FAIL IN SEARCH
OF OLD RECORDS
California Party Interested
In Old Estate Fail in
Quest for Old Books
A party of four people, understood
to be headed by Mrs. W. D. Ruasing
and from California, apparently met
with bitter diasppointment here yes
terday it failed to find records in the
courthouse establishing a right to
property in this county. Pacts were
guarded closely by the members of
the party, and it could not be posi
tively learned Just what they were
seeking to find. It la believed that
they were interested In an old es
tate thought to have belonged to the
Everetts in the early part of the 19th
century. This belief could not be es
tabliahed as a truth, however.
Arriving here Monday, the pqrty
entered the courthouse and inquired
after certain record* filed between
the yea# 1805 and 1860. It ia under
stood t}>at the records they sought
burned with the o|d courthouse in
1882. Information given to the party
by the Historical Commission, Ral
eigh, where the party went from
here, maintained that the records
were not burned.
Yesterday, the party returned on!
the strength of the information gain-'
ed in Raleigh and started another I
search. Apparently not acquainted in!
the work of chasing records and
guarding closely their mission, thej
party met with no success in their
search and departed about noon, 1
leaving, it is thought, still believing'
the records intact here.

New Voting System Proves To Be
Curies»ty; Is Improvement Over
The Old Method
"Held under the system established
by the passage of the Australian Bal
lot Law passed by the last Legisla
ture, the Hurst School election last
Wednesday carried by a 25 to 3 vote.
The carrying of the election makes
permanent the temporary arrange
ment of caring for the 40 or more
children included in the district in
the Everetts school.
During the past two months or
more, the children of the district
have been receiving instruction in the
school it Everetts, but the arrange
ment yva3 only temporary. Should
the election have failed to carry, it
is understood that the children would
have to return to the small school
maintained in the district up until
the beginning of the present school
year.
The election calls for a special levy
of 30 cents on the SIOO property val
uation in the district, and gives the
children there equal rights to the of
ferings of the Everetts school as en
joyed by those of the Everetts dis
trict. One truck will care for the
children, it is believed.
The new method of voting attract
ed the attention of officials, and ac
cording to reports the new system is
a marked improvement over the old.
It was stated that to learn the trend
of the election from the ballot box
at any time before the count was im
possible. Voters found a new type of
ticket, and the booth was somewhat
a curiosity. 1
The election was held strictly in ac
cordance with the law, officials hav
ing carefully reviewed the statute in
making arrangements for the voters.
