A Pica for Clean Side-Walks. 1
We quite agree with our cor44
c
respondent, Poor Conrad," that
steps should be taken to keep t
the side-walks clear of apple and t
banana neelings and other germ- 8
producing rubbish. The Civic *
Q
League placed cans alongside ^
the pavements and even employ- j
; ed a man to look after the side- o
walks on Main and Academy' li
streets, which was an excellent j
thing for the town, but the good I.
ladies fur some reason seem to r
F
have relaxed their efforts, to some c
extent at least. We think the E
* Civic League should receive the o
aid and encouragement of every
one in their praise-worthy efforts 0
tkV to cleanse and beautify the streets,1
1 B
i and if the undertaking prove f,
too much for them the town h
council should aid them to continue
the good work. ^
The anti-spitting ordinance is
/ &]
a good suggestion. Physicans tell
w clJ
us that there is no quicker way
to disseminate disease germs than oi
by the sputum of persons atliicted
with certain contagious diseases.
Such an ordinance is sure to ji
come sooner or later, so why not
pass it now? In many cities
special plain clothes ollicers are \\
detailed to watch the sale-walks is
and they are kept as clean :is a 'a
(/
Hoor. Onlv a few months ago in j ,

?or some otlicial of the Chamber of

or writing in chalk on the -ide- [
walk?if we remember aright - the
i
appeal: "I've j?;iid my dollar js

It may take time to bring !r(
about much improvement along jT
these lines, the town ha* rocked; '

Death ol Mr. John S. Graham.
Nesmith, October 23:*?It is my
painful duty to chronicie the death
of one of our best citizens, Hon
John S Graham, which sad even"
took place at his home at Morrisville
Wednesday morning; October 18, after
an illness of about tw6 months.
When he was first taken sick his
physician advised a change of climate
and he immediately went to
\sheville, N C, where he received
the best attention for a nlonth; but J
*
nstead of being benefited he gradually
grew worse. About two weeks
igo he was brought home, "but with
ill the tender care and nursing of
'amily, friends and physician, death
rould not be stayed.
Mr Graham being so well kno^vn
0 the readers of The Record, I feel
hat an attempt on my part to give
1 sketch of his life would be useless,
doubt if there was a man in the
ounty better known than Mr Graiam,he
having represented the couny
in the General Assembly for eight
r ten years, retiring from public
ife two years ago.
Mr Graham was of a kind and geial
disposition, quiet and unassumig?
the perfect type of honesty,
'or a number of years he was a
onstant member of the Black Mingo
iaptist church. In his death the.
ounty has lost one of its best men.
On Thursday afternoon at 3
'dock his remains were laid to rest
1 the old Belin cemetery, there to j
wait the final resurrection. The
jneral services were conducted by
is pastor, Rev H C Haddock.
Mr Graham was 64 years of age.
[e leaves a devoted wife, four sons,
?ven daughters and a host of friends
ad relatives to mourn their irreprable
loss. May He who doeth all
lings well comfort the bereaved
aes in this their dark hour.
