Her people, on the' whole, are the best people in the world. - She stands for those things in morals and in government ' that tends - towards higher and nobler standards. - Her people love her in stitutions, her Jawa and her history. She baa her faults to err is human and Concord ia human We glory In the splendid citizenship of our 'town. We are proud of the great- industrial strides she baa made and is making. We are proud of our popular schools which are a bulwark against ignor ance and intolerance.' Consider Con cord in comparison with other cities and we rank AL As a residential centre we have no equal in the South. In beautiful homes, is intelligent peo ple, in handsome churches and in the highest type of womanhood on earth Concord is greatly blessed. :- Our peo ple love the true and the good, ab hor the false and artificial, ; admire the just and the honorable, and are loyal to all those great attributes of honor and integrity that for centuries have .been- the precious heritage of the southern people. We are proud of our city and county, our State, our nation, r. They are worthy of love of every patriot, while these things Are true we still hope for improvements, industrially, educationally and mor ally. We have not. reached our ten ith by a great deal. And this reminds us that our people should, in order to uphold our past record and im prove the present and prepare for our future, vote solidly for the pro posed bond issue which is tonaintaiil our graded sehools. Concord is justly proud of our splendid graded school buildings. They are a credit to our city and in years past have met the demands of our people. Today our city lias out grown these buildings and it is ab solutely necessary to enlarge, them to keep pact with , our, growing eity. There is no need to argue the need of providing school facilities for our common schools for they are the bas is of all education. Our school com missioners tell us that there are at present 54 pupils on the average to each teacher in the schools. Thus is too many for any teacher and more room and more teachers must be tup-, plied.- We appeal to purspeoplc, who have always stood up- for our aihool" interests, to rally to this matter and vote for this bond issue in order to enlarge our school rooms as our city requires This 10 cents on the $100 of property and 30 cents on each poll will onlv add' about $3,000 per year to; our people. What is $3,000 divid-J ed among all the people of. Concord f The per capita amount is too small to consider and yet tins smaujax spells much for the people of our city. We cannot afford to go backward in the education of the masses or the people in this age where education is a necessity beyond any question. As our city grows, as the population in creases so does the demands for more schools.: We have about 12,000 peo Dle here and this extra tax- will be about 25 cents on each person. Who is there in bur city who will retard our city school work and refuse ac commodation to all our children lor the pitiful sum of 25 cents per cap ita t In fact the voters of all part ies should make this school tax pro- vision a certainty by a unanimous vote.' v'- ' ' , ' .- There is no: opposition to it. from any source that the writer knows of, but registered voter who does not vote at 11 votes against the measure, therefore it is very important that every "voter who favors the measure shall vote for it. If von want better schools here do not fail to vote for this small tax for the maintenance of the people's pri mary schools. - Thus make Concord grow.(. r A rAttJcwi.

Swaxengin was In flames. Despite the work of many volunteer fire fighters the store ana the' bigger portior of the contents were, destroyed. The tire spread to the adjoining building aecupied as a general store by Hol&houser and Sif- lert and this too was soon destroyed. The brick store buildings occupied by the China Grove Hardware Com pany and Pemberton and Tost were also badly damaged, the glass in the windows of the hardware concern be ing broken by the intense beat. J. J. time s restaurant across the street was also damaged by the fire. Chiua Grove is without fire protec - tiou but the the department of the Patterson Manufacturing Company, who operate a large cotton mill, was brought into service and did some good work in saving other endangered buildings. . Mr. bwaiengm s los is almost com plete and will amouut to between $4,- 000 aud $8,000. Some goods were saved from the store of Holshouser and Yost but their loss will amount to something like $8,000. Both concerns carried insurance but the policies as well as their books were locked in a sale iu the -burned buildings and at this time it is impossible to tell the amount carried. The tire originated in the loft of Swareugin's store and its origin is unknown. Good Show at Opera House.

With the eon fereuca between railroad officials aod a committee of the State- Legislature for au adjustment of North Carolina freight rates act for Tuesday, April 2Dth, wheu the railroad's representa tives will icturu to give final answer to the State's proposal of rates, it was stated here today the railroad officials will be forced to accept or forward a definite refusal of the con tention of State rate experts. According to information gathered at the office of the North Carolina Coiporation Commission the actual reductions in revenue by accepting the proKeitioti admitted by the State would be ouly $3,222,09 for the South ern Railway, the Seaboard Air Line and the Atlantic Coast Line. That these reductions would be more than compensated for in the natural in crease of freight business is the con tention of the State s experts. Whether the railroads will seek to continue their present tariffs in North Carolina while granting other States alleged reasonable freight rates is a (i;estioii. State officials believe, that must necessarily be settled at the third conference. The proposition submitted by the State calls for a reduction of ap proximately 33 per cent, on inter state shipment into North Carolina. In other words what the commission requests is approximately the same, rate applying to the main line of the Southern Railway between Lynchburg ami Washington. Members of the commission contend that it must also ho cusiilereil that the density of traffic is greater in North Carolina than in Virginia and that the earn ings t f the railroads must necessarily be larger. Virginia rates, they con tend, are reasonable while North Car olina frieght rates are in excess of reasonable profits. Analysis of the earnings and ton nage of the Southern,. Seaboard, and Atlantic Coast lines in North Caro lina on interstate freight business for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1912, shows that the combined income from this source was $17,188,852. - Of lhis total, the Southern earned $8,375,213, the Seaboard $3,89700 and the Coast Line $4,915,60"). Shippers interested iu the present rate, controversy declare that a cut of , 33 per cent, in the earnings of these. -roads : would on its face lend color to the declaration of the rail roads that, it would revolutionize the traffic and impair the revenues of the carriers, hut one-fourth of this bus iness would not ba affected because it either originates from the south or passes entirely through the State. This, they claim, would leave $12,891, 039 iu earnings affected, and, as much of the freight is in commodities not reduced, the reduction would amount in fact to only 25 per cent of twelve millions, or $3,222,409. Setting aside the contention that there would be no increases in frieght traffic au amouut of over three million dollars annually, State experts agree, would be-a stiff loss to be lost by the roads affected. Arguing against this however, it is. pointed out. by the State's represen- tatives that rates now prevailing in North Carolina have not been ad justed since 1889 and that trams and earnings of the roads in question has increased since that time 150 per j cent, in a speciuc uisiuuce, it ta pointed out that the Southern rail road has doubled its lines since 1889. The Southern's increase, it is claim ed, has been more than 100 per cent, on its lines. The tonnage of the Seaboard Air line, according to State figures, has increasedd uring the past ten years 136 per cent.; tonnage of the At lantic Coast line during the same pe liod has increased 100 per cent.; earnings of the Seaboard for the past six mi.ut lis since its last annual re porthave increased $170,500 over the earnings of a corresponding pe riod a year before, or 3.57 per cent, tor six months; frieght earnings of the Atlantic Coast Line for the past six months have been $345,000 more than for the corresponding penod a vear ago, or 5.42 per cent. The Southern road, State figures show has fared even better, its freight earn iii!rs for the past six months increas- in $600,000 over the corresponding pe.iod a year ago, or a percentage of 6.63. .Should its business contin ue to increase the percentage would be 13 for the year. With these figures taken into con sideration, members of the State's commission declare, it would be al most inconceivable that the roads in question will resist the State's pro position at the forthcoming confer ence. On the contrary should the roads reject tbe State's proposal, the entire State will continue to suffer, it is declared, and the railroads will receive censure and criticism costing them more in dollars and cents than the amounta now involved. . ' The railroads,, therefore, face a cri sis; it is declared here, and it remains to ba seen whether they will decline to do simple justice to the people that have swelled their cotters ior more than a score of years.:.' ? .r Interest j throughout the ' antire State centers in the forthcoming eon ference. iM:J:'-:'::m vi'1'' Winecoff High ' School ' defeated China Grove at Cinco baseball park Saturday, afternoon by the score of 8 to 2..

Evidence is accumulating that President Wil son meant exactly what he said some time before his inauguration when he told the public, "only progressives need apply," referring to the jobs and toe influence at his disposal. Ihe real test will come, urobablv this week when President Wil son and Secretary MrAdoo will be asked by' Senators Simmons and Overman to name Col. A. D. Watts as collector aw. imv .mciu uisiriri ui .onii i ar olina.; Colonel Watts is considered by those opposing his nomination a distinct reactionary. Those who have protested aaginst tbe appointment of the Iredell man have made their fight against him upon the ground that he is not a progressive and has opposed legislation known to be favored by President Wilson. Watt's indorsement by North Car olina Democrats is considered the strongest ever brought to Washing ton. The botch of papers which will be taken to tbe Wlite House and treasury department cannot be car ried by either or both of the North Carolina Senators. It will be neces sary to hire a cab to transport the papers to the executive offices. If President Wilson refuses to recognize Col. Watts, there can be no doubt as to the attitude of the administration. The result is awaited with interest. Secretary of the Navy Daniels, as has already been stated in these dis patches, is opposing Watts with all his might. Carey Dowd, of Charlotte, is favored by Mr. Daniels as the man to beat Watts, but it is thought if Mr. Daniels defeats the Iredell man he will have to bring forward a man more pronounced in his progressive views than has been evidenced by the Charlotte publisher. The President desires party har mony as much as any Democrat, but be is not prepared to compromise the interests of that element of the party which is really heart and soul with him, as distinguished from that which is merely luke warm and convention al to gain it.

At the us ual conference with newspaper men President Wilson made it clear that scientists who will be appointed must be executive as well. He said there is no hitch in recognition of the Chi nese republic and is awaiting them to comply to certain restrictions. The President is pleased at the pro gress of the tariff and is confident there will he no hitch in the bill pass ing the House and is certain the Sen ate situation will smooth out any objectors to the bill that may come. The President is confident than any anti-alien land law passed by Cali fornia will be in such shape that Ja pnn cannot seriously object. COMMISSION ON CONSTITUTION MEETS. Short Address by Governor.
