For THE TINES
A Reply to C. M. G..

Mr.. EDITOR The youthful correspon-
dent of the GreenuiUe News and the State in
last Sundays issues had some critical re-
marks to make rs 10 the selection of Mr..
John L. Rose, as Marshal of the town, by
the recently elected Town Council.
We are satisfied such an idea never ema-
mated from the quick and marvellous brain
Of the youthful correspondent, but on the
contrary, we are satisfied he was the mouth
piece of a few old fogies, who, with their
antiquatcd ideas, are not keeping up with
the progress OF time, but living about
twenty years ago. With the exception of
these old fogies and some people who regret
10 see Murshal and other officers of the
town elected that will endeavor to have law
and order, and put an eud to some flagrant
vices tn existed, there can be no objection
to the Councils selection of a Marshal
The two objections (?) the correspondent
urges against Mr.. Rose is, he is from North
Carolina, ond that che had good position;n
and the 'Other applicants were out of en-
ployment."
As to the first objection. Mr.. Rose has
been in Union over two years, Is citizen
under the State and town law and taxpay-
er. and as such deserves the same treatment
as any other Of Unions taxpayers.
As to his "having a good posi,ion," it
speaks well for his honesty, efficiency and
integrity, while the other candidates "wcre
out of employment" They may be good
men, yet rhy haven't they positions if they
are "better qualified p
The trouble with some people is that they
fear Mr. Rose will do his duly and that the
present council will run the affairs of the
town and the Marshal also, and not let the
fogies run the Marshal and the Marshal run
the town. We don't expect anything else
from kicking fogies who ''damn you if you
do and damn you if you dong"
