Owing to the fact that many erroneous reports are in circula tion, and some have been pub lished in the newspapers of the county we feel it our duty to the public, and to ourselves, to make the following statement: We met a committee of the board of county commissioners, which committee was composed of Mr. J.

C. the purpose of our meeting with4 them being to give them such in formation as we had relating to the taxes for the year 1906. We employed Mr. J. P. Stansel, as accountant, and the board of commissioners employed Mr. A. Parmele. These two gentle men made up a statement of ac count for the year 1906 alone, that is, the fiscal year of 1907 1907, and by this statement of account made up by Messrs. Stansel and Parmele, it appears that ex-Sheriff Geo. B. McLeod is due for the special school taxes for the fiscal year 1906-1907 to Britt's Nd. 1, Back Swamp No, 3. St. Paul's No. 6, Lumber Bridge No. 1 and No. 3, Parkton No. l,Sterhng's No. 2and No. 7, Burnt Swamp No. 1 and No. ' ' on1 VT M v i Ai KTrk 1 ni Qiim rvp $271.26, which amount he is still due these special school dis tricts. It appears further that he has overpaid Saddle Tree No. 4 the sum of $2.24, Lumber Bridge No. 8, $98.88, but these amounts we neither allowed, nor did we in tend to allow him as credits on the balances due by him to Back Swamp, Britt's, St. Paul's, Lum ber Bridge etc., the special school districts above enumer ated.. This account also shows that he is due road taxes, for the year 1906, to Alfordsville, Back Swamp, Howellsville, Lumber- ton, Parkton, Red Springs, Sad die Tree, Sterling's, St. Paul's and Thomson's, the sum of $1, 386.63; that he has overpaid Blue Springs, Britt s, Lumber Bridge, Maxton, Raft Swamp, Wishart's, the sum of $1,342.09, but we neither intended to allow him, nor did we allow him to offset what he owed Back swamp, Burnt Swamp, etc., with the amount he had overpaid Blue Springs, Britt's etc., so that of the road taxes for the year 1906, he is now legally due the sum of $1,386.63, and of special school taxes, the sum of $271.26, We do not understand that eith er the board of commisioners of the county or ourselves, are au thorized by law to permit him to charge one township, or special school district, with money he has improperly paid to another, We have never made any report or signed any statement that the county of Robeson was indebted to Sheriff McLeod in any amount whatever, for the taxes of 1906, or for any other year. On the contrary, the recapitulation of the taxes for that year which has been published m the newspapers, and which appears in the state ment made by Messrs. Stansel and Parmele, also shows that the county did not owe him any thing for the taxes of 1906. In a communication lately pub ished by Sheriff McLeod, he states that we have reported a balance of $398.59 due him. This was derived by him irom a re capitulation of all the taxes of the State and county, made by Messrs. Stansel and Parmele, and did not contain the full ac count, as made out by Stansel and Parmele, showing the legal balances due by Sherift McLeod to road and special school dis tricts, as hereinbefore stated 1 he only substantial difference in the account, as made out oy Messrs. Stansel and Parmele, and the", account made out by the expert accountants em ployed by us was in a credit of $382.57. allowed to Sheriff McLeod. This credit was due to an error of Mr. D. W. Bullock, in transferring the bank stock in Lumberton township from the scrolls to the tax books. There is also an allowance of $521.77, commissions due Sheriff McLeod by State for State taxes.

McLEAN-ROZIER CO 7-9-tf think, nor have we ever thought, that we have anything to do with the settlement of State taxes, except in so far as his failure to do so has interfered in any way wih the payments of what ever amounts were due to the county on school taxes, as here tofore reported by us in our original report, the findings of which, as to this matter, are hereby re-affirmed. The error as to the transfer of the bank stock was due to Mr. D. W. Bul lock, and not to our expert ac countants, who took Mr. Bul lock's figures on the tax list as being correct, but even after al lowing Sheriff McLeod the $382, 57, he would still be indebted to the county of Robeson on taxes of 1906, and at no time have we ever stated, or signed any writ ing, to the contrary. We deem it proper to say fur ther that we have not released, nor did we intend to release, Sher iff McLeod from the interest due by him to the county on money which we found he had withheld nor have we released, nor do we intend to release him for his fail ure to collect the "B" and "C" taxes. The "B" and "C" taxes paid by E.C. McNeill for the year 1907 amount to $2,697.26. while the "B" and "C" taxes paid by Sheriff McLeod for the year I9O6 amount to $431.50, making a dif ference of $2,265.76. We called these matters to the attention of the board of county commissioners at the time we Aere going over them, and have since that time, on two occasions within the last ten days, called it to their attention, telling them that the discrepancy was too great, and that the State and county should not lose this amount, it having been the duty of Sheriff McLeod to enforce the collectron of these taxes, the same as other taxes. What action the board of coun ty commissioners propose to take about this we do not know, but feel that we have performed our duty when we have called it to their attention. We wish it distinctly under stood that we have not with drawn any of the findings here tofore made by us, as to any ma-1 terial facts affecting anv of the public officials of the county; the only change that we agreed to having been the correction of a clerical error, made by Mr. D.W. Bullock, in transferring the bank stock of Lumberton township from the scrolls to the taxbooks, by reason of which error Sheriff McLeod became entitled to a cred it of $382.57, and some minor er rors iri calculation, amounting in all to a very few dollars, and this relating to one year, and that year, lyob, alone. All 01 the other findings heretofore made by us must be understood as remaining as they were, as no evidence has been presented to us to change them in any way. We deem it proper to say fur ther that all efforts on the part of any one to make our action appear as going further than we havestated above, are unwarrant ed, and without foundation in fact. The action taken by us in this matter was as individual mem bers of the board of audit and fi nance, and neither Mr. A. B. Pearsall, our chairman, nor our attorney, Col. N. A. McLean, were present, nor did they have any connection with the mat ter. We dislike to have anything to say about this in the public press but so many wholly . unfounded rumors are in circulation, and there have been statements made in the newspapers so widely at variance with the true facts, we deem it our duty to ourselves, and to the publie, that the real truth should be known, and that we should make a statement giving the items of account as are here inbefore referred to. Graham Mckinnon J. M. Butler. August 17, 1908. ' the Use Com- Some Rules Governing of Capitals and Some merits Thereon. To the Editor of The Robesonian. I have been asked to write a few rules governing the use of capital letters. With your permis sion,! venture to offer a few which are frequently disregarded. (1) Bejnn with camtal letters. North, East, South, and West, when applied to regions of the country, as, North Carolina is situated in the South, south (direction) of Va. (2) Names of special bodies of men; at, the last Legislature created a Board of Audit and Finance to settle with the Board of Commissioners. (3) Common names used as specific names; as the Governor of the State will speak in the County near Lumber River, by invitation of the Sheriff. (4) Religious sects and polit ical parties; as Baptists, Metho dists, and Jews belong to the Republican and Democratic par tie?. (5) A direct quotation; as, God said, "Let there be light," (6) A direct question; as, Answer this: Do you know these rules? While there are many others, the following general rule from Prof. D. J. Hill will be of assist ance if- judiciously applied: Capital letters are ,used for the sake of giving distinction to certain words, so that their sense may be more obvious; but they are of advantage only when us ed so sparingly as to contrast with small letters." The follow ing is not a violation of above rules: bodies 01 men and in dividual rulers such as sheriffs, governors, kings, legislatures, boards of audit, and county com missioners, are necessary to govern the alfairs of , states, counties, and towns, lhere are many rivers in the country, but when we are in Lumberton we say the River is west from town In the last sentences most of the nouns are used in a common, or general way and therefore begin with small letters. H. L. Edens Pembroke, N. C. Aug. 12,1908. Some of the rules submitted by Prof. Edens do not square with the best newspaper usage, The tact is, except m a few m stances, no hard and fast rules can be laid down for the use of cap ital letters, and this fact Prof. Hill, from whom Prof, Edens quotes, recognizes in the eeneral rule quoted. The test of all language is its effective ness, and usage largely detei mines. Whether one writes board of audit and finance" or Board of Audit and Finance" depends very much upon the connection or the prominence one wishes to give, and in ordi nary use it is certainly not in correct to write the "board of audit and finance" without the use of capitals. And certainly good usage does not demand, in the sentence he gives about i he Governor of the State will speak." etc, that sheriff, or county or river be written with a capital. Prof. Edens would not. we think, write The Governor of the State will speak near the Whiteville Road by in vitation of the Teacher;" he would use lowrer case in writing road and teacher. And one would not write ihe Kiver is west from town," any more than one would write "The Street (in designating any particular street) runs North and bouth using a capital letter to write street.

Philadelphia -Bulletin. The rain fell in buckets, the thunder racketed terribly, and the lightning drew zigzag lines of bright gold upon the violet sky. "So you, too, don't Know what an inch of rain is exactly," said the weather clerk, as he looked at his rairfmeasuring instrument. "Very few people do, it seems. I'll explain it to you. "An acre is 6,272,640 square inches An inch of water on an acre is therefore 6.272,640 cubic inches. That amount, at 227 cubic inches to the gallon, equals 22,000 gallons, or220, 000 pounds, or 100 tons. "An inch of rain is, in other words, rain fallins: at the rate of 100 tons to the acre." Turn on the Light. To the Editor of The Robesonian. I see it stated in The Rcbeson- lan that the Democratic execu tive committee has declared for a primary for the purpose of nom inating the various county offi cers, and at the same time pass ed a resolution against any canvass before the primary. It also appears that five or six members of this committee, in cluding the chairman, are can didates for office. I understand that at least two members of the committee, Mr. McEachern and Mr McLeod, ask for the support of the voters of Robeson conuty in order that they may be vindi cated of various and sundry charges made against them by the board of audit and finance. It seems to me if they are inno cent of these charges they would have been glad of an - opportun ity to "turn on the ' light" and tell the people all about these various transactions. If the charges are untrue, as they say they are, they not only owe to themselves, but they owe it to the Democratic party, to prove these charges false. If they are successful in their"still-hunt" for office the Democratic party will be the loser and they themselves will still be under he same cloud that now hangs dark and threat ening above their heads. So I say, gentlemen, in all seriousness: come out from behind your ill- advised resolution, meet your accusers face to face and "turn on the bright light", and if, as you say, there is no skeleton in the closet you will be perfectly safe in the open. I cannot think the good people of upper Robeson will take the advice of one Mr. Chisholm, who seems to endose ( orrupt practices and immorality on the ground that all are guilty. All are not guilty. 1 have a very exalted opinion ofthe good peo ple of Robeson county and feel sure that such sentiments as he expresses will be resented at the polls at the coming primary; and after the 10th of September none will be before the Democratic party asking for her support who would for a moment endorse the sentiments he expresses.
