' Establishment of short ballot, r election of Governor and -ant Govcraor and appointive . tor admiastrattve officials Mr. Editor: In your issues of Tues day, Jan. !nh. you publish a news item the beadlir.es of which does n.e an injustice. Ym stato "Attorney Clideweli wants an election held." This refers to th' question of tho ne gotiations wlrh the So-ithorn Power Co. about the !;,ht.int: vstem in tlie town of Hr-idvillo. I do not. know who is p.-spon-siblo for the cnmniiitiicat ion or news item m lerred to, but in the interest, of keep ing history straight, I desire to make ; a statement with refcienc.e to the! i.niu r ,nr.i,.,i . i'.ii,.i,,i. i.. i have enacted Into law. As The Re vltw well knows, there nas been con ntderable discussion and negotiation with representatives of tho Southern 1'ower Co. looking towards getting iboir power Into Reidsville. In fact, Tre Reidsvilio Review and many citi zens in the town urged the board of commissioners to commit themselves to securing the power from tho Soluh ern Power Co. for use In Reidsville at the. tirua the American Tobacco Co. was consider! ny locating its ci garette factory in Reidsville. The board of commissioners unanimously committed the town to provide in some way to' secure additional eleo tric power in Reidsville in case the cigarette factory was located here. Having knowledge of these negotia tions, Mayor Cuinmings consulted me as attorney for the town some days ago, with reference to tlw power of the board under existing law to negotiate and deal with a power com pany with reference to our lighting eystem. We examined the law and found that the existing law on the subject provldet that in case of a sale of the electri plant, the question ehould be submitted to the people and the proposition to sell must be carried by a majority of the qualified voters. In order to avoid a contro versy as to who are tho qualified vo ters under the old registration, it was thought best to provide that the mat ter should be submitted to a vote of the people and a majority of the votes cast determine the election, then no controversy could arise aa to who were qualified voters. It was further determined that in case a contract was made to buy power from a power i company that perhaps there would be certain apparatus incident to the run ning of our plant now that would'nct be needed then, and the bill provides that such apparatus as will be no longer useful to ho town may be sold by the commissioners in that event without submitting to a vote of the people. Mayor Cummlngs called a meeting of the Board to discuss this matter, and at that meeting I was in, structed unanimously by those pres ent to prepare such a bill and submit to them at a '-subsequent' meeting, for consideration. I prepared the bill and at another call meeting of tho Board f submitted tho bill to the Board and it was adopted with one dissenting vote, and I was instructed to present the same to the hegisla1 ture. Commissioner Scott was not present at this mec but I had discussed the mailer with him and he was In favor of hnv'-j the bill paased. This bill does not commit the town to anything with roferenee to our lighting system. It simply gives to the Board the necessary power to act when It is determined what the people of Reidsville dosire to be done. I see no cause for excitement f.bout the matter. Tho members of (he Board, all of the-m. are as anxious to do what the people of the town really desire in the matter as The Review and I am sure that I have no Interest in the matter except as at torney for the Board and as.'a'clti zen of the town. I certainly have no axe to grind, and I represent no one in connection with the matter ex. cept the Board of Commissioners of the town- of Reidsville, and through them the people of Reidsville to see that the legal rights of the town are presf rved and looked after in this matter. '. I note that The Review criticises Indirectly the Board for providing for an election on the question in case a sale should be considered. This Is rather strange position for The Re view to take in view of the past po sition with reference to submitting questions to the vote of the people It hasn't been very long since The Review criticised severely some citl sena of this county for refusing to allow the people of this county to rot on the location of their court Douse, and it is my recollection that The Reirew advocated the sale of the lectric light plant to the Southern Power Co.' had been completed to ReidsvlU. X am not sekin: any controversy bout this. inatUr thai "rq'irs -. Editor of 'l'he Kevlew: j 1 .see in your issue of January 9th ; ;t jip,jin.-.ii ion up before the Cly jfouncil of selling your linhting plant. As a property owner of Reidsville, j l lake the liberty of asking space to enter my protest against this ''proposition. 1 have no doubt but j what tha Public Utilities Company, U subsidiary of the Southern Power i Company is in fact, a joint corpora tion with, tho Georgia Railway and t.'iiwtrie CoiiHianv. and houtn Caro lina '-Electric Company, which great :-hain of companies practically con- ; i o nil the lighting una power in. me south, and there is no question in my mind that their methods are not what they should be in acquiring mu mutiicipal franchises and 1 hope that Reidsville will not give to outside eornorattons any control whatever over the distribution of light and power to her citizens. It may be all right to buy current at wholesale from this corporation and retain your valuable franchise, for at tho expiration of any lease they might make, you would find that Reidsville, in the matter of light and power, would be at the inp-rcy of this corporation. Just to givo you some Idea of the methods of a like corporation: when the Georgia Railway & Power Com pany wanted to get franchises for the car line Into Marrietta the mayor of the town. It is alleged, who was an attorney, was employed by them at a fancy price to do some special work and in addition to endeavor to get a franchise for nothing through the streets of Marietta for this car line. It was stated afterwards that the street car company did not expect to get Into Marietta except through paving all streets through which they had to pass at their expense but, by wire working and underground meth ods thef got lm for nothing, thus' da prlving the city of Marietta of a val uable franchise and property value which they people can never recover. I trust that the bill not be passed rnd that the people of Reidsville will not play into the hands of of cor porate interests which do not hesitate to accomplish What they desire by any means available.

JCHCHCHCH3HQHSHBH9WMOOOOCHSNCHaooCWnnaar WANTS THE OLD VETERANS TO HAVE A SQUARE DEAL Mr. Editor: Please allow me space to call our Representatives' attention to the promises made during the cam paign to see that the old veterans of North Carolina should not be forgotten. Tennessee. Kentucky. Florida Ok lihoma and Missouri pay their needy veterans ten dollars per month; North Carolina $2.75 to $6, according to class. Our statesmen have boasted on the stump and in th3 papers that North Carolina furn'shed more, ksl more, and surrendered more men than any other State in the .South rnd it is estimated that ainety jer cent of the privates never ownci a stove; 75 per cent did not own their about 60 ner cent could not read or write. It is ths class os men that have not been able to earn more than an bumble living when at their best. Now they are worn out; their average age about 75; penny less and, it seems, friendless; and, according to nature, or the time al lotted to man, they will not be with us but a few more years, and as we see it North Carolina, with her im mense wealth and prosperity, can as well afford to pay her needy veterans as any' State in the South. Ten to fifteen dollars per month would be less than half that the Federal sol diers are getting, and we all know that our veterans are more needy than the Northern veterans, and it this Legislature does not come up with a liberal appropriation for these old men and women who served the State without reward or hope of re ward spending their best days in time of need bow can we expect the Lord to bless a people of so little tympathy for their fellow creatures? Respectfully submitted.. THE VETERANS' FRIEND. ReidsTille, N. C. SALE 12c SPECIAL REDUCTION And; Everything Will Go At a Big Reduction In Price.
