Just for Office.

The belief of the Charlotte
Observer that any man as
piring for public office in North
Carolina should go before the
people with a claim based on
merit, rather than on the plea
that the job he is after is a better
thing than the one he has been
holding" is applicable with
equal force to every State, county,
city and town in this country.
Appreciation of the peoples
consideration in giving him the
better office would be natural
and expected" says The OBJ
server but it would be better
to be able to give in exchange
for the great favor a service
based on a finer degree of
efficiency than had marked the
record of the person he might
have displaced. Only a man
with an unconquerable weak
ness for holding office would ask
the people to make shift for
his particular benefit. The man
who asks to be given an office
just because he wants it is
making pretty strong draft on
the obligations of friendship"

Jute Wins Over Cotton.

Jute instead of cotton twine
will be used by the postoffice
department during the year be-
ginning November l, for tying
letters. The contract for fur
nishing jute has been awarded
the Ludlow Manufacturing AS
sociation of Boston, Mass, at
$O.O99 a pound, deemed to be
the lowest bid for furnishing
either jute or cotton submitted
to the Department. Cotton is
being used this year at SO. 1923.

Pull the Cork.

When the editor approaches
the average citizen in the quest
of news he is invariably told
that the citizen doesn't know a
thing" and that answer is about
as near the truth as the nations
of Europe are to effecting a
pro mpt settlement Of their differ
ences. Everybody knows some
thing, and most people know a
lot of something's that are worth
telling and would make breezy
and newsy stories, but they Just
bottle it up in the walls of their
dome and forget that it is there.
Sometimes the editor is able to
pry it loose word by word until
he gets the story, when it would
be the easiest and simplest thing
IN the world to let it all out in
rush. Pull the cork, brother.
and let out the contents of your
intellectual bottle and we will
pass it on to others who are
thirsty for news. You know
a-plenty if you only knew that
you know it.

Loans on Cotton
at 6 per cent

Last year the First National
Bank loaned money to EVERY
farmer who offered warehouse
receipts for cotton as security,
and by means of these loans
hundreds of bales of cotton were
stored and sold later at higher
prices which put thousands of
dollars in the pockets of our
farmer customers.
We do not advise the farmers
to store their cotton this year nor
do we advise them to sell at the
present prices. This is a matter
which should be decided by each
individual farmer according to
his needs and circumstances.
We are prepared however to
make loans, secured by ware
house receipts for cotton. to
those farmers who may wish to
hold their cotton at Six Per Cent
Interest.

Auto Strikes Buggy.

Editor Times: On Tuesday of
last week myself, daughter and
little grandson started to Fort
Mill and when we reached the
hill in front of the negro church
we saw an automobile approach
ing going north and heard an
other coming up behind us. We
turned out well to the right and
thought that one of the autos
would stop and pass by singly,
but not so. They passed by us
both at the same time at a good
rate of speed. The coca-cola
truck that came up behind us
struck our buggy, but no harm
was done more than to frighten
us badly. Indeed it was a mar
row escape for us. Now, cannot
our lawmakers make a law to
regulate these speedy machines,
and if they don't know how to
stop on such occasions as this,
they should be kept at home un-
der an Instructor until they learn.

PENNSY TRAINS
run ON time

The Pennsylvania railroad is slowly
but surely STRENGTHENING out the tan
gle in which the storm Of Wednesday
night engulfed It. Communication is
being established with the outside
world through the rapidity with which
the linemen are untangling the mess
OF wires which were blown down. All
trains are running on time with one or
two exceptions and they are only a
few minutes late. Wires are up be-
tween Chicago, Indianapolis. Cincin-
natiN and Logansport, but they are
over long distances on ac-
count of SO many poles being down.
Large crews of men are working
night and day getting things in condi.
ton but it will be a week or ten days
before things resume their normal
condition. Linemen from the Pitts
burg division have been brought here
and they are working with the local
crews erecting poles and putting the
wires in shape.

BOARD BUYS LAND
ALONG DUMP EDGE

Yesterday the board Of public works
completed a deal for the purchase Of
a considerable strip of the land which
has been used for dumping purposes,
between Randolph street and the river.
1t was purchased from Elizabeth c..
Marmon for $500. The couEiil had ap-
proprated $1,000 for purchasing land
along the west river bank in the vicin-
ity of the Doran bridge. Eventually
the board hopes to secure more land
I'm this locality, to be used for park
purposes. The property has been we'll
filled by dumping and is no longer
used for such purposes.
The board has been petitioned to
reject the concrete paving of an alley
between South. Seventh and Eighth
streets. from G to E streets because
1t has not been properly graded. It
was decided today to postpone action
in this matter for two weeks.

CONDUCTOR STARTED
IN NEWSPAPER SHOP

While his train was laying over at
the Pennsylvania depot this morning
conductor A. Phillips whose run is be-
tween New York and st. Louis. grew
reminiscent and spoke Of the days
when he was newspaper man.
At the tender age Of thirteen Phil
ran away from home and landed In
New Hampshire. The town was called
Whitefield and Phillips got a job on
the local paper at fifty cents week
and board. He slept on the paper in
the press room which was editorial
sanctum and all other departments
combined.
Mr.. Phillips said that the storm
which isolated Richmond spread all
over the country through which his
train ran but that there was more
snow in this region than in the east.

J. P. Randall. manager OF the Postal
Telegraph company in this city, gives
out the following:
"A great many people think that we
are taking our time in our construction
work. Few farmers east of Richmond

axes and without hesitation have ruin

Is illegal to block public highway.
1t is to our advantage to get this work
done as soon as possible and at pres

EVENT AT THE
PALAIS ROYAL.

As it is the custom of the Palais
Royal not to carry any merchandise
over from one season to another they
are about to announce their annual
January Clearance Sale. This sale
promises to be the greatest they have
ever held. The values offered are won
derful, considering the high character
of merchandise they carry. Their ad-
vertisement should be interesting news
to all women who are inclined to
economy.
Their integrity for honest adyertis-
ing and square dealing should bring
out record crowds for this sale. You
will find their advertis ,ment in this
paper on Saturday, January ADV.

STAMP SALES SLUMP.

The Red Cross seal sales will not
net more than 5000 in the city," said
Mrs. A. w. Roach, president Of the
Domestic Science association, which
has charge OF the sale. There has
not been the demand for them this
year as there has been in previous
years. So many OF the members OF
the association have been too busy to
push the solicitation and for this rea-
son. l believe. the sales have fallen
short" One-half Of the money receiv-
ed will be given toward the visiting
nurse work next year. BY the time
expenses are paid, it is not believed
that this amount will reach more than
500.
