Mr. Editor: I de-iire to thank you for your efforts to secure a statement of how the salary system is working. I have hear^ this matter discussed now for sometime and all my neighbors are a::xious to know the saving to the county by the salary system. I do i!Ot agree with all that your paper advocates but I am with you upon this proposition, and if you can se cure the publication of this statement 1 may be with you farther, we all want honest clean govei-.iment and men that will conduct our affairs in this manner, we have been fortunate in the selection of our county offiuer.s, but it looks like there is a nigger in the wood-pile somewhere now. Agait\ thanking you for your efforts and wishing you success, I am, DMEOCRATIC TAX “AYER. Elon College, N. G. The Dispatch: I hope you may be successful in se curing a statement as to how the sal ary and fee system is working, as for me and my two boys we want to know what is being done with the iwoney what they are saving, if they are saving any, and if they are not saving any we want to know it. Our crops are short this year and taxes are hard to pay. We farmers are im posed upon any way and pay more taxes than are our justly due. If ycur paper can .«ave us anything we are with you, but we are afraid that they will not pay much attention to you. ! heard one say the other day that he did not see why you Repubii- cans wanted to know about this thing as he allowed you did not pay much taxes no how, but I told him the the feilnw who paid a dollar had as sfood right to know these things as the fel low who paid ten dollars, but he pre tended he could not see it that w.-».y. | the This fellow always wants me to vote i cu vir.tv Graham, K.

We all want to xnow how much we are saving, aiid if' the of ficers we have not will not publish the statement, then I am for another set of officers.

TAX PAYER. .\ltamahaw Route 2. The Dispatch: I am sending you by my neighbor Mr a .dollar for re newal to j’our paper, I had thought tf stopping it, but cannot quit a pa per that is trying so hard to protect the tax payers of Alamance County. Unless this statement is published and that speedily there will be something doing in -\lamance county politics. The good people of this county will not stand for this secrecy much long er. Wishing you success I beg to re main, A FRIENDLY DEJIOCR-Vl'. —0— Swepsonville, N. C., -August 17, 201 J. Editor Republican Paper: As I have not seen iTeUCu irom this section about the salary sj’stem, will say I want to see how much we are saving, and hope you can make them how it. We people down here who have been voting the Democratic ticket, when a majority of our neigh bors are the other way, it makes us feel bad to have our county officers act in this way. I for one cannot un derstand why they would do this. .411 hcnest men want to know about this, and all honest men ought to want us to know about it. Unless our officers will furnish the information as called for, I think I will join my neighbors and vote with them. It will be hard to desert my party after 32 years of lojalty but I cannot stand for such actions as our officials are now giving us. Wishing you success in your un dertaking and thanking you in be- hr.lf of all tax payers I am. A WAVERING DEMOCRAT. The No, 11 James Oliver Sulky PloW-The best suiky plow you can buy. The plow and driver are carried along, not dragged. •A We want y ou to be carried. Come in \A and let us show you all the good points on this piow and you will be a cent, we do' not tno* it. Our coun ty, officers said at the time that the salaries were too small, that they could no live upon them, but' tbif must have changsd their iQiatls stnce that time. I -vres donbtful of the workings of the salary aystcai at the time, but .like many others thought if we could effect any saving 1 was for ,it. If we had have left the fee .=ys- tem like it was there would not hr.ve been any statement to make, ^nd we would not have been interest^ how- much they are making,, but since we have adopted the salary system I went to know how it is working and am willing to lend you my moral sup port in trying to get at the true v.-zrU- ings of the system. It is useless for me to say keep up the fight. I knoxv you will do that but I will say that I heartily am in accord with your efforts in thisi direction along the jine.) ybu are Jiuifsuing. Enclosed find fifty cents for renewal of my sub scription. ■ ■ ' . A WILSON DEMOCRAT, —o— Graham, Jv. C., .August IT. The Buriingtoii Dispatch: I am a Democrat but I want to know how much we arc saving in the salarj’ system. I feel that you are ooing a great thing for the farnisr tax payers in this fight.
