TEMPORARY APPOINTMENTS
The city administration is pledged
to sane economy. It is supposed to
be dead set against pork barTeling
and wildcat distribution Of jobs.
There have been rumors that heads
of city departments were not hewing
so close to the line of economy as
they rushed into print to say.
Recently the edict went forth that
city employees would have to stand
for vacations without pay, long fur
loughs and perhaps a reduction in
salary in order to get departments
within appropriation limits. Men
were laid off.
Now some one has come along
with the accusation that while the
department heads are crying econ
Omy'' and frightening the old en-
ployes into fear of not only their va
cations but their jobs, that these
same chiefs have been making tenn
poraby" appointments in great num-
Der.
A temporary clerk may be en-
ployed for a period of months with
out having to pass civil service ex-
animation. Handing out these Jobs
is a splendid method of rewarding
political fidelity. They pay we'll
generally $100 a month or more.
Most of them carry not much more
work than necessity to be at the Office
at reporting in and reporting out
time.
Aid Nance is going after this sort
of business. His resolution directing
the making public monthly of the
temporary appointment list has been
referred to a subcommittee.

Greensboro is up in arms with

J. Will Miller, cashier of the Bank

Quite startling that Greensboro

High Point gets cold comfort from
Guilford County. Last week they
wanted few dollars from the county
commissioners for a couple of roads,
one of which was to come toward
Randolph. The commissioners, of
course, refused. But then High
Point only pays one fourth of the
taxes of Guilford County. Certainly
they are entitled to a little from the

trade and were su ccessful in large
measure, establishing a fine brick
factory in Pilot Mountain and were
doing coed business when forced
out by the trust. They lost some
fifteen or twenty thousand dollars
but were not disheartened. Returning
to the soil and other businesses they
soon made good again with that grit

from their venerable father.
The old Dodson flour mill is also

STEALS FORD AUTOMOBILE
Unknown Parties Enter Garage Of I.
N. Montgomery on E. Washington
Street and Take Off Machine.

Early Tuesday morning unknown
party or parties appropriated the
Ford automobile of T. M. Montgom-
cry, on East Washington street.
1t is quite likely the thieves rolled
the auto from the garage to the road
thirty feet distant before starting it
and of course MIR. Montgomery did
not know anything about it until
awakening that morning.
AS the key 10 the starter had been
Withdrawn 1t could not have been
started without another one, and
therefore the natural conclusion is
that the thief carried one for emer-
gency.
The factory number of the car is
231317 and the state number (1915-
16) is 4347.
The officers kept on the lookout
and neiRhboring towns were notified
of the theft.
LArER-Jule Fagg and Bob Greer
were arrested in Danville Tuesday
afternoon charged with stealing Mr..
Monteomery's car. They were
brought here the same evening by
Chief Gray and locked up, Greer
later giving bond. Searching par
ties were out all day Tuesday look
ing for the car. A lady in Danville
was reading about the stolen car
when she happened to look up and
saw the magic" number on the car
which the buys had failed to take
off. She Immediately notified the
police who ran the boys down on
motorcycles.
The boys are being tried this
as we 20 to press.

Inhuman Treatment of Mules

Inhuman Treatment of Mules
The Humane Society has called
the attention of the editor to case
of inhuman treatment of mules
which were made to work all day
and then used the biggest part of
the night, pulling a heavy load, and
made to work the following day al
though they were almost completely
tagged out. The case in point has
been referred to the police officers.
The society only blames the owner
of the mules who, alone, was ac-
quainted with their condition. The
law is strict on such matters and
the Society is determined to speak
for those who can't speak for them
selves"
