PLEASANT ELECTION] Three Hundred Persons Registered for the Election and But 127 Voted for the Bonds. Citizens of Mr. Pleasant Tuesday defeated the special school hond tax. the bonds failing to get a majority of the registered voters. Three hundred, people registered for the election mid 127 votes were cast for the bonds, this leaving 173, or a. majority, against the bonds. According to reports reaching this; city, quite a bit of interest was een-! tered in the election. Last year a ] similar issue was placed before the people of Mt. Pleasant and as was the) case this year, the bonds were beaten. j Advocates of the bonds started their campaign this year several months ago, but opposition was noted at once, and from the day the election notice was first announced until Tuesday, tin active campaignwas waged both by ad vocates and opponents of the bonds. Early this month a municipal elec tion was held in Mt. Pleasant, and that contest, according to Mt. Pleasant reports, soon developed into a contest between the advocates and opponents of the bond issue. It was generally believed that the side that won the municipal election would Win the school l>ond election, and this predic tion was fulfilled, it is said, as the city officials elected were generally regarded as opponents of the school 1 tonds. The bond issue would tax each .SIOO worth of property as much as 40 cents , for school improvements. The rate could not he higher than 40 cents. It was planned to use the money for big ger school buildings and more equip ment, according In advocates of the bonds. . v Davidson Deputation Team Makes a * Fine Impression.
