"si-.' ,ff ' ,1 r vVy--'-;'';?,."'. . -V.- - 7 1 ri 4-' "- 5$Z-'. 1 Salary Baslsfor Coantf Otticers. A late press dispatch announc es that the officers 6fxOuilford county are now paid on a salary basis, the law having gone into effect December 1st, and calls at tention to the resultant savings Hitherto, as in many other coun ties, Guilford's officers have been receiving the official fees a'nd per centages, which in many cases Amouuted to sums far in excess of umple salaries for the work done. Now the sheriff is allowed a salary of $2,500, the deputies are allowed their fees, and the jailer is paid a salary. The clerk of the court and. the register of deeds receive $2V250 each, with an extra allowance of $1,100 each for clerk hire. Even with these liberal salaries,, it is estimated that Guilford will, save $10,000 a y ar which goes to the road fund. We mention this merely to re . mind our readers that there are other counties that would find it profitable to adopt the salary sys tem of ci mpensation. There are not a few county officers who re ceive from fees and percentage an almost, if not not quite dou ble, the Governor' sa'ary, when good and capable men can e isily be fi"ound to do the work just as well i3 for a salary of something like half of what this fee system pays The saving of $5,000 to $10,000 could be devoted to local improve ments to making bejtter roads or better public buildings or better schools, or could be usefully em ployed in many other ways. - This is a matter worthy of at tention of the legislature. By a special act the fee system could in any county be changed to thr salary system so as to take effect two. years hence upon the expira tion of the tenure of present offi cers. If you are likely to want a , chauge to the sa'ary system in 1 your county within the next two years, now is thef time to fcafk to your representative and take ac tion. Pfogiessiye Farmer,- " A Lite Topic in tbe Hbuw. Washington, Jffn. 8 In the House today Mr. Slayden , of Texas, spoke af length on the Brownsville affair. He said there was no doubt 'that the negro troops had been responsible for that disturbance and contended that if they had been white men their discharge would have been generally endorsed. He charged that the defense of the negroes was due to political leasons. Mr. Slayden also reviewed the record of the Twenty-fifth Infantry, showing that somw portioi s of it hfd been involved in other affairs which were not creditable t them. Instances of lawlessness by other negro regiments were abo detail ed. In declaring the negro race to be unfit for American soldiers, the Texas congressman said he had in view only the circumstan ces of their service. He did not impeach their physical courage "This is a virtue," he said, "that belongs to nearly all men and if there be any difference between savage and civilized men in this respect the superiority possibly lies with the savage who is unde-1 terred from rash ventures by thought of the consequences." Mr. Slayden spoke of the sym pathy that welds people into a homogenous political and social mas?, but said that it "has never existed and never will exist be tween Negroes and Caucasians." Should Return Ssate's Lloney., Pierre, S D., Jan. 8. Samuel H. El rod, the retiring Governor ofc'South Dakota, in his farewell message to the Legislature today, severely assails the noted' !Nqr,th Carolina bond deal, by which 1 South Dakota collected $25,000 from a Southern State ou paper which had' been repudiated. He says South Dakota has no moral right to the money. The message urges the Legislature to pass a bill returning the money to North Carolina. Are Still Neighbors. Rev. E . K. Mctartv and Rev. O. I. Hinson were reared on ad joiping-farms about four milei east of Monroe, their homes being 1 about half a mile apart. As boys they attended the same day school Sunday school and church, went swimming in the same pond in summer and chased the same rab bit in winter, and we will say in passing that if there was any sport "those two good preachers enjoyed when hey were boys more than chasiiig a rabbit, it was jumping and chasiug another rabbit. Mr. McLarty and Mr. Hinson are still neighbors, the Western North Carolina Conference having as signed them both to work in Salis bury f..r tlusynar and their bonus now are a littfn nearer each other thau they were when they were boys down on the farm.
