements of the
standing OF the collectors, which a;
ril-y will be under my own signature
may be depended for their correct

Sunday morning and evening two ex-

the command given by Pharaoh's

Where the Money Goes.
WHY THE HERALD WANTS KARR
RE-NOMINATED FOR TREASURER.

The readers of The Press remem-
Der last fall that we repeatedly offered
to advertise the Treasurer's Tax No
tice for twenty-five Dollars, which
offer Mr.. Karr refused. Below we
give what he paid the Herald and
Tribune for the work:
New Lexington Herald for publishing
Treasurer's Tax Notice s11S 81
Tribune, for publishing same 118 81
1t will be seen that he paid Ninety
Three Dollars and Eighty One Cents
to each Of these papers more than we
asked to do the work. Furthermore
the prices charged and paid was 8
swindle, and we are prepared to prove
it. We are ready at any time to
measure the matter and allow the
tabular work prices and show up the
swindle. If any one will cause us tc
be put on the witness stand to recover
the overcharge we will set the matter
up according to law and prove what
we say.
Ifthe taxpayers are opposed to thi
state of affairs, 1et them come forward
and speak out. Don't merely con.
denim the matter, but act. Wipe ou
this corruption. You have the powe,
to do it, and you are to blame if yo,
don't do it.
