COUNTY COMMISSIONERS HAVE
HARD PROPOSITION.

From the Salisbury News.
The County Commissioners are IN
a dilemma as to what to do with GER
tain questions which are coming up
before them for settlement. Gov
ernor Goldsborough has vetoed the
Price Amendment to the Shoemaker
Road Law and the Commissioners are
forced under the old laws to provide
40 per cent of the amount necessary
to construct the Shoemaker roads.
There are delegations coming before
the Board almost every week asking
for roads to be built under this sys-
TEN and the Commissioners are hard
put to figure out some plan by which
the demands of the taxpayers can be
met without raising the tax rate to an
abnormal sum.
Here are the items which the Board
is facing, and il might be well 70
state that the Government insists tha'
the Commissioners remove tht
bridges promptly which means tha'
these bridges will have TO be built u
nothing else is done.
Erection of two bridges at cost o.
at least $3S,OOO00.
Construction of a new Jail at cos
of at least $1OO0O.00.
Shoemaker Roads asked for whlcl
will cost at least S20.00000.
The Commission cannot meet al
these demands without a raise in tn
county tax. which would be almos
revolutionary, and part of th
Board think the best thing TO do un
der the circumstances is to build tn
u bridges which they must do and Gu
J out all other expenditures for Tn

levy at about the same rate as no

is opposed to a "dQ nothing polio

COMMUNITY SPIRIT.

From the Newark Post.
The Community Meetings held at
the High School during the past win

all expectations. The announcement
OF tht last of the series no doubt
will be received with the same enthu-
siasm as heretofore In making the
public school the social and civic CEN
tire of the community the Alumni AS
sociation have acted only In the Spirit
of the Times. The idea is just begin
ming to claim the merited attention OF
Social Center workers throughout the
country Now that Miss Wilson,
daughter of President Wilson, has ae-
oepted the editorship of a national
magazine to further the idea, the
schoolhouse promises to play even
larger part in Community and State
affairs.
Local experience during the past
winter has lust suggested the wonder
full possibilities of such meetings.
At the next meeting Dean Robin

We believe we voice the general
opinion in commencing the work OF

Mr. Dow has been in his store the past

Stanley j. Roberts, our road commits

Mrs. Mary Putnam of Monroe has
been visiting her niece, Mrs. Ralph Ellis

To Clear the Complexion.

One result of constipation is to dis.
figure the complexion with pimples and
blotches. This is because poisons which
should have been expelled from the body
are retained. Cosmetics and ointments
will not avail to clear such complexion.
The poisons which cause the disfigura-
ton must be removed as nature intended.
To do this laxative that will gently
assist nature, but which will cause no re-
acting constipation to aggravate the
trouble, is needed.
Pinklets, the dainty new laxative,
quickly clear away all offending matter
without the least gripping or discomfort.
So simple is their composition that they
can be taken with any other medicine
that is not in itself a laxative. In every
household such simple, safe medicine
is needed. Pinklets are tiny, sugar.
coated granules, easy to take. Yourown
druggist can supply you. Sold in % cent
bottles only.
Pinklets are corrective for bad breath,
will clear the complexion, and are recon-
mended for torpidliver, biliousness, head
aches, constipation andwhenever gentle
laxative is required. Write to the DR..
Williams Medicine Co., Schenectady,
N. Y, for Pinklet book. 1t is free.

where it may contribute to the needs of
those who are unable TO earn Tor them
selves.
1t is the duty of society to care for
one-tenth of the nations earnings, be-
cause so large proportion of them will
squander all in riotous living and become
objects of charity or suffering when
earning capacity ceases. New thoughts,
either of law, education or religion, are
apt to be unpopular, and those who first
dare advocate them have been styled
anarchists from the days of Socrates to
the present time. Nevertheless, let us
step out Of the rut and allow the politi-
cal machine, the educational machine
and the religious machine to pass. Then
let US fill in the ruts and work for level
ing the masses, socially as well as edu-
cationally and religiously.
