SCHOOLS AND ROADS The Board of County Commission ers met Monday for the purpose of making the County tax rate for the coming year. If ever a set of men had our sympathies, and need the sympathy of every one, it is this Board. County funds are in bad shape, and road funds are not ade quate to keep up the roads needed, with almost every one complaining about high taxes. Some proposition to tackle. Many were the sugges tions, some ' saying run the schools only three months, and some even .advocated putting out the schools entirely for this year; some said cut the-road fund to an amount sufficient to pay only interest on bonds, and ?o forth. But we are proud of . the Board, for it did hone of these thinga, but levied A rate which will take care of these matters. It is true that taxes have been hard to meet, especially with the valuation which has been placed an farm lands, but when we insist on having as good schools as any coun ? ty, and _rcads that are a credit to every one, and a county home that all are proud of, then we need never -export tn .rn l.wr tiues. YVw can jiot have these things without pay tag for them, and we believe our .-^P^OfAe art too progressive to want ' anythW but the best. The rate levied was $1.25 on the -hundred dollars, divided as fallows: County general fund 15 cents. Coun ty Home fund 5 cents, School debt fond 5 cents, Road fund 45 cents, School salary 45 cents, School main tainance fund 10 cents. Special high school districts: 'Bethel Hill 30 cents, Allensville 20 cents, Flat IJjver 20 cents, Olive Hill 30 cents, Buahy Fork 30 cents, Hurdle Mills ' 30 centfl and Leasburg 25 cents. While farm lands were reduced fifteen per cent the increase, fifteen cents or the hundred dollar-", will innng in a little more Avenue than before, and the road fond will bene fit ? fraction by this, while the rate tor the schools was figured on the haais of the cut and will produce the Mil amount as before. The schools will all van tix months, and it is hoped there will be a way found whereby tbe bi*h ?ebocM will all have eight months tem, though this is not .-.bsoiutely sure. To do this it will be necessary tor the 8ta tc to come to our rescue, ' and a committee composed of the Cotznty Superintendent, the Chair ?n of the School Board and the attorney are in Raleigh today tny Ing to eee what Superintendent Allen ' -can do for them. ' Altogether we thinV the Board of County Commisiior.c- s and the Board of Education, who met joint'y yes terday, should- have the cooperation'] of every cne, all tryi'.ig to live 'just as economically in County, sahool i and road affnirs as- possible, for) these gentlemen have worried no little ovtr the mailer and have done the very beet thay could. If you could s*s the court docket you would see conclusive evidence ; that TfiejifT'. Bi*t>oks haa not been asleep on his job. For next weeVs hasiness tho coast will h?v? six cues for mjTnafacftirinif liquor and ! ?two pewonH for transporting. with ten answering to the chasge of di's- ' tilling or abetting. ? O ' . . We Will, not bet, for that is gnmb- I . JiPK and prohibited by tAe law, but < well just lay yon a ginger cake that when it all finished the Bud get Commission, who were appoin ted to look into the matter of sala ries wHl not have saved enough on salaries to pay their expense. Of course, it la all right and no harm done, but some folks naturally do not think it looks just right far a State officer to . leave his job and go back, home to practicing law while drawing -a neat salary from UM StttC When the News and Observer gets through publishing the history of the penitentiary the public will know more about the affairs of that in sitution, and Mr. George Ross Pou, than ever before. It is interesting reading to all, save possibly Mi\ George Ross Pou. ? ' O 't If you see it in The Courier it is ?o.
