other is that every body in, Char
lotte has good word for the city
and the entire community works
In harmony for the upbuildIng of
the whole. So pregnant is the
whole atmosphere of the place
with this sentiment and spirit
that the visitor before he has been
there lona finds himself Ginning
in and singing the praises of the
city. That is city after my own
heart, for 1T seems to me to be so
patent that even a fool ought to
see that no town or city can grow
when one part of the population
always pulling against another
part and to have a whole lot of
croakers and grumblers at every
suggestion of advancement or I'M
provement. Or again to be always
talking about saving dollar or
two when 1t comes to public i'm
provements. | am not an advo-
cate of wasteful extravaganza,
but you can't make public I'M
provements without spending
money, and when it is judIciously
spent or put where the people can
see and enjoy the benefit they are
not going to do much kicking
about it.
Charlotte has macadam roads
leading into the city rom every
direction. Mecklenburg county
has spent thousands of dollars in
building good roads. And it has
paid her in dollars and cents, not
to speak of the comfort and con-
venIence to her citizens. All the
bad weather Of this winter they
did not know what bad road
was. But she goes to work and
builds good road and then takes
up another.

mediate attempt was made to
cut the young man down, but
before this could be accomplish
ed the man had been choked to
unconsciousness and received a
severe cut in the lower part of
the back of the head. He was
scarcely able to breathe, his
breath coming with a hoarse,
snoring sound that indicated
serious damage inwardly. He
was unconscious, but appeared
to be in such pain that chloriform
had to be administered. He was
taken to the ST. Hubert hotel and
