TARWATER MAKES. STATEMENT ABOUT. RECENT TESTIMONY.
Was Not With Crowd at Pat ton Junction When the
 Alder Shooting
 Took Place
To the Editor Of The Age Herald;

To the Editor of The Age Herald
 In your publication of September [. 1921, reporting the trial of Char ley Allen at Jasper, it is stated that H. NJ Tarwater and two other wit nesses whose names are given, tes- tified in said case. That:
 "Tarwater stated that he had ar-i before the shooting. He swore that the Adler party did not fire the first shots, but that they came from house and a corn field"
 While the initials in said report are given as H. M, 1t evidently has reference to the undersigned, w Fl Tarwater, as l was the only witness to testify In said case by the name of Tarwater I did not testify to a single fact reported in said article, and there is no truth in the article concerning me, except that I did tes- tify in the case and have heretofore been a deputy sheriff.
 The facts testified to by me- so far as relevant at the present time, are that on the morning of the day the shooting took place in the aft ernoon I had arrested a negro near Patton Junction and one of the other deputies had arrested another negro. both of these negroes being charged with having shot negro the night before the Adler shooting We hal taken these two negroes before justice of the peace at the office of the company at Patton, which is something like three-fourths of mile from Patton Junction. At the time Mir Adler and the crowd went down to Patton Junction l was left at the office at Patton in charge of said two negroes I did not go with MT. Adler and the crowd that went down to Patton Junction at the time the shooting took place, and was not present when the shooting did take place. but was as above stated at the office at Patton in charge of said negro prisoners. l did not tes- tify to anything that occurred at Patton Junction during the shooting, and could not have done so as l was not present.
 I testified as above stated by me in the trial against John Brand for killing Mr Adler. and stated there and have since so stated and at all times stated, l was not present when the shooting occurred and did not know what occurred during the shooting when Messrs. Adler and Edgil were killed. The report Of the official court stenoerapher will show l did not testify as quoted by you.
 The effect of the above article in your publication is to quote me In substance with swearing to some thing I did not swear to, and which if I had sworn to would have been false.
 Demand is hereby made that said statement be retracted in as promi- nent and public place or manner as said charge or matter so published in your said issue of September [, 1921, occupied. W. H. TARWATER.

HAYS EXREcTED 10 CIT ePIEv IN /
P0sTOFfiCEs "a
g. o. r. Leaders Believe They'll sect
Away VIM Cleanup.


Washington, March .9.--Will the or
der Of President Wilson, made March
81, 1917, placing the selection OF first,
second and third-class postmasters
under civil service, stand the pie
counter rush Of job-hungry Republi-
cans?
Indications are that 1t will not, that
the 1886 postoifices in those three
classes will be utilized to pay party
campaign obligations and strengthen
RepRblicaf reorganization machinery.
The postmaster-general, VIM. III.
Hays, who is also chairman OF the
Republican National Committee, so
far has given no statement OF his fu-
ture policy.
But party leaders believe the coun-
try is ready psychologically to sup
port and move that sets aside orders
of the Democratic regime.
No records are available to show
the party affiliations of postmasters
in the three higher classes OF Offices
today.
In view OF intimations by Republic
cans, however, that the Democrats
had not carried out the presidents
orders in good faith, the department
on February IL asked postmasters In
the upper classes to state their party
allegiance.
I'D TO March there were 2l03 an
swers. OF this number 1912 said they
were Democrats, 907 declared they
were Republicans, 50 listed them
selves as Independent, 10 as Prohibit
tionists, three as Socialists, 1919 said
they had no afiliation. Ten failed TO
state their party.
Eliminating the answers from tho
II southern states, where Democrats
might easily be expected TO predomi-
nate, the lineup was:
Republican SAG, Democrats 59S,
Independents 20, Prohibitionists .,
Socialists 3, without affiliations 80.
Even in the solid south" however,
the returns showed G.. o, y. post
masters in six Alabama Offices, five
In Arkansas, seven in Florida. five in
Kentucky, nine IN North Carolina, six
in Georgia, four IN Louisiana, III In
Texas. FIVE in Virginia, one in Mis-
sissippi and two in South Caroilna.
The pie-counter rush is particularly
strong toward the department to be
headed by Hays, as his position as
chairman OF the national committee
and manager OF the Harding campaign
has fitted him to know iust/whO did
and did not pull zealously for party
success during the campaign.
