MARSHALL HIGH RED TORNADO
HAS VERY SUCCESSFUL SEASON
WINS S: LOSES 2. AND TIES
1 DURING YEAR
TJnder the handicap of playing
most of its frames on the opponents'
fields, the Marshall high school Red
Tornado football team played a
very successful season. With a
line that 'averaged 'only 155 pounds,
and a backfield of approximately
159 pounds, the Tornado was light
ern Carolina H. S. football, this
130 pound flafcikman was perhaps
the fastest man on the line, cover
ing his kicker's punts well. Taking
a Walnut kick-off on his own 15.
he scampered 85 yards for a touch
down in one of the seasons high

Mr. Win. V. Farmer, Chairman
Board of County Commissioners,
Marshall, N. C
My Dear Mr. Farmer:
I am receipt of your letter dated December 7th, giving order No. 10
of your Board, may I remind you that I received a similar order land letter
from your Board about a vear and' a half agj and ignored it. May I further
L inform you that 90 of my duties are set out by SCate Wide Laws, and
that I expect to fulfill the duties of County Auditor and County Account
ant without any dictation from you, or from your Bolard. I will promise
you that I will co-operate fully with you when the interest of Madison
County is concerned, and I believe I can truthfully say that I had to beg
and plelad with you in the past to do so.
May I ask who is your legal advisor, or advisors? In this action let's
get to plain facts: If you have the power to cut my salary to eight days
per month, you surely have the power to cut it to one day per month, why
not cut it to one day per month and slave more money? I am, as the
State Laws require, still under a Five Thousand Dollar ($5000.00) Bond
for the performance of the duties of my office, surely,. Mr. Farmer, if you
cut my job to eight days per month, you know you can cut it to one
day per month. May I, in all fairness, ask you if you lare assuming the
powers of a HITLER, why is it necessary that I be under bond? Why
