A few years ago, when Editor Clark of the Journal, was affiliating with the “measley pops” and showing up some of the “peculiar business enterprise” of Mr. Marshall of the Apologist, (he don’t do that any more) among other things Mr. Clark said that the Apologist man “padded” his legate in an outrageous manner and thereby greatly overcharged for this class of work the already extravagant price allowed by law. The law expressly states that no “padding” or devices for increasing the space taken up by legal matter shall be used, and yet this saintly individual goes right ahead with his “padding,” and, as is shown by the records, has collected pay for the same. By this system he has no doubt received several thousand dollars to which he was not entitled and for which absolutely no service whatever rendered, and has set an example for “padding” legate that has very likely been copied by numerous newspapers in this section of the state, but we have observed none that have indulged in this fascinating sport of getting something for nothing to such an extent or in so brazen a manner as our amiable friend of the Apologist. It will thus be seen that the effects of evil practices are often far-reaching, and many a county, city, corporation and individual has been mulcted of dollars •without number through “pa4ded” legate. *- To illustrate how “padding” is done and to show that Bro. Clark was telling the truth (he was then in different company) when he spoke of “padded legate,” and that this same skin game still goes on with St. George, we have copied one of .the Apologist’s non-resident notices, published last March, setting it as nearly the same as possible and occupying exactly the snme space. We also sot up the same identical nolice to the right in the manner prescribed by law, i. e. without padding. The difference represented by the blank space cost somebody $4.00, and the records in-the county clerk’s office disclose the fact that this four dollar “overcharge”—we’ll be charitable and call it by that name—is payable to G. E. Marshall, that honorable gentleman having filed a claim for padding and all. {THE Democrat will devote considerable attention to “padded learals." “overcharges.” etc., during the next few weeks, A new “legal” will appear In each issue, and we would respectfully ask the reader to ponder over the disclosures presented. Perhaps the question of why au opposition newspaper is not wanted in Jasper county by certain parties will then be easier to solve.) . C’“ • * , W’ -Vr •
