Our esteemed friend Mr. Sav
age, of Blowing Rock, takes is
sue with us in regard to the ex
ecution of two of the Allen gang
connected with the awful Hills
jille tragedy. We are glad to
publish his communication and
join heartily with him in wish
ing the time may soon come
when the reign of the Savior's
teachings, will have full sway
over and control the lives and
actions of mankind. But that
time has not yet arrived, and
until it does come, human laws

By an oversight of the School
Trustees, or some body charged
with the duty, the notice for the
election on Graded School
bonds, as provided for in an act
of the recent Legislature, has
not been published therefore no
election on this question can le
gally be held on May the 1st as
the law directs. This will leave
the school in the present condi
tion until another meeting of
the Legislature, which will pos
sibly be held in the fall of this
year. It is unfortunate that
the trustees must continue to re
new obligations at high rates of
interest, which were intended to
be provided for by a bond issue
at a lower rate.
this issue from th pea of Rev.
C T. Squires, is good and will
meet with hearty endorsement,
from many persons, but those
who advocated thd tried to put
those Ideas into laws, by the re
cent Legislature, failed. There
is therefore no remedy availa
ble until the re assembling of
the General Assembly, in the
mean time what is to be done
with the conditions that con
front the town and the Graded
School?
We are publishing in this is
sue a comprehensive and accu
rate financial statement of the
condition of the Graded School
as prepared by Messrs. S. S.
Jennings and E. F- Allen, two
expert accountants. This is
right and proper that such a
statement be made public and
we trust the town authorities
will do likewise at the proper
time.

Which Shall It Be?
Do you intend to continue laboring,
burniDg valuable fuel and destroying high
priced food with that id worn out cook
stove?
You know that old stove eats np a lot
of fuel each year.
You know you have trouble in getting it
to bake jst right, in fact, spoil a batch of
bread every once in a while you know it
costs considerable for yearly repairs.
Stop and think and figure.
Wouldn't it pay vpu to bay a good
range a range with a reputatiou

every day in 'the year (browns bread just right
all over without turning), heats 15 gallons of
water while breakfast is cooking- properly
handled lasts a lifetime, and costs pratically
nothing for repairs.
Don't buy the range you expect to last a life
time, "unsight unseen," you'll be sure to be
disappointed. Come to our store during de
