LEXINGTON COMMITTEE FIRM.
Refuses to Accede to Gen. Jones' s
Wishes that Primary for School
Superintendent be Ordered.

Lexington. October lO.---By vote
Of II t" 9 the Lexington county De-
mocratir executive committee today
again named \. ID. Martin as the nom
lncc for county superintendent Of
education for this county in direct op-
position to the request Of State Chair
man Willie Junc$, who stated that
Martin was not. the nominee accord
in- 10 the rules of the Democratic
party. and that an election would
have 10 be ordered. During the heat
rd remarks Gen. Jones came in for
his share Of criticism.
1t wa~ stated by +. Ilamp Hendrix,
Of lcc>villr. that Gen. Jones told him
while in his Office in Columbia Il few
days aftri the action of Che commit
tee The first time that the committee
has done the wise thing in naming
Mr.. Martin. and that all that was
necessary was t." get that little frl-
low Bayly. down at BatrShurm. to
shut his mouth, and Il few others
around Lexington. and evrrvthin"
would work out I'LL riwht. This WAS
in direct opposition [" what Gen.
Jones has written County Chairman
f.firl and MIR. Efird had the letters
rcad. y motion WAS made to let all
candidates =" int" the general rlcr-
tlnn. but the motion was tabled, the
committee standing by lis first ac-
ton by Il vote of II to g.
This leaves the situation exactly as
it waS before, and it is the opinion
OF some that any candidate can enter
t h" race now that wants to, and the
one that receives the largest number
nf votes will be the nominee. while
hose who favor the committees : ac-
ti"n are of the opinion that il any
man enters the race against Martin
he will be Il "bnltrr' from the
Democratic party.
1t could not be learned today
whether Martin will have opposition
"r not. A. i matter of fact it was
not Martin that waS being upnrscd.
but ii was "lakin" the matter out Of
II" hands of the people, that caused
the disturbance. This puts the mat
ter up t" Grn. Jones and his action
in the premises will be- awaited with
| interest

What Gen. Jones Says.

State Chairman Willie Jones vcStrr-
day received word from ,hc Lrxing-
ton county executive committee that
by vote of II to @ Il primary for NOM
nation OF county superintendent of
r'lurn,i"n had been refused. This
nominating \. -. Martin for the place
/" succeed the late Mr.. Farr. Chair
man Willie Jones stated Yesterday. nf-
ter receiving the news. that he would
not, unless ordered by the courts,
plac" name Of =. Martin ON the De-
m"rratir election ticket. lie cnnSid-
cred the action Of the committee in
nominating Mr.. Martin for the place
without submitting it to primary
absolutely in violation Of the rules of
the party and he would leave thc
nlare blank and the voters of Irx-
ln"t"n could east their ballots ac-
rordingly
''lt would not be a violation Of 'tlc
rules Of the party nor Of the plcdg6Y
W. '''' W. viz, ItlIlil kPt I Ialr-
man Zones yesterday. "Thc commit
tee has not followed ;thc rules reuur-
ing primary, and although 7 have
ordered them to do so they have AT
another meeting refused to rrScind
their action. will simply have fine
place left blank on the county tick
cts. The people may then vote for
Mr. Martin if they so desire. II j.
~" personal matter with me. I have
no interest in the election Of any one,
but simply want TO carry out the
rules Of the Democratic party rs laid
down by the party and to dcviatc
from them in single ease would br
II bad precedent. The authorities I
h"vc consulted assure me that | am
RIGHT. and | am willing to lct my re-
cord stand as il is.
Gen. Jones has received a number
of letters and communications up-
hnlding him for his stand taken in
the matter.

Arlington Monument.

Thirty-cight years ago today Gen.
Robert f. Lee ''paSscd over the riv-
or. As yet. no monument has been
erected as memorial to the valor Of
the Southern soldiers buried there 1T
the home OF their great chicftain.
These graves have been marked, how
ever. with small marble slabs with
name. co., and rrgt. of each pnl
there by the men who once oppn>,,l
them IN their struggle for right. The
Daughters are raising funds for the
erection Of this monument. They do
not wish to be selfish in restricting
htc privilege Of giving to this noble
cause to the Daughters alone. but will
be pleased t" accept any contributions
which the citizens at large wish 10
donate. Shall we Of the Southland
be less patriotic than those of the
North who have already erected
grand monuments to their dead, up
on the soil that was once the home
OF the beloved Lee? Let the answer
be monument, at no distant day up
on the mound that has stood faiiiny
so long at Arlington.
The books will be opened far cash
contributions on Oct. 18Th, 1908. ANY
free will offering will be gladly re-
rcivcd by
Mrs. J. A. Burton.

COUNTY FINANCES.
Settlement of Comptroller General
With Auditor and Treasurer
How Finances Stand.

Comptroller General A. w. Jones
was III tllc city last week for the pur-
pose Of making settlement between
the county auditor and the county
treasurer and the State.
It took only Il very short time for
him to make this settlement in view
of the fact that our county officials
had their books and accounts in such
excellent shape it was very easy
matter. The last settlement was
made on the 30th Of June, 1907, and
this settlement includes the transac-
tions from that date up to the 30th of
, September of this year.
Mr.. Jones. who is one of the most
efficient officials in The State and
knows more about the tax laws of
/ the State than any other person, was
Rvery complimentary to our officers on
y he manner in which their books and
arc kept. He remarked that
."rall the auditors and trcasurcrs of
the State kept their books in such
condition the matter Of making an
nual settlement would be very easy
and could be done in very little time.
In this connection we publish the
settlement sheets showing receipts
and disbursements between the times
mentioned on account Of the various
items for which taxes are levied and
the tax money paid. A separate set
tlement sheet is made up Of the Sta
te's proportion Of the taxes and a sep
arate sheet for the county expenses
and another for the school fund. 1t
will be seen from these settlement
sheets which are published that
the ordinary county fund is in
very bad condition and that the
school fund has considerable money
on hand.
