.KO|NER'S METHODS
AGAIN UNDER FIRE
Correspondence With State Audi
tor Moore May Be Made
Campaign Issue.

Correspondence between state Audi
tor of Public Accounts c. Lee Moore
and Commissioners of Agriculture
George w. koiner in regard to the
method Of issuing vouchers for the
funds of the Department Of Agricul-
ture may have a considerable bearing
on the pending contest between MIR.
koiner and J. Thompson Browr. cf
Bedford County. 1t WAS stated at the
headquarters of Mr.. Brown last night
that reference to the matter pub
lished yesterday afternoon had not
been issued from that office
1t appears that in August, 1912. Au-
ditor Moore wrote TO Commissioner
koiner requesting that his methods of
accounting be made more explicit, and
that vouchers be made to indicate the
purpose for which they are drawn. as
was and is the practice OF every other
State Department Mr.. koincr de-
INJURED and further correspondence
passed between the officials.
The methods Of Keeping the accounts
of the Department Of Agriculture were
made a sharply drawn issue in the
campaign between Mcssrs Brown and
koner four years ago. Reports of
expert accountants. in which the office
was sharply criticised, were published
ana were not answered
Auditor Took Matter Up.
1t Will be recalled that about four
years ago number OF vouchers were
found to be missing from the records
OF the Department OF Agriculture,
publication of which fact was made
at the time. AS the warrants drawn
on the auditor did not Indicate In
detail what the money was TO be used
for, the loss of these vouchers from
the Department of Agriculture leaves
the State without direct record OF
how the money was used. 1t was APP
parently to prevent any recurrence of
this that Auditor Moore, shortly after
assuming office. wrote Mr.. koiner ask
ing that he conform to the practice
OF other departments.
The funds OF the Department OF
Agriculture arc derived from tax
on fertilizer. collected by that Depart
ment and it has been contended that
the department. had absolute control
over this fund and could draw on II
without detailed statements OF eXpen-
dtures.
The Issue was a prominent one in
the campaign four years ago, and in
view of the stand taken by State Au-
dtor Moore for complete records of
1t may be that II will be
revived during the current campaign.
Mr.. Brown said last night that he
mad authorized no statement on the
subject, reporters who had sought to
interview him being referred TO OIL
cial files in the auditors office Mr.
Brown was unwilling to express any
in regard to the matter, beyond the
statement that he would make no
charge not susceptible of absolute and
complete proof

secure a first class location and

rection it is poised at such an angle
as to carry the shot safely over
his head, and an interesting exhi-
bition of noise and bluster is the
only result. The Negroes active

laid waste and almost destroyed
all opportunity, even for the limit

possible.
At the present and for a long

We should seek to overcome
this hurtful influence by having

object putting into the daily press
accounts of the progress of our
people in material, educational,
religious and social directions.

it is to give TO the white press day
