Many of the schools hit their stride on September 17th, the day of the opening by or before the beginning of the present week practically all schools had perfected their organiza tion and settled down to a steady routine, the only major problems in some of these schools being congest ed classroom conditions and the slow ness of the parents in providing their children with text books. Comparing special reports submit ted by the principal at the end of the first weekthe reports for the first month of last year the follow ing may be of general interest: Beaufort The Beaufort School has an in crease of 43 pupils in the elementary ( school, with a decrease of only 4 pupils in the high school. The enroll ment at the beginning of the pres ent week for both the elementary and high school being 690 pupils. With 80 pupils registered in the 7th grade under one teacher, the State School Commission is being asked to allot an additional elementary teach er for that grade and Superintendent Allen has reason to believe that this request will be granted.

But with a bad wound under the girls left arm caused by a nail in the paling, that Mark swore he jerked away from the girl following a mixup be tween the two, Mark went to the roads for ninety days.

Mr. Parsons has announced that this new store will open next Thursday. The new store of the Noe Hard waro Company presents a most pleas ing appearance. With added floor space a better display of the exten sive line as carried by this firm can be shown to better advantage. Mr. Noe and his associates extend to his many customers as well as all others a hearty invitation to visit the new store.

C. Supreme Court in re ply to a question from Governor Eh ringhaus. The court, while the 1933 General Assembly was in session, was asked for and gave an opinion that; the legislative measure, then pend ing, would make the election it call ed for last November a general election and would tlus permit a vote on calling a convention, or no con vention, for repeal of tre 18th amend ment. Having declared that a "gener al election," the court now holds that that election was "the next gen eral election," the words the Consti tution uses in providing for elections to vote on constitutional changes. The result will be no election this fall, but the General Assembly of 1935 may call one for next year, or the year following. The proposal gave all evidence of becoming a bitter contest, to be wag ed in large measure between the pres ent administration forces and the anti-administration forces. It was be ginning to be a political line-up. Op ponents of the revised constitution contend that it would have been de feated by a huge majority, and there . is some ground for the belief that it would have been defeated, due in part to inertia and opposition to change. However, a strenuous cam paign would have been waged by the. proponents to inform the people of the provisions of the new document. Also, the opponents were organized to oppose, it is probable Just as well that the technical defect was found, anyway. It will at least give a chance to eliminate the most objectionable features and re-submit it, if that is desjred.
