When I camo iuto oftico January 1001 after paying out nil Iho money collected from tuxes of 15)00 the county still owed $0,303 25. We had to borrow money to pay the salaries of the oflicers and such other expenses as bad to be met. The followiug is a correct statement of the indebtedness of the county 21st of July, 1904, as the books will show: Claims of 1901 unpaid $ 204.20 Claims of 1902 unpaid 2.021.97 Claims of 1903 unpaid 0,001.20 uiaima oi I'jua unpaid July 22, 5003.97 Due Sinking Fund 1571(5.2G Aaron Boggs, 3 notes, 7,373.05) 11. F. Smith, 1 note, (540.00 Total debt, $37,500.71 The bridges that were washed away last your cost to replace them between $8,000 and $10,000. From tho $20,000 borrowed from the State in 1002 wo paid back a loan of $4,223.55 which had been made to our predecessor, then wo paid out for claims on the books up to that time $6,000 to $10,000, for tho jail $4,000, aud tho balance was used to pay current expenses. Tho levy at no time sinco we have boon in oflico has been sufliciont to meet tho expenses, and an indebtedness has accumulated every year in consequence thereof. The bridges and lumbor items during our tevm of oflico has been exceedingly heavy. But some of tho things which can ha ufnftwl f r\ ultnur f/\?? tltiu in. Sebtedness is: The Sinking Fund 8 4223.55 Unpaid Claims 6000.00 Jail 4000.0H Bridges aud Lumber 10,000.00 13 mules 1300.00 3 road machines 750.00 Stockade, tools, etc. 400.00 Hogs 100.00 Other expenses for 3 years 9,000.67 Cash on hand 1,770.49 Total $37,500.71 These items aro all approximated except the lirst and two or three others, but tire accurate generally. The Auditor has furnished me with a statement estimating the amount we will collect from the levy this fall as follows: Ordinary county $ 9,129.82 Past indebtedness 3,049 93 Rebuild bridges 2433.28 Sinking fund 3049.93 Support of convicts 3041.GO Total $21,903 G2 If all this is collected and ptiid out :>n the debts we will still bo owing ?15,657.09, most of which will be to l.rt ..... l-uu ^lunui^ I UIHI, UUb IHMU )Ul ;he expenses for the balance of thiu pear to meet and we do not know ^vhat they will be until the year ends. And again, we cannot apply all of .ho levy of ordinary county to tho payment of debts contracted this ,'ear if they amount to that much, bccause the lnw requires the bularies >f all the county oflicors to bo paid nonthly, and this should be hel<l onck out of this year's taxes to pay :iext year's salaries. L. I>. Stephens, A J. Welborn. T if! H.nt tlio oli/.vn utntotnonl I tin to the indebtedness of the county ind the amount which will be collected from tuxes this yenr is correct, as I made a personal examination of the books in the Supervisor's office. C. E. Robinson. Snakes. Maj. -J M. Stewart killed a medium gized lattlesnake last Thursday about two miles from town. Late in the iftornoon a man came through town exhibiting the stuffed skin of the snake. Soon a large group of men gathered around to view his snakeship. The rattler was i$ feet <? inches long and H inches in circumference, iind had three rattles. The sight of 11 snake of any kind in a crowd al wa\ s sets men to telling snake stories. It soon developed that there was not a man in the cr nvd of about 25 who had not killed a rattler twice the size of the stuffed snake. The man with the stuffed snake" drove away in disgust, feeling that he only had the skin of a baby rattler. During this* spirited talk about snakes two men in the crowd testified about a monster snake tnat roams on a hillside and a branch a mile and a half from town, this side of the Lyt* tie place. The snake is many years old and has his den in a rocky glen on a small branch. This den is known as "Wolf 1'it From all accounts this snake would be a valuable addition to Rarnum & Bailey's or Hingling's circuses. About thiH juncture tlio crowd betcau to scatter and several felt that thev iniyht need an antidote for snake bites' before getting home, so they went by the dispensary and had Dr. Baker to till a prescription that ainy give viniona of snakes, I ut is a dead shot euro for snake bites.
