Tie Town Election
Our town officials for the en
•olng two years will be elected
in May. It is time for our peo
ple to begin to consider men for
mayor and aldermen so as to be
prepared to cast their ballots
for capable and courageous offi
cials. %
We are living in a new day—a
day of opporfnnty and responsi
/ bility,—and the people of San
ford are facing a new situation.
The women have been clothed
with the authority to vote since
oar last municipal eleofBfc, and
they will have a fine opportunity
to show their hand in the com
ing election.
We are living In strange times,
S *• been remarked before.
Vioe and crime are rampant.
The disorderly element are more,
disorderly than ever. Liquor
„ selling and gambling are going
on in flagrant disregard of the
law. Blockade liquor, we are
told, is flowing freely, and there
are many candidates for the pub
lic roads.
The tide of evil mast be check
ed by the strong arm of the law.
The orderly element of the com
munity are In the majority, and
It ia a shame to allow the boot
leggers and gamblers to ply
their trade before our very eyes.
There are said to be poker play
ers in this town who are leading
young men astray. They spend
their Sunkays, it is reported, in
- fleecing and being fleeced, in vio
lation of the law. The good c-it
isens are to blame if such things
do go on here.
The beat!thing the citizens of
. the community can.’do is to get
together and nominate the men
they want for mayor and aldei -
men. The rigid enforcement of
the law without fear or favor is
the beat remedy we have for
suppressing the lawless element.
A few of the leaders ia the blind
tiger business that is being car
ried on in the community should
be put on the roeds— ant ^ t
fine—but put on the roads. 'This
will do the business, and in short
order.
' Heretofore no general interest
taken in our. town eleo
^ most capable business men of
the town have not cared to be
mayor or aldermen. Usually one
> or two good men happened to get
on the board of aldermen, and
~ these men ran the town as best
they oould. We are not hiami«g
them. Somebody had to attend
to the matter, and the public re
fused to take any interest in town
affairs.
We suggest the falling of our
people together in mass meeting
*»r Uie purpose of nominating
oar municipal officers. And we
h°Pe the women will make
their wishes known. It will be
of ho use to go and sit back in
ailenoe and let any group put
over what they please. The wo
men are vitally interested in
home affairs. Let them speak
along with the men.
Am Information it is interest
ins to examine some figures that
relate to hard-surfaced road con
struction in North Carolina. In
toe last three or four years a
number of projects of this sort
have bapn undertaken,'and from
"*h®ee we can tell approximately
what it costs, A total of 66.32
miles of hard-surfaced roads
have been built in twelve coun
ties with toe assistance of funds
received from the Federal gov
ernment. The total cost of the
88,82 miles of road is f1,162,252.
The average per mile cost is
nearly 886,000. The various
projects have beeh hnder way in
a dozen different counties, with
toe mountain counties showing
a higher per mile cost. The
lower cost is nearly $80,000 per
mile. Cost of construction dur
ing this period has been neces
sarily high, but there is little
likelihood that it will decline
materially in tbe-near future.
From the foregoing we may
conclude that fifty million of dol
lars will build approximately
1600 miles of hard-surfaced
roadway. There are 100 coun
ties in the State. The average
per county construction would
be 16 miles. We may not expect
that much in Lee, as a number
at the counties will get more
than 16 miles. Some counties
will be lucky to get anything.
Those who advocated this plan
before the Legislature said they
wanted to make a start, and
While admitting that fifty mill
ions will not build a system ol
State, highways in any way ap
proaching adequacy they fore
saw that In the near future we
would have to issue more bonds
and build more roads.
The Education at Program
The educational program of
the state department of education
which waa submitted to the gen
eral assembly In four bills has
therefore become the school law
The four acts are as follows:
1. An act to provide revenue
for the public schools for she
months for teacher-training.
This act provides for annual ap
propriation of $1,400,000; of this
amount $600,000 will be used as
an equalizing fund to aid the
weak counties, $660,000 will be
used to provide teacher-training,
that is, for the support of Gul
lowee Normal school, Applachian
Training school, the three negro
normal schools and the Cherokee
Indian Normal school, which are
placed under control of the state
board of education. In addition
to this extra appropriations are
made -for teacher-training in
county summer schools, in high
schools, etc. Two hundred and
twenty-four thousand dollars are
appropriated for the encourage
ment of vocational education and
the aid of high schools in rural
districts.
The act also creates a division
of teacher-training, a division of
certification of teachers, a divis
ion of negro education, a division
of physical education and a div
ision of publication.
ihe bill provides that the
maximum rate to be levied bj
any county is 30 cents, and those
counties that cannot provide a
six-months’ school term with a
30-cent rate may draw the re
mainder necessary from the
equalizine fund.
2. The second important act
is that providing a bond issne of
$5,000,000 by the state, to be
loaned to counties on a basis of
20 years, l-20th with accrued
interest to be paid by the rounty
annually. This act will make it
possible for counties to secure
funds to erect a more permanent
type of school building. It pro
vides that none of this fund can
be used in erecting school build
ings containing less than five
rooms. It will aid materially in
promoting county-wide consoli
datioa.
3. The third act provides for
the adoption of text oooks for
the elementary schools. Accord
ing to the provisions of this act
the governor and the superin
tendent of public instruction will
appoint a text book commission
composed of seven representa
tives of the teaching profession.
These will be allowed about five
months in which time to select a
multiple list not to exceed six on
any subject. The state board of
education will then adopt books
from this multiple list. It pro
vides for two basal readers and
two basal primers and one basal
book on all other subjects. It
further provides that at the end
of the five-year contract only a
UmjVadnumber of books can be
I 4. The fourth important act
contains a number at small
amendments to the school law
The more important one provides
tar the consolidation of districts
and permitting the consolidated
districts to vote taxes. This in
cludes special charter, special
tax, and nan-special tax districts.
It also provides for the State
Board of education to amend or
repeal charters of special charter
districts upon the petition of the
governing authority. It farther
provides that the county board
of education shall organise at
the April meeting, and permit
the coanty board of education to
elect county superintendents be
fore the July meeting. It permits
the oounty commissioners to al
low a salary of $6 per day to the
members of the coanty board -of
education. These are the mors
important provisions of this act.
Maintenance appropriations
for the State’s charitable and
educational institutions as made
by- the Legislature will show an
increase over the last two years
of $2,595,837.
If the recommendations are
followed, the University will re
ceive $925,000. State College
$600,000, ’ Stonewall Jsckson
Training School $60,000, State
Sanatorium $200,000, Blind and
Deaf School $200,000, Morgan ton
Deaf and Dnmb School $220,000,
Hospital for Insane at Morgan ton
$850,000, Caswell Training
School $160,000, Hospital for In
sane at Goldsboro $440,000.
An appropriation of $120,000
is recommended for the Old
Soldiers’ Home at Haleigh, which
is an increase over the last ap
propriation of $30,000. The Ox
ford Orphanage is appropriated
$160,000. A. and T. College at
Greensboro $60,000. Orthopedic
Hospital at Gastonia $62,000.
State Board of Charities $40,000.
Agricultural Extension work
$284,000 and the Home at Sam
aroand $110,000.
Pensions for the old Confeder
ate soldiers and their widows is
put down at $1,500,000, or an in
crease of $200,000.
Probably the most sweeping
increase Is granted by the com
mittee to the State's Health de
partment. This branch of the
government is atioted $450,060,
which Is an Inc rouse over the
1919 appropriation for mainten
ance of $246,000.

RETIRES AFTER TWO TERMS
Friends of Wilson Say He Is as Modi a
Wounded Victim of Worid War as if
He Had Been Shot in Battle
Woodrow Wilson left the White
Honse Friday to seek health and
rest in a life of practical retire
ment for a few months, and then
panne his work for world peace.
Although it has been disclaim
ed for him that he woald cat
himself off from pablic men and
affairs, it U known, says a Wash
ington dispatch, that for several
months at least he will do little
bat take recreation. At his new
home recently acgnired in Wash
ington he will walk in the spaci
ous garden, and sit in the sun
shine. He will motor over the
rolling Virginia hills where he
used to play golf, and occasion
ally visit the theater.
After a few months of rest,
the former President probably
will take op the business of
literature where he left off when
he became governor of New Jer
sey. He does not expect to write
a history of the peace confer
ence, although he has in his
private papers the greatest fond
of material in the world on the
subject- He does expect t4 pur
sue his ideals of world peace,
just in what manner probably
no one else knows.
The second Democratic Presi
dent since Andrew Jackson to
fill two successive terms, Mr.
Wilson’s eight years in the White
Honse carried him through the
range of human emotions. He
was almost blindly idolized and
cordially hated. Profound peace,
the most terrible of wars, death
of a wife and help mate, court
ship and marriage, and finally
lingering illness all came in tnrn
to brighten or darken his days.
Eight years of it whitened his
hair, racked his frame and im
paired his physical vigor, bet
lid not rust his mind.
Characterized by his friends
as much a wounded veteran of
the world war as if he had been
shot in the battle, he goes back
to private life regarded by his
partisans as a living sacrifice to
his ideals.
Woodrow Wilson wao not a
well men when he took ap the
presidency. He wn threatened
with Bright”* disease, which
physicians diagnosed as having
been brought about by a parti
cular treatment tor head colds
** which he and the first Mrs.
Wilson-wars' adtflesw rwna pH
died • soon otter, bat his esse
yielded to care.
Some years before that, Mr.
Wilson had suffered a throm
bosis in one of his legs. It was
the lodging of a blood clot in sa
artery, bat because of its location
not serious. It was, however, a
complaint of the same nature
which caused his breakdown in
1919, when the clot formed on
the right side of his brain, im
pairing the control of hie left
arm and leg.
Little known also, is the fact
that Mr. Wilson, like Mr. Roose
velt, was practically sightless, in
one of his eyes- Bursting blood
vessels in the retina practically
made it useless, although the
impairment was in part over*
come by the use of eyeglasses.
He suffered also from nervous
indigestion. With a pre-disposi
tion to take cold easily added to
tills list of troubles, Woodrow
Wilson took np the . arduous
duties of the presidency with far
less physicaljequipment than the
public generally gave him credit
for.
Once in office the round of
complexities which brought Mr,
Wilson praise on one aide and
damnation on the other waa not
long in starting, and like a snow
ball rolling down hill continued
to take on volume until the daj
of his departure from the White
House.
Washington will now have a
President and one of the two
living ex-Presidents on its hands
and officialdom is very mush in
terested to see how it will work
out.
