"Citizen" Thinks Graded School Han .Too Many Holiday. I am a tax payer and warm sup porter of, our graded school. It costs near twenty-five dollars (we think it rnofe) each day It runs. This school is the university of many poor people, , ucation. 'Three days days given to a carnival and two this week one to Thanksgiving and the other thrown ' in for good 'measure is going a lit tle too strong. ' The pay goes along. Cut it down . to per day of service and holidays ' would be kept with beautiful regular . ity. : : There is no charge against the prin cipal of the school as to the three days' solitude. We understand this was by order of the board. But we cannot afford to pay for foot ball games in "Norfolk or elsewhere, and we give warning now. The time has come when these Improvements paid for by the town should give the re turn in money in value received. The school is a credit to our (own, if it will only keep tunning. When it stops let the pay stop. Did vuu ever think how manv ehil- dren the present board has 'in school? vioou iuci uui wiicic o mat i o licen sures are , there youjwill find .his heart and energies. "Watch Wadesboro Win;" but nothing is more essential than a strong, consistent and persistent school. Citizen. Convention Aantiacrmcnt. The outlook. Is for the biggest Con vention in years.

Alexander Sprunt A- Hons, if Wilmington, have instituteil suit in the United States Circuit Court at Charleston, S. C, against Hunt-Stre-ter Company, a concern doing busi ness at Chesterfield, S. C, to iMimpel the piyment of $!,Nli.S(i, the tbflVrence in the price of 300 hales ol cotton sold the Wilmington firm Usl spring at 10 cents ami the price of the cotton at the time it was to have been delivered. Alexander Sprunt A S ir.s bought many thousands of bales of cotton, in both North and S.mth Carolina, last spring for 10 cents to be delivered this fall, and we notice from the pa pers that delivery in several instances has been refused. Their purchases in Anson amounted to between 1,100 and 1,200 oales. Of this amount 14n bales were bought in Wadesboro, 225 bales in Lilesville and the balance in Morven. All this cotton, we are glad to say, has been delivered, though it is possible the merchant through whom the sales were made may lose small amounts. As we understand the matter, nei ther the merchants through whom the sales were made nor the Spruuto themselves get the advantage of the rise in price. The Sprunts Bold the cotton in Liverpool, receiving only a small commission for their services; therefore the Knglish spinners who purchased it were the gainers. The Sprunts were not the only firm that purchased cotton in this county last spring at 10 cents for fall deliv ery. Rogers, McCabe 4 Co., of Nor folk, Va., also purchased between 1,200 and 1,500 bales, .at Morven, we are told. Peaehland New Two Marriage, Per sonal Item, Etc.
