/ ly Of misrepresentation of facts, an
/ false statements, asking Judge Broom
( to grant him an injunction restrainin
| the Marion county commissioner
from naming any other newspape
than the one belonging to the revei
! end gentleman in which the deliu
quent tax list for 1886 shall be pub
lished, and it was no surprise to ou
citizens when the news reached then
Sunday that the prayer or petition q
Good Brother Porter had been granted
Many of the statements cOntaine,
in this prayer had been publicly de
MED and denounced as bareface false
hoods weeks ago, and none knew the,
were false better than this good broth
er Of "the CLOTH" notwithstandin,
this he did not hesitate to affix hi
sworn affidavit to the truthfulness o
same, thus proving conclusively tha
he has neither regard for his word o.
the truth.
Good Brother Porter alleges in thi,
prayer that he has gone to considera.
pie expense in the purchase of new
material, stock etc. and the employ.
ing Of extra printers to do this work
to say nothing Of the numerous con.
tracts made with various business
men for the publishingof of their adver.
tise"'ents in the papers containing
this list. All of which was done, ac.
cording to this prayer, prior to May A,
for further on in this same prayer the
good brother says he has been READY
20 90 this work since May 4th, the
day on which the old board designated
his paper as the ore inl which the list
should appear. In his letter to the
board bearing date, May 3rd, 1897,
which also forms part of this prayer,
this same Good Brother Porter says
everything is in readiness now."
Good Bro. Porter also alleges great
conspiracy on the part of three of the
present commissioners and Editor
Harris, of the Banner, who is chair
man of the democratic executive COM
mittee, in endeavoring to deprive him
of what he terms his vested rights"
all of which he knows to be a base
fabrication.
The county commissioners at their
session Tuesday decided by a vote of
two to one, to hold an adjourned meet
ing September %, meantime steps will
be taken TO have the injunction dis
solved, nd the board will then act as
it sees proper and designate the paper
of their choice for this work, and it is
safe to say they will not name paper
that IS owned by man who voted
the republican, democratic, populist
and prohibition ticket all at the same
time, and which is edited by a man
who was recently defeated for county
office on the democratic ticket and
Immediately thereafter hitd himself
away to the mountains of North Car
olina and became one of the proprie-
tors and editors of a red-hot gold-bug,
