on his record of two years made brief
statement of his administration and
from the books of the Office quoted
figures proving that he had reduced
expenses, although the CHAIN gang had
been larger than ever before and the
price of provisions higher. He had
bought two new road scrapes, new
road machine, new tents and other
wise increased the property OF the
county to the amount of several thou
sand dollars and had, nevertheless, de-
creased the expenditures. The work
he has done speaks for itself and
can be seen by all. If his record is
satisfactory and the people feel that
he has discharged his duties faithfully
and efficiently he will appreciate their

frequently to minors, The jury was
not at all inclined to mercy and found
him guilty on two counts and he was
given sixty days In the county Jail on
each The costs in the case amount
to 5000, and by the time he has
worked all this out ON the rock pile,

the county to feed them until 1t gets
