NEW ROAD BENEFITS TOWNS.
The early establishment of regular
train service along the line of the
■\VinBton-SaJem Southbound is a cau.se
of genuine delight to the towns of
Stanly and Anson counties, for it
means the culmination of long-hoped
for oi)porttinitics.
Kspccially is this true of Wadesboro
iiud Ansonville, in Anson county.
Wadesboro will receive possibly more
direct benefit from the new road than
sny other town along the line, for the
capital of Anson will be given anoth
er road for the solicitation of jobbing
business. Already one of the Jobbing
firms of Wadesboro has put another
man on the road and his territory is
to be thf» Winston-Salem Southbound.
It is thf* purpose of this firm to do bn-
Flness as far north as Lexington and
Ciouth to Florence, S. C. Other busi
ness interests will see the opportunity
and the new line will mean much to
.ih© growth of the capital of Anson.
AnKonvilU', a pretty little village, of
*befo’ de war’ times, is located ten
miles north of Wadesboro and has al-
leady received marked returns from
the coming of the new road. A num
ber of business houses have been
erected and several new interests es
tablished, among them two banks, both
with sufficient financial backing to
handle the business of the community.
The future of this town is bright and
the prosi)ect is that within a very
short time it w'ill be doubled in popu
lation.
GIVE US MORE LIGHT.
The News Is anxious to hear more
details of the plans of the bond ad
vocates.
W’hat means are to be adopted to in
crease revenue to such an extent as to
meet heavily increased interest bur
dens? And if such plans are formulat
ed, w'here is the million to be spent—
exactly w'here and how? Also who is
to handle the amount'/ Wii* all sec
tions of the city share alike the vas-t
investment of Improvement funds?
These are matters about which the av
erage voter, who pays the freight, de
sires to know more. As will be seen
from a story appearing on the i’ront
page of The News today, the present
debt of the city is about ^1,340,000.
The revenue from all sources is esti
mated at 1200,000. Were an additional
million added to this amount, the
interest on the city’s debt would ag
gregate a sum equalling about $125.-
000. This deducted from the present
annual revenue would leave $73,000
with which to meet all the demands
encountered in administering the af
fairs of the city. It is all right to advo
cate the heavy Issuance of bonds, if
means are provided Avith which to
meet the increased burden of interes’t
thereby taken on. This is a matter
which should be considered in all so
berness. The city needs improve
ments. There is no doubt of this, and
The News yields to none in its des-ire
to see the pressing needs supplied.
But, before we bond future gener
ations, is it not the course of wisdom
to sit down and soberly count the
cost?
As is stated in a story appearing
elsewhere, there is today an outrag
eously low system of tax assessment
in effect. Much valuable property is
taxed only about 10 per cent and yet
assessments are supposed to repre
sent 75 per cent of valuation.
Supposing all property in the city
were assessed according to its true
value, would there be any necessity
for issuing one million dollars in
bonds?
The city needs improvements, and
every one appears to realize the neces
sity of providing funds for same.
And if there are no other means by
which these needs can be supplied.
The News favors bonds—that is for
specific purposes, and under certain
conditions.
As stated before, it is a matter upon
which it is almost impossible to form
an intelligent opinion until more light
is thrown upon the subject.

For Colored Reformatory.
Editor The News:
Permission has been granted us by
the su])erintendent of the .schools of
your city to ask each child to contri
bute something to the Colored Reform
School Association of this state. Whose
object is to purchase a farm and erect
suitable buildings for the training of
wayward colored youths. We have
purchased a farm of 360 acres of land
in Mecklenburg county, on which we
promise to make *a payment of $2,00
Feb. 1st. When this amount has been
paid we have been assured that the
legislature will give us an appropria
tion to put up the building. We are
now striving to raise this amount: by
that date. We are, therefore, asking
every school child in the state to make
a contribution to this cause on Monday
Jan. 30th.
Now, my dear sir, I know you will
do what you can to help in this lauda
ble cause of saving the boys of our
state.
We are also asking each teacher
and principal to contribute. Trusting
you will do what you can to help us,
I am yours respectfully,
C. H. WATSON,
Chairman Committee.

ESCAPED WjTH HIS LIFE
“Twenty-one years ago I faced an
awful death,” writes H. B. Martin,
Port Harrelson, S. C. “Doctors said
I had consumption and the dreadful
cough I had looked like it, sure
enough. I tried everything I could
hear of, for my cough, and was under
the treatment of the best doctor in
Georgetown, S. C. for a year, but could
get no relief. A friend advised me to
try Dr. King’s New Discovery. I did
so, and was completely ccured. I feel
that I owe my life to this great throat
and lung cure.” Its positively guaran

A movement is on foot in Anson
county for a bond issue for the pur
pose of building a county system of
graded and macarlamized roads. This
is certainly a step in the right direc
tion and should receive the supnort
of every citizen. Good roads will do
more for the upbuilding of a county
than any other one thing, and it has
been fully proven in Mecklenburg
county.
