Tho Groat IVhlto IVoy-Eotlmnto on Pormanont Illumination The question of illuminating our Main street will not , down. From time to time we have re ceived various communications which are enthusiastic in endors ing various means bringing this about. One communi cation says: While we have as good arc lighting system as to be had' anywhere, yet in the ab sence of illuminating electric signs, we need a great deal more light on our main street. I sug gest that the city purchase suffi cient Tungston eiectirc ' light poles to fill out this need. The poles are of cheap cast iron and will last a life time. They can be installed at a cost each of about $22.00. At this rate 24 poles could be installed for $528 and maintained including cur rent and lamps at the small cost of $30 per pole per year or $720. For a total cost then of about $1250 we could have a thorough ly and beautifully lighted thor oughfare from the Presbyterian church on South Main street, to the corner of Thurston and North Main streets. We know our ag gressive mayor is equally as thorough on all questions of public economy, but we believe every citizen would sustain the mayor and the city council in beautifying our Main street with ! this lighting .service.

Court Calendar Con flict ' RANDOLPH'S JULY TERM OUT OF SCHEDULE " ENGLISH CASE ON DOCKET. Asheboro, June 12. Randolph county Superior court, scheduled for the first week in July, is in conflict with the new schedule going into effect that week on ac count of the four new judicial dis tricts. The difficulty will prob ably be arranged by a speical term for Randolph, for that time as it is very much needed. The one case of general inter est and of particular interest here is the trial of L. R. English for his life for the killing ,of John Armstrong. It is rumored that English may submit to a second degree verdict, and theer seems but little expectation on the part of anyone that he will pay the extreme penalty. ... ; o ' When you need hosiery why not buy the best Cadet-Knosair every pair guaranteed, silk and liles, 2Sc-to $1.00 at Tilley's.

It is a trait of human nature not to appreciate a satisfactory condition of affairs until a com parison is forced by the appear ance of an unsatisfactory condi tion. If the people of Rocky Mount had to live under condi tions as exist in some municipal ities, they could then appreciate the better conditions here. It is all right to criticise and protest to a certain point, and of course there is always room for im provement, but it is better before a change is made. Along this line the more we see comparisons made in city government with that of Rocky Mount the better satisfied we arc with the present status of affairs. It is a well known fact that the faster a city grows the more improvements it need through its mode of govern ment. The same statement ap plies to a business enterprise. Consequently, Rocky Mount has had to face extraordinary expen ses by the city government. How ever, if the enhancement in value of property could be shown it would be evident that the tax payers would be greatly the gain ers. So it would only be fair to compare the city government of Rocky Mount with some com munity that is growing in about the same ratio. High Point is probably the fastest growing city in per centage of population in the State except Rocky Mount. Consequently we were struck by a recent publication of their tax rate as compared to Rocky Mount. In High Point the rate for school and general tax on property is $1.45. In Rocky Mount it is $1.10. The poll tax in High Point is $3.35, in Rocky Mount $300, DEATH OF AGED CITIZEN iMr. J. M. Marsh, who resides near Mackay Kennels, died this morning from the effect of par alysis, after an illness of three week Deceased was 72 years of age and is survived by his wife and one son, and his sister Mrs. John W. Freeman. The funeral "services will be held at Deep River tomorrow morning at 11 o'clock. A Wonderful Growth SOURCE OF PRIDE TO ALL "The most successful year in its history" is the verdict of the management of the High Point Hospital. Looking over the re ports of this institution yesterday we" find that the past year estab lished a mangnilcient record in the vast volume of its work and efficiency. The institution cared for nearly 250 patients. Over 100 of these alone were operated on for appendicitis which there were 123 cases of all other surgeries. There are twenty beds in the in stitution and for a majority of the time, every one was taken the entir.e time and in many in stances patients were forced to wait. The Outlay and Efficiency The hospital now represents an outlay of $18,000 in buildings and equipment. Its service is thor ough, and its methods are abreast of those of the. largest hospi tals of the day. Aside from- the superior surgical service, the trained nurse service is -very su perior, being directly under the supervision of a most efficient superintendent of this department which in turn is in closest touch with the physicians skill and ad vice who arc responsible for the success of the institution.. It is doing a great and noble work for this section. Dr. Kilgo TO DEDICATE SOUTH MAIN ST. M. E. CHURCH T.ishop John C. Kilgo. of Dur ham, wi'l dedicate the South Main Street M.
