MIR. G.. ID. BARKSDALE,

There arc some public officers that
the people usually take very little into
account; there are some parts in the
political machinery of our government
that are little thought of, but of vast
mportance-such an one is the chair
man of the county board of canvassers
or election commissioners as gener-
ally known.
But a moments reflection will con-
vince one that the duties of this Office
are indeed taxing, while they continue
and Of vast Importance. The prelim-
inaries OF an election. if legal cleo
ton be desired, are many and tedious

nullify the vote or at least cause con-
fusion. We might repeat that cleo
ton commissioners are very important
officials, and particularly the chair
man. for the major part Of the work
falls on him.
MIR. G. ID. Barksdale was this year
appointed by Governor Ansel as chair
man Of the commission. The elections
have been held, the most important
to this county being on the dispensary

This morning opened as mild as a
day in early spring and the tempera-
lures since that time have been those
of April instead of those of a day in
midwinter. The sun has shone con-
stantly since early morning and there
is hardly a cloud in the sky to mar
the beauty of the day. Yesterday
precipitation amounted to .06 of an
inch and the day was one of the
freaks with which the weather de-
partment has to deal occasionally.
Sunday promises an abundance of
sunlight and an ideal day with the
possibility of a slight drop in the
temperatures when compared with
those of today. The little wind which
is in evidence today is blowing from

the demand for money to move the
crops continues as insistent as ever.
The farmers and millers and grain and
cattle buyers are disturbed over the
situation. The western banks with
their large reserves are holding that
money for their depositors. They are
not letting any of it get away from
them even for crop moving purposes.
They have taken the ground that the
New York banks, which owe the west
ern banks so much money, must sup
ply the funds for moving the crops and
must not expect the western banks to
deplete their reserves for that purpose.
