To the Lditor of The Robesonian. Acting under the supposition that public officers are the ser vants of the people," especially that part of the people who elected them to office, if they are responsible to the people for the faithful discharge of their duties, I would like to ask some questions through the columns of your paper and, perhaps, make some comments on the present situation, as I see it. Owing to a report, which had become public property, that the board of county commissioners and Sheriff G. B. McLeod were violating the laws in the dis charge of the duties of their offices, the conservative element of the Democratic party de manded relief, and during the last session of our General As sembly there was enacted a law creating the board of audit and finance, whose duty it was to audit and report on the condi tion, as they found it, of-the va rious officers of the county. How well this board discharged its duty is partly shown in its sev eral findings, as published, which can be seen by any one who cares to. Now it appears that the board of audit and fi nance, or a part of it, acting with part of the county commis sioners in settlement with ex- Sheriff Geo. B. McLeod, reversed part at least of its former find ings over which it had spent so much time, and it fs in regard to this final settlement that I would like to ask a few questions which I think as a citizen, a tax payer and as a Democrat I have a right to ask; and which I think at this time, when we are so soon to select men to represent us and to manage our county afiairs, will be of vital impor tance to every Democrat. In the first place, the board of audit and finanee should tell the people wherein was the mistake. Now. I am informed that there was an error in listing certain bank stock by the register of deeds which made up this differ ence referred to; which was indeed fortunate to get straight ened out, but what became of those items of interest the board of audit and finance had charged up to ex-Sheriff Geo. B. McLeod as shown in its report, on pages 10G and 107, for money belong ing to the county and used by him in his own business? If the board of audit and finance en tered into an agreement with any one to remit these items of iuterest I think its members, too, have failed in the discharge of their duty and I think in justice to ex-Sheriff McLeod, if they were in error as to these amounts, they should publish the same over their signatures. If ex Sheriff McLeod, as they say, used this money with the county borrowing money all the while to defray expenses; if the children were kept out of over .two thousand dollars money by his failure to settle the taxes, as Treasurer M. G. Mc Kenzie swore he did, as found on page 20 of the report of the board of audit and finance; if they found, as they report on page 25, that Sheriff McLeod owed over in history as the drawing board, a board that did not know what the law allowed them for services, therefore were a law unto themselves. I am in favor of a law placing our county commis sioners on a fair salary, a law so plain that the county attorney may understand its provisions, so they may be spared the charge of violating the laws. Now, as the time is fast ap proaching when the people com posing the Democratic party will be called on to select men for the various county officers, I think they should consider well the importance of nominating men who would uphold the laws as they found them. What could we expect from a representative in the next General Assembly, that had repeatedly violated the laws he had sworn to uphold! The Socialist party nominates a violator of law for President, endorsing his misdeeds. Will the Democratic party of Robe son county be found endorsing the misdeeds of her officers? I think not. Now, I wish to be understood that this no personal matter with me, but in the interest of the Democratic party. I am not a can didate for anypffice and would ac cept none; and as the matters re ferred to are all public record, I have no apology to make. I am indeed sorry that some of our county officers should have estab lished the reputations they have. I think they should enter a plea of self-defense and retire. HOWELLSVILLE DEMOCRAT.

Great Improvements That Have Been Made in Farming in Sad dle Tree Township Some Good Farmers and What They ' Can Raise-A Full Ticket Named. Correspondence of The Robesonian. After a real tough year's or season's plowing, and having seen so much news in the noble and much-loved Robesonian, I will once again give my feeble opinion on some current mat ters. With relish we read Mr. War wick's notes on the great im provements in farming in Britt's township, and we think it should be written and shown from every section where improvements are being made. It not only helDS the immediate neighborhood, but the whole country at large. Right here I would like to mention some of our farmers in the little township of Saddle Tree. While we have no towns, railroads or high schools, think there has been as much improvement ' in farming in Saddle Tree township as has been made elsewhere in the county in the last 25 or 30 years. About that long" ago, on a certain farm now in Saddle Tree, we remem ber seeing a man leading a little bull yearling and his wife hold ing the plow handles, trying to do the plowing. The land changed hands and on a certain day this year there were $1,000 worth ot mules pulling plows m sight of the same spot. The place is now owned by Mr. D. B. Humphrey. Mr. Jesse B. tiumpnrey, wno lives withm a few hundred yards of this place, has made this year, on 1,500 square yards ot ground, 45 bush els of corn (corn known as the Mclntyre Prolific) . At same rate he would make 147 bushels per acre. To make this 45 bushels of corn he did one day's work from beginning to finish and applied eleven dollars worth of fertil izers. The fodder and peas grown on the ground will dou ble pay for work and manure Mr. Humphrey planted acre in Irish potatoes which brought him $75, and on the same ground will make at least 100 bushels of sweet potatoes which will net him one dollar per bushel. There will be just $175 from one half an acre, which would be 350 dol lars pre acre. Mr. E. J. Hum phrey made last year on 4 acres of ground 208 bushels of corn and will make as much per acre year on 8 or ten acres. Mr. Dick Humphrey makes in adddition to his thousands of bushels of pota toes, from 40 to 60 bushels of corn and a bale of cotton to ev ery acre he plants. Mr. Mc. Humphrey, Mr. Arch McDuffie, Miss Thesia Carlyle, Mr! E. J. Biggs and Mr. J. W. McNeill will gather a bale of cotton per acre, if no disaster overtakes their crops. I don't think any section of Robeson county has made any more progress in the farming line in 25 years than Saddle Tree has. The people are just finding out that 10 acres to the horse will pay better than 30. Some friend or enemy, I hard ly know which, has mailed us a copy of the board of audit and finance report, and to save my old gray head I can t see how they allow such to be circulated through the country when the very same board, with the board of county commissioners, helped by expert accountants, so clearly vendicated and reversed the whole matter. And, Oh, that D. P. McEachern letter! Well, he has more sense than we have, but we can't like the letter. After the vindication of all parties accused, so clearly, and done, too, by the same par ties that made the findings, don't think Steve Edmond would make much headway among s.n sible people, even though he preached till his tongue lolled out a foot long; and as for Mr, McEachern's man for the Legis lature. we can't endorse him at all. Not but that his man is al right and perhaps a much better man than we will be able to se lects a native born There no one gladder to receive good people among us than we are our selves. We know that there an just as good men who immigrated he.e as ever were born here, but along that line we are prejudiced and can't help it. W hen a btate, county or church has been in ex istence 30 or 40 years and is not able to fill important places with her own sons, we think it is time to throw up the spunge and go out of business.
