The cily aldermen refused lo ac cept the resignation of Mr. J. C. Sikes as mayor, when it was handed to them Friday night. There i no discuxsiun. The moment the mat ler was mentioned to them, the city tamers, ;tn in air ui iiiimtii, ir- jected the thought as absitib, audi rontiuued disposing of business in hand. Whether or not the mayor will persist in his intention of resigning U not known. The resignation of Mr. Sikes was prompted by a desire to give all of his attention to his law practice. Of late the city's business has b?en t-o large that an unusual anount of ihs time was required. There has been no friction. The mayor. It is said, would not entertain the thought of resign ing if he was under Are. Mr. Sikes became a city official in 1916, when he was appointed alder- ; iiian-at-large to succeed jir. J.

Ihe Monroe chamber of commerce, and now holding a similiar position ut Dunn, is the same en thusiast. c. energetic fellow of old. While at Monroe no job was too big for hni to undertake, and I.e could exhibit more real enthusiasm over a proposition than some of those direct ly concerned. He is Just a natural booster. When his town is under discussion, he can out-talk a Phila delphia lawyer, and when he gets through the stranger who overhears him conies lo the conclusion that he halls from some big city. At Dunn he has been very success ful. The town was almost entirely destroyed b; fre befor he assumed his duties, but .,ow. accordina lo re ports, imposing buildings of brick and slone have replaced the black em bers of wood, and the town has an entirely new appearance. Finding lhat Dunn lacked houses for new comers. Mr. Riddle went lo work and organized a housing corporation, along the lines of the proposed con cern he tried to put across here, bin failed t . account ef a few of our protuini business men being unable lo s -e t ver 6 per cent return on their l ..nnenl. As a result, nearlv tweni . 't w bouses were erect ed, taking o;" -.f the surplus popu lation for ihe time being. At Ihe pi..', ,ads meet ins In Raleigh, at which Monroe out-shined them all, Mr. Riddle w is there In all his glor, talking heller roads from morning: to night. At that time lie expressed to The Journal man the 'desire to come back to Monroe some day. and spoke very highly of the people whom be had met during his slay here, "Monroe is one of the best places in Ihe country to live,'' be said.

The rtory of his efforts In this di rection is told in the Raleigh News & Observers, as follows: "Governor James M.
