AT THE HKIM OP CHArUOTTE Charlotte's new city administra tion, which w-ent Into office yesterday afternoon, lacks nothing either In ad ministrative ability or In character so much, we. believe, every one will agree. Mayor Hawkins Is a business man who has managed his own af fairs with success and demonstrated his ability to manage municipal af fairs with success arso. For associates he will have a number of other cap able business men. The Hawkins ad ministration may be expected to dis play a spirit of progress, public serv ice and general efficiency. Broadly speaking, it is an administration such as American cities should elect, and know that they should elect, very much more often. Mr. Hawkins and his co-workers will not have their official existence under a charter of the most approved type, but the old charter contains many valuable features patched on from the modern-idea charter and will aerve well enough for the time. Charlotte Is due congratulations. Tt has every reasonable assurance that its affairs will be administered dur ing the next two years In a manner worthy of its needs and Its destinies. STORK SQUARE DEAL AT LAST. We are delighted with the assur ance every day or so that Queen Wilhelmlna and the royal kid are doing well. Only three years ago the present Prince of the Asturlas made hla appearance In the world at Mad rid, and he now has a little brother The German Emperor Is a grandfath er twice. Among chiefs of state the world over within recent years only that one known as a vigorous) preach er against race suicide has been often to criticism In this matter. It seem ed aa If, though qualified, he would ever become a grandfather, Hence the worldwide Interest which will at tach to prognostications now issuing from Beverly, Mass.: "Congressman Nicholas Longworth and hla wtie have taken a cottage here for the summer. The location In near that recently selected fry the wife of President Taft for the summer home of her family. It is ssid that in about two months the story will visit the cottage. Mrs. Longworth Is Alice, eldest daughter of former President Roosevelt." Great ex-President, mighty hunt er ofir most sincere; congratulations. ies." A partial explanation of what he truly terms "this unhappy fact" he finds In New York City's amazing expenditures. The municipal debt la almost as large as the debt of the United States, with an intereat rate much higher. During Mayor McCIel lan's administration this debt has In creased ,800,U00,000, and the annual budget has risen from $100,000,000 to 1156. 000,000. Ten years hence, it is estiated, the budget will be 13 70. 000.000. "The provincial' should understand," says the Deacon warn ing! and with rueful recollection of hla own experience at the Broadway cigar stand, "that when he visits our glorious metropolis he is expected to . ontrlbute liberally toward paying its expenses." And the moral: "Sooner or later New York will become a luxury too expensive for the provincial.' Country merchants will awake to the truth that Maple goods can be handled and sold in less pretentious cities, such hs Baltimore. Philadelphia and Charles ton, at lower rates than In the onn citv where the, tax rate climbs by leap and bounds. Not necessarily will the tax late appear higher In New York. When tne price of a store kite rises from $100. Wl to $1,000,000. Its assessment would not urally be multiplied by five or ten, and the tax levy might he the same number r mills, hut the rental paid by the mer chant would enier Into the price at which j . . ,. he sold goods ami prevent him from sell- i .'".uXK'VSSn -:E!'n" I US VEILING AT SALISBURY are low.

The Hong-Konj Gander and the Big Fat Hen Said the BongICong Gander to the Big Fat Hen, .' "You havea't laid aa eg In goodness knows when." Said the Big Fat Hen to the bird from China, "It's this rotten climate of South Carolina,"' ;, "I thought as much; then what do you aay To our going back for the Twentieth of May? Said the Chinese bird. And the Hen. big and fat. Asked, "What would the Major think of that?" "What do we eare," said the Hong-Kong Gander, "If we do rouse up the Major's dander? Hla Warned old raffle was a fake. And we need not stay Just for his sake." "There's another thing," said the Hen. a-sfghin", "You know we tried to elect Bill Bryan. And If we go to Charlotte, Taft might say, Take those fowl birds away, away! " 'Strike off their heads, and bury them deep, In the rankest soil of the donjon-keep! Their presence insults the Head of the Nation. Who came here to honor the Declaration.' " "Pshaw!" said the Gander, "you don't know Taft; When he heard about ua he only laughed. And said he didn't blame us a bit, For Elder Caldwell put us up to It." But It was no use, for the Hong-Kong Gander Could not persuade the Hen to wander Back to the State where all hens lay A perfect egg most every day. So the Gander got mad, and remarked again, "You haven't laid an egg In goodness knows when." "Well, neither have you," the Hen did say. "Shucks!" cried the Gander, "I'm not built that way." W. J.

New York understands well the weakness to ward It of the sub-standard or per haps even average "provincial' and governe ttaelf accordingly. Here la a fetich which haa an eager eye for the fetich-worshiper's coin. All metrop olises have been wont to profit slm llarly; it Is remarkable, however, that N'ew York, only the chief of many metropolises on this wide continent, levies tribute upon such monkeyish nese with ten times greater audacity than London, which has all Great Britain within a few hours' distance and is "town" to a whole nation. If the people of the United States ever conclude that the extravagances of their metropolis are costing them too much, that metropolis, loaded down with debt, will face a serious prob lem. PROGRAMME OF THE EXERCISE o piteous spectacle: Did anybody hear a noise Ilka an object hitting the floor hard? If so. what they heard was The Charleston News and Courier's performance af ter Rev. Dr. Plunket had concluded a centennial sermon on Calvinism at the Second Presbyterian church of . Charleston last Sunday morning. Dr Plunket said: "The Macklenburg Convention of May. 1775, was composed of twenty-seven stanch CaJvdnists. one-third of whom were elders In the Presbyterian Church Bancroft says of this Declaration It was In effect a declaration of Independence aa well as a complete system of ro em inent." It is well known that Thomas Jefferson's celerated Declaration is a recast of this Mecklenburg paper which preoeded it my more than a yeaj-." "It is to be expected, of course," ays the unhappy News and Courier, rubbing Its bruises, "that The Char lotte Obaerver will chortle with glee." But The Observer will do nothing of the kind. It haa enough good feeling and good manners not to laugh aloud under any such circum-tancea TWO MUSICALLY In Nashville RICH STATES. some days ago they had a music festival "the best show." declares The .Nashville Amerl can, "that has been seen In these parts." The Nashville festival, we hasten to say. was not of the exotic, foreign kind but the genuine mu.lcal expression of the people. It was an Old Fiddlers" Contest. To delighted ears masters of the bow dispensed such melodies as "Forked Deer, "Arkansas Traveler," Natchcz-un der-the-hlll," "Cracklln Bread." "t'hlcken in the Bread Tray." and "Johnny, Put the Kettle On." Col H. M. DoaK. whose reputation as a musical critic extends far beyond the bounds of his native State, was on the programme for a lecture un happily never delivered on "Flddlt Music- the Miraculous Art That Makes the poet's Skill a Jest and the Painter a Mere Clod of Clay." All In all. It was a very notable or-caslon. Tennessee haa evidently inherited some of North Carolina's great musi cal ability. An Interstate fiddlers' contest between these Common wealths would go down In history, t'nlesa Tennessee backs away from the challenge herewith given, such a conteet will take place at no distant day. , . A congressional party Just back from Panama unanimously declares for the lock type of canal. Some members favored the sea-level pro ject when they started. but have changed their minds. All likewise agree that the Gatun dam will be sound enough. With engineers and statesmen harmonioua. only a few newspaper hostiles and the writers for the yellow magazines are left dis sentient. Now let the digging proceed. The Charleston News and Courier, hot wishing to pass by an opportunity for displaying Its Ignorance about North Carolina mattera, delivers it self upon the subject of the chief viand which Mr. Taft will consume while in Charlotte. "If he Is fond of the raxor-back variety of meat." says this thoroughly mean newspaper, "he ought to take either the razor-back of the South Carolina coast country or the Virginia ham. There is as much difference between the Charles ton or Berkeley county razor-back and the Moore county product as there is between sugar and sand, with the advantage all on the side of the South Carolina shoat." To which vicious and wilfully false aspersions we shal return good in the form of a suggestion. Let the State Agricul tural Departments of South Carolina and Virginia send to Moore county and procure stock for breeding pur poses if they desire meat that can really rival the North Carolina product.
