PLEA FOR FAIR TIRE INTENT
who. 1t Is Alleged, has Boen Misrep-
resented.
L~aurinburg, April 10.

Laurinburg, April 10.
Editor Messenger:
A few weeks ago an article appeared
in your paper with reference to the
capture of H. T. Allen, of this place,
by Postoffice Inspector Jere Connolly.
AS the article is an injustice to Allen
and n calculated to produce an I'M
just prejudice. 1 feel sure that you will
gladly make room for his article.
The whole tone OF the article from be-
ginning to enu seems TO be saturated
with the idea that Allen was not only
one OF the great ndle of he age,
but that the inspector had a most diff
cult time In capturing him; that he had
been on his track since last July. etc.
One oul easily infer from this tina
Allen had for several months been sue
cesSfully evading de .ection; however,
he was here at his home every day in
the year., with d possible exception and
could have been found at any time.
Anothe incorrect and damaging idea
suggested by this article was that AL
len ''lived we'll" and had amassed a
neat little fortune in the swindling bus
mess. This is entirely untrue. Allen
did not live we'll in the sense alluded to.
He did not make a fortune in the
sWindling or in any other business, but
on the contrary was a very, very poor
man, often without a cent and usual
ly taxed to keep his family supplied
with the necessi les of life.
With reference to the character and
extent of the crimes with which he is
charged. I am not so familiar. l know
that he conducted a mail order bust
ness and advertised the sale Of Ger air
recipes and various chemical and 9TH
er preparations. On several occasions
/ talked with him with reference to the
matter and he always stoutly disclaim
ed any intention of double dealing or
wrong doing.
1 always had implicit confidence in
his honesty and on several occasions
entrusted him with n collection of &c
counts. which to the pest of my knowl-
edge and belief were always reported
correctly.
Mr.. Editor. my only object in writing
this article is to correct, if I can, DAM
aging impressions which I feel are I'M
| warranted and undeserved. and because
we all wish to see the accused accord
ed fair and considerate treatment.

Correspondence Of the MeSsenger.1
Mount Airy. April 10.
The information that Superintendent
F. Fl. Curtiss. CT the graded schools OF
Mount Airy had rendered his ~resigna-
don TO the board OF education. the
same to take effect at the close of the
scholastic year. came as a sad and Sc
rious surprise TO the citizens of the
town and especially to the patrons of
the school. whose children have been
under his educational direction and in
fiuence for the past three years.
Because he had assumed charge OF
u schools by unanimous invitation,
because from the very first he hal
shaped and directed their scope and
course OF study. because he had mani
tested earnest interest in the fixed and
strong establishment OF one OF the very
best graded schools in the state, be
cause of the high esteem in which he
is held, not only as an instructor. but
as a citizen as well. because he and his
family are most pleasantly regarded as
citizens OF this town. and because II
was earnestly hoped by all that he
would remain permanently with us, the
board OF education and patrons OF the
school had come to regard his perma-
( lCSiOtiSe aiming US as Il EndLIeE 81
course. and had no thought OF his max
ing a change.
Inquiry disclosed the fact that the
progressive people OF Burlington have
ambition along the line of educational
advancement. jus as our people have.
and, having ample means at their COM
mand. set abou the selection of a su
p~erintendent who should know how to
arrange, direct and conduct a graded
school in a successful manner. With
out any definite knowledge or assur-
ance as to their ability to secure him
they through their trustees elected
Professor Curtiss superintendent of
their schools and appraised him of
their action.
Notwithstanding the fact thai the
of the Burlington choois
will be greatly in excess of our own.
n that the salary offered him is
larger than hat he is receiving here
Professor Cur, ISIS took the matter undec
careful advisement. and rightly, as we
are at last forced to admit. has accept
ed the position. Thus in an enlarged
field of usefulness he continues lis
chosen life-work in our state and for
our state. and our people bespeak foi
him such measure of success in his
new field of labor as his success in his
merits. We surrender him TO Bur
lington with deep regret. yet feeling
that our less is Burlington'S gain.
