GREENW1OOD STORIE ('LE ARED OF PROFITEERING ('lAlUGE Collector o' Intermnl Revenue Says fin. (idleit I Ilikinown to IIs Office. (From Gieenwood Index-Journal.) "For the past several days reports have come to Greenwood of a report that was going the rounds in adjoin ing towns of what was alleged to have been exposure of a Greenwood clothing merchant by an oflefial of the internal revenue department. In brief the story was that a man went into this Greenwood clothing store and bought a suit of clothes for $60.00. He then showed his badge, the lie went, as an official of the government and demanded the original invoice of the clothing. This showed that the clothes cost only $20.00. If thisi lie had any basis there would have been fur ther reports as to what next happen 0d to the merchant, but right there the story ends. Sensible people know there is nothing in it but reports continue to come in that the lie is being heard in all smaller towns around Green wood and there is evidently an effort being made to hurt the town's rapidly growing business. iMvery merchant in Greenwood is doing more business than ever and this business is coming from a larger and larger radius. It is Inconceivable that such a .baso slan der would be started in an effort to hurt this growing trade bt there are those who see Just such an effort in the story. In order to be able to deny it off Cially, fomer Governor ileyaward, Col lector of 'Internal Revenue, has writ ten to find out if there was anything whatever in the way of foundation for such a report. As was known before his reply came that there is nothing whatever in the way of such an ex .Ilerience of any of his men. His letter followNs: 'Mr. H.
