WHAT ARE TOWN CHARTERS FOR
According to the interpretation
of some lawyers, charters enacted
for the government of towns are in-
operative and worthless. Suit has
been brought against the town of
Spencer because under its charter
a higher rate of taxes is levied and
collected than the rate prescribed
in the general law of the state.
This reminds us that right here in
Greenville men asserting knowledge
of law have set up the charge that
the mayor and aldermen of the
town are usurpers in office because
they were elected under the charter
enacted for the government of the
town instead of under the general
law enacted for the state. This
leads us to ask two
What is the use of having a charter
if its provisions cannot be carried
oat And why is not a charter
enacted for a town by the
just as legal as a general law
enacted for the state by the same

strange things said in the name of
law, but in both the above instances
it looks more like playing for

The writer does not know whether
the conditions prevailing here are
prevalent in other North Carolina
towns, but taking it for granted
that they are, it is really ghastly to
think about the amount of
medicines, if they can be dignified
by the name of medicine, which are
swallowed by young men and
women daily. The conditions
here are really something horrible
in some cases- The things that
people take are astonishing. For
example. I hoar of a lady in this
city who each week drinks two
quarts of bay rum. She used to
drink cologne, but has now gone
beyond that Then there are
others who drink in

the amount of half a dollar's worth
a day. There are men who take
with its per cent of
of alcohol and all sorts of coal tar
products besides, in such quantities
as t o stagger belief. There are
men, young men, who wake up in
the morning with that dark brown
taste in their mouths, who
hold a hand steady or do one thing
on earth until they have had a few
pulls at a cigarette, of course in-
haling the smoke, and then taking
a dose of some one of those dreadful
Then there are the coco-cola fiends

their have it sent to them
at their places of business all times
of day, and then repeat their
to the drug stores. How one signs
for the golden days, even say
years ago, when the cigarette and
the dope drinks were not abroad in
the land, and when people who
went to soda fountains were happy
in drinking soda water, lemonade
and that sort of thing. The whole
matter is not treated in any spirit
of jest, but as one of the most dis-

of reaching them, unless some law
will do it. It appears that there

Alfred Henry Lewis, who con
tributes a political letter from.
Washington to The Saturday Eve-
Post every week, is
interesting though his wonderful
satisfaction with himself as shown
by his off-hand setting of tho
greatest problems, is anything but
pleasing to the reader. In a re-
cent issue, however, he threw some
light on the darkness of the
dental expenses of the United
States He gave a number
of the items for which the govern-
thorn being
pocket knives, toilet articles, man-
sets, and apparently some-
thing of everything for which the
usual family can find any use, it
being especially noted that a large
quantity of soap was included. It
appears that these expenses together
with the salary, mileage and allow-
for secretaries, amounts to an
average of a year for each
senator, and Mr. Lewis suggests
that the salary be raised to that
sum and thus avoid the injury to
senatorial consciences. The
tors may need the money, but this
increase for the reason given would
establish a dangerous precedent.

Arc Country Schools Worth While.
Had there been no change in the
conditions prevailing between 1880
and 1900, tho population of country
districts would cease to increase by
1910. The rate of increase is much
greater in cities than elsewhere, and
though the country population is
increasing slowly, the proportion of
the inhabitants of the United States
living in the country was smaller in
1900 than it was in 1890, The
causes of the tendency to leave

them is plainly the fact that superior

Looking back over tho record of
congress, there was little legislation
affecting North Carolina in a local
sense. Tho only two measures of
importance that could be pushed
through the grist mill wore
Small's bill
for the Hatteras light
house, and the provision in the
river and harbor bill appropriating
for improvement of the
lower Cape Fear. Like all other
democratic states, North Carolina
got little. The delegation,
and collectively, worked with
as much zeal, aggressiveness and
intelligence as any other in the
union, but they had to buck up
against a partisan majority. With
a democratic house, which
look forward to in the fifty-
ninth congress, the state will not
only get the local measures it wishes
but the Appalachian forest reserve
and the Small inland waterway will
be authorized. They are in the
wrong section of the country to at-
tract the favorable attention of a

At the opera house the program

stick his toe and his nose on, that
he stuck hie nose on the place
where the toe ought to be, and
stuck his toe where his nose pro-
belonged. Now, whenever
he wants to blow his nose, he has
to take off bis shoe and stocking.
