Next Saturday will be "Work Day" for the orphanages. lt is a pretty custom ttint sots aside one day each year on which all so disposed aro urged to contribute their earnings to tho support of tho orphans of the State. How many in Oconoe will join In this "labor of love"? The Work Day contributions to the orphanages have proved great blessings In the past, and should prove no less so this year. There are, of course, many with whom the setting aside of tho whole day's earnings ls an impossibility, but all can contribute something. Let those who can sparc the entire earn ings for tho day do so; let all of us set aside as liberally as possible and send to the orphanages of our pref erence. Remember that next. Saturday has been set aside for a specific purpose, and join In the spirit of the occasion for tho purpose of helping tho help V?VHN\ J Xl i'" ' 'ti V i v > .

Kay we state here that he not only had nothing to do with the protest, bul filed a state ment with the County Chairman to tim effect thal the protest was with out his advice or consent and against his wishes. After considering the protest and demand for consideration at the hands ol' the County Executive Com mittee, Chairman Moss called the committee to meet in the Court. House at M o'clock Tuesday, So|i tember 21th, at which time a meet ing was held. Members Ol' tho com mittee from all over the county ap peared and were ready to take np the matter for thc consideration ol' which they had been called, but Tlie parties win? filed the protest were not present. Nor was Hier?' present a single wit ness named by (hem to substantiate the charges made in (lie protest. The meeting proved to bo nothing moro nor less than a farce. llore were Ibo County Chairman and mem bers of tho Executive Committee, ready to discharge their duty . an un pleasant duty under any circum stance, and one that necessitated In convenience of travel and Ibo loss of lime yet tho men who made neces sary their gathering did not appear, nor (?iii a single witness they had named. Certainly such occurrences aro de serving of severe criticism. Tito men who hob! positions as Executive Committeemen have enough to do In the discharge of tho regular duties that fall to their lot without being subject to such Inconvenience al the hands of irresponsible parties. There should be some rub- adopt ed, we think, whereby the County Chairman would bo clothed with power lo pass upon tho merits of a protest that might be flied, so thal ho could call tho Executive Commit tee together If tho cause should bo found meritorious, or refuse to do so if there was, on thc face ol the pro test, nothing In ll. We know nothing of the situation as presented In tho case to which we refer, but wo venture the assertion that, had tho County Chairman been clothed with the power wo have sug gested as advisable, there would have been no mooting of th? Executive Committee yesterday, and a lot of gentlemen whose Hmo ia valuable to them would not have boon Inconven ienced, TIM) UVE HTO?K ASSOCIATION. Will liol?!
