Mebane, N, C., Jan. 12. 1911 Editor l^ispatclr, I am glad to see that you are favorin|2- the siiilary system for our County officers so strongly, and am disappointed that our oth er county papers, who usually are so pirogressive in our county affairs, and I hope yet that every paper in the county will take up tWs measure and advocate it, as it means so much for our county. There is no question in the world liut it would mean a sav ingtotlietax payers of Alamance of $4,000 to $5,000 annually. If the Nev/s, Gleaner and I^der will come out editorially in favor of the measure there will be no question as to its passage. I am just in receipt of a letter from the Register of Diseds of Buncombe county, one of the largest counties in the State, in which he states the following salaries paid by Buncombe coun ty: Sberiff $^100, two Deputy Sheriff’s $80 per month each; Clerk of Courts J2,400, first dep uty $71) per month, second and third icteputies $40 per inotnth each. Register of Deeds, $2,100 first deputy $50 per month, sec ond and third deputies $40 per month., Auditor $1,.500. With an auditor, which it is not necessi3,ry for Alamance, and with eight deputies and large salaries;, Buncombe county saves to its tax payers several thous and dollars annually. With fair and liberal, but not extravagant salaries for Sheriff, Register of Dtjeds, Clerk of Court and Treasurer, with a clerk to the f rst three officers, it means $5,000 annually saved to the tax payers, of Alamance county. Will we do it? I vote yes. W. E. White. WILL DRAIN LAKE Raleigh N. C.

News and Observer 14th. Raleigh is to have an sedition to its train service ov^er the train service over the Southern Railway, this by the putting on of a new train to and from Greensboro for daily service. The announcement of this new service was made yesterday by the North Carolina Corporation Commission, after a conference with Henry W. Miller, of Atlanta assistant to President Finley, of the Southern Railway, who spent yesterday here. The Commission had written to President Finley, of the need of a new train, that the trains at the present in ser vice were such as to niake a con gestion in passenger traffiic, and that a better service wfas deman ded by the travehng public. The purpose of the Cbmmissioi) was to obtain train service bet ween Goldsboro and Greensbora but in the conference It was ur ged by Mr. Miller that the con gestion in traffic was between Raleigh and Grecnsbors, and it was agreed that a trial of the service would be made with trains daily each wayl from Ra leigh to Greensboro. |If the ser vice does not prove sjatisfactory the Commission will ask that it be extended to Goldsporo. The new train service is to^ be more than local, as is the night train out of Raleigh to Greens boro, there will be a Pullman with Washington, D. C., as its temi- nus. The new train service is to go into effect in about two weeks and the tentative schedule is as follows for the daily service: Leave Grecinsboro at 7:00 or 7:30 a. m., and reach Raleigh at 10:00 or 10:30 a. m. Leave Raleigh at 7:00 p. m. and reach Greens boro at 10::)0 p. m. Each train is to have a Pullman servi^ and, on the train which leaves here at 7:00 p. m. there will be connec tion in Greensboro, with about an hour's wait for W;^hington, the Pullman to reach Washini^on at 8:00 o’clock next morning. At Greensboro there will also be a connection for the New York. The train out of Washington will leave at 8 p. m., and will bring passengers through on the Pullman which leaves Greensboro at 7 or 7:30 a. m. next morning, the train reaching Raleigh at 10 or 10:30 a. m. As to Goldsboro and points to Selma, the train service of the Atlantic Coast Line is held as giving schedules for Wilmington and New York. There is now pending in the Senate a bill introduced by Major JohnW. Graham for an extra train between Goldsboro in order to relieve the congestion on the line. The train when the South ern now agrees to put on is for the purpose of relieving the con dition of which complaint has been made. W. L LL^yd b Stmck m the Head by an Ash Pan Handle of Locomotive.

C., Jan. 16. Editor State Dispatch: I am glad to note that you are urging the tax payers of Ala mance to petition the Legislature to put our County officers on sal aries. I approve of it heartily, and believe that we should be as progressive as our neighboring Counties. I feel sure that our able young Representative, Mr. Long, will do what ever the peo ple want, he stated here in his speech just before the electiori, that he would use his best efforts to pass the laws that the people of Alamance wanted. I vote yes and herewith enclose my vote. I think that every Tax Payer should vote one way or the other, I don’t see how any one can op pose this reform, except an office holder or a protective office hold er. Push it along.
