MR. DUKE ASKS FOR A RAISE.
Mr. J. B. Bake, who is reputed to
be the owner of the Southern Power
Company, has again stirred up the
fire eaters by asking fcr a raise in
the price of power. He states 'hat
mule? flio ? ? - ? -* "" ?
?v> i.u0 ificcciiL price ui 9i.?0 per
hunired killowat hoars he is only
making four per cent, and states that
lie can nnt continue to add to his
plant unless he is granted an increase
hi rates, asking that he be allowed to
make the rate $1.40. True, Mr. Duke
ma unfortunate in stating his re.
quest, making it appear rather as a
threat than as a request, but we accept
his statement saying no such
threat was intended. If the business
is only yielding four per cent, then
i*> business man will censure him for
not putting more money into the project,
and we have nc authority for
saying hip statement is net true. It
is up to the Corporation Commission
to decide this question. But the
question which puzzles us is .why any
one should kick on a rate of $1.40,
when we pay for our power $9.00.
We are pnalterably opposed to profiteering,
but there has too long been
the feeling of crushing any bt? enterprise?especially
if a Duke has
anything to do with it, which might
come this way. North Carolina, is
too big for such small practices and
should welcome any enterprise which
means the upbuilding of the state.
arid certainly no- one preposition has
meant more to the industrial growth
of North Carolina than the developing;
of the water power.
We have never, directly or indirectly,
received a penny of Mr. Duke's
money, but we welcome him and his
money to North Carolina and hope
the Corporation will see fit to grant
him the increase if it is necessary to;
enable him to continue his- develcn?
mcnt rf ^the latent?water pwwthis
State.
SCHOOLS AND ROADS.
?o?
No one can oass through" Person j
County without being struck with- the i
wonderful progress being made, and;
especially is this noticeable in schools I
and roads. Good schools have sprung tip
in almost every section of the
County ani our reads are the equal!
of any to be found in.th--* State. TV.
is alwavs the result of pulling to-j
gether. Some time a?c the board rf,
education and the highway comnir
?i?n had a joint meeting ar.d deride!
to work in full harmony, iha highway
commission promising to see that n
good road?was maintained in every
section leading to a high school, and
an a result of this plnn srhcol children
by the hundreds are transported
daily to the various high schools,
thus enabling many children t? have
ti.. ..J..1 C\f

course, there are some sections which
think certain roads should be worked,
apd they probably will be just as
soon as the road force cab get to
thetnr but it is absolutely impossible
for the highway commission to work
all roads at once. Few realize the
coat in moving the road fcrce from
, one section to another, hence the
t? dissatisfaction when their request
for help is not answered immeiiateI
