Editor The Burlington Dispatch:
Mr. Editor, I am sending you one
dollar to renew my subscription to
your valuable paper, I am becoming
more and more interested in yeur .f-
fcrts to have Our county officials pub
lish a statement showing how. our
county affairs are being managed, es
pecially the SEiving to our tax payers
by the adoption of the salary system
as against the fee system, my hus
band when he was alive, always said
you was the straightest man in poli
tics in tiie county and could be relied
upon to te!i the truth and stand by it,
but my father who was a strong Dein-
oera always said you were too strong
a Republican to be depended upon
and of course . we children had to
share the views of our parents, but
since I have had to depend upon my
own resources and pay rhy own taxes
with the help of two small boys, 1
have been watching and thinking -And
I find you are nearly always right, and
that you stand up for the laboi-ing
people and this course ifils challenged
my admiration and respect for you.
I am too poor to help otherwise but
if I can raise the money I am going
to take your paper, this is the only
way I know to encourage you in your
efforts in our behalf, keep up :he
brave fight there are other widows
and orphans who will appreciate your
help as well as myself. I will send
another dollar just as scx)n as I ean
fpare it, with best wishes for your
success I am,
Respectfully,
A WIDOW.

The Twice-A-Week Dispatch:
Mr. Editor. I want to thank you
for the interest you are taking in cur
county affairs. I wish I were a man
so that I could help you. It seems
to me that our men are very dere-
lect in thfeir doty when they sit idly
by and see our county officials act as
they have been acting by refusing
to publish the saving to the county
by the salary system instead of the
fee system, I take a deep interest in
our county affairs «ad have been
proud in the past of oMr county of
ficials, but if they are going to refuse
to make a statement showing the sav
ing to the tax payers by the salary
system, then I for one am ashamed
of them and their kind. I like your
paper and think you are taking the
right stand in this matter .ind only
wish. I could help you in some way
but as I am paid ahead in .idvance
to your paper I know of no way I
can help you at present, but ! want to
assure you of my moral support and |
if later you need money witti which to
run your paper I vvill be glad to }>ay
again in advance.
With very best wishes I beg to re
main,
LADY TAX PAYER.
Gock Creek. N. C.
Mr. Editor:
I am sorry that I am not ; man so
that I might help you in ycur fight
for the tax payers of our county, but
I £m willing to do all I can, and that
is te ('ct father to continui to take
your paper. He sometimes says that
he is going to stop some of bis pa
pers and I expect he will do it some
day. I will see that yojis are not
ane of them. Keep up tho fight and
do the best you can.
