A Bonded Tax. Some little talk ha- been partici pated in for some t ; mp in regard to' the benefits and disadvantages of a bonded tax. Of course every bene fit- is likely to have some defective point. The only objection that can b'3 raised to putting a debt on the town is that it must at some time be paid and by a pro rata tax upon every man's property. The poor people ought not to ki k because they don't pay but little, if any tax. The rich ought rot to kick because he won't fe*l the tax. In favor of a bonded tax might be said: -Tt ira proves the town in every respect, shows enterprise, and invites people who are progressive to come here ' and invest. That is the point. Put I the debt on the town, get the use and benefit of the money and let the , citrons that are here twenty year from now pay the principal. Hicko ry will then be a city and £50,000 will be a small item. Put on the tax; buy the electric light plant, fix up the streets and put in w iter works and a fire depart :n nt. These are things Hickorv I ; must have. I % Druniuier (ione Craiy. I A. C. Rowe, aged about thirty, u - I travelling salesman for a powder 'campany at Marion, N.

There is money in it ami the town can mHke tlnir lights free ; You have a chance iow and a fair offer. The Company will sell out at | post and less than cost.

It will have to he paid for by taxa tion and the four men who are inter ested in the company would pay | of that amount for they o»n that amoui t of the taxable property in the town. After the trouble they have been to their offer is more than | fair—it prompted by a desire !to benefit our town. Citizens now ! !s your chance. Put a bonded tax ; of *5",000. payable in twenty year--, on Hickory and utilize the funds for the advancement of our town. t The company hap bought the elec j trie plant in good faith, their pur chase being the outcome of a prom issory franchise fnun our bs*ard of * ( commisiouers with the uuderstand ing that h complete fraucbise for thirty years would be granted when asked for. Thirty years is a long time, and i TT . " .' Hickory in 1919 won't remember Hickory in 1889, so look to your in terests. Be careful how you sign away a valuable franchise. I Woalhr Tin* Court Hoime. I Why don't people leave other peo -1 pie's matters alone? They must be I wicked people who are always inter • fering with the peace and quiet of ; their neighbors hv rr°d lling with | their matters. For weeks past Ilick | ory has been scared half to death by : the talk among hrr neighbors of | taking awav our Wagon works, and just as we begin to feel easy on our own account, our sympathies go out ! to our sister Newton because of the J talk of taking away her Court House. I To be sure the Enterprise says it is j only the talk of a Republican, but | would he presume to talk of so big j a job, in the Banner county, without | assurance of big Democratic help ? He says Newton is Democratically wicked and must be punished. If i our suspicions are correct we count | that a very wicked Republican, but | a very humorous man, who remem l hers that Newton has long been sub ' ject to biennial Court-House raov i ing spasmr, and think the bare men ! tion of the subject will cause suffi j eient punishment for this year's sins. 'We snould say he is a thoughtless as well as a wicked Republican. If | the Court House has made Newton iso wickedly Democratic, would he . its presence in some othei I to.vn make that the same way, or I does he propose to send it out of | the county ? as they wished of our ; Wagon works.
