The S ar Press comes along today and calls the Banner Times a “howling deverish.” We have looked through all the dictionaries in town but fail to (ind that word “deverish.” As soon us we learn what it means we are liable to get angry.
The handbill is still silent on the bond matter. It evidently is willing to stand on its challenge of an examination of the books, in the light of the statement made by an expert who said the entries were misleading. That is pretty good evidence that an ordinary searcher would be in doubt all the time.

Hunter's Soft Soap Expert Bxainiiiatton. The KcNiitt ait Reported. On page 129 of commissioners record book 15, will lie found tbe report of Expert J. H. Hunter! after he had looked through Putnam’s records to find out if the state ojed the county anything. The report ts the greatest piece of soft soaping this county has ever had, and it shows the foolishness and pretense of such an examina tion. The original agreement did not permit the expert to examine into the accounts of the officers or ex officers, so he had but little to report. His report, however, shows that it is hard for even an expert to find out anything about just one item in tbe county’s affairs as he says that “in many instances entries have been made that are aiisleading and apparently erroneous.” It an expert becomes so tangled that entries are misleading in but one set of the books what good will it do a green hand to tackle the “open books” as the Democrat calls all the miss of record? The report is as follows: Tuesday. March 3, isyij. To the Hon. Board of Commissioners of Putnam county. Gentlemen: Persuant to contract heretofore made with your court, 1 have just caused an examination of your settlements with state to be made, by gentleman skilled in public accounting to ascertain whether or not any money is due your eotuiy by reason of errors or omissions in their semi-annual aettlements, I beg I le ve to say that our efforts have been j in vain and that your county lias maintained an unbroken line of accuracy in making their settlements, seldom attained. I can not commend at all times the manner in which your accounts have been kept for in many instances entries have been made that are misleading and apparently erroneous, but which in the end produce the proper result. You have the best system of book keeping that 1 know of now in use in your auditor’s and treasurer’s offices and if their system is kept in its entirety without too much attempt at condensing and abbreviating, which has been the chief fault all along, there 1- little danger of error. The files in the auditor’s office are in bad shape and need to be arranged and indexed and more care taken in future ! to preserve them m systematic order. Respectfullv. J. H. Hunter, By Ed Smith ami J. I). Bell. And the board tieing sufficiently advised do accept and approve said report and order the same spread of record. The only thing commended is the system of keeping books, in force, but the manner in handling, that system is condemned, so the sy’stem does not amount to much. The files in the auditor’s office are iu bad shape, it says, and neetl to
be indexed.
If Expert Hunter cannot commend tbe manner in which the accounts have been kept; if he finds entries that are misleading and ap patently erroneous ; if there is too much abbreviation; if the files are in bad shape and more care needed to preserve them in systematic order what show does an inexperienced tax payer have to examine such bunglesome records? The only thing definite that Expert Hunter's examination developed was that the county safely, surely, certainly, absolutely and securely sent the large sum of .foH.OOO of state tuxes per year into the state treasury. The county never fails on that one point. A good part of our taxpayers are convinced that the county on account of high valuation is being robbed in favor of the state and no expert’s testimony is needed to convince them that •f58,000 to tile state and $-11,000 spent at home is an equal or fair
system of taxation.
We suggest that the local demo
cratic papers print the original contract with Hunter and then the
report of Hunter. They
