Every citizen in Charlotte should be deeply concerned in tho proposi tion to issue one million dollars in bonds for improvements, as each one will have to carry his nroportionate share of the responsibility if such step is taken. There is sucii a di- vcisiiy of opini(m on the subject that The Xews has decided to hold an election, the idea being to ascer tain just Avhat the attitude of the voters (pnricularly hose who do not give their opinions in print) is on the subject. This election will go far to show the popular attitude on tbe matter, and ea-h voter is asked 10 sign the coupon either “yes"’ or •no" and return to this office, or deposit it in boxes to be placed at various points in the city. This is an election which requires i;ow pay- inrr of poll rax. Let evpry one. at all interested in the proposition, take part in the election.' ed the ticket. Scarcely a w’eek goes by without a case of this kind. It may interest you to know that the Associated Charities of Chai’lotte is iii a covenant with between 400 and charitable and benevolent societies in tlie Cnited States and Canada, never to practice and to do all in its power to break u pthis “Passing on system.” When those people wll not' reform, V ill not take work, or go to the place Oi; their ])Voved legal residence, there is onh' one thing to do. and ,tli,at is teil them they cannot ply their trade in Charlotte. As soon as all cities take this at titude, as they are rapidly doing, we will i^ee the last of this class of of- fondt.'rs. Verv trulv vours, L. B. MYERS, Gen. See.

I>y Associated Press. ball Lake City, U'lah, Jan. 31.—Offi cials of the San Pedro, Los Angeles and Salt Lake railroad are at a loss to Know how V) dispose of J. E. Himes, a jjassengf • on one of their Pullmans who leiuses to leave the car. iiimcs, v.ho Lad paid tor a berth in that particular car from Joplin, Mo., to San I'raucisco via Les Vegas and Loa Angeles, refused to leave when he v.as lold at Ogden that passengers would be translerrod to the Southern Pacltic on account of a washout on the San Pedro lin«. The Pullman was hauled to Salt Lake City and still Himes remained in the car. He takes his meals out but he reads, smokes and slcepsf as a guest of the Pullman Company and sas he is perfectly willing to pass the summer here if it takes that long to restore traffic to San Francisco via Las Vegas and Los- Angeles, Alleged Swindler Taken. By Associated Press, San Fi’ancisco, Cal., Jan. 31.—John Murphy, alias “Rene” Lewis, an alleg ed swindler from New York, who eluded the police of many cities for over a year, fell by accident Into the hands of Lieutenant of Detectives Barney Flood, of the New York police force, yesterday. Hood was passing through this city on his way to Los Angeles. He was sight-seeing w'hen he saw Mur phy. Murphy simultaneously saw the de tective and immediately began to run but was captured. The police say that Murphy Jumped his bond while he was awaiting trial on a charge of robbing a farmer of $1,500 in a card game. Death of Miss Justice. Rutherfordton, Jan. 31.—Miss Annie L Justice, daughter of the late Rev. C. B. Justice, and niece of .Tudge M. H. Justice, died quite unexpectedly yesterday at the home of her brother, Mr. J. D.

Miss Justice’s father, the Rev, C, B. ustice, pastor of the Ruth erfordton Baptist church- for a score or more of years, died about a year ago. The funeral services will be held from the Baptist church, where she has been a faithful member for many years, conducted by her pastor. Rev. R. H. Herring. HEPMEY’S E X F* IB C T O R/\ rs T ^URCS COUGHS AND C0L03^ State Asked To Pay Court Cost Special to The News. Raieigh, Jan. iJI.—The general as sembly is to be asked to provide for the payment of the costs in the case just terminated in the Raleigh pttlicR court against the Standard Oil Company in which the Standard v.as prosecuted at the instance nr Attorney General T. VA Biokett, for violation of the state anti-trust law in cutting prices oi* oil here below tho root of geLting the oil here in order to put };i.e Indian Oil Company out of bu.siness and then getting the jirices bark io high stanlard again. 'I i'e suit tailed iu that the police jti.-^iico I'uleti that tl’-o state failed to disprove the contention of the Stand- i;rd tliat the prices in Raleigh v.'ere iower than elsewhere and that they are due to over supply. The costs in the case run up to several hu'i- Ired (lol’ars. there having been nuT i- erous \virn'ss6s heie from a dis tance. A benefit that Raleigh con sumers of oil may reap from thr hearing is that retailers may no'' put down prices in proportion to the lower wholesale prices, a thing they say they have not done l>efore be cause tliey expected the prices to rise again just as scon as “the war was over.” The contention of the Standard that there is no war and that thep rices are dow’n to stay in definitely leaves them no excuse to hold thep rices up longer. Judiciary committee No. 2, of the house, announced Tuesday afternoon o fthis v/eek as the time for hearing the final argument and passing on the Connor bill for uniform bill of lading for cotton shipments, a meas ure for which* the banl^ers are fight ing and which is being opposed witli equal zeal by the railroad ofTicials. Another import ax,-1 committee hear ing set for this week already is the Baggett bill for ’ eliminating the mileage ticket nuisance by requiring that any railroads that persist in re fusing to pull mileage on their trains shall not be allo'ved to sell ticket:? generally for more than two cents per mile. % Carbuncles ||| I Tbies’ Salve, 25c. 11 J ALL DRUGGISTS f i V ^ ^ 4\tn Are the Player Pianos that give perfect satisfaction and capable of expressin." the beauties in the music of the great masters as well as sacred music, childhood songs, negro melodies and the ragedest kind of ragtin’e hits, all v/ith never a missed note and in perfect time, just as desired.
