The meetings of the municipal
boards are becoming historic, by
reason of length and character.
From S:30 to 11:45 last night the
school board sat in council to hear
one new j)roposition—and attempt
to settle an old one.
The new one was in the form of
the petition noted in The New's, ask
ing that the opening of the scliools
be delayed for two weeks on account
of weather and water.
The old cne, that of the expendi
ture oT I he $20,000 bond money ap
portioned to the section known as
North Charlotte, including Belmont
and other sections on the northeast.
Tlie beard, in executive session at
11;3o voted to make no change in
the opening date, thus settling the
new proposition.
The old one in regard to school
site, or sites, tor wards 5 and 6 re-
maineth unto the end.
The Old leaders from each ward
v^ere at the bat again last night.
The old arguments were repeated
and talkers and listeners soon found
themselves in the same laoyrinth
of difficulty as they floundered in
at the last “site” meeting.
Mr. Cole Cuts the Knot.
Mr. E. M. Cole cut the knot of
ditTiculty, at least for the present, by
this proposition;
"I ask that this board do not de
cide this matter now. It is a matter
of serious import, and should not be
settled hastily. Many are not famil
iar w’ith the ground, or the school
acreage of population.
“I protest against anything bnt
accuracy of knowledge as to the
sites and conditions before this mat
ter is settled, and therefore ask that
a map of the Belmont-North • Char
lotte section be made and submitted
to this board. I believe it can then
understand this problem and be bet
ter qualificpd to settle it.
“There is no need of haste. A new
scitool building could not be built
this session, nor the old one (Bel
mont) be remodeled.
“If the $20,000 provided by the
bonds is not sufficient, let’s have
more bonds, or let them double tax
v*s. If the site cost $5,000 let a special
laj; be levied, if necessary, and let us
locate the school centrally, using all
the mone?- in one place.”
On motion of Cornmi-^aloner T. i-
Smith, the board, on this suggestion
of Mr. Cole, voted to defer action m
rei^ard tJ the Belniont-North Char
lotte Mte, until a map can be made
of the entire locality. It may be for
days; it may be for months.
The Meeting.
The meeting abounded in oratory
as well as excitement. The first to ask
the ear of Chairman McCall was Mr.
C H Duls who presented a petition
ngned by about 600 petitioners ask
ing that the schools be not opened
until Sept. 19. or two w^eeks after the
regular date Spet. 5. Mr. Duls supple
mented the petition by a strong argu
ment, from his standpoint. He argued
crowded conditions of the rooms, hot
v/eather, and ‘w\ater supply not good.
Mr. McCall asked, “what if the city
water is all right by the 5th, Mr.
Duls?” ,, . ..
Mr. Duls: “They will say that it lo
all right. ’ , . „
Even if Briar Creek furnishes
enough water, said Mr. Duls. -“many
of the children are away, and their
coming in late will be a trouble to the
tpfiplicrs **
Dr. J. R. Alexander followed. He
was strongly in favor of postponement,
but was also in favor of paying the
teachers from Sept. 5. “The teach-
prs” he said “are not paid enough, 1
know’ of no people who are paid as
little as teachers.” (“Except doctors
interpolated some one—” “except law’-
vers” “except preachers” and others.
Dr. Alexander also favored an 8-
months school. He thinks the hours,
the terms too long. Twenty-eight phy
sicians, he said, had signed the pe
tition for postponement. He said the
filter might not work, and the water
might not be good by the 5th.
Mr. Tomlinson asked: “How much
better will it be two weeks from
Sept. 5th?”
Dr. Alexander thought It would be
better—weather would be cooler, and
that if it was not good arangements
could be made for hauling water for
the children to drinkx.
Mr. Tomlinson: “How many^^oi tnc
children drink hydrant water?”
Alexander: “I do not know
the present. Last year about one-third
of them drank hydrant water.’
Capt. T. T. Smith: “How many of
those physicians (tihe 28) are mem
bers of the health board?”
Dr. Alexander: have no board
of health.”
Mr. J. Arthur Henderson was next
heard: “In my opinion 70 per ^
those on the petition have
attending school. I don’t think they
ought to have a voice in this matter.
The city physician, the newspapers
state that the health of Charlotte is
better than in years, that there is less
typhoid than in years. The analysis of
the water says the water is sood.
Strange nothing has been said of
the crowded conditions in the rooms
before. As to the children out o*
city, if some people prefer to keep their
children away, that’s up to them- ine
school is a great institution. It should
be governed by fixed laws open and
close at stated times. By beginning
two weeks later all the hot weather
will be thrown upon the children at
one time. I could get 1,000 petitions to
oppose the delay of the school op-
enlng.”
Col. R. E. Mason: “I have no chil
dren in the schools’, but a stream of
grandchildren, in whom I am interest
ed. I am a free-bom American citizen
and as such 1 claim to have a voice
in this matter. Two weeks from now^
w'e’ll have good weather and good wa
ter.”
Mr. J. L. Blakeley: “We can ar
range to haA'e water hauled, if neces
sary, for the children. I think it
absurd to postpone the school open
ing for those who wish to keep their
kids out of town.”
Bad Advertisement.
Mr. William Anderson: “I am op
posed to delay. It will demoralize
the school. Even the doctor’s who
signed that petition say the w^ater is
good. There is another thing that is
important: Charlotte has already
had a black eye by all the notoriety'
in regard to the water situation. A
drummer from Atlanta tohl me yes
terday that he heard in Atlanta
that there was an epidemic of fever
here on account of the water. He
was amazed w'hen he got here and
found no truth in the report, on the
other hand Charlotte is more healthy
than in year'.
“Another thing—to continue the
school into the spring runs it into
the hottest weather we have, June
is hotter than September.”
Dr. Alexander. “Are you not chair
man of the county board of educa
tion and do they not commence the
schools later, and do they not have
eight months sciiools, Mr. Ander
son?”
Mr. Anderson: “That hansn’t any
thing to do with this matter. The
country schools are run on a differ
ent basis.”
Mr. W. Nicholson argued strongly
in favor of postponement. “Advertise
Charlotte,” he said, “if thereby we
can save the children.’’
Dr. John Davidson delivered the Phi
lippic of the evening, hurling a thun
derbolt of defiance at Dr. Alexander
and Mr. Duls. He said there were SO
physicians in Charlotte and only 28 of
them had signed the petition. Among
from the list of those signed he found
that many w’ere specialists; somewhere
new-comers, some had no children, one
was an oesthopath, etc.
“Many of the old established physi
cians, he said are are not on the list.”
i “The petition w^as probably not pre
vented to them.
“Who originated this petition? Peo
ple who have thir children in the
mountains. Do you want to run the
city of Charlotte to suit those who are
able to keep their children in the
mountains all summer, or do you want
to run the tow'n for the benefit of all?
1 It w^ould be nice to send the children
to Florida in the winter, too—why
not?
“Dr. Alexander says the filter is ‘so
abominable.’ Wil it be any better in
two w^eeks?
“In your list of 28 physicians I do
not see the city physicians name. He
tells us their is less typhoid fever here
this year than ever. It is said there
may not be water enough in Briar
Creek—that the Briar Creek water is
not good. It is ancient history here
that when all other streams went dry
here in 1845 Briar Creek did not.
Tribute to Dr. Brevard.
“There w^as one mayor whose abil
ity no man ever denied. Almost his
last w’ords of advice as mayor w'ere:
‘Never leave Briar Creek until you get
to the river.’ I refer to Dr. Brevard.
“Why did the city leaA'e Briar Creek? 39^
The new' people do not know. The
city w'ater is good. The analysis says
so. The fact that the great majority
dring it, and that there is less fever
than ever, proves it.
.Mr. W. F. Harding followed with
a clear and logical argument in favor
of postponement. He also stated that
he was not in favor of 8-month
rchcols, also of paying the teachers
ironi Sept. 5, if postiK)nement was de
cided upon.
Mr, Duls had a parting word in ex
planation and in stating his position.
In executive session, at 11:50 the
board voted to open the schools on
the regular date, Sept. 5. The vote was
unanimous.
School Sites Again Vital Subject of
Interest.
W^hen the board took up the matter
of the Belmont-North Charlotte sites,'
two reports were submitted in a. ma- j
jority report and a minority. The form
er was read by Chairman Lee Philips, I
of the building and grounds com
mittee; the latter by Commissioner
J. J. Williams, a member of that com
mittee, from W'ard 5.
Majority Report
To the Honorable Mayor and Board
of School Commissioners, of the
City of Charlotte, N. C.:
Gentlemen. We, the members of the
buildings and grounds committee,
beg leave to submit the following
report, viz;
At a meeting of our committee,
held in the old council chamber, city
hall, at close of meeting of the cit
izens from Belmont and North Char
lotte, August 11, 1911, took a vote on
the question of school building or
buildings proposed to be erected in
that section of our city, and a motion
made by Mr. W. J. Gray, and sec
onded by Mr. W. J. Cook, carried;
Mr, D. K. Yarboro not voting, and
Mr. J, J. Williams desiring the priv
ilege of submitting a minority report,
the said motion being to use $9,000
for erection of building on Pegram-
Wadsworth Land Company site at
North Charlotte, and $9,000 to be
used for building at Belmont, the
balance, $2,000, to be used in purch
asing additional ground at Belmont
and improving thep roperty.
At a subsequent meeting of our
committee, held in thee ity hall, old
council chamber at 8:30 o’clock p.
m„ August 22, 1911, Messrs. W. J.
Gray and J, Lee Phillips were ap
pointed a committee to ascertain
w'hat they can purchase sites for
colored school buildings in Biddle ?nd
Fairview for, and what prices they
can get for thes chool house and lot
on Cherrj- street, near Myers Park,
and property in Fairview, which is
not now considered desirably loc-ited
to meet the demands for school fa
cilities.
Option of $2,?50 on the Gray Toole

Minority Report.
To the Honorable Mayor and Members
of the School Board of Commission
ers of the City of Charlotte.
Gentlemen:
in filing a minority report, as mem
ber of building and grounds commit
tee, in the matter of selecting a site
for the school building for Wards 5
and 6—or North Charlotte—I do so
for the following reasons, viz:
1st—We should stand by the origi
nal proposition (the campaign circular
issued by the school commissioners
previous to the bond election, which
designated thoroughly the point where
said building would bo located.
2nd—The site offered by the Pe-
gram-Wadsworth Land Company (af
ter looking at other sites—proved to
be the central site at present, and
will be for the next ten to 20 years;
also it is a saving to the taxpayers of
the city of at least $3,600 for a site
which would not be central.
3rd—It would be the essence of
folly to divide the $20,000 for two
school buildings, as the school board
will be unable in the future to main
tain two first-class schools in every
particular—that is to equip the build
ings in modern school stye; and abov4
all furnish a corps of teachers for each
grade suflBcient to meet the require
ments of al) concerned.
4th—The school census, as taken by
Prof. Huylick (at the expense of the
board) show's a small difference in the
number of school children in these
two wards respectively; therefore, this
point is not debatable in favor of the
present site, now or in the future.
5th—In placing this school building,
gentlemen, we have the opportunity
of a life-time, and one that will not
present itself again in the next 20
years, and I ask that you do not al
low a few selfish and narrow argu
ments, by those not directly interested,
appeal to that which is our duty in
this matter.
6th—Gentlemen, something like 200
signers appeal to you to place this new
building on the Pegram-Wadsworth
site, w’^hich would give their children
the same showing to school facilities
as those of the opposition—Belmont.
7th—In the name of justice to all
and special privileges to none, may
you vote in the interest of the people
at present and the future in locating
this school, which is to be the place of
training the minds of our boys and
girls for future generations.
Thanking you for your support in
that which is eternally right, I am,
J. J. WILLIAMS,
Minority Member Building & Grounds
Committee.
For Compromise.
Favoring a division of the money
as a compromise: Messrs. Heriet
Clarkson who spoke strongly on the
subject was specially opposed to di
vision of the money; Messrs. Wil
liams, L. E. Anderson and Cole.
Mr. Cole’s proposition as quoted
above was acted on and the matter for
the present is in abeyance.

A BAD LOT
When charged with being drunk and
disorderly and asked what he had to
say for himself the prisoner gazed
pensively at the magistrate, smoothed
down a remnant of gray hair, and
said:
“Your Honor, man’s inhumanity to
man makes countless thousands
mourn. I’m not as debased as Swift,
as profligate as Byron, as dissipated
as Poe, as debauched as ”
“That will do,” thundered the mag
istrate. “Ten days! And, officer, take
a list of those names and run ’em in
They are as bad a lot as he is.”
You’ll find a great many insurance
companies that are a “Bad Lot.” Not
so here, ail “A-1.”

FIRST
IMPRESSIONS
Many a -Big Business Deal swings on the pivo^
of “first impression.” Many a first impression is
gained from a letter head. If you would be sure
to have such fiirst impressions in your favor you
should let us print your letter heads on one of
our high grade papers.
While it is your desire to make good impressions
with your letter heads, it is our great desire to
impress you with the typography, the press work
and the excellency of the paper we use in print
ing your letter heads.
Send us your next job, and let us prove to you
that it is our aim to please our customers.
