in Ward county again when he intro
duced this bill. Lee very carefully fig
ured out a law which on its face pur-'
ports to be in the interest Of the tax
payers. However, the sheriff is still
allowed mileage and livery and salary
in lieu of fees. The amounts actually
received by the sheriff under this law
are the same as the old and as the
county decreases in population and lit
igation becomes less the bill fostered
by Lee will give the Sheriff more sal
ary and more compensation than un-
der the old law.
We intended publishing in this issue
af1idavits of tax payers, showing Lees
method of collecting delinquent taxes
but find we will not have room The
affidavits, however, will be published

pendent candidate for the Office Of
sheriff, published broadcast over the
county that the reason he could not
support the regular Republican NOM
inee (Sorenson) was because of his
knowledge of the fact that Sorenson
was Lee candidate, receiving his
principal support from Lee, who
Swanson characterized as "pastmas-
ter CRATER"
We have heretofore stated Lee was
never entitled to collect livery or mile
age in adjusting the delinquent per-
sonal property taxes referred to. He
was entitled to collect One Dollar
($1.OO) for each receipt issued but I'M
der his contract with the county the
One Dollar was to be turned over to

were libelous, if untrue, and Lee could
have proceeded criminally against
both Mr.. Clark and Mr.. Swanson. He
could also have instituted civil suit
but the fact remains that he never did
and that he never made any attempt
to prosecute either Mr.. Clark or Mr..
Swanson.
AS we have heretofore stated we ex-
pect contradiction of the facts publish
ed in the last issue of this paper but
we believe that Lees conduct in Office
is sufficiently well known to render
non-effective any refutation he may
make.

In last weeks issue we called atten-
ton to the fact that Lee was paid $62,-
166.78 for services as sheriff during
his two terms Of Office. These figures
do not take into consideration other
moneys paid to him by various attor-
neys throughout this judicial district.
We also stated that a portion Of the
moneys charged by Lee for services
were illegal.
We believe that Lee attempted to
contradict the statements made in the
last issue of this paper and that ne
will also deny that he collected illegal
fees from farmers when adjusting de-
linquent personal property taxes.

MUCH COTTON IS RUINED
BY rain In SUMTER
Hundreds of Bales Destroyed by Re-
cent Rain and WindstOrms.

The season of continued rain, pre-
vailing here during the past ten days,
will result in the destruction of many
hundred bales cotton in Sumter county
alone. The cotton is beaten from the
open boil and, lying in the soft mud
of the drenched fields, it quickly
sprouts and spoils. One farmer in
Americas reported today an estimated
loss of at least fifteen bales in one
field of 125 acres, from which he
has not been able to get pound of
cotton picked thus far.
