Fight is Ended.

The conservative action OF Mr.
Moore nut an end, it is believed, to-
what might have become very un-
pleasant controversy.
Petitions were circulated some
months ago, calling on the Governor
to order an audit of the Forrest coun-
~ hooks. The petitions, on their race
were entirely innocent. The Governor
q short time ago. designated the Du-
rant man to do the work. An investi'
eation was started, and 1ne morning
Forrest county awoke to the fact that
set Of highly paid men soon were
to come here and, at an exorbitant
cost, go over the books and recorus
Of the officials.
A proposition had been made 10 tne
hoard by Meridian accountant 70 40
the work for $1,000. 1t was estimated
that should Mr.. Moore be given the
contract, the county would be forced
to pay between $4,000 and sS,ooo
Theu movement was launched tc
protest against the action Of the COY
ernor.
This promised to reach fever hea
here today when it was known ina
Mr. Moore would appear before tn
hoard and explain his stand. 1t wa
understood that the Durant man woul'
tell the board that everything that ma
been done thus far was according =
law and that the Governor was witt
e his rights in designating an a'
countant Of his own choice.
Members Relieved.
when the auditor told the boar
that he had no desire to do the wor
under existing conditions, the men
hers were greatly relieved, as the
had prepared for bitter fight on y
propositions
Mr.. Moore agreed to do the WORK
ouestion, under private contract =
s1o day and expenses, the maximu
amount for four years to be s2'o'
and the maximum for eight years
be $4,000. III can complete 2 10
years auditing in 100 days" he sa

aiterary masterpiece of Granny"
Luther Wilmore, of Bogard, Mo-,
in the language of the lamented
~Uncle Sawney:::Gilmer; also a
product of classic Union neigh
borhood; Il never thought of
such thing"
1t is suggested that he show
this specimen of belles-lettres to
some of his great-great-great
grand children, who will put on
their specs" and howl with
rapturous and consuming de-
light.
As to time that elarses be-
tween wheat harvests,-more
wheat is produced in Cleveland
county, North Carolina, than in
Carroll county, Missouri; and it
is harvested in June, near my
birthday. We have good roller
mills at Shelby, Faliston, Waco,
Lawndale, Kings Mountain, and
other places. We also have
three railroads running into
Shelby; good sand clay roads
nearly all over the county; and
at least five hundred automobiles
in this county. We also have
creameries, operated by joint
stock companies, at Shelby,
Mooresboro, baltimore and Kings
Mountains; and / have neighbors
who milk more than twenty
COWS. We have two strong banks
at Shelby, three at Kings Noun
tain, one at baltimore, one at
Mooresboro, one at Waco, one at
Grover; and two loan associa-
lions at Shelby and two at. Kings
Mountain.
AS to farming implements, we
have gang-plows, disc harrows,
mowers and reapers. We also
have corn-harvester Eand::A shred
ders.
The people of Cleveland coun-
ty, N. c., dress as well as they
do in Carroll kcounty, Mo-, and
will compare well with them in
culture and refinement. Of
course the land hereiis old, poor
and thin. The land of this coun-
ty, however, under, skillful cul-
stivation, can be made. tolproduce
one hundred bushels of corn,
forty bushels of wheat, or two
bales of cotton per acre. In nat
.ural fertility, the rich prairie
land of Carroll county surpasses
the soil of this county fivel fold.

aging industry; you don't sur

it will richly repay you in means
of paying said tax, and giving
rich dividends.
Some people fight every form
of taxation, whether it pays or
not, They are like the fellow
who killed every snake he saw.
He went to show, and they had
tame boa constructor. He got
a pole and soon sustained his
record as one who bruised the
head of the serpent according to
scripture. The Snowman came
in and saw the mortal remains;
also the executioner with his war
club. did you kill my snake?"
said the proprietor of the great
moral circus. YES" was the
proud rejoinder, 81 kills 'em
wherever | finds 'em." "What
had he done to you? That snake
cost me a thousand dollars" said
the Snowman mo matter eff
he cost ten thousand; by Heck, l
kills 'em wherever l finds EN-"
was the rejoinder.
Harking back to Jim eager,
he wrote me a polite invitation
to come and help him quaff SUM-
dry rotations of Baldwin apple
cider. Bless his kind heart, he
doesn't known how much I'd en-.
joy the trip and the revelry. No
man ever was kinder to me; and
/ certainly hold him and his fam
lily in grateful memory. But at
sixty-tive, he claims to be grow
ing old. Pshaw jim eager.
Look at Granny Luther Wilmore,
who played leap-frog with the
lamented DR.. Vols, before you
were born Did l SAY before you
were born? | mean before your
father was born. He will enjoy
hearing this read. and will,
doubtless, call upon Bran White
or Ezra Block to rebearse it to
him through his eartrumpet.
But, bless his ancient heart

cotton planters, and seed wheat
threshers, corn-harvesters and
shredders at work every year.
What has been written as to
good roads; certainly deserves
careful consideration by the peo
pie of Adair county. We have
good sand. clay highways in five
townships out of the eleven in
Cleveland county. Where two
bales of cotton load two horses
on a muddy road, built up one
hill and down another and in the
creeks; a sand clay road, prop
erly graded, will enable the
same team to pull ten bales. All
this winter, and it has been un-
usually rainy, there have never
been twenty.four hours that au-
tos have not been run on our
sand. clay roads. This whole
country is covered with rural
free delivery routes. On many
of them, the carriers ride in au.
tos. the year round. The way
to get these roads is to issue
bonds. We people, of No. 8
To anship voted $4,000 bonds.
My annual road-tax is about
three dollars; but l am benefited
at least twenty five dollars. |
can easily drive fifteen miles to
Shelby in two and one half hours;
when in the mud it required four.
I generally make from five to
eight bales of Gotten, and have
to use from two to three tons of
commercializer, to put under my
cotton, corn and oats. At same
ratio. we can haul four times as
much cotton, fertilizer; or take
four times as large a load of
wheat to mill. AS for my part
am not much of a farmer. A
man who teaches from five to
eight months out of the twelve,
can't devote enough time to ag-
riculture. | am a better teach
er, agent or writer than farmer;
and that grades me very low.
Some men are natural farmers,
others natural mechanics, still
others, merchants, while others
are criminals and politicians.
The largest class in existence
are fools and suckers; and the
man who has the fools with him,
has a stupendous majority in
any state or crowd.
l see that my big.hearted
friend. Jim eager Yates, knows
what you need; and generously
offers to donate $500. For Gods
sake. don't let him back you
down. A region of the sterling
citizenship and natural advan-
tages of Adair county, Kentucky
