Springfield Republican.

Springfield Republican.
Congressman Moody's recent state
ment that all Massachusetts cities own
their water-works has been questioned,
but it is pretty nearly true. AN cities
of 10000 or more population own and
operate their own water systems with
the single exception Of SOmerville, which
owns the distributing system only. Most
OF the smaller cities and large villages
have also done away with private en-
terpriseS i'm that direction. Municipal
socialism in this particular has made a
greater advance in Massachusetts, we
believe than in any other State.

Views and Interviews.

1.-THE Alliance shoe factory at Hills
boro is getting alon very nicely" said
business Agent Parker yesterday. I'VE
are making about forty pairs a day ala
are finding good sale for them. Our d.
pacity is about so pairs day. The
factofy will be in operation certainly
until January 1st, and longer If demand
for the product justifies. We are not
irving to make cheap shoe, we ore
making a good one. There will be, we
think, a great demand for just such q
shoe if we can ever get it introduced on
the market"
Mr.. Dempsey Wood, of LenOir county,
was i'm the city yesterday. He contem-
plates no trouble in his section next
campaign ON the question of the consti
tutional amendment.
THE white people in my section" re
said, "are united. There was no divi-
sion of sentiment as to the amendment
to start with, and the further the thing
goes the more unanimous the people If
all Eastern North Carolina will be on
the question"
"The papers this morning are in err
ror" said Chairman Mcneil, of the
Corporation Commission, yesterday.
THE fertilizer rate case did not go
over because the Commission had failed
to file the evidence on which it made the
rate. but for the reason that sufficient
time was not left the court in which TO
properly hear the case. The section of
the law requiring the Commission to
file ON appeal the evidence on which
it based the rate is simply directory
and not mandatory. In the court the case
is to be tried de nOvo and the evidence
heard by the Commission In fixing the
rate is not considered, unless brought
out anew i'm court. We will, however,
file this evidence. and the case will be
heard ON December 11th.'
Noting what you say in today's paper
in regard to the Gingko tree OF Japan,
Prof w F. Massey, of the A. and NJ.
College, writes: Il would say that 1T -
by no means a new thing i'm Raleigh,
since there is probably one of the Oldest
of these trees in this country IN the yard
of the old Busbee place ON corner of Sal
isbury and Hargett streets. 1t is GER
tainly older than the trees at the Depart
ment at Washington. There are smaller
trees in various places in Raleigh, one of
which have noticed in the front Of Mr..
julius Lewis lawn. The tree is curious
rather than beautiful. 1t has been used
as an avenue tree at the Agricultural
Department in Washington, but in our
opinion makes a poor avenue tree. Lin
dens or sugar NAPLES are far better. We
have Il quantity of the nuts from Wash
ington, and will plant them so that amy
onp i'm the f1tl1rp who wants such a tree
can be supplied. But we have MANY
moro handsome native trees, and as to
eating the nuts it would require taste
for bad fish and pine turpentine c0mbin-
al. The tree is decidu0us confer of
ne same order as our pines, and the
leaves resemble pine leaves grown to-
gether in the shape of a fan. 1T was for
merly called Salisburia Adiantifolia or
Maiden hair tree, hut later botanists
have adopted the native name and added
the specific one of Biloba to indicate the
two l0bes of the leaf so that the botani-
cal name is now Gingko Biloba"

counties show enough Taylor pluralities
70 wipe this ont and leave a margin. for
the Republican candidate Much de-
nendS. however, upon contests being
made in several counties ON the ground
OF alleged irregularities.
The determination of these points may
cause change from present estimates
of the results. The official count has
shown that the two candidates for Gov
crnor ran far ahead of their tickets all
over the State. Goehel is leading it by
an average of over % votes to the coun-
~. In Grayson county, where the
Democratic bolt was strong, he leads the
ticket by 80 votes.
Taylor appears to be leading his tick
ct by an even greater average than Goe-
bel In Grayson county Taylor leads
over Marshal, the candidate for Lieu
tenant Governor by 1874 votes. In Tay
lon county Goebel leads his ticket by 80
and TAYLOR by 30. In this city very
slight changes were made. 1t requires
several days to finish the count, how
ever. as bitter disputes have arisen in
several wards.
CONTESTS ARE INEVITABLE.
Frankfort, KY. Nov. 11.-It is ru-
mOred that Congressman David Smith,
of the Campaign committee, has given
UP the claim that Goebel has been elect
ed, but this cannot be verified. The ru-
NOR is pronounced false by Goebel lead
ers here. GoebePs election is strongly
claimed hut no figures are given. Re
publican leaders figure Taylor's election
by 5000 or more tonight, basing their
estimates ON unexpected gains shown by
returns coming in late today. Contests
are inevitable and they will be ably
argued before the State Election Board
by legal counsel on both sides as to the
law bearing on each particular case.

Columbus, Ohio, Nov. 11.-Chairman
Dick. of the Republican State commit
tee says today that Caldwell (Rep.), for
Lieutenant Governor about whose cleo
ton there was some question, will have
about 1900 plurality. Eighty-five coun-
ties give him 10,002, and the three yet
to hear from gave Nash for Governor,

The total Jones vote in the State is
estimated at 100000.
Sixty-nine counies have been heard
