This will carry with it the privilege of your friends writing short letters in your behalf. We would like to ask the Engle, the ofliciul organ of the Court llo'ise King and the claim speculutors of the county, it it is not a fact thur about the time the legisla ture of 1901 met, there was a conference held in the office of l'ritchard and Rollins, between Sen itor Pritchard. 1. n. Kollms, Chairman of the Republican Executive Committee of the district and County Attorney. L N. Ebbs Representative from Mail .son county, John A. Hendricks Chairman Republican Executive Com uiittee of the counti , the Board of County Commissioners of M a d i a on ctunty. together with some claim ho ders against tne county, in rcierence 10 lunumnunK n petition to Uie ijenerai nsseinuij bhkiu for special taxes of 1-0 on each poll am 40e on l.W) worth of property? And if it is not a fact that T 8 Rollins, attorney for the Board of CommiiiHioneni did not have drawn upon his typewriter, a petition to the Oenernl Assembly asking r 1 . l i t r t I? 1 I. . I lor ancn lax, wmvn xu. unium u W. S. Kice, who make a majority of the Board of County Commissioners adopted in open session, copies 01 wnicn pennon was forwarded to the representative of Madison county and the senators of this distri t? And if i is not a fact that a bill wis prtepared in almost the exact terms of the pe ition-and if a copy 'of the same was not introduced in the Lower House by the representative of Madison county, which afterwards became a l.iw ? "I, R. S. Ramsey, sberifl of Madison county, certify that I have collected f 278.G9 taxes during he month of June 1902. July 7, 1902. R. 8. Ramsey, Sheriff." The above amount being all of the taxes that were collect :d during the month of June and the law re- . . . , ... 1 n 1 quiring tuo snerin to maae irnai settlement 00 or by the first Mon day in May of each, year would in' dicate that nearly all of the taxes of tbe county hse already been collected. The law requires the sheriff to make a sworn statement ot the amount of taxes he has on hand on the first Mqnday in every month and if he lias, hs much as three hundred dollars on hand lor a longer time than ten days he is liable for 2 per cent, per month for all such amounts so hold by him. These f sots hsve been stated in Tbe Record time and agiu and there can be no ovei-siRht in the failure to make such report". Now, let us sen how this matter iv .The CO cents on the poll nq the 20 cents on each one hundrtd doUars worth of . property op the amouut of property in Madison county raises 5930.09 at nhown by the abstract now on file in the hcister of deeds office. This being tbe levy that was" made to "pay on the old oVbts of the oonnfy, or in the interest of the? claim pecula tor 7 - li our Kaders til reler back to the treasurers reports for several month as printed ia The Record, they will find that there has been paid in- out of the above levy seve ral moat hi ago the sum of 12000.00, which leave he sum of $3936.99 of that levy not accounted tor. No, the question that the tax payer ot the county have a right to know is whether that money has been collected or not. If it has been collected and has been in the sheriffs hands for more than ten days he ii liable for 2 per ceat. per has been in his bond? and if it has not been collected the people have a right to know it. But we presume that our GIANT COMMISSIONED are loo busily engaged in politics to give the matter any attention and the Eagle is too much afraid tor the people of the county to know anything about where the money is if it could prevent it. But we expect to still l-eep calling for tbe verified statement of the shnrifi until 'he lav is changed that requires him to make such statement even if the Eagle does cry peraeouti :m of good county officers. All we ask of the ctiunty offievrs is to make their reports and keep their accounts as required by law and theu we will give the reports and accounts to the people ju-t as they are Vuade without auy comment and the people can be their own judges about things. But if the reports aro not made hW can the people know h"w these matters are. We would like to ask The Eagle, the mouthpii ceof the Court House Ring, if that 18936.09 hts been collected and if it has been collected, how long has it been coll cted and in whose hands has it been all the time and why it is thit tbe GIANT COMMISSION ERS do not collect the 2 per cent. per month uii the sa.ne as required by law. Oue of the great causes of uu necessary co.t to Madison and one of ths most fruitful sources of crime in the county is the manner in which the solicitor's office hao been run the most of the time for several vears It has been a cus tom in the county part of the lime to allow guilty partie s who were indicted in tne courts to escape without puuishment on condition that they would make a certain number 61 cae?s agaiust other eople.09 the price, of such releuS' ing, ana tne county wouia ottea have to pay the cost in cases thus allowed to be d sposed of. Tne consequence wa9 that tne county would have tbe cost to pay iu mauy of the cases thus brongnt in and so Ihe accumulation of cost was immense in a short time. If the good peop'e will look after ihe mutter and see that no man is indicted that ought not to be pun ished aud when he is indicted, then if the solicitor will have every case nvestigated in open court, crime will soon be reduced till the county will be able to pay the running ex penses and at the same time reduce the indebtedness of the county everjryear. But if matters are allowed to go on as they have been iu tbe past by allowing the solicitor to I urn eutlty men lose by the dozen for no other purpose than to get more ... . cases ana tne custom 01 political heelers coming from all parts of the county to practice law belore the solicitor is kept up the county will uever be jn any better shape than it is now. There is only one way to conduct the solicitor's office according to lair: that is to indict just such cases as ought to he prosecuted and ,. punished for the public good aud when such a man I convicted then lot the judge pass on the amount of pnnishmeut that ought to be pu on him, then the people will have some respect tor the law. If a mau ought to bt let off on tbe cost, be ought not to have been indicted for if there were to be a failure iu the convic tion the county pays the cost sad if he is convicted all the good it does is to fixe the officers their fees and boys of 'the country have aa example of how easy it is to get out of court and the eouseqtrenee is that they go and violate tbe law expecting to get out of It just as the man did who ot out- upon payment of-, the cost. We hope that it ia a thing of the past in Madison county that rases should be brought in- the courts with no other idea tban for tbe fees that the officers can get out of it. How do you like Dr, Roberta ran 11 led primary. It looks like it would work alright, provided that the doctor turns the crnk. - Transylvania republicans have indorsed John A. Hendricks ns a candidate for judge of tliH loth district. John is long haired and long legged, but past experiences indicate ihat he is rather short winded on a judicial race. John L. McLaarin of South Carolina hns declined a district judgsh'p offered by President Ro sevelt on the grounds (hat it is charged thi-.t the radicals bought him with this job. Just as well take the job, Johny, tho p.-ople are satisfied about the selling. The primary p'an ol Dr. Roberts ., is a great '"joke on Uie primarv system. It will no doubt serve the purpose of the few, though. Ad Important Question As it is a vpry important ques tion to Madison county as to what is to be done with ttte debt of the countv and as The Record Iuir stated its position in reference to paying off these old speculation debts we again state our position to be as follows : That is to pay the claim holder hack tho money that he paid for he claims togethor with legal in terest on the iioney invested for such time as it has been invested and upon payment of that amount let the claim speculator surrender his claim against the county. As a large proportion of the clai-ns were .originally purchased at 2o centf in the dollar and less the county could son get its in debtedness so reduced that it would not take everything the people can get up to pay the interest on thr debt. It seems to ns that the claim speculators ought to be satisfied with their money back and legal interest and at the same time it would be lair to the tax paers. We would like to ask The Eagle, the mouthpiece ol the Court House Ring and claim speculators of the countohow it. stands on this ques tion. Now, neighbor you had just as well answer this question for it is a question' that tho people are going to know how you stand on and you need not try to get out of answering it by trying to cry persecution of good county othcors. We notice that Editor Miller of (he Hickory Press has been ap pointed a brandy guager. This is considerable "drap" from the Hickory post office which lie ex pected to get, but no doubt the brandy business suits this camp follower the best. If Johnv would get a few more pecihratiPiiB 011 Jeter's federal court manouvers he would no doubt get a promotion. Nit! The State Convention was a very large and enthusiastic one an was composed of the best manhood ol the State. It is reported in the town that, it is contended by some that the title lo the rjublic school proper'y of the Marshall public district never was good and that the prop erly is now out of the possession of the school authorities. The patrons of the d'strict are anxious to know how tbe matter is. It is the duty of the board of education to investigate the matter and let the people know whether they have possession of the property or whether it is in the possession of private individuals. This is too important a matter to bt go uy default. VERD ITEMS. Verd, N. C , July 17.Aa I am a rader of Tbe Record aud love to peruse its pages, I thought I would write a few dots from Verd.
