It is a matter for regret that the ruins of the Benbow house are st.ll st: nding, and there is nothing definite at aand in the way of news of an early oegiLn.ng of work in rebuilding it. The news is sent out to other Daoern away from this city that the on y rea son Riven for this is unprogressive nee, and it is implied that the oily is unprogttsaive. As we have remarked it is a matter for regret that nothing has been done. Bu: it would be well to deal with facta as they appear and aa they exist The hotel was burned in Jim. Tn &n amazingly short time the news waa was given to the newspapers that a lo cal firm had 4bouebV' the Dronerfcv and would bin rebuilding at onoe. TLe nw. cania i.ect, from a member of the firm. Ii s-euiid there was no reason to doubt it. We were assured we might safely print it. It -was published and the people thought it was bona fide. What then, was the use for anyone else, progressive or unprogressive, to undertake to do anithinfir with iiY I. pretty soon b- an to be talked that the property had not oeen sold, but that it was only an option. The option, it is said, expired, and was re newed. It was then given to the pa pers that a company had been formed and there was no ' flash in the pan" this time, but the thing was clinched. Again there as no doubt about it, and there was no use for Drotrresslve or unprogressive men to tear their shirts or fall over each other trying' to get the property. Thus the matter has been dragged along until now, when it is pretty well understood that nothiug has been done, and it is Btaud by implication, if not in words of direct meaning that the city is un progressive. In the meantime, there were all sort of rumors afloat, many of them too ridiculous an. 1 absurd to admit of seri ous consideration. One of them was that c aptain Fisher, owner of the property, had said that unless he was allowed to have in the hotel a bar the ruined and blackened walls might stand there as a monument to the fool ishness of the town for establishing a dispensary. Such a threat is unworthy a man of half Captain Fisher's sense, but some people believe he made it. But the imputation of "unprogres iveness" on the pxrt of the citizens of Greensboro is entirely unwarranted and unjust when it is a fact that we have all been led to believe the prop erty had been bought by men who were going to rebuild as . quick as material could be put on the ground. IT MAY BE CLEAN But it Doesn't Look It The Water Supply. For several days now the city water has been unusually muddy looking. Ordinarily, after a hard rain the water shows up muddy, but in this dry weather we are at a lots to account for it. The doctors say, "Drink the city water in preference to well water." We have long ago adopted their ad vice and followed it, but the stuff to day is nauseating to look upon. It ooks like branch water at this season of the y- ar when dry weather tups it from running. The only difference we can se is the absence of pollywogs in the city water. As we have observed, It may be clean, but it doesn't look it. And this leads us to say that we believe the source of the Greensboro water supply is inadeauate for the city's needs. We understand the i pumping station is compelled to be run nearly all the time to keep water in the tnk. However.this may be the water that is now coming through the pipes looks bad, and if it is clean and wholesome, then there is absolutely nothing in ap pearances. Death of Mr. James A. Deaton. Mr. James A Deaton died lastThurs evening at 7:30 o'clock at his home, No 905 South Brevard 6treet. Mr. Deaton was on the streets Thurs day afternoon and seemed to be in his uul health.
