CLEAN-UP DAT COMING.
Bt Ready with the Goods When the
.Boya After Prise Money Calls Be
Sure to Chuck in the Tin Cans.
Editor Tribune: Anticipating the
clean-up day, people of the" city are
begin ing to gather trash. Trash was
carted away by the hundreds of loads
last year and yet there was a nest
egg left and no doubt there are many
skv lugrh piles if all were gathered
"Clean-no Day" this year should be
fully appreciated. One such effort
proved the worth of the scheme, and
y who knows but that the city was saved
much sickness by the purification of
lota and alleys T
There will be many busy boys, work
s' inn- sinirlv and in groups, all after
ome of the prizes.
But do not depend on the boys for
all. Do not expect them to go into
the lot and gather up the trash. Have
it ready for the boys. Pile out where
they can readily get it, but by no
means expect some one else to do that,
rin not fnrcet the old tin cans. How
cans do acumulate. They seem almost
to grow, so rapidly do they accumu
late. The can, too, is a dangerous
thing. It has been condemned by all
donlth authorities and must go. Let
everyone lying out go to the trash pile.
Allow none to lie around to breed the
ninaniiitoee.
Get started early in this work; do
not wait, A little "can is a dangerous
thing especially if turned up to catch
water, and becomes a home for many
mosquitoes.
The clean un will cost the city sev
ml .hundred dollars. It will be
worth manv more. No telling .how
much sickness is saved by a thorough
Bcourinif of the city.
Don't leave the cans for the census
enumerators, lie is after live folks
and cans don't count with "Uncle
Sam "
Not how bic a city, but how good
and bow clean.
Finally brethren, clean up. Pile out
vour trash. We all have it in abun
dance and a good searoh will reveal
it. Let the trash gathering begin.

INTERURBAN TROLLEY LINE.
Views of Mr. O. Ed Kestler on Pro
posed Line from Greensboro to An
derson, S. 0.
The anouncement thait the Dukes
will build an iuterurban trolley line.
tor botli passenger and freight busi
ness, from Greensboro to Anderson
S. ('., is creating much interest all
along the line. Mr. G. Ed Kestler,
t'hairman of the board of county com
uiissioneis, gives The Tribune the fol
lowing as his views in regard to this
line:
He says as the Messrs. Duke have
stated to the press that they will build
an iuterurban itrolley line uniting
Greensboro, Salisbury, Concord, Char
lotte and the South Carolina towns
provided the people along the proposed
line shojv some appreciatin for and
take some interest in said proposition
we should show our inclination to wel
come this great movement in our
midst. It is true a company is now
building a line here but he thinks
it would no doubt either be an in
dependent link in this chain or else be
mlling .to join m said general line.
In eittier case we would be the bene-
iiciary of said enterprise. If the pro
moters of this line will tell us what is
necessary tor us to do lo co-operate
in the work it would be ithe part of
visdoin to do it and thus bring an en
terprise here that would redouud
greatly to our industrial growth. .Such
uhings spell progress of untold value
to any community, and our people will
encourage all efforts looking in this
direction. In ten- years we would
lave an almost continuous chain of
(owns all along this line and we could
tardly estimate the value resultant
from such a situation. In Virginia, in
the North and West these liues have
wrought wonderful things to these
sections. It -this movement is depen
dent upon our co-operation let us
start to co-operate, it takes big mon
ey and big people to do big things
and the Dukes are sucn people and
hey should be welcomed here. We
should lind out what the requirements
are of these gentlemen and if the con
ditions are liberal and conducive to
our good, then take steps to meet
them.
Colored Man Goes Insane.
Gene Cannon, a young negro man,
was locked up here yesterday alter-
noon by the officers. Cannon's mind

lay and has been here since that time.
Those who have been with him say
that he has shown signs of insanity
for several days.
hen arrested yesterday afternoon
by the officers he resisted arrest and
oeing a large and powerful negro, it
prove, a difficult task to get him to
the Sheriff's office. He was routined
in the office for a short time and later
taken to jail, whehe he will remain un
til the abdication for his admission
to the insane asvlum is acted upon.
The application was made several days
ago. While in the Sheriff's offii-e the
negro quoted several verses from the
Bible and boasted of his strength. His
conversation clearly showed that he
lad completely lost his reason. He
lias two brothers in the asvlum.
Cannon was in our office Monday
night, and left an ad for the Penny
Column, saying that he had gone to
Washington "in the interest of his
brother, David Cannon, of Norwich,
Conn." He acted nueerly at that
time.

lishments of the iSouth. We are very
fort linage in securing his services, and
we are confident the public will show
their appreciation of our bringing
such a high class man to this city.
"Mr. Smith's ability as a designer
of Catalogues, Booklets, Folders and
Advertising Matter is recognized by
the highest authorities. He will be
glad to give valuable advice to anv one

Interesting Political Development.

There is an interesting political
levelopment in .the State. Ex-Gov-
