EXHIBIT "E''
Per onally appeared before me e.
F. Looper, who, being duly sworn,
says on oath:
That from the 1st day of January
1897 up to and including tho 31st
day Of December 1900, lie was Su-
pervisor FOR the county of Pickens,
South Carolina.
J hat all Eonds then outstanding
against Pickcns county and known
as Air Line Railroad Bonds became
due on the 1st day Of january 1897,
and during the carly days of Janua,
ry 1897 the last coupons on said out
standing bonds were clipped and pre-
scnted for payment and paid, and at
the same time arrangements were
made with the holders of such un.
paid, outstanding bonds whereby the
bonds then unpaid were to be carried
by the bolders on condition that the
interest on the Same at 7 per cent
should be- regularly paid.
That among those outstanding
bonds on the lst of January 1897
were Is bonds held by Henry G.
Hall each of the denomination of
$4,000 representing total indebt-
edne.s of $1,000 90. These bonds
were finally paid by ]. Il. Young
blood, the Treasurer of Pickens
county, and on tho 18th day of Jan.
uary 1900, an order was issued on
the treasurer for the same.
The interest on these bonds was
duly paid to my certain knowledge
by j. T. Youngblood, Treasurer
I have made O careful and pains.
taking examination of the books in
my Office and fail to find where said
j. II. Youngblood, rs treasurer, or
otherwise, hus ever had issued to him
check for one years interest of
$525,00 or any other amount to GOV.
or said interest on the Is Hall
bonds.
It was the custom during NY
term of Office for the holders of the
outstanding bonds to send state
ments of the amounts duo them as
interest to some representative or to
either the Easley or the Pickens
Bank. These motters were present
ed to Mr.. Youngblood and paid off
by him who afterwards presented
his claim for the same at a meeting
Of the County Commissioners who
thereupon issued to said Youngblood
their check for the amount 50 paid
as his voucher therefor.
Upon thorough investigation, T fail
to find where any voucher has over
been issued to Mr.. Youngblood for
the interest on the $500 of bonds
held by Fl. G. Hall for the year i'm.
mediately preceding their final pay.
ment towit: The year extending from
January 1st, 18o9,to the date OF their
payment in January, 1900.
1t appears that these bonds were
paid on the 18th Of January, 1900
therefore the interest due on them
would DO for one year and eleven days
or total of $551.0O, or thereabout
which to my certain knowledge was
paid by Treasurer Youngblood, he
having given satisfactory evidence tc
me of the same at an investigation OF
the railroad in1obt olnnea ,,otfor. ~
