Friday, May 17, tqo'j
Elsewhere in this issue will be
found an article by Mr. R. H.
Salsbury in reply to the editorial
and the news item published last
week* We do not care to enter
into a lengthy argument with Mr.
Salsbury upon this question, but
wish to throw further light upon
the matter, which we refrained
from doing last week.
Mr. Salsbury had lieen led to
pledge himself in favor of Green
ville before corning to the last
meeting of the commissioners, and
from his actions at that meeting
was trying to get the other two
commissioners to side with him,
thus giving a unanimous vote in
favor of the location of his choice,
but when the other commissioners
opposed him and he found that lit
could not delivere the goods, lit
lost his equilihrum and allowed
himself to liecctne irritated. If he
had only pledged himself and not
the board, why did he become so
irritated and act with so little dig
nity when the opposition arose?
We do not know what Mr. Sals
bury's intentions were, therefore
we caufiol speak upon that score,
but we do know what his action.'
were, and the article in last week's
issue, (to use the words of tliost
present), "was absolutely correct".
"* ■ In lies Moines, lowa, a law suit
has l>een started over a goat thai
got upon a roof and ate some ol
the shingles, and then craned its
neck into a window and feasted 011
some clothing in reach. . Presum
ably the charge is that the goat
was living too high.
In wearing his hair pompadour,
Senatoi L,aJ f ollette gets the liesl
of his enemies because they. can
never tell when they have scared
him.
Chicago has a woman Justice ol
the Peace, and the papers are at n
loss to know what to call her. Win
not call her M uad 
The temperance move has been
started In earnest in this town, and
groups can lie frequently seen
discussing the movement.
If is a pjty that the writer ol
the article commending Mr. Sals
bury's action is employed by him.
If a brain-storm is conducive of
murder, what would a brain
cyclone result in?
"What is a Jkjsj£" jtska a New
York poetess. Is the lady from
Missouri?
We pay no attention to articles
that are not signed.
Here's to the new board ol
town commissioners.
May the work on the town
hall soon begin. *

•—Mad* by th® J. C. Ayr Co..
in regard to the resolutions, en
dorsing Washington, N. C. as tin
place for the Eastern Training
School, I desire to herewith slatt
the facts, in order that the pcoph
of Martin may understand my jvo
sition. lam accused of becoming
.Very indignant at Judge Hobbs
simply because he reminded me thai
it was not a personal matter ti|>oi>
which the l>oard was voting. Tilt
facts of this matter is, the Editoi
is publishing things which lie
not understand, thereby placing
me l>efore my |>eople in a wronp
'light. 1 wish to remind the Kdilot
that this was a personal matter in
one sense, and that each commis
sioner w as voting lus own personal
ipiuion, as a member of the board,
there having been nothing done
to ascertain the sentiments ol
the people. Therefore, the Kditoi
should think and understand things
more fully before placing any citi
zen it\ a false light. I did not
think that I had a right to vote
for it as a representative of tin
people. but as an individual mem
ber of the board. As long as I re
main in oflice 1 shall never vote
iway the rights of the people, be
fore ascertaining their sentiments.
Too much uf this kind of thjng
has already been done by public
officers. Some scent to think as
Vanderliilt does "THK PKOt'l.K HK
DAMNKI)" but 1 think that their
rights should l»e carefully
guarded. I wish to state that
1 did not become' indignant at
Judge Hobbs because he reminded
me that this was not a personal
inat'er, but I did liecome indignant
when he asserted that I was trying
to run the Iward. We had dis
cussed this matter pro and con foi
some time, each giving his .views.
Judge llobbs continually insisted
that I did not look at the matter in
the right way. I contended and
still contend that Greenville is the
most central point and a more
healthful place, and that we should
take a broad view' arid try to locate
it in the interest of all the, Eastern
Counties. After the vote had been
taken, and I had instructed our
clerk to draw up a set of resolu
tions, stating just how the vote
stood, two for, and one against.
Whereupon Mr. Hobbs said I
ought to sign it, and that it was
not a personal matter, but interest
ed the people of the county. I
Said that 1 would not, sign the res
olutions, as it would make it a
unanimous vote. Then was when
lie remarked that I was trying to
run the board, and continued to
talk upen the subject, detaining
ttie from my other duties. Ins
tead of me trying to run the board,
it looked verv much like Judge
Hobbs was trying to run it. It |
was very necessary that I proceed ;
rapidly with the work in order to
clear it up that day, this I could
not do as Judge llobl>s continued
to make remarks about the matter,
which lia l been laid aside. 1
therefore asked Mr. Hobbs to stop
talking or leave the room. I re
market) to Mr. Hobbsjliat I would
not dare go in his office and un
necessarily detain him from his
regular duties.
With the strain of our regular
work, we bad in connection, to
draw the jurors, to hold the meet
ing of the sanitary board, county
superintendent te be elected, and
uumerous other things. There
fore I was not in a eoudition to
take an insult without resenting it.
I regret the difficulty very much,
as I have always held a great es
teem for the Hon. Judge Hobbs,
and did all I could to get him first
nomiuated for clerk. I have al-
way* done my duty, and tried to
do what I thought was right for
the interest of the- people and I
trust they will see this matter in
the proper light, though if I should
be condemned for it I would say
away with all offices, if I must sit
and be dictated to by any one.

To the Interested People of Mae
tin County
Since the condemnation of Mr
Salsbury in last week's issue, we
should rejoice, not because our
honorable chairman was wrongful
ly condemned, but because we had
him as a protector of the good peo
ple and their right. now does not
this make you proud of him ?
tfhen you see he so faithfulh
stoqd by us, and saved our rights
Just think of it, he was the onl>
one of the three who thought of
and regarded that graud article in
our constitution, "equality and
tights". He, our honorable chair
man regarded ami saved our righfc
liccause he knew he had no au
thority to deprive us of them.
Good jieople renienilier w«
should staml by him as he did us.
we should show him the same res
liect he showed us* Judge Hold*
afortiled the chairman that it wa
• lot a personal consideration. n«w
,oti set* where lie (the condemned)
>vas doing the rip.bF~thjng exlfttlv
it slionld be supposed he gaveopin
ion only, In'canse he did not know
the sentiment of the j>eople. It il
U the duty of Martin County t«>
cast a decisive vote, theu then
■diould he a convention heldtogivi
the whole county a right for equal
i (.-presentation. We infer from last
week's reading that there was onlj
i few present during the discussion
md they were people of' Williams
ion and nearby i>oinls.
Now besides extending our res
pects to our protector, we should
remember the Kx-Governor, the
originator of this noble action.
Thinking this matter should be
enreefully studied, I am a well
wisher for a situation suitable for
our much prized, hoped for institu
tion.

[Mr. Burroughs, the writer of
llie above, is a young man about
19 or 20 years old, we have lieen
informed, and is employed by Mr.
Salsbury. The ex-Governor whom
he refers to was not, the originator
of the "noble, act inn". This honor
belongs primarily to the man that
suggested or started the move to es
tablish the Greensboro Normal, for
at that time it was suggested that
two such schools should lie estab
lished, one in the West and one in
the East, this man is our present
Lieutenant-Governor Then comes

Three ways are used by farmers
for curing and preparing their to
bacco for the market; namely sun
cured, air cured and flue cured.
The old and cheap way air
cured; the later discovery and im
proved way is called flue cured.
In flue curing the tobacco is taken
from the fields and racked in barns
especially built to retain heat and
there subjected to a continuous high
temperature, produced by the direct
heat of flame Heated flues, which
brings out in the tobacco that
stimulating taste and aroma that
expert roasting develops in green
coffee. These similar processes give
to both tobacco and coffee the cheer
ing and stimulating quality that pop
ularizes their use.
The quality of tobacco depends
much on the curing process and the
kind of soil that produces it, as ex
pert tests prove that this flue cured

tobacco, grown in the famous
mont region, requires and takes less
sweetening than tobacco grown in
any other section of the U nited States
and b" a wholesome, stimulating,
juicy, full tobacco taste that satisfies
tobacco hunger. That's why chewers
prefer Schnapps, because Schnapps
cheers more than any other chewing
tobacco, and that's why chewers of
Schnapps pass the good thing along
—one chewer makes other chewers,
until the fact is established that
there are more chewers and more
pounds of tobacco chewed to the
population in states where Schnapps
tobacco is sold than there are in
