The forces which have been at work for several months survey ing and grading the South Bound Railroad from Winston-Salem, has received orders to suspend all work. This comes as a thun der clap from a clear sky to Winston- Salem, Lexington, Wadesboro, and other towns through which this road was to be built. It was thought that the road would be built to the Atlantic coast, thus giving a di rect line from the coal fields to the seaboard. But the order to stop the construction work casts gloom and dismay over the hopes of those along the line. Sow to the wind and reap of the whirlwind. This is it exact ly. The Legislature which just adjourned looked upon the rail roads as the great evil of the age, the vampire that threatened destruction to the State. The railroads are worse than the niggers used to be and are rob bing the people, and they pro ceeded to legislate against them. The capital that was building the Southbound was coming from New York. New York capital ists arc not fools, neither are they insusceptible to insult and discouragement. They like to invest their money where the people appreciate it. As long as the law-making body of the State displays a hostile spirit to capital those who have the capital are not going to invest it in the State. The spirit of radicalism which was displayed in the Leg islature has frightened capital and it is not going to invest in the State till the spirit of radical ism is dispelled. The. South Bound company has already spent $250,000 on the road and the hope is that it will not abandon the idea of complet ing the road. But one thing is certain, that it will not ck it till the conservatives gain control of the Legislature in the State. Exchange. Every word of the above is true. If the Legislature of 1907 had not met it may be the South Bound would have been a cer tainty. Its construction would be worth a million dollars to the country. A high price for a leg islature. Mr. Moyer for Mayor. Mr. Editor: The time is drawing near for the election of our Aldermen and Mayor, and as one of the citizens I would like to have space in your paper to suggest the name of a man for Mayor. That is our present incumbent, Jno. H. Moyer. He has held the reins of our town government for years, knows the law and is im partial in his decisions. He treats all alike. No better man for the office could be selected. Mr. Moyer is the man we want for Mayor. Voter. MendenhallBrown. Invitations have been sent out as follows: Mrs. John A. Brown requests the honor of your presence at the marriage of her daughter Lizette to Mr. Ottis Earle Mendenhall on Wednesday, April the tenth one thousand nine hundred and reven at twelve o'clock i Grace Church, Lexington North Carolina. The North State and , Union Republican for $1.25. THE TOWN ELECTION. The board of aldermen at their last meeting called the town election to be, held on the first Monday in May. There will be an entire new registration, as the town is now divided into four wards, each ward to vote sepa rately and each ward to elect two aldermen for a term of two years. The registrars and judges i were appointed and are as fol lows: NORTH WARD. Registrar, T. J. Taylor; judges, J J. W. Sexton and T. H..Lamb.fv it J!"" iL. u.e 1x" iU1 The polling place is the court' house. EAST WARD. Registrar, D. L. Brinkleyj judges, F. O. Sink and Allan Jones. The polling place is John McCulloh's jewelry store. SOUTH WARD. Registrar, W. B. Hamner; judges, W. M. Welborn and Lee Crissman. The polling place is W. B. Hamner's harness shop. WEST WARD. Registrar, H. H. Springs; judges, R. B. Miller and J. Alexander. The polling place is Springs Hardware store. A Boy's Composition on Girls. "Gurls is what boys aint, and that ain't much. I never cared much for gurls, they are always gigling and makin' themselves silly which is easy for them. There is three kinds of gurls, dark gurls- light gurls and old maids is gurls that never had no sofas iii their house, poor old things. Gurls has made trubble ever since the wurld begun and I sup pose they will keep on making trouble until there aint no more trubble to smake. If we was all boys there would be moar fun. My sister is like all other gurls. They all have boys to call on them except old maids. Some times when my sister's boa stays a long time pa says, the young wart of a counter jumper will be living here, next, and ma says shut up now, and doant nock it all in the head; give the gurl a chanst to git a husband and pa just sniffs and then they have another scrap pa and ma. I doan no any moar about gurls and dont care. The proposition that in its early days the recent legislature was a menace, stands. Fortunately, with the . progress of time, the sober senses of the representa tives of the people came to the majority and from the laws en acted no great harm is to come to North Carolina. But'say, isn't it a commentary that the people of the State should have to con template with fear and trembling the possible enactments of legis lators elected by themselves, and hold their breath until their own Legislature has adjourned? Charlotte Observer. Charlotte Observer: ' ' Hell has broke loose in Charlotte, as well as Georgia a citizen killed a fellow-man, a Sunday School teacher has skipped with $68,000, a whiskey still was captured in the heart of the city, a bawdy house discoveredonamain street and a chicken thief arrested, all inside of a week, in the Queen City, and hit a pro-high-bition town, with a revivall in full blast. " If a man is ignorant he may possibly learn some things, but if he knows too much there is absolutely no chance for him. NO ONE RESPONSIBLE. While I do not claim that the Legislature or Board of Alder- imen are responsible for an act ithat would impose upon its citi zens the burden of paving the streets of a town or city, I do claim that the sane would be an imposition; that the only fair way to macadamize or pave its streets would be by taxatidn. To illustrate, say A. B and C . owned a block of buildings Sjay A. B. 'a property fronted 300 feet V . "-a"1 A. B. to pay $100 and let C D. go free? No, never. Then let us issue bonds for what may be necessary to do the work. In this way its citizens woul,d share the burden in proportion to the value of their property. Lets go at this from a business stand point and be fair in this matter. I speak as a man who has served on your board for two years and always tried to consider its citi zen's interest more than his own. Here is Messrs. Montcastle and Noell, who are members of your board with whom I fought for two long years for the up building of the town of Lexing ton, and there is Messrs. Nobe Walser, L. F. Weaver and Ben Robbins, who go to make up your present Board of Aldermen, all high-toned gentlemen, all of whom are public spirited men, who I am ure would not impose a burden upon their fellow citi zens. 1 here is only one way to build our streets and that is by taxation. This is the only fair way to build public highways, let it be town or country. We all admit that the work should be done, which is a stepping stone to higher civilization. Very truly, J. L. Peacock. Set Up a Howl. A young married couple :on Main street caused quite a com motion the other night and ' aroused the household, he young wife was awakened by her better half grabbing her hair and givingit a terrific pull which made it appear that he had either gone daft or had become a sec ond Blue Beard. She set up a howl and called for help. Other members of the family rushed to her rescue, but before they could take steps to release the grip the sleeping spouse had on the good wife's hair he awoke. He ex plained that he had been chasing a pig; that the pig ran in a hole and he grabbed him by the tail and was pulling with all his might to keep his pigship from escaping. It was a plausible' ex planation, but it is saidjthe vourig wife is not so sure about it being a true one. She has ben having visions of Blue Beard ever since the occurrence. Reidsville Re view. ' A Missouri legislator wants to have a law enacted to limit a woman to two hats a year. That fellow is a sensible man, butfdol lars to doughnuts he is an old sour bachelor. Very few bene dicts have the courage to propose such a radical measure. Show us that you mean business broth er, and we'll dance a jig about a costly monument to your mem ory. Easter Monday, April the 1st, I will again continue sale of Hilliard lots. Be sure to I re member this date. Everybody expected. to be there. Z- I. Walser, . Commissioner. Meeting lst'sturtyi night. " There was puite'a: large gath ering of citizens at . the , court bouse,. Saturday- night. tpV discuss the management' of ' the. business of the city. It was 'pretty hot at times. Very little seemed to be accomplished.' ? ' The" rmeeting ad j ourned .to meet again Saturday night, - March 30th. : The entire citizenship of; Lexington should attend this meeting: : The people of the city have paid very little attention to its business affairs So long as our people pay ..little regard to our welfare just 'so long will there be discord and bickerings. The ticket nomi nated should be nominated by a convention composed of all the people of Lexington. The court house should be crowded. All classes of people should leave business for a while and give afc tention to the public interests; If this is done there wiljbe. smoother sailing Our municipal interests have become great. They have become important; They should receive the careful attention and business-like meth ods of private affairs. Our in vocation to the people of Lexing ton is: Attend this meeting, express your views courageously and fully, nominate a ticket of your own choice, or hereafter keep your own mouth shut and hold your peace. Every citizen of Lexington should take an acj tive part in this meeting held for the good of Lexington. In language as strong as can be used we appealinglv call upon the people of the city to do their duty as citizens. Do not give all your time to your own business and then blame somebody else because the city affairs are not going to suit you. Roll up your sleeves and take an oar yourself. It is high time to take a hand in the administration of your home government. Nominate a clean business like ticket of strong men. Do this or quit, Let us give a little time to Greater Lex ington. A Salary Trap. Members of the legislature say they want to get all the State officers on an equal salary basis. That sounds all right from a dis tance, but when the matter is examined into you will find that the real object is to increase the salaries of the several State of ficers. The following comment on the subject is from the Industrial News: "The bill now pending in the legislature in regard to the sal aries of State officials , will, if passed, cost the State an extra thirty thousand dollars a year. This information comes from the News and 'Observer, and quote our authority for the benefit; of anyone who maywish to say that in making this statement we are 'juggling the figures.' " A Bangor woman sat up till 1 o'clock the other night waiting for her husband to come home. At last weary and worn ont with vigil, she went up stairs to re tire, only to find her husband in bed fast asleep. Instead of 'go ing down town, he had stolen up stairs and crawled into bed, which made his wife so mad she didn't speak to him for a week. -Bangor News. The legislature was mighty strong on temperance, but if yoti should ask all members who have not taken a drink since the body assembled to stand up do you suppose you wrould have nmqh trouble in counting them?
