Rauiiow, July $7 Ex-Secretary J. L
aaney, of tba Board ef Agricaltare,
wtaagala awltaesa before the leglsla-
lire lavestlgating committees. He is
what to kaowa as a "star" wllaase, and
two snch shrewd business men and eloee
questioners as Senator Browa aad Rep
resentative Oaltla gathered some valua
ble Information from him.
The fusion Board of Agricaltare would
vote tor any sort of aa ".appropriation"
for one of the "faithful." J. C. L. Har
ris grew some $S,tO0 f0r his services aa
"general utility man," but It appears tbat
there wa always aa order ef the board
that be aboald have .the particular
amount The board atmply "blew In'
the funds. It had Ave fertilizer Inspec
tors, who, It to admitted, were not need
ed, but who were merely given "pie."
The further examination of ax-8ecre
tary Ramsey by the investigating com
mittee developed some very Interesting
He testified that J. C. L, Harris was paid
In two years $9,937 ss attorney of the
Board of Agriculture, and $448 for at
tending the board meetings. Last De
cember Harris was paid In advance $100
extra oa Hill K. King's motion to "look
arver the legislature." Ramsey said be
did not know whether Harris ever evea
appeared before the agricultural commit
tee ef the legislature. It -was farther
show a that Harris was actually paid for
his license to practice la the Buprem
Court of the United Btatee. The voucher
for this was for $118. One of Harris'
vouchers gave him four dsys' pay
member of the board $20 but paid hi
board for five days f 10. Oa this vouch.
er was also ene day's pay and one day's
board 18 for attending a meeting of
the executive committee. Ramsey
couldn't explain that pay for five days
when there was only four days' service,
He got pay for all trip aad expenses
He - charged this . extra. None of tb
attorneys did so.
It was shown tbat on some day th
board merely met and adjourned. ' Oa
ene occasion It devoted Its session to a
conference with the Governor,, who had
summoned It, The committee was un
able to find any verified expense account
for the holding of farmers' Institutes.
Ramsay admitted tbat be had audited
M. Allen's bill for $18 for buying carpets
and" cuspidors and Inspecting carpets
after the latter bad been laid. He ad
mitted that all this time Allen was a
clerk receiving $1,200 salary,
Jas. H. Young, colored, wa la June,
1897, en Harris' motion, elected inspect
ing clerk. Ramsay testlSed tbat Young
was never tent out to Inspect fertilisers
but that ha put in most of his time In
the office wrapping fertilizer' tax tags
and bulletins. For this be was paid ft,-
(00 salary. Young wa first elected for
two years ar at the pleasure of the board
bat at the next meeting a resolution wss
adopted, on motion of Hill E. King,
striking ent the words "or at the pli
are of the board." This was d-rae to
give Young a cinch on the office.
The examination of the minutes of the
board meetings developed the fact, that
A. Q. Holliday, then president of the
Agricultural and Mechanical College,
iu allowed at the last December meet
ing $25 monthly as chairman of the ex
periment station committee for each ser
vices since he began to discharge these
duties.! It wss found that while the. old
and new Board of Agricaltare, which
met in April, adjourned to meet May 29,
yet the old board met May 84th, at the
call of J. C. U narria, chairman of the
executive committee, and these members
drew two days pay on the 25th.
There were fourteen fertilizer Inspec
tor oa duty this year from January 1st
to May 15th. Hill E King and J
