Salisbury, N. C, Sept. 29, '15, . To get the full value of a palm beach and. a straw lid now is the time to wear them. The best time to prevent fires is twenty-four hours every jday in the year and about ninety-five per Cent, of the people know this. Since we have got to drink Salisbury hydrant water for several years yet, it might be well to return to the "boost ing" thereof. Although knowing the bill authorizing the recent bond election was out of harmony with the State constitution, Mayor Woodson is still en deavoring to induce some one to buy them. The financial papers say he will receive bids up to October 1st. The Raleigh Woman's Club is to have a baby contest at the State fair. Now don't that jar you? Tins is on a Dar with going out in the woods to see v who can find the largest Dersimmon, the oldest rat or. the most spotted owl. To produce real results it would be necessary to start about three hundred years before the baby is born. we might adopiL for -future use the phrase: No law is a good law. The whole trouble however, comes from a lack of interest and . intelligent activity on the part 'of the people. ,in other, words,-they should get together, and see that we have public servants in reality and in truth, not public bosses. It is a jtrange trait of humanity, however, to nctfl how much of a bur den a community or state will bear and how long it will tolerate an injustice, rather than make an effort to rid themselves of it, provided, it is the result of so-called law. People prefer peace and plod along, with all the world's history before them pointing positively to ruin, or rebell ion, yet go on uutil inn last straw has been placed and the route ha? lecKhem into a seathing caldron of strifa aud destruction, it stems that no amount ot l o g l c, no amount of reasoning and no amount of urging availeth ought until the sobering in fluence of some great adver sitv has done its work. Yet we call ourselvesg intelligent, progressive, enlightened, etc. What a great calamity now presents itself to our view as we gaze upon conditions in Europe, what suffering, what strife and how appaling. the consequences, how lasting the effects and what little is to be accomplished, and what small satisfaction is to be gained thereby, ought to verj forcibly remind us of the ne cessity of holding down bos sism, officialdom and mon archal tendencies. T h e American people are the stockholders of our great government and if wise they will ever cling most tenaci ously to the reins that guide the ship of State, for thus only will we be able to avoid the results of reckless and self-seeking drivers. The Rowan County Com missioners were everlastingly right in making protest be fore the State tax commission relative to the Jen per cent, which it added to the already increased fate on the real es tate, of Rowan -County. Taxes are too high, and when we say too high that is what we mean, regardless of relative values or rates else where The value of real estate is considerably less now than for several years, rents have decreased, many people have been out of em ployment and the present is altogether an improper time for an increase, besides all this, there has been no-de maud on the part of the peo ple for the said tax commis sion, nor the things for which it stands, and there fore it should not have come into existence, but in this re spect this new scheme is like, many others. Our law makers are in the habit of forgetting the peo ple, forget that they are lay ing down a rule, not for a few favorites, a few well. to-do, or for prosperous times but for all the people, more than a majority or a partyrs strength, for all classes and conditions, a majority of whom are poor, to be enforced by the whole power ot the State if neces sary. The county will have to submit, but it is to be hoped we may learn sorae thing as a result. The Watchman is inclined to be lieve the next representatives from Rowan will go to Ral eigh with instructions to show the State Tax Commis sion, where to get off, pos sibly others. For instance, let's side-step a little. There has been no de1 mand on the part of the people for at least ninety per cent, of the appropriations made by the legislature and there fore they should not have been made, and further w e suspect that the State would be just as well off with fifty per cent, less of the officials she now has and probably the same proportion ot laws. The great mistake our law-making bodies are guilty of is, in listening to the advice of lit tle committee and often in dividuals, who are generally more accustomed to working a shell-game on the Epwjrih League's Meeting at Spsncer. Tha Epwjrth League of the Method s$ church held a three days' seBsion at Spsncsr Friday, Saturday aud Suudiy, when an iu fceresting program was carried out ud a good attendance was prei en?. in meetings- were neia in the Spencar Methodist Chorcb, of vhich R-?v. 0- & .
