No Compromise Contemplated
Between c Commissioners and A.
and F. Board-A Wrong I'M

PASSoAOAAs
The news item in last Thurs
days Robesonian in regard to
the probability of an agreement
between the county commission
ers and the board of audit and
finance whereby a statement of
eX-Sheriff McLeod's tax accounts
might be reached without the ap-
pointment of a referee, was I'M
Intentionally misleading in that
the idea might have been obtained
from the heading of the item
that some sort of compromise
would be reached. There is no
idea of compromising the matter
of the settlement. The men,
bers Of the board of audit and
finance, it is understood, merely
stand ready now, as they have
all the while, to assist the COM
missiOners with any information
in their possession in arriving
at basis upon which a settle
ment of the tax accounts can be
made. This statement is made
solely to correct any impression
the former mention might have
made that a compromise settle
ment would be made, as compro-
mise has neverbeen contemplated.
Some time ago, it will be recalled,
when the members of the board
of audit and finance refused to
be sworn before the board of
commissioners, they offered to
go over the matter of eX-Sheriff
McLeOd's accounts with the COM
missiOners and give them any in
formation in their power that
would enable them to make set
tlement. This they have stood
ready to do all the time, and
this is the only proposition
that has been made. 1t is I'M
derstOOd, as has been mention
ed, that a committee of three
from the board of commission
ers and the three members Of the
audit and finance board will
meet and go over the accounts,
the members of the board OF
audit and finance giving the COM
mittee from the commissioner
any information in their pos,
session, and then the committee
reporting back to the commits.

We are having good seasons in

Rev. J. w. Cobb did not fill
his regular appointment here
Saturday and Sunday. He, was
present both times, but he: gave
those two appointments to the
children of this community, as
Sunday was Children's Day, and
he was kind enough to let them
decorate the church Saturday
afternoon. At IA O'Clock Sun
day morning was the most sue
cessful event of the day at Ten |
Mile. At about 1870 a. m.
children could be seen coming
from every direction, and one
looking into their happy faces
could tell there was something
on their minds that made their
hearts throb for joy. By. the
time the exercises began as many
of the congregation as could had
assembled in the church.. As
you remember, it was a most
pleasant day, very cool: and
though they were crowded, the
people found it very comfortable.
We are very sorry that we could
not seat all, but it was impossi-
