--sA REPORT OF THE
 STATE EXAMINER On Books and Accounts of For- mer Sheriff D. D. Knight. CIRCUIT CLERK W. A. c. JONES Of Sumter County Found to be Due the State $559, Which He Fully Ex- plains in Statement to
 the Examiner.
CIRCUIT CLERK W. A. c. JONES

Montgomery, December 3.-(Special.)- John Purifoy, examiner of public accounts, has made report to the governor on the books and papers of D. D. Knight, former sheriff of Coffee county, in which he shows that MT. Knight is due the state sums for various errors in his accounts, the total of which amounts to $157.9i.
 The report says: "Mr. Knights books were not neatly nor correctly kept. The book in which he is required to keep his feed accounts does not comply with the re- quirements of the law. Numerous prisoners are shown to have been in jail by MT. Knights books and feed bills, while noth- ing else was produced to show that they even had criminal charges against them.'
 Assistant Examiner w. R. Foster has re- ported on the books of w. A. c. Jones, clerk of the circuit court of Sumter county. Mr. Jones is found to be due the state s55S.07, the main part of which accrued from feed bills not taxed.
 In explanation, MT Jones says:
 "The solicitors fees and feed bills pointed out in this Investigation which collected and failed to report over in some way over looked. I will at once remit this amount to the state treasurer. did not tax up the four removal bills because my understand ing was that code prohibiting this item In hard labor cases being taxed, the same law applying in these cases as is applied in penitentiary cases. If, however, the au- ditor rules that I should have taxes, on these items will remit the amount to the treasurer I did not tax feed bills in all cases of confession and issue execution against sureties therefor, because the rul- ing of the judge of this circuit is that whenever defendants who have been con- victed and with their sureties have con- fessed Judgment refused to pay feed bills that said bills might be deducted so far as the sureties are concerned and execution is- su only against defendants"
 Mr. Jones further states that although the judgment is ostensibly against defend- ants and sureties for these feed bills, yet as a matter of fact judgment was for cost excluding feed bills, hence execution could not issue against sureties for this item"

NO COTTON PACKERS.
Planters Having Trouble in Gathering
 Their Crop.

Greensboro, December 3.-(Special.)-Th continued bad weather has put stop to the picking of cotton, intelligent planters esti- mate that from 20 to 25 per cent. of the cotton crop is still in the field, and the opinion is general that only a small pro- portion of this will be gathered.
 A large planter in this county, who has a great deal of cotton that has not been picked over the first time, is offering 50 cents per hundred for picking, which is about one-half the cotton will bring, but Is unable to get hands. The inability to gather the present crop has made the posi- ton of cotton strong, and, realizing this fact, all planters who are able are holding their cotton for better prices. This makes trade dull and the money market tight.
 The South Alabama Methodist conference will meet in Greensboro on next Wednes- day. There will be about 300 delegates in attendance The people of the town are making arrangements to entertain the dele gates in their usual hospitable manner.

 Candidates for mayor of Greensboro are coming to the front It is understood that D. R. Randolf, the present mayor and R. F. Otis are in the field, and probably others will declare themselves for the position. The negroes have the balance of power, and the candidate who can get fair share of the white votes and the majority of the negroes is the winner, and for this reason the temptation to resort to questionable methods to win the negro vote Is so great that some of the best citizens favor a pri- mary.
 Today is the 8Sth anniversary of the birth of Mrs. Silvanie Bayol, nee Stollenwerck and in honor of the event there was a fam fly reunion at her residence. After the downfall of Napoleon her father refugeed from France to San Domingo, and when the insurrection in that island occurred he refugeed to Philadelphia with his family, where, in 1906, he was naturalized citizen of the United States, and in this city Mrs. Bayol was born. At the time of the insur- rection her falner was a large planter and the owner of over 400 slaves. Some of the family were murdered by the negroes, others made miraculous escapes from their fury-the recital of which would make an interesting and thrilling story.

AN OVERLOOKED ELEMENT


 It may be said with some truth that the colored men, as voters, have not had fair chance at the south, but in declaring this 1t must also be considered that, in the na- ture of the case, they could not have had this. The difficulty was that they must in- evitably bo used in politics. Under the best conditions their ignorance would have been against them there. As it was, they were separated on one side, and this side which contained little of the intelligence combined with good character of the south. A writer who is familiar with southern affairs says in this connection: "Of all the white men who successfully approach the colored man at election time. hardly one in ten does so with clean hands and patriotic purpose" Even those who had been aboitionsts could not save them from this. In asking whether the negro was prepared to receive the suffrage, serious mistake was made as to the character of the white men who were likely to influence him. They were not abolitionist philanthropists. but politi- cal scalawags, and they have done, per- haps. fully as much to bring colored suf- frage into disrepute as has the negro him. self.

The Emperor of Germany has run ming ear. A rather prosy statement to make of so great percentage it is true, nevertheless; and, what is worse, he can find no cure.

 Now contrast the experience Of the following citizens of the United States with the Emperor of Germany. Like the Emperor, they failed to find acure.
