The trust has put out the virginia
Bright cigarette in foil wrappers They
Sell at five cents for ten but consumers in
Virginia, North Carolina and South Caro-
lima are offered package free in ex-
change for five of the wrappers, thus re-
ducing the price to four cents This is an
old scheme revived to down the indie
pendent Carolina Brights," which have
the run in the three States mentioned
and outsell the trust brands two to one.

time. As matter of fact the trust got

TRIED TO EMPLOY MR.. ROGERS.
He Would Beg Rather Than Work For the
Political Mountebanks.

To the Editor: Capt. Geo. S. Baker
justice to him must say that I had the
information that Pritchard's organ
would not print his telegram from
three or four gentlemen before l went
to Mr.. Baker and told him I had heard
that the Post had not published his corr
respondence, telling him what I had
heard. He then said that what / had
heard was about as he had sent it, but
would not let me have copy of same at
that time, but did let me read it, and l
think my version of the matter is sub
stantiated by the original message
wired to the News and Observer Sat
urday night. I can't imagine the 'evil
influence" of which the Post complains,
unless it was that Mr.. Baker was with
Democrats and gentlemen and did not
march in the procession of revenue
doodles and office-seekers in the Pritch-
ard gang, as the Posts agent did, and
then did not follow the outfit" to Raj
eigh and get in a report and have it
ready for the forms in fifteen minutes,
as the Post itself admits, and could not
in one hour and forty-five minutes pub
lish shorter and more truthful report
from it's correspondent, when it had ask
ed him to send one. The truth of the
matter, it seems, is that the Posts agent
was under the EVIL influences" and re-
li.ained so from the time the procession
marched from the hotel to the speak
ing stand, and until the report that suit
ed Pritchard and the sell out of the Post
was in type at 9:45-all done, as they
say, in fifteen minutes, while they could
not get Mr.. Bakers report in in one
hour and forty minutes.
My report OF the meeting was written
at my home Friday night before 1 had
ever been to the office or seen or heard
anything of the Franklin Times article,
and | am sorry to say when 1 submitted
1T to Mr. Daniels Saturday morning he
did suggest one change that was made.
My report asked: WAS there ever
more boldfaced lie published on an
honest man." Mr.. Daniels suggested
that it read bold faced wrong He
made no other suggestion and with that
one change the article appeared as orig
inally written by me. / am responsible
for same and have no apologies to make
" TIE ulTeuISS OIL the sell out SneeC-
fit subject for a companion to the
Asheville Gazette, only now the Gazette
is ahead of the Eastern Revenue
Doodle organ in that it has gone over
bag and baggage to the Republicans
and the Post still tries to masquerade
as Democratic paper and does not
wish to dignity as "a proper object for
contempt, one who has TIME AND

MAY Be Prosecuted
County Officers who Lend any
Part of School Fund.
Supreme Court Says Such OFFICERS are Liable
to civil Action If not Criminal
Prosecution"

The Supreme court in the decision in
the Buncombe county bond case, declared
that the Board of Education of Buncombe
was liable for "civil action, if not to GRIM
inal prosecution" for lending part of the
school fund 20 the county commissioners.
IN many of the counties of the State the
county commissioners have been in the
habit of drawing on the school fund Of the
county, but the language of the Supreme
court in the Buncombe decision will likely
put stop to it. The court INDUCED in this
rebuke.
There is one thing presented by the
record in the case that we feel called
upon to mention, as it Is a matter Of
much public concern. We mention this,
as 1t appears in this case and from the
fact that matters of a similar character
have appeared in other cases, and that
is the $9,921.40 note due to the Board of
Education for borrowed money. This was
set forth as one of the reasons in the
motion to advance the cause for hearing.
But if this had been the only reason set
forth as ground for the advancement,
this case would not have been advanced.
This money, it seems, had been collected
and paid to the Board of Education where
1t was subject to the proper use Of the
schools and where it should have re-
manned. But the board in violation of it's
trust as public officers, have not kept
it where it belonged but have loaned it
to the county commissioners, who admit
they are not able to repay it without the
aid of special legislation for that pur-
pose. AS they have violated their trust in
lending this money, they are liable for the
same in civil action if not to criminal
prosecution. 1t seems to us that there is
too great disposition on the part of pub
lie officers entrusted with public funds to
think of it and treat 1t as their own.
This should be, and will be stopped, as
we will not doubt that courts and solicit
tors will do their duty.
