' ' VOLUME 3 NUMBER 36 FACTS IN BOND Mr. Johtt Hester 4 There WiUiBemiicJekse In Taxes, That Mqncy Will Be Judiciously Ex pended, Good -For Creedmoor ,, - The jproppseflL fschdpl bond isse isdicititgmnchinterest pro and Snptirtciplj2 Cqjo, I re gret to say, for, in my humble judg ment, it is an exceedingly good tftjng. And, Mi. ISditbririth'your permission, will trjr to tell ypur pitrois why-1 think, it is a; good ttnng. - f 1 & c - "r; f-'i ;In the first place, I want to say tat it h3aprDpoition submitted m a regular 'and cfpen way, to the jieople of the county, as a whole, say whether its wants to anticipate Certain funds annually accruing for the purpose of making available iiow funds in sufficient atnnt-to 'place every school district in the county on a parity with every other" with respect to" ltaflffafe!Htlgf Thefe" is; nothing-irregglar or underhanded about the pro)Qitirpeithersinjts incipiency, ints feecTure totlatef; nor will there have been such when the matter is closed. It was con ceived by honest, honorable men and is champonied by such. Every citizen in the county has?a right to his opinion on the subject, and every man is expected to jvptcr as he wish es, if it means the defeat of 'the pro position at a ratio greater than the free silver ratio of sixteen to one. j However, we should be able to disagree without abuse, and to ar oftie withootHasoUr T f If we can?r dq that, we must confess that there is methincwronff with our citizen snip. Kow tQ lhe nature pf the propos ition. . We have available annually for educational purposes, from all sources, approximately $45,000 00. Of that sum the law says 7 and j4 per cent may be set-aside annually f6r the purpose building school houses, which, means practically $3, 460,00 is available each year for building purposes. . However, there ate districis in the county that need adequate buildings now. There are children in the county in great numbers who by the present meth od, would be beyond the school agi; when it became possible to build an adequate building in their district. By providing a fund such as the proposed bond Issue would provide, it would be possible to serve all the children jin the county while such service would be of value to them. The boy or girl of the age of ten might be grown when it became possible? for his district to have art adequate school building. . To de fer provision for this boy or girl to a;:ime when it .would .be of no avail tphim is gross injustice. That's the sittiatiori. If you ant to do right by :Ml the boys and girls of the cotfntyrwustaldinl life time iheyVshPuldi be provided for. - v 'But it is said that it-means in creased taxation.

But individual district inter ests should not" determine a propo sition triat is of county-wide inter est. Furthermore, the county as a whole should be the beneficiary - of its corporate property. A railroad runs through my district.of Hester, arid the special tax is paid very lar gely by the railroad. But the peo pie of the Wilton sccttdn contribute to the support pf this railroad, and, in equity and justice, should he be nefitted by this road in our system of taxation That such may be the case, the county must be made.ihe unit, which the proposed ciianire provides for with reference to school buildings. Just another aspect of the mat ter and I am through. It is said that the special registration is ' required as a scheme to put something over the' people. That is not the case, but the con trary,., All special bond issue re quire usually a new registration.

CARR CHAIN OF MILLS TO USE ALL DOMESTIC DYES Close A Contract For Dye- stuff Which Insures Orilra tion Of The Six Mills. Durham, May 27 Julian S. Carr, Jr., president pf ti.e Durham hos iery m lis, one of the biggest users of dyesluff in the state, said this! "af ternoon that he had closed Contracts for the dye's tuff which removed that problem for the next 12 or . 18 months. Mr. Carr has been experimenting with a dye from a Buffalo, N. Y.; 1 r "11 t :j 1 r concern, anci nas nnany uecmeu al ter givi igthe dye a thorough test that it will meet aHthe requirement of his business, willhold just as well as the German dyes and will work with just as grerf rapidity. He be lieves that this will solve the dye pioblem. The mill has be n using this dye for the past few months. and has finally closed a cont act with the Buffalo people which in sures the Durham company with enough dyestuff to run for the next 18 months. 1 The solution of this problem will take one of the biggest handicaps f.om the manufacturing concern$ in the state that has come about as a result of the war. f There has been a great deal of talk about the Durham hosiery mills having to close down on account of the lack of dyestuff. All of this has been talk, for while the mid' only today closed the contract for the coming year, Mr. t.arri nas oeen prepared to run from monthr to month and was never in'ahy partic ular danger fromfthkt 'standpoint.

The shifis resorted to by the thirsty of that commonwealth prove the the officials are vigilant and that booze has become very, very scarce. We read that a few tlays ngo a funeral party. arrived at a West Virginia railway -station with coffin, pall bearers, flowers, two women in som ber. mourning, citizens in deep grief, tears and crepe, all complete and impressive. A grave had been dug and awaited the supposed remains. As what we may call the cortege was crossing the station platform with due solemnity, the bottom of the coffin broke and before the eyes of 'the horrified spectators there fell a shower ot quart bottles of assort ed liquors. The unexpected hap pened and a most carefull contriv ed, expensive and ingenious scheme was defeated disastrously, all the mourners and participants being put under arrest, we may assume that hereafter coffins going through YVest Virginia will be held as con traband of war until after inspec tjon. . j mt- SERVICE HELD IN NEW CHURCH j Service was conducted last Sun day in the new Methodist church Jisre, but owing to the inclemency of the weather the crowd was not what Was expected.

YEGGMEN CI1ALI FOR 5SUn"0F5XTO Experts Give Tiinerto Diffi cult Task and Are Disgust ed Yith .Their Jind The safe in the establishment of fiallance and Company, wholesale confectionary dealers, located on South Davie street in the heart of the wholesale district, was blown open about 2:30 o'clock yesterday morning but the burglars got abso lutely ryo thing, other than practice and excitement, for their pains. The safe;' a very small one; was with in three feet of a large plate glass window and so expert in the use of nitroglycerine were the cracksmen that the window was left fntact and nothing about the safe except the dopr, which was peeled upward as though cut with a can open, was damaged by the explosion. ( When the .proprietors arrived to open the establishment iyesterday morning, the front: door was stand ing ajar and there was a hble In'the glass in the door, the intruder or intruders evidently breaking this in order to gain entiance to the store. lust 55 cents had been left in the safe over night, together With some papers that were practically wortn less. An alarm clock placed on a desk about three feet from the safe had stopped at 2:30 o'clock and as it was wouid up it is presumed that ihe shock from the explosion caus ed it to stop. There was one locked compart ment in the safe, in which were th papers. The burglars never stop ped to open this box in the stor. It wa' pried out and taken about 100 yards away, where it wa fomrdbatP ly battered yesterday morning and with the papers missing. The 55 cents, all the money in the safe, wlTsTTeTirrn tlve office. The burgi lars, not knowing that Balance and Company never leave money in the safe, wasted quite a bit of "soup" and soap, and some time. The cracks arour.d the door of the safe had been soaped and the explosive poured in. From tne manner in which the door was blown off and by the way in which the nitroglyce rine had been used, it was appar ently the work of experts. Greens boro Daily News, May 28. IN Mf&IORIUM Mr. Z. T. Perry, passed away ut his home on April 9th, 1 q 1 5 . He was of a high character courte ous and kind always considerate of the feeling of others he endeared himself to all with whom he came in contact. He was ever ready to help any one who were in trouble or in need of assistance as all knew who lived in the circle of his ac quaintance, lie leaves behind to tnoum his death a wife 2nd' eight children. We shall see him no more here but will retain sweet re membrances of his sweet and gentle spirit while he was here. To him truly applicable are. ' Mere human energy shall faint And youthful vigor cease, But those who wait upon the Lord, In strength shall still increase. They with unwearied step shall tread, The path of life divine with grow ing onward more, With growing brightness shine. On eagles' wings they mount On wings of faith and love, Till, past the sphere of earth and sin ' , They rise to heaven above." A. L. P. BOY RUN OVER The i2-year-old son "of Mr. and Mrs. W. L.

The' boy was crossing the street when he was knocked down by . the .machine, which passed over his body.

The close relation between Cu pid and the culinary art was illus trated by three marital suits lately in New Jersey, one woman leaving her husband because he refused to give her tuikey at New Year's, a husband accusing his wife of mon otony in the kidney stew, while still another complained' that his wife cooked his pork chop in soap.
