The fart* aa hereinafter act ant are the true one* and I aak that jr<«o give this article the mum prominence aa that |ive« the pieritma one in rela tion to thia subject. "Sometime during the ttU aaaaion of the lefialalare, Mr. 1. K. Foljrer. ■Xt. A. D. Folirer and Mr. H. H. Lew ctlvn Srought a Mil to Raleigh pro viding that the recorder, the aoliritor ind the clerk of tha recorder's court be placed upon *alarira, (the amount* of which I do not now reaMmher), and providing farther that the term uf office of tha recorder he hImM from two to four year*. Thia bill waa introduced by Mr. R. H. Barker. Rrpreaentabve of Surry County, and refer led to tha proper Hou*e com mittee. Upon being adviaed of the content* of the bill by one of the forejrotn* gentlemen, t do not recall which one, I rxprraaed my oppoaition to the bill. I gave a* my reaaon* that I did not believe it wan riyht to cit-nd the lens of tdllce to four year* when the people had elected the official* to a term of two year*. i>nd the further fart that at the time there wai a pomibility of establish «n« a county court and if thia ware done I thourht the salarie* provided for were too high. Then it waa that the great diaaativfnetion with the prin*ary in Mount Airy and the con iw.juent disruption of the Democratic party waa urged upon me.'' After •"uch d'mutirn and at tha request of Mr. A. D. Fulger. Chairman of the Democratic Executive Committee, It wa* agreed that a new bill providing for the appointment to be made by the Governor frr a term of four year* •hould be drawn.

"It wa* my intention to answer your article in the edition of your paper for the weak following the one in which the story appeared. Thia was not done for the reaaon that 1 did not want to do anything to inter fere with the chance* of tha Dan era tic party. Mr. A. D.
