 Term, 1919:
 We, your Commissioners of Ac- counts, would most respectfully submit this our report of the aud iting of the books and accounts of the offices and officials of Lee county. as required by the statute. We find that the Magistrates and Constables have filed quarterly re- ports with the County Court as re- auired. and made due report of business transacted in their courts. We find that the constables have made proper accounting of fines and penalties entrusted to their keeping.

An examination of the settlement of the collector of taxes for the year 1918, shows a very satisfactory one indeed. The total amount of taxes with which the collector was charged was $235,- 21S.23. We found of that amount he had collected the sum of $1S5,- 004.22, from the white taxpayers, and the sum of $40, 0,580.00 from the colored taxpayers, totaling $225, ,584.22. Since making his set clement he has collected $374.00, as shown by delinquent tax list, filed for this term of the county court.
 A report from the County Judge, which he handed us, and which we herewith append, of the affairs of the county farm, for the past six months, shows that the receipts from the products of the farm amounted to $1,042.25, and from
