COUNTY TREASURY EMPTY.
A Dollar Dropped in its Tills WOult
Make Them Quake.

The Treasury of Durham county is
empty.
There is not dollar in it to pay off
claims as they become due or to meet
the running expenses of the county.
This State of affairs was brought
about on account of the fact that Sheriff
John v. Rigsbee has not yet received
the tax books and therefore cannot col
lect taxes. The books should have been
turned over to him the first Monday in
September but on account of not having
competent men in the Register of
Deeds office they were botched and
tangled up and are still in the hands of
the committee appointed to do the work
over.
The commission of county treasurer,
T. J. Holloway, which amount to $113.49,
and which was ordered paid several
days ago is still unpaid. There is moth
ing to pay it with.
Some of the accounts are being paid
off by Sheriff Riggsbee with his private
check.
The condition is deplorable one and
should be far warning to the people
to elect competent" men next time to
manage the county's affairs.

TO THE PUBLIC:

It is our intention to
make this the banner
week of the season. if
prices and good merchan-
disc will accomplish this
end. Realizing that the
public always appreciate
bargains in Dry Goods,
we will make this week
memorable in Offering
more genuine bargains
than were ever offered in
one week before. During
Mr.. McIntyre's stay at
Atlanta this week, it is
the intention of the man
agement of the store dur
ing his absence to show
him, on his return, the
largest weeks business,
by far, of any week this
season. We realize, in or
der to do this, we have to
make some sacrifices.
which we make in all the
different departments
with his permission. Our
aim for the week will be
to increase the sales by
decreasing the profit.
