WATER. SCHOOLS AND
STREETS.
We have all seen the baby
that would set up a howl be
cause it was not allowed to
play with its father's, watch
although a rattle and a half
dozen other articles were at
hand for its particular use.
This seems to have been the
-case when certain parties
wanted a new 'court house
and now seems to be the sit
nation with certain parties
in regard to school building?,
wat at nlant and streets, or
rather a street.
We have a water plant and
by a little expenditure the
dam can be built higher, the
water from adjacent springs
can be piped to it and im
pounded, and every require
ment of the city's need be
met for years to come if there
was a will to do this. Judi
cious attention nere can
1 bring about a transposition
! similar to that of the old
court house if, If, I F. But
somebody for some reason
wants bonds, aDd this matter
is being so forcibly put, and
that by our servants, not the
sovreiflrn taxpayers, thaiit
causes one to .wonder wheth
er it is bonds or a better
water supply that is really
wanted. It might be wfcll
to inquire right here as to
whether the .funds of the
present water plant have been
so badly managed that there
are none and the improve
ments said to be needed can
not be made without an ap
propriation from another
'source? We do not know
this to be true, but some folks
- think that there is something
'in this, and if it is, then it
would not be wise to place
a larger sum in the same jeop
ardy. Someone has intimate
ed that much of the so-called
profits noted in the recent
report of the water board wae
a forfeiture made by a bidder
for bonds, not profits. As to
the source of water a man
does not have to be a doctor,
. a bacteriologist, nor even a
wise guy to know that germs
are as apt to get into an open
river as an open creek, es
pecially when that river is
the dump for the sewerage of
Winston-Salem, Yadkin Col
lege and other points, besides
covering a much largerterri
tory and making the water
shed more difficult to super
vise. It should also be noted
that every argument in be
half of the Yadkin River
project is just as applicable
to the present location. The
law can be invoked here as
easily as elsewhere, the tys
phus germs will die as quick
ly in the waters of Crane
Creek as in the Yadkin, and,
Salisbury is indeed fortunate
in that she has already a
plant that can be put in the
best of condition at a very
small cost, if any attention
is needed at all, but she is
indeed unfortunate in having
some folks wljo oan't under
stand how a chicken coop can
be built without -bonds,
boitds, BONDS. As to the
well proposition, many.prefer
this plan to the present sys
tern, or that proposed. EX
PERTS tell us that there is
no better section in the coun
try to get an abundant sup
ply of perfectly pure and de
sirable, germ proof water
than right here. Everybody! number of tax-pay era
knows that
into an open " stream, vbut we
Buppose, that if we can't build
a chicken coo p without
bonds, neither .could we dig
a well without th ?m, but we
can easily keep our resour-
ces eternally taut 10 . me
breaking point by paying in
terest on bonds. r
As to schools we find the
same conditions . Like the old
court house nothing can be
done. No additional rooms
can be built, no paint can be
applied, no equipment can be
purchased and no arrange
ment whatever can be made
unless we vote a $200,000 bond
issue to get a few thousand
for new buiiaings ana give
some hungry contractors a
chance to make a neat little
sum furnishing supplies
etc., etc. We are advised
that the new territory just
takea in will increase the
city's resources about $20,0(0,
enough to build a new school
every year for some time to
come and if our cUy fathers are
so extremely anxious that our
new citizens have new school
buildings, some such arrange
ments might be made with
the extra revenue. This
would be giving them some
thing for their money, giving
it to them after the payment
is made just as all honorable
transactions are conducted.
The man who wants to take
something out before he has
paid southing in is not right
and it we had money in a
bank he was managing we
would get it out quick, very
quick.. But what are we go
ing to do with the children?
Well, since no one has burn
ed, blew up, or otherwise de
stroyed the buildings we have
and in course of construction
they can be used, as - hereto
fore. If they heed: repairing
we might look around and get
some carpenters, painters andi
others who could be induced
to make the repairs. We
might even discover a doctor
(or buy a dollars worth of dis
infectants,) who would fumi
gate the buildings. And, and,
if our superintendent just
cant be induced to attend to
thefunctionsjertaining to his
job and let his employers, the
people, attend to theirs, it is
possible we could import some
one from Chicago, or some
other point, who would be
perfectly willing to do sq,
pivs a little love for the dear
children and, incidentally,
the salary.
Streets and sewerage. Well,
did you ever hear of such an
enormous expenditure for
streets and sewerage. Why
$20,000 would probably fix up,
tfith both, two blocks, or if
tar via was used, possibly five
blocks, or if it should get lost
in our empty treasury, we
would not know. where it got
to. If the denizens of the
Kesler Mill, Vance Mill, Jer-
a - - ft 1 A I 1 fit
sey uity ana unestnui am
neighborhoods have and idea
that the city will be able to
construct nice little streets
along in front of their resi
dences, or even have any in
tention of doing so, they are
allowing themselves to b e
played tor suckers and are
doomed to disappointment.
Mark that.
Now, as to our officials. We
know them and esteem their
friendship highly, but with
kindness, ask, Why do they.
our servants, assume the roll
of bosses and dictators? When
was it that this change of au
thority took place? Are not
you still our servants and
are not your positions merely
executive.? Isn't it our busi
ness to tell you what we want
and your business to perform,
or get off the job? Isn't it
according to our form of gov
ernment for the majority to
rule, to say what they want
and what they don't want?
Then how come this whole
affair? Have any appreciable
asked
modesty is a very ' becoming
thing even tor sacrificing ser
vants. " V " ?V fS
It seems to us the people of
Salisbury? h a v e suffered
enough at the hands of ;agK
tators, that they have been
played f o r suckers o n g
enough and often enough and
that every conservative, sen
Bible and hon e t man , every
well-wisher of the communi
ty should see the danger- of
issuing bonds, bonds, bonds.
Why is not the city's resources
conserved and the improve
ments made with cash from
the treasury as business men
hand private citizens manage
their affairs? The bond issu
ing business must come to an
end some time and mere is
none better than the present,
before we get in too deep, be
fore the city . goes into the
hands of receivers, as others
are now being forced to do.
How many of our people know
that about $25,000 is being
paid outijnow as interest?
Money being sent away that
should he used here. If this
bond issue carries an addi
tional $10,000 will have to be
paid out to Northern capital
ists, making a total of $35,000,
enough to build and equip a
new, modern school building
every year, bnall we go on
in this ruinous course. Shall
we let the babies longer have
their way? No. Be men and
say by your votes, No! No!

had to sit down and
when I would sweep
the floor I would get

and before I did my
dusting I would have
to lie down. I got
go poorly that my folks thought I was
going into consumption. One day I
found a piece of paper blowing around
the yard and I picked it up and read it.
It said 'Saved from the Grave,' and
told what Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegeta

showed it to my husband and he said,
