SENATOR CLAY
SAVES S34O,OOO.
By Close Attention Saved
Government Big Sum
in Senate

Washington. March y Senator
Clay's watchfulness yesterday saved
the useless expenditure Of $4,000.
The Notifications appropriation bill
was up. Senator Lodge led a fight
against the expenditure Of any part of
100000 in Hawaii and the PHILIPPINES
in Subig Bay. Ee claimed it was an
effort to divert the expenditure from
Subig Bay to Cavite.
Senator Teller moved to strike out
reference to the PHILIPPINES and it Vas
going through in that way, when Sem
ator Clay came forward with motion
to cut the appropriation down to $780,
900. He showed by estimates Of the
war department that this amount was
sufficient, and on this showing won his
point.
Within the brief space of twenty
minutes the senate voted away $780,
900 900, the sum being carried in the
pension appropriation bill.
Discussion was devoted during the
day to the PHILIPPINES Notifications
bills, Senator Bacon taking proni-
nent part.

ZOE WATER ~

L feel that it would nos do to close
this article without referring to the all
absorbing question of ice water. The
editor of the Courier seems to have ice
water on the brain.
This Is AN OUTRAGEOUS EXPENSE THAT
OUGHT TO BE STOPPED. 1t costs from
two to four cents per day during the
summer months, and is used principal
ly by farmers and others who reach
town from the country in hot and
thirsty condition, But Mr.. Morris says
its too expensive. Perhaps the hun
dreds of people from all parts of the
county who have come to my office to
get this ice water will take different
view Of it. At any rate 1 shall contin
ue to keep it for their benefit.
This is all the space I have at pres
ent. In subsequent article / shall
take up the county expenses for 1904
as compared with 1902, and show
from the official records that the Cour.
ier's figures are largely exaggerated.
Respectfully,

who is most familiar with the records,
he backs square down. He has not yet
answered my letter, neither has he
published my article. If l were run
ming newspaper, and had used it to
make vicious attack on any one, |
would be manly enough to publish his
reply even though it took the hair and
hide.
Now to the subject of this article. l
published two weeks ago the Act of
1901, setting forth specifically the Or.
cinary's duty as to furnishing wood.
coal, lights, records, stationery and Of
flee supplies in general at the court
house. When confronted with this law
Mr.. Morris acknowledged that it was
alright, but said he simply wanted to
put it up to me to explain it, He now
falls back on 1901 before that law was
passed, and claims that the payments
for that year were illegal. May be he
knows that is alright too, but wants
me to explain it. If such payments
were illegal in 1901 they certainly we're
Illegal during all the years Judge Stone
was in office, and the Courier says his
work stands as monument of integ-
rity," and in this do not take issue
with it.
That one statement of the Courier
takes all the wind out of its own argu-
ment against me, for every one knows
that Judge Stone and all his predeces-
sors furnished courthouse and office
supplies at the county's expense, and
levied tax every year for that pur-
pose, as it was their duty to do. The
authority is found in Vol, I, Sec, 4O4,
par. of the Code of 1895, and reads as
follows: ITO pay the expenses of the
county for bailiffs at court, non.resi-
dent witnesses in criminal cases fuel.
servant hire, stationery and the like
This section is from that part Of the
law defining for what purposes the Or
binary shall levy taxes.
Now, it is true that the county has
two typewriters, one in the Clerks Of |
ice and one in my office. The Courier
says there are three, but I have not
seen the third one. THAT is about as
near correct as any of its figures |
These typewriterS are used for record
ing purposes, and pay for themselves
every year in the saving of record
books. They are source of considera-
BILE economy, besides the convenience.
to the public of having the records in
print rather than in writing, and they
are substitute for pen and ink.
Yes. G. B. Willingham has an office
in the courthouse. He is an official of !
the court and is entitled to it. Col,
Theo Frey is in Mr.. Willingham's office
temporarily until his own offices can
be overhauled. He has never burned
any of the county's coal.
Judge P. D. McCleskey is in the Of
tice with Col. Power, County School
Commissioner. The court house was
built with Justice court room in the
basement. Judge Cicero VIM used
this as an office as long as he lived 1t
takes less coal to heat one office than it
does two.

IN. A. Morris, Dear Sir:-Yours Of
yesterday handed me last night, in
which you refuse to publish my ar
ticle, which sent you in accordance
with your own proposition. This leaves
only one conclusion: After publishing
false figures you are now afraid for
your readers to see the truth.
sin denying my figures you are ac-
eusing j. 81, Gam and Il. A. Hill of
falsehood, for my article specifically
states that the figures we're compiled
by them from the public records in my
office.
at is well established principle
recognize by all men, that no BRAVE
and TRUE man will attack another in
hig own columns and thea refuse him
space to reply.
"Since you have refused to publish
my article, make you this offer:
LET Judge John NJ. Stone. whose
records are under discussion, and J. M.
Gam, the custodian of records, take
the records in my Office for the eight
years in question, and when they have
compiled the figures, publish them in
the Courier and Journal. Yours truly,
John AwtreY.

1t will be seen from the above cor
respondence that Dir. Morris, after is

the matter, aud l had acceFted the one
