“A cork leg is no end of a bore,”
said the man who lhnncd. “Just
think of it! I was at n dinner party
the other night and it was my
happy lot to have a most charming
damsel fall to my share at the feast.
Wo conversed most pleasantly
through the oysters and the soup,
but when the flak came on she be
came silent and seemed unaccount
ably embarrassed. To draw her
from this mood 1 redoubled my ef
forts to please, but in response she
only flushed and looked nngry.
Finally, interrupting me in the
midst of a little mot which I had
coniposed carefully while dressing
for the dinner, she said, sotto voce:
“ ‘I’ll thank yon to stop squeezing
my foot l”
“Imagine my embarrassment! I
had been treading upon her tooa
with my cork foot—of course with
out "knowing it. It is an annoying
thing to have to explain to a young
Indy at a social festivity. Neverthe
less I was forced to do so. She ac
cepted my apology and then pro
ceeded to injure my feelings by
giggling.”
Reply to Sheriff Morris’ Card.
Editou Nkw Eiia:—In your ed-,
itoriul December 12th, vou
spoke of some ext ravagance as to
paying bailiffs of this county.
Sheriff Morris says through the
columns of The New Era of, Jan.
2nd, 1908, that .the assertion is'
not time. I'liat means that you
or, myself have lied. 1 say that
the treasurer’s books vsMU slmw
that Sheriff Morris has been very
extravagant as to working and
paying bailiff’s. The (del citi
zens bf Inis.county remember
well that Henry Braswell and
and G. Al. LawYence, snenff’s,
would run our superior courts
with three or four nail ills, N >w
Mr. Morris works from seventeen
to twenty-live besides liimseii at
each term, 1’lie Clerk’s books
will, snow that at Aug. term,
11)01, that, me grand-jury hold
nine days and me traverse jury
six days. You will see wo just,
had six days court at tins Venn.
Sheriff Morris worked seventeen
bailiff’s and two helpers besidts
himself. They drew from sjtfi.00
to $ IS.00. J. K. Tibbitts uutlJ.
D. Treutliam put in twelve Oavs
and drew 8.00 each whim we
.fustlmd six days court. Mr, I).
T. Harris drew if 1.50 as juror mid
$10.1)0 as bailiff—making ten
days—when we only Imd six days
court; bis jury script is dated
Aug. 14th, and jiis bailiff script
Aug. loth. At February term
court, 1902, the grand-jury held
ten days and traverse jury seven
days. At this term Sheriff Mor-
J ris worked twenty-live, bailiff’s
and three helpers besides himself.^
they were paid from $1.50 to
$10.50. J. F. Tibbits—stiil lead
ing—putting in eleven days when
we just had seven 1 days court.
He worked eighteen bailiff’s, and
one helper at the last term of
court. .At Aug, term, 1001, and
Feb. term, 1002, the bailiff's and
helpers cost this 'county $8(50.00.
1 9 ill let the tax payers say
whether this is extravagance or
not - , HW
Mr. Morris had M. A. Haney,
a bail!! that Jives.in Polk county,
to come over here and arrest Air
Derrell Braswell when lie was
not a fugitive from justice.
Braswell was at home in his
house and, just lived six miles
from Dallas. 1 paid Haney $5.50
for this. I say this was not
rigid. A sheriff has no right to
draw pay out of the county treas
ury for arresting a person that
lives audio in his own county,
Then on Sept, 8th, 1902, I paid
M. A. Ilaiiey $14,08 for work in a
justice court trial at. Dallas be
tween the Fennell’s and Hide’s.
I say this was not rigid. L say
that a sheriff ought to ne one of
the “watch dogs” of. the county
trearury; but. it seems that. Sher
iff Morris has not used any dis
cretion about issuing script to
some parties in flits county.
There is one bailiff in this coun
ty that I have paid $02.50 old, of
the county treasury during Sher
iff Morris’ term. A county offi
cer is a public servant, and any
citizen lias a right to know or to
criticize his public acts. Sheriff
Morris drew those sixty-live bai
liff’s and helpers script and 1
paid them off and have thcih in
my possession.
Now 1 invite any citizen of
this county to examine the treav-
uver’s books and the vouchors 1
have paid off and see whether t
have stated anything but wlmt is
true. The records and public
papers will stand out to truth
when all that men say falls.
And I will say further, that-Sher
iff Morris Inis drawn out of the
county treasury $1157.09 during
ins term of office. The treasur
er’s books will show this to bo
true. -Mr. Morris will say that
some of hi8 bailiff’s worked day
and night. The supreme court
says in (I8tli Georgia reports “that
24 hours makes one day.” Our
jurors jtnow that when they are
hung upon a case two or three
days that they don’t got pay for
tnc night-. •
