The following resolution was introduced and adopted at the Repul’*lican County Convention at (’traham Saturday Sept. 17th, l^UO. Read it, it means some^ thing: to the people of Ahimance County: The Republican party of Ala mance cou.ity in convention assembled do hereby resolve. 1st. We are in thorough ac- c-.'fd with the National and State ; !at forms of our party and we hereby proclaim our unfaltering jJleo-iance thereto. 2nd. ' We believe our people are entitled to an economic adminis tration of the government in ail its grades and its every depart-' merit, and taking the county as a uTiit, we demand that our county oiiicers be placed upon a salary basis and that ail fees and epolu- i .ents novr pertaining to said of- liees be turned into and made a liiU’t of the school funds of the county. ‘ ;Jrd. Believing that the safety of our government and our pros- p-jriiy as a nation depend upon tiie education of the masses, we emphasize our loyalty to that por- lion of our state pla.tiorm deelar- in.u" for the furnishing, free of cliai'ge and ur.der proper regula tions, all necessary text books for every child in the public schools State. In the event of the uj-e. by the legislature, to pass a state-wide law, providing for the purchase of text books for the jrablie schools, we demand the fcnaciment of a law, apply mg to AJa:nance county, that will per mit and require the savings ac cruing to^the county by reason of the payment of salaries to our of ficials to be applied to the pur-; chase of books for the children in our own public schools. ot ine 4th. fail- % 5 S fj >ri Lexingto w. Ingh * will l>v; oi reter^ Bryan the Bolter. I>iltiuiore American. It would be a neglect of duty utterly beyond excuse to_ fail to record each particular interest ing act and attitude of Mr. Wil- iiawi Jennings Bryan._ The latest these is his repudiation of his paity’s nominee for governor of -'''eijraska. Mr. Bryan deplores nis defection from the party’s I'sjiicies and persons. His lament keyed to a jeremiad note tiiui nevertheless seeks to be ciieerful, for Mr. Bryan insists that he is consistent wdth his POftition in the past and his atti tude in the future upon the sub- of chief concern in the local pf^litics of native state. The fji'estion at issue is not the im- nt point, it is the fact that 'h yan, the repeated champ- f'f his party in the presiden- c.'intests and the great un- ‘hied, should find it nccessary ■ sidestep the candidate for '■ yei'fior in his own state, and ’ •'‘iciy and with due humanity i'ess that he has abandoned urity even by so much, ryan the Bolter is a new •'■i, of the many-sided man. iiHs frequently bolted within pHJty, but he has never be- - bolted outside it. Mr. Bun Pearrington, known in Burlington’s buisness and so cial relms, now a student at Carolina received a painful wound Thursday when he accidently shot himself in the leg while play ing with a supposedly unloaded gun. The ball flattened against the bone. Located by an x-ray photo, the ball was extracted and Bun is resting easily. The different classes of the University have elected their presidents and the University Council, jthe student organ of self-' goverment, will soon inaugurate itself for the years work. _ The student body of the Univer sity is probably more nearly abso lutely self-governing than that of any other institution in the count ry. The University Council has legal existence delegated it by the Board of Trustees last Com mencement. Student self-gover- ment began here with the literary societies in olden times when membership was compulsary and the laws governing the society men reached the entire body of students. The literary societies lost their grip on;the college with the removal of the membership requirment and the faculity had to make up the work of ririing the boys. Gradually the Democra tic spirit in North Carolina man ifested itself in the evolution of student self-goverment in Cha|)el Hill. The chief instrument in this development was the Honor System. The sentiment of the college first took unto itself the right to de^l with cheating on examination. The students forc ed a man to leave first for cheat ing and gradually added other offenses to the list with v/hich it delit on its own authority. By Iasi spring the student council were expelling men found guilty of the charge of gambling; haz ing, cheating, drinking. A com plication arose when a man expell ed by the council was reinstated by the faculty. A committee of the students asked the Trustee for official recognition of the council. This the Trustees guve, and the student body of the Uni versity of North Carolina is now a self-governing democracy, just as real and just as sound as any community goverment in the state. The officers of the Council this year are Arehie Dees, president of the senior class, ex-offiicio chairman; G. W. Thompson, rep resentative from the senior class A. B. Folger, president of the junior class; R. W. Scott, presi dent of the sophomore class; C. B. Ruffin, representative of the law class; F. J. Hunuicut, presi dent of the second year pharmacy class; and G. A. Wheeler, presi dent of the second ■ year medical cis^ss* The Alamance County Club is closley and vitally organized this year.

' Apart from ethical considera- tlpns the point of interest is the of a bribe for a service in making conditions in the coun try so attractive as to turn the drift of population back from the cities to the farms. - Road conservation was advoca ted by Mr. Finley in the hne of having improvements made on; those roads radiating from mar ket and shipping points, which are naturally of the great service to the farming population. The employment of competent road engineers by each county _wa>; recommended, as was the issu ing of bonds to pay the first cosi: of expensive road improvement. As illustrating the importance of good roads to the farmer Mr, Finley gave facts showing the relative cost of transportatior, over good and bad v/agon roads and over highways, as follows Wagon road transportation^ is; now the least economically effici ent foi*m of transportation that we have. Figures compiled by . , , . x- j- the^Office of Public Roads shovi- l^ardon to undergo infection for \^%ieh inan ideal state of civiliza tion should be voluntarily perform ■ed without hope of ulterior re ward. Some day ' there may be exist a peace soldiery enlisted for service of the kind and ready at any time to furnish volunteers to establish a medical theory for the- §ubhc benefit;. . V There is as much glory in a war against crime and disease as in x;-iie for conquest, and there is a higher courage in risking death for the advancement of scierce than in military valor. No doubt the: material for such exists. Dr. ■!4^iley’s poison squad showed the #ift, and a real service of this mature was preformed by United States soldiers in the war an yel- l,jw fever. In the more or less re r4ot|. future it should not be nec-* eSsjiry to bribe cohviSt with a that the cost of carrying one ton one mile on the country roads oi;' the United States, good and bad, average from 19 cents to 27 cent.-; while for the bad roads along the average is probably something; over 30 cents per ton per mile., As Hon. L. W. Page, Director of the United States Offce of Public Roads has said: ‘Tt is costing j us about thirty-five times as much I ^ to haul our products over the wa gon roads as it is to hanl the samf.; tonnage on the I’ailroad. ” How it efl'ects the marketing of speci- ; fic crops may be illustrated bj' stating some figures compiled by the Office of Public Roads based on the crop year 1905 and 1906, These figures show that the ave rage length of haul of the wheat crop of that year over the wagorr roads was 9.4 miles, and that the average cost per ton per mile was 10 cents. The average length ot the corn crop of that yeai' was 7.4 miles, and the average cost per ton per mile was 10 cents The ave’-’age length of the cottor^ crop of that year was 11.8 miles and the average cost per ton pex mile was 27 cents. It is estima ted that the average cost per tor; per mile of hauling each of these three crops to a market tovm or shipping,station over good hard: roads would have been ID cents and that good roads would haye meant a saving of $10,256,058 in the cost of. marketing the wheat: crop of that year; $12,709,278 it: the cost of marketing the corr; crop of that" year, and |5,076,18?:'. in the cost of marketing the cot ton crop of that year. £he benefit of humanity.

Mr. Jas. P. Mohtgdmery; Sec’y and Treas City of Burlington. Dear gir:—Your, letter; enclos ing a copy of certain resdlutit>ns: passed by your Board of Alder men of the City: of Burlihgtkt, September 28th, 19J0, relative to'" said Board rescihdihg, repealing,' and declaring hull and vpid a cer tain contract Which said Board entered into witih me', has been received and contents car'efully noted. I:,submit that such resblulioiis are surprisingly strange for that you are declaring hull and void a contract written iand prepared by your attorney, about which I had nothing to do in its writing save and except signing my narhe/ thereby agreeing to :abide by its terms. Your attorney v^rbte my proposition in letters, words, and terms to meet yotir approvg,! and you accepted said proposition in your own w^’itten; words. You ga ve me a copy bf said ■ contract and under its terrris, with other things, I am giveh unlimited time with which to deposit check and to sell the bonds; Although you gave me this unlimited time, I did not take advatage of your kindness but deposited check with the Alamance Loan and Trust Company and immediately found two purchasers: for bonds. Then it was that the newspa pers and some of the citizens, who had fought the bond issue from the beginning, began to criticize you for your action. And then it was that you held another meeting and limited my time to deposit check to ten days. Accordingly, I ' tendered your Honorable Mayor within three days, in the presence of witnesses, a certified check of ONE THOU SAND ($1,000.00) DOLLARS and he refused to accept same. Further, you refused to give me a certified copy of, the proceed ings in the Bond Issue, thereby crippling me in furnishing the information desired by the par ties to whom I have agreed to sell the bonds. , ' N i ; I have lived up to the contract in every particular and in good faith. You know the contract for it is a matter of record. I have a copy of said contriact Sign ed by your Mayor and your Sec retary, pro-tem, together with a letter from yotir City Attorney, Mr. Carroll, redommending the transaction in highest terms. I shall therefore exercise my best ability to save myself harm less in this matter. I shall also depend upon you and your Board, individually and in the capacity of Aldermen for the City of Bur lington, to carry out this contract to the letter. To do otherwise, would be chilxia play. Respectfully, ' J. W. Cates The Board of Commissioner*. for Alamance county, at their riggular meeting the first Monday in October made an order to bor row five thou§anii dollars from The Virginia Cotton ' Mills, of Swepsonville, Alamance county North Carolina. This is one of the mills that the Democrats say have been ruined by ti^e High Protective tariff. And yet under this high Republican !lh*otective tariff, this cotton mill is able te lend a battkrupt' county treasur?? under :l)emoCii^tie county and State government the sum of five thousand dollars, at the low rate of six per cent interest. What does our esteemed neighbor. The Burlington News say about this? j Your readers would be delighted to hear your opinion about it Your Board of Commissioners have managed county matters so badly the pasi two years that they have got to have five or ter thousand dollars more right away to meet pressing obligations. We . know of some more mills thafc^' have been ruined according to your theory by this high Repub lican Ptotective tariff that could lend yopr Denriocratic Board the money if they choose to do so. Would you like to know whatt mills they are? We will tell yoi if you ask it. And perhaps you had better find out, because we doubt if any of the banks in the county will lend your board ianj* more, and you have got to have it, havn’t you dear neighbor. TeS us about it in your next issue please. : "f ■' ’14 ’14 Tobacco Market. This week goes down in history record breaker for tobacco ri- Attendance. Collection. M.

The entire city : was shocked yesterday morning -when it was known that Wilham A. Sharpe had committed suicide at his home, 328 Gorrell sti^et, between the hours of 11 and 12 o’clock. He had been in poor health for several weeks and the family had been warned by ^ their physiciau to watch him. Yesterday morning, however, he in some way unknown to his wife, who had been closely watch ing him, secured a razor, and o» the pretext of taking a bath, went alone to the^ bathroom, where, removing his outer cloth ing, he sat down in the bathtub and, with the razor, cut > hie throat. The jug-ular vein was severed and death resulted in s, few minutes, r The deceased was about 62 years old and had resided in the city for the past’ 20 years. He drove the United States mail wagon for eight years, after which time and ujp to within a few weeks ago he sold oil from a private wagon. , Mr. Sharpe’s affairs were all io, good shap^, the felicity of his home was perfect, and no other cause than temporary insanity or despondency can be attri buted to his having taken his own 'iii'e.
