purchased that splendid twenty acre
tract Of land with buildings situated
on upper Main street. 1t has been
the property of George Stapleton for
many years. Mr.. Jordon refused to

Washington, June 27.-American rail- road equipment is making it's way in the Orient on its own merits. Accord ing to reports from Japan, I loco motives have been ordered from Amer ican makers for service in Manchura and Corea. The significance of the or der is that. it follows the original or der for rolling stock for Manchurian railways given several years ago, in dicating the american locomotives have been found satisfactory in competition with other types. As the order comes through the Japanese government, it is also regarded as a manifestation of a friendly disposition toward America.

Tax Books

"All the tax books were lost in the fire and the assessor is now engaged in mal- ing new dgests. I have examined the abstracts and receipts of former Collec- tor Caine and of present Collector Bobo and find them to be correct
 "The register in chancery lost all the books and papers of record in his office.
 Former Superintendent of Education J. W. Barnard and present Superinteu- dent J. Alex Smith lost most ef their books, records and vouchers, but from their personal memoranda and bank books and the report sent me by the auditor, together with receipts given by them to the tax collector, I was enabled to find that these two have rendered proper reports The pay rolls and con tracts, which are the most important evil dence. were burned, likewise the minute books of the board of education.
 "In Investigating the books, accounts and vouchers of the officials of this coun- ty I find that all errors or omissions are purely clerical. or made under a misin- depreciation of the laws governing dis bursement of public funds, and that the most serious inaccuracies seem to have occurred from a prevalent idea that au- thorty rests with the officials to expend money for purposes not stipulated and expressed by statute. find no indiea ton of any effort to cover up, to misleao or falsify the record.'

Clerk of Circuit Court


 ''rrial dockets of this office prior to 1910 were destroyed by fire. I have examined all available dockets and papers of the office, comparing fee book, subpoena dockets and solicitors fee book. The proper charges of fees are of record and the books correctly kept.
 All solicitors fees have been reported, except in the case of Jesse Hyche, No 7S, fall term, 1909, $15 which said amount is due by the clerk. and with which I charge him. In case No. 37. Mart Gladden., fall term. 1907, solicitors fee S.50, which stands charged to D. c. Mcconnell. circuit clerk, as unreported, it appears that this fee was reported and receipted for by tine state treasurer October 3. 1907.
 The fee book in the clerks office shows that the sheriff has been unlawfully all lowed $2 for arrests in each case tried in county court, whereas the law allows him only $1 in such cases. l therefore charge the sherffs with such oyercharge.

 "Ex- Sheriff Oswalt and Sheriff Enis both lost valuable papers by the fire, among them all the mttimus dates by the authority of which many cases were eom- mitted to jail Therefore 1t is impossible here to compare jail record with miti- muses The dockets not destroyed agree with jail dockets as to dates of commit ment

County Treasurer

"For the term covered by this exam nation prior to 1909, w. F. Smith held the office of county treasurer, succeeding The said Smith in January, 1909, J. w. R.. Jones became treasurer and still holds the office.
 'frhe present treasurer's books are not kept in compliance with the law, as fixed by form in section 21S of the code. In many cases the date of payment and numbers on warrants are omitted. SeV- eral items have been paid out of the gen. eral fund other than witness certificates without warrants being issued by the pro- bate judge; many warrants paid and not cancelled witness certificates paid With no inducements of beneficiarieS In eVf- dence of such payment and no eaneella- ton. The treasurer reports the loss by fire of many warrants. If these were lost In removing from the building with out destruction by fire they present the dangerous feature of being payable to bearer and negotiable. While the treas urers books may offset further responsi- lilitv on part of the county, innocent parties may become purchaser of thess lost warrants and thus suffer financial loss.
 q note the following illegal and err roneous credits entered on the books or the treasurer, and for which he has no proper vouchers.
 Tn September, 1910, no day of date, entered credit on his book his own check payable to D. O. Mcconnell on account of cases withdrawn. This check is not even indorsed by said Mcconnell, and amounts to $1S0. March, 1909, J. w. R Jones paid to himself without warrant out of the general fund, on account his services, s100. January, 1910, same pro cess. $50 January, 1910. same process, SIP. September, 19l0 same process, Ao. January, 19l1 same process, $500. Total, s1672.
 'I therefore. charge said J. w. R. Jones, treasurer, with the sum of these amounts, with interest from date of such payment to such time as he may be able to pro- cure proper vochers for same.
 Tn September. 1907. w. F. Smith, then treasurer, paid warrants, issued without authority of law. and for which he is ac- countabe, same being for postage stamps for officials. Total, $43. .03. On accounts of like character J. w. R. Jones is charged with $55.40.
 "J. W. R. Jones, treasurer, paid the

 "On same account and under like con ditions. J. w. R. Jones, county treasurer, Is chargable with warrants paid by him that were drawn without authority of law, for time and services rendered by the payees for looking after bridges. Total, $l99
 "My attention has been called to an act of the legislature, approved August 25, 1909, to amend section 3322 of the code to offset requirement for refund of above amounts for services rendered after date of approval of this act, but the act fur ther provides that no allowance shall be made to any commissioner for per diem or mileage for inspecting roads, bridges, etc, except when acting under authority of an order of the commissioners court previously made A diligent search of the minutes of the court by this exam iner fails to disclose any such orders. resolutions or requirements. I, therefore, charge back all moneys taken out Of the treasury for such purpose during the period covered by this examination, to- wit: By ExTreasurer w. F. Smith, S15S. .35; by Ex-Treasurer J. w. R. Jones, S199: total, SS57 B.
 IVY. NJ. Wright, who received s63 while acting commissioner for services above stated, exhibits the receipt of the county treasurer for refund by him of amount thus charged.
 'This board has issued warrants with out authority of law to the sheriffs for attendance upon the sessions of the eoun- ty court and the treasurer has paid said warrants. Total, Sl72. or these amounts I charge w. F. Smith, eX-treasurer, $o6, J. w. R. Jones. treasurer, $1l6.
 An act approved F February T, 1901. al- lows the sheriff of Fayette county s2 per day for attendance upon the comfflfssion- CTS court, but is silent as to his services with the county court.
 ''It has been the custom in this county for the county commissioners to allow S3 per diem for the tax assessor for attend ance upon the court of county commits sioners while engaged in examining hear ing and correcting assessments. Section 215O of the code requiring such attend ance fails to provide compensation for this particular service The records show that the warrants were issued without lawful authority in favor of G. w. Cog gin, tax assessor for such service, and that said warrants were paid by the treasurer. Total $S0.
