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. STEADMAN GOVERNOR. HON. ROBERT B. GLENN.
