Town ownership of public util ities, auch as light and water plants, has received some heavy Jolts in this state and elsewhere, so much so that many good busi ness people doubt the advisability of a municipality undertaking to operate these of their own. Of course it all depends on whether the same rigid rules of business I are applied to them as to those owned by individuals and oper ated solely for and with an eye single to making profits. However that may be, and al lowing each person to hold his own view about the matter, we want to call the attention of Gra ham to a proposition worth, at least, consideration : The town is paying under its present arrangement 82,220 per year for street lights alone, and the lights are not numerous either and are a long way apart. The light, what there is of it, is all right, but there is far too little of it, and, therefore ,Graham is a poorly lighted town. The sum Graham pays for lights is the interest at six per cent, per annum on $37,000.00. Perhaps you had not thought of that, and what that amount of money would do. Now let us go a little further. On the 22nd of this month t here is to be x sold a water power—the old Seilars Mill property on Haw river. This power is not over two miles from the corporate limits of Graham to the North. With a partial development this power would give more light than the town now has. Developed to the limit, because its development is limited by its nearness to the Big Falls property above, it would light a town four times as big as Graham, afford residence lights, and perhaps some to spare for small power purposes. With such ail equl pment the town would have Something that would yield a dividend by way of saving the paying out of big sums every year for lights, and would have the means for extending and improving the town lighting with a small outlay. •. If this town allows this oppor tunity to pass by, another such opportunity will never come Its way. It is worth considering, and what is done must be done quickly. Lately, that is only a few months ago, the little town of Siler City in Chatham county, built a pow er plant on a near-by stream and lights the town and has power to spare. It was published that the equipment cost about 96,000. The Interest on that would not more than pay a man to go around and light and put out lights. There is another view of the matter, If the town owned such a powt>r as the Sellers Mill—the cur rent could be sold in the day time lor power purposes and used-at night for lighting without addi tional expense for production. It would be good as long' as water flows In Haw river. Let Graham be wise and act at ' once. ' » .. - ... ALAMANCE NEWSPAPER DOM. Last Friday The State Dispatch of Burlington blossomed into The Twice-a-Week Dispatch, retaining Its former size, andjirice, too. It enjoys the distinction of being the first semi-weekly published In Al mance. ' It has added a Mergsn thaler Linotype machine and a new press and folder. Incident ally, It remarks, not "boasting", that It bought the first new news paper proas e\er brought to the county, but to keep history straight, we wish to say the Chris tian Sun of Elon College beat the -esteemed Dispatch by a few months on the new press proposi tion. The Burlington News has also added a new linotype machine, the Intertype. The Gleaner congratulates its neighbors on these evidences of auccesa and prosperity. The Christian Sun also has a Merganthalcr linotype, but The Oleaner installed the first linotype machine to come to Alamance Not to much Interest Is now shown In Mexico *a was a lew week* ago, but the Mexican! are by no meana at peace among tbemaelvea.

County Teachers' Third Sleeting—l)r, Chue'i Practical Lecture—Organi zation for Improvement of Rural Schools Will Olve Prtxe»— Progressive Plaas ot Interest. » The third meeting of the County Teachers' Association was held in * Graham, Saturday, Dec. 6. Sixty * fight teachers were in attendance. * An unusually interesting meeting ' was held. Dr. Chase of the Btate' * University gave a most practical, r lecture on what the school should' do for the child. Every citizen 6t : Alamance county could have found his talk both interestiag and in structive. He said in brief, that , the school owes first to the child a healthy body—that it is the school's sacred duty to Instill into v the child a sense of his respon sibility for a clean, hygienic com munity. It is more important to * teach a child to protect himself from typhoid fever, consumption and malaria than to teach him arithmetic and grammar. Dr. Chase said that the school's sec ond duty to the child was to give a command of the tools of knowl* edge, to-wit: Reading, writing, arithmetic and language. Following Dr. Chase's lecture came the usual union dinner at the town hall. After dinner there was an' Informal discussion of several vital school subjects—morning ex ercises 111 the schools, play grounds and community meetings. The importance of organized play during the recess period, was stressed, and it was agreed by all present that the teacher should be on the play grouads with the chil dren—that a teacher who /alt too old to play or to direct the play should stop teaching. After the meeting adjourned a small body of enthusiastic teach ers met together with several pub lic spirited women of the county and organized an association for the improvement of the rural schools in Alamance county. Mr. M. C. Terrell of Friendship was made president. . v > The object of this organizatipn is to foster and .encourage the or ganization of Country Life Clubs Fn the various schools of the coun ty, and to encourage every possi- , hihlc phase of school Improvement , work. , To encourage a healthy spirit of j rivalry among the schools, this or- j ganization proposes to offer at , thirty prizes for ' improvements , made in the country schools. Four ( prizes have already been handed , in : 'A wall clock given by Mr. Z. j T. Hadley of Graham; a desk chair chair given by Green & McClure 1 Furniture Co., pf Graham; a wa ter cooler given by Graham Hard ware Co., of Graham; and another J water cooler given by Holt & May, * of Burlington. ! To encourage Dmestic Science, J in the schools, this organization 1 proposes to give to the school ex- t hihiting the Best work in sewing a J sewing machine. To the school ex- ' hihiting the best work in cooking, 1 a cook stove will be given. No ! exhibit, however, will be consider-, * ed unless there are as many as 15 pupils in the class.

Kloofs Jtaeket Ball Schedule and Other j, (Ulot D >pe. Elon College, Dec. 11, 1913.—Tw0 games of basket ball on the local floor—one with the strong aggre gation of the Greensboro V. M. C'. A., and the other with the gentle manly'quint of the Atlantic Chris tian College—have been enough to stir up -the highest hopes in the hearts of the basket ball enthusi asts here that Elon's quint this year is to be a winner of the championship or a close second. The guards, Bradford and Mori ette, will give any forwards in the State a hard tussle to score on them. The - Greensboro fast quint went through all but five minutes of the two halves before getting a single field goal and the boys from Wilson only got one in the entire game to their credit, and that "due to a mistaken signal in the beat of aotion. The two forwards, Newman and Johnson, are tried and tested ex perts at their posts, having al ready won many laurels tor them selves in previous years. Atkin son, the big center, is as wary as he is big and brawny. No center in this section can outclass him. Thea,,aa substitutes are Miller, who has developed into a player of great ■kill and who gave the guards a hard chase Tor their regular positions, Hollsnd, sub forward, HcCauley, sub-center, but good anywhere, and many others who give large promise for fu ture years.
