THOUGHT JOHNSON
EARNED MORE MONEY
BROADFOOT WANT
ED To PAY MORE THAN
CONTRACT.
THE FISCAL COURT MEMBERS
COULDN'T SEE 1T THAT WAY.

The Perkins creek concrete bridge
was accepted yesterday afternoon by
the fiscal court and Bert johnson,
who received the contract from the
Vincennes Bridge company, which
was awarded the contract for both
bridges, vas allowed $1,000 due as a
balance or the bridge, which cost the
county $4,000. Four of the magis-
trates, with Mr.. Johnson, inspected
the bridge yesterday and Magistrate
Broadfoot made the motion to accept
the work, and Magistrate Knott Sec
onded the motion.
II was stated that Mr.. johnson had
placed extra work upon the bridge,
and Magistrate Broadfoot arose and
offered a motion to give Mr.. Johnson
extra compensation for the extra
work, which was not prescribed, but
County Judge Lightfoot and a few
magistrates objected and the motion
never received a second. Mr.. John
son made a statement to the court
in which he said he never thought OF
asking the county for extra money,
but that he did the work as an adver-
tisement and had made one of the
prettiest bridges he had ever con-
strueted.
John Thompson. county road super
visitor, stated to the members Of the
court that in his opinion the work
had been done according to contract,
and that an inspector had watched
the work and he believed the bridge
should be accepted.

cause They We're So Nice.

Another large audience greeted the
candidates for county judge last
night at the Hoverkamp school house,
where the issues of the campaign
were discussed. Good attention was
given both speakers. and the audi
ence seemed impressed with the bust
ness-like manner in which Mr..
Thomas y. Hazelip gave the present
financial condition of the county, as
the result of the mismanagement of
THE Democratic machine" Mr.. A.
W. Barkley. the Democratic nominee,
defended himself and said he was
only responsible for his own deeds.
Throughout the campaign Mr..
Barley has extended the invitation,
by puns and sarcasm, to Hazellp to
drop the issues, and begin a personal
fight for the Office. Last night he
said he stood willing to make
fight imam to man for the place"
Mr.. Hazelip said: 81 have no fight
to make on airy man. l have the
record of the past administration and
propose to place It before you fairly
and in a plain manner. After you
have heard ii, | believe that you will
agree that conditions in this county
should be changed so as to. teach the
present crowd that your funds can
not be mismanaged. We have in this
country two great parties, and one
acts as a check on the other. It is
true that when one party gets into
power and remains long. that condi-
lions grow corrupt, and / say that
kind of conditions exists in Nc
Cracker county today"
Mr.. Hazelip illustrated his point
by a statement that in Pennsylvania,
after the big steals had been pulled
on in the capital, that the voters re-
taliated by putting the Democratic
party into power. Also, he showed
that conditions had grown deplorable
in the state OF Minnesota, and. al
though Roosevelt carried the state by
an overwhelming majority, ne point
ed out that the people wiped out the
machine by electing the late Gov

A NEW RULING.
No One On Jury i'm Last Two Years

local conditions were such as to
Justify the people in giving somebody
else a chance. He said Mr.. Barley

arm of the commonwealth about him.
had failed to discover the Smedley
theft, and after il was discovered had
taken his part in hushing 1t up, and
now wanted to be promoted to the
Office of county judge. Mr.. Hazelip
said: "You have given Mr.. Barley
a chance, and now l think that it
would be right to give me a chance. &"
Mr.. Hazelip took up the finances
of the county and showed how the
law had been violated in order that
the administration might be run. He
took up the pauper fund and the road
and bridge fund, each drawn up to
the limit and with no money to pay
the expense of The county from July /
to November 1 when the taxes for
next year will be received and which
Ithe law prescrlbes shall not be used
for this years debts.
The Smedley settlement was taken
up by both speakers. Mr.. Barkley
took much of his time to explain his
actions and denied that he was in a
hurry to settle. Mr.. Hazelip said Mr..
Husbands notified the fiscal court he
would bring suit for delinquent taxes,
licenses and state taxes. He said Mr..
Barley had ample warning that the
s1,5S6.50 he settled for was not for
all the money due the county He
said that Mr.. VIII Husbands, the
state revenue agent, had receipts in
his hands today for money collected
for delinquent taxes by Mr.. Smedley
for which the county did not receive
a cent. He also pointed out that
Mr.. Barley gave a receipt that was
a blanket receipt for the entire short
age due the county by Smedley. He
cited the fact that Mr.. Barley cast
aside the statute which requires
bondsmen to pay 20 per cent penalty
as damages for keeping the money,
10 per cent interest on the money,
and a penalty of 20 per cent on the
whole for a collection fee. Instead,
he said, Mr.. Barley settled by the
books of a defaulter and before he
(Barkley) had a chance to learn the
exact amount due the state. Not
only did he do this but he allowed
