At Yeateevllle on Friday. June 3
an election was held to rote on a
graded school to be run v)y specia

Charges of Irregularity were mad?
sgslnst the registrar and threaU ol
bodily harm made by some, sod foi

trouble of a serloua nature.

but the disturbance was soon quelled
and it was not necessary for him ic

TOMGHT AT THE GAIETY
THEATER. "j
This program la the beet offering
of this season. Our vaudeville bill
changes tonight. Mile Tina and Baby
Irene produce entirely new acts. Ev
ery one Is talking about the high
class work of this excellent vaudeville
team. Mile. Tina Is undoubtedly one
of the beet female quick change art-<
ists on the stag* today, snd her songs
and specialties are of the class that
pleases her audience every time she
appears. Baby Irene Is s marvel ?
nothing less ,*111 .express it ? for she
posseses a voice that Is simply' won
derful In a child of her sge. She Is
certainly a winning little soubrettq
with her songs and dances and we
predicts a great future for her.
The picture program for tonight
embraces some of the best offerings
ever made In the city. 'The Twb
Brothers" Is a subject undoubtedly?
one of the most pretentious ever un
dertaken. It tells the ttory of two
brother* in the 8panish Dominion? *
one a noble, upright fellow, while the
other Is a profligate. The disrepu
table boy, however. Is reclslmed by
the love of a little Spanish girl. The
production was made st 8an Juan
Csplstrano, California. ''The Pillag
ers," an Arab encampment, and "The
Bully," drama, are also the best of
their kind. Don't forget, the vaude
I ville changes tonight. Come early bo
'you can get a good seat.

|comlng ftrff Hbe lst'of July should
tal^e advantage of tbta opportunity
and exchange It tor a 4 0-year. -non>
taxable bond. 1 cannot exchange
prjrately, but blda can be made and
the bonds enclosed In lieu of the 2
per cent certified check, and I will
accept those bonds as cash.
"Now, If the legislature should
have to come together, It will author
ise me to borrow enough to pay' for
what bonds are not subscribed for,
and also allow me tp sell them pri
vately. There Is no probability that
the rate of interest will be Increased,
and those who lose the opportunity to
put In a bid on the 10th will not be
able to do so at any future time. In
my judgement, the man who waits to
purchase a North Carolina & per cent
bond will never own a bond, although
he may live to be art old as Methu
selah, and the suggestion that the
State Issue a 6 per cent bond is ab
surd. North Carolina can now bor
row all the money she needs at less
than 5 per cent, but the legislature
would have to authorize It. Even
If It were p^slnble to have new plates
made In time to deliver the bonds on
July l It is abBurd to thing the legis
lature would issue a 5 per cent bond
when the 4 per cent bond will bf
above par as soon as the depressior
In the bond marlcet is relieved.
