GIENSBORO, N. C. TAGS TWO Guilford County Board of Education f Reminiscent ; Tbe above is a good looking pic ture of good men, these being State Superintendent of Public Instruc tion, J. T. Joyner, and tbe Guilford County Board of Education. Tbe only thing that prevents its toeing really representative is the ab sence of women In the group. It is generally understood that It Is a trong board as it is, but no one is attempting to say that it would not ibe stronger with two or three exper- SALISBURY TO CEXEBRATE. Flag Raising And Unveiling Of Boone "', Tablet. ; There is going to be something do ing In Salisbury on July Fourth. There will be a flag raising over the splendid new county court house one of the finest buildings in the state. Fraternal orders have Joined in this undertaking, and Colonel Z P. omith. now with the Industrial end of the Southern railway, and formerly editor of the Greensboro Daily News will make the welkin rine. "Zip" as his friends call him and his friends are everywhere, will nluck auout six dozen feathers from the tall of the proud bird of freedom and do oral stunts worth while. There will also be unveiled that day in the Grubbs building a tablet ' to the memory of Daniel Boone. It Is where tbe big Grubbs building now stands that we uia nowan CMintv fnnrt House stood, and was In' this old court house that Daniel Boone planned his expedition Into Kentucky. Tha aneakora nf the Occasion will be Hon. Locke Craig, Dr. Archibald Henderson, who will make the his torical address; Mrs. William . Vwinlih tnt resent of the D. A.

Gregory, regent or cuizaoein Maxwell Steele Chapter, and Judge ' F. I. Osborne, who will make an ad dress on the history of Rowan. Misses Mary Curtis and Elizabeth Henderson, Master Richard Hender. son and Lee Overman Gregory will nnaall ha tfihlAt- With these two Interesting fea tures of a programme containing many other minor entertainments . RallBbnrr will certainly have a Fourth of July worth while. Reids- viiia ia tn hnvA. Rrvan and Greens boro is to have the biggest doings at the Battle Ground ever pulled off. In the language of a statesman and patriot long since In Glory let us exclaim, "Hurrah for the Fourth of July." -. . ' O- ' ' Judge Speer Wins. After all the investigating; after all the talk; after all the expense, it lma Teen decided that all the things Judge Speer did do not con ' stltute high crimes and misdemean ors. The Congressional Investigation will and In fnam. In Macon this news will displease many of Judge Speer's neignDors. They do not like the Judge because they say he struts sitting down. But ' when you come to impeach a man, charge him with unlawful things and send him out in the world marked and branded it is something differ ent than "they say." "They say" is a dirty old girl a sore-faced and ugly old hag a whis pering, lying, scandal talking thing that sbould be suppressed. "They say" Is guilty of more heart aches than all the other intangible creatures in the world. "They say" has standing, however, in all places of decency and "they say" when they didn't say it. o .,; Shoot The Dogs. Greensboro Is going to muzzle the dogs, but they all should be shot at sun-rise. The Anti-Saloon League should get active and pass a bill to kill all the dogs in North Carolina. They are in collusion with Satan and are doubtless employed by the whole sale likker dealers who get their stuff by moonshine. If you don't be- ' lieve it, read this news item coming out of Raleigh: j - "A faithful pet dog, Just an or dinary hound, saved two unknown negro ilicit distillers from being cap- tured early yesterday morning by revenue officers and although the still was destroyed they are now at liberty. The hound treed Deputy Collector J. P. Stell. gave several sounds of warning and its master fumtt&ed the sequel with a sprint that quickly outdistanced four pur suers. The hound's warning and the negro's speed more than made good. The still was . located on a small stream about six miles, southeast of Holly Springs and about three-quarters of a mile from the Harnett county line. From evidence It had been In operation several months." O '. Right Away.1 :-.::. Davie street and Summit avenue will be paved right away. This is i Photographed bjr Kustler's Stuillo. lenced women to assist the several experienced men in putting Guilford county on the map educationally, ae In other things. Those who read the stars are pre dieting that it will not be long untl we have women on state and county school boards after they have prov. en their efficiency as district com' mltteemen. Superintendent Foust declares that they have been a surcess, and we look for all we could ask for in this re gard in the near future. TO INVESTIGATE. The Attorney General To Look In Railroad Deal. The Attorney General wants more Information concerning the Cape Fear and Yadkin Valley railroad deal. That road was absorbed by the Southern and Atlantic Coast line. Competition, it is claimed was destroyed and this was in violation of the Sherman anti-trust law. Hon. A. U Brooks has lnvestigat ed the matter. The Attorney Geir eral of North Carolina has helped him and prepared a brief and sen it on to Washington. Washington now proposes to Investigate. Red Buck Bryant in the Charlotte Observer says the Department of Justice does not think much of the case. Parker Anderson says an as sistant has been put on the job and will go to the bottom of it. If the case is won Mr. Brooks will please come down to our office and select any and ' all the feathers he wants to wear in his cap. : O '' ' ' .. . TEDDY SAYS NAY. Plnchot Geta A Bark Handed Re buke From Colonel. Amos Plnchot has said all along that George W. Perkins must get out of the Bull Moose party. Teddy has come home from Spain and says Perkins will remain, that he has been the most valuable member ot tbe party. Perkins has the swag and Teddy has the hot air. Plnchot hasn't anything but a hope of re ward. This will perhaps cause a family quarrel. But Teddy should not for get that it was Plnchot who got him in the frame of mind to desert the party that had made him all he was. Perkins of course greased the wheels. rj Dry In Washington, Senator Works of California has proposed a bill making Washington City absolutely dry. Not allow drop of likker to be sold. Think of that! , - . -o ; The Press Association. The North Carolina Press Associa tion met at Wrightsvllle this week and from all accounts drifting in the pencil pushers had a very lively time. Attorney General Bickett dis cussed the constitutional amend' ments proposed and perhaps the ed! tors present will know something about what we are to vote for. The fact that the Attorney Gen eral had to enlighten the editors in a public speech concerning these amendments shows how little the average voter knows about them The average voter never asked for any amendments; never needed any, and dosn't need them now. The lawyers think that to change might mean something new. North Caro lina should not put on nine or ten amendments to her constitution. The people here have enough to get along with. Better put on one amendment at a time discuss it intelligently; understand it and vote for it. That is the way we got prohibition. This job lot of amendments should be turned down. If the editors who read the papers all the time and write for other people s instruction had to listen to tbe Attorney Gen eral to tell them what they were the average voter if he knows when he Is well oft will simply vote for none of them. This is a logical proposition. . O '. The Dynamiters Must Serve. President Wilson refuses to par don the bunch of dynamiters and they must go to prison. Certainly. There could be no excuse for par doning them. The prisoners should be thankful their sentences are so light. , ; . o Women As Financiers. Miss Jessamine G. ' Hoagland's phenomenal success in Chicago's fin ancial world has won for her the com plete charge of the savings depart ment of the National City Bank. Miss Hoagland formerly was In charge of the woman's department of the Continental & Commercial. She has progressed in ten years from the lowest paid clerk's position to her present office'. "Love for. the business and hard work did It," was Miss Hoagland's modest reply to a friend's remark that few men reach the same posi tion at her age. . In th's Department the Old Man write passing fancies maybe recalling; happen ing! forty yean ago mnjh something of only a few months. All people live either Id the pint or the future. It la what you did yesterday or what yon will do tomorrow. Never what you are doing now. This department Is conducted sim ply to tukr care of those pleasant things that happened as we walkca along tbe road tint Is now grass grown and Indis tinct the road over which we will never walk vnln. Hhootlng Out The Lights. I took a little dip Into the Third District convention, because it was refreshing. I wrote a letter to the New Bern Journal and asked some questions and got some answers. The Third District Convention was a dis grace to civilization. There is no doubt about that, and the party should not stand for it. But it pos sibly will. I one time attended a convention In the west and the bal lot box was conveniently filled with tickets for the other fellow, and when the vote was announced there were about twenty-seven more votes than people present and this called to an explanation. In those days the west was rather wild and woolly, and I recall that Jack. Collins arost to a question of personal privilege, as he called it, and he recited a few running lines of blank verse interlin ed with profane specifying adjectives and pulled his gun. The lights in the court house were shot to pieces; the crowd dispersed and a few fights occured and the gentleman nominated for the state senate went to the capital and dur ing the session had himself written up, telling how popular he was at home; how much majority he recew ed. and to have read the prunes tht penny-a-liner doped out you woula have thought him the biggest mad In the two counties be misrepresent ed. And the Goldsboro affair was shameful. It seems that the crowo. was absolutely armed for the occ sion and those who went to the hos pital expected better treatment. If the republicans do not make some hay in that district it will be because Mr. Thomas is a better patriot than politician. . Kicking The Barrel. I see where Tom Bost, of the News and Observer, tells how he was too late to get Into the death chamber to see Sid Finger electrocuted, and how he hung on to the iron shutters and witnessed the departure from the outside. This was getting the news but I never want to see a fel low being passed out of the world, I one time saw three horse thieves hanged at Sidney,, Nebraska, when that was a cowboy town, and I will never forget how they went about It There was a yard arm nailed to a telegraph pole and three barrels were put on the ground, and on these barrels the prisoners stood. . They had nothing much to say. One of them denied his guilt, the other two confessed and were glad of it and at a signal from one of them they all kicked the barrels out from un der their feet and were dangling In the air. They presented a eight to my eyes that I can see yetand It is still repulsive. The coolness of these men instead of waiting for the mob which was orderly be cause Judge Lynch was orderly in those early days to remove the bar rels, these dare devils kicked their own barrels and went to glory. Always Orderly I attended a court once in Dead- wood In the early days presided over by Judge Lynch, and the order, the solemnity of the occasion was worth the study of some of our judges these days. The man chosen to act as Judge Lynch was a conscientious man. He gave the prisoner every opportunity and the jury was pains taking. .But they found the prisoner guilty and they hanged him, but it was a scene as solemn as a funeral. No shooting; no burning; no laugh ter but a calm, judicial proceed ing. : There were no courts and the men had to protect themselves and Judge Lynch, I am here to tell you, kept better order in the wild west than the legalized courts keep today.- But just why Tom Bost wanted to hang on an Iron shutter to see a man take his departure for Glory is more than I can understand unless It was an assignment that he couldn't dodge. r- O- The Primary Plan. The proposal for, a state wide primary means death to popular rep resentative government. It means that the political trick sters can in May or June put out their men and have a handful of vot ers go to the primaries and then in the fall when people get ready to take their medicine the "nominee" must be elected. No chance to run any other man; no chance for the people to be heard. Everything hopes that all its read ers will study this scheme and keep away from it. Don't accept what we say but sit down and see how transparent tbe proposed job is. It is a politicians scheme the hope for the outs to get in. 1 COOLING - REFRESHING - STIMULATING A delightful flavor all its own. In iced bottles 5c LOOK FOR THE Battle! j CHE20-CCLA THE PRIMARY. ' rhe Stat Wide) Primary A Scheme Of The Politicians. We have written against the state wide primary plan and insisted thai It was a scheme of the politicians. We still insist, and shall Insist, and after It becomes a law, If our peo ple are blind enough to let It become a law, they will see that we were not off the trolley in our caution. Perhaps the best presentation of the case yet appearing In the state is the following from the Hickory Times-Mercury which plainly and forcefully tells Just what will hap pen. Read this, digest It, think about It, and when you have oppoav tunlty vote against the attempt to put a Machine on the people: "Such a law will suit little schem ing politicians; those who can furn ish the price and have time to meet In night, secret caucuses and devise plane while honest people, laborers, etc., are asleep, resting from their labors. These schemers will actual ly run and control primaries. They can and will resort to anything. They will have nothing to fear, as it binds all who vote in the primary to vote for the nominees in the general elec tion, or not vote at all. Besides, it prevents Independent candidates from running and applying the in itiative and referendum on them. "Independent candidates and vot ers are the only weapons of protec tion the people have against schem ers who run primaries and conven tions, and to keep them from or ganizing a political machine and set ting up an oligarchy In tbe nation, State or city a ' self perpetuating government. "We believe in parties, not party. They are necessary. But when the) turn to a heartless machine, and try to run rough shod over the will and Interests of the people, then we be lieve that justice should have the right to produce some man with the nerve to run independent so that freemen can vote as their awakenea consciencles lead. "This is what the scheming poli ticians fear. They want an early primary, fixed so that voters before they know the Issues, will go and vote in the primary and thus bind themselves soul and body to support the party and take what Is handed them, and ask no questions. In short, want the folks to sell their po litical liberty for the privilege of voting In a primary, the end of which only the devil knows. "The people better retain what lit tle liberty they have left, that Is, to vote as and for whom they please. All governments would be safer and more satisfactory if voters could ex ercise their better judgment -on the eve of, or even on the day of elec tion." .. o AT LAST. The People Of Greensboro Happy At All other troubles have been Bet at rest. The happiness of Greensboro is complete. While It is tr,ue we owe a million of dollars; while It Is true we can't get the streets we ought to have; while we haven't school room for the children; while we are lack ing in depot' 'facilities and, well while many things might be needed to complete the thing the Commis sioners have passed a hurry up or dinance saying - that dogs must ap pear on the streets muzzled, if not with their owners tied to a rope or chain. ' : A muzzled dog is the dog that is liable to become ill because the muz zled dog cannot drink water. Those who cherish the Idea that there is such a thing as hydrophobia will feel better to know that mad dogs cannot bite their children. The fear of hydrophobia is something intense, and yet no one has ever died in this section because of a dog bite. Funny thing, about how we are so easily taken off our feet. There have been dozens of people killed In Guilford County murdered. There are burglars prowling night aftei night and a burglar is supposed to be a murderer. Crazy people appear and cut up and shoot' up homes and public places and we don't muzzle tbe men or we don't worry. But let a dog with a little almond cream on bis face, enough to look like froth or foam go galloping down the street and a dozen men yell mad dog and the town thrills with fear. It catcher the dog and sends the head down to Raleigh and a scientific man tells you all about it. ;. It is to laugh. But we are glad the Commissioners passed this law because it will make Colonel Joe Reece feel much easier. , -o The Litis Bosses. - Editor Beasley is reported in the esteemed News as saying at the Press convention that one can see tne big bosses behind the little bosses. Rats! Beasley wanted to go to Congress. The people didn't want him he is a single tax advocate and of course he sees bosses. And yet he goes about telling what should be done as though he thought him self a boss, too. But he isn't. , OPIUM, WJM and all DRUG HABITS, ALCOHOLISM Yield to nf treatment.
