THE FRANKLIN TIMES A->. JOKIMX, ?-*? - ?aths M ? U?? S ASSOCIATION Richard. Croker, the one time Ta.ni ?UJ Boa*, died at his hnme_in lr?- j land the past week. The primary a drawing near and as jet we hare ??? bo pressara brought to hear on the Legislative candidates to Kake plain their stand on certain public qnetrtcna Mr. A. P. Strickland, of aear Hick cry Rock, and a resident of Loulibui tojkddp, wishes as to call attention to Che tact that he Is not Use Axtiuw Strickland that I* running for County ?at is the man of the Cypress Creek town thlp. It is being suggested tint the Ctmn ty Commissioners let each ot the County offices oat to the lowest bid der on next Monday, requiring the sac oessful bidder, ot coarse, to gtve m sat isfactory bond for the faithful perform uce of the duties of the office. The advocate* ot this plan say that even though it might not be legal it would result in a big saving for the County. The County Commissioners are re ceiving lastly deeerred congratula tions for their actions in ordering the collection of penalties on taxes dis continued and the return of those collected- We never hare though: the law constitutional, and the best excuse we hare ever seen for Its ex istence is to delay the collection of taxes. There is a time m: for the ImI settlement for the collection o(, taxes and eiei J body shoold be requir ed to settle by that time or foreclose. The penalty is only a system of loan ing money by the Ctounty at excessive interest. Those citizens who are so eager to tear down the entire structure of our government in order to satisfy an unwholesome desre to save a few dol lars in taxes forget the fact, when they are so urgent in their demands on candidates, that there is a large ?umber of people in the county who pre willing to pay a little extra tax to continue to go forward, and have no desire to lump an honest obligation. Although this class is saying little it h a power that the candidates can well take into consideration. Right will eventually prevail, even though it may be forced to the rear for awhile. The merchants, and the people in directly, of Franklin County should el ow their appreciations for the ac tions ot the Board of Commissioners when on Monday they refused to low er the prohibitive license on paddlers tc- let In a class of people who ride through a community taking advan tage of an uninformed public and dodging the jest taxes on their busi ness. They took the position that no man should be allowed to enter the County and take business, that the merchants, who pay taxes for the sup port of the government, are entitled to, without contributing a reasonable *Ti to the public treasury.
