Streets to bo Decorated nd Mili.ary Ball Planned, . tig The town council In regular s'.^sion on June 18tb, 1928. adopted the PrivilegfeTixSched* ole for 1928 and ordered that no tices,be posted that alt persons, firms and corporations doing business in Raeford that are subject to PRIVILEGE TAX and do not procure LICENSE be good to those who enjoy the privilege. And, our political privileges, what of them? The tendency toward a centralized government gains with time. The public school system in this State cen ters in Raleigh, and the new county government laws are modeled after the school law. A great educator is the father of both the school and county gov ernment laws; both of which proclaim the fact that the au thOr of both had no faith in th*^ people. The editor of The Jour nal has been of opinion that our people are capable of self gov ernment, but they tell us nay! Kut the school affairs are die tated and directed from the Statc^ Superintendent’s office in Ral eigh, and now county govern ment is administered from its head in the capitol city. Boards of education take their directions from their boss, and so do boards of county commissioners These bosses in Raleigh figure up the vast amounts of money that must be raised for the sev era! purposes, and whether the taxpayers are able to pay the amounts demanded, and when they fail, orders are issued for the sale of all they have, with DO appaient thought of the fu ture welfare of these subjects. When the people all become ten auta, the rental will go toward paying governmental expenses; 80 the centralized government will fare alright. But such a state of affairs may not be very desirable, but this is the present tendency. The State school system de manded the present county gov ernmer.t system, and of necessi ty had to come. There w’as no visible way of raising the needed revenue. We are glad Judge Grady has spoken, for he sees the new laws as does the writer, and the voice of the little insig nificant editor of Hoke County Journal was the only voice raised against the new county government laws in the Genera! Assembly of 1927. Right or wrong, foolish or wise, this is the truth. Five laws, the Smo ky Mountain Park law, and four new county government laws, were opposed by the writsr only We are not boasting, but we are a little proud of the fact that a man of some prominence has expressed the same views we did in the last Legislature, and we feel rateful to Judge Grady. We note that Gov, McLean came to the defense of the new county rgovenment laws; they were sponsored by the Governor is the reason they passed; and * we note further that Accuntant Ralph L. Steele of Raleigh also came to the defense of the new laws in Monday’s, (ll)N.'wsand Oliserver. Here is the secret, r'ellowcitizens: The n w CiMiniy Government Laws make provis Ion for Accredited Accountants, and this was one of the grounds for our - objections to the new laws, for the pay they get is an aided expense to the already overburdened taxpayers, and these laws centralize all county goyarnmeot in Raleigh, turns nut the best lawyers in any law school in the State it is said. The News and Observer says the Di-mocratic party is now’^ a united party simfe the State convention. That depends upon whom the party nominates at Houston. If Al Smith is nomi- n.ated, all hope for a uni'ed party is blighterl; but the Smith advo’ cates think if Smith is nnraina’ ted he will draw enough wet Re public ins to coiintert>alance the loss of malcontents in the party. We will see what we will see. The State c invention dls proved the claims of strength of Smith following in this state. Upon a strict count, if such a thing w’ere possible, not more than one tenth of the Democrat ic strength of Nnrth Carolina are for Smith for President. We be lieve not more than one in 20 favor the New Yorker in Hoke county. But those who favor him make it known, while those who oppose bay nothing at all. or very little The L'chI Legif'h Post signed aconitaci today with the Wash ingion D"C''ra iitg C«»mo ny t(' di'Corate oH of tli- down town, 8 reets in pr**par.iti oi lor iheir'P*^*®*^ Mammoth July 4th (’eojbrHiiim, (Prosecuted according to law.

With the return of many boys ind girls who have been away daring the winter, interest is being revived in the young peo ple’s choir which was started last summer.
