A case of considerable interest in
McIain county was the appeal of nor
ace Trabue Witherspoon OF purcell,
of c. f. Witherspoon & Son, cotton
exporters, Strong influence wds
brought to bear in behalf OF this ap-
plicant, who swore that he was not u
member of the firm except as sat
aried employe and that his wife, TO
whom he was married last Decemcei
was wholly dependent upon him for
support 7. II. Dwyer, banker; Robert
W. Murray, cotton dealer; Harry
Hammerly, attorney; Ray c. smith,
banker, and NJ Il. Humphrey, grain
dealer and miller, all of Chickasha,
wrote strong letters asking for With
erspoon's exemption.
Humphreys letter developed clash
between the exemption board of Nc
Lam county and Mr.. Humphrey who
is a member OF the exemption board
of Grady county. The McIain county
officials strongly resented Humph-
rey's action In Quitting into" this case,
as 1t was not in his Jurisdiction. They
filed letter with the district board,
| signed by G. q. Moore, chairman, Il.
I G. McCurdy, member. and Hugh
l'oone, secretary, in which they de-
clared they had given Witherspoon' s
case the closest attention. had called
| him before them and told him he was
not entitled to exemption. They in
dicated very strongly that they thot
| Humphrey should attend strictly to
the cases in his own county.
The record seemed to show that
while Witherspoon registered In Nc
Lain county he formerly lived in
| Chickasha. and that is the main head
quarters of the Witherspoon Cotton
company. Some months ago, how
ever, he went to McLain county and
which he placed In cultivation. He
| also owns half-interest In "A two
hundred-acre tract near Purcell, but
said he had not paid anything on It,
On account of the prominence OF
Witeherspoon's connections it is said
considerable feeling has been aroused
both In Grady and McLaln counties
over his possible exemption.
Must Go.
The district board settled the case
by denying the appeal and certify
| ing Witherspoon for service.
