NOTICE..

FE'HE undersigned, Commissioners of Charles
z County, regret much to learn that great COM
plant is made in portions Of the county account
of dereliction Of duty on the part of some of our
Supervisors, of the following nature: That hands
have been known to meet on the public road and
idle away their time until 10 or | o'clock, wait
ing for the Supervisor; and again hands have been
known to be employed on the road and the Super
visor, instead of giving his personal attention to
them, spending the greater part of his time at the
card table. These are charges, if true, we regard
outrage upon the county and if substantial
ed will not be for a moment tolerated. And
whilst we believe It not only our privilege but our
sv orn duty to guard and protect the interests of
the county in all such cases, we likewise believe
it the duty of all good citizens to cooperate with
Us in furthering this end; and as such things are
not likely TO come under our personal knowledge,
hop" that all persons in possession Of such facts
will make them known to Us automatically, and we
pledge the removal instantcr Of any Supervisor 50
offending. K. Il. WATSON,
