people are very glad to hear that the steady.
plodding perseverance OF Mr.. C. w. Beehlsr
has been rewarded. For more than four
years they have watched. obviously. as he
has been digging the prehistoric animal
bones from the hill q half mile west of here.
The village wiseacres are all set in confu-
sion because the Worlds Fair Commission
considers the bones Of sufficient Importance
to hs gathered and exhibited In the Louisi-
ana Purchase Museum in 1903
Bsehler, to tell the truth, has been con-
Adered . man sadly lacking in mental
~sQuipoiss. or good sense. because he has
devoted SO mitch time to turning up the
bones. He came here In 1888 searching for
silica and happened to sec some bones taken
from the hill while eating dinner at August
Millers house. which Is Just across the
road. The next day the neighborhood
heard that Miller had leased or practically
sold his worthless hill to Beehler. and
everybody In the neighborhood wondered
what the new man would do with 1t.
He set up . tent and began to work In
he hiu with . trowel like use
and borrowed q hoe from Miller and dug the
bones from the ground And he has been
doing thas since
People Old not know what to make OF
MN down there until the newspapers began
70 have large articles about the hill and
many men came down from st. Louis with
satcnels ana ammers and began 70 KNOCK

all that city requires to make it at
tractive, sweet and altogether lovely.
Some of our people think that water
of the right kind and right price would
not be entirely out of place, and now
and then some of us bent on duty or
pleasure would like light of our own to
tighten our paths and gladden. our hearts,
but if these street improvements are to
absorb all cur cash and destroy our
credit, how will the city ever acquire
either a water or lighting plant?
1T mag be said our credit is high
per cent bonds having been sold for a
good premium. This is certainly true,
there having been no better city bonds in
the South than those issued by the city
of Raleigh, but how long will this be so :?
Just SO long as the public debt remains
less than 10 per cent of the value of our
property, and the tax rate is not over
$1.30. Whenever you increase the debt
beyond this you alarm investors, and
whenever city taxes are more than $1.30
they become burdensome. Another very
serious objection to a bond issue, is the
character of the stone used in the work
That it is too soft is potent to every
one, and it is very doubtful if those
streets, over which the traffic is heaviest
and which are outlets to the city, will
not in few years have to be again
macadamized to make them passable.
ut has been stated that the opponents
of the bond issue are those OF our citi-
zens who are now enjoying the luxury of
macadamzed streets. This assertion is
both unjust and untrue. Are those people
to be charged with such selfshness and
such lack of public spirit because they
have an opinion and dare to express it?
Is man living on Hillsboro street, for
instance, one of the great thoroughfares
leading into the city from the West, and
used by citizens of three counties, in ad-
dition to nearly all of the people of Raj
eigh who desire to go to the park, to the
college or to the Fair grounds, to be
charged with a bad motive because he
thinks it inexpedient and undesirable to
macadamize the streets of Fowle's vine
yard or the Watson fields? Neither is
it true that the opposition is confined to
those sections of the city. 1t is true that.
a burned child breads the fire, and hav
ing been assessed so cents per front foot
for the macadam and as much more for
the side walk, they know by experience
that if this thing goes on it will amount
almost to confscation in the thinly set
tied sections where the property is much
less valuable They also know that prog
ress in expenditures should keep step
with increased values. The increased
values should lead, rather than increased
expense. This is as true of a city as of
an individual violation of this law
first brings ANNOYANCE and unhapDiness
and eventually discredit and dishonor."

NOT COD-LIVER OIL

but SCOTS emulsion of cod
liver oil. They are not the
same; far from it.
SCOTS emulsion is cod-liver
oil prepared for the stomach.
Let cod-liver oil alone if you
need it. When your physician
orders toast, do you breakfast
on flour?
Pure cod-liver oil is hard to
take and hard to digest. A
man that can keep it down,
can saw wood. He thinks he
is sick; he is lazy.
