MATO Pnpmi CAM, QOERCH Ewro* WASHINGTON, KORTn CAROLINA, JAN. 25, 1018. What is Colonel HousS doing in Europe? U s question that is bo iog asked more Bud more every day. When the Colonel left these shores it was given out that his mission was of no special importance; in fac^ great stress was placed upon this. HoweTor, since his arri val in London, ho has Ken holding several secret conferences with tlio British cabinet and other high officials in that country, llis journey is evidently for no simple purpose as was given out-when he departed from New York. MR. SWINDELL'S SENTIMENTS. . ve t<- -nggestions regarding the appointment of nn advisory committee to act with the county com mit i oners in connection with the road work in tlie township, I believe that the hoard will be glad to wel come them, but >r1t[^8ame time I want to say that the Wrd will use it* own judgment regardless of who is recommended or who makes the recommendations. Words to tho above effect were expressed by W. E. Swindll, chair man of the county board of commissioners, at the meeting of the Washington Township ?ood Roads Association, which was held Fri day night. There is a certain note of defiance in Mr. Swindell's remarks which, we believe, will not be welcomed by the residents of Wash ington township. Mr. Swindell and the board should remember that it is the peo ple's money which is to he spent upon the roads of the township and that they, therefore, have a perfort right to demand that tho men wliom TIIKY choose and select, be put on that advisory committee. The voter*, in the majority of tho matters that are brought up, are content to id low die commissioner? to act as they deem best, but wheu there is a special action to Ik? taken ? an action which will effect eV<yy resident of the township ? should the general public not l?e al lowed to have a voice ?? Mr. Swindell's words may lie taken to mean that "the people cau go ahead and do whatever THEY please, but after they pet through with their ravines, we'll act as WE please.'' If the board takes THIS attitude in the matter, it will make a grave mistake and evoke deserved criticism and condemnation from the voters of the town sTsip. The measure :> ore which the*people should have the power to rVvMo ? and not ^lr. Swindell or the other members of the board THE nriT.DING OF HOMES. The Stale Joitranl., in its issue of last week, comments on an odi tonnl which appeared in a recent edition of the Daily Xews. urging the buildirsr of more homes in Washington. While tho high price of proper" nv?~ r.ot he in effect in thin city, still the Journal's re marks arc \' 'i'1}- timely and interesting. The rditorial reads a* f? .Hows : "Reeetrly the Washington (X. 0.) Daily News declared thiit then was urgent ne> 1 in that community for more homes, and proceeded to show w\v monev put in such property would be a good investment. Tr srw'd tl 't an attractive bungalow could be built for two thousand dollars or less and that a rental of twenty dollars a month could be easily go*?i n arid that, this would yield ten per rent on the invest or ent. Tn this calculation it seems to us that a very important item has been left, out,* which is the land on which to build t.ho bungalow. The reason morn- homes are not built iabecanse the land on which they must t>e built is held at a prnV^ar beyond its present actual, worth. As a result tho capitalist, who does not usually have to be f 'ld where he can make ten per cent, fiuds that after paying a spec ulative value for tlie lot and paying for the building the investment is not. a very profitable one and does not build. Tf all the vacant.] unproductive lots in Xorth Carolina wee# taxed at their true worth there would T?e fewer vacant lots and more homes. And then, if the tax were taken off building, there would be still more homes. This would mean more jobs for carpenters and more trade for the local mr r^nts selling building materials. Just as certainly as a tax on dogs means fewer dogs and therefore more sheep, a tax on homes means fewer home* and therefore more homeless families. T1 i* up to the people of this State to decide whether they will di scour-1 age tho holding of vacant lots or t.ho building of homes. We must' discourage one or the other. For ?or part we prefer to discourage the, former. -i 1 Til K SMALL ACCOUNTS. Most of the merchants in Washington undoubtedly harp ruanv dollars invested in outstanding apcfuinfs. Thev have l?i lis against por-ons whirh it seems impofcsiMe- to collcct and moat of these bill* are for amounts nrrnnging from ten or fifteen cents to two^-<*r threo dollars. ^ There ?ro (wo principal reasons for tb(Me uiicolloctablo small bill*. First, they aro forgotten by tho j>orson who makes therifr^ second, in daring up their obligation?, m?>st person* will usually try to straight en out their big debts and permit the smaller one* to go until last. If all of th**so small bills were collected ami totalled up. it would l*? a safe estimate tu .say that, their amount would run up to ten thousand dollars ? if not considerably more. One inonHiant in the city yesterday showed us that, there was over five hundred dollars due him on bills ? averaging about a dollar ? whieh it seemed im possible to collert. Some of these bills were three, four and ? five years old. Practically every line of business in Washington has some of those small bills on its l>ooks. ftven the newspapers have to constantly follow up su Inscription nnrl fprvall advertising account*. It. seems that persons are content to let these debts go on indefinitely. There is only one cure this condition aud that is for all of the merchants to refiiae credit on all purchases less than a oertain amount. If the Business Men's Association would get together and agree to this, it wouM save the merchants hundreds of dollars every year. ' A PLEA - v,. The Associated Cbaritiw of her at kitvi, urging the residan* I they are earring on. - *1 The association deaerm help end it is . , from thoae wKo cu afford aid, will be liberal. Through its work during the laat year, thie organization has helped many families to clothe and food their children, hae. provided fuel and bed clethiag to thoaa who were unable to- purchase then and done many other acts towards relieving the watata of those who are lees fortunate than ?oat of <m. When, you receive one of the letter* from the association, don't glance over it carelessly and then throw it in the waetefiapv basket Reed it threap and thin ma^e np your mind to help. You'll fed better for doing it. . "j < ? one-cent Postage. Considerable inteWet u being Taken tbrocghout the count 17 orer one-eciit postage. It is proposed to reduee th?-?te o? all hoi letter. from two cents to one oent. When one takes into consideration the fact that it costs the same amount to write to ?noit-dobr onigbbor as it does to .write to f t&U\ in Seattle, Washington, it is evident at * glance 'that the postaMmsi' neas must be operated on altogether different lines from every other businesA in the coowtry. It doesn't seem eaactly just or fair that this condition 'should exist. ' ? - t For exampla A man owes a merchant twenty-five cents. - 11m merchant sends him 'a bill: that'a two eeats gone. The man mails the twenty-five cents; another two oeuta for postage. Then the mer* chants mails a receipt, and there goer another two cents. It to oh six cents to have that bill paid. Many of the stores in Washington send out over a hundred bOla a month. Most of them go to persons living) in the city. The saving in postage, should the rate be cut down,1 would be eomifanMty Thero is a strong opposition to the bilLjn Congress, but it- is be lieved that the efforts of those whoa re foetering.it will be successful BACK TO THE GARDEN OF EDEN. Will we bo forced to change our styles to such an -extent that they* will be similar to those worn by Adam and Eve ? After an investigation of . the increased priee in wearing appareV it should certainly seem-stn TaET note of the following: All classes of dry goods have risen in fhe~past throe months any where from five to fifty per cent at the mills. White goods, such as linens, nainsooks, Batistes, piques, etc., have been advanced by the mills as much as three cents a yard. Wash goods and ginghams have almost been withdrawn by the| mills entirely on account of the scarcity of dye stuffs. Dress linens are extremely scarce. Shoe strings have advanced 300 per cent in price." Lether hides have gone up fifty per cent. I Silks arc going skyward ; taffeta has advanced from 67 V2 to 82V? cents; crepe from 90 cents to $1.05 ; satins from 65 to 77 Vfc cents. At the rate the price** are jumping, it will be only a short, time jTSefore even fig leaves ar byond the reach of tlios who are not blessed with a super-abundance of the wherewithal!.
