There are some that do not require it, please God,? but Oh! there are so many more who do. Too long these children on the threshold of manhood or woman hood are permitted to be elective in habits at home and at schoolj_ The responsibilities of Citizenship should be impressed upon them at home and in the school room Just as soon as they are capable of ^understanding the first principles of Government and organization. If this Is exacted pro perly and with lucid explanation it is then easier for these boys and girls to understand later the reason for laws and requirements of civil au thorities. Judges and prison author ities assert that mostly men and wo men who have gone wrong have done so because of lack of training when young In the fundamentals of human society; of failure In explanation that '?he Church, the sUte and the school all are created for the benefit of what might be termed their "Institutional sense." Therefore, let us start these young people on the right path, ever reminding them that It Is more Im portant to give to the mind propor training and Ideas than to concern themsMtes so much about the appear ance and drees or undress of the body. You do not, you cannot appreciate the feelings of men about these things St. Paul said "Brethren, these things ought not to be." Try to turn th?m e.way from present day tendencies, the boys from what they are pleased to call being "sporty," the girls from thinking too mucli of their dress and attractiveness.

MONDAY SETS NEW MARCH WEATHER RECORD Monday set new records for March weather in Raleigh, according to a statement made last night by C. B. Denson, director of the local weather "bureau.

To fii^d anything approaching yes \ terday's ftiark the weather statistic ians had to dig all the way back to i894, 27 years ago. On March 19, of that year, the thermometer touched 85, but recent years has seen nothing like the recent speU of warm weath er which culminated in the general shedding of coats yesterday. According to Mr. Denson there has been only one day In the 23 day period beginning February 27 and ending yesterday in which the leverage tem Jperature for the Way has hot exceeded j normal. The sole exceptioq was oii i March 4, which fell one degree short I the average for the period has been j 16 degrees above normal and has been the kind of weather which the books say should not arrive in this locality until the first week in May. But the average temperature yes terday wan 75 degrees, a full 13 points above the mark of 52 that is set down jin the books for March 21. and was 'the brand of weather ordinarily ex pected in the last days of May. However there muat be an end to I all good things and the period ended with the record smasher yesterday. Colder weather has prevailed in the North and West for several days and Mr. Denson stated laBt night that Ral eigh people? will have to wait several weeks before getting "more of the same."

People who vote have a great ad vantage over thoao who only ar^ue ABOIT TAX VAU'ATIONS. Mr. Editor of The Times Will yon please allow me a small spact> in your paper ? ahnm ? tax? ? ui_ this county. Lots, of farmers, lots of fairly prosperous farmers even are 4?t?rd up to it XQ, tod rnway to pay their taxes, for taxes on real estate, especially on farm lands are some thing unprecedented in this county and especially in Cedar Hock town sliri*. Many of u-< find ourselves pay inK more t hait-twice as much tax on our farms as we ever paid before and at a time like the present this is in ma ny cases iui almost unbearable bur den. It is one thing ought to bo rem? edied now for manv years most farm land .in this county have been assess- ] ed ?ir-oiHy-a limJ'lluli or us value ouf assessors have been putting land too "Tnw ^al'U'l I ill' ll |illf f) i t.ir prfir at the highest allowable figures thus avoiding the payment of their Just share of state taxes. Now the valua tlon or revaluation act has got land too TiTgh, especially In Cedar Rock, tell me that land in Cedar Rock is higher valued than any township in the county and I don't see why that should be. We are ofT In the coun try and our land is not worth aa_much j as it is close t<y*\own" and we have no [railroads close to us. It is true there was some land sold very high In Ce* jdar Rock but it was sold on time and j that was not a true valuation of land because it ^ras on time. A true _yal ; uation Is for cash but our appraisers i must have thought that it was worth {as much on'flmo an-it? waa for cash. Now Mr. Editor there ought to be j something done to help the farmers out of trouble, and if there isn't some thing done I am afraid in two years from now things will be different 'There U no excuse for land to be va lued higher in Cedar' Rock than the at its true valuation I don't think any body would complain of same incre -an<> in their proportions of the burden | as .it Is we have a right to complain and a right to demand a readjustment. rOtir present tax burden is too heavy, [especially for a time like this when 'wi- h*v? all wi' ran stand up nmler ^anyway^ ? There timet be -a re^sscss | ment and it roust be made to conform ; more closely to real' values of land-. ? I know several farmers say that they joaa't p?y their tail for laat, year, that 'their tix is over as much again as it the year before. Mr. JBflfto* I imve i.net' kwhi iwn nenqcQ men to sav what htn<l is worth, in liis town sh\?L to take one man that never farm j ed to value land, why de doesn't know .{what land is worth and if he has a jraan with him probably that man is interested in selling land and would put it'at time prices su as to sell his tor a high price. Now you know that [is not fair to the farmer who has I worked hard all of his life to get a :home for himself and wire. I know iot one instance in Louisburg town ship, one tract of land four miles from 1 town and right on the road is valued cne-third less than the land around ? it. This was in the appraisers of course for the farm that is valued at about one-third less *s worth as much as any of it. for I know all of the land myself. 15ut Cedar Rouit Is imposed on worse than any township in the county. Yours truly, W. (). STOXE. TO ORGANIZE COMBAT TRAIN. Messrs. R. E. Underwood and K. J.

THE SALARY PLAX FAULT, Under the salary system the cotftfty officials are required to collet tbe n;sfnmary and rommlssluut SfFfl to turn theee ov?r to the county tre ajBiixer to be placed in a fund out of The temptation is to neglect to col lect these fees and commissions since they do not gX5~tnto the private pock ets of office holders as under the fee plrtn? und the result in ? nrrr ? salary counties is that the salary fund st eadily dwindles until it is soon too small to pay the courthouse salaries. ; This tras been true in every one oj our salary eouirtias, with only a few ex c options. Salaried nir\n ir,i? fan lu._ do their ^ull duty,. nobody knows in. detail wliiit their ianures are, and the general public only knows that the | laot estate of the county is worse- tH an"TTT^?1trsr: Or so it is in most sal ary counties. Practically everywhere- courthouse bookkeeping is on "the old cash-book plan; there fa jio effective supervision of county office finances, no state wide auditing of courthouse accounts, as easily there might be ? as, for in stance, after the plan of state-wide auditing of state banks by the bank examiners of the State Banking Com mission . A State Auditing Bureau What we ought to have is a state I auditing bureau with competent field agents, auditing state department ac | counts, county accounts, municipal 1 accounts, and institutional accounts. All agencies that handle public mon ey In North Caroling, ougnt to be un-* der systematic oversight and audit ing. And this state auditing bureau I ought to devise simple forms for pub | lie account-keeping, balance sheets and financial reports; so that one city j city in unit expenditures for public ! purposes, one county with every oth ter county, one institution with every I other institution. I At present there is no wayof judg ! in* how well or ill any set of public officials is handling public moneys. Such public accounting ought to be TYgVgToped as" a bureau in the office oC -the state auditor, and the stale audi tor ought to be everything that his of ficial title implies. I We are discussing many things in 'this legislature, but a few ahc Things I like this are fundamentally important, i and thttaa. lunflftjnftntal things ought 'noE to^o oybfloffkeet? Onrliam ('an Do It Hon . Baxter DllHluiu. on i state au* (Utar, is fully, and competently Advis j ed of the necessity and the manner of statewide auditing systems. He can 1 easily present to the legislature a sat isfactory bill, and doubtless would do I so if called., upon, as he ought to be | during the present session of the leg | islature. j The above suggestions grow out of the Franklin county reports giving detailed figures of the salary fund in Franklin county. See the Franklin 'Times of February 4. ^ So far as we /know, there are only I five other counties of the state that I give county taxpayers an exhibit of I this . sort ? Forsyth, Guilford, Wake, 1 New* Hanover, and Robeson. There j may be otfterHTTtf so, we should like to know about them. People who are interested in county finance ? and i every intelligent voter ougnt to be so interested: ? would do well to look at the Franklin cunty report. What the voters of every county should know about the home county the Franklin taxpayers have a chance to know about Franklin. We congratulate Messrs. A. J. Joy ner and C. C. Hudson, the finance committee of the Franklin county commissioners. ? University News Let ter. AFTER I4-H01R STOP HEART BEATS AGAIN ANI) PASTOR LIVES. Geneva, March 20. ?
