A general vaccination, without quarantine barriers, was also favor ed and letters from the secretary of health of South Ca-ollna to Dr. Ran kin, secretary of the stale board of health of North Carolina, were read. Many of tbe members of the board of commits loners were In favor of the compulsory form although there were come to compelling every person to be vaccinated as thai, would create much dissatisfaction, on the other hand a general vaccination with no barriers on quarantine would mean that every town In '-he s'e would quarantine against Durham, thus Injuring the merchants and manufac turers In tbe sale of their commodi ties. Among '.hose who spoke In favor of taking action along this line were Major Crbtwold, Dr. Manning. Dr. Mann and Mr. T. B. Fulle-. Mr. W. A.

Tbe bill to establish a school to teach feeble minded was also en dorsed. The association engaged In a heated discussion yesterday after noon of the resolution regarding the membership of the state text book commission. Supt. Bruce Craven, of Kington, led the fight against the proponed bill of State Supt. J. Y.! Joyner, providing that the text book commission shall be composed of tbe state board of education and seven teachers. Professor Craven argued that the text book commission should consist of teachers entirely as tbey, are tbe ones who should know exact ly wbst books are best for the child. State Superintendent's Recommenda tions. ' Dr. J. Y. Joyner, state superinten dent of public Instruction, waa here invited to address the association. After telling of his pleasure at being in attendance, be spoke concerning two of bis recommendations to the legislature, which he said he under stood bad been criticised by mem bers of the association. The first of these waa as to having added to the present state text book commission of seven, which is the state board of education, two primary teachers, two city superintendents, seven in. all. He said that be was clear on this point, and that he would never agree to having turned down tbe state board of education, composed of men good and true, or reflecting on tbem by having an entire new board. His plan as to add a professional board of equal number, and that this ought to be satisfactory, and there would be professional and- business Inter ests represented; that the people at large elected the state board and were entitled to recognition. He de clared be would maintain bis position In tbls recommendation. The second recommendation was aa to uniform text books In country snd city. He thought this to be wtsc and economical, but, In view of varl ona local conditions, that If the superintendents' ' association voted that It did not want this, that he would not press or Insist upon It, but would bo guided by the action of the superintendents If, however, this was the view of the organisation, then no city superintendent could, with respect to himself, be on the state text book commission to select books not to be used in the city schools; that It would not be show ing refpect to the country schoolu. His purpose was for a closer union of the schools, but If the superinten dents .thought It best not to have uniform text books he would abide by their decision. There was great applause for Dr. Joyner, and he prepared to leave, as bis recommendations were to be dls ensued, but Superintendent Bruce Craven and Superintendent Alex Graham, of Charlotte, declared that tbe association would be glad to' have him remain.

Delegations Will Swoop Down Upon Raleigh This Week Raleigh Has About Abandoned the Idea of Securing t'ommisHlon Form of Government r'rom This Legisla ture Unless Slate-wide Bill Is En acted to Change Charters. Raleigh, Jan. 30. Delegations num bering into the hund'eds will swoop down upon t'a'j legislature thia week from High Point and Grccusboro, the former to presa their claims for the establishment of Piedmont county. with High Point as the county seat. aud tbe latter to oppose the move ment. For months the people of High Point and surrounding territory have been waging the campaign for the new county carved out of portions of Guil ford, Davidson and Randolph, and ever since the general assembly has been in session Piedmont headquart ers have been maintained at The Yar borough here. The Piedmont advo cates have chartered a special train of ten coaches to bing the delegation from High Point to Raleigh Tuesday,, and every factory In High Point wilj shut down that day to give their em ployees an opportunity of coming here to lend their help In making the de termined fight for the new county. Equally determined against the move ment will be the large delegation that will be here Tuesday from Greensboo and surrounding section. At a largely attended and enthusiastic meeting In Greensboro Saturday resolutions of protest against tbe dismemberment of Guilford were adopted and the Greens boro delegation will have some of that city's best speakers at the hearing Tuesday afternoon and evening befoe tbe joint senate snd house committees on counties, cities and towns. Each side will come to Raleigh confident of victory and the contest will not only prove Interesting but spirited and hard fought. The joint committees will an nounce their decision Tuesday as to whether or not they will report favor ably on tbe proposition to establish Avery county out of Mitchell and Cald well. The que. lon of establishing Hoke county out of Cumberland and Robeson has already been reported favorably, and will be fought out on tbe floor of the senate and house as a special o.'der la each house during be week. It looks like Raleigh has about aban doned the Idea of securing commission form of government from this legisla ture, unless possibly there is tbe en actment of tbe state-wide bill to allow cl'.ies and towns to adopt and change their charters at will, subject to the approval of tbe attorney-gen ral of the state as to constitutionality. Tbe aldermen are moving now, through a legislative committee, to procure amendments to the present charter that will allow the election of alder men by the voters of the city at largo, ' two from each ward. The present system is for each ward to elect lu jwn representatives on the board of aldermen. The aldermen are also planning to secure the right to issue street improvement bonds. Some want II30.00O. others want 1230.000, and the more progressive and daring In such ma ters ure insisting that not less than $300,000 sbou'c- be provided for the work durlg tbe next two yea.'s.
