AN OPEN LETTER.
Jadee 4. P. McMahon's Reply to J. J. Cra'e's
Political Effort.
Mr.. J. J. Craig,
FL Dorado, Ark.

Dear Sir
In answer to your printed pam
phlet, which you have seen fit to
circulate as your method of clean
politics, will briefly state: That
you can produce no man who has
ever heard me state one word de-
rogatory of the Courts, Grand Jur-
les and Commissioners of Accounts
of this County. | have not only
insinuated that you owe Union
County money, but have told you
so in open debate, and you failed to
refute the charge; and in the state
ment place the blame on no one
but yourself The Commissioners
of Accounts, having but three
weeks in which to perform the
work allotted to them, cannot go
over every charge of all the offic-
ials during the year. They can
only determine whether the charge
has been allowed. and not the le-
gality of each charge.
The first three pages of your cir.
chlar is simply plea to gain sym
pathy to save your political life,
but any one who takes the trouble
to read your article will be readily
convinced that the day of dem
agoguery is only at noon-tide.
Your questions will answer in
the order in which they are asked,
The Levying Courts instructions
were to get an expert accountant
to audit the books of the officials
for the last three years past. and if
you will ask the Justices of the
Peace. who were present, you will
find t,.1dr they had your books in
mind in particular. | have not had
the work done, as did not wish to
take any advantage of you in this
campaign, but the work will be
done, and no one is as uneasy
about the result of the work as
yourself.

For the benefit Of out readers
who may not know when the lsw

the following:
The last legislature passed Till
which was later approved by the
governor. declaring it to be unlaw-
full for any person the to trap. net,
shoot or kill any quail or partridge
from the lst day of March until

The act also provides that it shall
be unlawful to shoot. kill or persue
by dogs any deer or fawn from the

day of September in each and ev-
cry year. 1t also makes it unlaW-
full to kill by any method whatso-
ever any wild turkey from he lst

matter Most of the contracts
covered timber owned by the Miles
Lumber Co., and that company had
removed the timber. and were not
interested in sans, and part of the
contracts were owned by a compa-
ny in which you we're a large share
holder: and also. because it would
only tend to let some tax shark de-
rive title to the farmers timber,
when the farmer paid tax on his
land, and was to have every thing
turned back to him when the tim
Der was removed. As a saW-miil
man you are aware that saW-mill
companies do not let their timber
contracts go delinquent as long as
they have any interest in the tim
Der.
So far as the indebtedness of
the County is concerned. you know
that the debt was made before
went into office. The Records
will show that expended less in
the last eight months of the fiscal
year. than my predecessor did in
the first four months. Your fees
of $l9z9.O5 for the last two
months you were in office as Coun-
ty Clerk, as sworn by your state
ment, and the 5000 that you re-
ceived and did not put in that
statement. helped materially to en-
large the indebtedness CT the Coun-
ty.
The Index books were made at a
cost of seven and one-half cents

that DR.. Pinson received ten cents

the statement that the books cost
too much comes with poor grace
from you. who took it upon your
self to inform those who we're do
ing the work that they were not
being paid enough. that DR.. Pinson
had been paid ten cents per index.
and that they ought to get the
same from Judge Mcmahon. And
seven and one-half cents per index
should not look large to you who
charged as high as $4,000 for a
single index when you were Coun-
ty Clerk.

of Cortegada in the Bay Of Arosa, op-
posite the port of Carril and the sum

the new summer home Is designed to
give the youthful couple place where
they can entertain guests independent

The island is about three miles and

ing breezes and commands splendid
views, varying from the broad Allan
