GEORGIA—Decatur county.
Personally appeared Aaron Long who
upon being duly sworn deposes and says
that he is tax receiver ot Decatur coun
ty aud that Powell Bros, leturued their
property for taxational the rate of $2.25
per acre which amounts to $1,899. That
the entry on the books of only $560 is a
mistake made by the clerk in my office.
Deponent further swearing says that
John E. Donalsou retuiped his property
at the rate of One Dollar per acre.

C. W, Wimbetly, Clerk S. O.
If Mr. Donalson in his letter publish
ed in the last issue of the Search-Light,
refers to me as an assistant Witness, I
have this to say: I was called in to tes
tify. Mr. Doualson himself telephoning
me that they wanted me for that pur
pose. 1 testified to the truth. I have
no apologies to make and I am person
ally responsible for what I said. We
have reached a nice stage, when gentle-
meu called upon to testify in a judicial
proceeding must be assailed and con*
temptiously referred to as an assistant
witness by a lawyer simply because the
railroad company he represents was un
der the evidence made to pay its just
proportion of the taxes. 1 am not an
enemy of the G. F. & A. By. Co., I
have no doubt but that I have shipped
more goods over it than any merchant
in Bainbridge, but the lawver of this
railroad corpoiation is not likely to make
mauy friends for the road by rushing
into .print to vent his spleen against hon
orable men because of his defeat.
