Mr. Kerr has had charge of the

An effort is being made to have a

the people, and we learn that the
matter of a change in form of gov
ernment for this tow^n will be left to
a vote of the citizens. The same
thing should be done in the matter of
change in county government. The
people should allowed to say
whether or not they want a new

About 40 counties in North Carolina j and Greensboro last week
have laws taxing or confining dogs at |

had laws taxing or controlling dogs
before 190$. but since then there has
been a rapid increase, about 15 being
added in 1909, and about the same in
1911, and number already by the
present legislature. It seems probable
that Alamance will be added to this
list.

for the Murphy hotel of Richmond.
Mr. White missed by about three
hundred dollars, and that was a bid
against one of the big furniture con
cerns of Michigan and won on a
matter that the hotel man did not
quite understand.
In Any Case.
(From The Raleigh Times )
There is eve^y reason to bell''ve that
a suitable revenue and machinery act
can be worked out which will provide
the six months' school term and take
care of the State’s other appropriat
ions; but even if this were iiot true,
Charlotte Obseiver has the courage
to declare that in any case the Stale

Barred School From court
House.
(From The Yanceyville Messenger.)
The Board of County Commissioners
Monday refused to allow the Yancey-
ville school to hold an entertainment
•n the court house. We realize that a
building such as ours should be well j
cared for and every pre?nution should
be used for tbe safety of the same.
The court house has heretofore been
used for all kinds of entertainments,
both white and colored, such as shows,
lectures, dances, balls, etc., and while
we are not in favor of using this
building for everything that comes
; around, still we think an entertain
ment given by the children of tlie town
for the benefit of the school is the
wrong place to draw the line.

Marked Bribe Money For
Legislators.
West Virginia now has a stunning
scandal in its Legislature, where it is
charged that legislators were caught
with marked money in their possession
which it is alleged had been paid them
for their votes in the senatorial contest.
It seems that one of the legislators
had boasted that he could change the
votes of six men in the two houses for
something over $50,000, and break the
deadlock and elect a senator. With
this to work on, the prosecutor placed
detectives in the fields with the result
that five legislators were caught with
the marked money on their persons
immediately following the payment of
it into their hands.
The report of the incident is to the
effect that the total amount found was
$20,000, 515,000 of which w«nt to the
man who had been boasting that he
coulo buy and deliver six votes for
something over $50,000, the rest being
divided among four other legislators.
Prosecutor Townsend, who is behind
the exposure, declares that he believes
there is more of this venality than has
been developed, and that he iiitends to
go into every phase of it. He says
that he is going to ask the court to
empanel a special grand jury for the
purpose of handling the situation.
