To the Editor:
Had the sheriff of Hyrrell Coun-
ty, B. Ray Cohoon, in his letter of
March 14th, printed in the March
goth issue of this paper, calling
attention to error made by your
reporter, gone no further than
that of calling the matter to at
tention my answer would have
been 81 Thank You" However,
since the name of my late husband,
C. Earl Cohoon, was used in what
was termed as discrimination, l am
forced to make my answer more
complete.
HB No. 897, dated March 20,
1915, introduced in the Legislature
by my late husband, does, as the
sheriff says, prohibit the payment
of the sheriff's bond premiums,
however, at the same time Section
81 of said H.B. increases the sher-
ifs income, from the then pres
ent salary of $1,000 per year, to a
$50 fee on all taxes collected by
the sheriff, plus fees, in connec-
ton with serving papers, summon
ing witnesses, and mileage. This,
according to the Tyrrell County
auditors office, in some instances,
more than doubles the initial
amount the sheriff received, prior
to the introduction of the bill.
This part or section of the law
is stated for the purpose of clear
ing the minds of those who might
have read the sheriff's letter and
got the wrong impression as to
the motives of my late husband.

Thirteen states have similar legislation their

About the only massed opposition to such laws found
in the union high commands which want workers to be
forced to join and dues whether they want to or not
Their goal is labor monopo-which would be every bit
evil both in practice and principle the financial and

Every state should have a law which permits any

at the time uphods his right not to join that is his

When S. w. Worthington of
Wilson was on the beach the 9TH
er day, he recalled that years
ago he bought a mile on each
side of the present highway for
$500. Although he still owns
some of it, he sold much of it at
prices that would be give-aways
today but were considered rea-
sonable when the deals were
made. But if he got a bargain,
what about the man that traded
a blind horse Cor was it an asth-
matte mule?) to a widow for a
big slice of what was then
thought to be useless sand on
