Judge Harris Denounces Charges.
Editor of The Weekly:
Please allow me space in your
columns to deny emphatically
reports which are being circulated
concerning me and of which I
have just heard.
Designing politicians are charg
ing that I am responsible for the
Tax Collector’s obeying the law
this year in closing the tax books
last Tuesday night:
Nothing is further from the truth,
for I requested of him and some
of his bondsmen and insisted that
he remain in his office at the court
house the remainder of the week.
Those who are circulating such
reports about me know, or have
perfect opportunity to know, that
they are lies of the whole cloth,
which I do not believe the fair
minded citizens of the county will
believe. Yours respectfully,
A. G. Harris, Ordinary.
