For a few brief weeks v.e folks from down this way enjoyed the nov elty of having a clear road straight Into Chariot!', with no hair-raising, spriug-lrtaking, temper destroying dwoias because of hard-surface roads being built at the other end. of the line. For months a trip to Charlotte was looked upon as almost an adven ture, instead of an ordinary outing as rormtrly, because of the tuanv un- kuown and unsuspected varieties of trouble forbidden territory between Matthews and Charlotte. The harrow ing tales brought back In regard to those two hills and the creek, which apparently lay in wait to see what carnage they could do thf traveling public, made one feel content to stay at home indefinitely rather than to attempt the trip especially If a drop of rain had fallen within forty-eight hours. But at last it was over; and the next thing was to see how quickly the trip could be made on the nice, hard, new road. (Really now, don't you think that is a rather messy way to commit suicide?) Then about the time things got to going in fine shape here those familiar gates are once more stretched across our path this time at th!s end of the road, and thos tiresome detours are to begin all over again. And this brings me to what we want to tell. A few days ago we went with a bjuch on a picnic to Lee Park. Havii g some eight or nine persons and a lot of dinner on a flve-paM'P-.-r car. stalled trustfully lonh in the Morning, knowing nothing of what was going on up the road until we caiv - suddenly face to face with the well-ltnown and polite request 10 detour.

SiImhiI Truck Demonstration, A splendid demonstration of the practicability of trucks for carrying the children into school was given last Friday, when Superintendent of Public Instruction, Mr. Ray Funder burk. with a driver, came over and gathered some forty of the children of the Walker's school district in a big school truck, bringing them from there over to Waxhaw and back to their homes. ' Mr. Funderburk met with a number of the citizens of the Walker's school district on that day. and discussetj with them that ques tion of consolidating the Waxhaw, Walkersvllle, and other . adjoining school districts. It is understood that it Is not considered advisable to con solidate the schools, unless at least three of the adjoining districts about the Waxhaw district will atree to the consolidation, as it will not pay to purchase the truck to bring In the children of only one more district. Th? County Board of Education is reluctant to pass a resolution to con solidate any district with another one, unless a majority of Its citizens fa voi such actions, and no such step will be taken, unless it becomes ap parent that sentiment for the con solidation is sufficiently strong in the districts to be affected by the change.

C. Weaver, the pastor. There are three reasons, he said. why one"s daughter should not dance They are: 1. For social reasons. There are no social reasous attached to the dance, for those who frequent them are not of the best citizenship; that few of those who do attend are en gaged In some good, worthwhile vo cation, and that most of them who who go to dances do so for unwhole some motives. 2. The atmosphere at the dances Is not good for either the mind or refreshing for the soul. 3. Drinking Is usually countenanc ed at nrist dances. Pointing out that business had adopted the slouan, "no drunks or I half-drunks,'' Dr. Weaver asked his his hearers why the dance halls fail ed to outlaw whiskey. The word "tango, to touch, and that sex appeal was too great for some daughters to resist "We can get some conception of what the dance of today means," he continued, "when we remember that ten years auo the very danres that our datuhtfts now indulge In were first introduced in the red-light t'is tricsts of our large cities." The six argument was clinched in the following words: "Take the sex i! away and you bnak up danc- One dollar on the hundred dollar worth of property was the tax rate fixed yesterday tor the year 1!"21 by the county commissioners. This it an increase of 4o cents on the hun dred dollars ovi r last year, but the aggregate amount of taxes will be but very little if more than last year on account of the 23 per cent cut in the value of real property and the decline in value of many articles of personal property. Of this amount the scliools will get 46 cents; ihe general fund. 10 cents; the poor fund, 5 cents; road and breiii --. 15 cents; and bonds, 24 cents. The tual property valuation of thfl county, both real and personal, th commissioners found, approximates $22,000,000. This represents a de cline of several million dollars over last year. The rate, it is believed, will be ad equate for all purposes except for schools and possibly roads. Sir P. P. W. P!yir, chairman of the board of education, has expressed himself as being dissatified with the award for schrr". purposes and indicated that his L-ard would seek an in crease. Mr. Funderburk, the county sup erintendent of education, declared that a 46 cent rate woulj halt school progress. "Forty-six cents on the hundred dollars," he said, "will just about pay the salaries of the teachers and administrative ex penses." Nearly $15,000 has been promised various districts to aid in the erection of school buildings. Mr. Funderburk talked like these appro priations would have to be revoked unless the rate is raised. The Wax haw school alone, he said, had been promised $5,00o. Mr. J. D. McRae, chairman of the county road commission, hadn't had the opportunity to figure out the rev enue his board would receive from a 15 cent rate, but intimated that more money would be needed for mainte nance purposes next year than ever before. The road and bridge fund he said, meant ! rate last year was 12 cents.
