County Treasurer Southern Res
monstratcd in Vain. What
Became of Mule Money!
Special to The State.

Special to The State.
Green.ille, July "a, -"Damn
tho law" said the then Super
visor SpeeSle one day last fall to
Henry j. Southern, county treas-
urer, when he was demonstrated
with for the violation Of the law
in certain transaction
Such was the startling testi-
mony of Treasurer Southern this
morning hef,re the commission
now investigating the affair. Of
the Office Of the county supervisor
and this statem-nt wus folio we'd
by succession of others no less
sensational in character.
Treasurer southern produced
tho records which showed that
the amount of money received by
the county for changing road
for the Paris Mountain Water
company in 1902 has never been
,urned over to him. If $3.50
had been received for this job of
work, the treasurer sworc it had
never been turned over to him.
Ii ST. $50 had Leen received for
this lob Of work, the treasurer
swore it had never been turned
over to him through the regular
channel to HIM.
1t has been proved that an
amount of money was refunded
the county on a contract job on
the piers Of the Fork Shonls
bridge, and this amount, also
swore Treasurer Southern, had
never been turned in.
The treasurer testified further
that during the year 1908 Speegle
turned in only $4,000. Up till
December l, 1904, witness con-
tlnued, there was turned in only
$3.50. During December thero
was $2,O30.6+ paid In, which
amount was supposed to have
been received for certain county
property sold during that mon,h.
Treasurer Southern was asked
ii he had or had not on any oc-
caslon talked with Speegle about
the manner which he (Speogle)
was conducting the affairs of his
office, to which he replied that he
had on several occasions remon-
strsted with him, but was never
able ty get any satisfaction about
the matter he replied, damn the
law" After this the treasurer
said no more;to him about the law
governing the conduct Of his Of
fee.
What became of all the mules
owned by the county is a request
still unsolved by tho commission,
although the sale of at Ienst 80
has been discovered. 1t is thought
that little Of tho proceeds Of such
sales was turned in, and the COM
mission Is endeavorlng tn find the
exact amount thus obtained. 1t
is alleged that SPeegle prcketed
the funds not turned IN.
John d. Harris testified today
that he purchased a pair mules
from the county and no record If
this particular sale has been found
]. Il. Brown also testified tins
morning to having purchased a
mule from the county, paying
$40 for same, and no record Of
this scale can he found either.
Various other sales have been
proved, of which there are no
records to explain. This is con-
sidered to be one of the most SER
GUS charges yet made by the conf
mission.

Remember, we are now and have

time has come when IL is as
much important to look after the
marketing of the crop as it is of
making it; and to effect any
good in that liue We must be in
touch with all the great forces
that are now at work along that
line. We can do nothing with.
out organization therefore, we
should by all means get all our
people in liue and got there now.
so that we may be in position to

protect our interests. We want
a Cotton Association organized
IN every community in the
county. Whatever help you may
need, let US hear from you, and
1t it is in our power we will
give you all the help we can.
Now, we must get up oil dues,
which, as laid down IN our con
sti:atlon, are very small; yet
some money is ABSOLUTELY neces.
sary to meet expenses. And do
not allow so small amount az wa

we would be glad to have our
