CMaboh 18,1912 The first atop Salisbury needs to take for the re-eetablishment of her business interests and pro mote commercial-activity is to re-estahlish, av eign of law and oifio righteousness. No commun Ut Sodomixed as this need ever m . aspect to be much. "Salisbury is lbs place' to get your liquor. "Salisbury is the place" where they do not bserre law, "Sails bury is the place" for lieeusnoue bhi, ate., will quickly be the answer to efforts thaXdo not hare the temotal ot these things from oar midst as an object. Deoeut Deo Die do not oars to lire in or sake investments in tespeotable entexpriiM where there is no laif and they mast get down on a lerel with the lawless to get a hearing1, or obtain patronage. ' $30,000 or more was spent in road building, during the past year and less than BIX MILES OF ROAD HAVE BEEN BUILT, leaving the road from Ohma Grove to Saw oat of the count The three siilda of road to Faith coit about $1,000 per mile. The people hauled the rock free and the fete E. B. 0. Hambly gave the rook. The Bringle's Ferry road is now costing the county about $6,000 per mile. It runs right through the granite belt where rock is plentiful and easily rvobtained and the Oounty Commissioners are paying for all they geiiT Look at the recent oounty statement and yon will see that one of the commissioners is getting something along. These are the gentlemen who want to iuutbonds - fcr a new court house. -Why ? poor woman died here nast weelWtofewp i tt3he wi drunk and :she got that whiskey frOnT'some of the numerous blind tigers which the town aldermen are permitting, aiding and abet ting to unlawfully exist here. It is likely the town will have to pay for the outrage. This looks like criminal negligence on the part of the officials, both as to their f ailure to drive out these unlaw fui aesuen ana because tne wo man was thrown into such a place and left without attention. As Judge Harmon said in regard to corporations: "Grime is per sjual." So it is, and there ought to be a way to get at the fellows who are responsible for it. If a tuilding is burned and the town is responsible for the loss because the officials have permitted boys to pop fire crackers, then if a life is lost because the officials have permitted, contrary to law, men to sell poisoned whiskey, it looks like the town is also responsible. The only reason for the existence of retailers of whiskey in Salis bury is because the officials, U wn and oounty, are permitting it, deliberately failing to do their duty. The prohibitionists of Bowan County, a good' majority of the voiers, owe it to themselves to' arise and make themselves not only felt, but make themselves rulers of the oounty. They have lxady been too indifferent to th3 responsibilities assumed upon th glorious victory of May 23th, 1908 There are immr-us rea sons for such a course, the first of which is the 'enforcement of the law which they so heartily eham pie n j i. The blessings to be de-jbemin conjunction with the peo med from good laws will never pie, the privilege to vote cn the eomr -j long as their enforce-j larger expenditnree.

This is the condition of affairs in dalisbary and the county now, aud it will remain so, or grow worsy so long as the pi:or. of Uw and order sit in, 'id leu! and disregard the neoee , Jtfty of being tru- m-v atd of standing by the task undertaken until the remits desired are ao- oomplYhed. The prohibition act was made law by nonpartisan effort. High-minded, Christian men and women of all parties got together and won a great yictoryi but one that must be constantly guarded kn ha ' main similar effort need prohibitionists ever hope to retake the oounty and uphold the lit; only by such an effort need any prohibi tionist, republican or democrat ever hope to again hold an office in the county. Neither of these parties are willing for him to have a square deal. "He is ta booed, he is outlawed, yet he is in the majority and is quietly and 9 . foolishly sleeping on his rights He needs only to arise, get him self together and take charge of the whole "show." Shall tbis be done? Or shall this reign of law leasueaa and- incompetency be Dermitted to re-elect itself and a. continue in iti blighting course? Will some one start the ball? Now is the time, a little later may be too late to succeed. To nut $125,000 in a new court bouse is a most unwarranted watte of public mony. No bet ter and no lamer building man the present one will be the re suit. The statement made by the Oounty Commissioners that a new building is needed is not warranted bv the facts. Few court houses anywhere have larger auditorium than the one now in nae. not even that of the Supreme Oouit of the United States where nine judges sit at once and witnesses from 9very quarter of the land are summoned. It is furnished better however. The wise thing to do at th:s time is to put the present building, in terior and exterior, in perfect condition. It is a strong, sob stantial building and of hand some architectural design. At small cost it oan be remodelled to oompare favorably with similar structures anywhere. The pres ent structure can be worked over and so greatly improved that it would, e$ual anew' one and could nOTV recognised as the ism) buUdiog. The stucco can be renewed and painted, the interior walls oan be kalsomiued, or gilded, the floors can be renewed with hardwood or tiled, a slate roof can be put on, a cellar oan be dug and a heating plant installed, if necessary rooms can be added, and modern furniture oan be supplied throughout, including the auditorium, with brussels oarpeting and upholstered seats. With the building put in proper condition these things would look as well and harmonise as readily as in a new building and they could all be had for consid erably less than it is proposed to spend for a new building. It is not once out of a hundred times in building that the proposed ooat and the actual cost tally. Usually it is considerably more, besides this, the new building win nave to be utrnisned in an elegant manner, which will make some more big figures. But to spend $25,000 on the present building withoat submit ting the matter to the people would be uncalled for. The law empowering oounty commission' ers to repair and build court houses, jails, etc does not unbridle them and turn them loose to kick up tneir neele and snap their fingers at the people's rights and do as they please without let or hindrance, contrary to the wishes of the taxpayers. The law prob ably does not mean more than to dispos 1 of the necessity of peti tioning the legislature for a special act granting the right for the commissioners to keep build ings in proper repair and allowing 1 mm SALLOW COMPLEXION comes from bilious impurities in the blood, and the fault lies with the liver.

It is a very easy matter to spend pnblio money, very much too easy, and faithful pnblio servants would be slow to take . such a step. Such men always see the publio's interests, the people's welfare and looses sight of their personal wishes. They have the confidence and esteem of all and are praised for doing their duty Grafters are just the reverse. They are continually wanting to issue bonds, spend big money and care nothing for the public we) fare and the people's wishes, al though they are most wide mouthed in their pretensions . lien who make a habit of giving out contracts to the highest bid der instead of the lowest for the same goods, ought not to be per mitted to handle other people's money.

No true, honorable and patriotic official has ever yet had to go about dodging the indignant protests and calumies of an out raged constituency and he never will, for the meanest criminal is always willing to respect both his words and acts.
