Aldermen Adopt a "Sliding Scale" and Will Strictly Adhere Thereto Hereafter. The board ot aldermen has decided, once for all, to put a stop to the con tinual squabbling over light and pow er rates. A "sliding scale" has been worked out that Is fair to everybody and will apply to all. It Is as follows: LIGHTING RATES. Current for lighting and power is charged for according to the number of kilowatt hours used and the ilg&t schedule Is aa follows: 1 to 100 kw. at 10c": per kw. 100 to 300 kw.

Legislature Asked to Practically Dou ble All Appropriations for State Institutions. The News & Observer calls atten tion to the fact that the appropriations asked of the legislature by the insti tutions of the state and for special purposes this year are almost double those which met the General Assem bly two years ago. At that time $2, 497,050 were appropriated to the va rious institutions. This year already, according to the figures of Senator Gilliam, chairman of the senate com mittee on appropriations, the demands ; have exceeded J3.675.530.00. Two ver 1 ago, there was also a bond tino nfjfort centered on t.h trianenlnr Ac f387,000 which relieved the treasury directly of much of the welsht of the! appropriations. Already without the bond Issue, without counting the ap-' j proprlation asked by the Mt. Mitchell two million. nnttee. The committee listened with grave concern at the tabulated flmiroo of things that have been and things that are. Straightway the entire body voted unanimously to increase the salary of the adjutant general from $2,000 to $:i,000. ' The committee likewise reported favorably the bill appropriating $11,- 000 to take advantage of the Smith- Lever bill. Dr. L. R. Wilson, Prof. C. C.

Southmont, Denton and Yadkin Col lege High Schools Enter Big Debating Contest. The 'Dispatch has received notice from the State University that David son county is to take part in the se ries of triangular debates soon to be pulled off. Three of Davidson's best high schools, Southmont, Denton and Yadkin College, will take part. An nouncement of dates and places will be made later. Two 'hundred and fifty schools, rep resenting 90 counties of the state, with one thousand debaters, all told, now have their earnest attention and ef- bates which will occur on March 26.from a visit to relatives In Atlanta. All of the schcoU winning both of 1 their triangular debates will send t-ieir teams to Chapel Hill on April 9 to complete in the final contest for 1914 by the Winston-Salem high school. The question to be discussed this year is one of muoh timeliness: "Re solved, That the United States should aioDt the nolicv of subsidizing it mer- chant marine engaged in foreign trade." At present only 8.9 per cent of American shipping is carried under the American flag. The high school debaters in their eager search for -vantage ground in the debates will thoroughly thresh out the subsidy as a moans of building up the marine. It 'must be that these debates will have a ! wonderfully Instructive effect upon the ;S(),00 or more North Carolinians who ! will make up the total audiences, As a part of the State University's policy of extending its helpfulness to every section of North Carolina, the u'Sh School Debating Union takes hi-h rank. It is safe to say that thi3 i series of debates will be the largest in ai and most far-reaching influ- jence of all debate series to be held in : the various states of the Union this year.
