Why Don'i They? " i .
"Why don't the county commission
ers hare their proceedings published in
the Joubnal?" inquired a Justice of the
Peace of this county last Saturday. We
were unable to answer the question, but
we presume the plea that would readily
be put in by the commissioners is, we
are not able." But is this a reasonable
answer to the question? Will the peo
ple who are paying, from twenty to
thirty thousand dollars per year accept
this as a reasonable, excuse? Is it not
bad precedent for the Democrats to
establish, in refusing to have their pro
ceedings published? , How long would
Republican, Board be in office before
the Democrats would want to know
what they were doing? The commis
sioners of Wayne, Lenoir and Jones, not
fearing to let their people know how
they are conducting the atfairs of their
counties have their monthly proceed
ings "published t regularly, - those of
Wavne in the Messenger, those of Lenoir
in the Free Press and those of Jones in
the' Journal.

hands of the Republicans, the Demo
crats can consistently demand that they
have their proceeding's published.
It i3 a mistaken idea on the part of the
commissioners to think that because the
taxes are high the people are not willing
to pay fiftr or one hundred dollars per
year to know "what is going on at these
commissioners' courts. , When the taxes
are high is the very time they are more
anxious to know what is being done
with the money. We publish the pro
ceedings of the Jones county board' and
their chairman informs us that the peo
ple are Dleased with the idea. The man
who has work to do at home, and pays
, ... . . '.!, e.
his taxes would like to know what the
commissioners have done as well as the
loafer who has nothing else to do but
hang around the court house on com-
missioned day. The magistrates can-
not keep posted on the affairs of their
counties without knowine what the
commissioners do each month, and we
submit that it is cheaper lortnemaione
