PAY cHEERFuLLY.

The man who makes a bill and pays
it eluctantly and grumbles about t.

else is q bad man at heart. If you
buy anything on credit you have been
extended "a courtesy, and no man Of
good manners will mistreat a gentle
man who has shown him a courtesy.
Good manners, common sense, in fact,
ordinary decency demand that you
pay your debts as pleasantly and as
respectfully as you made the bills.
If you have it in for anybody, don't
take it out on the poor bill collector.

really isn't room anywhere for the
cross and crusty party who is eager
to use his credit, but reluctant TO
pay for what he gets.-Dallas News.

THE SALARY SYSTEM.
Believes People Would Vote to
Charge-Many Reasons Why
County Officers Should be on
Salary-Would Save Money
Present Method Antiquated.
o the Editor of The Robesonian:

To the Editor of The Robesonian:
Please allow me space in your
excelientspaper not as an office
seeker, but as | think for the
good of the masses OF our people,
the people Of Robson county.
Recently The Robesonian in
quired what had become of the
salary law movement. etc. We
all remember the law passed by
the Legislature of 1907 was lost
by an oversight: it was not voted
upon. l believed then, as l do
now, that the people Of Robson
county would ratify by from
two thirds to three-fourths ma
jority. | think there are many
reasons why we should have sal
ary law. Many overestimate the
income of our officers and some
times charge them with using
money and exercising favoritism
in many ways to keep themselves
in Office. The legal business,
probating and recording papers,
increase in taxes, have probably
doubled during the last decade
and if a county Office was renum-
eratlve ten years ago it must be
the best of all now.I reckon some
of our officers can clear more
money than can the cheif-execu-
tive of our grand old State. Rob-
eson county, with her resources,
ought to be in better shape f.
nancially than I am led to believe
she is. Blessed by wave of un-
paralelled prosperity, there are
men with increasing young fam.
7 lilies in Robson who feel sadden'
ed and sometimes distressed te
pay their tax. If we can reduce
: expenses and help this class, how
: condemnable then are those ii
E independent circumstances who
fail to see the straitened condi
e tions of the poor toiling masse
who by the law are compelled t.
contribute their part or pittanc
q to go into the purse of an over
+ paid official.
4 | believe in a square deal an,
: fair play. The fact Of the busines
: is, this fee system was made fo

In one OF tho most fashionable
