Back to the People.

Carter Dalton has promised to
give back to the people the city af-
fairs when he take his seat in the
next legislature in January and con-
sequently he can most probably get
bill through doing this early in Feb
ruary and an election can forthwith
be called and the city government
restored to the people by March.
This would give an entirely new set
of city officials as the majority of
those in now couldn't be elected by a
vote of the people and the two that
could probably win won't accept un-
der any circumstances, we learn.
None will hold over as some think
when Representative Dalton gets
through with the bill to restore the
government to the people. so there
fore the present officials would have
to hurry to spend all of the bond
money before their successors are
elected.

One=FOurth Only

According to reliable information
the City Attorney has ruled that
the coming election would come un
der the state law requiring only one
fourth to be paid by the abutting
property owners and the other half
by the city. If this is true it puts
the bond issue in a more favorable
light to the voters. This is men
toned in order to be perfectly fair
to all concerned.
Since the above was written the
the City Council has taken action on
the matter and decided that the
proceeds from the bonds shall be
spent under the provisions of the
State law which calls for only one
fourth from TIE abutting property
owners. See ad on last page giving

The Yearly Meeting Today
And OF The Past

The North Carolina Yearly Meet
ing of Friends commences at Guild
ford College the first half of August
! These annual gatherings are a
great thing for the Quakers. For
many years the meetings were held
here in what is now called the Old
Quaker Grove onLindsay Street and
thousands of people from near and
lar attended, many from foreign
countries. The writer remembers
when the old time Quakers attend
ed these meetings, the women in
schooner bonnet" and the men in
prairie hats" They were espec.
iaIly pious in those days and thought
it q, terrible thing to see any one
smoking cigaretts and chewing to-
bacco and we we'll remember when
a boy what a lecture we received
by an aged Quaker on smoking.
Many boys were run off the grounds
for. such offences that are now
counted trifles in this modern"
civilization. The spirit often moved
these consecrated people, at times
would get right pin meeting and
speak their sentiments without
ceremony or fall to their knees and
offer supplications during the ser
vice. There was no waiting to be
asked but a spontaneous outburst
of the soul. Sometimes the meet.
was delayed quite a while because
no one was inclined to stop the ar
dent brother or sister.
But these good old testifiers" are
rarely found these days-the idea
seemed to have passed away with
the good old fashioned Methodist
revival. Somehow we think the
world:would be better off if we could
only stop in our mad rush for the
dollar and prestige and society and
return. in part to the old fashioned
ways in which We at least had time
to serve and honor God.
