Ii this little deficiency simply
means errors in figuring, then you
are wrong, and should I've convicted
i'm court Of the vilest criminal libel
AS you now stand convicted in the
eyes Of all fair-minded men.
The iow-nlinsled perverter of truth
tries, in the above extract, to exon
crate the 'two able experts" whom
the Commissioners employed at
large expense to the county, by say
ing "but all the papers connected
Herewith were not at the time in
the office and they were not known
to exist" IL was the duty of these
accountants TO demand such docu-
ments, but there was no exertion
made to procure "all the papers
we presume they were not wanted
in that particular hunt-because
Assessor Mahoney received and re-
ceipted for all papers appertaining
to the office, and be was never called
upon to furnish them TO the Sex
pert accountants"
IL will be observed that this crim-
inai libelcr and reported black
mailer, in the above whine, now
uses very mild language, such as
shortage" etc, whereas, in his vile
and uncalled-for attacks upon ex-
Assessor Payne, made even before
the report Of Madison and Waller,
i'm two or more issues of his highly
influential and moral sheet pro-
claimed in print to the world that
payne Is A ROBBER, A DE-
FAULTER. and has monkeyed
with his books" and that within a
specified time these charges would
be proven. And he, even now, in
the above extract, claims that the
above charges were biased upon
good and justifiable grounds"
Well, this fellow will have an
opportunity to prove ALL of his
malicious charges against Payne
3niess he shall have sufficient ill
gotten means with which to bride a
majority of the next grand jury TO
ignore the complaint.
1t is common talk, and all COM
ing from Mountain Home-but for
the truth of which we cannot vouch
that this viper recently black
NAILED two prominent men oil
Mountain Home to the tune of $500
each, and, if this is fact, he may
be foolish enough 70 believe that
that 81 900 can purchase sufficient
number of grand jurymen to cause
him to escape just punishment
But the fellow will be sadly disap-
pointed, and he will learn that it will
hs a hard matter indeed to find ever
one other person in the grand jury
room, or in all Gilmore county, Sc
low and degraded as himself.
Word came up here Wednesday
from Mt. Home to the effect tha'
the libeler had been attached fol
debt. 1.-THE mills Of the gods grinC
