T A. Ausley, J. E. Moore, G. M. Womble, E. E. Wilson and John Williams have been appointed road commission ers for Cape Fear township to have charge of the work on the permanent improvement of the roads of the township It will be remembered that at the elec tion last month that township voted for an issue of $50,000 worth of bonds for good roads. This worc will improve the road from the Wake county line to Haw river, about seven miles and thereby 11 the gap in the road from Raleigh to Sanford. At the recent election held in Bethel school district. New Hope township, on the question of levyingxa special school tax the vote was a tie. There were only 24 registered voters and every one of them voted, 12 for and 12 against the proposed t?x. As the law requires a majorib of the registered voters for the rax it was defeated This elec tion shows the importance of one vote. fov if one more vote had been in favor of the tax it would have been carried. We have received a neatly printed invitation to attend the Hosing exercises of the Mann dale Institute, which will be held on the 12th. 13th and 14th of this month.

A very old pocket medical case was found last week in the loft of the old building that was torn down to make room tor the erec tion of the new brick building by the Union Supply Company. The leather was rotten and the case had fallen to pieces, but there uite a number of small vials filled with calomel and oth er medicines that seem to be well nreserved. In the case was a plainly writ ten prescription by Dr. Charles E. Johnson, of Raleigh, who died manv vears aero. Ihere was no mark or other indication to show who was the owner of the old case, and it is strange how it could have been put and left in the place where it was found. A Goodly Devise.

Primary Election. The county board of elections has appo'nted the following reg istrars for the primary election, which will be held on the 3rd of June, and for the general elec tion which will be held on the 7th of November: Albright- W. E. Jonhson. Buckhorne C. S. Harrington. Siler City-J. S. Wrenn. Mt. Vernon Springs J. M. Foust. Hadley-A. F. Whitaker. Richmond -G B Emerson. Oakland Colon Pattishall. New Hope O. M. Poe. Hickory Mt. J. B. Burke. Baldwin K. H. Hackney. Bear Crek-D. H. Ellis. Center W. L. Johnson. Haw River T. J. Womble. Gulf D. E. Murchison. Merry Oaks-W. C. Stone. Williams J. J. Bryant. At the primary election, which will be the first ever held in this county, the registered voters of either party can vote for any one of the candidates of their respect ive parties. Persons already reg istered need not register again. but persons not registered must register in order to vote at the primary. Books of registration were opened on the 27th of last month and will close at sunset on the 20th of this month. Bear in mind that this primary is for both parties at the same time. Teachers Elected. The school committee of this school district (No. 6 in Centre township) held a meeting last Friday and re elected all the old teachers. We do not wish to be misunderstood as meaning that those teachers are old, for no such thing, as they are all young and marriageable. We simply mean that the present, incum bents were re-elected. They ar Mr. Earle R. Franklin, principal: Miss Margaret Gulley, assistani principal; Miss Nellie Pilkington and Miss Mary Utley, teachers in the higher grades, and Mrs Mary A. Barber, teacher in the lower grades. Any school is for tunate in having sujh efficient teachers. The committee also re-elected the teachers in the colored school. and theji are Tamar Crump, prin cipal, and Rebecca Womack, as sistant. Their re-election indi cates their efficiency. I Republican Convention . A call has been issued by Dr H. T. Chapin, as chairman of the Republican county executive com mittee, for a county convention to be held here on the 11th of this month. As stated in the official call the object of tie meeting is "to select candidates for the legislative and county rv a I a " ? J j.t omcers to oe votea ior at me legalized primary." This action justifies the asser tion made last week by the Record that "the Democrats be lieve in letting the people rule, but the Republicans seem to be lieve in letting the bosses rule." The Republican leaders will cau cus here on the 11th and dictate to the masses of their party the candidates for whom thev must vote at the piimarv on the 3rd of June, and thus the primary will be a farce as to them. The Republican voters will be allowed by their leaders to vote at the primary but they will have to vote for the men selected by them. There will be no choice about it, and yet the Republican leaders prate a good deal about letting the people rule! School Commencement. The closing exercises of the Pittsboro high school and grad ed school began last Friday night and ended last night, and all were attended by large crowds. On Friday night the younger pupils had their exercises which were much enjoyed, especially bv the oroud parents of the voung "hopefuls." On Monday night was held the annual declamation and recita tion contests given by the two literary societies. Ihere was much interest taken in these two contests and all competitors did well. The gold medal for the best declaimer was awarded to Mr. Raymond Knight and the gold medal for the best recita tion was awarded to Miss Kath erine Eubanks. Last night the annual literary address was delivered by Hon. T, W. Bickett, which was a. rare trea to all who were so fortu nate as to be present. We will not attempt even a synopsis ot I this admirable address, in wnih I tne disunguisneu speaker xuuy ' sustained his reputation as one of , . e-tertamiMf and elo- !" orators in this state. After the address of Mr. Bick- ett diplomas were presented to the graduating class, consisting L London Anderson, Cath -me Wfc Mary Bland, SrS - , - mpnTinnp(1 f as receiving the next highest - ailU T J-riuwu va. ... . . marks. To The Editor of the Record :- So far I bave seen no names mentioned for County Commis sioners for the coming primary and election and I am suggest ing to the voters the name of Robert Moore of Bynum. Mr. Moore is a successful business man and whoever succeeds with his own business is a good man to trust with the affairs of the Countv. I just want to suggest his name as I think he will make a good Commissioner. Baldwin Township thinks she is entitled to a Commissioner and the name of Robert Moore will suit us and I believe will suit the whole County. Respectfully, J. G. HAMLET.
