COUNTY 'INANCES. A good deal iats been said in one way a d another about. the financial condi ti on of the county. We are not in posi tion just now to give the condition in det ail but. a few facts may be of inter est to the ta% payers. At the session of the Legislature of 1902 the county commissioners were authorized to bor row $5,000 for ctrrent expenses, so as to place the county !a a cash basis during the year and to pledge the taxes of that year for the payment of the loan. The same legislature provided for the loan from the Sinking Fund of $5,000 for past indebtedness to be paid back in five equal annual instalments, and a special levy of one-fourth of one mill was provided inl order to meet the an nual payments. This provision being part of the Supply bill the county com1 missioners did not find out that they were authorized to secure the loan until it was too late to have the auditor put the levy on for that year, and as a re suit I he loan was not secured. The Act of 11102 reads: "lhe s.uipervisor is hereby authorized and (.1m1powered to borrow for current expses not monre than five thousand dollars <Ihing thie year 11102 from the Sinking Fiid Commit i.sion oil the note of th- oity0111 Supelrvisor. anld Coulty 'l'reatsuJre', and to pedg the county taxls f 1902 for payient of said hir roweVd imonvy anld for, initereStohrn ...Forl . purow of putttinig the coilty m1 a cash basis, the county boardl of1 l4)il[ioners fre hreiy au ihorizeW4 lo bmrrow fiv t Iusari dollars, if* o mimich he ri-rssary, firom the Sink liv. :auimal instalhnnts, mald for Ihe pr11pose of repaying tho s:ailf., a tax of 01n, fourthIl of at mil11 Is her-ebly lovied uponl the ta(i roet f the. co'm ItV."

Smith ("Bill Arp") died at his home in Cartersville, Ga., on Monday. His pen is stilled forever the pen which so truly framed in words, homely though they were, the sent i ments of the great masses of the South during the stress of a fratricidal strife, during the dark period of reconstrue tion following, and in the later days during the building of a now South loyal to the Union and at the same ti me true to the old traditions. "Bill Arp" was a writer for the masses. His writings fih.3t attracted attention in the early part of the war, and during the progressof the war he became widely known. During that time and up to the time of his death his letters were looked forward to eagerly and read with great interest thoroughout the South. There was nothings brilliant about them. Very often there was nothing original. 13ill Arp's fame grew out of his ability to reach the heart through the printed column. His sentiments found echo in the hearts of the Southern people. Ilis first widely read letter was his answer to Lincoln's proclamation in the early stage of the war advising the Southern army to "disperse." Arp told Lincoln that he had gone out and tried his "darndest" to "disperse" but just couldn't. This letter, though it was written some forty years ago, still holds a place in the memory of many men who have aged with the flight of the years since then, and in talking over those troublous times with their coipan ions of those (a,s aid since, and in recounting the glorious story of brave deeds and of' patient sufTering to their childreni and grand children, they still tell what Bill A rp told lincoln when be advised tihe South ern arimy to disperse. flow ridicuilous the advice sounded to them then! Such was the character of Arp's writings during the war. In the dark days which followed, when starvation pressed upon the heels of war, when Davis was in chains and the South had passed into the hands of the ignorant negroes the tools of Northern varpet baggers, when all was lost save honor and hope, Bill A rp's letters were read for the courage and the patience and the forbearance which they inspired. And even then his quaint humor helped to lift mally a heavy burden of des pair. During these later years of peace his pictures of his own home life have in spired to contentment an( happiness in the path of duty, however hurinble, if honorable. In Mrs. Arp he has pi tured thousands of women throughout the Southland happy in the love of home and children. Ilis philosophy and his hunor were quaint and horneiy, but were such that they touched the great maasses and were appreciated by thern. lie has pleaded for a reunited country, but not at the expense of the traditions which the (old South held dear, not at the expene of a failure on the part of a later generation to honor the roenim ory of their fathers who fought for a 'auase which was just. Thousands throughout the Southlandl h ave laughed withi A rp andl have wept with him. lie loved the South arid her pe.ople with a passion which kne'w no0 failing. Many air old1 Con federate sol dier will wipe from his eye the unbiade-n e-ar whenr hre hears that "'Hill A rp" has passedl from his Ilabors her''is beow.., arid threir chrildjren will horror their fathers when they mioun bio:'at "'A rp"' is dead.

Cleveland is one of the brainiesti men in the country today, but by nominating him for a third term the Democratic party would beat itself at the very start. The party has handicapped itself in too many races in recent years. It ieeds to look for a good man and a sound Democrat who can win. The New York Sun this week printed an interview with General M. C. Butler. Tihe interview was given out in New York. "It seems to me," said General Butler, "that the Democratic party has an opportunity to win at the coming election such as it has rarely had since the civil wiar. From my conversations with the gentlemen representing all parts of the country, I am convinced that were the Democratic party to come into the field next year with acandidate representing conservatism and on a platform reassuring to the business in terests of the country, there would be as many or more conservative lepubli cans who would vote its ticket as voted for and elected Mr. Cleveland. "o Gen. Butler is right. What the Democratic party needs is a leader who is a conser vative on a conservative plat form. The next question is to find the leader and then to get the various factions of the party to support him. This is a pretty hard job, but it must he accomiplished in order that there may be Democratic victory. .1. E.
