LAST NIGHT'S DISCUSSION OF THE BOND ISSUE. Tbe masa meeting at the court house last Dight for the purpose of a free discussion of 'the' burning question, Shall we stand still or go backward, or shall vei forge upward and" on ward, a report of which appears Id our news columns today, could hardly have been a more representative gath ering of the awakened and determined citizenship of this municipality. The speakers showed by their happy, un restrained remarks that all ere as a unit for the grand forge of Greensboro to the front of the cities of North Car olina. No note of disc rd was sound ed, and such a veritable love feast such an unheard of absence of jar or note of discord speaks volumes for the future of our beloved city. Ihe sentimr nt that pervades the en tire city, we believe, was there, and the speakers, such me-i as Mayor Tay lor, Dr. Mclver, Judge Bynum, Ser geant, Brooks, Settle, and many oth ers only expressed the intense awak ening that is destined to place Greens boro in the position which belongs to her the leader of the cities of North Carolina. The bonds must be voted. Wecannot afford to let defeat come to the move ment. Our growing importance de mands it. The ball, already rolling with gathering momentum, must be kept flying. We must have better streets. We must have a water supply that will insure us protection against fire. We must have a sewerage that will insure us against the ravages of disease. There is no other course for Greensboro to pursue but to issue these bonds. We have reached the parting of the ways we must grafp the salvation that bends to our reach. And it bahooves every man who has the best interest of the city, the best interest of his own property, at heart to turn out on next Tuesday, July 18, and do ali in his power, exhaust all his intluence for the carrying of the election. j The reason of the question is appar ent. It has been thoroughly discuss id. We can jncver get these things for which $300,000 of bonds have been asked, by taxation. The tax limit has already been reached. But by the issuance of bonds, we will only have the interest to pay on same, which will be far lesi than tho annual amount we are compelled to pay for a tempo rary keeping up of our muddy streets, for our Inadequate sewerage system, for poor lighting, and for our vastly insufficient water supply, whfch is a constant menace to the property of every 'citizen in case of fire. We are the seat of learning we are the Athens of North Carolina. We are the railroad center why shouldn't we be the Atlanta of North Carolina? We are the typical North Carolina city; as Dr. Mclver said last night, Charlotte is no$ nearly so Carolinian as Greensboro, she is half South Carolina, hr people are not nearly so native as Greensboro's, etc., why shouldn't -e lead the Old North State in everything ? And we will. The bonds must be vofr d ! With much regret and sympathy we notice that Mr. H. E. C. Bryant, the interesting and clever correspondent of the Charlotte Observer, is suffering with another attack of appendicitis and that an operation will have to be performed. We hope sincerely that he may survive the knife. ROADBUILDERS' INSTITUTE The Roadbulldera' Institute is in session at Charlotte. Much interest is manifested by the delegates, and we are sure that the meeting will result in much good to the state by arousing other counties than Mecklenburg to the importance of an improvement of their highways. We reproduce the following extracts from the Observer's report of yester day's meeting, among which is a moat Uteresting account of the- manner of building, the cost, etc., of the Meek lenbrifg" coufcty roads, Which Guilford people should certainly read: Mr. C A. Sprntt, road ensrineer said that the Mecklenburg road sys tem was a combination of 4be Telford and macadam systems; that six, Inches of stones four inches In diameter were put down and rolled vfor bo bed and4 two inches of cru&bed stone were put over this bed and -rolled again, ana that all this was covered with a top dressing of diie inch of dust, making nine inches in all. The average cost of the roads of - this county, he 6aid, had been about $2,500 a mile; that so far sixty-nine miles of road had been built; that no grade was made st epcr than four per cent.; that about twelve miles of road were now built every year; that stone for road building cost forty cents a square yard; that the ma cadam trick should be twelve feet, not nine, as that width pi track lasted longer and was better in every way. Mr. D. P. Hutchison said that the road authoritUs of Charlotte town ship ouilt no roads; that they only re paired those already built. He said that the cost of repairing the macadam roads was $66 annually, due largely to the use of narrow tires on .vehicles. He thought the county had paid $2,000 a year for the privilege of using nar row tires. He also referred to the provision in some road laws which gave people the privilege of working out their road tax and said that that provision had not worked well here as it put unskilled labor on the roads. Mr. D. A. Tompkins" spoke of the benefits of good roads. He said that all men were bent on attaining health, wraith and happiness, or, in short, prosperity; and that while a great many factors entered into the question of prosperity, the item of transporta tion was perhaps the most important Manufacturing, it was said, insists on easy mcaBS of communication in order to get raw material and food products at lowest figures. If there are bad roads and farmers cannot supply the workingmen with what they want then the railroads will, thus catting off the farmer's home market, though he is only a few miles away with an almost impassable road between himself and the manufacturing plant. The speaker emphasized the oppor tunity for social intercourse between country people aud town people which would be the outcome of better roads, as well as the home market. The ques tion of increased land values as tbe result of better roads was considered by Mr. Tompkins, and it was assert ed that land values would double with out the aid of manufacturing enter prises, while, if such enterprises were near, tho9e values would be likely to triple themselves and go even be yond that. Capt. H. D. Stowe said he had never beard a Mecklenburg man grumble about payirg road tax. He thought it hard to say whether farmers, mer chants or manufacturers derived most benefit from goodroads. He told about a poor woman ten 'miles from Charlotte who was now making a liv ing conducting a small dairy, which would have been impossible in the days of dirt roads. He told, too, of numerous other small industries that had grown up as a result of good roads, and said he had counted nine teen wood wagons pass hishousescven miles from Charlotte in the winter time, all hauling wood to tbe city. He eh sed his remarks by emphasizing the fact that it was much cheaper to feed convicts on the roads than it was to keep them in the connty jails. Greensboro is represented by Prof. J. M. Bandy, city managerofro ds, and W. C. Boren, chairman county com missioners. No Cure No Pay. That is the way all druggists sell Grove'sTastelessChillTonic forChills and Malaria.

C, July 12, 1899.-- Tfae bearing of the charges of dTscr!m- ination,brought by the -Bureau: of Frteight and. Trans porta' Ion against the various railway lines connecting Charleston, Norfolk, and Wilming ton, Involves about forty road. MUch interest is manifested in-the hearing by railroad menf e8pecially those representing roads running through Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina. When the hearing was resumed yesterday morning there were present in the rooms of the Intei state Commerce Commission a number of railroad n.en, including Messrs. H W. Glover, traffic manager of the Sea board Air Line, with headquarters at Norfolk, Mr. Culp, Mr. Emerson, and others-equally well known in railway circles. Mr. J. P. K Bryan, who is conduct ing the case for the complain nts on behalf of the Charleston people, is pre s cuting the case vigorously, being aided by John A. Smith, who, as president of tbe Bureau 6f Freight and Transportation, represents the complainants. Both of the gentlemen are doing the'r best to get lower rates for the South Atlantic Seaboard, and to convince the Inter-State Commerce Commissioners that the defendant rail roads are violating the provisions of the Inter-State Commerce law. Th. attorneys for the compla'nants have experienced much difficulty in ascer taining facts as to how the rates to the South Atlantic ports were mae, and all the questioning thus far has failed to bring out any satisfactory ex plana tlon as to how It happens that Norfolk is favored with "better rates than the South Atlantic ports. Most of the witnesses have tried to explain it upon the ground of commercial advantages held by Norfolk, and its competition with Baltimore and northern por'.s. The hearing is before Commissioners Cleo ents, Prouty, and Calhoun, who are taking much Interest In the case, frequently asking questions of the wit nesses to bring out. point of value. Senators Daniel and Martin, a dthe representatives from Virginia who came to Washingt n Monday for the president regarding the army appoint' ments, were much pleased with their interview with the chief executive. The president informed them that be would try to make as fair a distribution of commissions as possible. At present Virginia can only receive a captaincy and two lieutenancies, but it is likely that other appointments will come later on. It is reported that from Virginia there are a thousand appli cations for these appointments. From other southern states the numb- r of applications is almost as great. It is reported In Washington that Senator Martin has stated that bo does nt believe Gov. Tyler will oppose him for t e senatorship from Virginia, or that the governor will be drawn into the contest in any way. Virginia people say the governor is very popu lar, -bvt under the present circura atauees they hardly think that he could make a successful race for the eenate against Senator Martin. The bel'ef is here that the time for successful op position to the present senator has passed , and that the s ;nators re-elected is now a foragone conclusion. United States Marshal Treat was one of the prominent visitors the other day. He is here in the i uteres, of fourth-class postoffices remaining to be filled. Ct 1. Treat has been recog nized in making these appointments, being a sort of referee. 'J he republi cans from Virginia say that but few offices remain to be filled. Ex Senator Joe Blackburn, of Ken tucky, who Ib In the city, Is of the opinion that Goebel will be ekcied governor of Kentucky. He says that there Is some dissatisfaction among democrats, but that he will have twenty thousand majority. He also says that the legislature will be democratic, which will insure his cwn election to the senate" to succeed Senator Lindsay. Mr. and Mrs J. L. M. Curry, of this city, and Miss Alys Connelly, of Asheviile, N. C, it is reported have taken a cottage at Narragansett Pier for the season. Rev. J. E. Thacker, of Alexandria, Va., left Mo'hday for a trip to the mountains of North Carolina where he will spend his summer vacation. . Postmasters have been commis sioned in North Carolina as follows: James P. Cockerman, Benham, and Thomas F. Floyd, Sue. Mrs. W. M.
