A BOLD LETTER Mr. McMuIlan Writes Concern ing a Fertilizer Inspector. MAN OF BAD CHARACTER However, Fertilizer Inspectors were Merely Mojala'ated jy Directors and Tbis may Cause a Director's Impeachment '- ;Aii open letter has been addressed to the jStute board ox agriculture regard jug tue character of one of tue hueeii leitmizer inspectors, uunmiated by lue member of tue board lroin eacu .district. Ulie grave charges made against ms i-naracter has caused a sensation r.n; were Is no probability ot fas ever serving us an official of the State in the present light or the situation. V member ot the board was shown tho open letter today and asked bis opimou as to the result of the mutter, lie stud: -the htteen inspectors of fertilizers were not elected by tue board. It was agree.l thut since the services of fertiliser in spectors are only required at certain times in the year that fifteen inspectors should be nominated,' each district nam ing some inspector, a,nd that the commis sioner of Agriculture should have power to call these inspectors into service when ever they are needed.- Hence the board did not elect any inspector but simply nomiuatcd men tor the commissioner to draw from. "The nomination of tlus man Uuid by the member from the first district should cause the impeachment of that member for imposing upo nthe board by nominating such a man." Following is an open letter, wmcii ap peared in yesterday's Charlotte Observer, to the members of the State Hoard oi Agriculture: , Sirs: In the rcceut state campaign the Democratic party made the canvass largely on the issue of "white- suprem acy," and invited every wUit.i inan"to join in the effort to reuceui tnc Mate from negro rule. The invitation was promptly accepted toy men of evsry form er shade of political opuniMi ana iney have 'a riebt to expect that henccfoith the State's government .would be clean; that decent men only Would bo put into office and that they could again look with pride to pure and prosperous administra tion. How are these anticipations being hwaliaed? ... At 'your recent election one Hill -J. Reed, of this (Pedquhrans) county, was chosen fertilizer inspector. You could not have selected from our midst a man of more despicable character. For years he has lived in concubinage with negro strumpets, and lias kept his negro off spring in social contact with his white wife, en estimable lady, whom he Jins humiliated and made miserable by his vile conduct, die lias don j more to en: courage miscegenation thaa any other dnfluence and by his outrageous conduct has defied the Jaw and miotic sentiment and placed himself, without tin ;m:b of human sympathy, and his elevation to office is a disgrace to civilisation. I am sorry you knew no'Irng of ms character, 'but rel'ed upon tbss indorse ment of a prominent politician of this community, who alone stands ior this I man and makes for him th t plea of pov erty and therefore needs tho uf lice. It is true he is poor, but the pcty cannot afford to endorse a man without char acter, because ho is poor. He has be come poor because be baa spent Ibis tljnellj18 &m,, fr fortable support, in the gratillcatiou of ten vile and .unchecked . passion with disgraceful associations, and instead -of making him the custodia-i of tho party's honor, be ought-to be reixiki-1 and held as an example of the reaping of the whirlwind. I do not -write you, gentlemen, from personal considerations, but in thj inter est of purity in polities. I writo that you may know the truth and that from your positions you may call a bait in this dis graceful matter end thereby relieve tho party from a responsibility which, if not repudiated, will in future campaigns da pressed to its attention in a manner that will cause it to hang its Used In shame and demoralise it, because of it? gros inconsistency.. .- ... ,... - ..;L i , : Respectfully, . -T r W.

' ' ALDERMEN TONIGHT Street Bonds ; and Liquor Licenses - Come Up. : This evening the board of aldermen will meet In the mayor's office. - Tha ob ject of the meeting will be to receive the report of the finance committee.
