Attorney General to Collect On
& Stolen Bonds.


The attorney general has notified
former State Treasurers Bates and
Timm merman that he looks to them for
immediate payment of the amounts
for which they are liable on the bonds
purloined by Bond Clerk Zimmerman
during their administrations. The
amount for which DR.. Bates is liable
is 81 600, with $517.50 accrued inter-
terest. That assessed against DR..
Zimmerman is $4,000 with $4,21S.75
accrued interest, the incumbent treas
urer, is liable for 81 900, with S292.55
accrued Interest, but has signed has
intention of paying up Immediately,
without legal process. Each treasurer
is under a bond of 500, 900, which holds
good for twenty years. The Daily
Record Oct. IA.
From letter received by Attorney
General Lyon from DR.. W. II. Tim
norman, former State treasurer, it ls
evident that the latter will at once
contest any claims on his bond on ac-
count OF the 81 0rtage in his Office, due
to the illegal acts of a clerk. DR.. Tim
norman states that he does not con-
slider himself morally or legally bound
to pay the shortage charged up to his
administration which is about $14, 600,
and that he will leave it to the court
to settle. He further states that he
takes this step "because of the con-
fession of a thief, aided by another,
whom the State of South Carolina has
never sentenced and who have never
been punished"

While I am a resident of. Saluda
county I have not forgotten Lexing-
ton, my home county, and its valna-
bile journal.
Crops, especially corn, lis good in
this section. Cotton is somewhat
short. We believe that the majority
of farmers are holding most of their
cotton for 15 cents.
This county is pretty well covered
by the Farmers Union which has
been, and is today, a most valuable
organization for the laboring popula-
ton. Our Verona Local 152 has %
live members and is not yet year
old.
The infant child of Mr.. J. Ira Price,
which has been critically i'll for some
time, is now well.
Mrs. Dixon Oxner is again confined
to her bed with fever.
Mr.. w. s. Cotney is seriously i'll at
his. home from the effects Of heart
trouble and Bright's disease.
Uncle Cap Derrick entertained a
number Of his near neighbors last
night with an old time corn husking
