Rockingham post-dispatch. [volume] (Rockingham, N.C.) 1917-1965, 1919-08-14

A PAPER from a neighboring
county had an item last week
telling of the shooting of a moth
er-in-law by her son-in-law. She
had stepped out of the house at
night, and on her return the man
mistook her for a thief and shot
her in the arm. The paper then
stated that the man was terribly
excited when he discovered that
he had shot his mother-in-law
in the arm" Was the excite
ment caused by the fact that he
hadn't exercised better aim?

Bennett Opposes Bond Issue.

| am never opposed to a rea-
sonable issue of bonds for public
improvements either in town or
county. l am unalterably op-
posed to such issue unless the
same is necessary.
If to erect a new building on
high priced land when there is
ample room for addition to the
present building on hand already
paid for-I have already voted.
A divided schools too utopian in
a town the size of Rockingham.
Seventy-fve thousand dollars is a
staggering sum to fasten upon
the tax payers, when it must be
followed by an issue of bonds to
erecta new court house, and it
may be another issue for the
Charlotte Wilmington highway.
Now here is a simple PROPOSE
ton which, in my judgment, will
do much to clarity the situation:
Let the town school board make
a statement of the present finan-
cial condition of the school and
the contemplated purpose of the
present contemplated issue. In
order to carry a measure which
obllgates taxpayers in such great
amount they must first be shown
the necessity. If there are a half
dozen men outside of those in
authority, who know even the
present indebtedness of the town,
they keep silent in a half dozen
different languages. This applies
with equal force to the financial
administration of the graded
school. This is no reflection uH4n
those representing us but i'm
omission. 20 II
Mr.. Everett's communication
afforded information that would,
if given out sooner, quieted de-
gree of criticism, to-wit: That
the County Board was paying
one of the teachers in the graded
school; in other words, bearing
some of the financial burdenIof
educating those attending from
beyond the school limits. N6w,
more information can do no harm;
in fact, may mean much in the
coming election.
There is another matter we
just as well confront. If we are
not paying the head of the graded
school a sufficient amount to COM
pensate him for his entire time,
increase his pay by all means. 1t
is neither fair to the town school
nor the schools in the country.
One or the other must suffer;
in this instance probably both.
This is no reflection npon Mr..
Bell, but is a plain statement of
a selfevident fact.
John T. Bennett.

PAYING FOR SCHOOLING OF
 .NONS" OUT OF JOBS But the Greater Payment to the Piper Comes from Wilheims Crew in

But the Greater Payment to the Piper
 Comes from Wilheim's Crew in
 Dance of Death
 In his Soldiers Three" Kipling makes that wild Irishman, Mulvaney, say: For every time you dance you must pay the piper, and sometimes it is cruel hard"
 Germany wanted to dance to the tune of Autocracy, to the measure of World Dominion. For a matter of half century Germany was pre-. pairing for the dance. She hoped to dance and let the rest of the world pay the bill. For the piper who pipes for the dance must always be paid.
 But today Germany is entering up- on the day of payment. 1t is a diff ferent day to what she had planned. The dance master Wilhelm had esti- mated that Europe could be made to dance the Dance of Death and pay for her own funeral steps. Wilhelm had planned it all as Germany's party. And now the World, the New World and the Old World is standing by to see that Germany pays her own Death Dance bills.
 Europe had been half expecting some such action on the part of the dance master of Potsdam. Neverthe- less it all came as a surprise away back wonder in August of 1914. The nations of Europe who were to be made to dance at this party were not dressed for the occasion. They were not up to date in their military dress. They did not care for the music, pre- ferring the softer strains of peace. But they were forced to dance any Way. It was Germany's own party
 And now it is over. The day of payment comes and the Allies are the paymasters. They furnished the music for the last waltzes of the Huns out of France. They piped the strains that sent the Hohenzollerns two stepping into oblivion.
 And Germany doesn't like it. The Germans are whining considerably. They are not talking much about the Shining sword" or tour inflexible will to conquer" or about making Lloyd George or President Wilson bite granite" The dancing masters of Potsdam, Kaiser Wilhelm and the Crown Prince and the various vons, the Mackensens, the Ludendorffs and the Hindenburgs are all out of a job. Now comes the time for series of lessons in good manners and de- pertinent for Germany. She is get ting her schooling now. America and the Allies are doing the schooling. It is costing Germany something and it is costing us something. Our U. s. Dollar will have to pay for part of the German schooling. That means more money for the Fifth Liberty Loan. Get into it and do your part.
