70 Mr.. pete" BeddOW.
Msstatements relating to the follow
Ing matters, affecting me. are contained
In the two and half columns in which
you laboriously undertake to answer my
recent card:
First-There is no law passed by the
last or any other Legislature. which gives
any preference to the payment of the
fees of my office over those other officers
and witnesses in criminal cases.
Seeond-Witnesses are not forced to sell
their scrip for fifteen cents or any other
sum, on the dollar. Where they wish
to sell 1t they have been getting, I'M
der the present contract. seventy-1ve
cents on the dollar; and where they do
not wish 10 sell II. they can register it
and get dollar for dollar-just like the
scrip dealer to whom they sell 1t does
and just like I do with my fees. l am
not and have not been for twelve years
interested to the extent of one cent IN
the purchase of witness scrip.
Third-My office is a constitutional Of
flee so far as fees are concerned. ex-
aetly in the same way that the probate
judges. sheriffs and that of other clerks
are. You know perfectly well that ex-
actly the same constitutional provisions
relate to the fees of the offices of all
clerks and other county officers, and yet
you try to create the impression that
there is something in the constitution
which would prevent applying the same
sort of legislation to these other offices
that you hope to apply to that of the
clerk of the criminal court and the county
treasurer. You, in effect. admit that you
favor legislation aimed at me personally

fortunate finish. the Barons lost the final
game of the series to the locals. when in

tered hits, and had issued no passes In
fact he pitched one of the prettiest games
seen on a local field in a long time. His
club played excellent ball behind him.
The Birmingham players are incensed at
the work of Umpire Buckley whom, they
say deprived them of one run and a vic
tory in the ninth inning. In this round
Montgomery started things moving with a.
slashng drive to center for a base. Moles-

inside the first base line. Carey, Cooley

but when Carey got the ball Cooley ran

arrived about the same time as Moles-
worth but it appeared as If Wordsworth
was over the bag when Carey made the
throw. Buckley said he was out. This play
put Montgomery on second and Smith
then walked. which, If Wordsworth had
been safe, would have filed the sacks.
Then Dale Gear drove "A long low liner
into center which Nadeau caught after
run. This would have scored Montgomery
had the latter been on third.
In the tenth inning Oyler made Suggs
pitch four bad ones and walked and Gar
vim laid down a neat sacrifice. Then AL
