The Caucasian. (Clinton, N.C.) 188?-1913, 1910-12-22

Under the above heading the Union
Republican calls attention 10 a num-
Der OF facts showing q very rotten
condition OF county government In
Craven County. The editorial Ia az
follows:
Craven County shows up bad.
The commissioners employed an ex-
pert accountant to audit the books
and In so doing found that the Solici-
tor had collected s194-62 in unlawful
fees: that the sheriff had about So
900 more than he should have had;
that the Clerk OF the Court had just
1856 in his pocket; that the Register
OF Deeds had placed to his own credit
some $400 too much, while the Treas
urer's books were SO muddled that Ii
could not be shown how he stood and
the auditor gave him the benefit or
the doubt and a clean bill Of health.
Or course these officials are Demo
Gratis, and the New Bern Journal
prints the facts but makes no COM
ment only as TO heading to the re-
port, OF several columns Of figures,
which reads: Very Good County
Findings Develop as Result of Ex-
animation of Oficers and Commits
sioners' Work The Republican has
looked for the News and Observer
to bubble over red-headed, SO great
is it's desire to keep things in the
straight and narrow way but the
trouble is, that it is in it's own politi-
cal fold and there is silence as pro-
found as the grave. Is Craven Coun-
ty the only one where an expert &C
count is necessary? Republicans
punish shortcomings in their officials,
Democrats, as rule, do not. Dis
trict Attorney Holton and the Reve-
nue. officers in the Western District
is but one proof of the assertion.
And what will be the result of the
Craven County Very Good Findings
by an expert accountant? Will the
State Acknowledgement, Judges, So
licitor and Grand Jury also keep sill
ent, the accounts ordered to be
squared and the matter hushed up?
And what If an expert accountant
had not been employed? We pause
for an answer"
The facts set out in the above edi-
torial about the rotten conditions in
Craven County under Democratic
government were known to the DEM
ocratic machine leaders of that coun-
ty before the last election, but they
suppressed the facts for political
purposes and proceeded to elect some
or all of the men who were RESPONSE
BILE for such conditions.
The Union Republican asks, what
is the matter in Craven?" The an
swer is. that the Simmons Demo
cratic machine has been guilty of vio-
lating it's trust to the people there as
it has generally over the State, and
that this machine did not dare to let
the voters know the truth before they
cast their ballots at the last election
1t is also noticeable. in this connec-
ton, that the Simmons Democratic
machine in that county has shown
such contempt for the people of the
county that it has dared to renomi-
nate and re-eleet the men who are
guilty of such grave deeds of miscon-
duct in public Office. We expect
however, to see the honest, patriotic
rank and file in that county con.
denim such methods and such men In
no uncertain manner at the next
election.

THE FARMERS UNION AND TWO
NEEDED REFORMS.

NEEDED REFORMS.
The State Farmers Union, in ses-
sion last week at Greensboro, took
the same sensible and wise action as
that organization has been in the
habit of doing. Two Of the needed
practical reforms for. which they de-
clared were parcels post and for the
teaching of agriculture as part OF
the public school system OF the
State.
The efforts of the Farmers Union,
not only in North Carolina, but over
the whole county, for a parcels post
is already bearing fruit. There Is
evidence each day that they are MAX
ing an impression upon Congress,
and that the time is not far distant
when parcels post system like, what
nearly every civilized country in the
world already has, will be adopted
here.
The United States, while the
leader in nearly everything else, has
strangely been far behind in all pos
tai reforms. In England, Germany
and France, and indeed in every
other great country in the world free
rural delivery, postal savings banks
and the parcels post have long been
among the most important and bene-
ficent features of the postal system
of those countries.
Fourteen years ago we got the free
rural delivery system started in an
experimental way in this country. 1t
was only at the last session of Con-
gress that we got the postal savings
bank system authorized and which is
now about to be started in practical
operation. And the parcels post sys-
tenn should not be delayed another
session of Congress; indeed, 1t
should have been in operation in this
country more than a quarter Of a
century ago.
In England there are no express
companies, because there is no need
for them. But in England, If they
did not have a parcels post and there
were express companies, the express
companies would be the power that
would try to prevent system Of par
cells post from being established. The
existence Of express companies In
this country and their power is the
only reason to-day against the estab-
iishment Of a parcels post here.
The other reform, demanded by
the Farmers Union, the teaching oil
agriculture as a part of the public
school system, is self-evidently wise
and necessary. It is basic reform
that will be of inestimable value
Already there is wonderful awaken.
ing over the whole country as tt
scientific and intensive farming. The
Agricultural Department at Wash.
ington and the various State Agri
cultural Departments have done g
wonderful work for the general agri.
cultural uplift.
The remarkable object lessons OF
what can be done in corn raising
which has been carried on under
these departments during the las
year, is simply an evidence of this
deep and broad intelligent interes
and is part OF the great genera
movement for the uplift OF the farm
er and wealth-producer.

will be rehabilitated.
This is the third attempt to put the In

proved coy.

Real Estate, Men the Ones.
Nov, the real estate men are the ones
mainly concerned with the provisions Of
that ordinance" says the commissioner II
know of but two or three cases in the
whole city where the ordinance has been
complied with. Real estate men and others
who have been ordered TO take the pre-
cautions required by law have bucked and
kicked and hid behind the excuse that
ashes do not create an unsanitary condi-
ton. Maybe not, but everything helps to
produce such a condition eventually.
Right now we are sending out notices
TO owners and agents Of buildings TO con-
struct or provide the r~eceptacles for ashes
and other refuse. Thus they will have all

There v been several difficulties in
the way of a foreclosure suit. The mort
gage issued by the Title Insurance and
Trust company Of Los Angeles provides
first that there must be a default on the
payment Of bond interest for six months;
second, that the mortgage, which is the
trust company, must ave received notice
Of intention to sue for default In writing,
that adequate security must be offered to
indemnify the trust company for all costs
and expenses incurred by the trust COM
pany in such litigation; third, hat a ma
jority in amount of the outstanding bonds
must be deposited with the trust company.
All Conditions Met.
All these conditions are now complied
with or will have been by March l. There
are outstanding 81, 10000 worth of bonds of
the Independent Telephone company and
more than half Of this Is now on deposit
with the trust company in Los Angeles,
or else in the mails on the way there.
This clears the ground for the fore
closure suit, which is now but a matter OF
days, The process will be through a re-
ownership.
The foreclosure suit means that the
bondholders will, in all likelihood, take
over the property. The stockholders stand
to lose their, at present not very valuable,
rights and the company will be in a posi-
ton to r~eorganize, sell additional securi-
ties and by enlarging the local service put
the Independent Telephone company on It's
feet.
