An Elizabeth City citizen wishes to ask through the columns of the Advance how Mr. B. M. Biddiek of Gatesvllle scalded his eight-Ieet long porktff, whether he had a bran new cauldron made Ito order for this particular pur pose, or whether he did it on the in stalmebt plan? But we'll give it to Mr. Riddick that his unusual ability did not fail him In that crisis, after going po far as to produce the hog. All the same, we should be glad to hear how It was done." We are not at all surprised at such a question question being asked by-'a citizen of- that burg ven ".-by the editor himself, but out of the blest of feeling we must add a word or two. Way down below in Pasquotank Where bullfrogs7 jump from bank to bank A man would make himaelf a crank To learn to scald a hog like this. For firstly he can't raise the hogs Instead of pens, he has old logs And stagnant water for his frogs, TfTi '11 i 1 vi men dows ana arrows never miss. Instead of corn, he lets them sun From bank to bank they swim for fun And than he shoots them one b) one ' And straightway takes them home - for "Sal." And that is why these men can' A cauldron from for a full grown pig. ' They think they'd certainly have T to dig .'- Another :Panama Canal. . And then they'd wonder how to heat A place so big to scald this mea And put it down a hopeless feat Like Lilliputians as they are.. And now, my friend in. Gates, you see ; .How such a question came to be So make your explanation free . Lest you their - cherished hopes may mar. THE BONDS FOR FARM LIFE SCHOOL HELD VAL ID, BUT PROJECT CON FRONTED WITH DIFFI CULTIES. The Supreme court has at last i rendered a decision as to the! validity of the 'bonds votpl cn the Edenton Graded School district for the Farm Life .School. i i The bonds are held valid, but whether or not the people of our district would favor the bonds it i it Deino; soia unaer me circum .starces is xiuestionable. This school, if established, is to , bene fit the peoplev of the county as well as the .people of the, district and yet, under the exisiting cir cumstances, there is no certainity whatever of obtaining the 2,500 yearly from the county for main tenance ot the school. BeftTre this could become a certainty it would require a vote of all the people. of the county. Morever the state appropriation of the same amount is dependent upon this county appropriation, which two appropriations, if defeated by ballot would make the Farm Life School proposition undesir able for tjie school district, inas much as the district would have the entire expense while the county at large would receive its portion of the benefits. . There is a division of opinion as to the advisibihty of submitting an elec tion to the county on this matter under the depressing circum stances, as the people would be inclined to vote against any proposition in which the word "tax" appeared, regardless of its benefits This matter of a school has certainly come to be complicated. Already there has passed the legislature another bill allowing, the Edenton school district to votebonds to build its own school in the event the bonds were not held valid. But since they are declared valid and the election already having pass ed calling for their "sale, it re solves itself into a question as to whether the sale of these bonds was conditioned on county and state appropriations. If they were, nothing can be done till the county election is held. If the project should meet with de feat in the election, of (course the whole matter would be defeated and the people--of the district would be compelled to act in dependently of the county and state This they are authorized to do by the present act of the legislature.' .. the conference committees of rthe -house and senate having been adopted by both branches Mon day riight. The democratic legis lature has complied with the platform pledge of its party land, since start has been made; the present law can be perfected as occasion.deruands ... One feature of the machinery that should ap peal to candidates is- that which orders the election officers to.give all candidates good positions on the tickef. bv alternating the names of candidates at the top, middle, and bottom positions. It three men snoaid be running (for governor, far example, the name of one man would; be placed rst oi a third of the ballot second on another third and last on another third . In this way - the .-name of every candidate would be in first position on a third of the ballots. This would prevent any one candidate fiom securing the advantage of position." iiiii J. W.
