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:
