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. Sworn to and subscribed -varon Long before me This I7th day of Oct. 1901. 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.
