STATEMENT FROM JUDGE C. C.
BLEDSOE.

In answer to the charge that the
law was enforce to permit the County
Court to appropriate money to pay
The Farm Advisor will say: that a
Committee from the Commercial Club
came before the Court at the Febru-
airy Term asking an appropriation to
support the Farm Advisor and at that
time there was no law to permit the
Court to make any such appropria-
ton, and not till June the 23rd, fol-
lowing did the law go into effect. The
Contract was made with the Farm
Advisor by the Commercial Club and
entered into for 3 years before there
was any law allowing the County
Court to lend any assistance.
