SHERIFF GIVES STATEMENT I
(Continued from page 1)
Sheriff Ricks advertised me on one
occasion and I did not pot mad be
cause 1 had not paid tuy luxes, and
1 have through error advertised
few men wlvj had paid their taxes
and as soon as 1 f>ianrt it out. I took
their names out of t ie paper and
did not sell and wrote each party.
We have a small crowded opce and
have to wait on ladies, gentlemen,
prisoners In Jail and the telephone
sometime* all at the time and
is there a man living under such
circumstances who would not make
a mistake?
To the taxpayers of Beaufort
county: I want to give you an idea
as to the progress of your county
and the increase of work on the
Sheriff In 1913 the total taxes col
lected by Sheriff Ricks was $S5,
095.24. In 1914 the total tax col
lected by Sheriff H'.oks axul Windley
was ?86,030.43 In 1915 the total
tax that I am to collect and have
collected most of it is 2 154, 234.76.
I had $27,00" draiuage tax to col
lect. 1 had to fell the drainage tax
this year in February, when hereto
fore it was advertised right along
with the S:ate and county taxes,
which necessitated my hiring extra
help I had io hire an extra man
to get up our State and county ad
vertisement, as our tax books do not
show the number of acres, or who it
adjoins ar.d I wished to keep the peo
ple satisfied about their taxes in
ordei4 to do this I had to go to the
Registers' office and get the de
scription from the abstract book.
Now in regards to the office: 1 es
pecially want It one more term and
that will- give me ample time to
collect In lots of little accounts ow
ing me personally. 1 have done a?
much for my friends and the party
as any man in the county of Beau
fort for the past four years; and 1
hope my friends will nominate mo
for one more term as your Sheriff.
With best wishes,
W. B WIXDLBY, Sheriff.

I do not recall having seen Mr.
Johnson in Raleigh except on on?
occasion while 'the Legislature was
lft ses&lon. At that time I offered
my services if there were any mat
ter* In which I could assist him. Be
told me they were trying to get some
changes in the drainage law and that
Dr. Joseph Hyde Pratt, State Geol
ogist. had the matter in charge.
After he hwi talked with Dr.
Pratt Mr. Johnson told 'me ,he
thought- they had 'a bill prepared
which contained th? necessary
amendments. (For some cause the
bill failed to pass the housa and the
drainage laws remain as before).
During -our conversation Mr.
(Johnson ststed he had tfesrd there
. woiffd be an effort made to paas a
'stock law for Beaufort oouaty. I
asked blf opinion, and he replied
that he would not. pass such a law
and said a petition favoring it had
been presented to him and he refus
ed to sign-it unless the question was
submitted to a vote pf the people.
