Under the provisions of" a bill passed by the last Legislature en titled an "act to imnrove th rnadn in N"ev Hanover county," an elec tion has been ordered tv: Ka 'hoii May 2d to ascertain whether or not a majority of the qualified voters of ww county iavor tha i rati anon nf fifty thousand dollars in bonds for road improvement outside the cor porate limits of the city. The law says: "Said Board of Commissioners shall for at least thirty days preceding said election give public notice-of said election and the purpose thereof by publi cation in one or more newspapers puDirenea in said county." As this has not been done, and cannot now be done, we do not., see how a legal election can be held. The law says at least thirty days' notice must be. giyen.- - If the Commissioners ' can call the election v on twenty-three days' notice, they can call it on ten days' notice. " 1 As is known to its readers, the Star declared its opposition to this bond issue as soon as the bill was introduced in the Legislature. We favor a liberal annual tax for road improvement, but we are opposed to any increase in the bonded debt of the city of Wilmington just now. That debt already approximates $800,000, and the annual interest charges are -nearly $43,000. But you will be told that these bonds are to be county bonds. Yea, verily county bonds in name, but city bonds in substance. Go to the tax-books and yon will find that the city of Wilmington pays eight ninths of the county taxes. We heard some talk during the last campaign about "White Su premacy." Yet . here we are sub mitting a question of vital impor tance to the people which, if car ried at - all, must be carried by the negro vote. Every negro whose name was on the regis tration books on the 8th of last November (and there are nearly three thousand of them) can vote on thi3 bond issue, although, with few exceptions,, they would contri bute in taxes comparatively nothing towards the payment of the bonds or interest. " ; The Star will probably have very little more to say on this subject. Nor will we open our columns to an interminable discussion of the ques tion by correspondents. We wish simply to letit be understood (1) that we do not believe the proposed election will be a legal one, (2) that we do not favor the bond issue, and (3) that we do favor a county tax sufficient to build five miles of ma cadamized road every year. But no bond issue through the negro vote. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. D. L. Gore Mullets. Mercer & Evans Sole agents. ? King Grocery Co. Inspection. LOCAL DOTS.

Provisions of the Act. The act under which the election is called empowers the County Commis sioners to submit the question to the qualified, voters of New Hanover on the first Tuesday in May and expressly provides that they "shall for at least thirty days preceding said election, give public notice of said election and the purpose thereof by publication in one or more newspapers published in said county." The act further provides that the election shall be held and conducted in the same manner as is prescribed by law for holding elections for mem bers of the General-Assembly, but em powers the county commissioners to appoint registrars, judges of election or other officers necessary, and makes it optional with them as to ordering a new registration. , It was. decided by the meeting yesterday afternoon to have only a revision of the registration books of the election of November last. Ballots to. be used on the day of election are to have printed on them "For Good Roads." or "Against Good Roads." The amount of the bonds to be voted for is $50,000, issued in denominations not exceeding $1,000, and not less than $100. Interest on the same shall not exceed five Der cent, per annum, with interest coupons attached payable semi-annually ; the principal ispay able or redeemable at any time not ex ceedinsr twenty-five years from the date of issue. None of the bonds so authorized shall b3 disposedpt for a less price than their face value and the proceeds of any sale shall be turned over to the County Treasurer, who shall keep th amount with all accounts separate and distinct from other county funds, and shall execute a bond for the safe keeping of such funds at least fifty per, cent, greater than . the amount involved. The tax '- for the maintenance of the bonds shall be levied by the com missioners annually on the first Mon, day in June and is not to exceed eight cents on the hundred dollars' worth of property and twenty-five cents on the jjruycifcjr auU .n j poll. It is to be collected as overtaxes are paid, and shall be a separate fund and applied first to the payment of in terest on bonds and then to the crea tion of a sinking fund for the redemp tion of said bonds.

The roadbeds constructed under pro visions of the act shall not be less than twenty or more than thirty feet wide, at least twelve feet of which shall be macadamized.
