Present Prosperity.
from childhood, we have learn-
cil from our teachers and by ex-
mple that a National adminis-
(it government by the de-
yj:iy\rz^; party always means trou-
with industrial conditions and
;§aancial stability. During: the
g>mt week Mr. J. Bryan Grimes,
,ifee;, of State offered to the bond
Iscying public $140,000.00 of N.
C f per cent non taxable im
provement bonds, but we fear
^^5^' should be called deficit
ibads to cover the three-fourths
isllion dollars deficit that was
WB523rred during the last two
.^aa^ of Governor Kitchen's
jdministration. Let's go back
^ the first question. Of this
issue. Only $154,000.00 was
j»id, this amount being taken by
Hiorth Carolinians and local
Sffiaksj, not one subscription was
received from beyond the bound-
:js?5e® of our own State
The strongest thing of it all is
ihstfc Mr. Grimes before he has
mm been aptroached by any of
lias opponents he goes into an
vi§5ib@rate explanation in an efect
Ife* defend the present depressed
^ndition of the money market
m America. He explains this
jDi^ition by sayi»^g that it is not
)2ear so bad as conditions were in
'M)7, when ‘‘SGrib-’ was|. issued
bfj saany of the banks df N. C. to
Sde them over their then finan-
3ia} condition. He adds further
3feat Prance, Germany and En-
s^land are even more handicapped
M the present than ever before,
usnd if it wa*> not for thtse de-
^ssed conditions abroad we
would have no trouble at home,
although conditions are not so
%d here as we think they are to
iM':. In other words he follows
"as? theory of the Christian
Sefentist. They believe that no
g?S£Bda ever becomes sick. Sick-
msm- only a condition of
the the remedy is there
fore beheve yourself to be well
jffld all trouble at once passes
.iway. So is the Secretary of'
estate. He says to the money!
interest of America believe I
everything to be safe and sane ‘
;a«d you will buy N, C. bonds
jnd all other good securities that
my be offered from rime to
In other words he is pre^
aching the doctrine that faith
will perform the same mission
^’^h the Soul of the money king
willin the heart of a con-
Christian believer. We
tlave- read lots of funny expiana-
^aMis and uncalled for statements
Ibnt we have never read or heard
of any that is so ridiculous
ind uncalled for as that made by
Mr„ Grimes,
Xt is said that a guilty consci-
5Ki5e*i»eed no accuser, we believe
this statement applies in this
sase v/ith full force. We are still
living in hope that the day may
dawn and the sun shine bright
and fair on a people that are true
siiough to their country and hon-
smi. enough with themselves to
sast aside all their prejudices
^shat they hold against former
For over a year Burlington peo
ple have been making a continual
request with the Southern Beil
Tel. Co, to place in our town a
Central Battery Telephone Sys
tem. After much delay this
company has acceeded to this re
quest. In granting this request
they have offered us the best
equipment that money can buy
and we believe have made a very
liberal proposition as affecting
telephone rates to local subscri
bers, but strange to say when
presented to the Board of Alder-1
men for a radification of a new s
franchise the matter has been |
referred to a number of commit
tees and been unnecessarily de
layed. After the facts had all
been stated again at the meeting
last Monday night the board
without any consideration for
the company without any regard
for the people they served moved
the tabeling of this franchise
until the next meeting of the
board. Why this was done they
did not explain, but the only pre
sumption that can be drawn is
that they wish to waste another
meeting of the board and no
thing be done.
The new board of aldermen
has now been in power about six
weeks, and what they have done
towards reform or retrenchment
in not a matter of a record-, all
that we can find is that they have
wasted these meetings in oiling
the old machine, and puting on
the same old cranks that were on
this instrument in formei times
and creating new officers and
supplying these new vacancies
*\nd we understand are now con
sidering the advisability of in
creasing the salaries of several
of their present officers which
will continue the increase on the
floating indebtedness of Our toWn
aanually, but wise indeed they
are, they have decided in Tam
many Hall if not in regular ses
sion to meet this continuous de
ficit it is necessary to increase
the tax rate 25c on the hun-
d-ied, thus making our total tax
rate for the town $1,75.
It seems to us that the import*
ance of the situation demands of
the Board of Aldermen that they
hold out every inducemet pos
sible to cause increased capital to
invest within our borders. If
present . conditions continue
and the present efficient board
continue to administer our
municipal interest. It is only a
question of time when failure
shall walk in at the front door of
every property owner in Burling
ton, If the policy of the Board
is to continue for the next twen
ty-two aiid one half months as it
has for this beginning perifid, we,
are in favor of paying their sal
ary now discharging every mem
ber and turning over the affairs
of the town to some oucsiue
party. The putting off of any
important matter is a serious
mistake, because it means a loss
of that much development along
the line proposed and it prevents
justconsideraton being given to
other matters that should have
the attention of the Board,
We are speaking this to the
Board of Aldermen as a friend,
who is interested not only in
their individual but collective
welfare, therefore, any mistake
that the Board of Aldermen
makes reacts not only upon
themselves but upon every
citizen of the town. Therefore,
gentlemen you must be zealous
in your business progressive in
your acts and enthusiastic in the
cause if you wish to reap a just
revNfard.
Trusting that you may never
again serve as nine lost sheep
wandering upen the hill sides of
a municipal Mountain Range
filled with many canyons
and crowded with many snow
to which we pre-
sume^pu are, wendiiag your way*-
but we hope you may take new
heart and press forward a little
more zealously than you ever
have before.

Old farmers can hardly recaii
a year in which tiie strain upon
the cotton crop has been greater
than that wliich has marked
this spring. Yet, thougn C£ie
crop is easily two weekd ia.ce,
possibly three, it looks well and
needs only the renewal of hot
weather, wi^h plenty of sun
shine, to make it a good one.
The phenominaliy cool weather
which has prevailed for two or
three days has been the third
strain upon the crop, late plant
ing being the first and the May
drought the second. But the
farmers are in good spirits and
they know what a hardy cotton
is, to stand all the hard knocli:s it
gets. — Raleigh Times.

poratioh of th« bill in the House.,
There haVB been numerous in-
dication^si that special interestd
were potential in the preparation
of the bill in tlje House, aithpugb
in this case they re presen tediini;
porters/whereas in the prepara
tion of Republican bills they re
presented ntanufacturers. The
principle is, of course, the same
iThe method employed by the
I House committee was such as
I inevitably to lead to a good deal
! of pressure upon Senators for
j changes in the bill Numerous
small manufacturers who were
unable to secure any information
as to the provisions of the bill
touching their business until af
ter it had left the Democratic
caucus, found when they came
to *VashiRgton that it was im
possible to secure any change in
the House,?but they were told,
upon appealing to Mr. Under
wood and other memb r_ of the
Ways and Means Committee,
that no opposition would be made
by the House to the adoj-tlon of
reasonable amendments by the
Senate, Naturally, this turned
all these manufacturers to the
Senate, where they are now met
by the investigation ifiStigat^d
by the President. This adroit
manipulation of the matter by
the Democratic leaders is calculat
ed to Jgive the appearance of a
genuine effect to put through a
bill uninfluenced by special in
terests while, in fact it covers
up any special work that may
have been done in the prepara
tion of the bill in the House, It
would be extremely interesting
to see a thorough and conscien
tious investigation of the making
of the bill in the House as well
as of the alleged lobbying in the
Senate,
