TUESDAY, JULY 29, 1913. NOTIIINJ KIT kiuiit. The Hickory Democrat Rets off its base in the following game: "We note that the proposition to so amend the constitution as to permit municipal government to appropriate the fines and penalties which each im poses has failed to carry before the committee on constitutional amend ments. The contention of the cities in this matter seems so just that we nave been unable to see any reason why the constitution should nut have been so amended as to pennit each town to appropriate the lines which it collects to the maintainance of its own school system. The city of Hickory is not only taxing its citizens to sup port its own graded schools but in addition to this. tax its people also have to contribute to the general school funds, making a double taxation for school purposes. Further than this the city has to maintain effective governmental machinery in order that its municipal and the state laws may be enforced. To maintain this gov ernmental protection costs money and to raise this money means an addition al tax burden on its citizens. Despite this, however, every fine imposed and collected, goes not to the support of that immediate branch of the govern ment which makes its collection pos sible, but it is appropriated to the general school fund. Then again the idea of permitting the cities to use these fines is entirely in line with our old time view of local self government, and uerhans furnishes us with the most striking illustration. W hy should the constitutional amendments com mittee have seen fit to depart from The mean old Washington Post says: His political enemies are still claim ing that the Colonel never finished anything, but what's the matter with the Bull Moose party? Mount Airy must have felt like knocking the tea cup over and spilling coffee when she had such a distinguish' ed guest as Dr. A. C. DixoD, of Lon don, preaching there. J. he Times-Leader ot burry is throwing up its hands over the talk of District Attorney Holton going out of office. He has, it is true, made a good official. And he's not out yet. It takes three strikes to put a man out didn't you know that? Hut he's goin' to fan; now, you just sit still and watch. A judgment in federal court in New York State showed that the Lewy Chemical Company there had been selling a fake insecticide for killing moths. "Mislabeling" or "mis branding" was the violation. The goods were labeled "Cedar of Leban on and Camphor," when in fact they only contained chips of wood of the common red cedar. v A news item taken from the Yad kinville paper several days ago said that forty thousand had been left by the will of an old doctor, who died alone cn the porch of his residence. His name was "Dr. S. W. Little," says th8 Statesville Landmark, and the sum of about five thousand went to the Baptist orphanage at Thorna- ville instead of the Oxford orphanage And a correspondent friend," of Chari ty and Children, the Thomas vill e Orphanage's paper says that "it is said" that he willed a portion of it to Thomasville. Along the "precipice" of truth strolls the Baltimore Sun: "A physician has testified in a Chi' cago divorce case that idle men ma"ke the most ardent lovers. Men who have the principal in this particular case?" j a reRuar hmn am ftttend tQ The contention of the cities is plain ly unjust instead of right. Why it is that people housed up in towns and cities like rats become narrow and hate the soil. It has, we know, long been the truth; since Jacob and his sons moved into Egypt there was a "difference between the farmer and townsman. But to the point: the above can merely be read with pa tience, (jet the Democrat answer these questions. Does not the cities and towns get money from the general school fund? Then should the people of the country, folks of farms, alone, contribute to the gener al fund? Do not those who pay the fines often live outside the town (if the should be considered)? The Democrat says: said, are not likely to be as affectionate as those who have nothing to do. "He is right. Love-making is, after all, chiefly a matter of phrase-making. To make a good phrase means hard work every author will tell you that and the man who has to earn his living is too tired out at the end of the day to do literary work of a high order. Speaking of the right of the rail ways, just as of any other business enterprise to present their cause, fully and freely, before courts, ad ministration tribunals, legislatures, and the bar of public opinion.

It is working upon the farther stretch whose completion will link North Wilkesboro with Boone over a dis tance of 52 miles. Near Boone it will meet the Norfolk & Western's defi nitely projected extension through Ashe county past Jefferson into Wa tauga county. A region of really won derful resources, not only in timber and attractiveness for resort purposes but also in iron ore and several other res pects, will be given rail communi cation with the world. Incidentally the new railroad will pass within less than seven miles from Blowing Rock, with a good road already existing be tween. It will save our northwestern most counties from draining into oth er States, as too much of our terri tory already does; it will not only give them railroad facilities but will couple them up effectively with the body of the State. It should also, by its con nection with the Norfolk & Western's direct mileage into the Middle West, improve the State's transportation in no unimportant way. From Grandin, rather more than midway between North Wilkesboro and Darby, it is planned to throw a connecting line of about 15 miles into Lenoir. And a word about this town of Grandin may not be amiss, since it is purely the creation of the railroad. Here will soon be ready for operation one of the largest lumber plants in the county, with four wood-working and furniture factories already assured as neighbors thereto. Grandin, with its adjacent timber wealth permanently conserved, will soon be an important new indus trial point on the State map. All we have been saying about the developments in prospect assumes a well built railroad, not such a mere logging as Colonel Varner would make us suppose. It is, in fact, a stand ard construction, with compensated grades as low as the difficult moun tain engineering of the section which tranverses the Blue Ridge will per mit within a cost limit running there over $50,000 a mile. . The plans call for To-round rails outside the moun tains and 85-pound rails inside. We are reliably informed that $TOO,000 has already been spent upon the road, $800,000 more will be spent before reaching Boone, and that arrange ment for a $3,500,000 bond issue up on the whole construction and equip ment have been made. It is also stated that the 24 miles now in op eration are paying well," although the work of handling the timber has not yet begun. The locomotives used are said to be heavier than those on the Southern Railway's principal branch line. Take it all around as a rail road construction and as a splendid new revenue of development we should say that this "alleged railroad" comes remarkably near being the real thing. We get it straight from Mr. W. G. Grandin, whom Colonel Varner has with such spirit and decency castigat ed, that the Watauga & Yadkin Val ley has never been granted by the State over half the number of con victs it should receive under the terms of the general act. Instead of the minimum of 50 or the maximum of 125, it is allowed only 28 really too small a number to handle economi cally, although very satisfactory oth erwise. The Watauga and Yadkin Valley people have had the awkward task of explaining to their bankers why they thus seem to be considered unworthy by the State. Positively, Colonel Varner, you should withdraw your satire and try to see the inadvisability of the State neither keeping its agreements nor af lordir.g the railroad projects of some sections the help which the railroad projects of all the other sections have enjoyed. Let's not shut off all sup plies of convict labor until these new railroads into these 3-:ctions have had a fair chance to make good. dollars from the general fund and so does Hickory more. The legislative committee has done nothing bnt right. Europe has the Balkin on its hand and the United States Mexico. The Union Messenger is this smart: Twinkle, twinkle, Dave Lamar; how we wonder what you are! er than ever that he has done some of the "alleged railroads" of the State much wrong. Take, for example, "one smooth Pennsylvania gentleman who is building a road to a million dollar tract of timber land." Colonel Varner's fling needs no interpretation. What are the facts? The Watauga & Yadkin Valley Railroad Company has built and placed in operation about 24 miles of railroad between One of the most common aiiments that hard working people are afflict ed with its lame back.

Here now, every man in this sur rounding country is offered the chance to buy goods he will sure ly need sooner or later, at prices way below what he has had to pay formerly or will have to pay later. The shrewd men those who are getting ahead are quick to grasp such an opportunity as this. They realize that to take advan tage of it is just like finding money. Go where you will and when you will, you'll, not find bargains like these. No merchant is going to sacrifice good merchandise in this way except under circumstances compelling drastic measures. J. C.
