it is proposed that the cars be built in
this city.
After the conference Mayor Mccarthy
thus summed up the results of the days
discussion:
I'VE have been discussing the build
ing of the Geary street road in it's
many different phases from the point
of the propulsion of the cars to the
route. We have decided to take up
the question of route early in the week
for definite decision. as the supervis-
ors. the board of works and myself
may determine
1--WE have sold s26O.O00 worth of
bonds. The supervisors will on Mon
day Offer $4,000 more for sale. That
will make a total of $500, 900 of the
bonds.
The material. the contracts and the
placing of the same have been dis
cussed thoroughly.
No Legal TangIes
The question was also discussed as
to any legal entanglements.<M Mr.. Nourse
of the city attorneys office assures US
that we are free from any entangling
alliances through the meshes of the
law.
The concensus of opinion as to pro-
pulsion tends largely toward the sys-
tenn established throughout the city at
the present time, enabling the people to
deal with the roads that may from time
to time fall into their laps in the most
economical manner. The evolution of
cars has gone on at such rapid pace
that this course impresses itself as in
the best interests OF the people. 1t is
not definitely decided, but the opinion
leads toward the overhead trolley. II

system and will enable us to take ad-
vantage at any time of such improve
ments as may be made in the method of
propulsion.
Edison has a new battery for which
he claims successes. He has sent a man
out here exhibiting his plates. There
are other methods in use which are
claiming attention.
There will be nothing temporary
about the Geary street road. When we
begin to operate it, we will operate
it first class. No definite time has been
set when the permit of the existing line
will be revoked. When we have our
rails, we will arrange with 1T to get
off the street so that the city can get
on.
I'VE will begin by placing the con-
tract for the rails, ties. etc. The char
ter requires that in making a contract
the money required in payment must
be in the city treasury. The next lot
of bonds will give us 100000 with
which to proceed. AS in the regular
order of business, the board of works
will advertise for the bids for the rails.
If we find out that there is any combi-
nation or attempt to charge to the city
higher price than is justified, then
we will make our purchase abroad
1.-THE rails must be bought elsewhere
and will require some time to make.
So we will place that contract early.
Power house sites and such things are
right here at hand and we can arrange
for those later"
Next Wednesday the mayor. with a
party OF city officials. will make a tour
of inspection over the proposed route.

He Discusses Government

Almost from the beginning he aban-
doned his manuscript and spoke on the
development of constitutional govern
ment After an hour and three-quar-
ters he took up the Payne tariff bill.
: Some advise taking the tariff out
of politics." he explained, but / have
noticed that this advice usually comes
from those who are opposed to the
protective tariff, under which this
country has had its greatest develop
ment. We have several times thought
we had the tariff out of politics by the
demonstration of the success and the
necessity for the protective tariff prin-
ciple"
He said that adherents of the pro-
tective tariff principle thought it had
been firmly establish when used to pay
off the debts of the Civil war, but that
the opponents of the principle, un-
willing to have it so, had insisted upon
meeting every four years in national
convention and declaring that tariff for
protection was unconstitutional

To the Editor Of The Robesoutau.

Having lived in your town for

that time I did not spend two
weeks outside it's borders. nat
urally my heart is with the de-
velopment of that good town and
people which help make it what
it is. l recently moved from
there to my present home, Bur-
lington, which | find to be ahead
Of Lumberton in a few respects
and a very nice place.

system here is as good as can be
found in any town in the State.
covering a larger area Of ground
than many even greater towns
or cities; also the water is as
good to drink as the best of ar
teslan water.
The town has passed a law
which has been in force for some
time that all the houses in a GER
tain distance must have water
works put in. This Of course
does away with the outside fly
hatchers or closets which have
been a great nuisance to your
town this summer. The dis
lance is three blocks one way
and four the other, which takes
in most Of the thickly-settled
part Of town.
Next we come to the garbage.
They have here an excellent dis
posal plant which is situated
about two miles from town that
destroys all the filth from the
town and leaves it in healthy
condition; while in Lumberton il
is hauled down the river about &
mile and dumped in and as the
summer comes on it no doub'
causes a lot of sickness.

NOT BEST FOR SEED CORN.
Highly Fortified Yields May
Produce Nubbins.
Statesville Landmark,


Officials of the State Depart
ment of Agriculture and others
interested IN the wonderful in
crease Of interest among the
farmers in North Carolina in the
best methods of corn culture and
the advances made in fertiliza-
ton and general culture all
through the State, declare that
there is danger Of real injury
coming to many corn farmers
through the mistaken idea that
the best sources Of seed corn are
the most highly fortified yields.
There is special danger from the
prize acre. patches, where a
planter fertilizes farm in excess
of possible application by even
the ablest and best equipped
farmers, procures a series of
ABNORMAL yields and puts his
seed corn" on the market. 1t
is bought by planters who seed
it in average normal lands with
even extra good fertilization and
still the plant finds itself in soils
far below that in which it's abnor-
NAL development has taken place
and the result is rapid deprecia-
ton in the quality and yield. In
fact, in the language of Commits
''sioner A. w. Graham, ''nubbins"
are more than apt to be the result
first or last. It is pointed out,
too, that most of these abnormal
.iyields are produced through such
|, intensive and expensive fertiliz'
ing that the cost Of the fertiliza
ton and cultivation is consider
ably in excess Of the revenue
from even the greatly increased
yield. The wise planter, they

THREE DEMOCRATIC GOV
... ERNORS.
Democratic Timber of National

0lZS.
Baltimore Sun 9Th.
Three States yesterday elected
rs their Governors three Demo-
Gratis who are likely to loom large
upon the Democratic canvas for
the next two years. They are
Woodrow Wilson, Of New Jersey;
Eugene N. Foss, of Massachu-
sets, and Judson Harmon, of
Ohio.
DR.. Wilson, who entered the
race for Governor at the bebest

was without practical political
experience, but has proved so apt
a student of the strong points of
the game that he is now held to
be in the front rank Of politicians
Of the higher 81 !ss. He proved
a strong campaigner W reason
of his manly courage, his unmis-
taxable stand against corruption,
his absolute lack OF fear Of the
bosses in his own party, and the
frankness with which he took
the people into his confidence
upon all matters Of public con-
Germ.
| Mr.. Foss sprung into promi-
hence several months ago when
he took the Democratic nomina.
ton for Congress in a strong Re-
publican district, and at a special
election carried it by a large ma.
jority. He was late in entering
the race for Governor, but made
a vigorous fight once he got into
it, and won in handsome style
His victory is the more remark
able because of the fact that in ;
State supposed to be hidebound il
, it's devotion to the protective
tariff he made his campaign al
most entirely upon the tariff issu
; and in favor of a real downwar'
+ revision. He is a manufacture
! who takes gains from the tarif
, to which he frankly states he
+ not entitled. He also has abilit
