Turn on the Light.

A question The Herald would like
the town of Dillon owe the North
6 South Carolina railroad S1O,0OO?'
rs the town of Dillon legally or NOR
ally bound to pay the North &
South Carolina railroad such a
sup:
The railroad authorities claim
that Dillon does owe them that
Spount. At recent election up
ON the question a majority of
the citizens of ttlfe>.to2wn repudiated
the alleged claim. -,
Now where does the matter
stand? If the town is legality in
debted to the railroad in the sum
of $4,000 the railroad has redress
IN the courts. If it is a moral OBJ
aiGation on the part of the town
the debt should be paid.
The Herald wants light on the
matter. Persistent rumor to the
effect that Dillon owes hits money
and will not pay it reflects serious
ty upon the good name of the town
and Is, in a measure. a reflection
d upon its citizens.
d If the town. through it's citizens,
esmade certain promises to secure the
nesailroad and then failed TO carry
7ntlut those promises, thereby causing
lmee railroad to spend $4,000 for
'rs hts-of-way. ETC.. the claim Of the
should SSe paid.
II. on the other hand, the rail-
road did not carry out its part OF
the agreement, or through neglig-
ence or bad judgment was forced to
spend more than was necessary tc
secure Its rigbts-of-Way into Dillon,
then the claim Is not valid and
should not be paid.
The. Herald does not know, or
pretend to know, anything about the
alleged promises TO the railroad.
The negotiations were conducted
through a committee of citi-
zens of which the editor Of this pa
per was not a member. To bring
the matter clearly before the pub
Eic in order to show just where the
town stands In the controversy it Is
Incumbent upon the members of the
town committee to make a report
Ssack TO the citizens and show to
what extent the town Is involved.
We believe the railroad authorities
BnGld oe willing to show why the
town Is indebted to ther; in the
IN the sum of $4,000, and IL the
:mn.ittee and the railroad will
come together the matter can be
adjugted
Certainly the town should be will
Sgg TO carry out the promises made
ny it's own committee, and If it can
be shown that the debt is a just
and honorable one, the citizens of
Dillon will not hesitate to pay it,
Come together, gentlemen, and
Iets adjust a matter that Is giving
rise to rumors which reflect upon
the town as a whole.

CITY To HAVE A
WEATHER BUREAU
Street and Sewer Department
Will Furnish Observer
for Service

Through the efforts Of Congressman
Heald, Wilmington Is to have a Wealth
er Bureau, the Street and Sewer De-
partment today having promised the
Board of Trade that they will main
tain the service.
The city had such a station in 1896
but il had to be closed for lack of an
observer.
The following letter from William
II. Alexander, of the weather bureau,
at Baltimore, TO Secretary McGovern
Of the Wilmington Board of Trade
explains itself
Referring TO recent correspond
ence between you and Hon. William
II. Heald, and the Honorable. the Sec
retary Of Agriculture. James Wilson,
relative to the collection and publi-
cation of meteorological data for Will
mington, Del. etc. am directed by
the Chief of the Weather Bureau to
say this bureau will be very glad
indeed, to carry out the wishes of the
citizens OF Wilmington. as far as prac-
ticable in this matter. AS you are
doubtless aware, this is a cooperative
service, and it will be necessary to
make arrangements whereby this
work can be carried on without ex-
pense to this Bureau, except for in
struments, stationery postage, etc. If
you can find a capable person who will
do this work on the conditions ne
cessarily imposed (the Bureau to
supply the equipment and the obsery-
er to do the work gratuitously), it
may be possible to reopen the sta
tion closed in 1896 for lack OF an OBJ
server Kindly report to this Office
the name or names of suitable per-
sons for the position of observer with
any suggestions you may have 10 make
as to carrying out your wishes in the
matter.
I'VE shall also be glad to receive
from the Street and Sewer Depart
ment Of your city as complete meteor
illogical record covering the period
from November. 1896, 20 the present
time, as the department can give. We
can use only reliable data data taken
by a competent observer using first
class instruments that we're properly
exposed.
Perhaps the best way to get at the
matter will be for you to see IL a
competent observer can be secured
one upon whom We can depend TO
carry on tho work for a series OF
years, and then, II the central Office
approves the plan, | will visit your
city and see to the opening of the sta
ton. Perhaps your street department
would carry on the work under the
direction of this bureau; IL not. may
be some public institution would un-
dcrtake il. AT any rate. we can do
nothing toward the opening of sta
tion there until an observer is Sc
cured AS to the collection of the
data kept by your Street and Sewer
Department. we shall be glad to re-
ceive that at any time May I ask a
prompt reply that the matter may be
pushed"

sented the subject TO the Street ant
