COUNTY AFFAIRS
AUTHORITATIVE STATEMENT,

Free turnpikes were voted in thi
county in November, 1897 ant
during the next few succeedin.
months, all of same were purchased
save the Owingsville pike which
was purchased about a year later
At the time of purchase there was
not dollar on hand TO pay the
same nor to keep same in repair
A very serious problem confronted
the Fiscal Court as an Indebtedness
of nearly $50, 900 in vouchers, all
bearing interest. was outstanding
issued against the levies of the sue
ceeding years and if all OF these
vouchers were to be paid when due
practically no work In the way of
repairs on the pike could be made
and the pike would go to ruin. In
addition to this the turnpike com
panies anticipating free turnpikes
had done very little work on their
respective pixies for a year or two
previous. Consequently the pixies
were all very much worn and badly
in need of repair. The county thus
started in with heavy debt on it
on account of turnpikes and has
been struggling ever since to try
and reduce the debt and at the same
time keep up the pixies and pay
other obligations. There has been
paid in principal and interest on
this debt about $50 900, the amount
remaining unpaid being reduced to
about $37 .233 of which amount 81,
900 in bonds and the remaining g.
233 being in shape of vouchers.
Up to April, 1904, the magistrates
had supervision of the turnpikes at
which time two supervisors, r. ).
Stokely and W. w. Eubank, were
elected by the Court. The amount
of travel on the pixies since they
were freed has been very largely
increased and the wear and tear i q
greater thus making it
more expensive TO keep them in re-
pair. The cost of repairs on pixies
has been charged up to each pike
and has been paid on orders of the
or supervisors, all of
which are on file in County Clerks
office. Reports will be published
showing amount spent by said
supervisors and how spent, show
ing amount used on each pike and
that the said work done was neces.
sary and that the county got the
benefit of every dollar spent. The
amount of due and unpaid vouchers
outstanding Issued on account of
repairs is about Sd, 500 and there
are available funds on hand with |
which they can be paid. The
amount of vouchers for repairs is
sued and outstanding on account
If the levy of 1905 (Which levy is
low in the hands of the sheriff for
,ollection) is about 5000, and
when the levy of 1905 is collected
md paid over by the Sheriff there
will be ample funds to pay off all
for repairs for 1905 and
my remaining unpaid obligations
or repairs and still something to
'urther reduce the debt incurred
or cost.
A statement will be published
hortly which will give the -Hnan-
;ial condition of the county includ-
ng the turnpikes, their cost, and
mounts paid on purchase price,
ogether with what has been spent
or repairs on each and by whom
pent, together with other informa-
ion relative to the Fiscal affairs of
he county.

wrEkLY COTTON cRor nEPoRr.

Washington, Oct. 24.-The United States Weather Bureau today issued weekly cotton crop report as fol- lows:
 The weather in the forepart of the week ending October 23, was unrea- sonably warm and the latter part de- cidedly cool, with frost more or less damaging in every State. Heavy rains were detrimental over an area extending from south central Texas to western Tennessee, while no apprecia- ble amount of rain fell in western Tex as and over a large part of the east gulf and south Atlantic districts. In the earstern portions of the belt cotton picking has progressed uninter- ruptedly; 1t Is finished in southern Georgia and nearly so tn Louisiana and Alabama, except in the northern portion of the last named state; 1t is also nearly completed in southern Texas and with the exception of the sea island crop in South Carolina, in Tennessee, Arkansas, Oklahoma and the Indian Territory picking is from one-half to two-thirds completed. Heavy rains interrupted picking and caused considerable damage to open cotton in central and northeastern Texas, portions of Oklahoma and In- dian Territories. Arkansas. western Tennessee and extreme western Mis- sissippi. Boil weevils continue num- erous in Texas and the eastern par ishes of Louisiana.

 The crest of the high barometer area is now over eastern North Carolina. While temperatures have risen somewhat over the greater portion of the country east of the Rocky Mountains. under influence of a ba- rometric depression over northwestern Texas. still 1t was cool enough this morning for light to heavy frost in Georgia and North Carolina. The depression over north western Texas has also caused ., very gen. eraI increafe in cloudiness over the western half of the cotton belt. with light rains from middle Texas northeast through Tennessee and the Ohio valley and north to Nebraska. It will cause rains in Ala bama tonight and Wednesday Another high barometer area is dipping southward over the Dakotas, though a moderate de pression over Montana has caused light pre- cipitation on the northern slope of the Rockies And over the north Pacific coast region.
