There has been considerable talk
about negro census enumerators In
the Democratic press; this Is what
the Statesville Landmark has to say
about the matter:
1.-The truth is, Democratic Con-
gressmen were expecting to get some
pie for their constituents in the dis
tribution of the census jobs. Failing
In this, the color line Is raised for q
purpose.

THE GREENSBORO DAILY NEWS.

On last Sunday morning the
Greensboro Daily News appeared In
a handsome thirty-two-page edition.
The paper is revival of the old
Daily Industrial News. and Is that
paper in dress and appearance except
as to a new heading.
A new company has been formed
to take over the plant of the former
company, and of course the stock.
holders in the old company have all
lost their stock and have no interest
in the new paper unless they have
taken stock in the new company.
Mr.. 2. P. Smith, of Raleigh, Is an.
nounced as editor and manager oil
the paper. In his salutatory or fore.
word" as he calls it, he says:
Let it then be understood
that the News is Republican In
politics, without any qualifying
adjective or explanatory phrase.
But at the same time, let it be
equally well understood that the
News is not the representative
Or mouthpiece of any clique or
faction within the party. and
sincerely hopes that no cliques
Or factions will arise to retard
the growth Of the party in the
State or to jeopardize the sue
cess which Is now 50 nearly
within the party's grasp"
We wish to congratulate Mr.. Smith
not only upon the creditable appear.
ance of the first issue Of the News
but especially upon the announce
ment of his policy. II Mr.. Smith car
succeed in conducting the paper or
the high plane Of his announcement
he will deserve to succeed.
There is large and inviting field
in North Carolina for a high-class
daily Republican newspaper. Be
sides, there is no better local field
in the State for such a paper to bs
published than at Greensboro and
further, no other town can excel Il
as distributing point for the whole
State. But il this paper il to sue
coed, 1t must steer clear of the mar
row, vindicive and reactionary polio,
which was fatal to the Daily Indus
trial News. and we are glad to not.
that Mr.. Smith shows from his an
nouncement that he comprehend,
clearly this situation and that he will
conduct the paper on a high. broat
and progressive plane, and we sin
cerely trust that he will be permit
ted to do so.

MOREHEAD FOR GOVERNOR.
A Burke County Republican Think
His Party Could Not Do Better.
Charlotte Observer

Charlotte Observer
Some time since Red Buck. in an
article from Washington. said that
"Morehead would be the most avail
able and probable candidate for the
Republican nomination for Cover
nor" In one quarter this statement
has been denied. II the party is wise
and wants to increase its strength 1t
will nominate Morehead by acclama-
ton. I don't know anything about
Buncombe, but I do know something
Of the other nearby counties, and
feel sure they are for Morehead.
OF course, he will have some op-
position. The fact that he is a gen
tleman of the highest character and
with sufficient intelligence and man
hood to assert himself regardless OF
a few would-be bosses, is enough to
excite opposition in some quarters

next, and the petition of North Seventh
street residents should be needed. Or
ders have been issued to the street
commission to keep the city approaches
in first class condition by the frequent
use OF the King drags. It is urged
that something be done this year to
improve East Main street, and this
prior to the county fair.
Other recommendations.
Liberal expenditure is recommended
for garbage disposal and the adoption
of modern methods.
Strong efforts should be made to set
tie the pending legal entanglements.
Particular stress is laid upon the
light, power and railway situation. The
city must seek and find relief. Some
thing must be done to better the con-
ditions. Hearty cooperation Is asked.
Changes are recommended in tho po-
lice department. The mayor favors
substituting one salaried patrolman for
the two merchant police now being
paid by business men. A patrol box
system is urged
Milk and COW inspection will be
pushed this year, the mayor promises.
n public slaughter house and rigid
inspection are imperative.
The health and sanitation depart
ment is commended, as is the wisdom
of keeping the detention hospital al
ways ready for an emergency.
Attention is called to the excellent
condition of the city's finances.

ARMSTRONG WINS CASE.
Court Instructs Verdict in Case of City

NOuFG INStrUCCS vSFOlCL III Case OF SlIy
VS.. r. w. Armstrong.
AT o'clock Monday afternoon, in
the district court, Judge Bradshaw In
structed a verdict in the case of the
city of Marshalltown VS.. T.. w. ARM
strong, appealed from the mayors
court, in which Armstrong was accused
Of conducting a pawn shop without a
license. The court held that one OF
Tense as charged did not constitute the
carrying on Of a pawnbroker's busi-
ness.
The case against Armstrong was
based on the purchase Of a watch from
one Byron Plato, who represented him
self, according to Armstrong, as a
strikebreaker, and was afraid that he
would "get his head beat off," Plato
admitted on the stand that he was not
a strikebreaker, but was an employee
Of the Central, which then had strike
on. Armstrong claimed that he did not
make a loan on the watch, and in
formed Plato at the time that he was
not in the loan business. Armstrong
bought the watch for IS, and a few
days later an information was drawn
in the mayors court, with Chief Of Po-
lice Nicholson as the complaining wit
ness. Mayor 1ngledue found Arm
strong guilty of violation Of the ordi-
nance, and fined him 500. Armstrong
then appealed to the district court.

OLD COUNCIL ADJovRNs.
Annual Meeting Held, and Reports Of
Officers Received,

SUlCSFS ncC0lVSOs
The retiring city council met In its
last meeting Monday night, heard the
annual reports of officers, and finished
up few odds and ends preparatory to
adjournment sine die.
The city clerks report is issued in
pamphlet form, and deals exhaustively
with the financial statements of the
different departments. The report
shows that the city is under the statu-
tory limit of indebtedness in the sum
Of s11,600.96. Clerk Derby shows in the
use Of water, and the revenues of the
department, that there is much water
being pumped for which the city de-
rives no revenue. He also calls atten-
ton to the fact that the city's revenue
from taxation is less by approximate
1y $4,000 than it was last year, and
that the taxable value of property in
the city has not materially increased
for several years, despite the growth
Of the city.
The chief Of police reported 704 ar
rests during the year, which include
300 for intoxication and three for muir
der. The patrol answered 400 calls and
Travelled S50.66 miles.
The fire chiefs report showed eigh-
ty-seven alarms with a total loss Of
only s4,122.S7, as against insurance
carried in the sum Of s56,500.
Chairman Herman Of the sewer
committee reported adversely on the
petition of D. w. Norris, Jr., for a
sewer on North Fifth street, and rec
commended that the petition be taken
up in turn with others as the funds
permit.
The council ordered warrants drawn
to pay the election and registration Of
ficials, also the rent for rooms as poll
ing places, and the salaries Of the
councilmen for the year just closed.
Before adjournment the chair APP
pointed Devine, Clark, and Young a
committee on credentials, and the for
NAL report on the election of the new
councilmen and city officers was
adopted.
City Solicitor Northup administered
the oath to Mayor Ingledue, and the
mayor swore in the newly elected Of
ficers. The bonds of the new officers
were later referred to the new judici-
airy committee and the city attorney.

A WIDOWS LUCK.

Quit the Thing That Was Slowly
Killing Her.
A woman tells how coffee kept her
from insuring her life.
II suffered for many years, chiefly
from trouble with my heart, with
severe nervous headaches and neural
gia; but altho incapacitated at times
for my housework, l did not realize
the gravity of my condition till 1 was
rejected for life insurance, because. the
examining physician said, my heart
was so bad he could not pass me.
This distressed me very much, as
was a widow and had child depend
emit upon me. 1T was to protect her
future that I wanted TO insure my
life.
fortunately for me, happened to
read an advertisement containing a
testimonial from a man who had been
affected in the same way that 1 was
with heart trouble, and who was
cured by leaving off coffee and using
Postum. I grasped ait the hope this
held out, and made the change at
once.
"My health began to improve I'm
mediately. The headaches and neu-
Abi6Acb dlSSipPSetl GU, l. Sttlllcu Ill lltSI,
and my appetite came back to me at
once. Greatest Of all, my heart was
strengthened from the beginning, and
soon all the distressing symptoms
passed away. Then again made APP
plication for life insurance, and had
no trouble in passing the medical ex-
animation.
ut was seven years ago that I
began to use Postum, and am using
1t still, and shall continue to do so, as
find in 1T a guarantee OF good
health"

Nearly a Million Increase for
State Purposes.
Every County in State Feels the
Added Burden.
NEEDED THE MONEY.
Administration Is Evidently an
Expensive One.
Figures Taken From Records Of
Tax Commission.

An increase of $93o.572. nearly a mill
lion dollars in state taxes This is tho
situation that confronts the people of
Kansas this year. The records of the
state tax commission reveal this start
ilng tact. They also show that IN every
county In the state the taxes for state
purposes have keen increased to an al
most alarming degree. For instance
Shawnee county which last wear maid
state taxes aggregatins s64 SAG viii ;his
year be compelled to pay $92154. an in
crease of ABOUT 40 per cent Wyandotte
&C unity which last year paid $S9, ,945 must
this year pay $126 210 for the support
of the state government SedgwfclS
1aees an increase from $77.045 to $10S,-
The increase is proportional in every
county in Kansas. Not a one escapes
with much less than a 40 per cent in
crease.
These figures are taken from the rec
clds IN the office o. the state tax COM
mission. They are open TO the public
and any one who has any doubt NAV
self.
A great deal has been said about this
being business administration in
which reform is the watchword but
these figures indicate that reform is
coming to cost the state a big round
sum.
The taxes are levied by the state
tax commission. The commission,
however levies only what is needed
for the support of the state govern
ment. The commission must see that
the necessary funds are provided and
this year the members found that
the levy must be greatly increased to
meet the increased expenditures. Ac-
cordingly they increased the levy for
state purposes from nine-tenths of a
mill to one mill and a quarter and
the county commissioners of the
various counties We're notified that
they must see that their counties con-
tributed the largely increased taxes
for the support of the state.
The increase would have greatly
exceeded a million dollars had it not
been for the 100000 received from
the national government, and turned
into the general fund.
Showing by Counties.
In the first column will be found the
amount of taxes actually paid by the diff
