Idequacyof the present school

increased facilities and ways

pessity of having the school

only sensible course is to sell
building and lot, and erect a

ylot as soon as the necessarv

The democrats have - carried
Maine.
The opposition to the prohibition
law. was a leading factor in the
election. This opposition has been
steadily growing and has been
teridlni to reduce republican ma
jorities,, for v the republican party
favored prohibition, while the dem-
"wets" increased their strength and
were able to turn the state over to
he democrats by a small margin.
South
Carolina
After an exciting and rather un
pleasant contest, the democratic pri
maries in South Carolina have re
sulted in the' nomination of Blease
for governor. This is regarded as a
victory for the "wets." Blease is a
man whose record is none too good,
but his anti-prohibition views secur
ed the support of the majority of his
party, as the South Carolina demo
cracy evidently has no use for prohibition.
That He Based His Campaign
on a Silly Yarn
Special Agent Headed This Way to
Select a Site
When J. M. Gudgerjr. decided to base his campaign up
on the silly pretense that the public buildings bill was a
"fake," it was evident that he was banking on the supposed
ignorance of the voters. His claim was a. manifest absurd
ity, as he was doubtless well aware; it was bound to be ex
posed as soon as the" facts could be presented to the voters.
His only chance was to stir up as much doubt and uncertain
ty as possible in the hope that election day would come be
fore the facts could catch up with his misrepresentations.
The public buildings bill "authorized and directed" the
secretary, of the treasury to purchase ihe sites and let con
tracts for the buildings therein named,. As it was of course
impossible to do all this work at once,- the money for it was
not set aside out of this year's revenues. This is perfectly
natural. Uncle Sam is something of a . business man and
does not tie up this year's money for next year's work.
Pensions are all the time being authorized and directed, and
the money is set aside as it is needed, not before it can pos
sibly be used. The construction of the Panama canal was
authorized and directed; but the hundreds of millians of
dollars necessary were not set aside out of current funds at
tKeoutsefr tEey were made available as fast as they were
needed for the actual work. The purchase of sites and
erection of buildings named in this year's bill have been
authorized and directed; and, if any proof were needed that
the money will be forthcoming, that proof is furnished by
the fact that the treasury department is now sending out
special agents to select the sites for buildings authorized
in this year's public buildings bill.
It is a safe bet that Mr. Gudger wishes he had not
based his hopes on a fallacy which is so easily exploded.
Last week we learned from an j will then be notified to make the
authoritative source that a special i necessary titles in order that the
agent was headed for this state for ; construction of the necessary build-

the work of site-selection. Shortly
afterwards we noticed the following
Washington dispatch to the Char
lotte Observer:
i -
Washington, Sept. 10. Acting
Secretary Charles D. Hilles has de
tailed agents of the Treasury Depart
ment to visit cities for which new
government buildings were provided
at the last session of Congress, and
to inspect the sites which have been
offered in response to advertisements
William D. Windon will visit Penn
sylvana, New York and the New
England States, and Col. J. P. Lew
will visit the central Western states.
Mr. Hilles will go to St. Louis within
the next month and select a site for
a new sub-treasury.
The name of those to be sent to
the Southern cities will be announc
ed in a few day s" and a personal in
spection made of the property offer
ed.
A few days later the following
dispatch appeared in the daily pa
pers, and it is a "clincher":
Washington, Sept 12. It was an
nounced at the Treasury Depart
ment today that M. 0. Van Horton,
special agentv would at once be
dispatched to North Carolina to
select sites for public buildings m
accordance with the act of congress
passed in June.'
Mr. Van Hoftoh will visit Frank

and Shelby,-andi personally , inspect
the- sites which -have been r offered

This settles the matter. The

States government means business
and does not indulge in practical
I jokes.
