Amendment To Increase
Legislators' Pay Passes
Raleigh, N. C., Nov. 19.—An un
official tabulation of returns from
t jj e entire State made Saturday by
p k c. Maxwell, clerk of the State
Election Board showed that the pro
posal constitutional amendment to
increase the pay of members of the
Legislature passed by a majority of
.?l2 votes, but that the two other a -
jnendments were rejected by large
majorities in the November 6 elec
tion.
Early in the day, Mr. Maxwell
stated that with returns missing from
three counties, Jackson, Swain and
Hyde, all of the amendments ap
peared to have been rejected. The
three counties, reports from which
were received in the afternoon, gave
the legislative pay proposal a suffi
cient lead to overcome the unfavor
able indications.
}lr. Maxwell said that complete
figures for the State were not avail
able on the presidential race, but
SCHOOL VISITING
DAY IN TOWNSHIP
NOVEMBER 27
Patrons of Cool Springs Schools
Requested To Observe
Methods of Teaching
The parents and citizens of Cool i
Township Schools district are invited
to visit the grammar schools and/' the
high school on the morning of Tues
day, November 27th. Many of the
parents and friends of the school
would like to observe the methods
now taught in the schools. The op
portunities and advantages which the
pupils in Rutherford County have,
are as far ahead of the advantages
of the old log school houses as the
automobile is ahead of the ox wagon
in transportation.
What do you know about your
schools? Ask yourself this question
and try to answer it fairly. All the
should be given an opportun
ity to see the teachers and know the
methods which are being used in in
struction. You should see the desks,
maps, primary equipment and other
supplies of instruction.
The Forest City Grammar school
was accredited last year by the state
department of education. The Alex
ander Grammar School will go on
the accredited list this year. Mt.
Pleasant, Bostic and Pleasant Grove
schools have as good teachers as any
of the schools in the district. The
reason why they cannot be accred
ited, is due to the fact they haven't
enough pupils to employ as many
as seven teachers. All the schools
are doing standard work but only
three of the schools including the
high school are large enough to be
accredited.
It will be interesting for the peo
ple to know that most of the money
for this extra equipment was raised
by giving plays and other form of
entertainment. This with extra ap
propriations from the state depart
ment of education enabled us to get
this equipment and make our schools
standard.
Perhaps some people would be sur
prised to know that Rutherford
County has more high schools on the
Southern Accredited list than any
county in North Carolina. Also some

that returns in hand indicated that
Herbert Hoover's lead over Gover
nor Alfred E. Smith would range be
tween 60,000 and 65,000.
The complete figures on the legis
lative pay amendment were 147,946
in favor; 147,734 against.
On the amendment proposing to
authorize the creation of 24 solicitor
ial districts, the vote, with four coun
ties missing, was 113,750 in favor;
144,734 against; an adverse majority
of approximately 31,000.
With the same four counties not
included, the vote on the third
amendment, to authorize the classi
fication of properity for taxation,
was 115,713 in favor; 152,392
against.
The four ..missing counties in Mr.
Maxwell's tabulation were Hyde,
Jackson, Swain and Wake. The ma
jorities against the two amendments
rolled np in the remainder of the
State could not be overcome by the
missing ballots, it was pointed out.
people might not know tfiat nearly
half of the revenue derived from
special school tax goes to pay bonds
and interest on bonds of the school
buildings in Cool Springs Township.
Visit the schools of Cool Springs
Township, Tuesday, November 27,
and see what much of your tax
money goes for. The fathers as well
as the motherse are invited to visit
the schools on the date mentioned
above.
Some citizens might be delighted
to know that five to six hundred
dollars a year has been saved on for
the past three years. Some peo
ple do not know that athletics in the
schools ,do not cost the tax payers
anything for equipment, transpor
tation of players, etc.
Please visit the schools of Cool
Springs Township and get some first
hand information about the schools.
When you see what you are getting
from your school tax, you will agree
that this is the best investment that
you have made. School tax when
wisely spent is not an expenditure
but an investment which will return
greater dividends than' any invest
ments in the township.

and strengthens the weak tissues so
that they frequently recover their
previous natural retaining power,
needing no further outside support.
Stomach trouble, backache and cons

Remarkable results have been
obtained with recent and not yet ful
