The consolidation of the two systems and the now schedule of rates to go into effect Nov. 1st was approved.

An extra operator is in training to help the present force in the local exchange as soon as she gets up on the work. The subscribers can do much to make the service bettor by always calling for numbers. New oerators have to stop answering calls to look up a number, which keeps the calling party as well as others, waiting. A group of men were standing on the street the other day talking about the 'flu' and the freshet when one of them in response to an inquiry as to the cause of these visitations mildly suggested that perhaps the. recent eruptions from Mount Roosevelt, which of late days has been giving forth rumblings, caused no doubt by inward distu' bances.

might have something to do with the small flood, and in this way no doubt anticipated a sugges lion that Mr. Wrison ought to he held rcsionsible. ('apt. William Matcn promptly Hke up and related a harrowing tale of woo as to what had happened to a country friend of his who was not familiar with the laws of the town of Mount Airy. Captain Mastcn announced that it was his intention to take upthegriev-aneeofthc gentleman from the country with his old friend and playmate, Solicitor Graves, and see what would do in the premises.

The reference to Mount Airy cause some one to recall the ostal card which Clar enceLundy wrote Alex. Chatham right after' the famous flood of ami cited this instance to show how ungrateful some peo pie even though living in Mt. Airy, could be, never seeming to be able to appreciate some of the kindly acts Klkin people had been glad to do for the good town of Mount Airy. The approaching tram caused the group to break up. No doubt several left agreeing with the remark of the old negro preacher, that "there is a lot of human nature In man," RED CROSS WORK.

Since the outbreak of the Span-Nb uer.zi in Klkin the lied Cross li'dief committee has been actively engaged In looking after the conditions of afflicted fi milieu and supplying such things as were needed to make their conditions as comfortable as possible. This committee is com posed tf Prof. II. Dixon, chair- man. Messrs.

J. Hcndrcn, A. W. George. Dr.

K. flick. Kev. J. P.

Hipps. J. S. Atkinson. Mrs.

G.T. Koth and Mis Clara Hell. The committee has the work divided among them so as to cover every paitof the town and they have been H'rhriniiig tletir duties faithfully. The work is not a pleasant oi.e by any means and It requires a great deal of lime and self sacrifice. This the commitUs' is cheerfully giving, but they we helH-rs.

It Is impossible for the in to reach all who are in need of assistance. Many of our ieople think that because there is an organized com mi. tee, that that relieves them from any responsibility. That is a mistaken idea. It is your duty to look after those who are in distress as much as it Is committees There may bo a family Unit is afllicted with the epidemic and in actual need of help.

The committee may not know it. It is your duty to noli fy some memlter of that commit tee so that their needs may Ul supplied. Never befoiu have we had A scourge of sickness like the pros ent one. Your sympathies, words of cheer and acts of kindness arc needed, and needed now. Don't wait for tomorrow, then it may bo too late.

Now is Iho time. If you have, a kind word, a sympathetic tear, or a fresh blown flower that would scatter the gloom of sotrow and depression, bestow them now while they can be appreciated. Don't wait until the form is cold In death, and then say, "Oh, if 1 had only known." I Board of Health Believes Now That THE MACHINE'S LATEST FALLACY. This writer has said much of late bearing on local politics for which I have been roundly abused by the fellows it fitted. In all I have said nor written nothing against the Ucpublicaii party or any worthy member of that party.

The political machines have been the target. There are two machines -one in each party-working together. Would it stir prise any of your readers to know that within a very short while a Surry County Democrat received a h-tter from a Republican ringster in Mount Airy, ask ing him if he ould accept an of ficial position if it were secured and tendered to him? Yet the latest argument the machine Is putting forth for suport of its candid itos Is that two years hence the national government will be in the hands of the lie publican party: and a solid front in Surry county will give the young men in the Republican party aa to secure good places around the Federal pie counter. In answer to this argument of the machine politicians, 1 n.sk any man, Republican or Democrat, to tell us the number and names of the young Republicans in Surry county who have held any oftice, Federal or elective, within the past twenty years. We had a Republican for sixteen years on siren and where are the young Repub licans in Surry County who held the po.slomces and other govern ment tilion.s? The same uien or their crowd have held everything worth while year after year without interruption save when the Democrats would get in.

How many young men have held county oftices in Surry Couuty within the last twenty years? How many have represented this county in the legislature within that time? One day last spring, A. I Nor man told mo that for years and years, threo men Milt Davis, John Norman and Kum Holvtield controlled the politics of this county. I know nothing a Unit these men, but that combine could have been no worse con aiiiuua loan ino present one. R. Haymoro has been having himself nominated for the Senate or House, one.

ever since lie found out he could not get any thing by bdng a lK'annrat, V. Helton was recoiling a favored morsel during tb. Milt Dtvis regime, besides having been In the revenue service fur a inn while. T. W.

Davis served bis time as legister of deeds before becoming sheriff, and W. V. Hampton and S. G. Iti uu were in the legislature and also In the revenue service before being elected county oftlcials.

The Hi roe gentleman last named are not candidates now, and I men lion tMr names only to show your readers that only a few men have received honors and cmolu moot of public oflico within the party for many years past, and It Is useless for young Repubii cans to be deceived by this last argument resorted to by the ma chine. I am frank enough to say her' and now, that I approach this election In position toward the ticket in which I have never lie fore been placed not being able to vote a straight ticket. If 1 am s. ared to attend the election, I shall out of respect for the Re publican party and Surry Coun ty, and my own conscience vote for a Democrat on the county ticket a thing I have never done In the past and have tried to pre rent having to do this time. For solicitor, congressman, and the State and udicial ticket, I shall, as always, vole Republican.

1 advise members of the machine to preservo this letter for use against mo should I aspire for public office. All other good Re publicans are going to vote just liko I a-rt. ESSK T. COPELAN Dobson, N. warehouses lav fc, 12th Open Mrs.
