CARROLL FREE PRESS.
CARROLLTON, GA. Jan. 2
Just before going to press, we
have received a letter from the
Hon. Hamilton Kogan,', the sum and
substance of which is, that the
statement as published, in our last
issue, as coming from certain gen
tlemen that Brown would beat
Richards in his own district, the
Fifth, is a mistake ,according to his
opinion. He says that Richards
will carry that part of tlie county
by A considerable majority. As our
space is all taken up we have not
room for the entire letter, but we
publish cheerfully the material
pint in it. Of course this is menly
Col. Hogan’s opinion. Other gen
tlemen equally as reliable many
have different upon ions.

In response to numerous inouiries
as to whether the county will pay
out this year or not, I submit the
following statement showing what
would have been the condition of
the Treasury, had the collector
made final settlement on the lGthof
December, 1S84, allowing . $35,00 on
insolvent list.

is praeti-

$477 v illi which to pay the current
expenses (of the county from Dec.
lGtli 1881 to Jan. lith 1885, together
with all drafts not registered but
outstanding on Dec. 16th.
As can be seen from the above
the average monthly expenses of
the county is over $1000. Should
this month come up to the average
the county will lack over $500 of
paying out besides drafts unregis-
ten d and outstanding on Dec. IGUi
Of’course wc do not know how
many drafts of this class there are.
I will state,; however, that of the
last hundred’drafts received from
the collector,forty four were unreg
istered. This seems to indicate
that'the number Is considerable.
. H. G. Brown.
We, the undersigned (citizens of
Carroll county, ^having carefully
examined the records, find that the
above statement of II. C. Brown is,
as he says, practically correct. AV e
do further certify, that we have
examined the Treasurer’s cash
book for the past eight years, and
wc find ihe total amount received
into tin: treasury on which the
Treasurer charged commissions
during Richards adminis
tration, for four years, will be, on fi
nal settlement with Tax Collector,
$49,344,19. Total amount received in
Treasury on which Treasurer
charged commission during Ju
lian’s administration for four last
years. $21,105,49.
D. L. Tkussell,
N. In. Lowrey.
After a more tliorougn investiga
tion of my books, and the stubs of
the ordinary’s books, I find that Mr
II C Brown’s statement in the Free
Dress is practically correct, so far
as I know. It was not, nor is it
my purpose to injure anyone in
tentionally, and I trust this will
suffice so far as I am concerned.
Respectfully,
J. M. B. Kelly.
Carrolllop Ga., Dec., 30th 1881.
The above shows an increase of
$23,23",70. This is $7,123,21 more
than double, or an increase of 133,41
per ct nt.
No one denies that the necessary
expen es of the county have in
creased. Increase of population
will oi course, cause an increase of
expenditures, but we think the in-
ereasehas been greater than was
necessary had the affairs of the
county been judiciously managed.
The increase of taxable property
has been as great in proportion as
the Increase if population, and we
think this should have fuanished
money enough to run the county
without raising the rate of tax
rom thirty-five cents, where it was
under Julian, to fifty cents on the
hundred dollars. I will remark
just here that the rate under Ju
lian was only twenty-five cents'all
the while except one year it was
thirty-five cents.
The foregoing totals do not in
clude the Receiver’s and Collector’s
commissions as they are not paid
into the Treasury.
Parties may, by going to ttie Tax
Digest, and including these com
missions, try to make it appear
that the resources of the county are
greater than I have made them and
thereby show a surplus in tho
Treasury. Remember they do not
reach tho treasury either as debits
or credits and therefore cannot pos-
ibly effect my statement. As will
bo seendrom the above, had the ex
penses of the present administra
tion increased fifty per cent on the
former, there would have been a
surplus of $17,085.95. An incraaso
of seventy-five per cent would have
left a surplus of $12,409.57. An in
to.. —
crease of one hundred pel: cent
would have left asurplus of $7,133.-
21. There has been, as I have shown
an increase of over one hundred
and thirty-three per coni, and in
stead of a surplus of cash in the
treasury there will be a surplus of
debt after exhausting every dollar
of the revenue of the county.
As an excuse for this extrava
gance, the friends of the * present
administration jplead^extruordina-
ry expenditures for bridges on ac
count of the freshets. I admit that
many bridges were washed away,
but most of them were bonded, aud
consequently, no lossto the county.
Besides I am prepared to prove
that six per cent, the amount as
sessed for bridges under Julian’s
administration would have raised
sufficient money to have paid all
ihe bridge’ expenses incurred by
the present administration. The
rate levied for bridges under Rich
ards was ten per cent and the
amount collected has (been about
four thousand dollars more than
has been expended for bridge pur
poses, which clearly shows that the
freshets have had but'littlc, ifany-
thing to do with the very extraor
dinary expenditures of the county
for the last four years.

To the Voters of Carroll county.
Gentlemen: I want every man
in the county that can consistently
do so to go to the polls on t lie 7th
day of Jan uary and cast their vote
for AY. B. Marchtnan for County
Treasurer. As he is a farmer lie
looks especially to the farmers for
a support, and hopes they will
help him all they can. Those who
are not acquainted with Air. March-
man we have this to say. lie has
been turning the rocks of Carroll
ever since 1862 and never asked for
an office before, and as be is well
qualified for the office, we dont see
why not give him a liberal support.
I not only appeal to the farmers
but to every man in tho county
that can possibly do so to lend a
helping hand, and hope that all
will say on the day of the election
that “I will vote for, AY. B. March-
man^ He is the right man and we
will stick to him, and dont you for
get it. \Ye must elect him!

AYe understand that Richards
has given 14 acres of the most de
sirable portion of the' poor farm,
and a little over $400,00 of the peo
ple’s money in exchange for fifty
acrcs-of poor swampy lands worth
about $350. The poor farm with
improvements only cost $8,00 per
acre, but Richards gives $8,00 per
acre for fifty acres of unimproved,
undesirable land that the county
didn’t need and throws in fourteen
acres of the most desirable part of
poor farm.
AVo understand that a church
was built in the poor farm yard for
the benefit of the poor, which has
been, this year, moved off for a pub

Christmas has come and nearly
gone, without any event of unusual
interest occuring. The customary
fire cracker got in its work , for
about two days and the small
was happy.
A Christmas tree at both the
towns on separate nights, was at
tended by a large number of chil
dren and grown people. Some very
handsome presents were given to
friends. Both occasions passed off
without any disturbance.
A number of socials, and dancing
parties, have contributed to the
pleasures of the young people.
A Sunday-school festival, will
coiner off to-night at the old town
academy, which promises to be
quite a nice affair, provided ihe
weather is favorable.
AYe have had no street rows or
any disorderly conduct during the
holidays, with the exception of one
drunken negro who after being ar
rested and carried to the calaboose
took a sudden notion that he had
urgent business in other parts, and
took to his heels and made good his
escape and has gone for parts un
known.
This town seems to be the espe
cial object of the candidates for
county officers. AA T hen anybody asks
who that stranger is,.the answer
is that he is a candidate, and the
greatest trouble with us about vot
ing, will be that all the aspirants
except a very few are unknown to
our citizens, from the fact that they
reside in a different part of the
county.
Tho desire for office and easy
places has not prevailed in this part
of the county to any alarming ex
tent in the present ease. However
we can say that when any voting is
to be done we’ll try to swell the ma
jority for the best. man.
AVill have to sec the votes count

Farming.—Farming may be a
slow way to make money by some
people, but then, as Bill Arp says,
there is a law of ‘ compensation’ 1
about it. It is not only the
life “freest” iu the
world, but wo may add, the
most lordly. Note the thorough in
dependence of the intelligent far
mer who recognizes and develops
the vast resources of the soil.
Notcet
I take this method of notifying all
who are owing me, that 1 am need
ing the money and will be thankful
for early and prompt- payments*.
All those that I have carried ove^
are especially notified that i
can carry them no longer, that I
will be forced to collect tho money.
Please bear this in mind.
L. C. Mandevllle.
