REPORTS OF COUNTY FINANCES NEEDED.

A space about inches deep single
column is devoted in neighboring
county seat to publishing County
Finances. /" Such list is not ltemized
in detail, merely showing the dis
bursements by funds or rather by
particular large expense items, such
as Clerk, Sheriff, Assessors and
Supt. offices; Elections, county health
officer, jurors and State Witnesses,
Inquests, court house and Jail, Road
bridges and Ferries by beats and
Supervisors per diem etc. AS we
have said before about the Town fl
nancial statements, we now repeat
about county finances. Any kind OF
a statement, no matter how brief the
summary is better than none at all,
and certainly some kind should be
published every year. Unlike the
above we think it ought also to show
the sources from which such funds
are derived as well as the persons or
things upon which it was spent, and
the balances left on hand if any, If
not overdrafts or outstanding inde5t-
edness bonded or otherwise. The
people should be publicly informed OF
how their money is being spent and
what are the needs for much taxa
ton, and in no other way can they
be kept even passably contented with
the administration Of the affairs OF
government. They may
some at fist but with the
concrete figures before them in the
county paper, the logic of public ne
cessities will be bourne in gradually
upon the the most carping critical
mind. OF course itemized publica-
ton is the best plan but something
ess might be presently acceptable.

OF Distilled Spirits 165, 100000 Gallons
Consumed, 100000 More
Than Last Year.

simultaneously with the announce
ment that our total population In the
homeland and its colonies has passed
the 100, 1000, 900 mark, comes another
official announcement which causes
thrill of different character Ac-
cording to the figures of the internal
revenue bureau, the fiscal year lately
ended has been marked by the largest
consumption of liquors ever known in
this country. OF distilled spirits 1885,
00o, 900 gallons have been consumed,
being 100000 more than last year.
During the same time, 59.485,117 bar
rels of fermented liquor have been
consumed; being an increase OF 3.000,-
600 barrels For many years we have
been gathering to ourselves vast
foreign population. For the last half
decade, our annual immigration has
averaged three-quarters of a million
at the port of New York alone. This
big army of newcomers has brought
with 1t the drinking customs Of the
old world, and it will not be until the
second generation that they can be
hopefully converted to the modern
scientific temperance view Another
cause Of the increase is that our gov
eminent still allews liquor to be car
ried into and through dry" states,
regardless Of the will of the people.
thus spreading the evil of intemper-
ance
These figures, startling though they
are, need give no cause for discour-
agement. The increase, as we have
shown, Is more apparent than real.
The fact remains, and should not be
forgotten, that nearly 10000. 900 of our
population are living under temper.
ance laws of their own voluntary en-
actment-a larger number than ever
before. Thus, though the evil itself
grows, the remedy grows at still
more rapid rate. Scientific education
in our schools concerning the nature
and effects Of alcohol must be pushed
vigorously in all the states. Our
churches and temperance organiza-
lions get together and work harmon
iously for this common end.

The death angel visited the home

and loved ones.
We shall meet beyond the river,
Where the surges cease to roll
Where in all the bright forever
Sorrow ne'er prees the soul.
Shall we meet beyond the river,
When our stormy voyage is DER.
Shall we meet our little Marvin,
On the bright celestial shores.
From our ranks we miss little Marvin
AS the sunset hours draw nigh,
But the reaper claimed him
And we dare not question why.
Aud we would not though we mourn,
Call him from that radiant shore,
Hoping up in Heaven to meet him,
When the parting scenes are FER.

LITTLE HESSIE BRADLEY.

The death angel visited the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. Al. Bradley on
Tuesday night Feb. 18, 1913, at
Ii O'Clock and claimed for its victim
their precious little darling daughter
Hessie, she being only two years and
six months old.
1t was so hard to part with this
precious little Jewel, but we must
remember that the Lord doeth all
things well. for He said suffer little
children to come unto rae, and we
know that this little darling is sleep
| ing in the arms of Jesus to await us
till the resurrection morn. Little
Hessie suffered only few days, but
her sufferings here were very great.
The remains were laid to rest IN the
Mutual Rights cemetery Feb. 20,
! 1913 at twelve o'clock. (Here we
wish to extract two salient points
from another obituary prepared by a
loving hand which we regret havn't
space to run IN full, viz: Little
Hessie had been an INVALID all of her
life; could crawl but could not walk.
She was only sick five days with
Scarlet fever and Dyptheria. This

ANOTHER BOND ISSUANCE PROBABLE.

The board OF supervisors will meet
next Monday in regular term for the
month of March. We understand
the $25, 900 realized from the sale oil
bonds for road Improvement has
about been exhausted and assume
they will figure upon another issu-
ance as it is hardly to be presumed
that they calculated at hrst that no
more money than that would answer
the demands for throwing up high
ways in Greene to the extent con.
templated. The Herald favors the
issuance of sufficient bonds to carry
forward the road work, but as we
have insisted all along. we believe
some public financial showing other
than the bullded roads themselves
should be made of the way in which
the peoples money is being spent in
this good roads campaign.

CURIOUS BITS
OF HISTORY
WHAT AMERICA MISSED.


Il was not publicly known I'LL
almost . century after the close
Of the Revolutionary war that
the Americans missed q grand
opportunity to conquer England
In short der and avoid long
drawn-out war for independence.
In 1875 Gen. John KaIb came
over with an offer from French
count named BrogIle 20 become
the William of Orange of Amer
lea and lead the patriots to
speedy vistory. The count REQ
ommende himself most highly,
and all he asked In return was,
that he should be granted a
large sum for expenses before
embarkation, paid a liberal sal
AIRY, given absolute command OF
the army, and granted q prince
ly annuity for life after the war
was over. Very soon after ar
rlvlng In America Gen. KaIb saw
how utterly impractlcable and
foolish the counts project was,
and he had the good sense to
say nothing about It. The
counts letter of instructions was
found among kaIb's papers long
after his death.

Jasper Garfield from the Williams
settlement in the Upper East Side
was in Leakesville Saturday making
proof of his homestead claim sup
ported by J. G. and Lee Williams as
witnesses. J. G. left a picture Of
that mammoth hog about which we
wrote on his last visit. The picture
doesn 't-exactly do the huge porker
justice so John says, as all those who
saw HIM when killed and who were
experienced in such matters said
that the hog must have weighed
about 500 pounds and over. They
had no scales weighing high enough
to ascertain just what his actual
weight was. However. they got ITO
pounds of of lard out of him SO that
shows something of his great size.
For all of this Old Mig is behind us
as voucher and the picture is to be
seen in the Herald Office.
