4 STATEMENT FROM
COMMISSIONER WATKINS

Editor Star: Among the several
things between J. D. Robertson and
myself. while all. pertain 10 my af-
fairs as commissioner as his affairs
as an individual, the one that he
made the assault on me about on
Dec. 3, 1913, was some logs cut off
the Robertson road. To begin with,
my overseer, c. A. Carter, told me
some one had cut nine logs out of
the Robertson road and asked me if
! knew who cut them. | told him |

Of the board Mr.. Robertson present.

ed Mr.. Robertson to have his bill o.

that a custom when l had not seen or
ordered work done. Then my road
overseer and l went over the road
and counted the logs, and found fif-
teen. Then | made a bill and okay-
ed for the fifteen logs amounting to
1882. And this is the whole cause
of my being arrested Tuesday eve
ming after the board adjourned, on
charge of being drunk when l put
up a $40 bond, just double the Gus
tomary requirements for such
charge. And in order to be at my
post of duty at o'clock, | forfeited
the bond. Then Immediately after
he struck me in the commissioners
room while we were in session. He
at once ordered another warrant,
charging me with being drunk with
instructions not to accept less than
800 bond. So l put it up. Still
had not seen nor smelt whisky since
Saturday before noon, Nov. 90. And
was told by good authority that
he proceeded to circulate a petition
to have me removed from Office,
while just after the wet or dry cleo
ton complaint was made against me

that knew Mr.. Robertson we'll that
il would be we'll for me to sign
bill for strawing the Robertson
road. But l never did sign it be-
cause the strawing was done out of

1t is a common talk everywhere
that Mr.. Robertson has for long
past had things done in district No.

done, and it looks true when he
strawed this road of his before it
had been allowed by the commits

removed. Respectfully,

County Commissioner
