ROAD BILL PASSES HOUSE SAURATOWN, MEADOWS AND DANBURY l/NI LUCK ACT REQUIRING STOKES COMMISSIONERS TO REFUND RAILROAD TAXES TO THE THREE TOWNSHIPS THAI VOTED THEM, WILL BE COME LAW-COMMISSIONERS SAY IT IS UNJUST-TOWNSHIPS DE CLARE RIGHT IS ON THEIR SIDE. A bill supplemental to chapter 448 of Public Laws of 1893 and chapter 131 of public laws of 1895, lias passed the lower branch of the General Assembly, and will doubtless pass the Senate, providing for Stokes «ouuty to refund out of the general funds of the county SSOOOO a year until said township has been reimbursed for all the county's part of the taxes heretofore received from the N. & W. railroad in said towhsbip, and alsossoo.oo out of the general tax fund to be paid to Meadows and Danbury town ships until Meadows and Danbury townships have been reimbursed for all of countj-'&'prtri of taxes re ceived from the former C. F. &Y. V., now the Southern Railway (J^r,-ifi Meadows and Sauratown town ships, and further providing that all the countyja n&rt of "taxes received from bjth roads shall be turned over to Meadows. Danburyjind.SfHTfaFown townships until the said townships are iully reimbursed for their roads. The funds to bo turned over to highway commissioners to be expend- JM* tuSlmblic roads of the respective townships. Dr. A. d. Jones and Messrs. R. R. Rogers and D. S. Watkins, of Walnut Cove, appeared before tho finance committee of the house in support of the bill, and Mr. N. O. Petreo, attorney for the Stokes County Commissioners, appeared in opposition to the bill. It is estimated that the effect of the bill, which is sure to become a law, will bo to take $1,500 per jcar out of the funds for csunty purposes until all back taxes received have been repaid, which is equal to about one-fourth of all the revenues for county purposes which the county has. After the back taxes have been paid it will take about SSOO per year for 48 years to pay tho debt. This is the contention of the commissioners, who allege that ihe bill is unjust to the other townships. On the other hind, Dr. Jones and those who are behind tho bill, say that they are entitled to bo reim bursed for the moneys they have paid out in taxes to induce the railroads to build, and tbat tho other townships of the county, who did not tax themselves for the building of the railroads, are not entitled to share in the refunding of the mouey. The Pinnacle School Matter Before the General Assembly W. A. Sullivan and S. W. Hall, of Pinnacle, and J. D. Humph reys, of Danbury, went to Raleigh on February 7th to appear before the joint committee on education of the Senate and House in re sponse to a bill pending before the legislature with reference to the schools of Pinnacle. Two years ago the legislature enacted a law laying off a graded school district there and an election was held to levy taxes. A majority voted in favor of taxes, but election was void for reason that trustees of Pinnacle graded school held elec tion instead of county commis sioners. Citizens of Pinnacle then petioned county commissioners to lay off special tax district, which upon being recommended by Board of Education was done, and tax voted and new school house built, and one-half of the money with which it was built was ap portioned from State school fund. A teacher, Miss Nora McCol lum, is now teaching in said house, and school is also being taught in old academy by Mr. S. W. Hall and assistants. The bill as in i troduced in the legislature would have the effect of defeating the payment of the teacher in the ? i 3 V X Don't neglect your cough. ,£ X « «5» Statistic* show that in New York City «9» alone over 200 people die every week from consumption. *Bj And most of these consumptives might |oj £s be living now if they had not neglected the {i warning cough.

A public school and turning the fund over to the teachers in the academy, It also undertook to vest title of public schoOl in trus tees of Pinnacle Graded School district without requiring them lo j pay balance duo on house. The joint committee after lengthy hearing, decided to report a substitute for pending bill, the substitute to require the teacher, Miss Nora McCollum, to be paid; to allow County Board of Ed | ucation iu making yearly ap portionments to Pinnacle Graded School to first retain the yearly installments for schcol house; to require teachers to be examined as other teachers, to adopt giaded school instedd cf local tax district, and to appoint the following as trustees: E. W. Culler, Julius Mickey, V. G. Watson, S. P. Jones and W. A. Sullivan. The matter as to whether or not certain citizens residing north west of Pinnacle should go to school there was left open for ad justment by County Board of Ed ucation and trustees of Pinnacle Graded School. Question to be submitted to voters as to levying tax and upon failure to levy tax, i act to be become inoperative. OF MR. A. C. PADGETT. Was An Ex-Confederate Soldier And Highly Respected Citizen.

ABOUT THE SCHOOLS | "Poverty" Glad They Are Improving, and That the Pay Is Better— Spring the Best Time to Have the Institute. King. Fob. 12—It's just about 1 the si'lio ils that wo would like little time and space, for the schools, one upon another, make a threat wall of defense by which our 'citizenship is protected. We ate glad to learn from re liable sources that we are about to i close one of the most successful of many school years in Stokes county. The teachers seem to: have been doing excellent work everywhere. We find that the salary, tie teacher, and the results get better ;in rapid succession. Now we are glad to see that the salary for nearly every school has steadily in- j creased for several years, and in a fow years at this rate it ought to! be an incentive to more teachers, especially men, to take up the profession. It is the best training in human nature oue can get, and as we have said leaching can be done on a paying basis in the near future. But the best results will be had by the entire cooperation of the teachers on all important matters We certainly ought to pick the time for the County Institute so as to get it when \\e can best spare the time. And now, as we have said before, we think that the early spriug is the time and we want the teachers to join us in asking the board that the Institute be held the first two weeks in April as the best time.

This will be my fourth round, and I have gone to several places in a township eaoh time, in moat of the townships. I have tried to give the people ample opportunity to pay their taxes, with aa little inconvenience to them aa I possibly could. They are earnestly requested to meet me at the above times and places, and pay their taxes promptly. This will be my last round, and : the taxes are needed to meet the current expenses of the County, the ! Schools, and to pay the taxes due the State. The State Treasurer is urging the Sheriffs iu the State to pay the Stat* taxee aa early as poa sible. The school teachers will soon want their money, and the cur rent expenses of the County must be met. The first installment of the Court House and Jail building bonds will be due April the 4th, 1907, and will have to be met. The tax payera can ane the necessity for payment, and it ia certainly to their interest to pay them without cost. It is not, by any means, my desire to put the people to nny cost, but as I am charged with the duty of collecting and settling the taxes, I must discharge my duty, and if the people do not pay, and are put to cost, they must not blame me.
