0C0nee' ST financial Condition
70 the People Of Oconee County:

TO the PeoDle OF Oconee County:
Following is a statement OF the
financial condition OF Oconce county,
to wit:
The annual settlement of my offce
was made by the Comptroller Gene
raj, Carlton w. Sawyer, July 27th,
1916, and he said that my records
were well kept and that the county
was in good financial condition. That
all claims against the county as
audited have been paid, and on the
date Of that settlement, l had to my
credit, as Supervisor, little over
SEVENTEEN THOUSAND DOL
LARS IN CASH to run the county
until taxes come due this fall.
There is no Indebtedness that has
been created against the county
which is not paid since took charge
on January 1st, 1913. 1t IS true
that this county owes bonded in
debtedness of $4,000, but that was
placed on this county in the year
1904, to the amount Of $4,000. 7
paid off 5 1000 Of this in 1914. The
balance falls due in two equal in
stallments Of $4,000 each, one-half
on July l, 1924, and the other on
July 1, 1884.
In each and every year, Oconee
county, as well as all other counties
OF the State, and also the State it.
self, have to borrow money in the
spring to run them until the taxes
are paid. This has always been done
IN this county. and will continue to
be done that way, because the roun-
W Is not on cash basis. The last
Legislature authorized the Treasu-
rer and myself to borrow $4,000
TO run on this year. We obtain ed
this money from the Bank Of Wal
malta at per cent interest-the
lowest rate the county has ever had
to pay. Last year the county bor-
rowed $4,000 at per cent, and It
was paid Off when the note fell due
IN January. The amount so b0rro W.
ed this year will be paid off next
January. The taxes for 1916 will
yield over $4,000. So this loan
cannot really be called debt
against the county, because that is
just the way the county does busi-
ness.
THERE HAS BEEN NO REAL
INDEBTEDNESS created against the
county since / took charge Of this
ofnce. Last year spent about ten
thousand dollars more than the pre-
vious year, but that was on account
Of 160 bridges being washed away
by the freshet. l paid this big loss
without putting the county in debt
one cent above the levy and income.
have never spent more money in
any year than the levy and amount
Of taxes for ordinary purposes. The
countys financial condition to-day Is
the best 1t has ever been.

and the last glow of it in the evening.
Graw Wolf had first led Kazan to the Sc
curity Of the retreat at the top of the
rock.
When he reached the bottom he no
loage- hesitated. but darted swiftly in the
direction of the cabin. Because of that
instinct Of the wild that was still in him,
ne approached the cabin with caution.
He never gave warning, and for mo-

CHAPTER TX.
THE TRAGEDY ON SUN ROCK

THE TRAGEDY ON SUN ROCK.
ALL that day Kazan guarded the top OF
n the Sun Rock Fate. and the fear
and brutality of masters, had heretofore
kept him from fatherhood, and he was
puzzled Something told him now that he
belonged to tie sun Rock, and not to the
cabin. The call that came to him from
over the plain was not so strong. At
dusk Gray Wolf came out fr, III her rl-
treat, and skunk to his side, whimpering,
and nipped gently at his shaggy neck. 1t
was the old instinct of his fathers that
made him respond by caresslnE Gray
VOLTS face with his tongue. Then Gray
VOLTS Jaws opened and she laughed In
short painting breaths, as II she had been
hard run. She was happy, and as they
heard n little snuffiing sound from be-
tween the rocks, Kazan wagged his tail,
and Gray Wolf darted back to her young.
The babyish cry and its effect upon Gray
Wolf taught Kazan his first lesson in
fatherhood. Instinct again told him that
Gray Wolf could not go down to the hunt
with him now-that she must stay at the
top of the Sun Rock. So when the moon
rose he went down alone, and toward dawn
returned with l. big white rabbit between
his jaws. 1t was the wild in him that
made him do this and Gray Wolf ate
ravenously. Then he knew that each
night hereafter he must hut for Gray
hidden between the two rocks.
The next day, and still the next. he did
not go to the cabin, though he heard tho
voices of botl the man and the woman
calling him. On the fifth he went down,
and Joan and the baby were so glad that
the woman hugged him, and the baby
kicked and laughed and screamed at him,
This time Kazan felt and scented more
of that mysterious change In the cabin.
Joan and her husband talked incessantly
of their plans when they were together;
and when the man was away Joan talked
to the baby and to him. And each time
that he came down to the cabin during
the week that followed he grew more
and more restless, until at last the man
noticed the change in him.
II believe he knows" he said to Joan
one evening. ~ believe he knows we're
preparing to leave" Then he added:
THE river was rising again today. 1t
will be another week before we can start,
perhaps longer"
That same night the moon flooded the
top of the Sun Rock with n golden light,
and out into the glow of 1t came Gray
Wolf. with her three little whelps tod

WITH SMITH AS MAYOR

To the Editor of Evening Ledger:
Sir-EYer since Mayor Smith announced
himself as a candidate for the office he
now fills. the papers have been trying TO
pick out some flaw or weak point iIl his
personal makeup; and while his utter
ances from his prediction speeches
down to his inaugural address have COM
PEELED the editorial writers TO give him
credit for the many good things he has
promised the people durin- his admins
tration. yet / notice that every one Of
these writings have questionable mark
running through them.
They all seem TO think that he will fall
down on the many fine things promised
and they Will fail to materialize, as was
the case with his predecessor.
We are all very much alike, strong or
weak according TO the assistance given
US. How many OF us would make good
II all our friends would question our
every move. say all our good ideas and
acts were influenced by others, that all
the bad or unsuccessful were our own?
We don't expect Mayor Smith TO make
no mistakes, because he Is human; and
We want him 10 remain that way because
We are built on the same lines ourselves.
But, Ia order that those mistakes will
be as few as possible. let Us all give him
our unqualified support, and We Ril hnd
that the greatest disappointed people viii
be those who predicted bis failure.
