February 2nd, 1911 TBI HASH COUKTT -SALAIT" LAW, For several months past, through- oat Nash county, there has been general discussion of the matter of adopting the salary system for the various county official and sentiment in favor of this proposition so crys talued as to justify the action of the Nash County Democratic Executive Committee In allowing the people to register their wishes in the Novem ber election. The result of the vote is well remembered; there being over fifteen hundred votes cast in favor of the salary system whereas only a very small vote was polled in favor of a continuation of the fee system, The question was not an issue in the campaign and the officials made no fight against either of the proposit ions, leaving the voters to express themselves as they saw fit. This was mainly due to the fact that very few if any of the voters, nor the candi dates themselves, entertained the idea that such a law if passed by the legislature would be made to apply to the present officials, but would be put in full force and effect at the expiration of their term and would regulate this question for all those who came out before the people seeking any of the offices at the hands of the voters. Since the ques tion of salaries or fees was not an issue in the last campaign as it was in Wake and other counties of the State, The Graphic believes it ex presses the sentiment of a large ma jority of the voters and tax-payers of Nash when it takes the position that it would be in a measure unfair to the present county officials were a salary statute passed by the legis lature which would be made to ap ply to the men who went into the primaries and election and made no fight against the proposition. There is some question as to whether such a law, if made effective at once, contested by the officer interested would hold, at any rate it would force them to contest the matter, ' and this position The Graphic feels sure, none of the county officials de sire to occupy and would feel loath to enter. " A bill has been drawn and will be introduced in the legislature within the next few days by Senator Tborne which will place the officials of Nash ' county oa the salary basis. Senator Tborne1 and Representative Corn- well are seeking all the information pertinent to such a law as is avail able and nave written quite a num ber of letters to citizens throughout the county, the court officials and those who nave made the govern ment of Nash a dose study. A feat ure of the bill awaiting revisal be fore introduction is the matter of leaving the salaries of officials to be fixed by the County Commissioners. 1 " - ri-tter should be settled by the ! ' t jreand it is for, this Reason C " ;r Thome is trying to arrive r 4 3 f "i ss will erase I.. i C i tie i .J.t Hang by the of f Ifac- y. . r ' ; " "!, and a serious il L"l is tla cro 5 tD te C7 it : tf I" 2 3 i ' r ' duties "which are now mainly the du ties of the County Commissioners and the Grand Jury, There is no necessity for the office of an "audi tor" at a stipulated salary, which would necessarily incur additional expense of possibly several hundred, if not one thousand dollars a year. There is not a banking house in Nash county handling the funds ef the county that could not keep full ac count of all moneys coming into their hands and render such reports as may be required under the law or at the suggestion of the County Com missioners. At such times during the year as would be necessary it would be an easy r matter for the County Commissioners to secure the services of a competent accountant to perform this duty and at a cost not exceeding 125.00 for each service rendered. Senator Thome's bill should not carry with it the appoint ment of an "Auditor," unless this power is given to the Board of Coun ty Commissioners to secure the ser vices of such as conditions warrant, Another matter regarding putting the county officials on a salary basis and one that has and is being dis cussed, is the question whether or not the office of Treasurer could be abolished entirely and the necessary expense of this office aggregating something like fifteen hundred dol lars annually, saved to the tax-payers or at least made available for road or other purposes. The argument is advanced, and it is indeed a strong one, that the various banking houses of the county or any one of them are in every position to handle the funds of the county, giving good se curity for same, furnishing such re ports as may be required of them and without a cent of cost to the county. Since the Sheriff of the county is responsible for every dol lar collected and wherever he elects to deposit the funds of the county or schools, the same responsibility he shifts from himself would naturally be placed upon the bank or banks handling these funds. If this can be done, and there is reason to be lieve this is easily possible, the ques tion of abolishing the office of treas urer is one that has every appear ance of being a wise step to be taken Since this matter is soon to be set tied by the legislature and as it is one that concerns considerably the in terestsof the tax-payers and the men who have served the county faithfully and acceptably, and the fact that the action of the law makers is to play an important part in connection with the future prog ress of Nash county, every precau tion should be taken to make such legislation as may be enacted re dound to the interest of the county and accomplish the ends desired and sought. The regular attendance upon the services at the various churches in Nashville and especially the Sunday Schools, evidences the fact that our people have a high regard for the church and its institutions, and speaks in thunder tones of our high stand ard of citizenship. Possibly no town its size in the State can boast of larger per centage of church-going people. Especially gratifying is the fact that the young people set the pace for the older folks and on each Sunday morning can be seen large crowds of happy, smiling children wending their way to the Sunday Schools at the call of the bells. If Nash county is to have reform along the line of saving in the mat ter of salaries for the county officials let it be reform in earnest. However the people are not in favor of the salaries being placed too low and thus debar competent , and trust worthy public servants. Pay what ia reasonable, but because it is pub lic money there should be proper safe-jruard of public interest. ; Those of Nashville's citizens who invested their cash in Albemarle real estate about" year ago find themselves "flimflamed" out of their cash, as it seems the whole propo sition was of the "gold brick" na ture. It is said the supposed prop erty they purchased is not trace- e in or near Albemarle. Nash- just surrost wi did this. Some of Nashville's business men make a practice of sending their Job printing away to offices in other counties, possibly because in some instances a little "cut" price can be secured on this or that little job. Say, Mr. Merchant, had you ever stopped to think of it that The Graphic, Its force and all connected with this office spend more in Nash ville among the business men than that outside fellow will ever spend here in a life-time? Had you thought of it that The Graphic has for more than sixteen years advertised Nash ville and every interest in the town as has no other agency, and has la bored directly' and indirectly for your interest, that of your family, your town and Nash county . more than it is possible for your "cut price" man to accomplish with his little "cheap John" shop? Is it right for you to send your money away from home for those things so easily secured here? Suppose The Graphic should editorially urge Nash ville citizens to order all their neces sities from Sears-Roebuck & Co., be cause they "cut the price," would you not raise a howl. Suppose we advocated people sending to mail order houses for all their wearing apparel and other articles you carry in stock? Would you not raise strenuous kick. Why then will you persist in a course wholy inconsist ent with the ideas of any right thinking man. An exchange hits the nail on the head when it says, "the merchant or business man, pri vate citizen or what-not who sends his money away from home for those things he can so easily secure right at home is not only setting a bad ex ample for those whom he expects to trade with him but is a dangerous man to his own town and communi ty." Stick to your home enterprises especially those that have labored for the best interests of you and your town. If any of these new counties pro posed to be created by the legisla ture are to add to the number 'pauper counties" now sapping the State, in the interest of those coun ties now forced to take care of the pauper sisters" the legislature should set down on these new county propositions with a vim. riaJa Test Writes atfaia. F. W. Wheless and A. A. Drake have formed a copartnership and opened a grocery store on the Ar lington corner. We extend to them a hearty welcome and wish them success in their new venture. Rev. G. W. May and Mr. Oscar Creech and many others were in at tendance at the Swift Creek Union held at Pleasant Grove Saturday and Sunday. Notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather the at tendance and services were good. Misses Minnie Bone and Ida Win stead, the efficient and popular teach ers at Philadelphia Academy, were pleasant visitors ' among Castalians last Saturday and Sunday, attending church and returning in the after noon. It is said some of our bach elors were deeply impressed. . i Castalia School is arranging an in teresting program for the night of the 21st of February. There will be both vocal and instrumental music, recitations, etc. These attractions will be given free while boxes pre pared by the ladies will be sold to the highest bidders, not to exceed $1.50 per box. A bill is being prepared and will be introduced in the legislature this week allowing the voters of Castalia township to vote on the proposition to float bonds to aid in the construc tion of a railroad to this place. They are also anxious to vote a bond issue sufficient to work and improve our public roads. We have roads equal to none and need a railroad.
