26 YEARS 9LD.-We sa-'v a tmie
ot cotton on Saturday wLich %, as 26
years old. It belonzed to Mr. Ilenry
Leitner, and is still his. lie could
have sold it at one time for ;0 cents
per pr-und. Even at ;imple interest
(10 per cent) that bale would be worth
$351 now. We won't count it at com
pound interest, iL would be worth too
much money.

IE RlIDGEWAY DISPENSARY MUDl
DLE.
It has bae~u known to a grei.t many
for a long time that the dispensary at
idgeway was in a miudle, and we
ee requested by parties interested
n the town's share of the profits to
ithhold the publication of such facts
as we knew for fear that publication
at that time ight prejudice Governor
vans anid the town might have diffi
ulty i ccovering its share of tihe
ril s which properly belo:sg to it.
n accont of this -rcquiest we were
uwpuraistic enough to accede to the
equest. Bt~ the matter is in the
ns; of the grand jury and our publi
cation will in -no way affect either
tcrst of town or county. The facets .
are abo-ut is follows: t1
On tile day that Pope and Tii4man I
spoke at Ridgewa , in August 1894, ~
the dispenser, Ri. D. Lewis, was sick r
in bed; tile dispensary being closed,
overnor Tillmnan, at the request of
ne r'~ h-is friends from this county,
cnt Lewis a written order to open up.1
ewis turned his key over to Mr.i
Iynes, his 'former clerk, with in
structions to open the place. Hlaynes ~
opened and it was not long before the tl
men got pretty drunk and liquor was
>fd without any money being col
lected. Dr. Linder notified Lewis
that he (Lewis) was ruined, that the o
iuor was being carried away with-.
ut being ac.counted for. Mr. Lewis lE
hou sent Haynes word to close the
Lc at once, but IIaynes replied that
it would take a batalion of United
States troops to put them out. There
were differenut members of the military S
ccm;>anys and others there, and they
would lis:en to nothing. When
Lewi's b ooks were examined again I
he were found to be short about
53. The ma:ter was not attempted
to be adjusted until about April, we o
are informed. Tbc beard of control t]
n~ re asked by Lewis to sue him in
re that he m':ght make a proper ti
lowng, but that he was not re
sposible and would not pay the loss
unless a jury said he must. Though~
this was a proper matter for the board
to decide according to law, they would
not act in tihe matter until Governor
Evans had been-comutted.
[We were informed that Lyles and
Rutland, of the board of control, were
in tie dispensary at the time it was
eing emptied without pay, but have
been informed since that Lyles was not
bi tere at the time ard that he will
ubstantiate this at the proper time.]
The tmauer was then ha:uded Gov.
Evans and he was fully aware that th2
dispensary was short $58S, and he way
also mformned as to the manner in~
wlch the shurtag:e occurri d, was to:d,
so it was s:a:ed to us. that the b)oys
got it and it would be all juiht. With
all thse lighits before him hec charged
that 858 to the profit aceount of town
and county, thus depiving Rlidgeway
and Fairfield County out of $58, thus
making the book bailance.
The town of Ridgeway put its
claim in the hands of its attorney and
lie apealed to the county board for
the town's share cf this mecy which
is baf. But by ai vo-eof two to one
Evans' actioi?, Lyles and Iiagins vol
ng in favor znd Tennant voting not t
;ustain. Ru-land was no, a membei
it Iihft timle.
- We are ieliably iiforicd that Gov
Evai was asked about bringing ti.
natcr bef,re a Fairfield grand jury
LId s:.id, "No, wait for an official ex
lin!a-io: by an expert." After si
0.ig a time the expe t came a Gov
Evaznz had promised. The matter o
he shortage was known to Gov. Evan
wud it is presumed as a matter o
>ourse that the expert knew there wa
i shortage when he came for the ex
press purpcse of looking it up. Ye
he public are not any the wiser. I
s about two months since the expcr
nade his report, and yet neither tL
rand jury nor tbe solicitor have re
eived any notice from the Governo
,n spi:c of the facts above stated.
We are informed that the plan pro
>osed to settle it is to have the Stat
)oard refund the $58 to the count:
oard. This will of course put thi
>ooks straight in this county and wil
;ive back to the county and Ridgewai
heir own, but it will be paying for i
lebau-h out of S!a'c fauds, which ij
miawful, and will be a misappropria
ion of public funds wheneVcr it i!
lowe.
