&/?f ffcniltl. THURSDAY NOVEMBER 4. 1875. fcOMMI.'XTCATF.D.j County Expenses. Mr. Editor: —Two eommunientinns from Mnrion nnJ one from J. Henry Wood, have recently appeared in the Herald. Allow me space to offer a few practical thoughts suggested from read ing said articles. Marion writes like a man. who thinks, that our expenses and Taxes, can be reduced, and I agree with him, that at the next Election for officers front Governor to Constable, the people should vote for no man. who is opposed to a reduction of expenses.even though it should interfere with him in dividually. T will here state, that the pay of none of the present officers, can and onght. to he interior and with. hut the change in pay should be made applicable to those, who may be eketed in January 1877, and those who are elected then, can have no right to com plain, if they seek anil obtain an office of reasonable pay. According to the figures of Marion, our county officers, exclusive of Judge Robinson, received in 1871. the suui of $2 800. Of this amount, the Ordinary reeei'.ed, for at tending to the duties of the old Inferior Court, the sum 0f?250. The Collector and Receiver, each BLO4O and 5912, nd the Treasurer 8600. The duties of the Inferior Court should he taken from the Ordinary and placed in the hands of Commissioners, elected by the Grand .Jury, as is the case in numbers of counties, or the two hundred and fifty dollars, should he taken from the Ordinary and that amount saved. The offices of Collector and Receiver should be consolidated and let one man do the work of both at a Salary of SBOO. which is good pay for six monthslabor, as the duties of both offices can be discharged by one man in that time, lettiug the State and county pay the Salary of SBOO, in proportion to the per cent levied, thus if the State should levy five tenths of one per cent and the county, fihree tenths of oue per rent, the State would pay SSOO and the county would pay s.°>oo, making the SBOO. In this connection T will state, that in the years 1862 and 1863, Mr James llrook discharged the duties of b' t.h offices, with great satisf ction to the people, and I doubt if he received as much as SBOO, and I believe the present worthy Collector would ciisctiargc toe duties of b th offices for that amount, thus saving a considerable amount to both Stats and county. Of all the of ficers in county or State, the pay of the county Treasurer is the most unreason able; that officer get* two and one-half per re it 1 >r receiving and two and im half per cent for paying out the county funds. In other words, for receiving one thousand dollars from the Collector find paying the same over, perhaps in | Cvo minutes, to two and sometimes to one creditor of the county, the 1 rea- urer receives the sum of fifty dollars, when you can take one thousand dollars, (if ■you are fortunate enough to have that amount to spare) -end the same to An pnsta, have it invested in Stocks or Bonds and the papers properly trans feree! for two dollars and fifty rents.and that too by men. who aro dependent on receiving and payin': out money for a support. Thus a privato citizen can have done for two dollars and fifty cents, a th’nfr, which will cost the county, the BMAM. SUM of fifty dollars. There arc as good and reliable men. as •the county affords, who are perfect ly willing to give aqy Bond required by law and discharge the duties of reae urcr. for one half the amount now al lowed; yes, I will go further and say that by a proper consolidation of that office with some other, the duties of Treasurer can he discharged, without costing the county ONE CENT, and that by nn officer who can and trill pin any Bond required. 1 know whereof I affirm and all the talk about not get ting responsible men to fill the various ■ offices, if the pay is reduced, on account of the heavy bonds required is mere stuff and is done to deceive, as is easily shown, by reference to Burke county, one of the largest in the State, when the Tax Receiver, besides giving the usual Rond of Receiver, is required to give the Rond heretofore given by the Treasurer and docs not receive one cent for receiving arid paying out the county funds, arid there are similar Laws of consolidation in other counties and should be in Greene. ‘•‘Then why continue, an office at a cost of SGOO or BSOO per year, when the duties thereof can be discharge 1, by competent and reliable men. for nothing? I disagree with Marion about the pay of Judge Robinson and think, that so long as the county Court sustains iteelf’, his Salary should not be reduced. These sugges iious are given for the consideration of the Grand Jury.to give snchrcconimen dations, as they think proper, to be car ried into effect by our worthy and efii~ •eient Representatives. T.\x Payer. [FOB THF. UKP.U.U.] IReuiiniSicenees. John Armor, the first settler of Greene county, was born in Ireland, and at an early age immigrated to Vir ginia. Aftarwards lie removed to Greene county, and settled in Greencs -1 oro’ where he built tlie first house ever erected by a white man in the now flourishing city of Groeneshoro. This house was built on what is known as the Harper lot. He had five daughters and one son. The lattordied in youth. One of his daughters Martha, who married Holcoui'. e G. Harper, who is the only member of bis family now living—lias reached the good old age of 87 years and still resides in Greerips boro, with her son iu-law, Philip Clay ton. Esq. Thcother daughters married and moved away, lletsy married a Mr. Shaw, of Morgan county. Some of her children now Iwe in Madison. Margaret married a Mr. Dillard, of hei fa; ily the writor knows but little. — Isabella married Mr. Miller, and lived nnd died in Green; shorn,' whore seve al of her children are still living. Cinthia was married to Mr. Archibald Gray.— He built, him a log house where Wm- Armor now lives, but afterwards moved to Crawford county, where he prospered in the world, and •oeuinulated n large fortune His third son Rev. Alber' Grav. a Methodist Minister, is well and favorably known to the people of Greene eountv, having had charge of the Methodist churches on the Groene Cir cuit, before and since the war. Mr Archie Gray, was an honest and up right man, a consistent member ol the Presbyterian church and though called to endure great physical suffer ing bore his affliction with Christian fortitude and died in the faith, leaving behind him a bright teeord. Andrew Armor, a brother of John Armor, and grand-father of the Ar mors now living in Greene county came with his brother John from Ire land and settled in North Carolina. He bad no money to pay his way across the ••trackless deep” ami had to work a V-ar to pay his passage money. After living in North Carolina for a sh irt time, lie. with his wile and one child braved the dangers of the uninhabited forests in • one horse wagon and moved to Greene cou ity, Ga., where h settled on the east bank of the Oconee river at the place now owned by by Col. Jas. N Armor. At that day the Oconee was the limit of white occupancy, beyond the river rne untutored savage roamed tn undisturbed freedom. His principal crops were corn and tobacco—king cot ton not having assumed his autocratic sway, lie was quite successful in hi operations, and by frugality and in du.-try soou owned a large portion ol what is no - .v known as the 16J District, G. A!., ol Greene county. As before stated the principal crop was tobacco, of course the facilities for getting crops to market were ve v poor, and the fanners resotted to rolling tobacco to market. This consisted in arrang ing fellows (as used in wagon wheels) around the Hogshead in which the to bacco was packed and attaching a shaft to n pin at each end. To these sh ifts the horse was hitched and as he pulled the hogshead relied after. In this way tobacco was taken from our county to market at Savannah. In the year 1800 he concluded to speculate in tobacco,and accordingly purchased a large quantity of the weed which whs carried to Sa vanuali and loaded on a stop, bound •or the West Indie-. With thegl er ing prize shining before his eyes he embarked with the prospect of a most successful venture, but the vessel was lost ill a storm and lie with all on board perished in tho briny deep. He Ift one daughter and three sons, James, Richard and William. The daughter married and moved t the far Most— James the eldest son married and local ed in Monticelln (7a. The second son, Richard, never married—preferring a life of single blessedness, and died on the old homes!ea 1. The youngest son \V illiam was the father of four ehildr m to wit: Reuben. William, James Nelson and Mary Ann. William Armor, Sr., eventually came into possession of thi landed property of which his father died in possession and for some years lived iu the hoase erected by hij fatti er. Afterwards he moved farther fron the river on account of sickness at the old place. At this place he died at the advanced age of 75 years. His chii dren all are still living in the neighbor hood when thev were raised. Kstray Notice. f 'l EOUGIA —Greene County. W Rcutien A. Credille, of the l(i2d Dis trict, G.
