OUR NEXT GOVERNOR.
IMPORTANT ELECTION,
The town election to be held next
Monday is of more importance to
the people of Greenville than any
in they are to participate
this year, excepting neither
county, state nor national election.
The next board of aldermen will
have important duties to perform
and the interest of the town be
affected largely by what they do-
There should be a b of alder-
men that will work in conjunction
with the board of internal improve-
in installing electric lights,
water works and better streets to
the best advantage of the town. It
should be a board that will also
carefully guard the expenditure of
money by economizing at every
point so as to make reasonably
light the burden of taxation upon
the people. Too high taxation will
drive people from the town rather
than draw them.
Judge George H. Brown, Jr.,
declined to hear the case against
the lawyers, referred to
him by Judge Peebles He had
good reasons for not In it.
Events of the past week in North
Carolina show more conclusively
than ever that the power vested in
judges to send people to jail on
the charge of contempt should
taken from them. It gives a man
opportunity to stand behind his
Official position and use the power
thereof in a spirit of revenge. It is
a dangerous law and should be
changed. A judge should have no
power to impose a sentence on any
man until the guilt of the man has
been d upon by a jury of his
countrymen. If a judge has a
grievance against a man let him
carry it before a jury as other people j
hare to do.
