You know that one of our committees was
charged with the duty of providing mounts
for the Rough Riders and Squadron A of
the New York National Guard for that oc-

learn their wishes. The New York cavalry
men gave the desired information regard
Ing their strength ETC., and said they had
no suggestions to make about the mounts,
indicating that they would be prepared to
ride any horses the committee provided for
them.
But, marvellous to relate, the Rough
Riders were not easily satisfied. They
wanted the committee to be sure to provide
them with well-tralned and experienced
horses. and said so. That struck me as

To remedy these conditions a bill Is pend

ably reported by the House committee on
military affairs, appropriating 100000 for
the purchase and refitting of the old Scheut-

used as temporary home for the volunteer
soldiers of all American wars. 1t Is pro-

statement is made:
There are forty-seven inmates in the
home at this time. They are crowded into
about five bed rooms. In one room, four
teen by sixteen feet, there are seventeen
men sleeping, with one window. Another
room, about twelve by fifteen feet, is occu-
pied by ten men. The toilets and water
closets are, from necessity, open and in
plain view of one of the bed rooms. There
is no hospital nor any accommodation
whatever to care for the sick, and when the

more than half of them sick, and the sick

CHIEF BUSINESS OF LIFE.

The people of Troy are soon to vote
on a proposition to establish a graded
school The Montgomerian truly says
that zone of the first questions a man
asks when he is considering new To-
cation for a home is, what are the
school advantages"
Bill Arp said that the only business
in life that concerned most men was
the business of raising children. A
young man is ambitious for himself,
but when children come to bless his
home his personal ambitions are
buried in the desire to educate his
children and give them better chance
in life than he had Most men de-
termine their home by two considera-
tions l. Where they can get the best
pay for their labor; 2. where they
can get the best advantages for their
children. In this day, when there Is
everywhere a demand f5r labor and for
skill, the live town that establishes the
best graded school is going to get the
pick of the men of industry, capital
and brains. No town that wishes to
grow can afford to neglect to provide
a good public school for all its chill
dren. AS one evidence of the value
people put upon education and schools
we copy the following editorial from
this weeks Asheboro Courier;
"At the sale of lots on last Monday
i'm this town many prospective pur-
chasers said, are you really going 10
build a modern up-to-date school
building? If so | want lot ana want
to build and move my family to Ashe-
boro. There is always work TO 40
where a, town has good schools. An
other said, if you Asheboro people
mean business about building this new
public school building, l will invest
some money in your town, and improve
the property. / know 1t will be good
investment"
The best money investment a.town
can make is to establish a good graded
school and erect commodious and
modern school buildings. The town
that neglects this is sure to be left in
the race of progress.

WHY THEY HATE WATTS LAW.

The Radical politicians, with a few
notable exceptions), whether doodles
or higher up in office, rave and foam
at the mouth at the mention of the
Watts law They are particularly vi

officials for not enforcing it. Their
venom is so pronounced that some
people cannot understand it.
Why do they hate the Watts law
so much? The answer is easy. Be
