Herald yesterday - morning that
The meeting was not as largely
attended as we would liked to have
seen, but it was composed of sev
eral of the business men, and pro
fessional men, and others who are
interested in the progress of the
town. The meeting was called to
order by the Mayor who called Mr
W. D. Merritt to the chair to pre
side over the meeting , and the
Editor of The Courier requested to
act as Secretary.
The question of issuing bonds
for a graded , school was thorough
ly discussed by many present, , as
well as other improvements in the
town. We believe it was the pre
vailing opinion of those present
that we should first vote bonds for
a suitable graded school building,
and then if the way was clear ask
for the other bonds. Those present
were in thusiastic for a new graded
school building.
A committee consisting of
Messrs. N. Lunsford, W. T.
Bradsher, L; M. Garlton, W. D.
Merritt and K O. Carver were ap
pointed to draft a bill to be sent to
the Legislature-and report at an
other meeting to be held later.
The meeting then adjourned.
This was Or pretty, good start and
we hope the good work will be
kept up until we shall see a hand
some brick building for the graded
school of Roxboro.
A commi tee was also appointed,
consisting of A. R. Foshee, F.
O Carver and L. M. Carlton to
cember. In big. bold type there
was printed $625, the amount
which each member delegate and
resident commissioner will receive
when the bill raising the salaries
goes into effect, as against $417,
the presnt monthly salary. Antici
pating the passage of the bill the
clerks in order to expedite the work
attendant upon making up the rolls
have had these slips printed in ad
vance of the approval of the bill by
the President, but there is no fear
that the increase will fail.
The Trusts Have Destroyed Competi
tioi in Insurance Rates.
Thousands of people all over.
North Carolina, who are overburd
ened al nos beyond endurance
with extortionate insurance prem
iums, are daily and anxiously wait
in g to see the. Legislatue give the
insurance trust a knock-out blow;
They have faith in their representa
tives at Raleigh to belive that such
a blow will be -N landed good and
hard before the Legislature ad-;
joums. Of all the trusts 'now oper
ating in the State, the insurance
trust is the worst. As previously
noted in these columns, the rates
that this trust is now .exacting, or
rather extorting from helpless policy-holders,
in many instances,
amounts to little less than. confisca
tion. So far as insurance raies are
concerned ihe trust has absolutely
look after a site for the new build-' destroyed all competition in Norm
Uga N Carolina. Waxhaw hnterprjse.

Congressman W. W. Kitchin is to
be a factor in the7 next campaign
when jhe race for the governorship
is on there has been a great deal of
speculation as to who will be in the
race for the seat now held by Kitchin
as the repressfttative from the fifth
district in the congress of the United
btates. l nis was talRea a great
deal on the streets yesterday.
A great many people mentioned
the name ot Solicitor A. L. Brooks
as the most logical candidate for the
p ace and during the day the re
porter for The Herald asked him if
he was to bq a candidate for con
gress anu he admitted that he had
aspirations along that line and that
he would make the race if the peo
ple of the district thought that he
was the man tosuceeed Mr. Kitchin.
When seen HMr. Brooks did not
care to talk very much but when
j told that there were rumors that he
'was to be in the race and that his
name has, been mentioned by a
goodly number of people he said
that it was true that a large number
of friend's h'loughoutel., -'district,
these inducing many prominent
people in various counties, had re
peatdly requested him to enter the
race for congress. Sometime ago,
said Mr. Brooks, - he decided to en
ter the race if the great mass of i
democratic voters in the district de
sired him to do so.
Speaking of the candidacy of
Mr. Kitchin for the governorship he
said that he did not know that hi
did know ttyat Mr. Kitchin was t
enter this race until he e me t
Durham a fen- days ago. Then h:
was told as much by Mr. Kiichi.
regarding the congressional .iiatte
io had made up , his. mind somt
time agu.
Mr. Brooks, who is the able rep
resennve of ihe state in this uistnL
as solictor, has been elected to tir
position, three limes, Having aireaaK
served eight years and is now b
ginnin his third term. He is a
great believer in the principal thai
the masses of people are competen t
:o choose ' their represeii tati ves v..
ihe various branches pfthe govern
ment and this prompted him to say.
that he was going to leave'the mat
ter of his candidacy in the h inds of
these voters. The masses know
who to trust in1 these places, ana
they know, too wno has proven
true to the tru?ts given in their
keeping. In the eight years that
Mr. Brooks has represen ted ; ihis
district there has not een so far as
knnwn, a single miscarriage of jus
tice on account of him not vigor-'
ously prosecuting the defendants
regardless of who7' they may, have
been.-. ':; "' ; :
Many of those who werespeakT
ing of Mr. , Brooks, as thf logical
snccessor of Mr. Kitchin said ' yes
terday that, there 'were many
reasons why he should be chosen
as the party standard bearerjn the
fifth congressional district, r One is
on acount of his extensive acquain t
ance in the 5 district, i He is ? knovri
