Tree That Is Sure to Bear Evil Veiluit
The Monroe Journal discusses a 1914 North Carolina bill allowing counties to abolish the county treasurer and appoint a bank or trust company as disbursing agent. It argues the measure is wrong in principle, risks politicizing county funds, and could be replaced by small salaries or existing county officials handling deposits with open competition. The letter from Henry A. Page explains mechanics and dates, noting Aberdeen and Union counties considerations and potential savings on commissions.

It cites feed, shelter, corn and sorghum cultivation, and breed performance while detailing efforts to eradicate cattle tick and advise breeders. It also calls for long term rural credit reform to replace the crop lien system, arguing for government supported rural banks and lower interest to aid farmers in North Carolina and beyond.
