Watchman and Record, one year two papers per week cash in advance, $1,00 ' at en. per year , six muuiiiu, uuu. Salisbury, N.C. Mjr. 9th 1910. On another page we print a communication from Mayor A. L. Smoot and chairman ex-offiois of the Bohool board, staling why the question of discontinuing the schools arose, noting the embar. rassed condition of the city's treas jjjey and hinting at the cause of . such embarrassment. Wea are glad to publish this and think jt should receive a careful jD0il by all who really .wish to see prib hc affairs conduoted on honorable and business like methods. Mr. Smoot states that some of the ac counts go back as far as Prof. Coon's administration," 1902 and 1903, including supplies of all kinds, including coal bills. This is a pretty showing for an administration which boasted that the revenue from the saloons supplied the funds with which to rnn the schools, more so when we remember the former administra tion, which incurred these debts and gave these notes, was then receiving an enormous sum from the saloons, distilleries and, whole Bale liquor dealers. Now the facts in the case, at they appear on the serface, seem to be as fol lows : During the recent Boyden administration, saloons, distiller ut and wholesale liquor dealers were licensed and paid into the general fund of the city about $30,000 per annum. A very neat sum and sufficient to run the schools, if it had been so applied. Ar we understand it, these special taxes were put in a general fund, tbt re being no legal provision whatever for the schools, and it is expressly stated that no money from the general fund should be us)d for the schools, there was no authority to use the saloon money, the amount borrowed, or any other money for that matter, to run the schools. Hence the statement that the schools depend ed on this particular revenue for their existance is not only false, but if any receipts had been so used it was a misapplication of euch receipts. And it is a re markable coincident that our city attorney did not discover and point out this fact then, instead of now when the schools are so - badly in need. At any rate the schools are now sadly crippled by MA-IT- DADl M V (guuvy auu A CVXkiUOOUvDD of the former abministration, the administration which reoieved annually the $30,000 from the - whiskey dealers. Yet, in the face . of these facts, the friends of the f nA nvfl"ntTOfin r tr r n A fiAnlrlaoanAfla former administration and advo cates of whiskey are laughing and saying: "I told you so." Tons it- looks like a studied effort to cripple the schools in a spirit oj revenge, with the demagogical . utterances of friendship for the schools by the whiskey advocates to the contrary nevertheless. Revenge may be sweet but it is a boomerang that is true to its course. The schools may be tem porarily crippled, temperance may be temporarily defeated but. truth endureth and will arise ' triumphant in the due course of time.
