The fol'iuv.’inp: two topics have been
officially selected for distusssoii in lo
cal unions.in February: "Wliat is the
^ff£Ct of tits mercliant’s crop lien law
on the working farmer?'’ “To what
esteii'c shots Id we increase or decrease
acreage of various crops this year,
30 as to secure greater profits and
make our farmers self-supporting?’'
It is hoped that every local will dis-
cu.^s these .subjects. The State Coun
cil cf the North CJarolina Farmers’
Union in Raleigh lastt week decided to
cantor attention upon four big issues
now before iiie General Aaacm’uly, 55
follows: Kural Credit^, Land Segrega
tion betw^een the Races, Sepeal of the
Crop Lien Law, and a statute govern
ing Co-operative Societies. The Un
ion will .')lso urge Confess to adopt
the Hollis-Bulk.'ey bill, and urges
farmers to demand a Terrens title
every time they get a deed from a
lawyer. The Union fertilizer con^
tracts this year are handled by Capt.
W. B. Gibson, Statesville, to whom all
inquiries ^ould b« s^nt.

Burlington, N. C.
Sir.—
t ssR in The Burlington New's a
staitement that the salary system
of ,Alamance County showed a profit
of $4,000 for 1914, and a loss of
about ?1,000 in 1913. As I haven't
a copy by me, I can’t give you ths
figures, hut as I recall it, the sheriff’s
ofiSce only collected about $145 in fees
in 131-3 as per report and over |3,fi00
in fees in 1914. As this sjCtSVy law
was in effect in 191S as well as 1911,
I fail to understand this. I wish you
would publish this statement and any
explanation that you can obtain, for
the benefit of us Tax Payers, who
are so dense thct we can’t understand
how this differences could ba. l«t’s
cut off the Treasurer’s job as the
hanks will handle this for nothing,
and put this money on the roads.
Yours truly,
A Land Owner and Tax payer,
