THE CAROLINA WATCH MAIL WM. II. 8TBWA.Br, Ed. and Prop Pnbliihed every Tuesday at 120 West Innes street. Entered as second-class matter Jan. 19th. 1905, at the post office at Salis bury, N. O., under the act of Congiss of March 8rd, 1897. SUBSCRIPTION PRICE. Watchman and Record, one year two papers per week, cash in advance, $1,00 per year ; six months, 60c. Salisbury, N.C. Mail. 16th 1910 According to our news items of 1865, 900 people ap plied for the postmastership of Raleigh, that year. This must have included all the women and children in the place and was almost as bad as it is in Durham this year. Last week we stated that it was a peculiar co-incident that the city attorney did not discover that the Aldermen had no right to use any of the general funds of the city for the public schools during the former administration instead of doing so now when the schools, were so much in need of aid. In making this statement we were of the opinion that it was part of the city attorney's duties to call the aldermen's attention to any violation of the law, or advise them as to the le gality of any contract or or dinance proposed or enacted, or as to the legality of the collection of taxes and the expenditure of funds, etc. But, this seems not to be the case, hence we were thus led into doing one of the best lawyers and most upright citizens in the State an injus tice. As we now understand it the city attorney has no prescribed duties and is not expected to offer any advice on any subject unless called upon so to do. Burton Craige, Esq., was then, and is now, the city attorney. Every one who knows Mr. Craige knows that, if called upon, he would not have failed to interpret the law correctly then, just as he does now. We take it this question was not raised at that time, the city attor ney's advice was not asked, consequently he rendere no opinion. It was not our in tention to make any reflec tion on Mr. Craige, and , we hasten to call attention to the error in our former inadver tant statement. The split-log drag for im proving the public roads seems to be one of the best and cheapest methods of keeping the roads in good condition known and yet with the miles and miles of bad roads in this and adjoining counties no one, no public spirited citizen, no county commissioner, no howling bond advocate, or other per son, seems to be willing to tke a few hours' time to try it or set the example in its use. Probably the laost important factor in keeping a road in good condition lies in the mat ter of proper drainage. The split-log drag will do much in this particular by filling up the holes and ruts and forcing the water off the road bed. Our County Corns missioners spent some money, and with fairly goed results, last summer by usiyg a scraper onseveral roads, and now a very favorable opportunity presents itself for a trial of the splitslog drag practically without cost for the appara tus and less expense. By the use of this drag they could do much toward satisfying neighborhoods that are clam oring for macadam roads, set a splendid example and save the county money . However, whether the commissioners will undertake such a scheme or not, no one one should sit idle and miss the opportunity to get the good work started.. Such work is for both per sonal and the public good and no one should hesitate to set the example. It not only makes travel better, but it saves both the individual and the county money. It saves time, it saves the team, it saves "wear, tear, repairs and taxes, for it takes money for the county to macademize a road and the county gets its money by taxing the individs ual. So the more attention those who travel give them, the less attention is needed from the county and should be less taxes, or, it mauat least save the county consid erable money and give the authorities time and oppoi tunity to more thoroughly prosecute the work of macach amizing roads and keeping in repair those that have been macadamized. Representative Burnett, of New York, seems to be very much worried over the pro posed head tax . of $10.00 on immigrants. He says it will keep out the Russian Jew and the Armenian, both poverty stricken and persecuted peo ple. We believe the average American has as much syms pathy for the poor and perse cuted as Mr. Bennett, but they realize at the same time that the person who cannot, or is unwilling, to pay ten dollars for the privilege of becoming an American citi zen, is not likely to make a very desirable addition to the country's population. Possi bly Mr. Bennett could induce the ocean liners to reduce the cost of passage if he cmnot prevail upon Congress to let down ihe bars to 50-cent citi zens. Millions of our best citizens would rejoice to see this head-tax made $25.00 rather than $10.00. While on this subiect we want to say that we regret to notice that the Southern Railway is now engaged in an effort to catch anything that can pay its fare to a Southern State. Our citizens should protest against this effort to make our section a dumping ground. uur people are awakening to their necessi ties, and have the ability and hardihood to perform them. There is no cry here for la borers, cheap citizens, and we believe the course of wis dom is to retain what we have in the way of vacant land and raw and undeveloped re sources for our own use and hand them down to our chil dren and our children's chil dren, and make it go as far as it is possible- to do so. Some may say this is old-fo-gyism and miserly. We an swer, not at all. We, the Southern people, should make our Southland one grand garden, the greatest and most progressive section on earth. We should produce every bushel of grain, every pound of meat, every crate of fruit and vegetables, every stick of timber, every pound of metal, in fact every article to be used, raw or manufac tured, not alone for home consumption but for export. This may not mean that strenuosity for which the lot auctioneers and ticket sellers crave, but it does mean a wise conservation of our re sources and the keeping of a sure foot-hold on our native heath. Probably the saddest picture and most powerful plea for the restriction of im Z &1 1 THE REASON WHY mm IS TBS BEST STRENGTHENING TONIC for Feelo Old People, Delicate Children, Weak, Run-down Persons, and to Counteract Chronic Coughs, Colds and Bronco tis, is because it combines the two most world-famed tonirs --the medicinal, strengthening, body-building elements ofC-.d Liver Oil and Tonic Iron, without oil or grease, tastes good, and agrees with every one.

Mr. Louis D.
