A MOOTED QUESTION.
-... t - : .
Candidates For County Commission
- ,'er in a Quandary.
The act passed by the last session
of the legislature changing the law as
to the election of members of. the
board of commissioners of Guilford
county Is ; creating some confusion In
the 'minds of-those who expect to be
candidates for membership on the
board at the election this year, as
well as among party leaders general
ly. The act of the legislature pro
vides that . three members of the
board shall be elected this year for
two years and two members for four
years, and. that upon the expiration
of the term, of office of the four-year
members the entire board shall be
elected for a term of four years. The
section of the act bearing on this
point reads as follows:
"That at the general election to be
held in the year 1912 there shall be
elected in the county of Guilford", by
the duly - qualified voters thereof, five
members of the board of county com
missioners - divided into two classes,
three of whom shall compose one
class whose term of office shall com
mence on the first Monday in Decem
ber, 1912, and expire at the end of
two years thereafter, or on the first
Monday in December, 1914; and two
of whom shall compose another class
whose term of office shall commence
on the .first Monday in December,
1912, and expire four years thereafter,
or on the first Monday in December,
1916. That, upon the expiration of
the term of office of both classes of
said commissioners, their successors
shall be elected to hold office four
years, and until their successors are
elected and qualified."
Whether it is necessary for a can
didate to announce himself this year
for the short or long term Is the moot
ed question. The legislative act is
silent on this point and those in au
thority are in the dark as to the prop
er course to pursue. Should the can
didates announce themselves " tor the
term of office they desire to hold and
the primary should happen to nomi
nate five men who had announced for
the same term, It is easy to see that
much confusion would follow.
As a way out of the difficulty, three
plans have been suggested: First,
that the candidates nominated in the
primary meet and agreee among them
selves as j to the distribution , of the
long and j short terms; second, that
the candidates nominated and the
county executive committee hold a
meeting after the primary and reach
an agreement; third, that the matter
be left to the county convention.
In the meantime it is suggested
that there, will be no lack of candi
dates for county commissioner this
year.
Sues the Railroad For a Bad Cold.
A summons in a civil action which
promises to rival the recent trip-hammer
case, j which was tried in Guilford
Superior Court, has just been served
against the Southern Railway, the
complaint of the action, which is in
stituted by E. L. Haley, alleging that
because of exposure while working
for the Southern he contracted a bad
cold, which later went into rheuma
tism. Haley asks $3,000 damages.
As set forth in the complaint, which
was drawn by Col. John A. Barringer,
attorney for the plaintiff, Haley was
employed I by the Southern as brake
man. Subsequently he was sent to
Goldsboro to do yard work. The
yards were wet and muddy and be
cause he was forced to work in such
a place he alleges that he contracted
a deep cold, alleging negligence of
his employers in not draining the
ground which its tracks covered. He
worked nine days, when he was
forced to quit. The plaintiff avers
that because of the wet ground on
which the Southern made him work
he suffered great mental agony, bodi
ly pain, loss of time and divers other
things. . He avers further that the
Southern, in not providing him a dry
place to work, is responsible for the
aforesaid suffering and that such was
worth $3,000.

THE FINANCIAL PROBLEM.
Saving! Bunk laves ments- -Item end
Suggest ns
Home Savings Bank Corn Plate.
There has never been a time in the
history of Guilford county when corn
growing was as popular as it is to
day. The writer can remember when
corn was sold on the Greensboro mar
ket for" 37 cents per bushel. Now
every bushel of corn means $1 or
thereabouts, and every" good farmer
is striving to see how much corn he
can produce to the acre, and with the
corn clubs which are offering premi
ums to the highest production, it has
become very popular for every far
mer to see how much corn he can
grow to the acre, and at how little
cost he can make a big yield.
We are very glad indeed to see this
state of affairs existing in our coun
ty, as we think it means a great deal
for the progress of the county and
the community at large.
The Home Savings Bank thought it
would be a nice thing to encourage
corn-growing in this county, so they
have recently purchased avlot of hand
painted corn plates. This is a beauti
ful china dessert plate, with a per
fect green ear of corn painted in the
center, which makes a very beautiful
plate, and one that will grace any
dining-room.
This, progressive bank would like to
give every friend one of these beauti
ful corn plates, but they are so ex
pensive they cannot afford to buy
enough for every one, but have de
cided to give every new depositor
opening a savings account of $5 or
more between now and April 30, one
of these handsome plates. If you do
not get one of them, it will be your
own fault. All you have to do is ito
write or go to the Home Sayings
Bank and make a deposit of $5, when
you will be entitled to one of these
handsome hand-painted corn plates.
Put Your Money in a Savings Bank.
We recently read in a South Caro
lina paper an article urging farmers
and all others people for that matter,
to : start a savings .bank account, and
the advice is so good that we pass it
on to our readers:
"If one keeps money in his pocket,
it is likely to go and he will never
know how it goes; so though you have
only ten dollars in your pocket, go to
one of our banks and start a bank
account. To have money in a bank
will give one a feeling of independ
ence nothing else can give. Do not
think that because you have only five
or ten dollars to start an account the
cashier will not want your deposit.
Any cashier will gladly welocme you
as a depositor if you have but one
dollar."
The editor of the Progressive Far
mer read the article and added the
following:
"We hope thousands of our readers
will follow this excellent counsel.
Having a bank account (1) encour
ages the saving habit, (2) dignifies
the farmer by making him more of a
"business man," (3) provides a better
system of paying out money than
specie payments, (4) helps the com
munity in which one lives, and (5)
makes it easier for the depositor to
borrow in case borrowing instead of
depositing sometimes becomes advis
able. Put your, money in a bank."

tional Union bank by Miss Cynthia
Pinter which amount represented tha
savings of her brother. Hiram Pintler,
for more than seventy years.
Early in life Pintler formed the hab
it of throwing all his small change in
a tin box. He was never forced to
draw from it, and when he died a few
months ago his relatives found the
box filled with a small fortune.
In the collection are many coins of
ancient dates. Large, old copper pen
nies, two-cent pieces, three-cent
Pieces, old nickels and dimes, eagle
pennies, quarters and half dollars, a
few gold pieces and several one-dollar
bills which were of such an out-of-date
appearance that the ordinary person
would consider them counterfeits.
Some of these coins have an added
value because of their age. Never in
the history of the bank has such an
antique deposit been offered.
(If Mr. Pintler had formed the hab
it of putting his money in the savings
bank instead of in a tin box, his for
tune would have been around $5,000
instead of $1,800 at his death. The
accumulation of mompound Interest
wouia nave brought it up to that
amount.)
Put a ten-dollar bill in an old RtnoXc.
ing and keep it there twentv vara
'w j
Then take it out and see what you will
have. Put a ten-dollar bill in the
bank at compound interest and keep
it there twenty years. Then take it
out and see that you will have $21.36.
It's the difference between
and saving. Men have made millions
by saving. No man has ever made a
penny by hoarding.
Bad Negro Shoots Railroad! Conductor
Capt. e. S. Holden, one of the
Southern's passenger conductors run-
nirg, between Greensboro and Wins
ton-Salem, was shot at Kernersville
Friday nigh by Fuel Hairston, a
young negro of this city. The .negro
boarded the train at Winston-Salem
without a ticket and expressed his
intention ot coming to Greensboro
without paying his fare. The conduc-,
tor collected his fare to Kernersville,
where the negro left the train in
an ugly humor. Just as the train
was leaving the Kerrnersville depot,
the negro drew a pistol and fired
at Capt. Holden twice, both bullets
taking effect in the thigh and in
flicting flesh wounds. The negro
made his escape, but was followed
by officers and captured at an early
hour Sunday morning at the home
of a sister in Rockingham county, a
short distance north of Summerfield.
He was committed to jail in Winston-Salem
to await a preliminary
hearing.
After being shot, Capt. 'Holden
brough his train on to GreensborOr,
where he was treated by the South
ern's local surgeon. He returned
with his tr?'n to Winston-Salem and
U expected to resume his regular
run in a few days.
An Aged Woman's Death.

several weeks. She was a sister of
Conty Treasurer McKinney. The fu
neral will be held at Friendship
church this afternoon at 1 o'clock
