county board until after the election
of beer dispensers.
The affidavit continues: "The re-
suit of the whole matter was that
lost my position. / attribute this to
my refusal to follow Dunwoody's
and Smiths advice. No charges
were preferred against me, and l
called this matter to the attention of
II. II. Evans in letter which l had
G. p. Sanders write for me, but l have
never received a response from Mr..
Evans"
A letter was read from Mr.. Morris

Mr.. Evans to have his removal inves-
tigated and for fair play. To this
letter he stated he received no reply.

"Recently petition was put in cir.
culation here for the purpose of
having an election on the dispensary
for this county. When the petition
for election was circulated j. w.
Harmon, dispenser, came to me and
said that The Evening Journal
would take up our fight for $500 and
that my part of this would be $25. l
gave Mr.. Harmon check on the
Merchants and Farmers bank for
s25. Before subscribing this l saw
@. 0. Smith and w. N. Avant abont
it, and they said it would be all right
to give it. These men were men,
bers of the county board.
"Afterwards Smith came to me
and said to keep quiet, that Dun
woody would give $50 for this pur-
pose, and that Joe Huseman had
collected from representatives of
whiskey houses in Columbia about
1886, after Huseman's expenses had
been taken out, and that he, Smith,
had received check from Fleisch-
man for $25."
Q. "Did G. o. Smith represent
Fleischman & Co. as selling agents
at that time %
A. 81 think Mr.. Smith represented
them at that time; won't be posi-

tell you all about that, because he
seemed to act as Mr.. Smiths private
secretary at that time"

to G. o. Smith. He said this check
was to go to Dispenser McGordy,
