DUTIES
Of County Auditors Under
The WarneS Law
Explained In A Letter Sent
To Each County
Officials To Become Familiar
With Their Duties
"A Divorce Granted In The
Court Of Common Pleas
Other Items OF Interest From
Temple Of Justice

Letters have been mailed to the
board of county commissioners of ev-
cry county in the state by the state
tax commission, calling attention to
the future duties that will fall to the
lot Of the county auditor and his aides
when the Warnes law becomes effec-
tive.
Their attention is called to the mat
ter at this time when they are pre-
pairing the budget for next year, and
determining the amount of money that
will be expended for clerk hire in the
various county offices.
Under the provision of the Warnes
taxing laws all work connected with
the listing and assessing of property
for taxation and the making up of the
tax duplicate of the county will be
transferred from the auditors office to
the Office of the district assessor. The
county auditor will be required to pre-
pare and furnish to the district asses
sor on the first Monday in February,
1914, complete list of all of the real
estate in the county, giving the name
of the owner, the description of the
property number of acres or dimen-
sions of lot, and valuation, stating the
value of the land separately from the
improvements thereupon. When this
list has been delivered to the district
assessor in February the county audit
or will have no further duty to perform
concerning the list of property, and
the tax duplicate will be delivered to
him by the district assessor complete,
except for the extension of the amount
of taxes computed by the rate.
1t is evident that this provision of
the law will eliminate from the audi
tors office a considerable volume of
the clerical work, as we'll as much 9th
er work in connection with the super
vision of the assessment of personal
property annually by the former
personal property assessor, and the
quadrennial appraisement of real es-
tate by the quadrennial appraisers.

And The Grand Jury viii In
VeStigatG The Case
Warrant For Mans Arrest
Sworn Out By c. G. Weaver

Virgil Alexander, young man en-
ployed at the T. A. Davidson livery
barn on South Mechanic street, is in
Jail charged with forgery by c. G.
Weaver, proprietor of Main street
shoe store. Alexander cashed check
at the store last Saturday evening and
it was returned early in the week by
the Knox County Savings Bank as
worthless.
The bad check was written for $40
and was signed ELLIS, Veatch." Alex
ander went into the shoe store on Sat
urday evening and purchased SO pair
of shoes. He presented the check for
$40 and, being busy at the time, Mr..
Weaver did not make the young man
identify himself nor did he investigate
the check very closely. According to
Alexander's story, he left Saturday
evening for Cleveland and stayed there
only for short time. While being
questioned by the police just previous
to his arrest, Alexander stated that he
had bought the shoes in Cleveland. He
said that he secured four dollars for
his work at the Davidson barn and
that he had saved up the remaining
amount of money necessary to take
him to Cleveland.
After the check had been cashed,
Mr.. Weaver began to grow suspicious,
but-decided not to investigate it until
after the bank determined whether or
not it was valid. He deposited it at
the First National Bank Monday and,
as it was issued on the Knox County
Savings Bank, it was returned by that
bank. The matter was reported to
the police.
On Tuesday afternoon Mr.. Weaver
was standing at the front of his store
and saw Alexander pass by wearing

walking along the street. Later he
was singer at some of the moving

The police have excellent reasons to
believe that the check in question and
the one that was cashed by Mr.. r. w.
Pitkin at his grocery store six weeks
ago were forged by the same hand.
Both we're bad.
The check cashed six weeks ago was
signed by Ellis Veatch and was for

Savings Bank and was made out to
George Lewis. The writing on the two
checks is alike.

OF Lee County Citizens
Are loyal Supporters Of County and It's
Paper.

Messrs. Robert s. and Guy Pry'
or, two of Lee county's most rep
resentative and progressive citizens,
have been visitors in LeeSburg this
week, with reports of good times
and excellent crops in that section
Of the county where they reside.
Both of these loyal Lee Coun-
tians are progressive farmers and
boosters. They believe in the fu-
ture Of Lee county, and they are
always to be found among the large
army of boosters of this county and
section. Among other things that
nave gained their attention is pecan
culture.
Two Of the prettiest pecan groves
in the county are owned by them,
both being on separate farms. Mr..
Robert Pryor's grove is one Of the
oldest and most fruitful in the
county, as we'll as one of the largest.
Mr.. Guy Pryor's pecan grove is
younger than the other, but it is
a Furnishing and valuable one.
Both Of these loyal citizens Of
Lee county are staunch supporters
Of The Journal. They are aiding

citizens of the county, to bring Lee

Romance Is the greatlst thing in the
world; but for all that, a man must
eat and a man must sleep.
The cold dew of dawn was the tonic
that recalled him from the land of
grotesque dreams. He sat up and
rubbed his face bris'Ily with his hands,
drying 1t upon the sleeve of mis- coat,
as nasty and as sa aiisfying q toilet as
he had ever made. There was no ac-
tlvity in camp; evidently they were
not going to start early. The cook
alone was busy. The fire was crack
ling, the kettle was steaming, and
pot of pleasantsmelling coffee
leaned rakishly against the hot
ashes. The flap to Fortunes tent was
still closed And there was Ryanne,
sitting with his Knees drawn up under
his chin, his hands clasped about his
sh1ns, and glowering at no visible
thing.
-"Hello!" cried George Found
yourself, ,eh?"
Ryanne eyed him without emotion.
When and how did they get you ?"
George inquired.
About three hours before they got

| Dope. I'd have cleaned them up but

How do you feel?"
Damned bad, Percival."
ANY bones broken?"
NO; I'm just knocked about; sore
spot in my sides kicked, maybe. But

George didn't ask what that" was,
| Where co you think he's taking us?

to travel continuously from twenty
five to eighty miles the day! Others
were busy with the pack-baskets. A
tent, presumably Mahomed's, was be-
ing erected upon a clayey piece Of
ground in between the palms. No one
entered the huts, even out of curios-
ity; so George was certain that the
desertion had been brought about by
one plague or another. A smaller

little privacy for the poor girl. Great
God, how helpless he was, how help
less they all were!
An incessant clatter, occasionally
interspersed with laugh, went on
The Arab, unlike the East Indian, is
not ordinarily surly; and these
seemed to be good-natured enough
They eyed George without malice.
The war of the night before had been
all in a days work, for which they
had been literally paid. While he had
spent much time in the Orient and
had ridden camels, a real caravan,
prepared for weeks of travel, was a
distinct novelty, and so he viewed all
with interest, knowing perfectly well
that within few days he would look
upon these activities with dull, hope
less anger. He went back to the
girl and sat down beside her.
"Have you any idea why you are
here?"
"No; unless he saw me in the ba-
zaars with Horace, and thought to
torture him by bringing me along"

With a consideration that spoke
we'll Of his understanding, he did not
speak to her again till food was
passed. Later, when the full terror
Of the affair took hold Of her, she
would be dreadfully lonely and would
need to see him near, to hear his
voice. He forced some Of the hot
soup down Ryanne's throat, and was
glad to note that he responded a little.
After that he limped about the strange
camp, but was careful to get in no
ones way. Slyly he took note Of this
face and that, and his satisfaction
grew as he counted the aftermath of
the war And 1t had taken five of
them, and even then the result had
been in doubt up to the moment when
his head had gone bang against the
stucco. He took melancholy pride
in his swollen ear and half-shut eye.
He had always been doubtful regard
