In Tuesdays , Workman it was stated that we had been informed that the Steel Works would locate on the highlands to the north of Green Hill cemetery, and in absence of any authoritative announcement to the contrary, we would publish what was given for matter of fact. ' The general manager of the works, Mr. 7 Newman, is in the city and on learning of the article in yester. day's issue, came into the office this morning end said that the announce ment concerning tbe locating of the steel works yesterday was a little premature. He said that he did not know himself yet on which side of towa it would be located When asked if he knew for certain that the works would be located in Greensboro, he replied, if they are located any where, they will be in or near Greensboro. '-: He said that he woald be in the city for some days and that he would take pleasure H giving information to our reporter from time to time as developments were made that would be of general interest. , ' . . Why Ile<ate. . . . Editor -Workman t Greensboro, ;r Viflues in real estate that have Jed fo this? Chkfly, I think, tbs improvements set -on foot by our city authorities, , viz., water works, paving, ' and drainage, but why do they hesitate? ,' Why do they not go on so that the sewer laid in may be utilized f If funds are need ed, let a reassessment of values be made on tbe real estate, and ample funds will flow into the city treasury. We are jut-t now favored with a low death rate, with comparatively little sickness', but so far as it now goes the sewer system is doing bat little good through want of exten sion beyond the main streets. This should be done at once, and let South Elm Street at least have the benefit, delays are dangerous. ; Let it remain till we have an epidemic break out, and , then , our town will receive a check. If land waa only taxed as it should be, something near to the price at which it is held, the owners would not be so fond of speculating on higher prices. More anon. Citizbn. ' Fashion and Poverty. ' The condition of things as to school books remind one of how it ws about clothing during the war, when the scarcer . cloth became the longer the skirts of coats were made. It was the old war between the hu" man of poverty and the devil of fash idn and so it is now in the school book line 2, the greater th , need of money to buy books the more costly the requisition for more, books not better books, so far as any satisfac tory proof is concerned, but more books. 4 , ' 1 . Now let the rank and file of the people form a book trust, that shall sift the whole thing to the bottom," and expel every needless thing. It is no time to be trying an endless ar 1 cosily, experiment of books on ev!y garter of the moon. The Next Census.
