NEW TOWN GOVERNMENT.
The ticket nominated by the
mass meeting last Friday night
is a good ticket composed, of
some of the best men of the
town. It is likely however they
will be opposed by other tick
ets, composed of equally good
men. Be that as it may, we
want to see the new town Gov
ernment, that will come into
power early in May adopt bet
ter and more business like
methods in conducting the town
affairs, than have maintained
heretofore. We do not mean to
reject on any body connected
with the management of the
town, but the old methods by
which this town and many oth
ers hare been managed are out
of date and can not be efficient.
The whole principle is wrong.
It is not just to ask seven men
to neglect their own private
business and devote their time
to the affairs of the public, with
out compensation and at the
same time bear a lot of abuse
and criticism. It is no more
just than it would be for the
Carolina & North-Western Rail
way Company to ask the man
agement of the company, to,
give of their time free to the!
management of its affairs. Or
for a Cotton Mill or Furniture j
Factory to ask its employees to!
work a libera part of the time j
for no nav. Of course the town !
is not in a position to pay all its
seven commissioners salaries
but it is able to pay one of them
or some other good man, to de
vote his entire time to the in
terests of the town. In other
have dismissed the matter with
many citizens and they all agree
that it would be a step in the
right direction, so we believe
the people will stand back of
the new administration in such
a move. ' , .

words it would be 4 wise and
business like step for the new
administration to empty a Gen
eral Manager, place him tinder
bond, define his duties, pay him
& reasonable salary and then de
mand of him service commensu
rate with his pay. The present
charter of the town provides for
just such a proceeding and any
one who does not think so can
look at the laws of 1883 page
739 and see. This would put
the affairs on a business basis
and then the commissioners
could meet monthly or quarter
ly and map out work for the
manager to execute and hold
him responsible for every dollar
of the towns money that was ex
pended and require him to pub
lish quarterly reports of re
ceipts and disbursements. The

Which Shall It Be?
Do yon intend to continue laboring,
burning valuable fuel and destroying high
priced food with that old worn. oat cook
stovet
You know that old stove eats up a lot
of fuel each year.
Yon know too have trouble in rattinir it
to bake just 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 you to buy a good
range a range with a reputation

and Charcoa Iron Range?
You make no mistake in buying the GREAT
MAJESTIC it's the range with THE REPU
TATION ask your neighbors. Then, too, it's
made just right and of the right kind of mater
ial MALLEABLE AND CHARCOAL IRON

able can't break has a movable reservoir and
an oven that don't warp that.s why the MA
JESTIC uses so little fuel, bakes just right
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
monstration week, see the fiRRAT MA TIPS-
