had shown favoritism to A. III. Hayward,
his son-in-law. in cases involving fees.
Judge Speer sprang to his feet and ex-
claimed:
Il have been DETAINED as no other
judge ever was l ask this committee to
see TO it that all the facts are brought
out. and that the public may under
stand"

AT the afternoon session George r
White, marshal in Judge Speer's court fol

ever had instructed him to keep a jur,
walking SO that a mistrial might be or
dered. Testimony to this effect had previ

Southern Veterans :
To Ask Congress to
Return Cotton Tax

GRIFFIN, Jan. 22.-The Spalding
County Camp of Confederate Veter-
ans has just started a movement in
which the cooperation of all other
camps of veterans in the State is
sought to secure the return of taxes
levied on cotton in the Southern
States from july, 1862, to March,
1858.
The veterans declare the tax levied
was held unconstitutional by the
United States Supreme Court and its
collection stopped. Now they say
justice demands that the taxes, with
fair rate of interest, be returned to
the several States. Petitions will be
sent to Congress to pass laws to this
effect The sum of taxes collected as
declared by the veterans is $6S,072,
SSS.99.
