I On last Wednesday at her home in this place, Maria Lytle, generally j known as "Aunt Maria passed I away after a very short sickness. Born in Asheboro and having lived here for nearly seventy years, she was well knowi in the com' munity and was highly respected by the white as well as colored peo ple. She was a good wife and moth er and her well kept home spoke eloquently of her patient industry, One of the first members of the church at Bulla's Grove, her loyalty and faithfulness have been part of its history. Uer Christianity was practical, showing itself not only in service to the church, but iu deeds of kindness and charity to her neighbors. They looked up to her and sought her help and counsel in all times of 'sickness and distress, and she was a sort of mother to them all. Her manners were character ized by that old time courtesy which is rarely seen now, and her face was always shining with cheerfulness and kindness. The large number of people who attended the funeral. showed in what esteem she was held and her white friends were there to pay a last tribute to her memory, She was laid to rest just on the brow of the hill, and so she sleeps at home and will sleep until the .Resurrection Morn. X. Law Breakers In Office. In his address to the jury in the Samuels case in Greensboro last week, ex-Governor Aycock among other things said: Explaining the state of affairs, he said that Wilkes people had for generations been bred to feel that they had the right to turn their corn into whiskey, their fruit into brandy and when the Watts law even denied them the right of gov ernment still they simply moved back into the woods and with ninety fire per cent of the population, determined to resist the law and the dominant party there declaring it a hideous infamy it created an atmos phere of ""position to officers that i was not surprising. So great was this thai you find one of the chief jblock&dera s deputy sheriff, and f what the prosecution here calls the J king bee of them all, Lawson Davis I I made last year chairman i o f the county commission , rs. Government is never better than the people who are behind it, and when people who are behind the ( i officers say a law shall not be en i i forced it cannot be enforced. ITS POSSIBILITIES OUTLINED BY AN INDIANAPOLIS ARCHITECT. Care For LaVwna and Tree Estab lishment Park Betterment ot Back Yard Cleaning Street Sab. tltatina- Hedge Far Aller Fence. Betterment of towns Is greatly ad vanced by the work of civic Improve ment associations which have been es tablished In many towns and villages of the middle west Their purpose la to bo Influence the people of a town that they will Insist upon good pavements, clean streets, beautifully planted lawns, care of hack yards, the planting of shade trees, flowers and parks, Im provement of streams, bridges, water supply and, In fact, everything which will make uu ugly town beautiful or tend to further Improve a fine town, thus adding to the comfort and happi ness of Its people. Louis II. Gibson, an architect of Indianapolis, who has not only an eye for architectural beauty, but has made a study of this movement and has done a good deal of work in connection with it, makes the following practical suggestions for beautifying towns: Civic improvement is utilitarian first and artistic afterward. There Is little of art for art's sake In city building. Our first step after mere utility is cleanliness, then more utility and then art Under our form of government we cannot make a city or town beautiful by legislation. No one can Issue an edict and proclaim that we shall have, olevuted tracks. The will of an Indi vidual or of a legislative body cannot rid us of the smoke nuisance, even If it be such a simple engineering problem. The personality of a mayor of a city or town counts for little without active public support and sympathy. We can not act within the rigid confines of the law, but will be forced to follow the Influence of the most strongly express ed public sentiment. Active public Interest In municipal affairs means the expression of a high public conscience. A public sentiment In favor of a more beautiful city or town means a more beautiful city or t6wn. The moral assertlveness of a community must be .back of all legisla tion In order to make It effective through any executive. Public Interest born of public knowl edge of the healthful and normal be ginnings Is all that is necessary for the proper development of a successful park system. Inherently there Is no work less encouraging than that of a department of public parks. Necessa rily their work Is slow, it Is never fin ished. No park ever was finished. At the same time it is absolutely depend ent upon the encouragement and sup port which comes directly from the people. Many of us have lost a great oppor tunity in the neglect of our yards and particularly our back yards. In which we might have beautiful gardens. Who is It that may not buy seeds? Who Is It that may not grow marigolds, nastur tiums, verbenas, mignonette, moon flowers, bachelor buttons and many others that It Is a delight to think of? The cost of these flowers counts for nothing. The price ot theater tickets, a beefsteak or a few street car rides and one may have the joy of flowers from the seed or from slips for a whole year. Who will estimate the material or commercial value of civic art? Who will estimate definitely the value which comes to surrounding property from a well kept park? A property owner In vests a few dollars In trees to go In front of bis house and in his yard. Lay ing aside the question of comfort and beauty that has resulted from this ex penditure, who can estimate the mate rial, the money value which he has added to bis property? It is reasonable to say that no other legitimate Invest ment will produce the same return in dollars and cents, to say nothing of the aesthetic value. Beautiful bridges, well kept streets, general cleanliness, all have material as well as artistic value. The alley fence must go. It Is utter ly without excuse. It is ugly, it serves no good purpose, and there is a better and cheaper substitute. I speak of the hedge the hedge for rear division and alley fences. At our home we have a hedge fence three years old. The rear part which is osage, la avoided by boys, dogs and bones. Even the cats go around. It is infinitely more pro tective than the old tight board fence. Too much cannot be said for the hedge for all back yard fences. There is no excuse for ugliness. The I beautiful bouse, the beautiful surround ings, need cost no more than the ugly ones. In no community with wnicn I am familiar Is the most expensive bouse the most artistic. Beauty comes out of the beautiful mind, the fine spir it and Is not definitely related to the pocketbook. Nearly all of us fall to finish our homes by neglecting the grounds. That Which would yield the most for the least; expense is omitted. Ten righteous men may save us, not by personal activity, but through their psychological Influence on others. Ten righteous men do not 6a ve a city or town by keeping quiet about it They do not save a city or town sitting by their firesides or on their porches con templating the deficiencies of man kind in general and public officials In particular. The mere mention of things which a civic association may do is influential; the activity and earnest ness of a few righteous men mora so. Do not imagine that Just because we pay taxes we are already entitled to all a civic improvement association can give. We are not through when we pay. we must also see tnat our pay ments are well nsod. This Is only done under the dominating influence of pub lic sentiment public conscience and a high spirit of individual civic responsibility. STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA, Department of Stale.
