THE JOHNSTONIAN—SUN, SELMA, N. C. THURSDAY, OCT. \ 30, 1930. u '#■ •f! , •* 'tm Mrs. Sarah HowelFsPen- sion Check Selma, N. C., Oct. 29, 1930. Editor Johnstonian-Sun: Please allow space in your paper to correct a statement appearing in The Smithfield Herald October 28, 1930, stating in big headlines as fol lows: “Republicans Demand Pen sion Check Widow Confederate Vet eran.” Mr. Editor, there has never been a baser falsehood perpetrataed by anyone than the above statement, and the person making said state ment had only one motive in view, and that is to slander the board of county commissioners with the hope of getting people confused and there by get votes for the Democratic ticket on November the 4th. Now, Mr. Editor,, the facts in the rase are as follows: On the first Monday in June, if I remember cor rectly, Mrs. D. J. Thurston, County Welfare Agent, came before the board and stated that Mrs. Sarah Howell and another lady which, I think, is her daughter, were in very bad circumstanoes, Mrs. Howell, be ing sick and the other lady who lived with her was not physically able to care for her, and that there was no man living in the house with them. Mrs. Thurston further stated that these ladies were not absolute paup ers;, but were unable to care for themselves and that they wanted ta bo admitted to the county home; that they would receive a pension cheek and that they had offered, if admitted to- the county home, to turn over same to the county to help pay their expenses. Mrs. Thurston was asked, as she always is asked about such cases, what she would recom mend in the case. She said she would recommend that they be admitted and allowed to turn over what they had to the county, which was ordered on her recommendation. At the next meeting- of the board, Mrs. Thurston and one of the ladies came before ■the board. Mrs. Thurston had the money and offered it to the chair- but the chairman refused to take it, advising Mrs. Thurston to pay any debt that the ladie-s might Bwe: and if there was any left to turn same over to the county treks ,urer, which she did, and got a re teipt for same. I think Mrs. Thurs- tom acted in good faith and I meant 310 reflection by referring to her, but she handled the whole trans- .action and only asked the board . flf commissioners to approve what shtf recommended, and that is all the boaarf; had to do with the case. As Ice demanding that the money be tumeef over to the county, I again say that the person making that statement is an infernal liar of the basest kind and I have no apologies to make for- the statement, and 1 dare him, her, or them to prove it. Now, Mr. Editor-, if you know of any way of putting it .any stronger, . you have my permission to. do so. There are several other attacks 'Made in the issue of The Herald wtdde space will not permit me to discuss, therefore I will state here that there is not a cintilla of truth in She whole attack and same was made tor the purpose above stated. J. T. CREECH, A Member of Board of County Commissi'oraers. ”I THINK Cardui is a wonderful tnedicine, for I improved greatly after faking it,” says Mrs. A. W. English, of R. F. D. 4, Roanoke, Va. "When I was just a girl of 13, my mother gave this medi cine to me, and it did me a great deal of good. 1 was weak and run-down. After I had taken Cardui awhilo, I felt much better. "In 1924, my health was poor. I felt miserable, and hadn’t enough strength to do my house work. It took aU my willpower to keep up. I was pale and weak. "I got Cardui again and took it. My improvement was wonder ful. I can recommend Cardui to others, for my health was so ranch better after I had taken a caurse of the Cardui Home Treatment.” E-tM Sale of Land For Taxes By order of the Board of Town Commissioners of the Town of Selma, N.

Democrats Raise I amount of $2 00 reduc tiou. on the „ ~ i$l,000 valuation -which is the result 1 axes 1 OOjof conscientious endeavor of the I Board of Equalization coupled with jinuch ardent labor of the Board of County Commissioners in their ac- ;tivity and stand taken in interest of the taxpayers of Johnston County pertaining to the ^School Budget Ap- propriaticn. Quite a number of the citizens have expressed themselves favorably Princeton N. C., Oct. 22, 1930, Mr. R. L. Fitzgerald, Smlthfiisld, N. C. To whom it May Concern: In 1927 I listed my taxes with a Democrat list taker. I listed 3 mules; one at one hundred dollars and the 2 mules at seventy-five dol lars each. One car that I g'ive | to me along the line and as you. J5.15.00 for and run it for 3 years, | have expressed yourseferes in your I listed it at J375.00.

MICRO TOWNSHIP (Continued from seventh page) each. been raised from $375.00 to- 5f>0.00, $35.00 more for the car than I gave for it 3 years prior, I went to the Democratic Board of County Com missioners .about raising the valua- ti.n on my personal property. Mr. Paul Grady, the attorney for the board said “that he did not believe that I would work a plug mule or ride in a car that would cost less than a thousand dollars.” Treated i*e as though I had sworn to a lie about the value of my property and I had to pay the taxes at their price. The taxes on the 110 acre farm 16 years ago was $12.43, 15 years ago I bought 65 acres of said tract. In 1928 my taxes on the 55 acres had been raised by the Democrat ap praisers to $110.00. My land to day will not sell for what they val ued it at for_ taxes. I am voting for the man that will gdve us re lief. As ever, JOHN GOFF. P. S.—Since they have had so much to say in the Smithfield Her ald about what the Republicans have done about taxes, I take this oc casion to suggest that you have my letter published as I want my fel low citizens to see how I feel about the matter and how I have been treated by the former Democratic Administration. commend us in our behavior toward fair play, but of course in express ing themselves veraWy they were not very bold as you in having ex pressed yourself in writing. I am thoroughly convinced that no Board of Commissioners have set around an executive table which have in their activities shown themselves quite so interested in the sorely ere designed to' retardT their piL gress) rolled in their pathway as our Board has experienced.
