No higher aim could be aspired to than this. It is true, as The Piedmont says, that the great niajoiity of readers are not iuierested in politics and sensatiuns so much as in religious affairs. The editor, then, could lend a good service by bringing Into prominence those stories which tell of the triumph o£ right, which picture the H>righter and better phase of life, and which tend to leave a good rather than a bad influ ence. One of the governor’s critics de clares that none of his (the governor's) statements Is worthy of belief. Such silly t'olderot as this only strengthens the cause of the man under attack. There are too many Httle fellows who find no time in a debate for anything except personal abtise.

Old Bill was very much addicied to looking upon the wine when it was red. and the new min ister at once announced his intention of bringing him to see the error of liis ways. ‘Well, of course, we kow you mean light, jjarsou," one of the elders said, .'-lowly, stroking his white beard; “but ii would be a mighty bad thing for the place if old Bill w'as to qffuit drink ing, ■’Why. what do you mean, brother?” ihe puzzled minister asked. “Well, jjarsou. it's like this," the el der explained. “There ain’t a more convincing talker nowhere than old Bill.

You see, .fudge Osborne is oen of the most powerful raesoners In this country. He is con vincfng; he can convince you though you know he is wrong. The board had not studied the question, and he had, and consequently he swept them with his way of thinking, and being thor oughly convinced that he Was right in his position, they acted. “Bui they no doubt will now, after thinking over if, give the citizens an opportunity to be heard. "i think it is wTong to relieve the street car company of 16 inched and pul that on the adjoining property om’n- ers. The abutting property owners along the line will have to pay extra what the street car company has been relieved of. ■ \^'hen the law was changcd so as to makeg^the ictizens, property owners, ar company ought t0 pay for more Ihan ii had been doing, since the other property owners had to pay for more, couseqiiently the act of the last legis lature set out ,*?0 inches instead of 14 inches, on each side of the track, as the amount for the street car company to pay. This requirement was in the act recommended by the last board of aldermen, which board was never ac cused of being hostile to the Southern Power Company. tl Is also the recom mendation of the once-famouB commit- lee of 10, and Mr. E. T. Cansler, the then attorney for the itreet car com pany was on that committee. “I do not think as a question of law, that the board has the discretion to relieve the company from paying for the If) inches and I differ vlth both Ju4ge Osborne and Mr. Whitlock on that question, but I am agreeing with some other lawyers at the bar equally as eminent. ‘In the next place If the board has the discretion, I do not think it ought to exercise it in behalf of the street car company and against the citizens. 1 do noi think 30 inches is too much for the street car company to pay. “I have confidence in the board, and believe it will do the rigtt thin* by all, and I have »^herefore asked the mayor to call a m««ti;iig of the board and let th« citlzent be hevrd.” SLAKE S CKUG SHOP On th« Square, prescriptions Filled Day and Night QUICK DELIVERY That means we send it to you In a hurry.

Tryon. snyii SPOILS li M.ID" WashingV^n, .July 29.—Senator Kern, of Indiana, speaking yesterday on a resolution to add several employes to the pay rolls, charged that "a spoils system had run mad’’ in the senate, where republicans so sys tematically divided patronage that members were often awarded “hall a man.” Senator Dixon, republican, retorted that the democratic house had discharged all republican em- pleys. A resolution putting 16 messengers on the senate rolls caused the trouble. Senator Bristow said it would result in economy rather than in extra expense and* would reduce the number of senate employes. “Well, economy was an issue in (he last campaign.” said Senator Kern, “if these men are working for committees that never met we ought to abolish the subterfuge and make it plain that we are providing em ployes not for committees, but for the individual benefit of senators.” Bryan’s Joke About Titles. Williams Jennings Bryan once joked about the American fondness of titles, says an exchange. “You all know of the Colonel,” he said, “who got his title by inheritance, having married Col. Brown’s widow. But I once met a general who got his title neither by inheritance nor by ser vice, nor by anything you could men tion. '■ ‘General,’ T said to him, ‘how do you come by thi^ title of yours, any way?" “ ‘Why. sir,’ he said, ‘I passed my youth in the flour trade, and for twen ty-seven years w'as a general miller.’ “I know another titled man—Judge Greene. “ ‘Are you sir,’ I asked him, ‘a Unit ed States judge or a circuit court judge?' “‘I ain’t neither.’ he replied: ‘I’m a jedge of hoss-racin'.” Sherlock Holmes, Jr., will be in Charlotte soon.
