XoVlS HOMO PKEsEXTS IS WITH AXOTIIKIt I'KOIII.EM Htm Many FcH In Thorn Hush? Cminty surveyor Secre! Says It Can IU Worked. To the Editor Of The Journal- I aia sorry to see some of our teach ers quarrelling with Mrs. Funderbiiik on t lie salary question. Mrs. Funder burk is a lady of very high ideals, it seems, and wriies entertainingly. I am always glad to see an article over her signature, .Vow. I am not a teacher, and of course have a very meager eoncep- uon oi tne trials and tribulations of tne teaching fraternity: but it's niv oplonon that Mrs. Funderburk is on tne right angle on this salary Ques tion. It may be unfortunate that she began ou the teachers, but that a be ginning must be made somewhere is inevitable. Salaries, taken all togeth er, are too high already. They have oeen made so in an effort to match rising prices, and the urocess has about run Its course and while doing so has proven that It's a wrong course. Salary raising must ston some where, and it seems to me that the line is fully ripe for stopping It at this station. What we need Is not more wages for workers but less pro fits for shirkers. There is too much profit being made, and until that Is put a slop to wages, no difference how high they may be raised, will not buy enough to support in decency the workers. We know a man who paid $1.00 for a pair of plow lines (cotton ones) the other day, and the clerk's excuse for charging so much for 'em was "The man who made 'em was getting five Hollar Hays, Friday and Saturday dollars a day for his work." See how of last week drew quite a crowd to town, i!n only thing lo mar the suc cess of the occasion being the terri lie Houston, in Georgetown, Texas, last Kridav. Alter effect of a severe attack of influenza was the cause of Ills death. The remains were hurled at College Mound, Texaa. beside the sister of i he deceased, Mrs. H. Ct. Coon. Mr. Houston was about 63 yearn of age, The desire to own an automobile l-.ux gotten I.ee Carter, colored, ot Goose Creek township, in serious trouble. On March 23 he bought a second-hand car from the Secrest Mo tor Company, giving in part payment a mortgage on team of mules and a wagon. A few days later this com pany discovered that Lee owned no mules, and he was promptly inuiciea on a charge of false pretense. At his hearing Saturday before Esq. M. L. Flow, Carter was bound over to the next lerm of Superior court under a $100 bond. JOIIX .1. I'AKKEK IXVITFD TO SPEAK AT UNIVERSITY lU'pnhluun Candidate For (inventor.
