Elsewhere in The Graphic "A Cit izen" discusses the matter of elec tric lights for Nashville and in the article discusses some of the ear'y history of the town, pointing out the steady strides that have been made within recent years. Electric lights . for the town is a question that has before been discussed by some of our citizens, however no one seemed to be that interested as to cause them to make any especial effort to secure these modern conveniences Yes, Nashville is growing to that proportion as warrants a change from our present lighting facilities. There is reason to believe that the problem can be easily solved. The Graphic doubts the practicability and probability of a local electric plant paying unless the same is han dled very conservatively, this asser tion being based upon the experi ence of Spring Hope and other small towns in Eastern North Caro lina that have tried and are still grappling with the situation. By co-operating with Mr. N. C. Warren, whose milling plant is conveniently located and where there is already sufficient power to drive the dynamo and other apparatus, or by interest ing the Parker-Whitaker Lumber Co., the Town Commissioners may be able to effect plans which would materially help the situation. Another plan would be to negotiate with the Rocky Mount Power & Light Co., with the view of having power supplied from Rocky Mount In all probability such an arrange ment could be made and the cost of electricity to Nashville and to pri vate individuals would be consider ably less than if the town tried to maintain a local plant. These are matters the town officials and cit izens should discuss and if the prop osition of electric lights is a good thing, of course Nashville should . have them. It is said that only a small per cent of the school books recently adopted by the State Board are available and there is a likelihood that many of them will not be until probably in December or the begin ning of next year. This ia causing ; considerable . trouble among- the , teachers and parents throughout the State. : While the Board were con tracting with the book publishers they should have looked after the matter of seeing that the books adopted would be available in time. The constant changing of books is a nuisance to the public in many in stances. It might be said that many of the new ones to be used are , inferior to the ones that have been in use. - Daring the past week there has been a steady increase in the num ber of students enrolled in the Nash ville Graded ': School. However, there are many children living in the district who are not attending and parents should look after this mat ter. No child of school age should te allowed to remain at home now t'. :.t the schools are open. ' i'-.

Nashville is a town of about one thousand people and is now in the most progressive spirit it has ever been. The people have woke from a longer slumber than that of Rip Van Winkle. This was the county site and a town before anyone thought of a town where Rocky Mount now stands. When the Wilmington and Weldon Railroad was built there was a county road that crossed the railroad site, and people began to congregate there on the side of the railroad, people that were progres sive and wide awake, people that were willing to risk their money in new enterprises and make a sacri fice, if needs be, for the upbuilding and for the good of the town. , When the railroad came to Nash ville for some cause it was allowed to pass a mile from what was then the town and the same distance from what is now the center of the town, thus making it very ill-convenient for the traveling public, and causing the merchants an immense amount of needless expense of hauling their freight. There has been an awaken ing and the people found that the garments were in a decayed condi tion and that weeds had grown up between the fingers and toes of Rip, but the weeds have been cut and mostof the decayed clothes have been discarded and new modem brick buildings have been erected in stead of the unsightly and rotten wooden shacks that at one time bor dered our streets. There has also been a number of modern mansions built and many have remodeled their old residence and made them more comfortable and palatial. This work has not ceased but is continuing and the town is growing faster than ever before. Nashville has a great future be fore it. It has good railroad services twice daily, and of the best farming sections in the State to back it, and prosperity for the farmer means prosperity for every one. It is the county site and therefore.the center of all legal business and the center of the educational facilities of the county. In only a few years we will have electric lights, an adequate water and sewerage system. There will be an electric car line from Rocky Mount, with cars running every half hour or hour. In short, Nashville will possess all the modern advantages of the larger cities and the population will not be so con gested and therefore it will be a more desirable place to live than in the congested cities. While the ball is rolling, why not the citizens of the town put their shoulders to the wheel and not only keep it rolling, but increase its veloc ity. In other words, why not, a town the size of this and with the natural resources which, if develop ed, will make this a modern little city of which every citizen will be proud. I say why not have electric lights, and have them now. A cor poration can be organized, and is now being agitated, to furnish lights for the town and to the citi zens of the town, if the people will patronize such an enterprise un til it can get on its feet, so to speak The stores could have lights which will not always go out at the wrong time. The residences could be light ed with electricity instead of the old smoking lamp. It would not be necessary for the churches to have someone to spend a day working on the lights every time they have ser vice. The stage of our opera house could be decently lighted and better shows could be had, and if desirable a motion-picture machine could be installed. Inshort.lt would be to the advantage of every citizen of the town, whether rich or poor. It would make the town more attractive ta strangers and would greatly add to its progressiveness. ,,If the citizens will come together we can get elec tric lights and get them now. We should have them and we can have them. Nashville is as large and I hope no less progressive than : other, towns that have them. There is Spring Hope, our next door neighbor, Ayden, Kinston, and I might name many others that are small towns but have awoke to the realization that they must not be behind the time but must take the progressive step. . Castalia says that it is going to have a railroad and the people are right down to work after it. A rail road is much more expensive to in stall and operate than an electric light plant, and it seems to me that we can have electric lights if Casta lia can have a railroad, and even though they don't net a railroad for that matter. There are some, pro gressive people in Castalia and thev will have electric lights there in a few years, and if our people do not get together they will beat us to it. No one man can do it by himself so it is the privilege as well as the duty of every citizen to give this matter their strongest support. v : A Citizen. Dr.W. II.

The stock is valued at $10 a share "This movement for , warehouses was simultaneous with the advice to the farmers of the State te hold their cotton for a better price because of the short crop. The warehouse scheme logically grew out of the movement encouraging the farmer to hold his cotton. Only by co-oper ating to build a chain of warehouses was it felt possible to enable small farmers to hold their cotton for prices better than a bearish market is disposed to give. . Hitherto the trouble has been that the tenant farmers and the owners of a few acres have, through the exigencies of the situation, been forced to sell at the price offered by the buyer, Unlike most other people who have things to sell, they were not in I position to set a price on their cot ton.. But under this warehousing system, backed by the banks of the country towns, they will be able to demand of the buyer the price they are willing to take for their crop." Kill More Than Wild Beast.
