Winston Cook, now in the egislature at Raleigh will no loubt be read ' with consider able interest by the people of Ijlison County: . I 'Raleigh, N. C, Feb. 15, 1925. Mr, H, L. Story, Marshall, N. C, pear Sire if V ; May I acknowledge through your paper the many letters from my friends in Mad ison? ; It would be almost im possible to give a direct reply to each and all. I appreciate vthe many suggestions and will give the greatest consideration to all requests. j J am enclosing a list of all cftmmittpps and asW that vnn on pensions. . The western Representations are trying to get together on a uniform game law. v; I am informed by lawyers and judges that no law can be enacted to remedy the situa tion in regard to j captured liquor cars where they are un der mortgage. The innocent holder of the mortgage must be protected and unless it cap be shown that the mortgage is fictitious there is no recourse. .The " Chowan River? bridge; has passed the Senate1 and in dications are ' tfeat?itwut rpa8S ine nouse nexBweeK. ! . n .

The vote, was 25 to 21. I will op pose this bill in the house be cause it lays a heavy burden on the class least able to carry it. I have canvassed the Minority Members and they will all op pose it. '- v The banking bill requiring ail banks to contribute 2 per cent of deposits to a depositors guarantee fund to make good the failures was' killed in the Senate Committee. The1 bill prohibiting loans to one individual; in excess of 10 percent of capital and surplus hivm also be killed I think. The -most important ? State iWide measure for Madison is he Equalization Fund law rec- mmended by the commission A 1 A- S -A i. - . A ipreaieu w inveaugaie mat ma er byjlne last legislature. As raws it provides a State fund it i-Jver two millions for each fcf the iiext,f two years. , Our share will amount to about. forty thousand dollars. If tfie bill passes I will mail you the copy. Of course I'll do what I can to boost it for it is the onlv salvation of small counties. My bill tov reduce the tax in lieu or road work from $10 to $8 has been ratified. Likewise a bill to increase the salary of our tax collector to $2000. ,1 trust that no one will criticize this measure. It was " sup ported by a very strong petition and I don't believe that this work, when separated Jrom the Sheriff's office, can be 'carried on with profit for any less.. The bill recommended by the commissioners, which regu lates haulmg lumber., logs, and other heavy" material over the roads, has been ratified. My bill to repeal the Freez land Road the most import ant local measure was killed in the house committee. Of course this was due to stroncr opposition from Madison folks and others and the fact that many failed to send me peti tions, There will be no more salary increases if 1 can prevent it. You may have any or all of my bills for print at the. close of tne session ana u you . desire copies, of any. state , wide meas ures I will send them to you. - I , am expecting- a list of names for Justices from Mr, West and all other names will also be submitted. . If you desire other informa tion write me. f 1 ' ",. , Very truly yours, v WINSTON COOK Not Ashamed Of Calling The ' Tithe Preacher ANSWER T O REV. W. B. SPRINKLE'S ARTICLE " .v Mr? Copk'a name appears on me iouowing committees Commltteeaolft- law we collect one-tenth of your income." Foolish, silly, un3criptural opinion. I give any reader of this paper the privilege of writing to Brother Sprinkle, at South Green street, Morganton, N. C, and ask him for the three letters I wrote him, or ask him to publish the entire discussion, and also how it ended a decision by him to exclude me from the church, because I would not agree with his teaching, and live up with him, contrary to my honest con viction. He even went far e- nougn to can me oeiore a council, but failed, as the church killed his move. I would to God that all laymen would awaken to their duty, and study the word of God for themselves, and cast aside the opinions of the educated and refuse to be influenced and led by the dictations of the clergy. Leave off the worship of the preacher and worship God. The clergy has already over-j shadowed the laymen with false teaching, just as. the prophets had the children of Is rael when Ezekiel appeared on the scene; M. C. RADCLIFF Atheville, N. G, R. F. D.

The cry of a starving child should appeal to anyone. NorthCarolina is responsible for the lives of 2083 orphan children. Madison County is" called upon to support nine, or to raise $540. This is a small sum for each one if all would help. Mr. Hendricks has asked the editor of this paper to send out through these col umns this appeal. The posi tion Mr. Hendricks holds re quires a great deal of time and thought, for which he receives no compensation. We gladly pass the appeal, on without compensation. Let everybody respond.

For such a wonderful cause as this, with all its com pensation to us who actually sacrifice for these children, your quota is most considerate. These children need help now as well as next spring.
