K. L. 8tcw?rt Addressed Gathering
at the Highland School House
Last Night.
Before a representative gather
ing of farmers at the Highland
school house last night, E. L. Stew
art, aecrcrtary of the Washington
Good Roads Association, made a
most forcible and impressive ad
dress on the proposed bond issue
for good roads and the work that
It Is p'.annd to do.*
Mr. Stewart began his talk b y
explanlng that the movement was
not a political one, that It was being
agitated, by Republicans and Demo
crats alike. He went on to state
that it was not a move In which th
city people were trying to put some
thing over on tho country folk, but
a project that tended to aid In the
educational and spiritual uplift of
the entire township. Ho explained
how Pitt and Martin counties had
worked on the same plan that Wash
ington township is contemplating
and that It had bsen highly suc
cessful In the townships of these
other counties. Hlg discussion took!
up every phase of the work and met J
?very possible argument that could
be brought np.
At ths conclusion of his address.
Mr. Stewart anawered a number ot
questions regarding the bond issue
and detail* In connoetlon with the
road work.

MAY PUT TAX
ON TOBACCO
Rumored That Congress Is Consid
ering Taxing the Weed in Order
#To Raise More Revenue.
Washington, Dec. 2. ? The pres
eree here yesterday of R. J. Rey
nolds, of Winston-Salem, and a
number of other tobacco pien, start
ed a rumor that the coming Congrei
is preparing to lay a heavy tax or
tobacco in order to help rals^ money
for tha nations'. defense program.
When seen today, Congressman
Claude Kltchln, chairman of th
way? and m ans committee, which
prepares the schedules for raising
revenue, admitted that many mem
bers of his committee were urging a
large tax on tobacco. Mr. Kltch'n
hop s, however, he may be sMe to
at least keep the tax down to a min
imum.
If a tax is put on tobacco the far
mers and the consumers, it is said,
will besr the burden. While the to
bacco manufacturer will have to pay
I the tax this yrar on such packages
of goods as have already been put
up. the large part of tt w!l! fall on
the farmer who grows the weed, and
the man who ehews and smokes tt.
Tobacco, like optton, has bro?^
hard hit by thfwar. TobaOcomen
claim that It will be an Injuatlce to
| place aa additional burden on the
I growers by ^?vylng a war tax for
' national defease.

I DA LI A SCHOOL NOTES.
Editor Dally News:
Please allow us (Idalla Graded
School Colored) to express a few |
thoughts re'atlve to the many good!
things of this, a part of the "Qarddh 1
of the World." |
Wc arranged a splendid program (
for Thanksgiving, such an solos, '
duets, quartettes, quintettes, speech
es. recitations, etc. By 7:30 our
epacloua school houae was filled with
all ages from one year to 98 years
old. I have never met a more ap^*
preclatlve people.
Illstorleal'y we did our best to
make them know the real meaning
of a "Thanksgiving," and how very
much our President of the United
Stat' a and the Governors of the
several States endeavored to make
tho whole nation know the manner
In which It should be celebrated.
The deportment of all was ex- ?
cetlent.
We have organised a free light
school for all who will attend.
We t'achers have duties Incum
beat upon us, vis: to take care of
the buildings and grounds. Our flrnt
efforts wl!l be for beautifying the
Interior of the building, the second
the grounds In various ways.
We asxed our patrons to asalst
us In getting aorae curtain, etc., for
the different rooms. They helped
us to tho amount of near six dol
lars. Thus far, 'we hare a large at
tendance. We are badly Inconren
Icnced In the lack of desks and
blackboards.
We are doing our best to make
our school one of the best la the
county. We feel that ew have the
co-opsrstion of OUT progressive
County Superintended. Board o;
Education and our oommlttee and
patrons. Such cooperations are all
that progressive teachers want or
nead, glneer^ljr,
