City Council Agrees To Plans For New Lighting Syste
Council Receives, Files
Brief By Phone Company
Position of City Reiterated In Statement by Attorneys
First Notice for Removal of Poles Given September
rs; Litigation Then Threatened by Company

A further statement from the Caro-
lima Telephone and Telegraph Com.
pany, in which it reviewed it's pre-
vlous contentious in the dispute over
renewal of franchise for operation
in Henderson, was presented to the
Henderson City Council Monday night
at the regular monthly meeting OF
that body, and was ordered received
and filed.
The position of the Council was
reiterated by j. p. Zollicoffer, city at
tOrney, who also reviewed the steps
taken by the Council over period OF
months leading up to the present inn
passe. He cited the fact that first
notice to the telephone company to re-
move it's poles and Wires from Gar
nett street in the business section was
contained in a resolution adopted last
September 25, and that j. r. Porter,
executive vice-president of the com
F'pny, at a later conference with city
oificlIls. had threatened to go to court
TO re5t9t the order, asking five years
III which to comply, and claiming that
the work could not be gotten around

Mr. ZOEicoffer produced a letter from
Donald Gillian, of Taa'boro, home Of

counsel for the corporation, in which
he contended the ordinance was no.
legal and would not stand up in court,
because of the provisions of the fran
chise which the telephone company
held from the city. That was before
it had been discovered that the fran
chise, granted September 20, 1908 for
thirty years, expired ON that date In
1888. 1t was then that negotiations
for new franchise were started, and
when the city demanded an annual
,;ayment of $500 by the telephone
company for the use of tho streets
for its equipment. City officials claim
that MI. Porter had assumed the posi-

lake, which would tend to increase
yhe water storage. 1t is expected that
| speedy approval of the allotment will
follow the probably early appropria-
ton by Congress of a billion dollars
more for Civil Works Administration
projects.
Funds were given under the Public
Works Administration grant last
spring for the raising of the level of
the dam approximately 18 inches, and
the water stored by reason of that in
crease is believed by City officials to
have contributed largely toward avert

here during the fall months, as the
result of the prolonged dry season.
The work that is now proposed woulu
further remove the danger of a crisis
at some future time in the citys
water supply.
Two other civil works projects were
proposed at the meeting of the Coun.
Gil Monday night.
One of these was for grading and
,ulfacing of Carolina avenue a dis
tance OIL approximately $50 feet, the
property owners on each side of the
street to pay one-third each and the
citv the other third, funds for the
labor to come from the CWA. The
I proposal was accepted on condition
that the money be obtained from gov
ernment sources.
The other CWA project proposal
waE for the laying OF a sidewalk on
the southwest side of Granite stree.
from Gayrnett to Chestnut streets. A
petition was presented bearing the sig
natures of all but two property own

dorsement of the plan by Miss Sue
Kelly. principal of West End school,
and Mrs. C. C. Patterson, president of
he Parent-Teacher Association of the
school. and E.. M. Rollins, superinten-
dent of the city schools. Their view
WAS for ihe safety of the children who
use the street in going to and from
Ihe school. The distance to be cover

would be not less tn6lI live 1eet wide.

Is This Too Good

Creomulsion may be a better help
than you need. 1t combines seven
major helps in one--the best helps
known to science. It is made for
quick relief, for safety.
Mild coughs often yield to lesser
helps. No one can tell. No one knows
which factor will do most for any
certain cough. So careful people
more and more. are using Creomul-
sion for any cough that starts.
The cost is a little more than a
single help. But your druggist guar
ontees it, SO it costs nothing if it fails
to bring you quick relief. Coughs are
danger signals. For safety's sake,

Now that the election is over, what
next?
Well, we read an article by Leslie
Eichel, New York, and if we may let
us quote just a paragraph or two:
at is a mistake, however, to as
sumo that either men or programs
have much to do with the economic
movements of the present day-ex-
cept to befuddle them still more.
"These movements are deeply
grounded and political fights seem
only sham-battles in comparison to
the real battle raging with increasing
intensity of widening front. The
real questionable question above all
others-is this: How can the mass
of people earn living?"
There was a great deal more to this
article, but that last question is more
than an editorial or question-it's the
biggest and most vital problem in our
civilization today. But you note that
the writer uses the word "earn."
Think that over.

Erection OF Episcopal Parish
Is Progressing

Brickwork on the new Episcopal
parish house, now in the course of
erection, is expected to be completed
within two days, it was announced
this morning, and then the carpenters
will prepare to get the building under
roof as quickly as possible, on account
of the approaching cold weather.
The basement and foundation were
completed some time ago, but the cold
weather of the past week has ham
pered the erection OF the walls.
When completed the parish house
will contain a main floor 80 by 46, with
a stage, and will be equipped with
steam heat. w. McCulloh Brown is
in charge of the operations, and it is
estimated that the structure will cost
$500.
A picture of how the finished build
ing will look, appears on this page.
1t was drawn by Miss Adeline Sincell,
and follows closely the plans outlined
in the blueprints.
The building will front on Center

LIBERTY"
James 1:25: "The perfect law of lib

By REV. WALTER B. BROCK

James 1:25: "The perfect law of lib
erty."
Who does not love to watch an air.
plane soar through the blue sky? The
perfect symbol of human liberty, freed
from the limitations of earth!
But we know that the airplane
achieves it's buoyant freedom only by
complete obedience to the laws of
aerodynamics. Should the pilot for
one instant defy these laws, his craft
would crash to destruction.
Likewise, human liberty is attained,
not by breaking the laws of life, but
by obeying them implicitly. Disobe-
dience means death and destruction.
Wherever we go, we find laws that
seem to limit our freedom, rules and
regulations which seem to hem US in.
But the truth is, we shall find health
and happiness, liberty and life, not by
rebelling against these laws but by
accepting them gladly and obeying
them intellectually.
