The Editor is in no wise, responsible for lews expressed by correspondents. . t Entered at -the Post Office at Roxboro, N. C. as second-class mail matter. Roxboro. N. C, May 1st 1907 TUESDAYS ELEBTI0N. Next Tuesday is the day that will decide whether we will go forward J or take a step backward. Every voter in Roxboro should consider this bond question seriously and earnestly, it means too much to the future of Roxboro to be lightly con sidered. There is not a citizen of the town, who has the welfare of Roxboro at heart, who if he will consider this matter from an un biased stand point, who can vote against these bonds. Of course there are citizens here who oppose them ; but we beleive that if they will consider the question five minutes, unb'ased, they will cast their votes for the new graded school build ing : Every one admits that if vwe con tinue the graded school work in Roxboro we have got to have a new' building, then why not vote the bonds and set it. When the town was not able to do this, Mr. J. A. Long came to our relief, and erected, out of his pocket, a build ing that has brought us to this point. IMow that building is not large1 enough to accomodate the children of the town, .and it is badly in need -or repairs, some sayinzit is not safe, rtmd Mr -'T rny Hhpc nnt VoeA that it Is ftfcftiry to expend any more money on, this building, Taking it from the time it was1 built to the present date, we venture the as sertion that he has not received 3 ;per cem on his investment, and the building is in a dilapidated condition and will be worth very Jifile to him in the future. Then we need the building, or we will not have the graded school; town does not need ' a good school, then we will admit that we do not jieed a new building or better school facilities. But we do not be lieve there is a man in p - " ... say mat ttertpFia bf -fnls town sntraia Te. wrowea to grow Wwm lfccaticn,Snd vwe.,QQtfio,t fjelieve there are-rmany yfiio wiiisay inai uic graueu senpyt Astern is not the cheapest and best )plan for conducting schools in towns the size of Roxboro.

The Dictionary, al Jt!ovr stanas has been thoroughly re edited in every detail, has been corrected in every part, and is admirably adapted to meet the larger and severer requirements of a generation which demands more of popular Philological knowledge than any generation that the world has ever contained.
