GOOD MANAGEMENT
We often hear folks talking

Salisbury, at leait plod aloag
in the beaten path. To gome
extent such advise is wort)
while, at least so long as i
may be impossible to do bat
ter, and, with this idea of the
situation, we submit the sug
gestion contained n the fol
lowing taken fron this mora
ing's Charlotte Observer:
Water bills for the past
month show the promised re
duction of 25 cents and con
sumers are paying in happier
spirit5?. The management cf
the water boaid will be the
better understood by the pen
pie of the city when the last
of the indebtedness of the
company shall have been paid
off the coming Spring and the
way will be clear to the estab
lishment of a still cheapei
schedule of water rates. The
board has been steadily liqui
dating thi debt and has been
doing so with the imposition
of the minimum of burden on
consumers. In this there ha
been an admirable display of
financial skill. The plant
once cleared of debt water
will be supplied to the people
of Charlotte at as near actual
cost as safety will permit.

Reed, a highly respectable
colored woman, 80 years of
age, who lived near the home
of John L. Barnbardt, in No.
9 Township, this morning lost
her life in a fire which " de
stroyed her heme.
Her house was near that of
her son, and she was last seen
only a short time before the
fire was discovered by neigh
bors, between 7 and 8 o'clock.
All her people were probably
in the fields, and knew noth
ing of the fire.
When the nearest neighbors
reached the scene they tried
to enter the house, but found
the door fastened, and could
not gain an entrance. The
house then was all in flames,
and the roof ready to fall in.
After the fire had burned
down, the charred body of
the woman was found in the
ruins.
