'made quite clear atfd t^t it they want this bill railroaded through without any regard for the wishes of the people whom this court must serve. For what purpose should ?his bin be enacted "as speedily as possible?" Where would the county or Its cltlseas save anything la the way ?f expense If the bill as aet out In the Commissioners resolution he ex acted iftto * law? (One man would be benefitted and he Is the. reporter It Is proposed to hare one recorder with jurisdiction over the entire county, this being true, would it not cost any peraou~.the same amount to come to Washington from Bel' hav en or 8outh Creek to attend a rec order's court as it would to attend the eunerlor court and would he not be subject to a summons to appear before this court every month or ?very day during the year whereas now he cannot be forced to attend criminal court more than four times each year. Again, nothing to said as' to how the recorder shall obtain his offlce, whether by appointment or by pop ular vote jf the people. The Com missioners ebould bear in mind the fact they are only representatives of the people, to carry out or to put In effect the wisher of the people. Vtr/r "twfofe" WAJill on any proposition of r0 much Im portance as this one. should ascer tain the wishes of their constituents. Have they looked carefully Into the question of costs of operating a recorder's court-? * ? The Dally News |i not opposed to n recorder's court provided the people wsnt one, but It feels that they should be fully advised before It Ik saddled upon them. Possibly a recorder'# court for Washington or Washington townfhlp would be a good thing to have, but we do not believe auch a court lo cated In Washington with Jurisdic tion of the county la at all practical, nor would; It be good policy or econ omy to establish one of this kind, further we are directly opposed to the enactment of any law which will take from the people a constitution al right, which Is, to hare a to Ice in the naming of their oflteiala. ^ The Judges of our supreme an* superior courts are elected by a pop. ular rot,e of the people, then why should not the reoorder be so nasi ?** ,A Mil simitar to the oae now ad vocated by the County Oomntlsaloa ers, was presented to the ledaU turar two years ago and It Bet with seek strong opposition Uwt It *ss withdrawn. The representatives from Beaufort county, before passing any law e?ect log the Interests of the cltlseas of Beaufort county, should Brat fcari such bills, as Introduced, published In the connty papers, so that the peo ple may he folly advised and there by have an opportunity to express themselves. Another matter of grave laipoK anre received the attention of the Boaatf, this was theepevlct force, tbey Instructed the rgMntr attorney to prepare, have/ Introduced and parsed a law iMfeaalng the tax levy lt'ceata op /he tlOO.te' valuation for the maintenance of the chain gang, Jff* venture the aaeerUon that not twenty per cent o? tin Beaufort county would rote for i a tax when th^ are folly advleed a* to the coat of the work which this force does. . ? - ' " Beaufort county hs* operated Ita convict road force tor about four years an<T durin* that time has spent about $26,000.09 for its mainten- - mce. ? .

Usee when han tt heooaae necee mss ry for Beaufort county to have ui auditor and whyMi the defining of his duties to left with the leg islature which will he .called upon to create such an oflMb? .Evidently the authority ?f the County Commissioners ties been en larged or they hare gone beyond the ' requirements of their office. The Board of County Commissioners are public officers, elected by the people und their duties are laid down In the Rtatutes. They have never aaked publicly to be Instructed by their constituents p8* any of the subjects mentioned.* The only matter which came be- . fore them requiring Megialative ac tion was that of maintaining the public roads by taxation, on this '> " they were expressly Instructed to have drawn and passed* a law to this offset, this the only mgtter on which Lho>' hud *Tiitrn',tJons i rslassed t back to the people of each township * with the Btatment that they were un nble to frame a law which would be Satisfactory to the people, on all the other questions they did not ask for nor seem to want- any Instructions rrom the people. Why* - Until such time as our county af fairs are taken out of politics and placed on a strictly business baals prill our county be In debt and forc ed each year to borrow money to pay current expenses. Why did not the Board of Com missioners instruct the county at tor- ? ney to draw and have passed a bill giving a legalized primary to the town of Washington and Beeufort , county and another fixing the sal dries of our county officers? Are matters on which the peoplq h a sifaken snd why hare they, Commissioners," remained silent these subjects? Is it because th things do not meet with thetr ap proval and they hope to let them go by default! - , , - ^ ^ - Let t&sm answer to- the people.
