There are millions of noises in the world and only one kind worth making. That's the kind a man learned about when he tried to in terview a great financier. He had spent several days trying to get into the private office of the H skinflint, but was always headed 2. At last he went to a friend for ad lice. Til tell yon what to do," said the friend. "Yon go down and stand in front of the old fellow's door and number about 74 signatures were secured. These ' were allree-hol-des,f The petition was sent -up to i3alU6ury t Monday and' after endorsement - by ' the Board of Education, the County .fcompaie sioners granted an electiorito' be held May 10. J From; the number of signers those who had the mat terrin' charge feel" muchelated and are very hopeful that it will be a snoceBS. It is to be hoped that our peo plewiH. not let this opportunity pass without showing their inter est t in l the '. younger generation . We owe a duty to our ohildreu in regard to education. Six years ago the same proposition was de feated aud it - certainly is to be hoped that the present effort will be a success. If it is not it will spell to the outsider that our citizens are satisfied with a' foor month school and do want the town to grow . We ought cot to ba satisfied nn til jwe getlheJsi possible for our children. We have now an opportunity to show where we stand. It is not a par ty question but a question of the uplift of our people. Any town with a good graded or a high school is a drawing card when people in country are seeking a place to move to on account of educating their children. SALISBURY NEWS MATTER, HAKE A NOISE t.tttk A DOLLAR. When he comes out to grab you, that Will be your chance." That s the kind of noise we should make in this town. We should sound like ready money and look like it. Nothing would bring new busi Br ss and hustling citizens quicker than a NOISE LIKE A DOLLAR. Every letter that goes out should be E advertisement for our town. If you don't know how to make a HOISE t.tkt. A DOLLAR, just call C8 us, and well try to help yon. One way is to advertise. "When everybody gets to making the right kind of noise it will be worth while watching things boom. to the iMARimtnbe an assured fact thuti we are to have cement - side oit-a in fJhina Grove. Great htaps of sand aie being placed on the streets preparatory, to com- m ncine work. The contract has u, lot tn a Salisbury man. Geo. W W V WW m w R. Martin. - No town in the state needs this wt rk worse than this one does. There are various reasons why we say this. We cannot give all o thm because it would take up too much srjace. So we will only mwntion a few. One is that in wet weather the sidewalks are miserably muddy and at times hurdly passible without getting ones shoes and clothes rumea. Another reason is that the streets are very uneven and in many Dlaces since the rpad was graded and macadamized, the sidewalks ar several feet higher than the T-r orinzatr moVi ncr it danserous to w Ik there in the dark. Some of tre cross streets are lower than th sidewalk making it difficult for mothers to roll a baby car riage across, and dangerous for anybody to cross at night- At 1; progressive towni are catch ing the spirit of improvement and there is no reason why we shourd b way back. We are as able to do these things as the people of other towns. Let us then stand shoulder to shoulder by our com missioners in this matter and' do ourselves proud by helping-them. Strangers judgejtowns by their ap pf arances. Cement sidewalks, macadam streets and a good grad ed school would make other towns sit ud and take notice of our progressive spirit. Two Houses Burned with a Loss of $1,200. Walter Poole Assaulted. One cas9 of drunk was before the county court on Thursday morning and paid $5.00 and cost into the school fund. One other case was continued to Friday. Mrs. Boone widow of the late Rev. J. B, Boone, of Henderson ville, spnt a few days recently, visiting, Mr. aDd Mrs. Hi. b &at on. at Cleveland.

Indlctnaatofthe PresWeatof till Presjed Steel Car Conpanj Is Recocaeniled. Pittsburg, i Pa. , April 6 The climax promised in the : Pittsbnrg graft exposures came, as , prom- isddt'late tc day with tbelpresent ment by . tlie - grand , jury.- of : a lengthy report in which ii recom mended the indictment of .Frank N. .Hoffstot, piesident - of . the Pressed Steel Oar Company, and one of the most prominent busi ness men in the.pountfy. ; Simultaneously in open court came a plea of Emil Winter, pres ident of. the Workingman'a Sav ings & Trust Co., that he had no defense to make to the charge that he gave a $30,000 bribe to former Councilman Morris Einstein. The following in abbreviated form are some of the. most start ling findings in the grand jury s presentment made public to- 1 That Frank N. Hcff atot, president of the Pressed Steel Car Company and president of the German National bank of Alle gheny, and prominently identified with -other banks, paid to Charles Stewart, a former select council man, the sum of $52,500. ' 2 That the money was a bribe used in influencing the votes, of council men, to pass an ordinance naming three banks' in which Hoffstot was interested as official depositories of tha.city's millions. '"8 That the arrangement for the payment of the money to Stewart was made in the. spring of 190$ and that the late James W. Friend, at that time an official of tin Pressed Steel Car Company was an associate in the transac tion. 44That the original plan which Friend had waB to obtain the services of William A . Blake ley, who was then a practicing at torney here but who is now the district attorney Tn oharge of the graft prosecutions, as a stake holder of the bribe money until the ordinance had passed. '5 That Attorney Blakeley de clined to act in the capacity uamed and warned all parties of the criminality of the proposition and of the liability to prosacution if it-went further. '6 That subsequent to Mr. Blakeley's retueal, Messrs. Friend and Hoffstot completed an ar rangemect with Stewart whereby Hoffstot would pay or cause to b paid to Stewart the sum named- $52,500. "7 mat tne transaction was arranged to be made in New York 'ity, aud took place there in June, 1908, in order, if possible, to avoid criminal liability in Alle gheny couuty. '8 " hat Hoffstot did also so licit from one James N. Young, cashier of the Second National bank of Pittsburg the sum of $21,- 000 to be paid Stewart to insure the selection of the Second Na tional bank as one of the favored city depositories. "9 That StHwart did d-mand from the now deceased Friend, who was acting as agent for the Second National bank, a bribe for Stewart's vote in favor of the bank ordinancas. "10 Tfiat in accordance with the findings, it be recommended that indictments charging con spiracy and bribery be returned." The court ordered indictments drawn against Hoffstot, in accord ance with the grand jury's pre sentment, namely on two counts f bribery and one of conspiracy tnj defraud the city. .The presentment reads that Hoffstir shall be ordered to ap pear a witnees "and -in case he iohs n'.t do so immediately, that he djfetnet attorney of Allegheny, county. proceed forthwith to extra dite him." . - The ... presentment concluded with an order that the investiga tion continue along the lines al ready pursued, which js takon to mean that more men higher-up are yet. to be named. 6eBrgeL'arptjlsSi!J ta Km OlEdfroa Baleigh,3 April - 6.--Not guilty was the verdict of ythe, jury in the caie of W.
