Religious Services.
Protracted religious services have been
in progress at the Methodist church in
this city for the last two weeks conduct¬
ed by Rev. J. M. Bowden, aided by Rev.
J. R. McClesky. The attendance, especi¬
ally at the night services has been good.
While the manifest fruits of the meeting
thus far have not been what is greatly
desired, yet there is considerable under
current of religious concern pervading
the community. The meeting is still
being continued as heretofore having
one service at 9. a. ra. aud one at 7. p. m.

Water Works for Forsyth.
Our wide-awake city council, com¬
posed of men who are advocates of what¬
ever points to the interest, prosperity
and enterprise of the city, have devised
a plan for the establishment of water¬
works in the city, which plan is now
submitted to the voters of the city for
ratification. To get an idea of this plan
read the notice for an election relative to
the same to be found in this paper.
What we have said elsewhere in refer¬
ence to electric lights is applicable to
this subject.
It will be seen that the estimated
amount of indebtedness growing out of
the contemplated establishment of both
is $25,000, the total amount to be paid in
thirty years.
Now in considering this question, the
voter should put the $25,000 aside and
look at the annual cost to be met. which
an accountant that can readily compute and
see it will not be a heavy burden of
taxation for a city having the wealth of
Forsyth. Having done tills then the
voter should turn his attention to the
credit side of the sheet and see what
would be the probable income to the city
from both establishments. Then strike
a balance sheet to see what annual cash
indebtedness. outlay would be necessary to meet the
This is the business way
in which to treat the matter. And if
this be done and the croakers, if any be
relegated to the rear, we incline to the
opinion that the voters will readily con¬
cede their ability to assume this obliga¬
tion.
be Again, another very important fact to
taken into consideration in calculating
on this water works question is the very
great reduction of the amount of insur
ence that is now annually paid out by
the tax-payers of the city for the pro¬
tection of their property. The annual
saving from this source would be much
greater than many suppose aud this
should be placed to the credit side of the
water works balance sheet.
These are important enterprises and
their establishment will mean a vast deal
to the future of Forsyth, and will be the
best advertisement for the town and the
county ever yet sent forth.
Electric Lights.
After due investigation and considera¬
tion of the subject the city council has
decided to submit to flic voters of tlie
city the decision of the question whether
or not the city shall be lighted by elec¬
tricity. The
council proposes to pay for the
electric light plant in city bonds provided
the bonds be authorized by a vote of the
citizens. This is the question to be de¬
cided at an election to be held on tlie
18th day of May. The estimated cost of
the plant is $7,000, and to raise this
amount the qualified voters of the city
are to say at the ballot box on that date
whether or not seven bonds of $1,000
each shall be issued, the first of said
bonds to become payable on December
1st, 1917, and one annually thereafter,
the bonds to pay an annual interest of
6 per cent. Paying for the plant in this
way will not entail upon the tax-payers
of the city a heavy annual tax, even if
there should be no income from rents.
But it is reasonable to conclude that if tlie
plant be established there will be a good
annual income therefrom, which would
reduce the annual cost to mere nominal.
Then the question that confronts us as
citizens touching this matter resolves
itself into this, is the town able to carry
this indebtedness during the time al¬
lotted and to liquidate it when due?
We can see no peg upon which to hang
a doubt of such ability ancl therefore
see no reason the why bonds the citizens should
not vote for and thereby for
the establishment of the electric plant.
e do not hold to that unprogressive
idea that we should travel ou through
life in the same ruts in which our fath¬
ers traveled simply because our fathers
traveled in them.
Some of our fathers first knew our
present village. Forsyth as quite a wilderness
ing They died and left it a flourish¬
town, filled with refined and cultured
citizens. Let us, their sons, wjio live to¬
day, when we shall have gone, leave
upon it the inerasable footprints of our
progressiveness.
Memorial Day.
Next Thursday is memorial day and
everybody is solicited to be present and
take part in the memorial exercises.
Rev. M. F. Duncan has been chosen to
deliver the address which is a promise
that that part of the exercises will be of
much interest. The proper observance
of tlie the heroic day is a duty that the living owe
to dead who gave their lives
in defense of their country.
We published the program which has
been arranged by the Memorial Associa¬
tion for the occasion last week but
reproduce it this week by request.
The following program for the memo
rial celebration has been arranged and
the line will be formed at 2 o’eloek p.
m. on the puplic square in the following
order:
1. Quitman Guards.
2. Pupils of Hilliard Institute.
3. Pupils of Monroe Female College.
4. Citizens on foot.
5. Memorial Association.
.6. Citizens in carriages.
The march will be conducted by the
marshals of the day to the speaker’s
stand at the cemetery where the follow¬
ing order will be observed:
1. Music.
lain. 2. Piayer by Rev. J. M. Bowden, chap¬
3. Music.
4. Introduction of orator by Col. Sam¬
uel Rutherford.
5. Memorial address.
6. Music.
7. Benediction by Rev. T. M. Callaway.
8. Salute by military.
9. Decoration of graves.
The New Cou rt House.
Next decide Saturday the voters of this county
are to by ballot whether or not
the comity shall have a new court house,
This is an important question and one
that should bo acted upon wisely and
larger intelligently. That there is need of a
court house is generally conceded;
that the present court house lias been
pronounced unsafe by the best of judges
is known. Ilcnco the wisdom of build
ing a new court house sufficient for all
the demands that may be made upon it
is not to be questioned.
The burden of paying for a new court
house, as lias been shown through our
columns time and again, would not bo
felt by the tax-payers of the county. So
that need not deter anyone from voting
for the new court house. Besides it
should be remembered as we have be
fore stated that the money paid for build
mg the new court house, if built, will bo
paid out here chiefly among our own
people, and will therefore not leave us
poorer. This is a special feature touch
ing this matter that should not be over
looked. For if the money to bo paid out
was going away from us, and into other
sections then the expense might bo a
reasonable ground of objection to build
ing the house. Instead of this the
building of the court house will bring
into and distribute in our midst about
fifteen thousand dollors or more which
will be a help not only to our laborers]
but to all classes. So voter, when you I
go to vote for sheriff next Saturday be
certain to see that your ballot has on it
the words “For Court House.”
We are authorized by the board of
commissioners to assure the voters of the
county that if a court house be built it
sha.ll not positively cost over §20,000.
Of this fact the voters may be assured
and may vote for a new court house on
that assurance. As stated before we are
satisfied that a splendid and-an ample
Court house can be built for $20,000. This
will reduce the amount very materially
from the amount originally contem
plated.
—
Out-Law Them.
There are two classes that ought to be
out-lawed in every community, and we
regret to know that Foisyth is sometimes
infested with both of them. And the
vexation be but little attaching is that there seems to
inclination or disposition
upon the part of the people to place
proper restrictions upon these two class¬
es. Indeed, even the city council, with
all its vested powers, has never had the
boldness to tackle but one of these
classes, and with that one they have
never dared to go further than to de¬
mand that rings shall be put in the noses
of that class, while the ring is not worth
a fig in the way of preventing the worst
depredation that class commits.
The other class is allowed to roam ad
lib-i-tum anywhere and everywhere, day
or night, classes and they are the meaner of the
two because they make it a point
to sneak under the cover of night to com¬
boldness mit their depredations. They have the
and effrontery under darkness,
when everybody is asleep, to enter any¬
body’s and premises and search every nook
corner thereof.
The outside world might infer that
Forsyth with such a live and progressive
council, and with so refined and cultured
citizenship, is not infested with these
two classes. But to our shame be it said
it is a fact. Whether or not the allow¬
ing of these two classes to remain among
us and have the privileges that are ac¬
corded them is right we leave for our
citizens to say. One thing however is
certain and that is that when any of us
witness the depredation of either of these
classes wc arc then and there in a humor
to thunder our anathmas against them.
Would you have us point out these
two classes that ought to be promptly
out-lawed? Then remember they are
known wherever they have a place
upon the earth as chicken-cating-hogs
and egg-sucking dogs. Now if these
dogs especially cannot be out-lawed,
then the owners of them are privileged
to inform them there are other ways to
kill egg-sucking-dogs than that of chok¬
ing them to death with butter.

Go to the Polls.
Next Saturday is the day set for the
election of a sheriff for this county for
the present unexpired term.
In the management of the election the
same law will be observed that governs
in regular elections for county officers.
There being two candidates representing
different democrat parties it is important that every
in the county who is a quali¬
fied voter should be at the polls and vote.
No democrat should remain away think¬
ing that his vote will not be needful for
every democratic vote in the county
should be polled. This is the only
proper way to maintain the party organi¬
zation and carry out the principles of the
party. Besides it is due the democratic
nominee, Mr. Geo. IV. Newton, that
every democrat be at the polls ancl vote.
The people’s party is wide-awake, active
and at work for their candidate and hence
there should be no apathy among the
democrats. Notwithstanding it is the
busy season and you may be pushed in
your urday work, yet go to the polls next Sat¬
and vote.

often need a kindly, helping hand and a
loving word to help them over the rough
places. See that they have healthful
amusements and proper mental food;
see advantages, that they the have the same educational
same love and care that
you give in the your time daughters, of lest they fail
you your direst need.
A Mother.
Insure in the Arcanum.
The Royal Aicanum has again demon¬
strated its promptness in paying claims
against it and also the benefits growing
out of life insurance on the co-operative
plan. Tlie late (Sheriff King who was a
member of the Forsyth council R. A.
died on the Gtli day of Marcli last and
last week $3,000 were paid to his family,
being date but little over 40 days from the
of liis death. This last payment
makes the sum of $30,000 the Royal
Arcanum has paid on death claims in
this county, several of the payments
being made within 21 days from the date
of the death of the party. When
have these facts before us we feel safe in
recommending wishing life the Arcanum to any one
insurance in a co-operative
company. And when we see these good
results obtaining from life insurance wc
are somewhat surprised that more hus¬
bands do not take benefit certificates in
the Arcanum.
