           If the townships of Washington, Liberty
and Union had not succeeded in sustaining the suits they brought to prevent the
payment of enormous bills for alleged school supplies shipped into the
townships, the townships would have been bankrupted.  The individual who
sold the school supplies now says he is the controlling power of the Democratic
party in Shelby county; that he sways the board of county commissioners and that
he will control  Cherry  and  Barnes  if they
are elected.
