The Board of Trustees of this school were in session Monday night. More than for anything else they met to meet Prof. Foust, the Superinten dent. , The question of adding two grades and making it a high grade institution was discussed. Next Monday night the Board will meet and settle the question. v The Advance goes on record this mornine as favoring: the addition of C f w the two grades proposed of making the school as efficient as possible We do hot hesitate to do this; we know it is right ; we know the best interests of the school demands it; we know the life and prosperity of the institution demands that it be made able, efficient, respectable and to do thorough work. The friends ol! the school did not know, at the time the election was held, how much money would be forthcoming. We now know that the 20 cent levy in the Graded School District, will raise $3,400. The reg ular school fund amounts to $1,500 in addition making for the Graded School a total amount of $4,900. From this must be substracted $i,eoo for enlarging the building for the white school, leaving $x,goo. Of this amount it will take $1,120 to run the school for the colored children, and $300 for incidental expenses of the white school, leaving $2,480 to pay salaries of teachers for the white children. It is proposed to run it eight months the first year. The cost of the six teachers employed for that time and Superintendent will amount to $2,020. This leaves $460 with which to add the additional grades. One teacher, by the help the Superintendent will be able to give, will be all that is necessary for the two higher grades. According to our figurine there is money enough raised by the present levy to do all friends of the school desire. ! But more than this : It is proposed to add the higher grades and charge tuition. This is, offered by those desiring to see the school a success, and who believed there was not money enough to add them a sort of compromise measure. But it is argued that making the graded school a hiph grade institu tion will damage, if not entirely kill, the private schools here. In answer to this argument we have this to say: Last year there was paid out by Wilson people to the home schools about $8,000! And less than 200 children saw the inside of a school building ! There are over 600 white children in the Graded School District! Now here are the facts: It cost last year $8,000 to educate 200 Wilson children. The Graded School offers to do the same work, for 600 children, as well and as satis factory, for $5,000. Is it not the part of wisdom to ac cept the offer of the Graded School? Is it not wise to make the Wilson Graded School able to do work equal to any Graded School in the State? T . - V -.1 . , is not tne iact mar. we nave sucn a school here the biggest inducement we cm offer people who desire to make this town iheir home? Of course. Ever since the question of a Graded School was sprung upon the town last spring we have believed that if, at all, it should be one of high grade one only limited by the means of Wilson people. We have said so time and time again. The enemies oi the school opposed it at the polls, either by voting, or regis tering and staying away. They are now fighting against the addition of the two higher grades. We believe they are doing so because they are still determined to defeat its ends, to make it the laughing-stock of all edu cational circles in the State to kill it and they know this will be effec tively done by keeping it a low grade institution- - The Trustees will do right to add the two grades proposed to add other grades as they are needed. ihe people ot Wilson who desire to see the town prosper, ro see the children educated, and the Graded School made a success, will sustain them in their, action. "Why don't you rake the officials over the coals for not building us a first-class passenger depot," said Mr. Ed. Barnes, last week, to the Ad vance young man. The officials can consider themselves raked, and they shall get a marked copy" of this. Perhaps if Mr. Barnes, Mr. Branch or some other enterprising citizen were to get the business men of the town to sign a petition for a new and suitable building, it would be it to Let that be done. Then send built Mf. Elliot. Perhaps he does not know our need. Invite him to come up. Treat him cleverly when he comes, show him our beautiful town, and introduce him to our hos pitable people. The chances are ten to one that he would give us what we need and deserve. Why not try it ? Tuition in Shorthand Free.

Some time in Aueust a crowd of Wilson negroes went to Rocky Mount to play a game of ball. They filled up with "bug juice" and, not having any money attempted to "dead beat" their way back home on a freight. They were put oft one mile from Rocky Mount and walked to Sharpsburg. Here they waited until the local freight, in charge of Capt. E. L. Carr, came along. Ten of them got in the caboose and told Capt. Carr they were going to ride to Wilson free or kill him. They would probably have done so had not Mr. Dawes came out to the train with a revolver and helped Capt. Carr put them off.

That Fox" Blaine, Dubious About the Future of the G. O. P. Elk ins not "in it" Don't Bet on Ohio Democrats Butler is All Bight Garland is Indignant Financial A Great Structure The Dem ocratic Missionaries Alliance Talk. (special cor. the advance.) Washington, Sept. 14th, 1-891. The Republicans are bothering their heads over the question of whether Blaine means to be a candidate for the Presidency next year or not. It It is generally assumed that if he wants to run he can get the nomina tion. The public are not quite con vinced, in spite of the demonstration in his behalf that he is willing to make the race again. Defeated candi dates, who have never been elected President, can be just as skittish as managing pohticans are of candi dates who, having been successful once, are rejected when they accept re-nomination. There are those who think Mr. Blaine would not hesitate a single moment if he telt that the prospects of a Republican victory were very bright. It is the doubt on the subject, they say, and not so much his health, that causes hesitation on his part. He will be freer to let the Blaine movement move under his peculiar smile after New York and Ohio shall have spoken this fall. The Maine politi cian is more entitled than was Herod to the epithet "that fox." And yet with all his cunning and his "magne tism" he is just as far from the Presidency as ever. One thing the shrewder part of Washington on-lookers take no stock in the debut of Elkins as a member of the Cabinet of Harrison. Mr. Blaine and Mr. Harrison are hardly so tresh as to give that special chum of the former's, the portfolio of war or the Interior, and thus confirm the reported alliance between them against Alger, Cullom or the field. No, if there has been any understand ing reached between these men on the basis either of Harrison's support of Blaine or Blaine's support of Harrison the consideration passed in the transaction is not a place for Ste phen B. Elkins. The news from Ohio continues to be favorable for the Democracy. It is claimed by Democrats here, who have recently visited the State, that the dissatisfaction with Campbell in Cincinnati is very much less thsn has been represented, and that the bitter contest between Sherman and Foraker has weakened the party to which they belong. Besides all that, a jealousy between Blaine and McKinley has cropped out lately to injure the latter! But too much ought not to be expected by the Democrats of a strong Republican State like Ohio. It would be a great thing if the Re publicans should be barely able to carry the state on general ticket, and it would be a magnificent victory if the farmers and the Democratic party combined could secure the legislature and the election of a United States Senator to succeed John Sherman. The reported utterances of the new Alliance President were read here this morning with some satisfaction by those who had feared that his election was a triumph of the Polk, or ultra wing of the farmers' move ment, in North Carolina. Editor Butler seems not to be considering the formation of another party, the only effect of the organization of which on a strong basis at the South would be the perpetuation of Republi can ascendency in the country. Ex-Attorney General Garland writes from Hominy Hill, Ark., to his son in this city, Mr. Sanders Gar land, asking him to contradict and head off, if possible, all statements or rumors to the effect that he is in any sense or ever will be a candidate, much less an applicant, for the vacant place on the Interstate Commerce Commission. He was offered an original appointment on the com mission by Mr. Cleveland and de clined. It is a position he did not want then and would not now accept if it were offered him. Besides, he wants it understood that he has de finitely retired from public life, and will henceforth devote himself ex clusively to the practice of his pro fession. The 4 per cent bonds received at the Treasury Department Saturday for continuance at 2 per cent amount ed to $164,930, making the total to date $24,394,300. The 4 per cent bonds presented at the depart ment today for redemption amounted to $133,800. The redemptions of 4 per cents -in New York on Tues day, Wednesday and Thursday of this week aggregated' $1,008,750, making the total redemption of these bonds to date, $11,880,850. A Happy Marriage.
