The voterB in the Louisburg Grad

that there Is no such thtng as Pros

A readejjof ttie ti.mj^S toTd the
editor the past week that it certainly
Rooked to Iiiuj that if the people could
stand an increased expense in CouatjH
(salaries of Ave thousand dollars theyj
could easily stand an increased ex- ;
pense of six thousand dollars to pay
interest for:-a modern school that
would equitfthcir boy or gSri for llffi'B
?work. Evidently this man had been
doing some good old horse thinking.

Something should be done to the 1
buttments of the bridge on Main Street
and that right away. iTieir condi
tion is causing an untold expense to
vehicles and a lot of discomfort to
those who ride, beswles being a source
of unfavorable criticism against Lou
isburg. We understand Lassiter &
Co., are under bond to make repairs
to the streets for a certain length of
time and that they have assumed the
responsibility of this repair. We don't
see where they can gain anything by
"waiting, except the ill wishes of the
traveling public and we would sug
gest to the city officials that they re
quire them to come now and make
the necessary repairs.
Mr. Town Commissioner is it con- [
si stent to force the drug stores to re
frain from selling cold drinks, cigars
and tobaccos and turn the cafes
lunch rooms, hotels and restaurants
loose to sell nil they want to. There i
1r no doubt but that as far as you
have gone to protect the sanctity of
tlic Sabbath is correct, but have you
gone fafr enough. There is absolute
ly nothing to the argument that a bill j
of fare for a meal may include these |
luxuries, and to require one line to
be closed up does not necessarily
mean that all lines must be. You say '
to the drug store and ice man that ,
they may sell medic in a. find ice, but
do not give them privilege to sell gro
ceries. tobaccos, drinks, etc. Isn't
there just as much reason to allow
clothing, hardware ana millinery .
atores to remain open as to allow the I
drinks and smokes departments of the i
cafes, hotels, restaurants, lunch \
rooms, etc.. to operate. Why wouldn't j
it be just as reasonable for a person I
to buy a lunch find get a plow, hat or
auit oT~clolfteB" on the side as to buy
N a sandwich and get a cigar. While
we are opposed, eternally opposed, to
violating the Sabbath day except In j
extreme emergency, we hav? no desire
to be credited with attat^rtng any one [
Our whole aim In this article is to
point out the Inconsistency In saying
to one clans of people tTiey shall no*
do a certain thing and In the next
breath tell another clans they may do
th* name thing. Be consistent.
We take pleasure In publish In* the
latter from Mr. C. M Vaughan thai
follow*. The article referred to was
published last week Jor the purpose
of letting the position of the voters
to Cypress Oreek cleared up. We had
?apposed the voters of this township.
Uke those in all other township*,
ware opposed to both these bills, ||?t
Mr Informant declared we were 6ft
llrely wrong and that he hadn't seen

?svor of them." In town since last
Friday and being accosted with the
pvMtoatloa he reiterated the fact that
tha majority of the voters in Cypress
Creak war* In favor of taeae two bills.
Mr. Vaughan s letter evidently clears
up the situation antf^rorrcsponiis with
other reports coming from Cypress
Creek. We take pleasure in publish
ing his letter, which follows, show
ing how the voters of this township
really feel :
Mr. nidi cor ? I saw in last weens

at is If they wish to re-elect them and
If the teachers are willing to accept
If you have a good corp of teachers
do your best to keep them for nfen
year. It is certainly best for your
school and teachers not to change

In the early part of May, I will
meet with each Committee in the Co
unty for the purpose of laying plans
for the school work next year and
filling any vacancies that may exist
But the Committeemen aro urged not

Generally speaking, it would take
two girls to carry out a plan like this
