TO THE PUBLIC

To inform the people that there
is nothing wrong or crooked in
the matter of the revenues of the
county coming from taxes, | de-
sire to state as the Financial ag-
ent of the county, that all re-
ceipts and disbursements as to
taxes are proper and reg ul ar,
and a full and complete record of
all such can be found in my of.
flee and that of the County Trus-
tee. There is no foundation in
fact for any charge of wrong-do-
ing, or that there is any short
age.
Again, in answer to many in
quiries about the filing of certifi-
Gates of candidates for County
Superintendants as required un-
der the law, ] will state that on
ly one such is on file, that of Ter
ry Abernathy. j. P. Harkins
has filed none; told me he had
none. w. G. Robinson was the
only one who took the required
examination for County Superin-
tendent, when it was held in
April last.

NOTICE b!

Whereas there is circular being distributed to the
voters of this county which reflects upon all of its County
Officials Therefore, in justice to myself am compelled
to inform those who might not know just what the office
l hold has to do with the charges made.
First: Your Register does not collect one penny that
the county or any other fund has interest in
Second The only settlement made by the Register is
with the party for whom he does the work. and the State
of Tennessee fixes the charges for his work SO that is
the same violation not to charge the amount fixed by law
as it would be to charge than that fixed by the
State
have served you two terms as Register and have
done my best to be as grateful to the people for the honor
as knew how. have saved you the tax payers) over
$4,000 by installing typewrtng machine at my own ex-
pense, which will record than twice as much to the
book (which is paid for by the county, than the old system
that was used when came into office.
invite you to inspect the records of my office and
you do no find that have made as good or BETTER
record than has been made by any former Register and
at the least expense to McNary county, shall not ask
you to support me.
The records of this office very important to you
and you should look to the man who could render best
service and not his personality or physical condition
My record is here to speak for ITSELF therefore have no
promises to make other than that shall appreciate your
support and WILL if reelected render the same prompt
service as | have in the past
So do not be deceived examine the records for your
SELF it is yeur privilege

Niche Items

The patrons of Niche Consoli-
dated School met the night of the
21st, and by a unanimous vote
decided to have an eight months
high school. What a pity that
parents are not willing to consol-
idate schools over the county and
by so doing give their children a
chance to attend an 8 or 9 months
school each year, instead of
dwarfing their bodies and minds
as they will without education.
People should give more atten-
ton to producing food and feed
stuff, for we have one Of the best
sections for such. If the writer
had depended alone on cotton out
of which to pay for home it
would not have been paid for.
Singing here Sunday was at
tended by many prominent lead
ers and teachers of vocal music.
Among them was Prof. Page, of
Corinth. he being also a publish
er of song books.
A good rain fell Sunday and

| THERE'S an undated circular in
the county signed by J. P Har-
kins. and supposed to have been
written by H. p. Wood, a hired
lawyer, 1t is sought by these
two to alarm the public over the
financial condition of the county
by the false charges found in the
circular.
| | submit some facts from my
records, and these records are
open to inspection. never pay
out dollar except on warrants
duly issued and signed, either by
the Chairman for all funds ex-
cept school and then by the
Chairman of the Board of Edu-
cation and the County Superin-
tendent. A complete record is,
kept of all such warrants show
ing date, to whom issued, the
amount, for what purpose, to
whom paid and when Now all
this adois cheap, dirty politics
Mr.. Harkins nor his paid lawyer
ever came to my office to inspect
these records, but chose to sneak
around like a fellow in the dark
and try to dig up something
somewhere else when my office
was the place to get facts as to
these things. They could have
seen my records at any time de-
sired, and any one can who will
come up like a man and ask to
see them.
My books are a part of the
records of the county, and it has
been my purpose to so keep all
of them that | could look back
with pleasure on them ane my
children point to them with pride,
but these two come along and
play dirty politics and try to
make the people beiieve that |.

Court does that, and makes all

This | have done.

up and see who is trying to de-
ceive them and what it is done

The item is for numersous
small items of necessary expen-
ditures. for the past A years.
Mr.. Harkins' lawyer failed to
explain to him what the item in
report for TRANSPORTATION
means, and he is telling the peo-
pie that this is what | spent in
travelling over the State. Why,
this is for hauling about $50 lit
boys and girls to and from a big
consolidated school at Niche for
5 months, and this too, cheaper
than they could be taught in
their old schools. This is but a
sample of of the way | am being

Renew your subscription.
To the Voters Of McNairy Co nnty:

| take this opportunity of noti-
flying you that a false report has
been circulated over this county
in the form of a circular signed
by one J. P. Harkins, in which
he charges bad conditions in all
the various county funds collect
ed by the various county officials
He charges that the Highway
fund is in bad condition, when
the truth is that this fund is a
state fund and not a cent of it is
kept in the county. | have in
my office receipts from the State
Comptroller for every dollar of
this fund collected by me in my
four years of service. | insist
that ]. P. Harkins call at my Of
flee and see said receipts.
also have receiptsin my Of,
flee for every dollar of the vari-
Gus funds collected by me and
turned over. either to the State
Comptroller or the Trustee of the
county.
As to the funds being short l
have never heard anything about
that until Mr.. Harkins became a
candidate. In his imagination
he could see each county official
getting fat on the county funds
and his ambition to be made just
a little fatter himself began to
grow, and this caused him to
want to find out something, and
the circular you have seen was
the result.
Now / want to say to the vo-
ters of McNairy County that all
my books are open for inspection
by any one. and | have a clean
record. have been checked ev-
cry three months by our Revenue
Committee, the chairman of
which is a prominent democrat,
and not even one cent shortage,
nor one cent mistrke has been
checked against me in my four
years of service. Yet the circu-
lar cries (bugger.) l could say
much more. but ] believe the
voters of McNairy County know
ing me as they do, will not pay
attention to campaign literature

P. Harkins in which insinuations
are cast as to the status .of the
school fund and warrants and
county revenues. In the inter-
est of fair play, and that simple
justice may be done, | will state
that as Chairman of the Revenue
Committee for the past 8 years
| have examined carefully all the
warrants issued and in every in
stance they show to whom issu-
ed and for what purpose, and
there is no irregularity in any of
them.
The reports of Supt. Abernathy
to the County court were made
exactly like those reports made

him. | have no interest in this
controversy, but believe in every
man getting a square deal.

A. E. Gonzales, principal if not

A. T.. Gonzales, principal if not
sole owner of The State company,
Columbia, says that The State
company is not a. part of the mo-
nopoly which is doing the legis-
lative printing for the State of
South Carolina, about which
something was heard in York
county during the recent cam
paign. If Mr.. Gonzales were asked
why The State company and the
h. l.. Bryan company, bidding
Jointly in the fall of 1916 for the
legislative printing for the years
1917-18, with the knowledge that
the two companies were in posi-
tion to force the joint committee
OH printing to accept their bid or
allow the Legislature TO go with
out printing, refused to do any of
the work unless they were award
ed the contract for printing the
acts for the two years at a mate
rally higher price than that Of
fered by Charleston concern,
whose bid the committee was
therefore compelled to reject
A. E. Gonzales likely enough
would say that he had no knowl-
edge of such an incident and that
The State company was not then
nor has it since been part of
any printing monopoly. And if
one should go little farther and
ask A. +. Gonzales why The State
company, bidding this year as
usual with the h. l.. Bryan COM
pany for the legislative printing,
is now seeking to charge the peo-
pie of South Carolina around 20U
per cent more for certain publ
cations in the legislative printing
than his company and the Bryan
company charged for practically
the same work in 1916, as the bid
clearly shows, the man asking
the question probably would get
little definite information. 1t can
to be said in justice to the Bryan
company, however, that that con-
cern has yet to assume an arbi-
trary, bullheaded attitude in it's
relations with the joint commit
tee on printing. In the opinion of
at least one member of the joint
committee on printing, the legis-
lative printing would be done at
lower cost if the setting of the
price were left to the Bryan COM
pany alone.
Pity the man who gets the
swell head because of advance
ment in position. When level
headed people see men thus af-
fected, they know these men are
misfits. To be cashier or presi-
dent of bank, member of the
Legislature or governor or to hold
any other position of honor and
responsibility does not cause real
men to become all puffed up with
self importance. Such transitory
honors should not cause any one
to overestimate himself and there
by underestimate others.
