PITTSBORO’S NEW SCHOOL.
To Be Located on West Street at a
Cost of $50,000.00
The untiring efforts of A. H. Lon
don, chairman and the willing assist
ance of the whole board of trustees (
of the Pittsboro school board, is soon
to be crowned with success, if the
voters of the district will only do
their duty.
Some seven acres or more of land
was recently purchased from Jim
Scurlock, situated on West street, at
the intersection of Fayettevivlle av- i
enue. This location is iueal and the
general lay of the lot is one that
will meet every demand that the trus
tes have in mind.
The building to be erected will
constitute some 14 recitation rooms,
in addition to the main auditorium,
that will seat 500 or more persons in j
comfort. There will be every modern
convenience; lavoratorys, drinking
fountains, sewerage, steam heat and
electric lights. The plans as provided
will enable an addition to the mag
nificent building in after years with
out destroying the architectural de
sign.
On last Monday the trustees had
the matter before the county commis
sioners, and elsewhere in this issue
will be found the call for an election
on February 10th, for the issuance of
$50,000 in bonds to carry out the
plans of the board.
This plan is for the present school
district only, and the plan includes
tearing away the present school house j
and building one of modern design |
for the colored people on the pres-1
ent site, south of town.
The lot of the present school build
ing will be sold.
It is also intended to issue some
SIO,OOO in bonds at the same time by :
the town of Pittsboro, for the pur-!
pose of laying cement side walks in :
the entire town and grading the nec
essary places and streets, so that it
will be completed at the same time
the school will have been completed.
It is useless for The Record to tell j
its readers that this is one of the j
most laudable undertakings for Pitts- 1
boro in its history. A new school has
been sorely needed for many years,
and no one should miss the opportun
ity of getting their name on the regis
tration book and voting for the prop
osition. |
E. E. Williams is the registrar and |
can be found at any time at the store j
of Brooks & Eubanks. See him at I
once as a new registration has been
called, and after you register be sure
you vote.
The street propositon will be in the
hands of the town commissioners. See
them and g*ive them your moral sup
port, and let’s have a real town while
we are at it.
CHRISTBIAS BOXES FOR ALL.
A committee from the Woman’s
Club of Pittsboro went to the county
home on Christmas day and dispensed
Santa Claus to the 17 inmates there.
Each one was given a box of “good
ies” and they enjoyed it to their
hearts content.
The Womans Club is doing a good
work. Various committees are at
work at all times; on the schools,
streets, health and various other
branches.
After visiting the county home oth
er members went to the county jail
where four prisoners were confined
and gave each one a box. The fifth
box Was taken to an old co’ored wo
man, Martha Williams, who is 85
"ears old, and lives bv herself about
five miles from town. This old woman
was a cook for years at the Exline
Ho f el and for other famih's in town.
One of those who called on the old
woman said it was a pitiful sight to
see her. There was a little old one
room shack, the door of which was
so low that they had to bend their
heads to get into the house. Inside
the house was several boxes, a chair
or two and a table. They found the
old woman seated on a chair in front
of a fire that boasted of only two
sticks of wood. When they reached
the door they heard the old woman
singing, “I’ll be one of the Number,”
and when they entered they found
tears trickling down the old woman’s
face, but when she saw who had ar
rived she brightened up and talked
freelv.
It“ was a pitiful sight,” said our
informant, “and it made our hearts
glad to see the old woman enjoy her
Christmas presents.”
