/ In my article on this -mbject last <
?nk it was ihnwn that the five ru- i
ral High Sehboli af oar county are |
spending over $13,000.00 of their own 1
1 money this year,?not the county's i
money/ In order to make their ses--1
' sions eight months, help erect their 1
" buildbfgs; and pay off indebtedness 1
so incurved, they voted a Special a
Local School-Tax on themselves. This <
Special Tax in each High School Dia- 1
. ? trict iq.'levied separately, collected I
separately, and placed to the credit I
of the Respective. schools. This money <
belongs absolutely to these districts >
' The State' Board' cannot touch it, the 1
County Board cannot touch it, the 1
Superintendent -cannot touch it, pro- i

the State for borrowed money. Now a
remember the State has not given ,
one dollar, so far as" I know, to help 1
erect a single High School building. 1
) nor a single dollar to run the High 1
Schools, except three fourths of the 1
salary of the teacher of Agriculture, i
- sod $1250.00, last year and this year 1
at "Bethel Hill. This ia done because 1
Bethel Hill-put in a Science Depart- i
ment and equipped it. The State is c
ready to do this for 'all the High c
Schools SX soon as they .meet the re- c
qoirementa of the State for such 1
work.
But about thfcjr getting help from)
the County Board? Did the Boafrdj.<
. ' ?>_ build these High. School buildings? 1
If not, did the?Board go 50-50 with i
them as Boards of other .counties d*. I
to help..their High Schools? Xo in- t
deed. It is true that the.Board has ?
ijontributed some to each of these. \
buildings, but a very small amount m
as compared with the heavy cost, to e
the .community. These five schools i
have given in land for. schooF sites,
in money, *in labor,, and Jin-material, c
more than the total valuetyf all "school t
property ift the county, including Rox- t
bora, ton years ago. A t
Ten years ago^the total value of 1
the rural school property was $18,- t
750.00. Today the total Value of ru- I
ral school property is $175,000.00? t
$150,000 for whites and $25,000.00 v
for colored. The five High Schools i
have added to the 'wealth of the c
- Board of Education of Person Coun- s
ty nearly $120,000.00-in the last ten d
years. What a growth! And what a t
great WoTk has been done by these o
High Schools and the Board! a
* Now remember these noble men v
and women in these districts have I
dene this as a gift to the Board and t
. to the County. Every High School o
" made a deed in. fee simple to the 0
Board of Education of Person Coun- a
ty. The Board owns these schools and
all pertaining to them. Yeu see the
Board Is growing rich at a rapid
rate.
Remember also that these schools
raise over $13,000.00 annually which J
they voluntarily voted upon them-1 v
.selves to pay through their taxes. I j
Some people in the county pay 82 a
cents on the $100.00 worth of prop-" s
' erty,?and gladly pay it for the bene- j
fit of their children. , ' . *'
What patriotic citizen is not prond's
of..this fine record? Who can say thqt y
the High Schools are riding on the'o
rest'of the county? Is ndt the re-'a

ome very tryirifc times, such as tho
ounger generation knows nothing

nd hardships, that men of his age
nd circumstances have had to go
hrough, he never lost faith in "God.
[is wife died several years ago, since
hen he and his only single daughter
ave remained together. Miss Anna
eemed to be a most kind and.atractive
daughter, preferring to stay
rith her aged father and console and
Onrfort him through his lonesonje^

lost girls do and leave him entirely

Judging by the attendance from

ad been, living now for the past few

nust have. feltr most kindly toward
