Fourth Street Gets Il.

The bid of J. w. Vanderbilt to furn-
ish room and all equipments for the
postollce for period of ten years has
been accepted and the department has
so notified him. Work on the propos-
ed building which is to be 30xSO feet,
IN the corner of Fourth AMI Pine, one
story, will be started soon as it must
be ready for occupancy by Nov. LIST.
An agent of the government will be
here shortly to superintend the con.
,truction of the building and assist in
arranging the interior of the building
and the fixtures.
This will necessitate the removal of
one of the old land marks-the pillow
on the corner of Fourth and Plne-the
tire relic of 1899. When this is remOv-
ed, a numder of relics, property of the
Masonic fraternity, will be unearthed,
as the corner stone there was laid by
that order when it built on that corner
many years ago.

he escaped instant death is beyond

assistance rendered. This is another

children have more luck than sense.

ocoNEE's OFFICIAL EXPENDITURES.

County Treasurer w. j. Schroeder pub
fishes this week the conclusion of his
annual report of expenditures Of county
funds for 1904. Last weeks report was
for all expenditures except the school
funds, and totaled up S73, ,456.O1, against
$43, 15O.O8 for the preceding year. This
at a glance, and without looking at the
facts as they really are, makes showing
that is apt to be criticised by the tax.
payer. AS matter of fact, however,
the expenditures for 1904 are much less
than for 1908. During the past year old
debts, known as "past Indebtedness"
W ,re paid to the amount of $41, ,222.64,
and in addition to this claim of
S1,033.3S, for building Prather's bridge,
was settled The comparative showing,
therefore, would be as follows:
Expenditures, 1903. ....... $43, ,15O O6
Expenditures, 19O4(S73, ,45e.0),
less past Indebtedness paid,
SAL, ,22z.64, and Prather's
bridge, 81, ,033.33 ......... 1920 04
Decrease for 1904. ...... Sill ,920 OF
In addition to this there was, in round
numbers, $4,000 brought forward for
payment of 1905 clairs, which has been
used for settling the early claims for
this year. Adding this to the decrease
of 1904 from 1903's expenditures it shows
$14, l20.O2. This is q splendid showing,
and proves conclusively that Oconee's
officials look we'll to the economical ad-
ministration of her affairs. 1t is but
just to state, however, that the heavy
expenditure for 1908 was due to the
the county approximately $4,000 for
rebuilding and repairing bridges washed
away or damaged and in repairing roads
made impassable by the flood, We
deduct the Prather's bridge item from
regular county expenditures because this
ment entered into between the officials
of Oconee and Habersham county, Geor-
gia. 1t is an iron structure that will be
permanent.
In the matter of school funds also Oco-
nee has been fortunate. The expendi-
tuieo ioI puoiic SCuoois III iVof amouuIcu
to 27,09l.12, against S23, ,231.S6 for 1908,
an increase of $3.50. 26 last year over the
year preceding. The schools of the
county have been in splendid condition,
the enrolment good, and the standard of
the public school teacher has been raised.
Altogether we feel that Oconee is to be
congratulated on her educationa' work
for the past year.
There is at present in the county trea-
sury Sl4, ,230.03 to the credit of the
schools. This comes from the following
