young man of sterling character and
good business ability, having had a
well-rounded experience in tha job
bing business through a prominent
position with one of the largest con
cerns of the kind in Newbern, from
which j: ity he arrived, with family,
Friday afternoon. Mr. Sawyer will
td hv Mr. C. C. Nelson, al
so from Newbern, who comes with
ine repuiauuii w "'is, iu .
good name for himjeff in business i
and without. 1
il !.!. . t Va1mm ' MOiia ' o
It is the purpose of the concern toj
conauct a morougmy up-iu-uaic uuo-
mess and to enlarge its capacity ior
serving as fast as conservative bus
iness methods will permit. ,
The following officers have been
elected: Mr. M. Guion Lee, president;
Mr. C. C. Nelson, vice president;
Mr. H. J. Sawyer, secretary-treasurer.
Question Arises as to Abolishing. Of
fice of County Treasurer
-It seems that there is some ques
tion about the Legislature having the
power to abolish the office of coun
ty treasurer, which thing the last
Legislature did for Robeson coun
ty. Mr. M. G. McKenzie, present
incumbent, says the constitution of
North Carolina provides that there
shall be such an office in each coun
ty and only a two-thirds vote of the
people can abolish the office. He
has some attorneys investigating the
matter. The law passed by the Leg
islature Abolishing this (office and
placing the duties of said office in
the hands of the sheriff says that
not more than $900 per year shall
be paid for this work. Mr. McKen
zie thinks, too, that the sheriff can
not perform the duties of that office,
as the constitution provides that no
ATie man shall hold two elective of
fices. As no man was nominated in
the recent primary it is not known
who would hold the office in case it
is found that the Legislature did not
have the right to abolish the office.
MatW of Paying Premium On Bond
of Treas. McKenzie Before Com
missioners '
County Treasurer M. G. McKen
zie filed a bill with the board of coun
ts -nmrnicsinnprs tndflv askinc that
the ypay the premium on his bond.
The premium amounts to around
$600. It will be remembered that af
ter Mr. McKenzie was elected at the
last election the security companies
refused to make his bond and the of
fice of county treasurer was closed
till after the Legislature had met
and changed the law so Mr. McKenzie
could make an individual bond. The
county has been paying the bond
when tHe security companies made
it, but when Mr. McKenzie arranged
an individual bond the board thought
that the county should not have to
pay the premium on same. The mat
ter was deferred till court and the
judge will decide whether or not the
county shall pay the premium.

Hoot man, would you have them with

The recent conference of our law
yers at Wrightsville developed some
new ideas about the procedure of our
courts. We have often thought that
some "radical changes should be made,
but how can it be done when the
whole bar unites to feather their
own nests. If it were possible to
have a judge who is not a lawyer,
something could be done. We notice
recently where the finding of a jury
was set aside by the judge.
In one of the President's latest
speeches, he stressed the importance
of all the people ruling you will
find that not only in the nation, but
in every little hamlet, there is al
ways a small bunch who think them
selves the only ones competent to
rule, and they generally look with
contempt upon any man from the
country who dares to express any
opinion opposite 10 meir uh-iuhuumm
