Maybe it was. We see head lines entitled Tassh.g of the Panic " We thought it had passed, but were 'not informed as to its place of hiding. Last week we stated that the railroads had offered to pay $17,- OOOtowards paying off the htiga- uon, wnicri nas oeen going on in the courts, and the expenses of r A. the extra j session of the legisla- tare. Governor ttlenn says none of this money is to-be used for the purpose of paying any "part of the expenses of the legislature and that it-will not be sufficient to pay all the cost of the litigation. We are glad to note this correction. One of the peculiar things about this matter is the fact that some of the most pronounced grafters in the State objected to the rail ways paying anything toward their salaries. They could afford to do this, knowing their salaries would be paid any way out of the State treasury. Senator-Simmons not only had the nerve to come out for State Prohibition, but he had the ability to see the on-coming wave, the grace to submit, the sagacity to make an effort to avoid tbe strife and terrnoil of a popular election and to admit its morality above that of politics and party ism. The telephone patrons of Salis bury seem to be somewhat dissat isfied with the rate3 of the Bell Telephone Company here and talk is. heard favorable to an indepen dent company. The aldermen, it is said, still have under consid eration u franchise for an inde pendent company. This company should, in the interest of the people, be given a franchise. The Bell Company is a powerful cor poration, greedy and grasping and arbitrarily fixes rates from which our citizens have no recourse. This is a great injustice ' and Bhould not be. Salisbury Merchants Association. The Retail Merchants Associa tion of Salisbury held a regular session Thursday night and elect ed the following -officers: T. B. Brown, president; W. T. Rainey, vice-president; F. R, Brown, sec retary and,W. M. Cook, treasurer. The telephone rates in Salisbury were discussed, also the matter of feakiug trains1 Nos. 2J and 22 off the western division of the South ern. A committee was appointed to co-operate with other associa tions with purpose of having same restored. A resolution claiming the reduced passenger rates to be (-injuring busiuees and asking the repeal ot the present rate law ana the adoptiou of that agreed upon by Governor Glenn and the South ern Railway officials, be substi tuted therefore, was passed unan imously by thoso present at the meeting. y DEATHS. : , Sheets, John, ; died Saturday morning at his home on Chestnut Hill.
