If it was a ~"corrupt deal' be-
tween the officials of the county
that prevented the earlier choosing
of a county depository, on what
ground does Benny excuse the
non-action OF the school board as
to the funds in it's treasurer's
keeping? Do the laws which hedge
Democratic officials cease to be of
effect where Republican officials
are concerned?
