The schools will close on the 2nd day of May. A meeting of the Board of Trus tees of the Beaufort Graded School was held on Thursday evening of last week. An expression of opinion of the teachers as to whether the school should run nine or eight months had been obtained and a majority preler- red the eight months plan. Ihe board reeretted to have to shorte nthe term but owing to the financial stringency which has hampered the schools here, as well as in a good many other plac es, it was decided best to cut off one month. Tax money that will accrue will be used for future expenses. The board did not elect a superintendent or any teachers at the meeting. The News last week carried the in formation that Representative Luther Hamilton had introduced a bRl pro viding for the appointment of a board of trustees for the Beaufort schools, This bill has passed both houses. It provides that the terms of all mem bers of the present board shall expire June 13 and that the new board shall consist of nine members and that three of them shall be outside of Beaufort. The trustees shall be ap- Dointed bv the County Board of Edu cation and the Board of City commis sioners. At its meeting last wees the Board of Trustees passed a reso lution expressing its disapproval ol this mthod of choosing its member ship.

April 6 The scene of the struggle with the bill to raise reve the operation of State activi ties for the next two years was shift ed during the past week from tne House of Representatives to the Sen ate, which body has been sweating over the controversial Kevenue mil since Fridav. when it dissolved into the committee of the whole. It has been engaged in taking it up, sec tion by sction, and tearing at its provisions. Th Hnnsp. after having its week. passing it and being prevented from making changes by a filibuster, shov ed it over to the Senate as if it were a hot brick, but many of the mem bers voting for it, reserved the right to have another say, if opportunity amsp. to take a whack at the gener al sales tax provision which it con tained. Numbers of members voting fnr the bill as it was finally worked out, expressed the hope that the sales tax could be eradicated by the senate. The Senate, nulling off Its coat, ficriirotivelv sneakinir. waded into the bill Friday, clearing the lobbies of all vUitr,ra. in order to keep its mina on tha matter in hand. It scrapped ov er many of the provisions and the prediction was made that the end would not be reached until well into this week. The sales tax will be the greatest subject of contention. The helief has been and still is that the Senate will not adopt any form of sales tax, general or luxury, unless forced to do so by the House. As has been the general impres oinn for some time, it now seems that the Senate will eliminate the sales tax Drovision and substitute for it the increase to probobly $1,000,- nnn k lnnl cnnnlizing fund.

The voters, he asserted, will sup port the nartv "whose policies and conduct appeal to them as being sin cere, honest, courageous, best guar anteeing preservation of our democ racy and promoting freedom and happiness as against a life of tryan ny and strife.

It was the regular meeting of the board and all of the members, Commissioners Carroll, Chadwick, Guthrie, Styron and Charman Webb were present. After the board had been in session a short time Stanly Woodland, man ager of the Morehead City power nlant. wheih is now owned by the In ternational Public Utilities Company of New York, came before the board and asked that a franchise or permit be granted his company to erect and maintain power lines along tne roaas in the eastern part of the county, go ing as far as Cedar island, aiso w Marshallberg, Gloucester, btraits ana Harker's Island. A motion offered by Commissioner Chadwick that he put his proposition in writing was passed and about half an hour later the written application was submit ted to the board. When the board too the power matter up again J. F. Duncan was also on hand and asked for action on an application for a franchise which he had a month before. He said that he was trustee for a corporation to be organized to be called the Carter et Electric Corporation, or some sim ilar name, and that his firm was pre pared to start work within thirty days and would guarantee to finish it in not less than eighteen months.' After considerable argument between Mr. Duncan, County Atorney Luther Hamilton and Mr. Woodland, the board decided to recess until two o'clock and take the matter up a gain.
