Friday. July 28 1911.
The moat correct plan is to have
high valuations and low tax rates.
It now b . gtas4o?look* as if tb?
more a man gets the more he wants.
Surely the Street Committee is
not going to stop the hands from
the street work.
It is considered by all a most
cowardly act to attack a man with
abuse in his absence.
It is strange to 'see how blind
some people are towards things contrary
to what they want to believe.
Press reports yesterday sav that
Mr. C. W- Tillett will uot be a candidate
for governor in the next campaign.
Judging from the extracts reproduced
in Saturday's News-Observer
it looks as if Coventor Kitchin has
failed in his public trust. " '
The latest returns from Texas
show that the recent prohibition
election held in that State was carried
by thy antts by a small majority
The people of Franklin county
hare always stood ready t? acknowledge
tbeir appreciations of tbe right
and there is hardly any chance of
their changing.
Mr. Lock hart, in Wednesdays
News-Observer sat a he "knew the
Governor bad torgotten his campaign
'. pledges and the issues upon which he
was elected, but his memory is worse
than he thought."
Gov. Kitchin's answer to the
Lockhart letter was published in
Sunday's News-Observer. It was a
lengthy document but not enough
so to convince the public who heard
his campaign speeches to his way of
seeing it.
The Raleigh News and Observer
says the American Tobacco Company
has advanced the price of cigarettes
to Raleigh jobbers and it is
charged that the company is trying
to make good the expense of the
Ware-Kramer damage suit.
The business men may think they
are saving a few dollars in not spending
anything to extend the trade
limits of Loniebnrg, but while they
are holding back, other towns are
stepping in and getting the basinets
that would come to Louisburg il
proper effort was made to get it.
The vote on reciprocity in the
United States Senate Saturday dn?
not settle the measure, although it
was carried by a large majority. It
' now begins to look as if Caaady will
have as strong a fight as we have,
as the sentiment is divided between
two factions. One 'claims it to be a
measure which will tend towards
separating Canada from the Kingdom
and uniting it with the United
States while others think it is all
right. So even now after~so long a
fight there is no ceitainty as to
when ye may have reciprocity.
