ABSOLUTELY PURE
SHERIFF M'NAIR.

! Following the action of District At.
torney Hudson in disappearing certain
items in Sheriff McNair's account and
the collision between the District At
torney and Circuit Clerk McNair, vari-
Gus reports and rumors have appeared
in dispatches to the daily papers, re-
flecting more or less seriously on the
honor and integrity of Sheriff McNair
One of these reports, made on the au-
thority of District Attorney Hudson,
was to the effect that several months
ago the Sheriff was behind in his set
Elements with the county, and that not
until the District Attorney threatened
to report the matter to the Governor
and have him removed, did he make
the amount good. Sheriff McNair was
interviewed on the subject by the edi-
tor of The LEADER yesterday and asked
to make statement. He denounced
as utterly false the statement that he
had ever been threatened with remov-
al, as stated, and said the only color of
truth in the report was that he was de.
layed a few days in making settle
ment in January, 1892, while busy with
his court duties, and that the district
attorney and present county treasurer,
who had then just assumed their Off
cial duties, had misconstrued this de-
lay and complained to him about 1t.
County Treasurer Isaac G.. Smith
was interviewed by q LEADER reporter
today and asked for statement, and
corroborated what the Sheriff had said,
and added that all of his settlements
had been straight and satisfactory
since.
Another rumor given great pu blicity
was that certain books of the Sheriff
were missing that were known not to
have been burned, and many dark in
situations and surmises were whisper
ed around by over-suspicious persons.
QUESTION: ed as to this, Sheriff McNair
said every book in his office at the
time of the late fire is safe except one,
and that an unimportant one, the con
tents of which can be supplied from
memoranda saved.
Both County Treasurer Smith and
County Auditor May, who the editor
of The LEADER also interviewed, agree
in saying the Sheriff was up in full
with his settlements and the record
perfectly clear behind him when the
last fiscal year closed October 1st.
We will be permitted to add that The
LEADER has investigated these reports
and rumors impartially and as fully as
practicable with the sole purpose of
getting at the truth, let the blame fall
where it might. and it does not hesitate,
but regards it as its duty to say. it can
find nothing in them to justify the crit
icism which has been visited upon
Sheriff McNair. Let those who believe
otherwise produce the proof, or else
have the common decency and fairness
to hold their peace.

The Board of Supervisors will have
good deal of important business be
fore it at its meeting next week. One
thing which should receive prompt and
thorough attention is the renewal of
official bonds. The bond of every of
fetal in the county from sheriff to
constable was destroyed by the late
court house fire. A copy of the Sher-
ifs bond is on file in the Auditors of
flee at Jackson, but this is the only
written trace of a bond anywhere. OF
course, the destruction of bonds does
not relieve the signers from liability
on them, but in a suit the county would
have to prove who the signers were,
and in many instances this would be
very difficult, if not impossible, as mat
tiers stand.
