one time. The Building and
Loan Associations are doing much
good and should be encouraged
to the end that they may do more
and more for those who canno^
and will not lay by their savings
unless compelled to do so in or
der to not forfit their chances to
build and own their own home.
So many of us start in with the
inte ition to save, but soon be-
ccme careless and spend what
we have already saved unless
we are shareholders in some
good building and loan associa
tion, take out what share you
can carry aod the local secre
tary will do his best to encourage
you to keep them up to the end
that you may own your own
homes.
■itat?red as second-^lase matter ^lay
1908. at the post office at Burling
North Carolina, under the Act of
^2!?Tes3 of March 3 1879
Today a week the Central As
sembly of North Carolina meets
m extra ordinary session to con
sider the proper means for the
forcing of common carriers of
Korth Carolina to give us just
freight rates. We have already
said that this legislature will
amount to nothing unless the
>'«ople at home determines with-
m themselves that this relief
jnust be had. So far the people
of Burlington and Alamance
County have played MUM on
this all importaiit industrous
question. Any business or any
other person who is willing to
live in North Carolina and pay
mice the freight rate of his Vir
ginia neignbor is not entitled to
success and nothing but failure
should crown his slothful acts.
We therefore, say that the peo-
■^ie of Alamance County must
administer their interest in
ireight reduction if they have
iny, if not, let them uphold the
Lands of the Railroad Company i
tn robbing our state of Five Mil
lion Dollars annually in exces-
sve freight rates.
MaiQy Will Save.
The beginning of September
marks an intensified activity not
snlyin the world of trade and
yf real estate, but with the build-
jng and loan associations as well
Mot all of the local associations
^>pen their new series at the same
!fime a.i i) terval of a month inter
vening between some, but shares
!or thenev/ series are purchasable
sow in all the different oftices.
Toe Mecklenburg, the Charlotte,
she Mutual, the Mechanics and
the Home are all confident of a
'large business. Those which
do not begin the new series until
ihe first Saturday in October
meet the competition of those
who open in September by plac
ing shares on the market and by
fiving applicants for loans the ad
vantage of their priority. One
association which began its ser
ies Saturdaji' has already sold
more than 2,000 shares of stock
'^hich will be worth more than
:|200,000 in less than six years
and a half from now, and prac
tically every cent of that $200,000
is to be earned and saved in this
5«riod.
The above was clipped from
^he Charlotte Observer of some
iaysago, merely to remind our
3«4s.ders that there is a splendid
Suilding and loan association at
Burlington, Graham, and Meb-
lae, also at Hillsboro, N. C. and
what these associations are do
ing for Alamance and Orange
mnties possibly not upon so
fefe a scale, yet they are help
'Mg thousands to save and build
lo;vSies of substantial character,
.mking better and more prosper-
MS citiaens, and teaching them to
fss^e who heretofore have been
jpeisdthrifts and careless about
Iheir future prosperity, let the
»4ilM*tafitial buaness men get be-
our local building and loan
JEeodations and teach those who
j£Te not familiar with their work-
mg how easy it is to save and
homes ail free and clear
from encumbrance by the time
their shar^ mature. There is
m- higher duty any one can per-
lerm than to teach their feJlow
how to save and own homes
The Street.
The street of this town is Park
Avenue, or what was formally
known as Railroad Avenue, it
is made from sand clay, and we
understand cost about one thous
and dollars, it is the only street
in town where it would seem we
got our monies worth, and yet
we understand that this street
has not been paid for, nmply be
cause two enterprising citizens
went ahead without written
contract with the city, and con
structed the street with a gen
tlemans understanding that it
was to be paid for at some future
time, this paper is not interested
in these two citizens any father
than we are interested in any oth
er two good citizens, but we
want to go on record in favor of
paying these parties for construc
ting this street, and we are
further in favor of making a con
tract with them to construct all
the other streets out of the same
material and in the same mann
er, taking the cost of this street
as a basis we could make every
street in this town just as good
for about six thousand dollars;
this would be money well spent
and the streets would be a cre
dit to the City. Allow us to sug
gest to the street committee
that they get busy and give this
matter the consideration that^he
merits of the case demand.
Tite Split Skirt.
The Red Springs Citizens hits
the nail and the head thus:
“The split skirt with scanty
appearei underneath, is receiv
ing hard knocks from the Wilm
ington Star and Raleigh News
and Observer. Home is the place
to correct the evil, and mothers
should be held responsible for
the sins of thfeir daughters in
this respect. Anyhow,, girls don’t
make the fashions, but only put
them into effect and they could
not wear such notorious gar
ments unless they were furnish
ed ‘'y their home folks. A ra
tional law or an appeal to the
home is the only reniedy for any
girl who wears a split skirt such
as those said to be worn in Wilm
ington, cares very little for the
newspaper man's opinion but
rather enjoys the write up.”

HOWE’S SHOW COMING.
The Yoimg and Vice.
(Union Republican)
The statements made by Dr.
C. A. Harper, secretary of the
state board of health of Wiscon
sin, before a legislative vicp
committee, ought one would
think, to startle parents. They
are so extraordinary as to sug
gest that we may be on the eve
of a radical change in our moral
standards and ideals. Certain
it is that vfe are more free and
easy than ever before. That
there is an alarming disregard
of the old restraints of boys and
girls we are all know. Dr. Harp
er charges that this disregard
has gone far. He said.
Take t! e situation among tl e
students in the Madison ' high
school a year ago, when the com
munity was astounded to find
that twenty young girls of re
spectable parents were guilty of
indiscretions. It was charged
that a coterie of boys in the
school had banded together and
ostracized from the social life of
the school virtuous girls who
would not submit to their de
mands.
Perhaps if we paid just a little
attention to red-light dis-

The right spirit prevailed at
the Mass Meeting held Monday
night in the ware house. If this
degree of enthusiasm and co
operation could have been de
monstrated years ago in our
town, we would not only have
larger sums of wealth, but we
would have more harmony in
business and more co-operation
in public enterprises. However,
there is a woeful lack of interest
in the tobacc 3 market on the
part of some of the ware house
men and that these gentlemen
should learn that the movement
to make BurUngton one of the
best tobacco warehouse towns in
the State, is the prinaary interest
of the warehousemen and only
secondary to other interest of
our town and county. There
fore the warehousemen must
give their united support to this
laudable movement.
