SO ROOM FOR DOUBT. - - i - There are those vho are now say ing that the school tax will not re quire a majority of qualified voters in its favor, but only a majority of the" votes cst. We see no room for difference of opinion, a3 that part of the law reads follow: "If a majority of the qualified voters shall decide in favor of the special school tax, the same shall be imme diately levied by the board," &o. The registration books contain all the names of qualified voters at an election, therefore it amounts to simple comparison of the votes r.33t "for school," with the number of registered votera to determine whether the special tax has carried. If we understand the law (and 'we thin & we do,) those opposed to voting the tax need not cast a vote that slanders them by saying on 'their ballots "aInst schools,"; but can stay away from the polls when the law does not allow them to vote a ticket expressing their real senti ments. The result will be the same. A gentleman informs us that the ants are eating chinch bugs and that in some fielaY the destructive bugs 'have been destroyed by the ants. 'That is indeed good news. If Sola mon lived now he would prebably have still higher regard for the busy little ant. Monroe Inquirer. SUSPICION AXLAYED. The case of the lamented Mrs. "Cocke of AsheTillewho died by her own hand called forth the deepest lympath for her bereaved husband. What was the shock to sympathis nnz friends whan it was annonnced " that the body was to be exhumed on "last Saturday to subentiate or ex plode the theory that it was not suicide but the work of a murderer and thattoo of her own husband. A jury of inquest wss formed and heard evidence and reviewed the "circumstances, all of which they dV 'clare furnish not one ' scintilla of evidence against the distreEsed husband but to the contrary pro?ed r'that it was the purpose of the un fortunate worr?n to do jasfc what every circumstance surrounding the rse say that she did do. It is dis tressing enough that injudicious whisperings from suspicions as ioul as the deed suspected should ever nave made an investigation accessary. Wake county has 18. townships beside Kaleigh. If all these should vote "for schools" and not more than S3 others in the State would do so, the county would i?et$9onn fmm r- Thus do the prophetic jokes of the humorists come true. A wedding of cyclists took place at Epson the other day. The bride and brides groom, the witnesses, the two fami lies and the attendants rode to the church and stacked the wheels out side the sacred edifice. When the happy pair presented themselves be fore the clergyman, he looked from one to the other in a puzzled way. Both were dressed exactly alike. They wore the same coats, the same waist coat, the same breeches, the same shirts and collars, the same short hair, the same smooth face in each case. The embarrassed ecclesiastic was forced to say, 4Excuse me, but which is the bride ?" Here is equali ty of man and woman turned into identity. New York Son. I EDUCATIONAL PARAGRAPHS. The census of the children of school age under the new law will be taken this fall, and the appor tionment made to the townships on that batis. Townships voting the tax for schools will have longer terma than those not voting tne tax. Remember that the vote on local taxation fcr the public will not affect the school law. With better school facilities land owners ought to seoure better ten ants. .... ! Better schools with longer terms would have a tendency to increase the value of land and the general wealth of the county. " . t ' The mothers of the children of the county ought to feel an interest in the election on the 10th of August. A Card. We desire to express our most heartfelt and sincere thanks to our dear neighbors and loving friends for their deeds of kindness and words of tender sympathy in the time of our trouble, for which words are made quate. May Heaven's richest bless ings attend one and all. Respectfully M s. M. G. D eaton and Family. The Term "Sit" i ud "Set-" v ; Many people are apt to confound one of these words with the ether; The courts sit; the judges ait ; the jury sits ; our hens sit, and birds sit. We may set a hen, as we set a chair at the table ; but the hen sits, after we "set" her in5 her nest, and we, or another, may sit in the chair which we set at the table. A similar difficulty occurs with most careless writers in using Ithe word "lay" for "lie," or vice versa. We say (properly) the hens lay eggs, because something is deposited,' or laid, by our hens in their nests. The meaning of the word li.y is to place. The boys are said to "lay abed," in the morning ; but they lie abed. The little childs prayer is, "Now I (lay me down to sleep," &c. This is ad missible because the pronoun me" follows "lay." Otherwise it should read : "Now I lie down to sleep." We should writ o "lies abed;" the dog lies in the pdrah, the boy lies cn the couch, &c.
