Some Assertions as to the Standing
and Finances of the County De-

Some Assertions as to the Standing
and Finances of the County De-
MED.
NORFOLK, Va, February 18th, 1925.
Editor NORFOLK VIEGINIAN:
DEAR SIR: Permit me to say q
word with regard to certain charges
made in the Sunday Pilot with ref
erence to "Norfolk County's Rot
tenuess." l do not wish to combat
the assertion that the county affairs
are suffering, more or less, from
some degree of maladministration
If there is the least degree of cor.
ruption existing, the writer is in
sympathy with any movement to
purify. The object of this commu-
nlcation is simply to deny that Ger
tain matters stated as facts are in
the least degree true.
lst. 1t is without the sem blanoe of
truth that Norfolk county is the
heaviest taxed county in the State.
I'd. 1t is absolutely without foun-
dation that Norfolk county Is tinan.
cially the poorest county IN the
State.
3d. If the writer of the article in
question, who had nerve enough to
say that Norfolk county warrants
were only worth 25 cents on the 81,
will present himself with all war
rants of the county he can procure,
the writer of this communication
will pay 50 cents on the 81 for all
such warrants, satisfied that he will
mako n nrnEf rsf o.,
receiving par for the warrants.
4th. The writer must confess @
previous ignorance, caused by an
Ill timed over confidence in section
1916, OF Code Of Virginia, which has
led him to believe that it was the
duty of the county Judge to select
the grand jury. The Pilot, however,
seems TO have enlightened us down
this line by saying that different law
obtains In the county, and intimates
that the Judge, by laXness, has allow
cd the Sheriff to wrest from him his
prerogative. In the same breath,
however, the Pilot passes sentence
upon Norfolk county's Judge as to
his administration in the most COM
plimentary terms. May we be fur
Their enlightened AS to this paradox?
9th. The writer begs again to
confess that it Is hard to understand
the seeming contradiction the Pilot
makes when it advertises Norfolk $
surroundings as the haven for CAPT
talists. aud at the same time stating
that Norfolk county is "the heaviest
tnXed and financially the poorest
county i'll the Old Dominion" land
that tits warrants are only worth %
cents on the dollar" "TRUTH,"

SHOOTING sCRAPE.
A Saloon Man and Negro Customer
Used Their Guns at the Grove

There was a lively shooting af-
fray at the Grove saloon on San
Pedro avenue at 8 o'clock Satur-
day night. The proprietor of the
Grove saloon fired a shot at q
Negro who was beating him with
his fists. Then the Negro, who
made his escape, returned with a
40 calibre pistol and compelled the
saloon man to hand over a cane
and handkerchief which the latter
was holding as pay for drinks.
The trouble arose over a rock
ing chair. The Negro and a color
ed woman entered the saloon and
ordered drinks. The Negro woman
occupied the saloon mans private
rocking chair whereupon she was
ordered out OF the saloon. For this
the Negro refused to pay for his
drinks and the two men had a fist
fight. The saloon man was getting
the worst of it when he ran the
Negro out Of the saloon by draw
ing pistol and shooting at him.
The Negroes left a cane and a lace
handkerchief behind. The man re-
turned after bit, and showing a pts.
tol in the saloon mans face, made
him hand over the two articles.
The police are looking into the AZ
fair.

His Yard and Fired Away.


His Yard and Fired Away.
A second attempt to burglarize
either the county treasurer's office
or A. Berger's secondhand goods
establishment, was made shortly
after 4 o'clock this morning. At
that hour Mr.. Berger, who sleeps
In the rear of tho store, heard some
one in the yard upset piece Of
zinc. On looking out OF the open
window he found a man standing
in the yard that leads both to his
store and to the county treasurer's
office. He called to the man ask
ing what he was doing there, but
the fellow made no reply. So Mr..
Berger just turned his siXshooter
on the man and fired two loads,
neither of which took effect. The
fellow escaped through an alley
way into Houston street. The man
whom Mr.. Berger describes, tallies
exactly with Negro who has been
