State Still Busted. /"

A number OF Fulton county oiu-
zens stln hold warrants issued 20
them one year ago In payment for
jury services at the May term OF cir
cult court. 1910. Our circuit clerk. J.
W Morris. trustee OF the jury fund.
has been unable to explain why the
state should not have allowed these
claims. since other warrants OF lat
or date have been paid.
II occurred 10 US. as well as a lot
OF other Taxpayers. that a little light
on this subject from headquarters
would not be out OF place. Accord
ingly We wrote Auditor James about
the matter. Our answer came out Of
the "red-tape" machine. and was one
OF those nice printed forms which the
high salaried clerks send out. and
had no bearing whatever on the sub
ject. We bundled II up. fired II back
and asked for an answer to our let
ter. We got u. Here Is a part Of
the letter from Mr.. James:
Il would state that after the law
authorizing the Treasurer to stamp
warrants interest bearing had been
passed, there were a great many out
standing warrants that were stamp
ed In March. April and May 1919
The law provides that the warrants
shall be redeemed In the order stamp
ed. | think all have been redeemed
up To about April 30 or May l. /
presume your Trustee of the Jury
Fund had his warrant stamped inter
est bearing and II so. be will have
TO wait his turn and receive pay
ment when called In regularly. Now,
you say that claims of later date
have been settled. am satisfied
this Is true. The Treasurer has IN
deayored to pay as many claims az
possible Il Is only when he has $780,
900 In the General Expenditure Fund
that he rs directed TO make call for
redemption OF warrants. Had your
Trustee held the warrant a short
time without being stamped, | feel
sure that your Sheriff could have TAX
en- the warrant In and paid off the
jurors. as has been done In a mum
Der of counties.
"The Legislature OF 1908 made new
appropriations amounting to $685.
900. and the Legislature OF 1910 APP
preparations OF nearly half a million,
all together sl.S0O,OOO, without pro
yiding any means for meeting these
new obligations, and the present ad-
mlnistration has had TO take care OF
these large appropriations upon the
same tax rate that has been collect
ed by the State for a number OF
years"
The first paragraph Is self explana-
tory. But there are taxpayers In this
end of the State that will deny the
second paragraph. Seems that Ful
ton county got raise OF l5 per cent,
and thought she was getting off light
as many Of our neighboring counties
took the taxraising degree TO the
tune OF 25 per cent.

THEIR LAST HANDcLAsP.
Tho Final Meeting of Charles A. Dana
and Jacob Riis.

Inc FINAL meeting or Charles n. Dana
and Jacob Riis.
I like to think Of my last meeting
with Charles A. Dana, the ''old chier,"
as he was always called in the office.
In all the years I was on the Sun I
do not think had spoken with him
a half dozen times. When he wanted
anything Of me personally his orders
were very brief and to the point. It
was generally something's report to
be digested or the story Of some social
experiment-which showed me that In
his heart he was faithful to his early
love. He had been In his youth, as
everybody knows, an enthusiastic re-
former, member OF the Brook Farm
community. But II he thought I saw
he let no Sign escape him. He hated
shams. Perhaps I was on trial all the
time. II so I believe that he meant
to tell me in that last handshake that
he had not found me wanting. 1t was
on the stairs in the Sun office that
we met. was going up; he was COM
ing down-going home to die. He
knew 1t. In me there was no suspicion
Of the truth when I came upon him
at the turn of the stairs, stumbling
along in way very unlike the usual
springy step Of the old chief. I hardly
knew him when he passed. but as he
turned and held out his hand / saw
that it was Mr.. Dana, looking some
how older than ] had ever seen him
and changed. took of my hat, and
we shook hands.
WELL" he said, have you reformed
everything to suit you, Strengthened
out every kink in town.
Pretty nearly" 1 said, falling into
his tone Of banter, call except the Sun
ONCE. That is left yet and as bad as
ever"
liar he laughed. "You come on.
We are ready for you. Come right
alongp' And with another hearty
handshake he was gone. He never
saw the Sun ONCE again.
1t was the only time he had ever
held out his hand to me after that
first meeting of ours when 1 was a
lonely lad, nearly thirty years before.
That time there was dollar in 1t, and
I spurned It. This time I like to be
lieve his heart was in 1t. And took
it gladly and gratefully. Jacob A.
