remai in uncollected. The auditors
condemn the bad business methods
Of collecting county taxes and spe-
cial stress is laid upon collectors
who do not collect. In other words,

the same old ruts, the county will
become bankrupt. The auditors
close their report with this recon-

PEELED to report, after thorough
study of the system of county ac-
counts, that it is imperfect and mis-
leading. 1t was only after great
labor that we were able to make an

Of accuracy, show the application

to be of the highest Importance
that more improved methods of ac-

that the annual audit be changed
from January to July. The audi

their recommendations should be

JOSEPH Mack, q member Of Com
pany G, First Colored Volunteers.
writes a letter to the North Ameri-
can. taking Frank Stephens, the
apostle Of Single Tax, to task for
his speech in which he prayed that
the God OF battle would bring dis
aster to the American troops in the
Philippines for trying to force their
bayonets down the throats Of natives
crying forliberty. Concluding, Mr..
Mack says:
"Let me tell you, Mr.. Stephens,
that the real war god and the God
Of every Christian, has been with
us, and has guided our undertake
ings. In consequence, we have met
with nothing but success. Not a
man, not an American, would have
made such speech.
Therefore, |, as a soldier you
would have annihilated, pray to the
God Of Justice that you, and the
men who applaud you, may live as
uncomfortably as possible; may
ruin stare you in theface as long as
you live under the protection of the
Stars and Stripes. A sample like
YOU is not fit for the laws protec-
ton.
Personally, believe there are
enough willing hands in the Eighth
Army Corps to find enough of the
finest quality of Manila hemp to
help you along in your future
speeches"
