argued that if a private company
could make money furnishing
water and lights, the whole
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
lights. It is owned by the city,
but the city pays the Water and
Light Board for water and lights
just as private consumers pay
and the management knows to a
cent the cost of operation and
the receipts.

it is solved. The best men in

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.

Mr. Whedbee spoke first of his
profound reverence for the house
of God, his respect for the true
minister of Christ, and among
those who public opinion
and influence men for good, he
the minister of the Gospel
the first place. He made an
earnest appeal to all Christians
present to give to their minister
not only their moral support in
every thing, but that the church
has a business side to it, and
that for the class of men meas-
by ability, general prep-
character and the man-
demands made upon their
time and talent, that they are the
poorest paid class of men he knew.
He pointedly urged larger
and more prompt payment
of their work.

This occasion has a meaning,
we Christian brethren, men of
different denominations, are
gathered for one purpose. This
is a time when we do well to
speak of Christian unity. I long
for the town of Greenville to

example of Christian fellowship
and cooperation. Let us re-
