Editor Enterprise:—I hear a low subterranean gowl-gumble like distant thunder portending the gathering of a storm. The taxpayers are certainly dissatis¬ fied with the action of the com¬ missioners, and they have asked them to give an account of their stewardship. The taxpayers want to know why they have paid one physi¬ cian nearly seven hundred dol ars of the people’s money. But they answered not a word. They are as silent as death. It is as the general pulse of life stood still—not a bugle note is heard. One man told me they said the taxpayer was too light—like the proverbial gnat on the bull’s horn. As much as to say, “the taxpayer might grumble much as they please, it did not disturb them.’’ Now the taxpayer came with another request: “Why was not the proceedings of the court pub l.shed until after the primary?” Let us see if this is again the proverbial gnat on a bull’s horn. Do you feel so securely seated in your royal chair of state that there is no power to unseat you. I am sorry to believe our govern¬ ment is fast becoming dominated by a moneyed oligarchy. But I am glad to sav it has not yet fastened its fangs on the vitals of our land. Now, when Lamar did something his people thought wrong, he had the n an hood to resign and go before the people and ask their endorsement of what he had done and tney endorsed him. Now, have these gentlemen got nerve and manhood to do like¬ wise. I am sorry to say I don’t believe they dare resign their nomination and go before the people on their record. If they haven’t got the manhood to re¬ sign, then I think the taxpayers ought to ask them to resign. In another matter the court re¬ minds me of what Uncle Johnnie said when he hired an overseer. The first year it was “your mules, etc.” The second year it was “our mules, etc.” The third year it was “my mules, etc.” This court is acting just as if the taxpayers were servants and they were Lord of Creation. They asked the taxpayers to au¬ thorize them to issue bonds. The taxpayers said “no.” They say by their action “you have acted the fool, and w r e will give you another opportunity to do as we order you. If you act the fool again w’e will make you sorry for it.” Mr. Editor, I am a friend to every member of the board. 1 haven’t a single unkind feeling for one of them. I write alone in the interest of Mitchell County and her taxpayers, not that I love Caesar less, but that 1 love Rome more. They are setting a prece¬ dent that is far-reaching and will bankrupt the county and enslave tne people. Fellow taxpayers, had I the power I would dip my pen in the liquid lightning and throw my voice in the bellowing thunder and ask the taxpayers to rise up in their might and shake this oligarchial bondage from hc-r like dew drops from the lion’s mane. Now’, if you rise up in your might and teach officers every¬ where that they are servants of the people and not masters, it would be a lesson that will sound along down the corriders of time. Then instead of reminding the taxpayers that they are but the gnat on the bull’s horn, they will be reminded of that fable, “When the gnat flew on the bull’s nose and stung him until he laid down, bellowed, pounded up the earth and threw his tail over his back.” I am unutterably opposed to any bond issue that saddles twen¬ ty-five thousand dollars debt on tne county and build an eight or ten thousand dollar jail. It is bad financially. Let them use a little economy and stop paying out money only for the public good, W. L. Scaife. LOCAL NEWS OVERFLOW.
