EDITOR ARGUS 49,
In your issue Of last week you
seem to have devoted much valua.
bic space to inangurate the usual
criticisms that arc as rule heaped
Oh the newly elected officers.
Now, Mr. Editor, / will be frank
with you and your correspondents
(who claim to represent Function
and Howesulle), by saying that T
love honest criticisms that are clean
cut aud intended to correct public
evils, but ] detest cowardly attacks.
which are as q rule purely personal
in their character, aud which are
intended to stif up a feeling against
the pablo officers Of our county.
4 Will not enter into any details to

meet any Of the slang concerning
my official duty while | was a
member OF the County Court nor
since am Sheriff. The good peo-
pie Of Preston county have endorsed
my service as Commissioner by
electing me Sheriff. | don't know
what kind OF u Sheriff / may make.
may, or 1 may not, make a good
one. Ii / fail, you may charge nay
failure to lack OF calibre, for ] do
assure you, dear friends, that 1
intend to devote all my time and
talent to succeed IN the office l now
hold by your franchise.
In justice to the Honorable Mem
bers Of our County Court, desire
to say to the editor OF the ARGUS
and all others concerned, that my
salary has not boon ncreased-the
ARGUS report to contrary, notwith-
standing. My allowances are fixed
by statute and not by the County
Court. 1t is true that it Is within
the breast of the County Court to
allow less amount than that fixed
by law, but it has not been the
custom of the Courts to do so, from
the fact that Preston has large
territory, which makes it more ex-
pensive to the Sheriff to do the
work than is incurred by Sheriffs in
smaller countles-hence the maxi
mum allowance. wish right here
to add, that | am acquainted mot
only in personal way, but from a
business standpoint) with the mem
bers Of your County Court, having
served with some of them four
years, and can safely say that they
have represented the people honest
Iy and efficiently, and deserve more
credit than they are likely to receive.
confess that j fail to under
strnd, Mr. Editor, why you in one
breath would charge that the
County Court had ra sed my salary
$3.50, and in the next say that the
law allowed me that amount for
services around the Court House. |
say that the law does not allow me
one cent for services around the
Court House, but it does allow me
$3.50 for attendance upon the CIR
cult and County Court and acting
as ianitor of the Court House. Why
not be fair and state matters as they
exist? | never knew any gains
made by misrepresentation.
1t is true that / am the servant
Of the people, and it will be my
soul aim to serve them Alright under
the law and under tho instructions
of our honorable Courts.
1t is further true that / will APP
preciate advice when it comes from
proper source, but | will not I'M
der any circumstances cover to the
demands of intoxicated persons or
bolsterous assemblages. With due
respect to all, | will be Sheriff
while / am Sheriff.
Very respectfully,
LEROY SHAW.

-
In this issue we give space TO
card from Sheriff Shaw in which he
denies that his salary has been IN
creased $3.50 per year and claims
that we misrepresented him in so
stating. We said last week that
the County Court had increased the
SherIif's salary $50 per year over
what the last Sheriff received. and
say 80 yet, and can prove what we
say. The records show, and Mr..
Shaw himself admits it. lie says
bis allowance is fixed by statute and
not By the CountY Court. This is
not true. The law says, page s54, ar
ticle % Of the Code, "For attend
ance upon the Circuit end County
Courts, and acting as Jsnitor Of
the Court House, he (the SheriR)
shall be allowed not exceeding one
E'ssired aHd ffty dollars per aanum,
70 be ascertaiued and f1ed BIZ the
Coaf,fy CoUyt." This plainly gives
che Court power to tx the allow
ance much less than the maximum
amount II il chose to. Sheriff
Jackson was rot allowed a cent OF
this, but claiins now, and Justly,
shat nc is as much entitled 10 it as
Mr. Shaw, and proposes 10 have IL
get. II he has to sue for It. This
amount Of $50 per year - given
SIR. Shaw IN aadliioa to the regu-
lar salary, which Mr. jackson re-
eeived, and we leave it TO the pub
Iic to decide, whether IL is not an
increase or not. NJ. Shaw Is badly
ratified. lie denies our statement
~ ono breath aud proves them in
the next himself. We are not
kicking about the Sberifps salary
and don't blame BIN for getting ali
be can honestly. We simply stated
shat bis salary had been raised, and
a. It IS true, We propose to stick u
our statement.

GRAND PICNIC AND CELEBRATION

The picnic ut Gainesville last
Saturday was the biggest thing of
the kind we ever slw in Preston
county. unless it was the big Cen
tenpIal Celebration in the Copcnnan
Grove below town IN 1876. We
believe there was as many people
present as were at the Tnnnelton
Camp Meeting and Soldiers Re-
urion altogether. Some estimated
the crowd at FIVE thousand, and
others said there were four
thousand people present, and no
one estimated the crowd at less than
three thousand. We would hardly
have believed that so many people
could have been gathered at u
small place like GladesvIlle il we
had not been present and saw for
onrself. There were a great many
present from MonongalisI. Marion
and Taylor counties. There was
lots of music and flags in the AIR,
and altogether it WAS gala day
for Gladesville. The Junior Order
Council started it and the Sunday
Schools and q. A. r. Posts ioinod
I'm and helped make it an occasion
long to be remembered. There was
splendid Drum Corps from Mo-
nongalla consisting OF five fifers,
I've tenor dTummers, bass drum
and cymbnls, all in big band
wagon drawn by four horses. Then
there was another Band from Ma
ron county composed of four fifers,
four tenor drummers, bass drum
and cymbals. These Bands in their
uniform presented an attractive
appearance. The parade, which
took place between one and two
O'Clock, was big aft ,ir. Lieut.. B.
f. Sapp was the Marshal of the
Day and rode in front on fine
horse, then came Band, followed
by double column line Of old vet
Grams, most of them in G.. a. l..
suits and marching like old regulars
We noticed old fellows with one leg
marching on crutches and keeping
good time. Then came the Sunday
School scholars and teachers and
several Councils of the Junior Or.
der, in handsome rcgalia and
badges, from Independence, New
oarg, Reedsyilie, GladesvIlle and
other places. Several handsome
flags were carried in the parade ana
one noated over the Spec ker's
Stand. The Sunday School had
tho forenoon and held exercises i'm
the grove, consisting OF speeches,
Rotations and music. After the
parade in the afternoon, and the
audience had re-assembled in the
grove, Rev. Harkness, of Terra
Alta, delivered an address on be-
half of the Junior Order aud was
listened to with marked attention.
Then came Col. Jake Kemplc, OF
Wheeling, the orator of the day.
The Colonel was ut his best and
turned himself loose and kept the
large crowd in roar for over an
hour. Asa lecturer, the Colonel
ls not bowling SUCCESS, but rs u
stump speaker, he is dandy and
Is III his element, and his speech
was way ahead of any OF his so
called lectures that we have ever
heard. All in all, it was big day
for small place like Gainesville,
but it seems to be central point
and they always have good crowd
when anything is going on.
