Death followed an op eration for Cj affection of tht ki&a7j$ QUESTION FOR THE FARMERS. Have, the Commissioneners Acted In Good Faith, or Treated Them Fairly in Letting Their Office to Lawyers? J In the original plan of our now court house there were provided two rooms on the first floor adjoining each other, one fur the Board of Education und one for the Agricultural Society of the county, which are now occupied hy two. lawycrp. The Board of Education and Agricultural So ciety each mndo demand unn the county com i nis loners for their office and were re fused. As we have been informed, the al leged reason for this course, by the county commissioners was the poverty of the coun ty, it not belug able without the rental of these offices to pay Will E. Jackson for sweeping the court house floor and clean ing the spittoons. As this isfnir week and the farmers are gathered together for mutual i iterchauee of views and improvements, it will be a iod time for them to consider their rights, if ihy haye any, to the possession of their room built and provided for them in the commissioners' new court house. The excue. or at least one of the excuses offered by the co mission ers for turning the farmers out and putting two lawyers m pofsessio'i of the room provided in the plan of the couit house for. the Agricultural So ciety, the poverty of the county, is so ridi culously absurd that it must bring a blush to the cheeks of the commissioners to men tion it.- The pi Ice psi I the janitor is $17.50 per month- or $210.00 ier year. To raise this amount by taxation would require the levy of one fifteenth of one 'cent on each $100.00 worth of property in the count I The farmers being entitled to but one of the rooms, it would require the raising 'of but one half this amount, $105.00, or one thirtieth of one cent on each $100.00 worth of property 1 Could we afford this- vast increase in taxes? Absurdity of absurdities! and offered seriously to sane men. Better to have told us the truth at once, so much better, as we alrrady know. Another expressed excuse ior this course by the commissioners was the fact that they were told by at least eight good lawyers that they bad no right under the law and their oaths of office to rent these offices to the two lawyeis now In possession of them or to any other lawyers. The com- -, x .- , rnissi oners wished to show the?e eisjnt law yers that they could do it, right or wrong, and that they could not be tinfljj.iced'' by lawytrs ,rno how." Well, it is done at any rate, and the farm ers have been given a two by four" ruo tu up stairs inthe the court house, a room, lighted as it is with one window high from the floor, for. Mhich the farmers have; no conceivable I'M. ' .-; . " Have the 'commissioners the right to tax the people of the county against their will to pay thirty-eight thousand dollars, or nny .other sum as to that matter, for the bul'd iui of offices to lei.t their court house pets? The voters of the county hy a majority; of more than two to one voted down the pro- position to issue bonds for the building of a new com t house. IJLwas built ov er their proUsi and against their will and they ate taxed to pay for it. In this county the farmers are the people by a great majority. How now do they like for their commie sioners, attempting to exercise powers they do not have, to turn them out of their room to which they are surely entit led; and place therein two of the court house PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT ADDRESSING 40,000 PEOPLE ring pets? D the farmers and other tax payers wish to pay ta to build offices for private citizens and then on top of that pay for lighting, heating and sweeping those offices? The farmers of the county have for forty years, or more, kept in office members of the court house ring. They have been told bi-annually that the best interests of the county demanded the re-electiou of members of this ring. They have gone on accepting this advice as true and thinking iittle ahwut it, and saying nothing' until the ring assumes for itself all power. The door of the farmers'- room, put into the plan of the court - house and built there for that purpose, is slammed in the face of the farmers and turned over to two law yers, pets of tfce ring. But, say the com missioners, these lawyers are paying renf; Admitted. Others would have paid rent. They are good " men, affirm the commis sioners. Very good. There . are twelve other lawyers ii i town equally as good. Why, Messrs. Commissioners, did you not let the offices to the highest bidders, if you iuteiided taking them from the' board of education and the farmers, i..-ul.ai,r m , -Ing a private contract? Do you know iii.u others would not have given more for, the rooms? Surely all citizens ol the county were entitled to a fair chance to get the rooms. You placed these men in the rooms built for the board of education .and the farmers under a private contract to the exclusion of all ether citiztis tf lie cctrty, licnu they were pet3 of the ring and because you wished to place them in a favorable posi tion to help them in their profession. No sane man in the county will accept the ex cuse of the poverty of the county as valid, reasqnable or justifiable under, the circum stances. No lawyers in the county not even the two iu these rooms will contend that you had the legd. or in ral right uuder ihe law and your oaths of office to turn out the board of education aad the agricultural society and rent the rooms, by private contract, to these lawyers, or to any one else. -: :-. :- Beforee the court house was built the plan was adopted and displayed. These room? were marked out for the agricultural society aDd board of education. Were the farmers taxed against their will and dtcsived at the same time? They knew the plan of the court house and the location of their room. They acquiesced iu the. building of the court house believing they would have their room. Was there a purpose preconceived to deceive them? Or has it been decided since that the "rusty old moss-backs" must not be allowed to deface tiie beautiful new court house by scraping their hob-nailed shoes over the marble floor and spitting upon it or greas ing aid soiling the furniture with their Mirty c'othes?" . - Let us hear trom the farmers on this matter..- Now is a good time to expiess your wishes and your feelings. Faib Piit. Mill River's Showing. If we take the amount of mail as a crirerian of the crescent condition of any section of the country, one would readily conclud that Mills River is a thriving .nrl prosperous place. Not withstanding there are two R. F. D. lines running through the center of the Valley. The carrier on the R. F. D. No. 1 from Fletcher delivered and col leotrd during the quarter ending Sept 30, as follows: . Delivered 16,016; collected 5,644; can celation of stamps $109.17; stamps sold $80.26. And not one word of complaint, so far as I knoar. The free delivery system is certainly a wonderful improve t.fc on the starline system. Oct. 12 190"). APATKON. Frightful Suffering I&eliercd.
