Beating his way through a well of smoke and flame, W. A. Weaver today prevented the explosion of two.immense benzine tank*, near which were 30,000 bar rels of crude coal oil. Weaver, who Is superintendent of the Atlantic Re fining plant, saved the lives of hun dreds of persons, almost sacrificing his own. A still, connected by pipe with the I tanks, caught fire. The flames spread { rapidly. Weaver, seeing that an ex plosion would result if a cock in the pipe was not turned off, rushed through the blase, with his clothes afire and turned the lever. A crowd of nearly 1,06# persons saw him disappear in^tfce smoke, and, singed, blackened and all tat suffo cated, reappear after he bad aaved the plant. As he staggered to safety Weaver was madly cheered. ^ MAYOR'S COURT.

After much correspondence and considerable investigatton, I am fully convinced that action in the matter should not be longer de ferred. And that the results follow ing the adoption of modern business methods in the conduct of our public affairs will demonstrate the wisdom ot the change. That the people should pay full and adequate salaries no one will deny, but they should not pay more for such service than its mar ket value will also be conceded. There la no more equitable guide to follow In reaching this basis than the scale of salaries paid by the private and corporate baslness conducted In the oouaty for like services and re quirements. That at present we sre paying more is known to all men. How much more i? known to no man. We do know that no prudent business man would tolerate the present lax and extravagant system a single dsy. We do know that no private enter prise could exist and compete with modern methods under its operations. How long are the people going to nt(* lect this leak and appear Indifferent to this waste of public funds? In the couree of my Inveetlgatlons I hsve gathered some facts very Interesting to me, and may be to the public. They have enabled me to draw some con elusions by comparison. In each In stance I have adhered to the mini mum, and my esti mites are conserv ative, as will be found by any one who wishes to follow up my state nients with a personal Investigation. The experience of Oullford and Bun combe countlee. the pioneers operat ing undet the salary system, has been emlnentty ? satisfactory. During the year of.it09 the feeB collected by the officers of each of above counties amounted to about $4 per vote cast in last (1908) election. The amount paid by these counties in salaries in the same year was IJ.40 per voter, effecting a saving of fl.te par. vote. Beaufort's popular vote In 1908 was approximately 3,122, and, basins my calculations on above figures, 1 And that we can pay out Sheriff, Register and Clerk each $1,500. our Treasurer ?900. allow |2,100 for deputies and incMentala and yet effect a saving of ? 5.000 per annum. The fact that our "salaried" County Commissioners are now compelled to borrow money to tide them over with current ex penaes until the tax gatherers begin the harvest. Ths fact that they are hampered for the like of fnnda In making needed improvements. The fact that the oontlnuai agitation of the Court House question Is ultimate ly going to compel the expenditure of considerable money. The fact that It la necessary a. each succeeding ses sion of the Leglslsture for Beaufort county ? to have a special act paased authorizing the County *Coounlaalpn ers to levy a special tax of 13 1-3 cents on the f 100 property value end 40 cents on each poll to oover the current expense of the county. The fact that we have no system of audit makes our present method vulnera ble'in many places. The comblnatlona of these conditions convinced me that the situation is a serious one. Thait the book of sets should be laid wide opdn before the people. To svold dis sension the question should be sub mitted to the coming Democratic pri mary, the. ouly' medium through which the voice of the individual voter reaches the legislative halls of our State. The justice in the people's solution of the problem, the falmesK in their action in dealing squarely with the sltustlon, Will leave no mar room for appeal. Very respectfully, ^ FRHD P.
