THE MANNING TIMES. 39 WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 14, 1887 B-, . DINKINS, Editor. TRUTH, THOU ART A PEARL! --CONSISTENCY, THOU ART A JEWELL. THE TrMES and Eiderprse, of last week diaered very materially in their respective reports of the difficulty in the way of making the annual settle ment between the auditor and treasur er. In defence of the statement made in the TmES, we repeat now what we said then-that our information was derived from a joint conversation with the present auditor and treasurer. Captain Bradham and Dr. Huggins both said that the errors in the ex auditor's books were the only trouble in the way of making the settlement. Any one will accede that we publish ed the best information we could get, for with our limited acquaintance with these complicated books it would have taken weeks or months to have made a thorough examination ourself. But to our great surprise the Enter prise comes out the day next after our issue and says that General Stoney found that the "books, vouchers, and other papers of both the treasurer and ex-auditor were badly kept." It fur ther says, "we have made an investi gation ourselves, and find such tobe the case, as the records show." Dr Huggins publishes a card to-day, in which he flatly contradiets the editor of the Enterprise. On this very vis'f that the Entrrprse savs Genr fon' iic. i'-~pe~tof county treasurer and prououniv. -ed tose books shown him nealy kept ard in properform. Did General Stoney tell the editor of the Enterprise one thing and the treasurer another ? Or did he tell some one else and they the editor of the En prise? Or did General Stoney say to any one what the Enterprise attributes to him? If General Stoney found such a condition of affairs in the Treas urer's office as the Enterprise states, is it not most likely that he would have told the county auditor, a party di rectly interested, which he did not do, for Captain Bradham toid us on Mon day following Gen. Stoney's visit, that the treasurers books were all right. Again, the editor of the Enterprise says he made a personal examination of the' records and found the books, etc. of the Treasurer, badly kept. Dr. Hug gins denies that the editor of the En terprise ever examined his books, and be says that he never sought the op portunity to do so. From the article of the Enterprise, which by the way, is published elsewhere, it appears that . the editor conducted his examination after Gen. Stoney's visit. It strikes us that he is the prodigy of this age,. if he familiarized himself from Mon-j day to Thursday with the books, pa pers, etc., of the auditcr and 'reasu.r - er. We veutuie to stay that no mlani 'can ac-xomplish the same feat in tLree anonths. Now to tumlup for the brnefitofI thejury--the publie: Do you doubt that the editor of~ the Enterprise examined the books, vouchers, and papers of the auditor's and treasurer's office? Do you doubt that Gen. Stoney told the editor of the Enterprise or any one else that the treasurer's books were badly kept ? And, Do you believe that the editor of -Lbe Enterprise has made mis-state ments? Do you believe he has intentionally mis-represented the county treasurer ? If you decide any or all of these iinterrogatories affirmatively, please in -corporate with your verdict the mo --tives prompting such unmanly con -duct. We come now to that part of this remarkable production which berat ingly parades the TnaFs, and by con temptible, low insinuations, accuses it of being blinded by prejudice, belong ing to a "sect or party" which incapaci tates it to give the truth, etc., etc. To explain to our readers the position of the TIMES in the controversy of six mnonths ago, referred to by the Enter prise, we here republish the articles which then appeared on the subject : Issue of March 23rd : The Auditor's "Dlelinquent List'' pub lished to-day, should be read care fully. It may advertise land delinquent on which the taxes are already paid and unless the mistake is corrected, the property will be auctioned, thus incurring a useless ex pens. Issue of March 30th : It is no reflection whatever on the book-keeping of either the treasurer or auditor that the "Delinquent List" may .advertise land "on which the taxes are, already paid." The rush and push by peo pie clamoring to pay their taxes towards the close of the collecting period necessarily causes the most painstaking, careful officer to sometimes omit marking off his book an'] 'occasional payer. This happens in every county in the Stat, and is a grounlesst reason for the assertion that "somecbody's books have been poorly kept." When the property is advertised then the mistake is corrected, and no harm done to any party, |, except that the treasurer has to bear the I expense of the useless advertising. Any ' blockhead knows that the land-owner is not he party to pay the "useiss expense." We did not then, as the articles prove,echampion anybody's book-keep- I ing in the Courthouse. Now, as then, we do not believe that occasional in stances of land on the "Delinquent I List" on which the taxes have beenIt paid is any proof of bad book-keeping. Besides the reason given in the second article above it happens often in cases of litigated lands when each party makes a return of the property in dis pute and only one pays the taxes. The treasurer is charged with both returns and he advertises for his protection the return noe paid. We remeniber an in stance of this in the case of Christopher and ani only one paid th3 taxes. Now, the Enterpries, would blame the oii cer for this, and charges b:&k book-ke ping. Because we think othcrw ise, the Eaderpise says we have hanged oursclf. Well, if we have, the ed itor of that Iaper will re6' ive his f deserts if he is strctche.d by a hempe cod i for his wholesale attacks on people, and.ig norance displayed. Bl its own ntc-ssion what a weak, ignoble journal it appear : Six months ago. it says. -we were then in L possession of almost ais mneb inform:Uon a I we now have in regard to the bad book-1eP ing in question." Is this a journal t0 enry the contidenze and patronage of the people, when it voluntarily acknowledges allow.-ng a wrong, affecting the pecuniary interezts of the people, to exist for six long nonths, without making an effort to suppress or ex pose it. After this hunmiiating c.nfession, is not this the personification of brazen cheek : t "We promise to keep our readers posted correctly po.-ted. The Etderprise will 'hew to the line let the chips fall where they may."' It is laughable inconsistency, when in h11e same breath it says. "We could at this :rit ing give our readers consid.rable infornma- i tion in regard to the matter in question * ." No, it wout do that now, but will wait 'till some one else takes the initiative and imi tatingthe bragart Falstaff when he lutgei the lifeless body of the gallant Hotspur into Henry's camj, and exclaimed, "See what I have done !" The Enterprise knows nothin to tell, no more than has already been puh lished in the TIMES, notwithstanding its wild eha tter to the contrary. Its article is a combination of egotism, L nalice, and ignorance; malice towards the Tixjzs predoruinating. We are unconscious of doing anything to incur so much ill-will and wou like to know wherein we hav3 of- f fended. We recommend to the editor of the t EidereLse a glass totally eclipsed to protect innocent people from his malicious attacks, and the advice of some "party or sect" to teach him the paths of wisdom, truth, and S rectitude. We are not defending anybody's books, or trying to injure any one. We have pub lished all the information we could ;;et and 1 its source in the matter at issue; and there t is nothing behind with us. We have never said nor do we know whetner the treasarer s book's, etc., are- right or wrong. W. vere told ti:-t they are correct by tle present r county audit.r, and in tnotler pilace can beo !uaves us soniing at tate:idicrous farce. And thnt -aper's rvpert of the tre.asu: or's of lice. if untrue, is another evidence of what r the editor of the Enterprise will stoop to, to accomplish a revengeful purpose. The True Facts of the Case. a "Behold the Mountain has Labored and Brought Forth a Mouse." On yesterday, subsequent to putting the above in type, Gen. Stoney was again in Manning and kindly accord ed us the privilige of a few minutes conversation with him in reference to the issues involved in the se.tlenient r between the auditor and treasarer. tl Referring hin to our report of this w atter in last week's paper, he said it i was correct, fair, and impartial. Inj explanation of the compliment paid 4 the auditor and treasurer on the con- e dition of their books, the General y says he made no direct examination 0 h f them, but casually glancing over the pages expressed himself as well tI pleased with their neat appearance, ti and proper form. I am aware, he k said, of no irregularities in the treas- a u-er's books, vouchers, or other pa-. ers, and he is blameless, as far as I le know, for this delay in masking the an- o mal settienment. There is one in- ci tance, however, where the treasurer id wrung. My instructions require im before receiving his "duphecate" a2 to con~pare it with the auditor's oig- n naand unless t.Ley are like and like ~ Lot to receive it. He tailed to do this e ut gave a certilicate to that etfeet. n, We were glad to learn from General i: Stoney that the errors in theC auditor's ti ooks were only clerical, and amount o not more that $70 in taxes. After writing up this interview we D ubmitted it to General Stoney, and ti o use his language, he said : "I en orse every word of it as correct and e, true, in every particular." 1a Military inspection, ii Adjutant-General Bonham has ar- e anged for the inspection of the mili- s Lary of Clarendon at Manning on Fri- lr ay the 30th of this month. There I .re three companies to be inspected; a The Connor Mounted Riflemen, corn- er nanded by saptaini W. S. Briggs, the e: :apton Light Dragoons, command Yd by Captain D. W. Brailsford, and he Manning Guards, commanded by e Japtain A. Levi. They are well uni- er 'ormed and have a full complement of nen and accoutrements. On inspec- w ti ppearance, they will be the largest ody of our citizen soldiery seen on p ur streets since the war. Gen. Bon- w amis anxious that each company urn out its full number of men, and hey are encouraged to do this for the w state allows the respective comnmands our dollars for every man cn inspec - :ion. The money is from the annual ppropriation for the support of the at 2iilitary, and is all the aid received ?i om the State, except the arms fur iished. de General Bonham has made himself er exceedingly popular all over the State Lnd especially among the military. I t"I s due to his exertions that the coun- Ia r has been aroused to a livelier in- fe erest in military matters. It is a a iealthy sign too," for military organi ations are the surest means we no w~ iave for the suppression of lawlessness d the protection of life and proper . The country is enjoying a happy e eace now, but the time has been when military orgahization here and else here was sorely needed, and the ime may not be far ahead, when their c reseuce will be of untold value. Gen. Bonham will be accorded a varm welcome on his visit to Manning P y te Clarendon military. The .Euler'prise exhibits a frantic ~assion and an idiotic disregard for: he truth in its efforts to injure the ErS. "M. C. G-" in no corr-espond- ne ne to this paper has ever classed the B ierchants of Manning "knights of thec: jen or crepit system," as the Enter- I rise has it in its issue of last week mi , ,n article headed "Manning as a Mar-1 "I :et." In his correspondence from e umter to which the .Enterprise has 'eference, no allusions were made to bo u. mecants in any way whatever. N t Ve are at a loss to understand the oundation for the charge unless it is he elastic imagination of the editor f the Enterpri- which it app3ars rnishtel the data for an editorial col mn last week. Hereafter th's para itical, puerile chatter, at the expense f the Tioi:s will pass unuoticed unless e again glaringly deviates from the ruth to place us in a wrong position. Pr. HUW INS CONTRADICTS THE ENTIERPR1ISE, AN) SETS Ill.I1SELF RIGIiT BEFORE THE PEQI'LE. Mr. EDITor. : The following enclos d by quotation marks appeared in he last issue of the Enterune: "Regret that the books, vouchers, tc., of the Couty Treasurer's office o* * badly kept and in a confused ondition as to prevent the usual an ual settlement," and he (Editor) made an investigation" himself "and found uch to be the case as the records how." On Saturday the 3rd of September ,omptroller-General Stoney came to ur town for the purpose of examin ng the books of the Auditor and :reasurer and pronounced those ooks of the Treasurer's shown him, wadly kept and in properJn-m. You vill see, Mr. Editor, how very r the versatile and imaginative edi or of the Enteqprise fell from the real acts of the case. He has, for once, >een "a little too previous" in his trictures on the books and papers of av office. The "whoop" with which he goes uto the matter, like a sleuth hound urned loose from his kennel, shows hat with him, it was a choice morsel nd for which lie had long been lick. .g his fingers. So far from this embryo accountant ver having the opportunity to exam I.. 1'boAS, he has never sought to !u; .i, whenever disnosed, and 61iin my! bouks in the office where Lev are k)ept. In this unkind, unjust, and malig ant onslought upon the County reasurer, the editor of the Enterprise as simply, to put it mildly, (for "love id mercy's" sake) grossly and mali iously misrepresented the condition f my office. H. H. HUGGNS, County Treasurer. EDITORIAL CLIPPLNGS, ciMtabia Rec.rd: Those who failed to get d of their trade dollars at par, if there are ay per.sons who did so fail, have only Iemselves to blame. The period during hich they could be redeemed was quite ing enough and the manner of redemption Mcived wide publicity. The fact that'only ,000,000 were presented for redemption, wever, leads to the not unreasonable con sion that a lot more of these coins will 3t be unearthed from the old stockings and her receptacles in which they have been idden, and their owners will be denounc ig the government for not taking them at eir face value. People who don't read Le papers, however, do not deserve any rmpathy if they lose by their negligence, id are not likely to get any if they present eir trade dollars now. .Marlboro C'hronicle: The Coroner of Berke v has written a letter to Mr. David Cro r of Me'riboro, in which he favors and re >mendls certaisi changes in the law as it rtns to the office o Cuoroner. He also a tint Mr. David co-operate with him by eng; the Representatve from this county, 2d reqjuvsting then. to support a bill at the .r sessiont of the L'gisl' ur--, making the pr'ners office a salarica one of $600 per inumi, and giving Coroners authority to uploy as many Consta'bles as they may tad t each inquest, each to receive $5 per quest to be paid by the county in which Le inquest is held. Abberide Press and Banner : Much i s being Lid about the propriety or impropriety of aff Davis attending the fair in Atlanta. Mr. avis being a citizen of a free aountrv we ink he', like every other citizen, has a per t right to go. He has no more right, how or. to speak for this country than any oth good citizen. If he goes, ,,he like Cleve ud, will add something to the show, or enagerie, and whatever adds to the show a legitimate way may be all well enough. ut as a matter ot fact, we are inclined to te opinion that both Cleveland and Davis ould stay away from Atlanta. Mr. Cleve nd is now .solid in the South. He is nothing to gain by coming here, and Smay lose much. The Republicans know at he will be renominated for the Presid icy, and if any of their newspaper report s may distort anything he may say, they ill be very sure to do so. Mr. Davis had tter stay away. To be exhibited as a rare iial at a show would not be much of a tpliment to the Ex-President of the South n Confederacy.
