All of us are sincere In our efforls to arrive at the right solution. We all desire to see the city go forward, not recklessly upon policies which will benr fruit of regret—but sanely, conservatively and substantially. The more the 8ub."'ect is discussed the better the chance of reaching a right solution. It is the dutv of every one to take a hand in the settlement of the problem. It is the duty of every one to cast h’s vote in the straw ballot, for by so doing it will be possible to get a correct concep tion of the popular attitude on the matter. Send in your views on the subject briefly, and cast your vote either for or against the bond issue. SOUTHERN COMMERCIAL CON GRESS. The next meeting of the Southern Commercial Congress will be held in Atlanta March S-10. A large committee has been named in Charlotte to represent the Queen City, and other Southern cities are to be ably represented with delegations of business men. The congress has the approval of state officials almost as a body, and President Taft has done much to pro mote the work undertaken. Governor Kitchen will attend. He has already named a large delegation of Tar Heels to represent the state. The Southern Commercial Congress is headed by men w’ho arc hustlers. Through their earnest efforts the eyes of the nation are being attracted to the resources and opportunities of Dixie. Much good will follow this concert ed effort to exploit the South’s In terests. About the only dissenting voice comes from the Manufacturers’ Re cord—a fact nothing less than remark able when it is remembered that this great trade journal has always stood in the forefront of every movement which looked for the advancement of the South’s Interests. Instead of hail ing this organization as another means of exploiting Southern assets, how ever, the journal published in Balti more has done all in its power to be little and discredit the efforts of the promoters. However, one man pulling back, even though he be influential, will scarcely thwart the purposes of the organization. The News favors any organization which has for Its objects the advance ment of Southern Interests, and-conse quently wishes the Southern Commei^ cial Congress God-speed in its york. w w w w w w ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ I On 7he Funny Bone ^ The fool who used to rock the boat Is now saying “I told you so” about submarine accidents. * « • ALMOST TIME.

No one question has created so much general icterest as the propo- sl’i m lo i^.-:ue one million dollars in 1 'n !-. '1 h*'> P’is being discussed ‘P th -'r ‘»^t r« rner, in the office, a' tho Imi' wh-'^re two or three -irizfT.s ar'- 'rathrrod together a dis- ' u Fion of tho one live, vital Issue • ? ..\!I of us are endeavoring to V'l t. .. rource to pursue.

In fart, as pointed out before, a -fiorongh and fair assess ment should offer funds sufficient t») preatly reduce the demand for a big bond issue. Just how much in bonds it will be necessary to issue we are not prepared to say, for as yet no com- jjlete statement has been offered of the specific needs. “One million for Improvements” is vague, and the proposition does not appeal strongly to the thinking man unless it is shown that exactly that amount is needed, and that there is no other means of raising It save by the is- fiuanco of bonds. In the meantime, while the matter is boing threshed out, the columns of this paper are open to expressions of opinion from all sides. Any one who has studied the matter, and who has arrived at conclusions which lie believes will be of benefit to ethers In solving the problem aright should feel it his duty to make those conclusions known. Any opin ions, therefore, either for or against, are welcome. If you could have ’ Just one small wish , , ^ Wouldn’t you a&k i r To go and flsh? * * * How Willie Won the Prize. Little Willie, having only one eye, did not like to attend school. One afternoon he stayed home, and his mother sent him to the store for a loaf of bread. On the way Ijack he stopped at the school. The school ex aminers were there to award a prizo of five dollars, in gold, to the smart est boy or girl in the class. Just as Willie entered, the teacher held up one finger. Then Willie held up two fingers. This time she held up three fingers, and Willie held up his fist. She held up an apple, and Willie held up the loaf of bread. She called him to the desk and gave him the $5. The examiners enquired of the teacher why she had awarded the prize to Willie. She replied; “I held up one finger, meaning there Is one Supreme Being. He held up two, meaning the starting of the race, Adam and Eve. I held up three fingers, meaning Faith, Hope and Charity. He held up hi& fist, meaning In Unity there is Strength. I held up an apple, meaning the downfall of man. He held up the bread, meaning the Staff of Life. ThU3 I gave him the prize.” When Willie’s mother wanted to know w'faere he got the money, he re plied: “I stopped at school and the teach er held up one finger, meaning I had only one eye. I held up two fingers, meaning that I could see as much with my one eye as she with two. She held up three fingers, meaning between the two of us, we only had three eyes. This made me so mad that I shook my fist at her. She picked up an apple, and was just going to throw it at me, when I held up the loaf o£ bread. She got scared and gave me the flve dollars.”—Irene Trimm, in National Monthly. WOMEN’S SENSE OF HONOR. From Other Sanctums At the Por* of Duty. When any nliSTement looking to tem perance or good government in North Carolina is proposed, the people have learned to look with confidence to find Speaqer William Carey i^oTd tak.| his place on the firing line and to be ready to make as vigorous a dash for the Right as he made for the goal when, as a college boy, he was a fine football player. On Thursday night, when the near-, beer fight was on. Speaker Dowd w’as I on the floor to stand with Dr. Kent, Chairman Hofler and other advocates of the bill that became a law. The op- pos-ition to such measures is always most dangerous through amendments, and sometimes friends of the princi ple endanger it by ill-considered amendments, so tha. those who have matured the bill need to be alert. The result shov\'ed that the only danger was through amendments, some not bad, that might have marred the &ym- metry of a bill that able lawyers had passed upon.—News and Observer.

Ail Druggists and Dealers. “Have women a sense of htimor?” is the question which the Lokal Anzeiger addressed to a number of prominent persons apropos of a statement by Mme. Yvette Guilbert that her sex is deficient in humor. Jerome K. Jerome, whose works en joy a w^ide vogue in Germany, replies: “My observations have shown me that woman have just as sharp a sense of humor as men, but they have less un derstanding of the grotesque.” Herr Franz Lehar, composer of “The Merry Widow,” thinks “women have humor when they are among themselves and are making merry over us men.” Frau Clara Vlehlg, a celebrated Ger man novelist, says: “Women have at least enough humor not to take this question seriously.” Herr Max Bernstein, of Munich, bar rister and playwright, says: “Whether w’omen have humor or not depends on their husbands.” Fritu Rosa Bertens, leading lady of the Royal Theatre, Ber lin, says: “If we w^omen had not a sense of humor how could w^e tolerate the superiority of men?” Herr Julius Freund, a popular musi cal comedy librettist, says: “'The gro tesqueness with which the modern woman bedecks herself from head to foot establishes beyond all doubt that she overflow’s with a sense of hu mor.” Herr Leo Leipziger, author, says: “Heaven gave man humor and woman patience.”—London Dally Mail. Revolution All Over, Tela, Honduras, Feb. 4.—General Lee Christmas says the revolution is all over but the shouting. “The revolution is won,” he declar ed. “The exacuation of Pureto- Cor tez and San Pedro was better than a victory by attack. “The last stand of the government forces will be at the capital. We can surround Tegucigalpa and starve them out. There need be no more blood shed.” ► WATCH NEWS WANT AD ► PAGE ► Two names appear dally In ► the Want Columns of The ► News.
