That BONDING Question.


A representative of the Register
had another short interview with
General McCausland yesterday on
this interesting and important mat
ter. The General said: 81 wish it
to be distinctly understood that all
that 1 have said or may say now on
this question is simply the express
sion of my opinion. I didnot seek
to be mixed up in the issue, but
Mr.. Meek, the County Commits
sioner, and others sought my opin-
ion, and 1 have given it. It is no
voluntary seeking of publicity on
my part.
81 wish to point out clearly that
this matter of bonding the debt of
the county is not so clearly under
stood among the generality as its
importance merits. 1t must not
be forgotten that the Circuit Court
will have to pass upon the legality
of claims before they can be voted
upon. All claims involved will
have to be submitted to the Court
before they can be voted upon.
MANY of the people holding
claims should, if they desire to
protect their interests, employ the
services of competent lawyer to
find out whether these claims have
been incurred within the year in
which they were allowed. or wheth-
er other claims have been paid in
lieu thereof, because a very nice
question of their legitimacy and
legality is sure to arise.
'This question. and all questions
involving the Indebtedness of the
county will have to come before
the Circuit Court and be passed
upon by that body. Then ell
fraudulent claims will be elimina-
ted; all legal claims be allowed,
and it will he ascertained definitely
whether such claims have been
paid by the district officer in their
proper places or the proper agent.
81 should advise those holding
claims, as matter of wise policy,
to ascertain to whom they are
amenable, whether to the county or
the county officers. as that distinc-
ton will make a very material diff
ference"

VIC DsYolt oil well at Letart IS


The Deyolt oil we'll at Letart Is
still at work in Big Injun. These
people, who are investing their
money In these wells. are all good
mon. They are strangers, having
come here from other states. They
are probably making an honest eff
fort to develop the oil fields of this
section, if there are any. 1t is not
improbable, however. that they win
look to their own interests above
others. Should they strike good
paying well it is also probable that
we viii never know it until all the
adjoining tracts of land are under
lease to them. When they have a
large portion of the land in the
surrounding country leased then
may we expect to know whether
we have pay sand or not. Every
farmer should lease his land to
them OF put down a well Of his own.
Thus is the thusness of the thus
they won't spend their money and
tissue to enhance the value of some
other mans land.

What He Said.

Senator Pettigrew, Republican
u. S. Senator. just before he was
stricken down, and who is now
happily recovering, used the fol-
lowing language during his speech
ON the tariff bill amendment:
Cali the Republican party stands
for to-day, inasmuch as protection
is no longer an issue and the South
is broken up, is as the champion
of the trusts and gold standard, as
the special representative of the
classes against the masses.

It has Just been recalled by some
one that about ten years ago Gin
cinnati seer prophesied that the
year 1897 would be one fraught
with disturbed elements. Earth
quakes, upheavals of the earth,
storms and pestilences, according
to this prophet. would be plentiful,
and the earth would be in constant
turmoil. There may be nothing in
this prophecy, but it does look like
the year is starting off in good
way to fulfill what was said. Hicks
has said that this year would be
one of great destruction to prop
erty and loss of life. Anyway we
have these things to think about
and observe to see if these men
have prophesied correctly.
