4 Coed Bill.

Representative Page Of Moore has
introduced in the house a bill to au-
thorize the county commissioners Of
the various counties in their dis
cretion to elect one or more banks
or trust companies to act as county
treasurer without compensation.
The bill was defeated as Statewide
measure. but the Representatives Of
81 counties, including Wake county,
have asked that it apply to them.
It required courage to introduce and
support such a bill, because its
adoption might mean the abolition
of scores of offices, eliminate some
good men from the payroll and save
the counties about 100000. The
bill would make it optional with the
commissioners to abolish the Office
of treasurer and they would be COM
PEELED to give SO days notice Of
their intention so to do before any
primary or convention. If bank
could be selected to act as treasurer
without compensation, it would be
mighty good business, is poor poll
tics, in these days of high taxes to
abolish the office Of treasurer. We
want to commend those Representa-
tives who dared to support the
measure Raleigh Times.

Disgrace to the State.

Recognized by connoisseurs of
architecture and art the country
over as one Of the most beautiful
public buildings in the United States,
the Capitol Of North Carolina is
without doubt one of the worst kept
public buildings in the world. Its
corridors are filled with trash, tools
and implements of all sorts, empty
boxes, discarded furniture and other
articles that ought to be relegated
to the trash heap. Its closets and
toilet rooms are filthy and indecent.
In one of them bucketful of empty
whiskey bottles, the accumulation of
single night, was seen. In one of
the corridors while the snow was
melting Saturday, it was necessary
to set buckets to catch the water
that literally flowed through leaks
in the roof. The walls, ugly enough
at best with their dingy brown
paint, the door facings, the window
frames, and other parts of the inte-
rior have been SO abused, marked up
and cut up as to have become dis
graceful to the State. In certain
places large portions of the plaster
ing. and large blocks of the beauti-
full frieze, especially in the gallery
over the Senate chamber, have been
so loosened by the water flowing
through the leaks that they have
fallen off in great blocks. In many
places the Capitol presents the ap-
pearance of building in the first
stages of decay. Raleigh Times.

What Makes a Good Garden.

Good soil, good seed, good tools,
and good care-these are what it
takes to make a good garden. All
of them the farmer can get Or give,
too. Indeed, the farmer who neg
lects his garden is lacking some of
the qualities every farmer needs.
Any man should be ashamed to live
on a farm and then have to buy his
potatoes, vegetables and canned
goods. OF course, even the best
farmers may need to buy few now
and then; but this should be the eX-
ception and not the rule. 1t is the
farmers business to have these
things to sell.-W.'F. Massey in The
Progressive Farmer.

Wilson a Southern Gentleman.

Princeton, N. j.. Feb. 24.-The
next president Of the United States
gave up his seat on q train today to
a woman who was standing in the
aisle. She wasn't near him at that,
but at the other end Of the car when
he spied her, arose, bowed and beck
oned for her to take the seat he had
vacated. She smiled, thanked him
and took it. Governor Wilson made
the tip here from New York on an
accommodation train. A holiday
crowd was aboard and the President
elect stood for nearly an hour.
Scarcely was he settled down in his
seat when he saw the woman stand
ing and promptly surrendered it.
Many Of the other seats in the car
were occupied by men.

Large Factory Burned to the Ground.

Goldsboro, Feb. 28.-One Of the
largest fires that has occurred in
Goldsboro in several months occur
red this afternoon when the Royal
and Borden Felt Mattress Manu-
featuring company plant was COM
pletely destroyed.
The fire department responded to
the alarm with exceptional prompt
ness, but the fire had gathered such
headway and the smoke from the
burning cotton made the approach
to the building so difficult that they
could not do good work.
Time and again the great rolling
waves of black smoke through doors
and windows drove the firemen back
from the building. The damage will
amount to several thousand dollars,
well covered by insurance.

PLAYERS Think
KIRBY OUGHT TO
GET MORE PAY
PRESIDENT OF PLAYERS FRA
TERNiTY SAYS NEW YORK
eIANTs SHOULD BE coMPELL-
Ed TO PAY A PENSACOLA
PLAYER.

The last issue of the Sporting News,
a paper devoted exclusively to base
ball and which is read the country
over, has an editorial regarding the
case of Pitcher Kirby, formerly of the
New York Giants, but now pitching for
Pensacola. The editorial, which is a
reply to President Fultz of the Play
ers Fraternity, in which the latter
claims Kirby should receive more
money than he is getting, is as fol-
lows:
The Players Fraternity has pro-
tested-through it's president-against
any player being sent from one club
to another at a reduction in salary and
has requested of the National Com
mission that it take such action as
shall be necessary to assure to the
player his salary as set forth in the
original contract or his unconditional
release.
The Fraternity in short does not
want a player released under option
unless his contract is to follow him 1t
thinks, for instance, that if New York
releases Pitcher Kirby to Pensacola
and retains claim on him. then Kir-
by should draw a major league salary
while playing with the Glass ID Pensa-
cola Club.
president Dave Fultz of the Fra
ternity, being a lawyer by profession,
evidently cannot grasp the principle
that rules everywhere that a man is
paid according to the worth of his ser
vices, otherwise he could see that Kir-
by-his case is only figurately--is not
worth much money pitching for
Pensacola as he would be worth pitch
Ing for New York.
Lawyer Fultz might he able to
grasp the idea, however, if he were to
transfer his activities and hang out
his shipsie in Pensacola. This is only
cited as figuratively, also, there being
no intention to intimate that Pensa-
cola might not appreciate Attorney
Fultz's services as highly as does New
York, but the ratio of the recompense
for appreciation differs, of course"

seen here. Burmeister was wild, pass
ing three men and hitting Craft twice,
and Braun once, almost disabling
them, but the wilder Burmeister be-
came the more errors Clarksdale piled
up. Both of the Pensacola taIlies came
in on errors. One double play and
brilliant catch by McGill relieved the
tedfum. Umpire Riggs made his first
appearance on the local diamond.
