Inotice that the editor of the Hig-
ginsville Advance in his paper OF the
18th and 18th of this month made some
uncalled for remarks regarding my
action toward Mr.. Aull who was ap-
pointed by Judge Harrison, a delin-
quent tax collector. l do not think
that these remarks, coming from the
source they do, require any notice, but
for fear that some of our citizens might
be led to misunderstood the situation,
l will make this simple as we'll as
truthful statement. do favor making
a change of fees for collecting, from 10
to Z per cent; not because l fear that
the "Intelligencer" will not get the ad-
vertising, but because the times are
very hard, and many find it very diff
cult to pay their delinquent taxes.
Then again, learn from what 1 con-
slider a truthful Pource hat the delin-
quent tax collectors have made az much
as $1,000 and $4,000 per year, which l
think is too much. Consequently l
think that Z per cent. is sufficient for
a tax collector. | I'M not opposed to
Mr.. Aull a such tax collector, l am
ready to approve his appointment
whenever he is willing to lake Z per
cent. for collecting the delinquent
taxes of our county. If Mr.. Aull can
not collect said tax for Z per cent. we
shall endeavOr to get some one who
will do it. Should we fail in this, it
will then be time to pay more. | will
kindly ask the editor of the Advance
to post himself a little better i'm the
future, before he takes the trouble of
giving his wise CO opinion on matters
that do not concern him.
