Selma Citizens Would Have On Hoard of County Commissioners S. P. Wood, J. Rufus Creech, I>r. .1. 1!. Stanley, RoyuU Hudson, L. F. Austin With tiie primary not far dis tant. Democratic citizens in the county are finding politics an in :creasinglv interesting topic for 1 conversation. Thoughtful consid ! oration is being given to policies and to the matter of candidates. 1! is conceded that the times de imand men with real ability for | every office and particularly for ; members of the beard of county !commissioners and for t!ia legis jlature. During the week a com ! municaiion comes to the Herald ifrum a Selma c'V'.z i. directed jio the dfmocrat*'* voters of John ston county in which are sug gested live men far county com missioners. These men will have a strong appeal to those who feel I that the board of commissioners should be composed of men with business acumen and constructive i mm y. I The: communication is as fol [ lows: “The time is rapidly approach ini'. when it becomes necessary to candidates lor the high county offices. From the taxpay ers’ viewpoint, -the most, impor tant office to be filled in the com ing election is that of county commissioner. Our county is upon the verge of bankruptcy, and this condition to a certain extent, is brought, about both by extrava gance and ineompetency. There fore. now is the time for every taxpayer to think, to speak. to act. to use all his influence and to do everything in his power to! aid and assist in the selection as candidates for county commis sioners the very best men possi ble. Candidates selected in the primary should be men who are: First: Men of ability, character and integrity. Second: Men of business ca pacity and experience, who have made a financial success in the management of their own af fairs. Fourth: Men who are in favor of rigid economy, cutting ex penses of county government to j the very bone. Fifth: Men who are in favor of tax reduction, and who will use every effort and influence to lift, the burden of excessive taxes upon real estate. Sixth: Men who will oppose; bond issues in every form, and; who will fight to the bitter end the increasing bonded indebted-: ness of the county. "We do not need any bankrupt! as county commissioners. Men! who have made a failure in life j in their own business affairs, are liable to make a failure in the administration of county affairs. The board of commissioners! should be selected, not on account of any political pull they have, nor exclusively on account of party service. “It is to be hoped that the, writer of this article will not; be criticized for suggesting to the Democratic party the names, of five men who are competent and capable of filling the office | of county commissioner with credit to themselves and to the great financial interest of John ston county, to-wit: 8.

And every taxpayer in John ston county could rest assured that not one dollar of the taxpay er's money would be misapplied or j misappropriated. “Mr. J. Rufus Creech is a suc cessful farmer living in Boon Hill township. Whenever Rufus Creech turns loose a dollar he squeezes it so hard the eagle squalls. And if elected to the board of county commissioners, he would do all in his power to enforce rigid economy in the expenditure of county funds. “Dr. J. H.

March 8. — rhe various steps in the growth pf legal education in North Caro lina are revealed in a 60 page orochure which has just been Drought out by Albert Coats, professor of law and director of :he Law School Association of he University of North Caro ina. It was chiefly In recognition of he ideas advanced in this pam phlet. then in manuscrip form, hat Professor Coates has award 'd a $2,750 fellowship by the Harvard Law School, the* high est within the gift of that school. With that fellowship Professor Joates is this year doing post graduate work at Harvard. The pamphlet, outlines the ransitions in legal education in 'forth Carolina from the colon al clays of the present—through lie private home, the private office, the private school and the nodern law school. Professor Coats, who teaches t course in criminal law and pro cedure in the University Law school, discloses the fact that he s now making an extended effort o organize cooperation in the icld of the criminal law and its idministration through studies peing carried on with the active lid of policemen and sheriffs, iudges and prosecuting attorneys pf city.‘county and state courts, md others engaged in criminal aw administration. The results pf these studies together wiih iludies now being carried on by .he Insliute for Research in So cial Science, the North Caro ina Conference for Social Wel fare, the State Board of* Char ties, and Public Welfare will rom time to time be brought to gether in the Institute of Crimi iuu uiw unicn win provide a medium for the continuous study of criminal lav/ and procedure as it is and as it, now works. Professor Coates holds that it is the Law School's business’"to train lawyers to see and under stand the structure of the society —its interests and activities and multiplying relationships; to pre pare them through this insight and understanding to state fairly and effectively the claims of each contending interest on its day in court; never to become the slave of a client nor sell out the law to him who has the mon ey to buy. to discover in the tu mult and the heat of clashing in terests the countenance of jus tice and so make the law the hope and not the despair of the people; ever to be mindful in the transactions of every days’ rou tine through the medium of ag riculture and industry, trade and transportation, commerce and fi nance, that a civilization is in the making and that though civili zation may be a by-product it is built by conscious indirection.
