 As you have printed Governor Johnston's interview, which does me an injustice, I hold it but fair and equitable that.you give the public my side of the matter.
 A special to The Age-Herald, signed Kersh, in your issue of the 18th inst, con- tains an interview with Governor Johnston and a letter written by that gentleman to me on August 27, last, in which he intimates that he would demand my resignation also stating that said report seriously reflected upon my opacity and integrity.
 Now, as to the facts in the. case: The act creating the office of mine inspector names the salary as s1 5oO per annum, and allows not exceeding s400 necessary travel ing and office expenses. I received my first appointment from Governor Thos G. Jones, and when the first month expired, I went to Montgomery and presented an account for salary and monthly expenses. Hon. John Purifoy, then auditor, informed me that my account was not in proper shape and made out a regular form for my fu- ture guidance. He informed me that the law required all bills against the state to be itemized, and an affidavit signed in the presence of legally qualified officer that the account was due and that no part thereof had been paid.
 I had a pad of the above mentioned form of voucher printed, and every succeeding month my account was made out on CODY, sent to Auditor Purifoy and his warrant for the amount claimed was drawn on the treasurer and promptly paid by that officer I did not take vouchers every time I pur- chased stamps, or purchased meal while attending to my duties away from home
 frequently in the discharge of my duty I was forced to hire a horse, or horse and buggy. for which I did not take vouchers first, because the transaction was for cash and paid at the time: secondly if there is a section of the code. or anything in the act creating the office of mine inspector that requires that officer to keep vouchers. have failed to find it, and the auditor who gave a form for my guidance. and who issued warrants on the state treasury for my account on a form furnished by him self, for three years. was guilty of great CT violation of law than was, if Governor Johnston is correct in my case. The law see section 6. page 6O9. acts 92-93, allowed $i00 for expenses, when as a matter of fact have paid out of my own private funds necessary expenses in the discharge of my official duties, after the amount allowed by law had been exhausted which expenses have never been paid me. The acts of 96-97 increased this sum to sa0o 10 meet the increased expense of two additional insnec- tors Tha following Is the lanouage of sec ton B of said act: "Be 1t further enacted That for the purpose of defraving the ex- penses of the inspector as provided under
