Nearly Sixty one and a Half Thousand Paid Alamance Teachers. At an adjourned meeting of the Coontv Board of Education the ap " portionment of school fund* fur the year 1919-'2O was completed. This apportionment reveals some inter eating facta. The most interesting and hopeful fact discovered is that the various districts are waking up to a realisation of the fact that tbey must pay larger salaries in order to procure more efficient teachers and to hold the efficient teachers which they .now have. This is shown by the fact that while the County Board of Education apportioned fjr rural teachers' salaries for six months the sum of $59,200.26, $G 1,420.02 is actually bt-ing paid to rural school teachers. This difference of #5,- 219.77 is being made up in the dis tricts by local tax and private dona tiona. The amount apportioned the city achoola for salaries alone was $34,996.99, while the amount ac tually paid the city teachers is $40,- 601.56, leaving a difference of $5,- 604 57 to be paid by local tax.

Notice As to Influenza Situation in Graham From recent reports, it seems that the conditions in the town of Gra ham in regard to the flu situation is about normal again. If there is no further outbreak, it now looks as if it will be safe to lift the closing order about Monday, February 23rd. How ever, further notice will be given at a later date. Iu the meantime, it is earnestly requested that the churches of the town have no services on next Sunday, and that all other places covered by the closing tirder continue to give the same co-operation as they have been giving. Of course, the conditions will determine luture ac tion, but it now looks like it will be safe (or the school, moving picture sbo.vs and other places of amuse ment! t> open Monday, February 23rd. The health authorities ad vised thfs course, and it is purely a matter of precaution. Past experience has shown that the only logical and sensible course to pursue in a time like this is to play safe. Hence this request. February 11th, 1920. - ■ ROUT. L. HOLMES, Mayor. J. J.
