"The tobacco crop brought time Leondas was nine and Roberta the farmers good money and mads four Many happy little children business good for the merchant were present showing by their bright banks, and all kinds of business," he (Continued on Second Page) said.-News & Observer. Th4 -i most difficut criticism the Treasury has had to meet in floating previous popular loans has been the declinfe in market value already out standing and the. probability that the rew bonds would likewise decline. But the terms and conditions of the j Victory notes are such as, in the judgement of many bankers, to in sure teir staying at least at par and probably selling at a premium at an early "date. Moreover, the fact that no more Liberty Bonds are to be is sued will, it is believed, enhance the market value of the issues now out standing. Therefore, in giving the country, a seetrpr'whose terms conditldns, and che'amount offered are more attrae" tiv'e than was generally expected, Sec retary Glass has supplied the first element in making the Victory Loan Campaign a success and in keeping the notes at the highest possible mar ket value. Upon the Liberty Loan Commit tees and the public depends the sec ond element now imperatively needed: to secure the widest possible distribu tion of the notes, especially among cur growing number of savers and permanent investors, who in turn will hold these notes conservatively and steadily, so that they will not come upon the market in depressing vol ume. "It is almost a reproach to any American, or rather to all Ameri cans," says the New York Times, "to enlarge upon the duty of patriotis among men and women who are mov ed by a feeling of sympathy .when ever they see their defenders in uni form, perhaps with empty sleeves or on crutches, to take Victory Bonds to the limit of prudence. The ques tion with most i's where the limit of prudence lies, "There are particular reasons why it is more the duty of the customers than of the bonds to take the bonds, and more the duty of the banks to put the bonds fh the hands of. their cus tomers thain in. their own vaults. "The limit of prudence for the or dinary; man in the street or woman in the home in taking Victory bonds is a little beyond the limit where they are afraid they are saving too much money . ..... Dollars put into Victory bonds -serve a double duty. First, they discharge the country's debt to the defenders of democracy, which we each feel is a personal debt, and, sec ond, they make the conditions of earn ing living easier for everybody. Dol lars put into Victory bonds do this by 'making money easy by enabling the Treasury to pay its debts, thus put ting money into the channels of bus iness." Therefore, lets all pull together, subscribe to the utmost, and put the Fifth District well "Over the Top" early in the Campaign. Yours for the VICTORY LOAN, EDWIN W. ROBERSON, Chairman.

Public I urged to attend. . - "WHAT MORE NEED BE SAID?' The HEADLIGHT is nearly a month behind with an announce ment from Dr. E. C. Brooks, State Supt. Public Instruction, that appointees of the Legislature for vacancies on the Board of Edu cation caused by increase in membership could not qualify before first Monday in July.' The Press of the State carried this infor mation a month ago, and it was known by the County Board of Ed ucation of Warren at its April meeting. In fact, a failure of the Legislature to fill the vacancy of first Monday in April, 1919, made it the duty of the remaining members to fill said vacancy. It should be borne in mind that the people of this County have not delegated to its Representatives, Messrs. Hawkins and Davis the right to appoint members of the Board . of Educa tion; but on the contrary selected the members at the Primary, and the only duty of Messrs. Hawkins and Davis under that Act was to confirm the choice of the people. They had no appointing power under that Act. If a vacancy occured between the Primary and the time for the Legislature to elect, then the Executive Com mittee (representing the people at home) may fill said vacancy, and if the Executive Committee did not fill it, then the "remain ing members of the Board of Education," and if they failed to fill it (the vacancy) then the Governor, BUT in no instance was the' right delegated to Messrs. Hawkins and Davis. With this law to govern'them and this understanding by the folks at home this is what they brought forth : 1st. Ignored the expressed will of the people that Messrs. Fleming and Gardner (not Shearin, as one of the County papers has it) should be selected, and should .qualify and be seated as members of the Board on first Monday'in April, 1919- 2nd Ignored the fact that W. H. Fleming has not legally resign ed. Mr. Fleming received his nomination from the people, and the County Board of Election i's charged with the duty of provid ing machinery for nomination and he could not legally resign to Mr. Hawkins nor Mr. Davis. If so, the County Democratic Executive Committee could have no legal information of the res ignation and could not Act. Mr. Fleming has not legally resigned ; BUT as Messrs. Hawkins and Davis ignored him he has no legal standing as the choice of the people. 3rd' Ignored Chapter 74, Acts of 1917 in-so-far as their duty infimmgth . toy nominees; - BUT 'amended it to take in all of the Counties of the State and as to time the appointees named in 1920 (next Primary) should quali fy. In other words we will 'side-step" your directions THIS time, but give you a chance to name more candidates in 1920 at the Primary. IT IS ADMITTED It is admitted that the Legislature had the right to ignore the LAW of 1917 under which the people nominated and directed. It is admitted that the Legislature can remove members of the Boards of Education and appoint others; that the office of mem ber of the Board of Education of a County is an appointive office and that the incumbent can be removed at therwjll of Legislature. All this is admitted. But the Legislature of 1919, Messrs. Haw kins and Davis present 'and assenting, failed to appoint any mem ber or members for Warren county. That they intended to do this may be inferred by their action, but that they intended it can not be 'sustained by THEIR law. Here it is: "Section 1 : As provided by law the following named persons are hereby ap pointed members of the County boards of education in and for their respec tive counties TO FILL VACANCIES EXISTING OR CAUSED BY THE IN CREASE IN NUMBER" OF THE MEMBERSHIP, as provided by law, for a term of six years, except as otherwise provided herein, from the first Monday in July, 1919." (The words in capital letters are new words inserted by the Legislature and thereby makqes this Section differ in sense and meaning from that of any previous appointing Act, and does what the Legislature in tended to do when that section was written, viz: to increase the membership of the boards.) Now read Section three and it proves conclusively that section one quoted above means what it says that the appointees under that section were for the purpose of increasing the membership of the boards, and not to fill vacancies ; BECAUSE section three di rects that there be NO VACANCY. Read it . Section 3: "IN ALL COUNTIES where by provision of EXISTING law the term, for which the member ormembers of the board of education of said counties have been elected or appointed, EXPIRES BEFORE the first Mon day in July, 1921, the member or members so elected or appointed SHALL HOLD OVER UNTIL the first Monday in July, 1921." Section : "That all laws in conflict with the provisions of this Act be and the same are here by repealed." And the Act was ratified on the 11th day of March, 1919. If section three means what it says Mr. Davis, Mr. Kimball and Mr. Skinner hold over 'to first Monday of July, 1921. Therefore there could be no vacancy in membership of three, and section one meant what it said :- that the appointees were for the purpose of increasing the membership to five as was done in many counties, but WARREN county was not so included. Mr. W. T. Davis' terms expires first Monday in July, 1919, and he is a member by virtue of existing law; but he is directed to hold over to July, 1921. Mr. John Skinner's term expires in April, 1921, and he was direct ed to hold over to July, 1921. Mr. Kimball, if extended from April, 1919, to July 1919, is also directed to hold over until July, 1921. If Mr. Kimball was not moved from April, 1919, to July, 1919, then there was a known vacancy, and the board of educa tion was directed to fill said vacancy by the Legislature of 1919 in these words: - "In case'of a vacancy in the county board of education by death, resignationor otherwise, such vacancy SHALL BE FILLED by the remaining members of such county board until the meeting of (Continued on Third Page)
