The Dollar Day idea suggested by the Chamber of Commerce has taken root and is rapidly growing into ma turity. The number of business firms necessary to make it a success was readily Secured and possibly some others might have been induced to come in if it had been necessary. Everybody however whether a con tributor to the fjid or not is expec ted to boost the event because it will if it is successful prove a big thing for the whole town. The merchants have already begun to get their stocks in shape for the , big day. Each one has selected cer- tain articles which he will offer at the very attractive price of one dollar. 'As the articles offered by the various stores are different a shopper will be able to make the" round of them and get a good bargain at each plnce. Some of the merchants in order to be sure of having something especially attractive have ordered out new stuff which they will sell at sacrifice prices. They want everybody who comes to Beaufort on the Dollar Days to feel that he has been bene fitted by coming. The list of firms who are back of the big trade event is as follows: Adair. A Dill. Bank of Beaufort. Beaufort Banking and Trust Co. B. A. Bell. Beaufort Bargain Store. F R. Bell. Beaufort Drug Co. C. A. Clawson. Richard Felton Son. Gaskill-Mace Co. John Hill. C. D. Jones. M. C.

AH the members of the board, Composed of C. P. Dey, R. T. Wade.W. Irving Willis and County Superintendent L. B. En- nett were present. The reason for the large number ofisitors was the interest of the matter of taking over certain church and school property near Straits belonging to the North ern Methodist church there. As stated in this paper some weeks ago a tentative proposition was made to the board of trustees of the church to deed this property to the county to be used for 1 school purposes. The property consists of wo build ings and some twenty eight acres of land. The church expects to reserve about two acres of land and give the rest to the county, John A. Nelson of Morehead City trustee of the church who was present Monday made s statement to that affect. The idea of those who favor ac cepting the gift is that several of the schools in the neighborhood should be consolidateed into one first class one and that institution creat ed would be creditable to the com munity and infact the whole county. Not only elementary and high school work would be taught there but an agricultural and industrial i depart ment would probably be conducted. 'A good many of the citizens who were present 'Monday oopposed the plan on the grounds thai they 'did not need it and that they might have to pay some taxes to keep it up. ' The majority seemed to be opposed to the school but a few were in favor of it R. T. Wade made a motion that s deed if offered by the trusteea-ef the church would be considered by the school board. This motion was carried and it appeared that the board was inclined to view the pro position favorably. Some routine matters were transacted by the board after which it adjourned.
