 In view of the fact, therefore, that the time is near at hand for the tllin2 of another annual report on the part u' our said county officers, it seems that it is high time for Judge Glac" to pass upon the matters at issue and officially decide what are legitimate items and what are not legitimate

It is but just to thc taxpayers as well as to the ofli- ccrs, that these matters be adiudlcat- ed and Judge Grace should file his official decision relative to same be fore the time comes for filing of the next reports of the county officers.

 Judge Grace now has lyine before him the last annual statements of the various county officers which have been before him for nearly one year. Up to the present time there has been no action by Judge Grace on these of ficial statementS.
 1t will be remembera that during the last Democratic primary contests that these statements played q con spicuous part There wore oaen charges made or inc2rrecness, and also of illegal charges aeainst the county that should have been paid cut of the private pocket of thc off Ger making the report During that contest County Clerk Jesse K Core openly charged that Sheriff C.

Philpot had filed items or expense against the county tor horses, hloed- hounds legal adyfces and other things that should have been n9ids9c- .cording to Mr. Core, oUt of the Sher- in's private income. Il will also he remembered that Sheriff Philpot re- torted in public article over his own eignature, that the last statement filed bv County Clerk Gore With fhe cir cult court was q "makeshitt" and con tained statements that were incor- rect. and inimated that said state ment had been padled for the purpose of showing that the income of the oI- flee did not exceed the constitutional limit
 It will be further remembered that Mr. Core charged that the SheI( 's office and the Collectors office was enc and the same office and that the incumbent was nos entitled to receive fer the said office of Sheriff and Col lector oyer S50oa the con stitutio0ai limit. and quoted Il leading local law firm as authority for his contention.
