J ... -V The News Estab. Sept. 18, 1913- (THE TIMES CONSOLIDATED WITH THE NEWS NOVEMBER 1, 1313.) The Times Estab. Sept. 1912 VOLUME 1 NUMBER 13 CREEDMOOR, NORTH CAROLINA, DECEMBER 11, 1913. VOLU..E2 NUMBER 13 SOME OBSERVATIONS ON STATE AEFAIRS 'I'd Tli e Editor: I for one cannot understand why it is that with high rate of valuation on property, and the high rate of taxation, that our grand old state of which we all boast and claim to be the banner state is so badly involv ed, and evcjy now and then there is to be a bond issue to meet current expenses. Evidently there is graft some where or extremely bad man agement. The cost to run the state govern ment is too great and while the governor is appointing commission ers to investigate different things I think it would be well for him to appoint a good honest man to make a careful inspection of all the state institutions. I think this would be money well spent for the taxpayers of the state. If I had the appoint ing power I would name Chief Jus tice Walter Clark of Raleigh. He knows there is something wrong somewhere and he has the honor and candor to allude to it occasion ally. If it was in his power he would goto the very bottom of the mudsills and bring it to the surface. Hy the way, what a pity he was not elected to the United States Senate, lie would have rendered more real service to North Carolina than any other man in the state. Among other things he would have stopped the heavy drain that has been upon her during the last 47 years and turned some of that money into her channels instead of her treasury be ing empty, it would have been filled to overflowing with money that rightly belong "o her. But some little bigot, with more brass than brains will hop up and say that the south is too proud to accept yankee money. It is not yan kee money. It is our money and I think it high time some of it was coming our way. The north is in favor of the government pensioning southern soldiers, and if our con gressmen and senators had done their duty and looked after their in terests half as close as they have their own salary, it would have been done long ago. "It is said that if President McKinley had lived he would have recommended it in his message to congress. Surely Mc Kinley. who was a northern man, would not do more for the south than Woodrow Wilson who claims to have southern blood in his veins. Some of our people make a big ado over an old soldier w hen he dies and with each rec urring springtime they meet and strew (low ers on their graves and laud hem to the skies. This is commendable but not con sistent. A little substantial aid while thev are living will be worth more than all the flowers on their grave a'ter they are dead. Whv as good and temperate, and as economic man as Mr. W. J. Br an, who has only a small family, says that lie aimot live on $12,000 a year, and is forced to leave his post of duly, and go out and le ture to help support his family. 1 grant that a man occupying his position would reiptiie a great deal more to live on than the ordinary nian,Jut then there is a vast difference li' tween 1,000 per month and $2. 5b per month. I wonder what GenerW als Lee, lackson and Johnsto would think if it was possible for them to come back and se e what provision this government is mak ing for what the, the generals, said were the most daring and heroic soldiers the wot Id ever knew, at is a shame and a -scandal to any civil ized country. Even the heathens would blush to be guilty of such base ingratitude. If lip set vice could be turned into cash the old veteran would be amptly provided for. It is stange how much more beloved and popular people are dead than when living. J. 1 1. ROGERS, Creed moor, X C, Iec. 7, 1913. 'SANTA-CUDS.

Asheville is threatened with a milk famine. President II. L. Nettles, of the Buncombe County Dairymen's As sociation, which is fighting the city tax of $1 per head 011 all dairy cat tle, announced yesterday that the organization has made arrange ments with Columbia creamery for the sale of milk and cream and he states that if the dairymen lost the test case now before the State Su preme court, products will be sold only on the prescriptions of physi cians to invalids and parents whose children must have milk. A similar threat was made last, summer, al though it was not put inco execution when the city agreed to hold up the collection of the tax until the set tlement of the test case. In the first bout, held in the Superior court recently, the city won, the decision of Judge Frank Carter being to the effect that the tax is legal. The dairymen declare that their threat is no bluff and that every dairyman in the county has agreed to bring on the famine if the city persists in the collection of the tax. The dairymen contend that the tax is too high and that in that it is lev ied for the benefit ot the milk buy ing public, the residents of Asheville rather than the dealers in milk, should pay for the maintenance of the department of health bureau de voted to the examining of milk, cat tle and dairy barns. The city holds that the tax is not excessive and that it has a right to make a levy on all firms doing business within the city limits, regardless of the loca tion of their plants. FELL FROM TRAIN AND RECEIVED BROKEN LEG , Mr. Jesse - Kingr-wAo . went to Richmond 011 the special train Thanksgiving Day, happened to a very painful accident 011 the return trip early Friday morning. It is supposed that he accidentally fell off the train while h was running at a lively rate of speed, near Burk ville, Va. He suffered a broken leg, and was otherwise bruised and badly worsted from lying on the ground four or five hours. It is claimed that the train crew knew nothing about Mr. Ring leaving t he train until Durh 1111 was reached. Mr. King was found on the track by riseis and given attention lie was brought to Durham that night and carried to for treatment. W e getting on as we!

CHARGES PREFERRED HAMMER Washington, Dee. 5. The loiiy heralded charges against W. C. Hammer, who has been recommend ed for district attorney for Western North Carolina have been filed with the Department of Justice and Mr. Hammer will probably come In Washingl n soon to answer them. The charges, however, aeeordiug to Senator Overman, are nothing more than the allegation that he mixed with the post office light in Asheboio, a purely local matter, and that he is not a fit person to be LTnited States district attorney on account of this alleged interference. The proceeding -s more in the na ture of a protest than a charge, the charge stafngthat in the postoftiee fight Mr. Hammer was instrument al in unearthing an alleged scandal wire h had been buried some years ago. Senator Overman said that there is nothing in the protest re flecting 011 Mr. Hammer's charac ter, but ratlu-rthat I he writer states that Mr. Hammer attempts to doni mate local politics aid should not be given the place to which he has been recommended. The body of Capl. Henry Edge, who was dr-iwm-d November 14, wnen mc steamer 1. w. J.von was burned on the Cape Fear river, 2c miles above Wilmington, was fourd last Thursday morning by Capt. Stirling Singleton, of the tug Gray- ling. a ne ootiv was uoanng in tile river about three miles below where the drow ning occurred. GENERAL JULIAN S. fARR FCR OUR NEXT GOVERNOR The News and Observer of Ral eigh carried the following interest ing interview of Mr. S. C. Brawlev of Durham, in its columns last Fri day, and it will be of interest to many of our readers Durham citizens will ask General Julian S. Carr to allow them to car ry his name to the next Democrat ic convention as its nominee for Governor of North Carolina. Sumter C. Brawley, several years airman of the Democratic execu tive committee of Durham, and Durham's representative in the low er house, was in the city last night. When asked what about a rumor that came here a day or two ago rel ative to General Cars's possible en try into the race, Mr. Brawley said: " The rumor will be a reality if General Carr consents to allow his friends to present his name. I be lieve such consent would result in everybody's voluntarily stepping a- side to allow this long unrewarded and distinguished citizen of North Carolina to be made its Governor without opposition. "These who will more than likejy make the race are able, young and strong. But they are young and a wait of four years would do good rather than harm. General Carr could be nominated without oppo sition and it would be a fitting cli max to a career which has been marked for its publie service with reward for that service marked for its absence. "General Carr, so far as I know, is yet unaware that outside his home town there are many prominent men who feel about this just as we do. All over North Carolina ' there are people who long ago made up their minds that if General Carr is ever is ever in position to be voted for by them, they will do it. . I believe if his friends will press his claims, he will consent to run. "I know he is not seejeing the of fice. But he has never declined one w hen he could do Vou remember three a service, years ago when we nominated him for the lower house. There was nothing in the legislature that could helphim. He was taken from his vast business interests and his service in the house necessitated his employment of a special secretary to do this work, but he went. "Julian S. Carr in the Governor's office would bring back to it the fast receding old south of fine hospitali ty and Democratic simplicity, be cause he was a Confederate soldier. It would be one of the last opportu nities for the present generation to see the old way of do ng things. "But it is not for these reasons that we are urging him to run, but because his services have been so unselfish and so great. He cannot plead tiiese lest somebody impeach his modesty, but we can. The schools and churches all over North Cii-olina testily to his generosity to 1 hem. The University and Trinity, the denominational schools of all faiths and the fraternal organiza tions of the state, have felt his gen erous gifts whenevet there was a need to be supplied. " The Democratic party has fotind him its largest contributor to its funds when funds were the hardest things to get and campaign expen ses raised with great diliculty. These free will offerings have made him pre-eminent among the philanthro pists of North Carolina and he has not had his reward. 'As a business man he has given employment to countless thousands and in the business side he has been one of the very leaders in all wel fare work and social uplift. North Carolina has not had a business Governor in many years. She has an opportunity now to nominate and elect one of the biggest ones in the southland. "I believe that the very sugges tion of this movement in your paper will start'a Carr movement that can not be stopped and that nobody, who holds in his mind his great ser vices to the State will oppose .him if he is willing to make the race." Mr. Brawley declares that he has found many friends who will' be glad to make a personal, canvass of the State in interest of General Carr. . Miss Martha Daniel of Virgilina is visiting relatives and friends in town for a few days, .
