We fear our friend
in Wilmington hasn't

The city officials have already had
estimates and plans made for screen
Ing the reservoir at the power plant,
It is to be hoped that they will be
obe to devise the ways and meim
for getting the necessary fund? to
do the work, which they say vi;l
cost about $1,000 without much de

Winston-Salem has found it necea
sary to increase its City tax rate from
1.00 to $1.20 in order to meet the ex
penses of the growing city. Fortun
ately there is virtually an offset in
the total taxes to be pad by the citi
ens of the township in that a short
time ago the railroad tax was rcduc
ed from 20 cents to 2 cents.
Jailer Bilvln, over in Durham,

other of the liuor organs of the Old
Dominion to come, down to his town

and take a picture oi his lone pris

for that kind of "scenery" and ve
would suggest that the picture be
made at the expense of public funds
and sent to an organ of trie white

This is the home stretch for the
small boy, the very last week, befort
that stubbed toe will nave to he en-
cased in a pair of new shoes. The
discomfort of the too will be but in

though, because the rnOsphrre and
all the environment of the school room

of things, until he is again tamed

AN OUTRAGE

Thirty-tive thousand, wounded Aus
trian s and Russians left on the bnt-

the inhumanities of war. Think of
the suffering of some cf the' poor fel

gathered at the Raleigh Auditorium
for their exercises. The city schools
all joined in the parade and the sight
was a most imposing one. Many cf
the classes made extra preparation
and showed the benefit of special
training for the occasion. Kington
will be glad to welcome the boys
and girls from every nook and cor

ELIMINATE
GRADE CROSSINGS
Engineer Glenn of the Southern
Railway, makes a plea for caution
on the part of automobilists and
drivers of other conveyances at rail
road crossings, saying that it fre
quently happens that his train mis
ses killing a party of them just by
"the skin of his teeth" and all be
cause these people are reckless and
fail to take the little necessary pre
caution to "stop, look and listen" be
fore crossing a track. The wonder
is not that there are so many grade
crossing accents, but that there are
so few, when the utter disregard of
care is taken into consideration. Eut
then the grade crossing must go. If
a man will not take care of himself it
is hard to know how to make him do
so, and the railroads will find out
sooner or later that it will pay to
eliminate nil grade crossings, in the
saving of damage suits arising from
accidents, due either to the careless
ness of the company or the injured
ClareSee Poe thinks that the future
of cotton is .up to the bankers of the
South. If the-tanks fail to lend
money to the o'ne-hore farmer irj this
crisis, then calamity for cotton fs sure
to follow, thinks Dr. Pee. He says
ne. realizes that there is not much
profit to be made by lending the one
horK or two-horse farmer the amount
of money needed to carry over his few
bales of ctton, and that the bankers
may prefer to confine their loans to
merchants, cotton buyers, and weal
thy money lenders.
"In thecourse of a stirring appea:
to the bankers of. the South to come
$o the rescue of the farmers, Dr. Pee
saysu v v .
" 'Nevertheless, just at this time
the prosperity -o the South depends
upon getting help to this bottom man.
A chain is no stronger than its weak
est link. If the banks now fail to
help the poorest class of farmers,
then the markets may be glutted
with "distressed cotton" at the very
beginning of the season, satiating the
demands of our American mills, com
pelling low prices throughout all the
rest of the marketing seasons and
endangering the prosperity of ai:
classes in the South.
" 'Moreover, Mr. Banker, we be
lieve this is an opportunity for you
to establish a fellowship, a friend
ship, and a companionship with even
ta 'npttfniising small farmer that
will inure to your benefit and his
through all the coming years.' "
