MORE LETTERS ON SALARY PLAN. The People Everywhere Approve Sug gestion That Countv Officers be Put on a Stated Salary?The Plan Will Help Schools. Mr. S. S. Holt, Smithfield, N. (J. Dear Sir:?I take great pleas ure iu endorsing your letter in last week's Smithfield Hekald I spoke to several people iu re gard to the proposition and there was not a dissenting voice. 1 am sure there is not an office in the county but what could be filled just as well as they are at present, for a smaller salary than you mention in your letter. There are plenty of good sober young men well qualified to fill any position in the county, who dare not ask for the office be cause it takes so much money to secure a nomination. I would be glad to see the offices put in the hands of the County Commis sioners and let them hire good competent men to do the work, and then we might save $10, 000 instead of $5,000 to put in the school fund, which amount would help our schools consider ably. Our public schools are far short of what they ought to be, because we have not sufficient money to build houses, to make us able to pay better salaries to teachers. Our public school teachers are not qualified to do the work and we cannot better the condition until we pay them salaries to justify them to pre pare themselves to do the work. As soon as a man is prepared to teach public schools, he can get a job all the year round at as good salary as we can give our public school teachers for only part of the year. We ought to pay our second grade teachers from $30 00 to $40.00 per month and our first grade teach ers from $40 to $50 per month. We can never get good teachers at present prices. 1 hope to see a general move ment for Legislation to put| county officers on salary and to place our public schools on a mucn higher basis. Our people need education. I am, Very truly yours, J.J. Rose, Reasley, N. C., June 22, '06. Pass the Resolution. Mr. 8. S. Holt, Smithfield, N. C., Your letter in The Herald in j regard to reducing fees for the four best offices in the county i not only meets my approval but | meets the approval of almost every man in the neighborhood, and the resolution should be passed by all means in our next! convention. Respectfully, J. W. Barnes, Archer, N. C., June 27, '06. People Commend Suggestion. Mr. S. S. Holt, Smithfield, X. C., Dear Sir:?1 heartily appreciate j the suggestion you have propo- ? Bed in regard to the county officers. I think the people will commend the suggestion and support it by their votes. 1 commend you for bringing this important matter before the people at this time. Hope the people of the county will consider the question and vote for it at the coming Democratic County Convention. Yours, D. J. Wood, Meadow Township, June 25. No Dissenting Voice In the Open. S. S. Holt, Esq.. Sinithtield, N. C. Dear Sir:?If my opinion and efforts can have anything to do with carrying to success your proposition to reduce fees in the fat otlices of the county you shall have my hearty support. The best way in which it may be attained may yet allow of some discussion, but the ultimate ob ject aimed at is much to be desired, and in its promulgation you are eminently correct. I doubt there being a dissenting voice raised in the open. It is hard to conjecture what oiay be i said and done else where. Push. Yours truly, John M. Morgan. ! Benson, N. C., June 2ti, '0(>. One Candidate Approves Plan. Editor H khalu:?1 wish to say that I approve the plan of putting the county officers on reasonable salaries and turning all the surplus from their fees into the school fund.

I fully expeccted two years ago to ask the people for the office of sheriff this term, but as the time drew near to announce myself, I was undecided and finally stated | that 1 was not a candidate for the office. Since that time 1 have been urged by friends from every part of the county to an nounce myself. Had I known be fore that 1 was in demand for the place 1 would have been faith ful to the confidence of the peo ple and asked them for thenomi i nation, but 1 have stated to the other candidates that 1 would not be in the race and feel that in justice to them I should abide by that decision. I feel grateful to my friends for theirconfidence and if they think my name will 1 <*AA ...... .l ^ -u . ?uu auj onrugtu l/U LLie tlCKet, or my services are wanted in any part of the work of the coun ty, I will say this.

Nowell For Sheriff. Mr. Editor:?Itease allow me to say a few words in your valu able paper concerning our'can didate for Sheriff. I am 54 years old and have been a Democrat all my life and have never asked the good people of Johnston county to help me to nominate a man for any office, but I feel now that the Sheriff's office is a very important one. Therefore we should be very careful who we nominate for this office and now I sincerely ask the good people, my brother Democrats of this county to meet me at Smithfield the first day of Au gust and let's nominate Millard Nowell, of Selma, to this office, tie is a worthy man. I have known him for several years and I know him to be honest, sober and upright in every respect, and one of the best business men we have. I feel sure to say we will make no mistake to place him in this office. So let's ao it. Respectfully, Wesley Batten, Wilders Township. Owen H. Guion, of New Berne, Speaker of the House in the last General Assembly, has been unanimously nominated for Judge bv the Democrats of the Third Judicial District. RETAIL MERCHANTS ASSOCIATION Second Meeting Held Tuesday Nigh: - Objects of the Association?Near i | ly All Smlthfleld Merchants Members. The Ketail Merchauts Associa tion, which was organized here about June first, held its second meeting iast Tuesday night and adopted a constitution and lly Laws aud otherwise perfected the organization. The object of this association is to encourage industrial devel opment; bring about concerted action in the matter of executing the pure food laws; regulate, so tar as possible, the evils of freight rates, short weight and measure on the part of the manufacturers; protect its members from loss by reason of "dead beats" and un i scrupulous persons who buy goods with no purpose of paying for same, and to guarantee to i those deserving credit, as well as i those who do not, a proper credit rating. This will be the means of collecting money on j "bad account" and will operate | in such a way thatour merchants will be enabled to sell goods for less money, as they will not have to charge so many accounts up to "experience." ? 1 '? ? vjycij uinruauuisf nrui in town belongs to the association, except three and most of these will probably join at next meet ing. It will soon be so apparent that the association is a benefit to both seller aud buyer that it will receive the endorsement and encouragement of all honest buyers as well as all our mer chants. Sanders For Sheriff. Aside from being an upright citizen aud a man of high char acter, there are two considera tions, it sterns to me, which should influence us in electing men to fill the county otiices. These two conditions are party loyalty and personal tituess. It we give due regard to these con siderations we will rarely fail to put the right man in the right piace. The man whom 1 would nauiej for the next Sheriff of .Johnston! county appears spotless when viewed in the light of the above! mentioned considerations. A true Democrat, he has always stood faithfully by his party He has not been ostentatious in his ? service, but in a quiet way #has done the best he could for the cause of Democracy. He hasp never asked for reward in the i form of an office, but has been content to see others elected to | positions, his reward being the , couaeiousues of having put forth his best efforts in the service of his party. Not onlv does thi-i man ahjn.l the test of party loyalty, but he appears faultless when measured 11 by the criterion of personal fit ness- He is thoroughly compe tent to fill the position of Sherfff and if elected would give his best efforts to au impartial, energetic, 1 and intelligent performance of the duties of his office. This man who, in addition to being an upright citizeu and a man of high character, when viewed in the light of party loyalty and personal fitness ap pears so admirably fitted for the office of Sheriff, is Mr. A. M. j Sanders, a citizen of high char acter, a loyal Democrat, a man whom we can depend on for a conscientious discharge of the duties of Sheriff, and a represen tative Johnston County man who has always stood for those things which have contributed to the welfare and prosperity of the people of Johnston. Mr. Sanders would make a worthy successor of the able and efficient Ellington, and one of the best Sheriff's Johnston county has ever had. Walter Rand, June2G,190J. HAS STOOD THE TEST FOR 25 YEARS The old, original GROVE'S Tasteless Chill Tonic. You know what you are taking. It is iron and quinine in a tasteless form. No cure, No pay. 50c. THE NEWS FROM ARCHER. Mr. aud Mrs. Jno. S. Barnes, of Clayton, vi?ited relatives here Sunday. A Woman's Home Mission Society was recently organized at White Oak. Several of our people attended the Rally Day exercises at Cor inth last Suuday. Mr. and Mrs. Jno. R. Wood ard, of Micro, were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. J. K. Wall Sunday. The Archer boys will play Little River on the latter's grounds next Saturday after noon. With sincere regret we an nounce the illness of Mrs. David Boyett. We understand she has typhoid fever. Mr. Jas. M. Wall informes us he had cotton blooms June 24. Mr. Wall is one of the best farm ers of our community. Mr. J. W. Barnes had the mis fortune to lose one of the finest milcb cows in our vicinity last Tuesday. There is no known cause for her death; being found dead where she was gone for to be driven from the pasture. r\ 1 war people are discussing the different candidates now with a zeal and earnestness that means they want the best. Honeycutt for Register will carry the day here, though Mr. Canaday has some warm supporters. No well for Sheriff, we think, will have au easy victory. Dr. Hood is the man they want for Treasurer and for one of our County Com missioners we want Mr. J. W. Barnes, of Archer. Wilders hasen't been represented with an officer for some years and this time we think we are entitled to one. Mr. Barnes is amply quali fied for the duties of the place, and will, if elected, make au officer that old .lohnstou will never blush to remember. Mr. Barnes is ever foremost in every enterprise for the general welfare having done more for the cause of education than any man in the towuship. Therefore we beg all Democrats to help us nomi nate him on Convention day. W. L. S'l'ANCIIj. Juue 26, '06. AT THt CAPITAL OF BEULAH. Mrs. John U. High spent today (Wednesday) in Wilson. Mr. Theo.

One of our moat popular girls, diss Era Harden, returned home ast Friday from a three weeks risit to Dunn, Fayetteville and iodwin. The District Conference of the M. E. Church South, of the Kenly District meets with the church here next Thursday. We expect a large crowd and a good time. Mr. Wilcox could not begin his lectures Monday night asexpect sd on account of a storm, but ;ave his first lecture last night which made a fine impression. He is an able speaker and is advocating a good cause?tem perance?hence we expect much uood to be derived from bis talks.
