We are told that water will seek it's level. that a stream cannot rise higher than is source. and this in .l measure will explain the recent em- barrassment in the finances of our city, and the dark outlook for raising sufficient funds during the coming fall to carry on our local government. without trying to hold up the mer- chants and business men.
 The real test after all is the eating of the pudding. looks and sayor are good indications but getting right down to the bedrock and taking meas urcments from actual results is after 'll the real test. We heard much about watch dog" during the first campaign in electing the present city council to office. and q little more of the same kind of political clap tra D in the last election. but with the foot upon the soft pedal. for with the abll- ity of the ever watchful critter the money appeared to escape much the same as if pirates were below boring holes into the chest and allowing the funds to escape

 The proposed system may prove to be a fine stroke in the raising of finances for the city. but it breaths forth a suspicion of driving people out of business.

Concord Singing Class

The big singing entertainment
given at Concord last Sunday at the
close of the singing school taught
by Prof. Scott Crotts was a grand
success in every way.
1t was announced some tire dur
ing the school that it would end
Sunday with an all days entertain
ment and about 10 o'clock a. m. the
crowd began to gather from all d.
rections and by IL o'clock theie
was good crowd gathered ard
after the singers had done sor
very nice singing Bro. Williams
took the stand and delivered an ex-
cellent sermon after which an aG-
journment was taken until 9 o'clock
and the ladies got busy spreading
one Of the most sumptuous dinners
that has ever been prepared for
such an occasion and after all had
eaten to their hearts delight tie
crowd again assembled in the house
where they spent two hours or moie
singing. A number of good people
from Water Valley, Oconee, Daltor,
Midway, Hamil and other places
were present and all seemed to en-
Joy the occasion very much.
Prof. Crotts has taught Us an ex-
cellent school and while he is com.
paratively a stranger here he has
made many warm friends who will
long remember him. We are
planning to have another school

well to see Prof. Crotts as he is an
all round, straight forward, christian
gentleman in every respect and one
who understands his business as
a singing teacher and we can hearth
ly recommend him to anyone or

a school If you desire to write

There seems to have gone out an
impression that students cannot Sc

Good boarding places for either
boys or girls can be secured at
reasonable prices.
A large number of young people
have already enrolled in our special
class for teachers and we invite
others to join us.
Our 9th grade is, no doubt, the
largest high school class in the
county and one of the largest in
this section of the state.
If you are interested in joining a
strong class either IN review work
or in the regular high school courses
we can offer you just such opportu.

Remember tuition is free to all
students holding common school

More than one hundred thousand
votes were cast for Amendment No.
10, limiting the session Of the leg
isla ture, in the late election. This
was a laundering protest against
the sort of legislatures this state has
been enduring for some years past.
Those critics who were so ready to
declare that the people wouldn't
know how to vote under the initia-
tive and referendum have no doubt
by this time tumbled to the fact that
quite few Of the folks had gump-
ton enough to vote for No. l3, the
best mendment on the ticket.

crazy or ignorant as some of the
