The County Statement

Greenbrier Independent
The published financial statement of
Randolph county is recommended to
other county officials as model. Every
order given for the year ending May
81, 1901. is published accredited to the
proper fund, and the people of that
county can see at glance to what use
their money was put-Wheeling Reg
lister.
There are but few counties In the
State, so far as our observations goes
in which the financial statement is got
ten up and published in the manner
and form as the law contemplates
Compare these bunglesome statements,
as we see them published in most OF
the counties, with the well arranged,
systematic statemnts made by the
banks and you will see at once the
point of our criticism
For the law on the subject see chap
ter 80, section 35 OF the Code The
law provides for an itemized statement
of receipts and disbursements, showing
what amount Of money has been to the
credit of the county during the year,
whence derived, under distinct heads,
how this money was expended. So that
a proper statement would show, LIST,
the receipts-how much from the levy
and how much from other sources-2d,
statement presented under different
hoa Iipoc tho for y>Oadc for
bridges, for juries, for salaries. etc,
showing how the'money was expended
and to whom paid. The law clearly
contemplates a statement, which, when
examined by the taxpayer, will enable
him to see how much money the county
Court has handled and what use has
been made of it. The clerk is required
to make out this statement and the
court to allow him a reasonable compen-
sation for the work. 1t will cost no
more, If as much, to publish a proper
statement, such as will give the tax
payer the information desired, than 1t
will and does cast to publish such I'M
systematic and unintelligible state
ments as are now so common through
out the State. The County Court is re-
aured, under heavy penalties, (see
chapter and section referred toy to
have such a statement made and we,
therefore, respectfully suggest the pro-
prity of a compliance with the law.

It will be pleasant tidings to all
lovers of music that Sousa is coming TO
Wheeling in the course OF his limited
tour in September before he sails for
England, where he is to give a series OF
concerts on the other side OF the water
until Christmas time. 1t has been
long time since Sousa has been heard
in this vicinity, and his multifarious
engagements will prevent his appearing
here again for at least two years 10

selves of this, the only opportunity or
hearing the greatest concert band IN
the world. Sousa is announced to give
two concerts at the Fair Grounds on
Saturday afternoon and evening, Sep
TENDER 81, and the customary popular
programme as well as the popular
Sousa encores will be provided. Among
the many musical novelties which
Sousa has arranged to present to the
British public. and which he will OFFER
here, is his latest march, THE Irwin

finest march he has written since lhe

SUCCESS OF WIRELESS TELE-
GRAPHY.

Probably the first really practical use
otSs.ireless telegraphy was when the
swift Cunarder, the Lucania, was ap-
preaching the American shore on her
last trip.
II there is anything that the ocean
voyager, cut off from all communica-
ton with land, country and home for
a week or more, wants as early as pos
sible, 1t is the news. He is ravenous
for news. Wireless telegraphy has cut
twelve hours off his agony.
While the Lucania was yet far cut in
the ocean-a full half days journey
from land-the wireless telegraph in
strument ON board be gan to tick as the
waves of the electric current from its
twin instrument on shore at Nantucket
touched its delicate organism. The
marvellous machine told those on board
all the news of the day as it was licked
off by the operator hundreds of miles
distant on shore at Nantucket sta
ton.
Communication was established with
the Cunarder Friday evening about
twelve hours before the ocean grey
hound reached port. Which establishes
tie practicability Of the Marconi sys-
tenn beyond question.

embodied in the immortal principle OF
the Declaration Of Independence. There
is no other argument, and there never
will be. We must have schools, courts,
sewers, libraries. Why should only
men decide about them? Is 1t because
men own the property? There are now
37S women millionaires in the United
States, and twenty-five years ago there
was no male millionaires. Women are
now engaged in about 400 occupations;
ley are earning money everywhere
and the woman in the home who re-
ceive no wage is yet wage Garner. Is

| According to the census. more women
| than men could read their ballots. 1t Is
because men are more virtuous? Only
| one-tenth of our criminals are women
Is it because women cannot fight? All
gentlemen. that is all you know about

no qualification possessed by men

LONDON, AHg. 1.-THE proroguing

finance was the only big thing dealt

ever before. Mr.. Balfour, the Govern

bungled in the war, and in the finance.

r,orp,p AMONG LAND-sEEKERs.

The SEQUEL to the recent oklahohia

and also more or less interesting IL not
sensational. 1t appears that thus lar
there have been no attempts 10 put
the nrize winners, those who drew the
first numbers, in possession OF their
several quarter sections of land.
Naturally the lucky ones selected inc
most valuable sites, those in close
proximity to one or other OF the three
principal town sites reserved by the
Observation-Disclosures Lawton ana
Hobart. But the multitudinous squat
tiers attracted by the promise OF Tree
lands did not wait for the successful
holders of prizes to stake on their rlch
claims adjacent to the town sites. AT
Lawton, for example, squatters are
now encamped on nearly every town
lot included in the quarter section Sc
iected by the drawer of ticket Numper
One In the distribution. They have
sunk wells, begun to build houses, and
acted generally like genuine owners OF
the land, to which they have no legal
title. The Government awarded the
land to Woods, the fortunate holder OF
the first number drawn, but has neg
lected to put him in actual possession.
Resort to the courts would doubtless
result in long drawn out legal proceed
inrs. the cost OF which might easily
oyerbalance the value OF the property
involved. Also. there is bare chance
that the anti-lottery law might be in
voked to nullify the whole proceed
ings.
