I stated, which appeared in this
week’s Leader.) ‘ ‘ lam informed
that the bill was drawn fixi-ngthe
salary of the County officers with
the provision that it would not
affect his commissions on the
taxes during this term.”
I want to correct this as I am
in error, and should have stated.
“During this year or for the
taxes of 1912.'’
I ask you to please publish
this letter as I have through an
error misquoted Mr. Charles F.

tinendment to
tion that it was understood and
agreed with ail the parties who
were responsible for this bill
that the sheriff was not to be
paid any commissions after his
salary went into effect, and I still
content that it is an injustice to
the tax payers of Alamance Coun

I am informed that the fees
turned into the County Treasury
for the mo7>,th of December from
the sheriff’s office amount to only
about $10.00, and the County
paid to the sheriff and bis deputy
