Times talks about Bryan having agreed

We would like To inquire how much
stunning the Richmond Times did for
Ofcrrall? 1t treated the man in his
candidacy with the utmost contempt.
1t denounced his nomination as the
"foistinS of an unfit person on the
Democratic party" 1t could not CON
ceal it's disgust, and made no attempt
to do SO. Now that O'Frrrall has be-
trhvcd the Democratic party. the Times
thinks of him no longer as a cheap
politician. Any man who worships the
golden calf. though formerly Il blathcr-
Skitc. becomes Il saint in the estimation
of the dccoy organ.

FULTON CoUNTYS LOST TAXES
THE COMMISSIONERS TRYING To
COLLECT THE MONEY.

Treasurer Hayne and Clerk Cooper
Both Deny Responsibility for the
so-CnIIed Negligence in Collecting
1.-THE CommissIoners Playing 10
Hold Each Liable Until a Settle
ment H. Secured.
Atlanta. Ga. April THE board Of coun-
ty commissioners this afternoon met to
receive the report Of County Treasurer c.
VI. Hayne. who was cited 10 appear last
week and make a showing as to the short
age Of ex-Clerk J. F. Cooper. The board
has taken the position that Treasurer
Hayne is liable under the law for the loss
to the county, as il was his duty to make
the collections which were made by Clerx
Cooper and kept by him. Clerk Cooper
is not, however. relieved OF responsibility
by this position, by which both are held
liable.
Treasurer Hayne appeared before the
commission by attorney. who made a de-
NAL Of his responsibility. but did not
submit any specific answer to the de-
mands Of the board for a statement from
the books that would show the exact
character Of the shortage. Attorney
Thompson, representing the treasurer,
wanted the board to take summary ac-
ton against Clerk Cooper, with whom ne
communication, but could not do so, the
ex-clerk keeping at a distance from him,
and an explanation.
No additional light was brought out as
TO Clerk COOper's shortage, and the only
action taken by the board was TO pass
a resolution instructing a committee to
take legal proceedings against whoever
might be responsible for the collection
of the money due the county. The com
missioners announced that all they want
is the money. If Clerk Cooper pays up he
will not be criminally molested, and the
board is disposed to give him ample time
to secure himself, whether his shortage
be Slice as he admits, or that many
thousand, as has been variously report
ed. The ex-clerk, however, claims that
he will not pay to the county any money
on account of what may have been lost
by reason of the failure to collect the
liquor or theater taxes. He declares that
he cannot he held responsible for this
neglect and the eliminating of this feat
ure from the shortage cuts 1t down S10,-
900 or $1,000, at least.
The commissioners decided that here
after a tax of IS for each performance
shall be levied on theatrical companies,
and steps were taken to insure its collec-
ton regularly This will be a rough taA
to the show business, amounting TO about
81, 500 a year, in addition to the $500 city
tax and regular state tax on the theatre
cal business.

Waycross, Ga, April 7.-Judge j. S.
Sweat was seen to-day in reference to the
publication in Sundays Constitution con-
corning Col. f. H. Burch and pronounced
the statement therein made as misleading
and unfounded. He says Col. Burch was
given the privilege at Appiing superior
court of addressing the people during
Mondays noon recess, and that he wrote
him the other day that Mr.. duBignon
had been promised this privilege in CharI-
ton for Tuesdays noon recess, prior to
his announcement to speak at the same
time and place that the time was limited
in which to hold the court and transact
the public business, every hour of which
was at the public expenses; that there
fore the noon recess could not at the ut
most be extended beyond an hour ana
a half and that subject to this Imita-
ton public addresses could be made But
he suggested the time was inopportune
and that it would be better for speakers
and the people to make appointments for
political speaking that would not conflict
with the courts. Beyond this the Judge
says no statement or suggestion has been
made by him concerning the matter
