THE DELAY IX. TRAINING SCHOOL
DECISION.
While it is now known that no de-
; . , . . . . . .
cision In the matter of the Eastern
. Carolina Training school location will
be given before. July 10th, the delay
in this decision has provoked a good
deal of unfavorable comment, in this
section. The resolution of the com
mittee sent over this section, to vilt
the places that had made bids for this
school, after its tour of inspection' is
as follows:
"That the selection of the site of the
East Carolina Teachers' Training
school be postponed until 10 o'clock
Wednesday morning, July 10, 1907;
that, on account of a variance and dis
crepancy in the offers made by the
different bidders for the location of
the school and misunderstanding by
the members of the board as to these
offers made at the meeting on June
Eth, the board decided that, in fair
ness to all and that there might be no
misunderstandings nad no advantage
given to any bidder, all be allowed, If
they see fit, to state In writing what
they are willing to do, allowing them
to add to or explain the bids hereto
fore made; that, confusion having
. arisen on account of the ambiguity of
the bids heretofore made, no altera
tion or increase shall be considered ex
cept as clearly made in writing; that
no further oral argument is requested
by the board but each bidder so de
siring may appoint one representative
to be .present on July 10th when the
bids are submitted to the board."
" Remembering the original proposi
tion, that bids were to be sent to Ra
leigh, June 5th, that the towns making
the bids were to have representatives
at Raleigh, on that date, to . present
their several claims, all this being car
- ried out by those places Becking the
sqlfodl. Then, as per rule, the com
mittee makes the circuit, and instead
of a speedy decision, over two weeks
delay ' continues and with it l the
strange resolution sent but, as a rea
son. 'What the "fairness to all,"
means, and the "confusion," "ambigu
ity of the bids," la to be taken for, is
not explained. The places seeking this
school followed the rules laid down,
of were not eligible. What place has
foiled? What place is confused? And
if any place Is eonfused, what has it to
do with the bids made? .
( Either the original plan of rules
laid down for those k seeking this
school was faulty, or there Is. some-
.......... ,
thing In this delay which Is, going to
give some place an advantage. It is
. to be hoped that the end,- when the de
cision comes, will not reveal "peanut
politics.".;, ;;y ' ,
THE COSTLI "PRIYILEGE" TO DO
BUSINESS IN KETf BEEN. ' ;
The local aspirant to start in busi
ness for himself .or herself, had best
look well Into the matter, of wha the
cost is to be. Not the rent the pur
chase of goods, county' or stats tax,
but the tax so-called the city "privi
lege" tax, which must be paid for In
advance. ' O1- '''.,.-:
The notice of the city clerk, that this
tax must be paid this week, by every
one doing business, should arouse
more than the whisper of protect from
a few small dealers. It there was any
kind of a local business organization,
there would be some concert of action
that could got some fair reduction in
this "privilege" tax matter. 'But as it
is, two tilings, at lt-i:it, are certain to
f " ,w, t'.'s very coatly "iirlvil";(," to
u I ;s in New T:rn. Cue, the
; v ' ' ; lint .f i,mi'roii9 rnin.'l
. I ! i :i a fc 1
of the city, hoped to build up a busi
ness by economy and, personal effort,
and some day acquire a large trade,
and be able to move into the - large
business district. But no chance now,
and meet Shis "privilege' tax, which is
in advance; and in amount equal to
some cases, a quarter, third or half,
the value of the small dealers stocks.
The second effect following the en
forcement of this costly "privilege"
tax, means higher prices on all neces
saries of life, 'groceries, dry goods, etc.
for every merchant that can survive is
certain to raise the prices on every ar
ticle "he sells. Ask any merchant in
New Bern today, and every one will
agree that this "privilege" payment is
an additional weight, like the straw
that broke the camel's back, it means
desperate work for every merchant to
meet it .- "v "'v.'.: '
Another feature of this "privilege,"
and it is a ghastly financial joke Jo
term It a "privilege": to pay this tax,
is that there' is an' unjust discrimina
tion In It That is, some may pay quar
terly and. semi-annually, while others
must pay annually, in advance. Not'
every merchant can be certain of be
ing in business for the year, and to,
pay in July to do business, the follow
ing June, is a long stretch, an unjust
one, for a merchant might be out of
business six months after paying the
twelve months "privilege," while the
merchant that is a permanency, who
contributes to every local, effort to pro
mote his city's welfare, has to be out
of his money at least six months, with
out having a cent's worth of municipal
protection, or any certain guarantee
of a protection during the twelve
months.
Does the city need this money so
badly, that it is worth crippling its
mercantile dealers to get it? For once
let this "privilege" enforcement go
into full effect, as ordered by the pres
ent city administration, and there will
be empty stores and empty offices, that
mean serious loss in every way to the
Interests of New Bern.
THE SMALL MERCHANT IMPOR
TANT TO THE COMMUNITY.
When it was said by a local mer
chant, that the "privilege" license tax
established by the present board of
aldermen, if enforced, Would mean
the extermination of the small mer
chant In New Bern, a bystander re
marked, "so much the better for you.
It would be unjust to charge the
present board of aldermen with the
design, in making the "privilege" li
cense tax they have,' with any such
purpose, as that of trying to put the
small merchant out of business, and
so throw all the trade to the large
merchant, who might be able to pay
the tax assessed against him. But
this large "privilege" tax, surely and
effectively operates to the elimination
of the small merchant The passing
away of the small merchant would in
some degree help the larger merchant
But the small merchant, that is the
one whose yearly sales might' run
from one to two thousand dollars,
what is his status in 4hT community
In the first place, he is located in a
section away- from the larger stores.
His stocks are usually those for daily
consumption, ; groceries, soft drinks,
some few articles of dry goods.- His
customers are those whose purchases
are small, because they are people of
moderate means, working on wages,
The small merchant is all important
to them, because) they can buy of him
in quantities to meet their wages; that
they would have trouble in doing, if
they had time to go the large mer
chant The large merchant jobs to
the small merchant, and sothe large
merchant indirectly sells to the poor
er : clasi of "trade,- that would not b
his, if the small merchant did not
exist The small merchant Is an ad
ditional tax payer, if he is not., as
sessed beyond his source of revenue.
The small merchant is the beginning
in most instances of the large mer
chant It is a field that presents a
possible opening for the young man
of moderate means but who is pos
sessed with energy and ambition. One
who is honest and economical. It is
a mercantile field that ought to be
encouraged, not taxed out of existence
for the present "privllego" tax means
that the small merchant must go.:

Troubles of the Stomach, "Heart or
Kidneys, are merely symptoms of a
deeper ailment Don't make the com
mon error of treating symptoms only.
Symptom, treatment is treating tha re
sult of your aliment, and not the
cause. Weak Stomach nerves the
Inside, nerves mean Stomach' weak
ness, always. And the Heart,' and
Kidneys as well, have their controll

nerves, and yon inevitably have weak

At Court's Action in the Eallrml LIU
gatloa at Ashetllle.
Greensboro, July 1. Nobody .here
was surprised at the outcome of ths
railroad hearings at Asheville last
week. The continuance of the injunc
tion until October for tha purpose of
taking evidence, and receiving a report
from ex-Judge Montgomery Is regard
ed as deferential way of letting - ths
state and the legislature down by de
grees. The most surprise is expressed
at the intimation that any private citi
zen .who should sue the railroad in a
state court under authority of a stats
law, tor refusal to sell tickets at re
duced fare, might be guilty of, con- -tempt
of Judge , Prltchard's ' federal
Jurisdiction. . An eminent Republican '
lawyer here, says this cannot be so. .
He says anybody has a right to bring -
suit In the state courts until further
way the railroad can Interfere is to get
a Federal Judge to Ibbuo an order re
straining him from prosecuting ths
suit in the state courts unit! further
disposition of the question of consti
tutionality of the. legislative act, 1
There are several citlsens of Greens
boro, one of them the mother-in-law of
Judge Douglas and grandmother of
Editor Douglas of the Industrial News,
who have been specifically enjoined
from bringing' suits against the rail
road to test the railroads ' right ta
build a double track where a single
track runs over their lands in. this city.,
But to say citizens cannot bring a suit
against the railroad In the shape of ft
proclamation in the nature of a warn
ing that it might be a contempt of
Judge Prltchard's court this lawyer
says is going entirely too far and will
serve more to arouse than frighten
many freemen. - , : j-'
