Kvery public spirited rnan

Dou't Itay away and then to
morrow ridicule and make fun
of whut wiifi done and tiy to lea l
people to think that you are Uo
wise a guy to mix up in any
t hint? of the kind. These are
vital mutters and deserve tie lit-
tmtionof our abl-t lieu and
bvAt thinkers' The Legislature
id public property. Let us use it.
The time has come und it is
hitfh noon in the day when the
town of Kings Mountain should
get off tne fence and be-wholly
ii Gaston or wholly in Cleve
land. This Lsgislatnre can act
on the matter just as well as
any subsequent one can hope to
do and it is now time for every
citizen to bestir himself to create
a sentiment sufficient to bring
this about. Make up your mind
what is best to do and corns out
io the meeting tonight and ex
press your opinion.
Kings Mountain needs a re
c n'dnr's court. It needs it for at
leixt three reasons.
F.rst , it would save the county
an immense court expense. One
who knows informs us that it
costs forty to fifty dollars to
convict a man of.'solling whiskey
in Superior court 'and tthat, it
C mid bo do'ie for less than five
lijllars in recorders court.
Second. It's convenience. In
stead of having to ko Shelby and
stxmd a week and pay your keep
as a witness a recorder's court
would require not more than an
hour or-so for sr witnesF'to" be
taken from his business.
Third. Kings: Mountain is
practically a joke in court circies
because it furnishes more than
Ifty per cent of the cases on the
Superior court docket. This is
because the county recorder
settles such ir a'ters from -the
v. vmq v"uui tin COU
stitutes the majority of the cases
that go up from Kings mountain.
We need k recorder 's court, then,
that we may be put upon an
equal footing with .the balance
of the county and not be shown
, up in Superior court as a black
s.iot or a dirtv corner when our
folks are as good as the balance
of the foUcs of th county.
Siler City Merchants recently
Mgned a pledge to sell no cigar
etts after January 1st. 1915. How
doss that sound for twentieth
centurv civilization? We long to
sae Kings Mountaiu merchants
outer 'a similar compact. Then
let it-spread to tb.9 ends of the
earth.; "' '

The new year has opened up
with better prospects fori a good
business than the old one went
out. It's a pity to die unwept,
nnhonored and unsung,: but the
year 1914 with its blood stained
hands, with its business depress

being hung o : doorj or ffags
left at half mast. It is history

ashes.
The atmosphere has already
begun to savor of municipal
politics. One may get a whif on
almost any corner or in almost
einy group. The election for
mayorality comes up in May.
Names are coming into conver
sation and special polic es will
soon become topics of conversa
tion. The Herald man is no poli
tician but he does profess to be
a gentleman and a citizen and
therefore calls for the floor for
just a minute. Somebody will
name a candidate for mayor and
somebody will name another in
all probabiity. This is the his
tory of municipal "elections, and
is necessarily so. . We are not
naming anybody but let us enter
an appeal for an upright busi-'
ne s man with good common
sense, good moral character and
some tact and no "Favorites."
It is a. man, a full size man.

Barnett a local magistrate and is
entering upon a new term.
Judge Webb was appointed so
licitor by Governor Holt to fill
out the unexpired term of Frank
I. Osborne. He was then elected
three times for four -year each
and after serving 12 years was
appointed judge by Governor
Aycock to fill out the unexpired
term of the late Judire Hoke.
Since that time he has been nom
inated and elected by the Demo
cratic party for two terms of
four years each and it is a splen
did tribute to his fitness that he
has never confronted opposition
from within his own party.-
