COUNTY AUDIT
IS COMPLETED

The accounts Of two of the rura

ment charged against them but i,
these instances we fail to find tina
the penalty or percentage due and
chargeable for failure to pay The
taxes assessed within the limit pre-.
scrioed by law. has been paid into
the county treasury.
ln the table of disbursements un-
der any account, the figures set op-
posite to any name indicate the Aum.
Der OF warrants issued to such person
under that account during the fiscal
year. The absence of such figures
indicates the issuance Of but one war
rant.
The method of issuing warrants
payable to bearer so prevalent
during previous years, has been prac-
tically abolished, as only two such
warrants were drawn duringthe pres
ent fiscal year, and the payments
thereby represented we were able to
ascertain, by personal investigation,
had been properly applied.
1t is impractical BILE to make prof.
table comparisons between this audit
and the last previous one because of
the fact that the new Levy Court
districts were instituted in the mid
die OF the fiscal year.
We again call attention to the
sums collected for Negro School Tax
in the rural districts and still in the
hands of the County Treasurer and
Lot dlSbursed, because he does not
know to whom to pay it, also to the
financial system in vogue in county
affairs referred to in our last report; /
and we again suggest that but
eight amendments to existing law
are necessary to remedy these diff.
culties.

Cheap Advertising Mediums.

Some short $ GIFTED advertisers
seem to think that the mediums
which offer the lowest price per line
or inch are necessarily The cheapest
mediums. They do not take into
account either size or quality Of cir
culation, says the National Adver-
tiser.
Rates charged frequently bear no
relation whatever to the value Of
tho medium. a rate may be low
relatively and yet positively high.
The paper which offers the lowest
rate per line per thousand Of circu-
latlon is tho cheapest medium, all
other things being equal

that it was United States member of

which carried the letters U. S. S. H..
and l came to the conclusion in my own
mind that it must have come from the
government hospital for sailors"
The reporter smiled and explained
that it was the supply wagon from the
United States Soldiers Home.
Now that we are on the subject |

Yes: they are members of the Dis

thought seemed to strike him. II am

suggestive of the Grand Old Party, and
can it be that this is the private wagon

INITIALS WHICH PUZZLE STRANGERS

There are good many queer things

have finally mastered the arrangement
of streets SO that | can get back to
my hotel, 1 see something every few
minutes that completely floors me-
We'll. Washington people are good
natured, and as / have a few minutes
TO spare I will volunteer to set you
right on some of the hard problems, .
answered the Times man.
"All right. Can you tell me why the
sun is in your face whenever you walk
out on Pennsylvania Avenue? 1t seems
to me that the glare in the middle of
Sahara could not be more searching and
on the principal street of the Capital
City"
Why the Sun Shines.
The reporter launched into an exhaus-
tive explanation of the plan of the city
as laid down by L'Enfant. and endeavor-
ed to show that the Avenue was so
placed respecting the course of the orb
OF day as TO receive the most sun
shine possible during the day The ex-
planation was not very convincing. but
It sufIiced with the countryman. who was
busy watching the antics of an automo-
bile which had slipped a cog and refused
to start.
That is all very we'll, and | am
nightly pleased with the public build
ings and the general appearance of the
city, but there is one thing that is too
hard for me. See these wagons going
about the street with those rail fence
initials on them. I'll be dog-goned If
can see what they mean
For instance" said the reporter.
We'll, there Is wagon over there
with u. S. y. ON the side; that means
United States Navy, / suppose"
The reporter nodded. with the remark
That is easy, and the wagon marked
u. S. a. is the rig from the War De-
partment, and means United States
Army"
But here comes one. You see the
letters L. S. s. ID. K. Now, what in the
