A COl RSE TO APPRECIATE The decision of Mr. Miller, Mr. Cameron and Mr. Flinchum not to call for a second primary is one that the people of the county will appreciate, not be cause of its settlement in favor of Mr. Spence, Mr. Clegg and Mr. Currie, but from the much broader grounds of public wel fare. The vote that gave Spence- Clegg and Currie a lead ovei" their opponents was evidence of the hig'h standing in which these men are held in the county, and that they both are acceptible to the people. Very correctly it is also deduced that Mr. Miller, Mr. Cameron and Mr. Flinchum are rated highly in the county, but the vote which gave them their rating did not put them ahead of their competitors, nor give them any argument to try anoth er test to reach a leading place. That they might win in another race was open to doubt, and with the chances against them. They accepted the situation, and with out any detriment to their high standing as citizens or business men or good neighbors. They have served a useful purpose in presenting forcefully some views of county and state government, and even though they do not administer the laws they would like to modify or ap ply, the expressions they have given on affairs will have a weight in the coming sessions of legislature and of count govern ment, in the trend of thought in the future and in elections that are yet ahead of us.They are business men of experience, en gaged daily in the affairs of the community, and highly valuable in the affairs of the county in eve»’y way. That their particu lar views’ have not been accept ed by the larger numbbr of vot ers is not of grave moment, for very often the minority is the source from which majority opinions finally come, and Mr. Mille*', Mr. Cameron and Mr. Flinchum are probably as strong in their advocacy of pulilic poli cies as the men who have been chosen for the administration of the laws. The second primary is a prob lem that has not yet presented a .satisfactory .solution. Perhap.s nothing better can be devised than the present method of de termining the nominating elec tion. Yet the people will appre ciate the attitude of these men in declining to put on the county the burden of another election when the desire of the people seems pretty well satisfied with the results as they stand. Also it is to be remembered that a min ority on the outside is a valua ble agency in government, for it frequently holds in check a ma jority on the inside. And even the majority does not always have a monopoly of all the wi.s- dom in the world. money has to come from the ; head, for he knows more about taxpayer, unless a wise Congress j what to do at Raleigh than prob- knows some other source, which ably any of the rest of us who we would all be glad to learn is : stay at home.

Perhaps the purchase of a great quantity of silver may do the trick, but when Senator Fess asked, as sil ver was under discussion, how will the man who wants the mon ey g-et it when silver has been added in large quantities to the treasury stock ?” the answer was not forthcoming. There is no lack of money today. The treas ury is full of it. The reserve banks are piled full. But the man who wants it cannot coax it out putting salt on the tail of the birdie on the dollar, nor is there any other way to get it c.<;rept by giving something in return, and that is the trouble now. To get silver for the treasury it must be bought and paid for. To buy it takes money, and that “Libraries closed and thousands being spent for swimming holes — that’s another! “College deans paid less than $2,- 000 and crooners $75,000; School teachers $40 a month and the com monest of unskilled labor $60.

TELEPHONE SERVICE Editor, The Pilot: During the winter mucii complaint was heard locally of the service ren dered by the Central Carolina Tele phone Company. The company’s ex cuse that Its present equipment for Southern Pines and Pinehurst was not adequate to carry the heavy winter load was accepted.
