March ,9--The Repre sentative rom Henderson county recommended j. P. Whitaker for ap- nnintmpnt an n member of the County Board of education. The Legislature appointed J. Foy Justice The Representative from Hender son county'this" morning read to the House, and sent to the Speaker's fcesk, to be entered with the House Journal, the following protest: "In the exercise of my constitu tional right, I do protest against the passage of the bill appointing members of the County. Board of Education. It is unfair and undem ocratic ' that such appointments should be made (as in Henderson county) in directviolation and dis regard of the wishes of a vast ma jority of the people concerned. ,It is an indignity which free people 4cannot and will not endure without ' a protest; and in the name of the x people of my county, who are the .equals of the people of any county iof the State. I enter my protest against this indignity. "TJie man who has been appoint ed is a good man and my personal friend; but he is not the choice of the people of my county; and it is, everlastingly wrong that he should be appointed. "I ask that this protest be entered upon the journal. .': (signed) G. H. Valentine, Representative from Hendersoij County." HIGH PRAISE OF GRANTS WORK In our issue of February 12, we published an announcement Qf a meeting to be held the fol lowing Monday night, February 15, for the. purpose of making public expression of appreciation of the great services rendered tn this community by Hon. John G. Grant in obtaining the author ization for bur handsome post- office building. As our readers i know, the meeting was not held, because Mr. Grant was too sick to be present; and the expres sion of appreciation was later made at hia home by a contmit- tee selected for that purpose. But some of our subscribers in other courities,oh seeing the announce ment that a meeting was to be hM wrote to Mr. Grant to ex press their own feelings in the matter. Two of those letters were' from Congressman Britt and Mr. Walser. They are as follows: jl Merchandise Gamble You know the mepf.whp, arc in business in this community.

Of course you are not. But you are doing that very same thing with people you do not know when you send your money to the mail-order houses of the cities., You have only a picture or a brief description of an article from which to determine its value. After you have sent your money you must trust to the intpllio-pnre of a noorlv Daid bov or cirl to send 1 you in return the merchandise you want. The people of this community who persist in dealing with the mail-forder houses are doing both tnemseives ana uus town an mjusucc.

C.j My dear Sir: I notice that the people of Hen dersonville propose on next Mon Hnw Fph 1S. to thank vou nublicly for the Goverument Building there.1 This is as it should be. You justly merit this expression of tpprecia Hnn T have alwavs spoken of that building as your monument; and it is a lasting monument to your fidel tv 4nri lnvaltv to vour home ueo- pie and their interests as well as to the influential position you nem among your" fellow-Congressmen. It is very questionable whether there is another town, or city if you please, in the United States with no larger population than Henderson ville had when you obtained the appropriation, that has a fine 000 public building like yours. Under these circumstances, it would have been impossible to get the appropriation without having strong influence -in Congress to back you. I regret that I cannot be present in person on the occasion, but as sure you that I will be there in anirit nd dood will, and that every word of praise spoken in your be half will meet with my cordial ap- nrnval. " . , . , , . With sincerest good wisnes ior all choicest blessings on you and yours. . Truly, your inena, F. T. Walsen. Statesville. N.CFeb'y 13,1915. Mr. Grant was a member of the' Public Buildings committee. Mr. Thomas, representing another district of this State, was also a member of that committee. Thus North Carolina alone of all -the States, had two members on that important committee. Mr. Grant, who had more influence in the House than most . Southern Con gressmen. ' proposed ;to .Mr. Thomas that they should; ignore rjolitical differences and pull to gether for North Carolina, which they did. ;.
