Red Ru II RPoof Oats.

We had the nerve to ship in car
of Improved Tennessee Red Rust
Proof Oats. We find the only
place to get the best seed oats this
year is from Tennessee and we have
secured car of the best oats we
can obtain in Tennessee for seeding
purposes. From the best informa-
ton obtainable, practically all in
Kansas was so badly damaged and
so light that most of them were un-
fit for seeding purposes.
These oats, of best quality, every
year, between the first of December
and the following March bring the
farmers premium of one to fifteen
cents per bu. for seed over the price
of oats for feed. To raise the best
oats for seed, the seed used should
be as pure as possible.
The price may seem little high,
but is made so by reason of heavy
freight rate for long haul from Ten
nessee. A great many substitutes
and mixtures are offered by some un-
scrupulous dealers at a little less
than the price of the genuine and
the best.
1t is a we'll established fact that
"The best is the cheapest" in buy
ing seeds of all kinds. There is
every indication of Meade county
having good crop. Call and see
US.
We also have a stock of millet,
cane and alfalfa seed for sale.

"They Shall See Cod"

A mighty twofold fact runs to and fro
through all the earth and under the. eartn
and oTer it high and far Many do not
see it or hear it and therefore do not feel
it. but nevertheless there is no otner
thought so real, so vital and overwhelming
known to science or history or revelation.
This mighty fact is the immanence and the
providence OF Almighty God, in all things,
through all things and for all things. lie
has created man and put Himself under
universal and ceaseless obligations and re-
sponsibilities to His creatures.
To know this is an indescribable privil-
eye. but to ignore it or treat it as myt'

COUNTY FINANCES
Defects in Their Management Pointed
Out by Comptroller General


Columbia, s. C.-"The need Of an s1-
aminer. for the books Of the various
counties is clearly set forth in the re-
port Of the Comptroller General, which
was published in the Greenville case"
said member Of the House. An ex-
animation OF the reports made by that
Office showed that the statement was
correct.
The report made by the Comptrolled
General shows that at least seven
counties are very much out Of balance,
and that with the small appropriation
of $500 on hand the Comptroller can
not begin to check up the books Of the
Al counties in the State. The total
shortage will amount to about $43.-
900. and while there is no intention OF
reflection on the county officers. 1t
seems from this report that there Is
need for a yearly examination OF every
Office in the State. The last annual re-
port OF the Comptroller General made
the following recommendation:
THE investigations made thus far re-
veal the grossest carlessness in the
management of the peoples money
While no actual dishonesty has been
brought to light. a general looseness OF
methods obtains which amounts prac-
tically to the same thing. SO far as
the taxpayers interests are concerned.
1T becomes absolutely necessary to
prescribe uniform system Of keeping
accounts for county treasurers. county
supervision and county superintend-
ents of education. together with sYs-
tenn of reports whereby the misappro-
priation of the public funds will b
hard to accomplish.
Experience of many years demon
strates that it is impracticable for the
Comptroller General. who is charged
with the supervision Of the assessing
and collecting Of the States revenue,
to leave his Office and visit the coun-
les in person and examine into the
details OF the work Of the county OFF,
cials. who are charged with the re-
ceipts and disbursements Of public
funds. When an error is discovered in
the annual settlement, it often be-
comes necessary to check up the ac-
counts for several years back; this re-
1uires a great deal OF time which can
not be given by the Comptroller Cen
eral. nor can he spare one Of his clerks
for this purpose.
"To introduce a uniform system OF
bookkeeping would require an ppro-
priation sufficient for the books and
blanks necessary to be used by the
county officials collecting and dfsburs-
ing the public revenue. The Comp
troller General should be allowed to ap-
point an expert accountant. To pay
the expenses Of an accountant. to visit
the counties at all seasons Of the year,
would be trifling compared with the
value OF his services to the State; the
correction of the present loose methods
would alone save thousands Of dollars
to the State and counties every year.
II the fiscal affairs of the State are to
be conducted on business basis, bust-
ness methods must be adopted. These
matters I call to your earnest atten-
tion and considerations: it now rests
with your honorable body to take such
steps as in your wisdom you may deem
necessary"
