ought to enjoy these modern
necessities at the lowest possible
cost without any profit to middle-

in every community where
its town officials were too wise to
give away franchises for a song.
Here the management of these
public utilities is admirable. A
board composed of solid business
has control of water and

but the city pays the Water and
Light Board for water and lights
just as private consumers pay
and the management knows to a

No town has better
facilities. The Atlantic
Coast Line and the Norfolk arid
Southern Railroads gives fine
mail and passenger and
service, and the boats on the
river for heavy freight insures
the advantage which competition
always gives to a town. Before
there was any railroad here
Greenville enjoyed a large trade
and its water transportation
enabled it to sell cheaply. It has
not lost the river and possible
water transportation and if
freight rates go up it can protect
itself by shipping by water, a
chance for self-preservation not
enjoyed by inland towns. A
few years ago it was easier to go
to New York from Raleigh than
to come here from the State's
capital. A Greenville citizen
would have to snatch early
breakfast in order to get to
Raleigh for an early supper.
Now he can eat supper at home
and get to Raleigh at ten o'clock.
