THURSDAY, JANUARY 80, 1868.
NRE TEE COUNTY PRINTING.

We have been SO crowded with
more important matter lately
that we have not had space to no.
tice the remarks submitted by
The Maxton Scottish Chief and
The Red Springs Citizen about
the awarding of the contract for
publishing the reports Of the
county officers, and particularly
the report of the road supervi-
sors, to this paper. The Citizen
stoops to mighty small business
when it makes the entirely graf
uitous statement that thousands
of people do not see the reports
published in this paper, and won.
ders why all the papers in the
State are not given a chance to
bid for the printing; also when it
says that the county commission |
ers seem to forget that there is
more than one paper in the cOun-
ty when it comes to awarding the
contract for printing. Mighty
small business. In the name of
fairness and decency, we submit
that if The Citizen wanted this
business it should have entered
the field of fair competition and
submitted bids for it; it had the
opportunity to bid that The Rob-
esonian had, precisely; and if il
submitted bid and LOST does
not speak much for It's manhood
fer it to whipe%about not being
able to win in fair competition;
and il it did not bid for the work
akickabout to whom the contract
Ess>swar6ed cepes with nigh
ty poor grace.
We do not think The Chief
has any just cause for complaint,
either. Its criticism of Mr..
White and the other road super
visors is very ne iidst; Mr.. White
voted to award the contract to
The Chief and the contract was a
warded to this paper over his pro
test. The bids of this paper, and
The Chief being about the same in
dollars and cents, and The Robe
sonian having the larger circula-
ton, the bid of this paper was
actually less than that of The
-Chief-for advertising rates are
based on circulation-and the
supervisors simply accepted the
best bid made. And for this,
for accepting the best contract
offered, The Chief criticises the
board on the ground that Mr.
White being connected with the
Robesonian Pub. Co., the contract
should not have been awarded t.
it--and this in face OF the fac
that the two members OF th'
board who are in no wise con-
nected with The Robesonian out
voted Mr.. White and gave the
printing to this paper because it!
bid was tie best, taking into &C.
count it's circulation.
These criticisms are small auC
kiddish, and we have already Civ
en- more space than .they merit
The Robesonian is too busy serv
ing its patrons to notice ever,
splenetic thrust. 1t has asked TO
no favors and has received none
and when it gets 30 small that
will whine because some bushes
it would like to have is given t
some other paper, it will go GU
