to the county commissioners or

ant should be an entire stran ger
to the county officers whose
records are to be examined.
It is the custom in this county
to have a committee appointed
by the grand jury at the Spring
term of court to examine these
records and report. The COM
mites usually have at least one
man who understands how to
keep a set Of books for a general
store, but they do not under
stand the art of discovering "er-
rors," and on account of person
al friendship often haven't the
heart to investigate discrepan-
cies, but are only too willing to
accept some verbal explanation
from the officer whose records
are being investigated and who
always renders valuable ':assist-
ance" in the examination of his
records and books.
AS Judge Roberts always
charges his jurics it is no renec.
ton on a county officer to have
his books and records examined.
II they are correct he should be
glad to have it known to all men.
II they are not correct, then all
men especially taxpayers, are
entitled to that information and
we, in this aaticle, intend no re-
Election on any county officer,
past or present, but we suggest
that an expert" accountant, &C.
casionally at least, would be of
great service in the examination
of the records of the county's Of
ficers. A competent man abso-
lutelv free from the influence of
personal friendship, sworn to
give true account after thor
ough examination without the as
slstance of the officers whose
records are examined.

The Irwin County Courier,
published at the county site does
not like the discrimination that
obtains in Irwin County courts
between the white and black
gamblers. Really there is not
much difference in the nature Of
the crime. We are very m UGH

but we do not agree that it should
be more vigorously prosecuted

tenn is responsible to a large ex-

SULLY THE BULL.

The Enterprise gives below a
remarkable instance of the man
ipulation of the cotton market:
New York, March 14.-Wild
panic reigned among the bears
of the cotton market today for
half an hour, and scenes were en-
acted in the pit that had never
been seen there before even by
the Oldest trader. Hundreds of

bears had covered their contracts
at a loss, prices eased off from
III enty-five to seventy Gently cents
bale in two minutes.
Plans for this killing" were
laid Friday afternoon when Mr..
Sully got impatient at the slurs
cast at him by several specula-
tors who had tried to follow his
lead. He was asked at noon Fri
day whether cotton would go
higher, and refused to answer.
At once it was reported that he

a raid on the market. Prices

The Egyptians were therefore

the time the New York market

rains in the South were reported
to have delayed planting the new

battle was like the loosening of a

shrieking for cotton.
There was absolutely none for
sale. The bull brokers stood
calmly looking on at the frantic
bears, waiting until their leader
gave the signal to sell. Mr.. Sui

suddenly he nodded to a broker,
