After the dinW rr. .vS Devitt, postmast In last week's News-Record Mr. Farmer states he could only surmise why I had printed the copv of a letter he received from Eyer & Company, New York. Mv reason for having the letter made public was. to show that the present Board of Commis sioners are neglecting the important duties of their office, and spending t Mr time at small petty persecutions. " course I agree with' Mr. Farmer ye condition existed before the ment of the pre.nt -,p ditions. Mr. Tenr'-s . with an interesting u, experiences a. of the many h ered, and th roads. Those t '.yi Mr. and M .-. F Mis. Robf . T M. Worle M.' er Sams, Mr. , i , Li Mi, John A. Hendriclcs, James Baley and an interesting ta k oi Calvin R. Edney. The briefs were read at length by Mr. Stuart and an swered by Mis Baley. A more or less heated discussion then followed, Mr. Guy Roberts being called down by the Court for continuing what the Judjre called a "political trick". The Judge declared that the matter would be decided by law and not by any speeches about Madison Gounty poli tics. After hearing some of both sides of the question he said that it was a case for the Supreme Court. But he admitted that it was a case that could not be postponed, as it was necessary for the listing of property for taxes to go forward at once. He, t therefore '.took citations by various lawyers and said he would give the ease immediate and careful study and report his decision not later than Tuesday, June 4. And the above decision is .the result of that study. , Me ed n e-ith of f e woi ds for Al' responded, 1 ii sing uch1 a .:.i ier ' s Mr. 1 orle made he 6 velop les a. id con ;e l ti e talks :ount of his tan sr. He told lshif5 he ad suif e aAv me,nt of the Board assumed office;, does ff n that Mr. Farmer will take v ... no kT on any matter tnat happen ed pnc d November, 1935? Since the present Board assumed office this particular Note has cost Madison County $450.00 Could any of t'.lis cost have been avoided? Most cer tainly, Yes! Here is how: County licanQppose we reverse it and see what we have? A Republican in State employment ts worth only one half of what-the , Democrat is paid. Let's bring the theory close home and see what 0e have. We have Mr. Farmer's son and daughter teaching in the public schools for only half the monev paid aipemocrat. Senator Plemmons said he got out of sick bed to come to Marshall to attend the Republican Rlally,; and is reliably reported as say ing he endorsed the movement to boy cott', t Democrats. Let's apply the theoryi(,to Senator Plemmons. He has a soitwho holds a high Engineering position with the State Highway Com mission. The theory says he's worth one '3$lt what we pay a Democrat.

C MUSICAL ENTERTAINMENT About all of the : commencement activities have been .fuUy covered In the AshevilUr daily papers. but it seems thst special mention should be riven the - entertainment given 6n Thursday evening by the Exoression and Music : departments. This enter tainment was presented in the form of a play;- an original jlay,"Moun tain Melodies", written b Neil Part ly of North Wilkesboro. The ptory of til? iiiay bekg a aeaual : to "A 4iood : 600,00 in Notes. nlv .enouefh was le Bargain",, which was presented earltyyied each year to , pay what was due Commissioners 'ould'havT bow.3 gS- C,f '?

Mr. Farmer tried to make it ap pear that Mr. McElrgy, as County Attorney, was negligent in approv ing the present Re-imbursement Con tract with the State but this con tract is identical to the ones that doz ens of other Counties have; it is per- iectiy good; we will get our money on the date it is due, IF we pay the State of North Carolina what is due :t every one knows that when two parties, or two men, owe each other, either of them is entitled to an off set, or counter-claim, if both debts are past due. This is exactly what the State is doing. She says in simple language, pay us and' we will pay I fail entirely to see the "raw deal'', that it is claimed is beng hand ed us in this transaction. Some folks are spreading tne word that the Sinking Fund Commission ought to have paid part of this f 130, 000.00 out of the Sinking Funds. There has been no money placed in tne sinKmft fund for these ?130,, er in the spring and. bringing in the characters of this day. was especial lv interesting to those who had seen the first play. A number of charac ters gifted in' music were brought in to the plav at the time of the weekly practice, presenting a number of in teresting folk songs. Between songs the driver's. Hence the minister was i the conversation of the older people .released and went on his way. He Was to be commended for the spirit he showed. Cross Rock School merged with Little Sandy Mush brought out some reminiscences of r articular interest. Among them was the history of the organ, bought by the old man while in the hospital. It seems he intended to celebrate with music when he returned. But the or gan was shipped before he was able to leave the hospital and this caused confusion upon his return, because the big box which had been received the week previous had been thought to contain his dead bodv and had been buried as such. , Since the play represented a much earlier period, the costumes added interest too. Altogether it seemed to be one of Tie best entereainments Mr. Thomas C. Rpberson.

' , , If any person is interested in a -Uv Obie Jarvu has been in for several days With a severe cold... One of the oldest memln tli comunity, Mr. Brianrs, father nfVp.' J. G. Briggs, was confined to iia bed .'thing much to do in the Auditor's in that: particular year. An attempt was made in 1932 to use Sinking Funds on this same Note. On March 17th. 1932 the Board of County Com missioners wrote the Attorney Gen eral as follows: Madison Countv has short term notes of $165)00.00 due on May 15th, 1932. The County Com missioners believing it will be almost impossible to sell .bonds at this time to take up these notes, have therefore requested the Sinking Fund Commis sion of Madison Countv. who have charge of the Sinking Funds of the county, to aPPlv certain funds now on hand to the discharge of these notes, or a certain part of same. The County Commissioners be'ieve it to be to the best interests of the County to do this. Kindly let us hear from you at once. Now why was this at tempted when the Sinkintr Fund was levied solely for Term Bonds? In answer to letter nut out b the Commissioners May 13th, I would like to raise the question, Whv isn't a Democrat worth as much as a Re publican when he performs the same auties? i will be big-hearted and ask if he isn't worth at least one-half of what the Republican received when performing the same services? In Ju ly the State took over all countv roaas. trior to July Mr. White receiv ed $150. per month as Auditor and Clerk to Road Board: after Julv 1931 Mr. White was still paid $150.00 as Auditor. He continued to draw this sum until December, 1932. On Feb ruary 23rd. 1931, Mr. White writes Mr. Chas. M. Johnson as follows: "I have been informed that the At torney Geneval ruled that the County Commissioners did net have the u thority under the Fiscal Control Act, Chapter 146, Section 8. Page 411, Public Laws of N. C, 1927, to allow the Auditor any additional compen sation for his duties. Under the law creating the Auditor's office the Au ditor can only draw $3.00 per day, and at that time there was 'not any like Winston is. Out at Walnut we have ife'yeial Republican teachers. We like jem, and have re-elected them year 5fter year, but we mustn't play favortteS, we must apply the theory out tijere I'll ask any fair-minded person if this isn't a small, petty, trflingj contemptible theory? i . One of the purposes behind this action ifs still hidden, still masked, deficits continue to pile up., some one wants 'access to the Sinking Funds, and although this intention is being kept sicret, we might as well be pre pared ?for it. it is on the way next.

Thetis the toll of western floods that rated from Colorado to Mexico this Week. Right now Kansans are moving by the thousands to e-et out of the wav of an expected inundation near Kansas City. We think that's pretty bad. But by comparison with the casualties from earthquakes in India, the U.

One quake after another literally levelled build ings, wiped out cities. As advertised in lasl; week's News- Record the Electric and Refrigeration School, sponsored by the P. T.

As promised by Judge Warliok last Friday, his decision reached Marshall before noon Tuesday in which he de clared the injunction against the Re publican tax listers vacated or dis solved. That means, as we under stand it, that the tax listing must go forward without delay and that be fore another year rolls around, the Supreme Court will have decided as to the legality of the Democratic Tax Commission in Madison County. Mrs. R. N. Hunter Passes Away Funeral services were held at 10; 30 Monday morning at the Calvary Baptist Church in Asheville for Mrs. R N. Hunter, 52, who passed away last Friday at the home of her bro ther, the Rev J. O.Banks, in Gas tonia. The immediate cause of death was heart failure, although Mrs. Hunter had been in ill health for some time, the last rites were conducted by the Rev. J. B. Grice of Asheville. In order that her only son, Mr. Herman Lowe, might be present, the service was delayed until his arrival from New York. Mrs. Hunter is al so survived by two sisters, Mrs. Lee Bryan and Mrs. Cora Banks, both of Marshall; and bv four brothers, the Rev. J. O. Banks of Gastonia, Mr. W. A. Banks of Asheville, and Mr. H. L.
