SPRIG A BIG SURPRISE.
Mr, C-1!, Mussenburg Announces Him
self a Candidate for County
Treasurer.
IS AN UNKNOWN OFFICE IN HIDE
The County Has Been Without s T^esi-
artr Twjnlj-lly* Yean, Although,
According to Mr* Mmnnburg, .
It !■ KntUled to One*
Considerable surprise was manifested
yesterday over the appearance of a
ticket for the county election to be
tae’.d on January 2, containing^ tho
names cf all the Democratic nominees
for county offices, hut with nho pome
of C. B. 'Mjsseuburg for county treas
urer,
County treasurer for Bibb county I*
an unknown office 'to Jho people of the
county, and everybody except a very
four intimalte friends of Mr. Massen-
berg 'Who saw tlie tlckat were at x loss
to know iwhat such a ticket mettnt.
Knowing that Bbb had not had a
treasurer,^teioitvn -and rcoognized as
Mich, for ithe-dM-st ttvedty yeurs, « Tel-
egraiph w®orteff,-toto whose bands one
of the tickets hatfbeen placed, Bought
Mr. 'Mtifisenberg and .asked aim tout
"Yes, I tan a candidate fo^oufrty
treusufer,” said Mr. Msawmbrirgr- "as
you will see by thl» ticket.” || ( -
“But Is there such an office, and if
so why lias not some one been filling
It?" the reporter asked.
“Yes, there is such on office, but I
don’t suppose anybody has thought
about running for It. or really knew
of tt. You see,-about twenty yearn ago
the legrslature. tn creating the board
of county commissioners abolished the
office of treasurer and made the coro-
niiHBtoners treasurer. This wus dearly
unconatlutlnal. as the legislature had
no snore right to abolish the office of
treasurer limn tt has to abolish the
office of governor.’’
"I suppose you have taken legal ad
vice," said the reporter.
"Yes; 1 huvv consulted with tiyo-rif
tho beslt lawyers to the etty, and Khvy
way there la no .possible doubt about
lil-.o unconsi:*tuttanaltey of tlln; amt of
the legtaluUire tm mbolllshlng the office."
Furolrar conversatlcu with Mr.'-AIas-
HKVbmlg brought out the fact bhat lie
intended Ito cun for treasurer t.vo y-viro
ago, but decided to wait uiv.il this ytur.
He s.itld ttaat the county was cltUriv
ci,lulled Ito such an offlou and he might
a* well till h as unybody, TEio ufltoe !s
ono of fees, and ,«ie trdiisufer SKSam-
j/eHod to igtoe u ibond. The duties of
Iho .treasurer uine to pay out all county
money* on orders from the cctmnibBlon-
eix, or, to other words, Ito met os cash
ier of nhi) ciaunty.
The last Incumbent of the office was
A. W, Gibson. After he went out of of
fice the county commissioners took charge
und since then have acted as treasurer.
Whether tho county commissioners will
aurrender the office to Mr. Massenburg
tr h* Is elected is not yet known, and a
complicated legal tight may grow out of
tho matter. At any rsto, further develop
ments will bo awaited with Interest.
As Mr. Mossanburg was not tn the pri
mary for County officers the Kars nre
down fo a* many candidates os desire to
enter tho rac* for treasure, but so far
as known no one else has any Intention
of unninc far tho office. Mr. Mussenburg
was for n number of year* lax collector
of the county and It was generally con
ceded that ho had tho office as long as
he wanted It. but about six yean ago ho
declined to bo re-elected, lie is a man
who has Iho respect and confidence of the
people and served the county faithfully
when In office.
