'Dear Sfcr:
My sttpstioa has boon called to a
letter, wffer date of December 30th.
1*M, eftreelated by Messrs. W, B.
WiiMley aad B. G. Mai 11 son. protesting
Ast salaries of $76 per month to
the me carder and $25 per month to
the Blerk of the Recorder's Court at
WaaMtagtaa are Inadequate. At the
outabt permit me ear-that I hold
kdth q| theee gentlemen In filgh es^^^teem
and 1 would not knowingly do
either of them an Injustice, but It le
'jflr perhaps sty daty to set right the ac:
tion of the committee, of which 1 was
Pc ? chairman, appointed by yon pursuant <
| to the resolution of the Democratic
L County Cenventlon. i
In the ftrst place the letter refer- i
red to states that this committee was
composed* principally of lawysra and i
k?? that thate attitude on the matter of
I salaries ?u prompted by hostility to |
1 the Reeerder'a Courts end & deaiwlb
| abolish them. 1 do not know how' ,
many lawyers you appointed on the
committee, but it is quite certain that
the tetw*Ioo t^e
not attead because of faflure to re- ,
(dsn the notification. The other ]
members af the committee who at- i
tended were laymen from the several i
tor^ahlpe. all of whom were repre- \
f . some differences of opinion as to the j
amount ef salaries to be paid, they j
were uaanimons on these three \
lUIbrs, whkJx the Democratic Oeuaty hi
Contention was understood to en- <
y ~ done*j^sfc: v i
(1) That trial by Jury should be
granted to every person who pleaded
, "hot guilty** and demanded this right.
Aa I understand no objection is made
by Messrs. Windley and Malllson to
'' \ this provision.
(S) That the cosU in petty cases
\ should be reduced and made tolerable,
so tlTat a man Indicted In the
V Recorder's Conrt would not hare to
pay two or three times as much costb
as he would have to pay tor trial
of the same case in a Magistrate's
Conrt, It b*lQS also provided that
(he* costs In those cases before the
Recorder of which the Superior Court
formerly had jurisdiction should be
understand that Messrs. Windley and
Malllson object to the reasonable reduction
of coats, but of course it enters
into the question of salary.
(3) That the office should be put
on a salary basis, primarily because
it was unfair both to the defendant
and the' officers who tried him. that
the latter should be paid only in case
of eonvlctlon?which under the pres-1
ent system la equivalent to saying to
yoq ylll be gild throodollars, butae-,
<ialt him and you will be paid nothtsg"?and
la the next place because
the public, that la the County, ahould
receive Whatever benefit or profit
there may be in the offlco over and
above a reasonable salary, as in eith- 1
or easaUie County mast stand a large
afcarefTthe loss if the Court does not j
pay expenses, whether under the fee
system or upon salary. To Illustrate, f
Mr. Windley states that the office Is
new paying him 9175 per month/ho 1
and yet the County Is paying a Sher- '
if and his Deputies, a Treasurer and
Board of Commissioners, furnishing
7* a Jail and chain gang and Incurring
other expense on account of those
! v convicted who do not or cannot pay
costs and. who go to the roads or Jail
Instead. Manifestly, if 175 per month
is a fair salary, this excess of

some favoring more and others
lees, but the amounts named were
agreed to as an average or the whole
divergence. While exaet figures
were not at hand. It was estimated
that Mr. Grimes, the former Recorder,
had received about '$160 per
month and his Clerk $S0 to $36 per
month, and taking the reduced costs
into acwnnt, as well ss the time rcfliilrad,
thft cnmmlttpo ran eluded that
the salaries proposed were adequate
for the servles to be performed. I
crtalnly do not mean to say that,Jhlr.
Windley'e entire time and services
are not worth more than $76 per
moath. nor Mr. Mallison's more than
$26 per month and If there be any inequality.
1 should say it is against
the Clerk, considering the records he (
will be required to koep under the .
new system, but the Committee aEf
tiqipated that neither would have j
to devote more than half his time to I
the offlco unH on li??U ? Ml J
calculated that the salary of the Recorder
la equal to the net salary of j
the highest* county officer. Personally
I should not object to seeing the ,
salary of the Recorder $100 and that
of the Clerk $50 per month, but I do
not believe it 1b warranted.

Washington because I hare heard no e
complaint either from Bolhaven or
Aurora. j
I am also- Informed that the Board ^

Lory efforts may be to leave the matter

the action of the Democratic County
Convention, aa I interpret It, and do- ?

The following is the letter referred
to by Mr. MacLean. x
Washington, ft. C., Dec. 30, 1912.
Dear Blr:
1 am writing yon in reference to
you ropinlon as to the aalariea of Recorders
and Clerks to Recorder's
Cionfta, The lawyers as a hnriy are
apposed to the syBtem of' recorders'
courts in this state as shown by a
resolution unanimously passed at the
meeting of the Bar Association at
Korehead* City last summer, for the
reason that cases aro disposed of in
ton ^oun ana never roacn tne superior
Courts, where the lawyer's I
practice lies.
A resolution to abolish Recorders' C
Courts was not presented at the dem- ;
Dcratlc convention last summer, fear- B
Ing such a movement would be un- j
popular, but a resolution was passed p
st this convention appointing a com- t
mlttee. which was composed prlnel- -j
pally of lawyers, to recommend that 0
Recorder* and Recorder's Clerks be j.
placed on salaries and to recommend r
to the legislature the amount that
these salaries should be. 7 ? ^
This committee has mot and made g
op a schedule, fixing salaries at such 0
a small amount, that a capable man t
cannot afford to glVe hla time for ]
such renumeratlon. ^Therefore, the ,
nltimate result will bo the abolishment
of this court. Now everyone a
who has looked into this matter is t
aware of the Saving this Court has c
been to the tax payers of Beoufort j
County, a striking instance being c
only a two-day term of the last Crlmrbdl
Court. " j
: I would thsnk you as a delegate to 1
the last County convention, to write
me your views on thlB aubjett, stat- 1
Ing whether or not you think $76 1
and $$6 per month sre adequate sal- 1
arias for the Recorder and Clerk In
the Washington district.

Washington. Jan. 13?The govern
meut'fi victory at New York lasi
Thursday against the so-called lum
ber trust is regarded by officials ol
. tho moHt Important accomplishment!
under the Sheramn anti-trust law,
because it limits in largo measure
the yuwt'i uud I'rmUFRUH ul T 1st'
much-discuBBed "middle man" it

The decision is construed here ai
meaning that the consumer of lum
ber, untrammelled by the retailer*
, may purchase from the wholesaler
or manuf""turer and the latter waj
sell direct to the public without in
terference of a combination of re,
tallers.
The Issue deided was one of tliret
_ civil proceedings and one crimlanl
prosecution against retail deals' associations,
charged with conspiracy
by various means to prevent the pub
He from dealing directly with the
manufacturer or wholesaler of lum
ber.
The lumber trust cases still peud

THK GIVING THAT COUNTS.
The best giving of all?and the
hardest?is the giving of one's self.
This Is what makes the beautiful spirit
of Christmas, and this is what w?
t should Btrlve for. To do a favor for
someone else when the time Is m
1 hard to spare; to forget our worriea -gf
1 and be cheerful and friendly when *
i are Tired and cross;.'to learn a pieo? rr
of music that someone likes and we
{ don't like; to break down the
f unconscious wall of opposition we *"
] nave raised against some acquaint
anrc; to overcome our petty preju
dices; to be hospitable In things ma- %
I terial and things spiritual?In other
? words, unselfish; this is the only true
- giving. When we have learned to do ,
this, presents do not count.?By Mrs.
