CONSOLIDATION "IN BAD."

Just what has brought about the
peculiar situation in regard to the
matter of consolidation of schools,
we do not know; but the question
(as yet it is in the question stage)
has met with opposition under cir
cumstances that are - unfortunate.
The demonstration in the mass meet
ing in the courthouse Monday gave
open voice to the hostility which the
proposition is meeting in various sec
tions of the county.
From one point or another have
come murmurs of protest ever since
the subiect was broached. It has
been well known from the beginning
that opposition would develop, but it
was reasonably hoped that all the
people would at least be willing to
discuss it or in other words, would
not object to opening the discussion
upon the point of merit.
Now, what is the matter? Do
those opposing the measure know
anything against consolidation? Do
they want to know anything about
it? Or are they opposed to it on
"general principles"? Chairman J.
M. Hodges of the Education Board
advised at the beginning that the
matter could best be handled with
out publicity. "Let the leaders dis
cuss the matter with the people,"
said he, "and make it popular before
much is said about it publicly."
This was fatal error. A campaign j
of intelligent publicity, informing the
people of the great advantages to be
derived from consolidation of schools
if this had been done in the be
ginning, without leaving the impres
sion that it was a "scheme" that
"somebody wanted to put over" to
be sure the people of Harnett county
are willing to listen to reason. We
believe so.
As the matter stands, the proposi
tion is losing momentum, while oppo
sition is strengthening. This situa
tion makes it imperative for the
school authorities to let consolida
lion rest until such time as it may be
placed before the people in the
proper light and in an intelligent
manner. It would indeed be well
for the question to be held in abey
ance till the people are willing to
consider it calmly. It certainly
would not be wise to try to put the
proposition across if it should win
by a small majority. Intelligent pub
licity at the outset, we believe, would
have been effective in bringing the
question to a referendum. It is use
less to push the matetr at this time
Supt. Gentry is to be commended
individually, for his zeal in a cause
that would work to the best interest
of the public schools.

A twon that never has anything to !
do in a public way is on the way to
the cemetery. Any citizen who will
do nothing for his town is helping to
Atr ita irrave. A man that "cusses"
the town furnishes the coffin. The;
man who is so selfish as to have noi
time from his business to give affairs
is making the shroud. The man who
will not advertise is driving tne
hearse. The man who is always
pulling back from any public enter
prise throws bouquets on the grave.
The man who is so stingy as to be
howling hard times, preaches the
funeral, sings the doxology. And
thus the twon lies buried from all

LILLINGTON, N. C
We trust everyone will read the
sermon of Rev. G. F. Kirkpatrick
printed in this issue. It furnishes
food for deep thought. As to matter
of dancing, if it wrecks homes, then
for goodness' sake let dancing go.
It is hoped the minister knows
whereof he speaks when he makes
the assertion in regard to Samarcand
Manor. We are not informed in that
regard. The meanest man we ever
knew never danced a step. Probably
this case does not' hold in regard to
women.
It seems to us of far more vital
importance when the minister asserts
that morals have broken down and
woman has fallen to the level of
man in morality. "A community is
no better than its women.'' True!
In this connection we are reminded
of the following paragraph in a let
ter from New York to The Raleigh
Times:
Divorce is looked upon lightly here.
Despite the fact that it may be se
cured on only one ground, wives who
have been divorced by husbands do
not lose their social casts. Yet back
home women of exactly the .same
stripe lived across the railroad tracks
and came to town only In closed cabs.
They were not even recognized so
cially by the families who lived
across the creek. Their homes were
shuttered and even the very mention
of their names brought color to the
cheeks of virtuous wives.
But is it true any more?
