Frightened at big store rents and many other

all such, and plunged around on the corner of
Main Street, next door to the City Eakery. The

get a dollars worth for a dollar every time. See
Jones. He wants the do!lar worse than any

THAT ROAD
FUND QUESTION
We are publishing in another
column a communication from
Sheriff Hewitt, in which he en
deavors to explain his position in
retaining possession of Hickory
Township Road Funds for some
time after they had been collect
ed; aiid after repeated request?
on the part of the Road Com
missioners that the money be
turned over to them for immediate
use in the work for which the
special tax had been levied.
The greater part of his letter
»f explanation deals with the re
lation of a depositor to the cash
ier of a bank, in which smiles
and good fellowship seems, in his
judgment, to be an important
factor; that he uses a certain bank
as his depository because that
bank is on his bond; that he will
deposit the county money ii
whatever bank will pay the great
est amount of interest on tht
average monthly deposits and so
on and so forth. Toe little Sher
iff makes many explanations that
are not pertinent to the auestior
that was at issue between the lit
tle Sheriff and this paper.
As to the supremacy of the
Sheriff over the County Commis
sioners and the County Treasur
er, that we leave to the gentle
men most concerned. Our con
tention from the beginning was
that the money collected from the
Hickory Township property own
ers through tne 20 cent special
tax for road making should be
available at once for the use in
tended, and not compel our road
Commissioners to pay interest on
borrowed money to meet current
expenses when our own money
was supposed to be in the hands
of the Couuty Treasurer.
That we have good reason for
our contention is evidenced by
the following quotation from "An
act to provide lor the improve
ment of the public roads of Cat
awba County, to revise the road
law for said county, and to vali
date certain bonds:''
'•Section 28. That whenever a town
ship road commission for any town
ship shall elect a treasurer, then it
shall he llie duty of the county treas
urer to pay over to such township
treasurer all road funds in his belong
ing to such township, whether from
sale of bonds or from taxes, and all
such road funds as shall hereafter
come into his hands."
From the above law it would
seem to us to be incumbent upon
the Sheriff and County Treasurer
to keep the road funds of such
townships that have a special road
tax separate and distinct from all
other moneys, not to be drawn
upon for any other purpose than
that for which ii had been levied.
We congratulate our little sheriff
on his praiseworthy interest in
our public schools, but are forced
to remind him that his position as
sheriff is purely ministerial; that
in our judgement he has no right
whatever to pay out one cent of
special road tax for State, School,
or any other purpose.
Presbyterian Church Notes.

tor began a series of sermons on

It is gratifying to see the in
crease in the Sabbath School, am
quite a novelty for the vacation
and hot weather season. It is
good that the increase is as mucl
among the adults as among the
children, if not greater. The
Sabbath School offers a wonder
ful stimulation to christian living
It is a kind of spiritual gymnasi
um for grown folks, as well as i
nursery for children.
