Since the murder of Helen Bishop and

Officials Affected Thereby.

Has Been DisObeyed-- mo

ditOr Petty.

somewhat or sensation was sprung
at the District Building at noon today
when Commissioner West announced the
fact that the coupons. cash books. and
cash ledgers in the Offices OF the Col
lector and Assessor OF Taxes have not
been audited within the past FIVE years.
and this Notwithstanding an order issued
by the Commissioners. more than two
years ago. covering the matter specif-
cally.
Order of Commissioners
On the 9th of May. 1901, the District
Commissioners passed the following or
der:
THAT there is hereby appointed q
committee to consist Of a clerk from
each OF the following ofhces-Assessor.
Auditor, and Collector-whose duty it
shall be TO examine the coupons. cash
books, and cash ledgers after the regu-
lar posting has been done, in order TO
see that no property upon which pay
ment has not been made is credited and
that property on which payment has
been made is properly credited Said
committee to begin its work upon the
completion Of the May collections OF
this year"
Mr.. Vests Inquiries.
After these facts had been discovered
Commissioner West sent three let
ters. one to Auditor Petty. one to AS
SCISSOR Darneille, and the other to E G..
Davis. Collector OF Taxes. The letters
we're mailed June 16- Answers have
been received from the Assessor and
from the Collector. but not from Auditor
Petty.
IT the letter the Commissioner asks II
the order of May % has been adhered
to. il the books have been audited since
that time, or il they have ever been
audited. within their knowledge.
Mr. DarneilIe says be is unable 20 an
swer this query, but since his incumbeney
December l. 1s99). all the auditing 1as
been by the employees of his depart
ment, under his supervision.
Mr.. Davis Candid and Cool.
Mr.. Davis makes even more start
ling answer. He says: Il have no
knowledge that any work in the way
Of auditing books OF coupons was dcne
under this order. I have no knowledge
that the cash books or the tax ledgers
have ever been audited I'D TO date 1
cannot state why the order of May "a,
1901. was not carried into execution"
Thus 1t VIII be seen that the Com
missioners tried to forestalI just such
peeuIations as haye recently been dis
closed in the Auditors Office.
The strange circumstance connected
with this announcement today is that
although these three letters, asking for
an explanation, were mailed June 1s.
Auditor Petty has made no answer
whatever. Commissioner West said to-
day that steps would at once be taken
to have the books, coupons. and iedge-s
brought u2 to date. and he would see
that the order Of May %. 1901, was
obeyed hereafter.

DIR La FonzO's Trip to Highland

"Dr La Fonzo filled his engage

to pay specialist and the Doctor

ington, where he hope he will fare
better"
The above is comment on DR. LA
Fonzo's Highland visit, made by
the Staunton Argus.
Highland people are a healthy
lot, generally speaking, yet they
are more or less subject to ills COM
mon to mankind They 90 to
Staunton sometimes and pay a
specialist $3.50 for the treatment of
a week or so, but more frequently

to subsist on their incomes and are
fairly well contented. They have
reasoning power as we'll, and in the
case of DIR La Fonzo they used it
something after this fashion: If
DR. La Fonzo is the wonderful man
he claims to be he would not haye
to seek in the highways and hedges
fer patients on whom to lay his
magic hand If DR. LaFonzo can
perform the wonderful cures he
claims for himself, his Office hours
would be from 6 a. M. to 6 p. m.
and all the while he would have
to carry a gun and BE provided
with a oody guard, as protection
against an afflicted populous.
When Highland people used their
reasoning power in this way they
did it to good purpose, We verify
believe.

Monterey, Va, Friday, Oct, 8, 1903

In their mass meeting here last
county court day the Highland re-
publicans put themselves on record
as being decidedly favorable to no
party lines in county elections, and
the sense of the meeting on tn 9
point was expressed in a manner
that indicates that it is their desire
that brotherly love continue as
heretofo e when it comes to a hone
folks race.
1t is our opinion that. as q rule,
mnch strife and bitterness are en-
gendered in primaries that can be
entirely eliminated from the con-
test for county Offices when they
are not brought into use, and we
firmly believe IN voting for the
man and not for his political prin-
cipals, as would be the case should
parties make up their tickets and
place them in the field. It's often
the case that the man who manip-
ulates the machinery of his party
is not the best man for the office.
Brother Sterrett should feel like
patting himself on the back, and
saying-thank you-to his repub-
lican county men for the magnan-
imous spirit shown by them in re-
gard to his candidacy for the house
Of delegates. This is decided de-
parture from usual political custo-
ms, and the action speaks in no
uncertain way of the high esteem
in which Mr. Sterrett is held by his
own home people.
