North Carolina has discovered that she has immense resources in the shape of a great tin deposit in her mountains.

At a meeting of the School Board, Monday evening, I'rof. James M. Strohl, Misses Jessie Wrede and Esther Dunn were elected to teach the coming term. Mrs. Clarissa Baker, who spent the winter at Athens, and her daughter, Mrs. Frank Shaffer, have returned to Celestia where they will make their home for the summer. It is freely intimated that there are some things about President Roosevelt's Cabinet which give him Payne. The Hon.

Farmers who pay for their land, build fences and pay taxes on same, deliver mill by railroad and sell it at 3c the quart. At Laporte where everything is free, the price is 5c the quart delivered at the cow's tail and there is talk of raising it to Bc. Wonder if they keep milk to sell in Chicago at Montgomery Ward's. Our report of the Memorial Day service through our misunderstand ing, erred in stating that Rev. Ir vin Fisher delivered one of the ad dresses. It was Rev. Engler who made the pleasing address, and Rev. Fisher who offered prayer and bene diction. At a session of Juvenile Court held on Friday the case against Galvin and Archie Wilson, accused of theft from the R. R. station at Dushore last January was disposed of. Hon. John S. Line of Bernice was appointed probate oilicer, to see that the children are hereafter properly treated, fed, clothed and sent to school. At any time the parents fail in these duties they will again be brought into court and a further disposition made of the case. Several enterprising gentlemen of Laporte have organized a stock com pany with $5.00 capital stock, to be called the Stock Grazing and Walk Wrecking Co. of Laporte, Their purpose is to take stock to pasture, and have placed an advertisement in these columns. Dairying is being carried on extensively here at a big profit as the state laws are defiant ly violated which advantage is knocking the farmers all out, as they are compelled to pay the extra expenses of fencing their cattle with in bounds that they had to buy and now pay taxes upon. What, too dull to see the point; look again. It's a Rockefeller graft. Charity is extremely kind in this town, and since it has been discovered to be limitless, capital has organized a beef trust to take advantage of it. Atty. A.J.

EDITOR: —The petition sign- j ed by residents and property owners of Laporte was laid before the Boro- C'ouncil at a meeting of the Board on the 6th inst. in regard to allowing cattle and horses to run at large on our streets. Two members or the Ist Ward and three of the 2d Ward were present. In as much as a Hill Board was not present, the members of the Ist Ward moved that no action be taken thereon until a full Board was present. It was also suggested by one of the members that in caee such an ordinance be passed and the animals be withdrawn from their present pasture grounds, the weeds would grow and deface the appear ance of the Borough streets. Final ly a majority voted to lay the petition aside for future action. Evidently some of our Borough Fathers have a peculiar taste—and for the time be ing we will have the privilege of sharing our sidewalks with the cat tle as heretofore." A COUNCILMAN. It is seen by the above statement that at some future time the Laporte Borough Council will decide the question of allowing cattle, swine and horses to run at large upon our streets. Anything but fanciful reas ons for believing that an affirmative decision prohibiting the nuisance is idle. The obstructionists hold the balance of power at present. The gentlemen behind this commendable movement are Messrs James McFar lane, A. J. Bradley, F. W. Meylert, T. J. and F. H. Ingham, W.P. Shoe maker, L. R. Gumble, J. V. Finkle, E. P. Ingham C. R. Funston, W. C. Mason,W.H. Randall,Fred Miller J. Reed, Jno. Hasin. These are the gen tlemen who are lending assistance to bring about better conditions at La port and place it on a more elevating plane where it will be regarded with more respect and less ridicule by strangers than it now does Of course, objections have been interposed. There always are. It is within our time of memory, reading of indigna tion meetings held in days when revolutionist proposed that town pumps should disappear before the march of water mains in some of our now thriving and prosperous towns and cities. Yes, we have read of the historic stand made against the mains, but it was a tight against fate itself. The pumps retreated Bullen ly. Laporte has some of the same kind of fogies. "The lovely town will grow up with weeds." Is the exception Invariably taken when a progressive voice is raised. Exactly, if the town is to remain in its Rip Van Winkle slumber. Property owners in other towns are required to keep their frontage presentable. By some of our best thinking people it is accepted as a trueism, that that which is the least expensive may in the long run be prodigal as to cost. The expense of hiring cows pastured and the cost of mowing weeds are taken into too much account. Every quart of milk used in Laporte cost property owners at the rate of 15c, in the way of keeping up fences, re pairing side walks, damages done to yards and gardens and the general depreciation in the value of property thus subjected to depredation. Some of the obstructionists are complain ing of the disgraceful advertising the News Item is giving the town. That every statement made in the News Item in this respect Is literally accu rate is within the knowled of every man and woman in town. The fact that such conditions can continue un checked which by mere mention in the press pictures the town disgrace fully, adds more to the reflection on the public spirit of the town than twenty newspapers can produce. Further than that still, it gives evi dence as to the grade of intelligent exercised by the dominant power majority rale. So long as the town, remains in its present condition no press is capable of disgracefully ad vertising the town more than the town disgracefully advertises the people residing within. There is something more than a hand to mouth fulfillment of the Borough's needs. The future enters into the calculation of Utose with progressive spirits. They are mak ihg an eflbrt to bring about that long talked of vision—a summer re sort, worthy of the name, with all its grandness. Indeed it is almost like a transformation scene, so radical is the change from indifference to and neglect of everything but the private purse policy, to an appreciation of what the future has in store for this grandly located village* Our vene rable and venerate town pumps are threatened. What is eminently cal culated to make matters worse for the town pumps—beg pardon—obstruc tionists, is the fact that their case is always chronic, that there is no cure for it. However, those afflicted usually have the experience of the cows that coquet with Kuntz's loco motive. Even then he is unper suaded. Knowledge comes, but wisdom lingers. Public sentiment will some time awake, then—good bye Mr. Pump. Strength and vigor come ot good food, duly digested.
