COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
ARE PLACED RIGHT

The Messenger is always ready to
acknowledge its errors and to correct
them. Mr.. Pilchard calls our atten-
ton to one in the last issue of The
Messenger The comment he refers
to was written without the resolution
being before US, and our memory was
evidently at fault regarding its con-
text We very cheerfully place the
Commissioners in the right attitude.
Snow Hill, Nd, March s, 1922.
The Democratic Messenger,
Gentlemen:-I wish to call your at
tention TO error in the last edition of
The Messenger recording the proceed
ings of the County Commissioners.
A copy Of the minutes of the last
meeting of the Commissioners given
to you read as follows:
"Ewell d Child, Attorneys, were
instructed to write 10 Senator
Tydings and to the Worcester
County Delegation asking that
Worcester County be exempted
from the provisions of Senate Bill
No. 80 pertaining to the County
Commissioners"
You published the above as follows:
"The Commissioners ordered
their attorneys, Ewel e. Child,
to communicate with Senator
Tydings of Hartford County to
exempt Worcester County from
the provisions of Senate Bill No.
80, which affects the method Of
collecting taxes"
Under your version Of the proceed
ings Of the County Commissioners
you published the following:
THE proper thing for the
Commissioners to do is to COM
municate with Senator Harrison.
They have gone at the thing
backwards. Senator Harrison
represents Worcester County in
the Senate"
You can readily see from the above
that your paper did not publish the
minutes of the proceedings of the
County Commissioners correctly and
if you had done 30 there would have
been no cause for your comment, a
Senator Harrison and each and every
member of the House of Delegates
from Worcester County received the
message of the County Commission
ers in reference to this particular bill.
II IS requested, in view of the above
that you correct your error in the
n II issue of your paper in order that
the public may know that the County
Commissioners handled this matter
in the proper way and at the proper
time.
Yours very truly,
H. b. PILCHARD.

Ince Man Confident
Fair Weather Looms
for Motion Pictures

The motion picture industry is enter
ing upon one of the most successful
seasons enjoyed since the war in the
opinion of E. A. Smith. personal rep
resentative of Thomas H.. Ince, who
has just completed a tour of the coun-
try.
After talking with exhibitors in every
section of the east and west. Smith
is convinced not only that the business
rapidluy is returning TO normal but that
for worth while pictures there is u
growing and insistent demand.
From indications throughout the
country. l am convinced that, beginning
this fall, the motion picture industry
will reach the high water mark which
it touched just before the war" he
states. This applies only to clean.
m%eritorious productions for the public
no longer will tolerate questionable
plays.
THE day Of inferior pictures has
passed and the theater going public has
been educated to such an extent. that
they are demanding the best that can
be produced. AS to the talk that the
public is losing interest in motion pic
lures, I have found that whenever a
worth while picture is shown, it is sup
