1897. In addition to above I
collected of taxes prior to the
year 1896 the sum ol $9181.21

receipts for it.
Mr. Sanford claims that the
comptroller general has perse

in the comptroller’s office show
that this claim is not correct.
By reference to the statement
above, it can be seen that Mr.
Sanford was allowed seven
months in office before he paid

tax of 1897. He is due over sl2,

lie may be due to the county.
This statement shows that the

Sanford unduly, an 1 his above
quoted letter shows that he is

Now, tax payers, of Floyd

what he has done with the $25,-
000 he says he collected. Ask
him why he wrote the coinptrol

until June the 6th to account
for this money.
On June 6th, you vote. It will
be too late then to know the
truth. Why has he not shown
up before? Why not show up
now? Why not on June 4th be
fore the election? Is not it sig
mlicaut that Mr. Sanford should
fail to show where this money
is, and then beg the authorities
to wait on him till June the 6th.
If on the afternoon of June
