PRICE FIVE CENTS, KINSTON LEADS EASTERN TOWNS Has Become a Diversified Manufacturing City. 4 TO VOTE ON A SCHOOL TAX Present Graded Schools Hampered by Inadequate Quarters. K'NSTON IS PROSPERING ON TRUCK FARMS Its Tcbacco Market is One of the Largest in the South- A Glance at Its Growth Sir.ce the Federal Troops Cap tured It. (Special to The News and Observer.) Kinston, N. C., May 2.—Travelers pass ing over the Atlantic and North Carolina Railway need no pen picture to convince them of the fact that the capitol of Le noir county is a live, progressive town, taking on city-like proportions. Indeed, from the car windows, in passing through Kinston, the watchful eye is greeted in every direction with evidence conclusive. The buzz of the saw, the hum of the ham mer, the click of the masons’ trowel tell their own story, as building after build ing is rapidly being erected. Truly the hamlet that was captured by the Federal forces some forty odd years ago is lost sight of in the hustling town of today with its beautifully shaded streeets, cozy dwellings, mammoth mercantile houses, tobacco warehouses, prize houses, stem meries, varied manufacturing enterprise* banking institutions and splendid hotel and boarding houses.. Within the cit limits there are 136 mercantile firms numerous trucksters’ stalls. 9 saloons, hotels, (of these a 2-story brick build ing of 20 rooms with modern equipmen owned by a colored man and kept forth patronage of colored people), numerou boarding houses, 4 banks, with an opei ating capital of three hundred and fift thousand dollars, one of these the Clti zens’ Savings, N. J. Rouse, president just organized; one other a Dime Sa\ ings, owned and operated by a colore man, the deposits of which only a few days since were $10,927.45, a sanitarium, an apiary, where in beauty, the busy bee has deposited and made most delicious honey from the sweets gathered from the pretty flowers of neighboring fields and woodland. 2 lumber plants of some 80,000 feet daily output with tram road running out 20 to 30 miles to the pine timber for ests. 1 knitting mill for the manufacture of all kinds of hosiery with an output of 425 dozen per day, 1 cotton mill whose daily output of yarns is 6,000 pounds, 1 furniture factory. 1 ice factory of 10 tons daily capacity, 2 buggy factories, 1 ma chine shop, 2 brick plants, 1 corn and feed mill, 1 mantel,, sash, door and blind fac tory, 1 oil mill, 5 tobacco warehouses with 10 steam houses and 6 prize houses underway for the approaching season which opens August Ist, 1 electric light plant, an excellent afternoon daily, the “Evening Free Press,” 2 Baptist, 1 Epis copal, 1 Presbyterian, 1 Disciplo, 1 Metho dist church and chapel, and a system of graded schools for white and colored with an enrollment for whites of 600, for col ored of 350. Os this graded school system, Prof. L. Crammer Brogdea, a Wayne county hey, an intellectual giant of splendid execu tive ability and sterling characte-, is su perintendent. Prof. Brogden, in the school for whites, is surrounded by an able corps of 10 teachers, all of whom are doing a most excellent work, but. my, my, how they are hampered by quarters inadequate to the demands upon them. This misfortune, however, will not long remain to cripple and hinder, for the people of progressive Kinston will on Monday next approve an issuance of bonds in the sum of $20,000 to meet these very needs. And right gladly will they be proud of it, too. There be some yet, among the best people of the town, who have not fully determined to put their shoulders also to the wheel and make the victory, as they should, a unanimous one, bu* many of these will think and act dif ferently by Monday and get on the hand wagon of educationl endeavor that is surely heading Kinston way. Passing through the city yesterday, your corre spondent heard the school question and proposed bond issue discussed on every hand arid the prevailing sentiment was that the bond issue would be opproved by a good majority. This is as it should be. A town with the advantages of Kin ston that is rapidly forfing ahead as a /manufacturing and commercial center, cannot afford to take a back seat along educational lines and I cannot believe Kinston will. The graded school Is a boon to the poor man with one or more children to prepare for usefulness. In no other way can he educate so cheaply. Certainly he cannot for so little a sum as his graded school tax, for any one year provide a single term in any private school. Parents of Kinston, your hoy and girl of today, the man and woman of to morrow, appeal to you in this matter so fraught with well bring to them. In passing. I would speak yet of the Kinston of today. FERTILE FIELDS. For miles in every direction fertile fields abound where diversified craps are grown by sturdy, energetic fanners and of this back country and its people Kin sou is very proud.
