Fayetteville, 1W-43.?Much dis
satisfaction is beragerpressed here or
er the service Fayetteville Is getting
from the Carolina Light and Power
Company. This dissatisfaction is
caused by the repeated failure of the
electric current which the company
supplies this city. The city has been
left in darkness two nights thla wttak
owing to the fact that the line carry
ing the current to Fayetteville is sup
ported by oldtime wooden poles In
stead of the steel towers used on the!
lines to other important points sup
plied by the Carolina' company.
Forest Ores have put this line out of
commission on two occasions within
forty-eight hours, compelling the cot
ton mills, theatres, stores and cafes of
this city to cease operation and leav
ing the greater number or residences
| of the community in total darkness an
| til the damage could be repaired. This
trouble would be arerted entirely. It
| is said, by the use of steel towers In
stead of wooden poles.
The municipal government, which
obtains Its power for the city lighting
system from the Carolina company,
has urgently requested the company
either to construct a steel tower tine
to this city or install a duplicate wood
en pole line, and Secretary H. J. Mc
Bule of the Public works commission
has gone to Raleigh to lay the situa
tion before the power company. Bat
they hare refused all relief on the
ground that the work would cost too
much.
In the meantime patrons of the com
pany here are asking why Ffeyetteriile
cannot be given the same service sup
plied to the other larger places on the
company's lines and are hulnitng to
Inquire Into the corporation commis
sion's powers in the matter.

Editor. FrankUn Times.
Dear Sir:
Since my return to FVnnViin ''?"nty
T have heard more talk of hard times
than ever before. We are still living
fairly well, even tho it may be under
worse circumstances. It seems to me
while yp an in Ko.i ?.r.
we should stop talking hard times and
look forward to the future which T am
sure will-eventually show us that tiere
are better times iu store for us.
CVwmas Is here, a time set apart for
enjoyment and merriment and good
will .to all men.- ,1 think one of the
greatest duties we can perform to rJl
our fellow citizens, is to become more
closely associated with them and let
them know in some war we are ready
-io T>and <mt a hrtptng hand to {"he
needy party. Since my return here I
have seen so many that were not able
to properly feed and clothe their chil
dren. This has not been reported to
me but I have actually setrn it myself.
It makes me feel that I would like to
give something or at least assist in any
way I can to relieve the suffering chil
dren especially. I for one have not
turned down a single charity call, but
I am aiding them in any way that I
possibly can. I do not think that we
should always hold parents or rela
tives responsible for their children?
for often times their parents are ig
norant and are in no shape to take
care of their offsprings. Not uphold
ing anyone in this carelessness or
neglect for these cases?Instead I say
it falls to some one to look after them
or let them go on and not make any? j
thing of themselves.
I wish to call the pnotlc*! attention
to one of many cases I have seen near !
I?uisburg which appeals to me very
much. Something should be done for '
this girl. She should he taken from j
her parents and given a chance to
learn something. In the future she.
might make a useful citizen Tn spite of 1
her present surroundings. She Is a,
girl thirteen years old and does not
I know a letter, afflicted with results of
irvfantile paralysis for many years.?
Just a short while ago I was called to j
see her she had fallen in a pit and hart I
herself. I did not know anything.
about the people except that It would
be a charity case I went to see the
girl and Dr. A. H. Flemmg at my re- 1
quest made an X-Ray free of charge
and we found that this girl had a frac
ture off the femar of her afflicted leg. j
She is still under my care and I am
I trying to her a chance for that
|fracture to get well. However. It
hurts my feelings every time I se?
her. She Is lying in beC with prac
tically no attention and I hare my
doubts as to whether she gets the pro

we hare someone personally to take

beings and sometimes need help and
to make her happy. I also wish to
state that this child can be cured by
proper treatment by sending her to an

By a clock that registered an hour

convened, it was 12:05.

final readings on the \funiclpal Finance

I Ida t p faxes levied by counties for the

| details were completed within an hour
1 after the reconvening. Many of the
j members left after adjournment on
Jlate trains, and today the capital city
J will have seen the last of the legisla
tive throng.
> At the concluding session of the
.General Assembly, a commission of
five members, three from the House
and two from the Senate authorized by
?the Everett Resolutions to" study the*
Question of levying taxes to "meet the

i Distinction <-omoa to the special ses
sion because of the things it did not
? do. rather than by reason of its con
crete enactments. State-wide legis
lation proposed mounted to imposing
proportions, but in the mqjpHry nt
leased, it was mowed down by a persis
jtent determination not to upset the
'.existing statutes"to any greater extent
tthan was necessary.
State-wido measure^ rntitw>?l #?
1 adjournment included the following:
] A revised Municipal Finance Act; a
i resolution authorizing the bonding of
la $700,000 deficit in State School Fund,:,
;an act to validate taxes levied by
i counties for the support or six months
t school term, and to fix rate for 1921;
an act modifying taxes on banks, and

j Among the things the General As
sembly refused to do, are included the
| following:
I To pass the Long Ejectment Bill; to
! repeal State-wide primary law. to a
jbolish or modify capital punishment;
? to repeal the penalty for non-payment
of taxes; to enlarge appropriations to
'various State educational and custo
dial instiutions; to require Revenue
Commissioner to give publicity to any
; proposed reductions of property as
sessments.
Approximately half the five hundred
j bills that were offered in the General
I Assembly had to do with the validating
of local bond issues, the authorization
j of new bond issues, or the authoriza
tion of bonds to take care of the uoat
ing indebtedness in the various coon
ties and cities. Next to these in num
Iber were sundry provisions for the bet
