morrow Night; Albert
Coats Also Corning.
TO ADDRESS ALUMNI
Daniel L. Grant, secretary of the
General Alumni Association of
the University of North Carolina,
has written the alumni of the coun
ty a letter in Which he urges
every University man to be pres
ent at the courthouse here Wed
nesday night at 7:30 to hear
President H. W. Chase. Mr. Grant
states in his letter that Albert
Coates, of the law faculty of the
University, is also coming, and
every effort is being made to have
Chief Justice W. P. Stacy here too.
Judge Stacy is president of the
Alumni Association.
The purpose of the meeting is
simply to provide an opportunity
for the president of the State Un
iversity to meet the alumni of this
county, and vice versa. Johnston
county has always been well rep
resentwf at this institution, has
, sent men there who became lead
i'.\ ers of student life, has served the
ffi University well in every partic
” ular. It is therefore fitting that
the head of this institution should
come to this county, and it is fit
ting that University men from all
over the county should gather here
to hear him speak and give him a
warm welcome. This is in close
keeping with the alumni associa
tion plan of keeping the alumni
in touch with the University.
If Chief Justice Stacy can come,
then the combination of Chase,
Coates and Stacy will be a trio
well worthy of any institution and
well, worth anybody’s hearing
Albert Coates has always been a
keen orator^ has always been given
a ready ear wherever he goes.
Just this past Sunday he delivered
a memorial address in Greensboro
which has already gained wide
R. publicity. He does Johnston coun
cil ty proud.

Mr. Robbie T. Massengill, who
lived in Ingrams township, died at
the Smithfield Memorial hospital
! Saturday following an operation
I for appendicitis. He was taken ill
j some time ago and was operated
on Thanksgiving day, but his con
dition was so serious that the op
eration was of no avail.
Mr. Massengill was born Aug
ust 11, 1895, and was a little past
thirty years old. He was a son
I of the late J. A. Massengill ef
Ingrams township. During* the
World war he served in the Unit

of respect to their departed friend
and neighbor. The floral offering
was profuse and very beautiful,
silent testimony to the esteem in
which the deceased was held.
The bereaved ones have the sym
pathy of a host of friends in this
hour of bereavement.
Death of Beady I’. Wiggs
Selma, Nov. 30.—On Friday,
November 27. about 3:15 o’clock,
the Death Angel visited the horn:*
of Mr. Alex Wiggs, Jr., and took j
from him his loving wife, Beady
P. Wiggs. She was born November
10, 1882 and died November 27.
1925, making her stay on earth
43 years and seventeen day . She
was twice married, first to Henry
W. Stuckey and to this union were
born three 'children. Later she
married Mr. Alex Wiggs, Jr. and
to this union was born one child.
The deceased was converted about
thirty years ago and joined the
missionary Baptist church and her
seat was never vacant when she
was able to go. Surely she has
reaped the reward of a righteous
woman and will be missed by
everyone that knew her. Oh, how
sad home is without dear mother.
She was so good to us all and
seemed to love us all so much.
How hard it was to give her up,
but she was too good to live in
this old sinful world any longer
and God saw she had toiled and
suffered long enough and called
her home. We all knew she was
good and she is out of this sin
ful world and is peacefully resting.
Our loss is her eternal gain.
She was taken to Parrish Me
morial cemetery on iNovemDer ta
and Rev. Jim Worley preached
her funeral about four o’clock. She
was laid to rest amid a large con
course of sorrowing relatives and
friends. The floral offerings were
beautiful, showing the love and
esteem in which she was hied.
Those left to mourn her loss gre
a husband and two children, Ar
chie L. Stuckey and Andrew
Wiggs. She also leaves five broth
ers: G. H. Parrish, Z. A. Parrish,
J. E. Parrish, M. P. Parrish and
G. W. Parrish, and three sisters:
Mrs. John Campbell, Mrs. J. V.
Oliver and Mrs. S. P. Phillips. The
best thoughts we have about her
arc her parting words. They were:
“I am going home to rest.”
A precious one from us is gone,
A voice we loved is till;
A place is vacant in our home
That never can be filled.
We wish to thank each and
every., one who assisted in any
way during her sickness and
Maintenance Tax In
Pleasant Grove ana
Bentonvilie Will Mean
High School Buildings.
REFUND BOND TAX
The County Board of Education
and the County Board of Com
missioners held a joint session here
yesterday with a full membership
present! The consolidated school
district in Pleasant Grove and El
evation which voted bonds this
summer, will not be required to
pay the special bond tax this year,
since the bonds have not yet been
sold, and the policy in regard to
this action was clearly outlined
by the two boards. Other items of
business included the decision to
buy an additional school truck, the
authorization of the Board of Ed
ucation to build school buildings
for the negroes in Princeton and
Wilson’s Mills districts, and the
fixing of the Christmas holidays
for the county schools from Wed
nesday, December 23 to Thursday
December 31.
Mr. Jas. D. Parker, County At
torney for the Board of Commis
sioners and Mr. H. B. Marow, Sec
retary of the Board of Education,
have approved the following an
nouncement:
At a joint meeting of the Board
of County Commissioners and
Board of Education the county
wide policy of education in John
ston county was further discussed
and planned as follows:
On September 11th/these boards
assumed as a county obligation all
of the school bidding bonds out
standing in all the school districts
in the county school system. This
was done because the obligation
rested on both boards to provide
high school instruction to all the
children in the county and the
condition on which the bonds of
the several high school districts
of the county were assumed was
that these high school districts in
return for the county’s assuming
their bends should admit free tui
tion for the first six months of j
their term such student as the j
Board of Education should direct |
bo attend their schools whqther
said students were within these I
districts or from other districts of
the county. This action established
the policy that the whole county is
responsible for all of the school
buildings in the several districts
belonging to the county system.
Prior to the adoption of this pol
icy of September 11th, the voters
of Pleasant Grove Township ap
proved an issue of bonds in the
amount of $40,000.00 for the erec
tion of a building sufficient to
provide adequate high school in
struction in that township. The
former policy of the county has
been that the district should raise
a part of the cost of their build
ing by a bond issue. In the light
of the new policy it was the judg
ment of both boards that it was
not wise to sell bonds of Pleasant
Grove Township, as had been an
ticipated, when the election was
called, when these bonds would-be
assumed by the county as a whole
just as soon as this district by a
special tax should be in position
to maintain a high school that
could do accredited work, because
bonds issued in tne name ox any
district would necessarily have to
bear a higher rate of interest than
those issued in the name of the
county, or a higher rate than mon
ey borrowed by the county. Con
templating the sale of the Pleas
ant Grove bonds as soon as the
money should be needed to begin
the building the nesessary tax rate
for carrying the bonds was levied
for the year 1925 in the Pleasant
Grove District. The sale of the
bonds has been delayed because it
was not deemed necessary to sell
them until money was needed to
pay construction cost of the build
ing.
In thd light of the policy adopt
ed by the county September 11th
of relieving the districts entirely
of the cost of their buildings

A GOOD ACCIDENT POLICY
No driver of a vehicle ar.d more
especially no driver <>£ an automo
bile, should ever cross a railroad or
interurban track without first
looking in both directions to de
termine .whether a train is ap
proaching-.
Whore there are two or more
tracks, never start across after a
train has passed without waiting
to see whether another train is ap
proaching on anotb. r track. Let
the first train get by at least 500
feet. If necessary to shift gears,
do so not less than 50 feet be- j
for# reaching the track, lest the
auto stalls on the track.
At crossings protected by flag
mar, gates, bells or wig-wag, new'-'
atSrr.W to cross' while '.he flag-1
man is on the crossing, or gates
lowered, or bells or wig-wags arc j
in action, for this moans that the |
train is closely approaeing.
These are a few suggestions to
drivers which occasion no incon
venience and which it observed will
prevent accidents at grade cross
ings for a grade crossing is only
dangerous wiv-n mad o !>;# care
less driving. In fact, the danger is
in the driving, not in the cross
ing.—Benson Review.
wherever that district could serve
the county by providing free tui
tion for high sehcol students of
the county, as stated above, it is
not economical to issue the bonds
in the name of the Pleasant Grove
or any other district. Therefore, j
the County Conjtaissiomers with
the consent of the Beard of Edu
cation have this day ordered the
taxes for 1925 assessed in the-i
Pleasant Grove District for bond
purposes refunded and at the same
time ordered that notice be given
to the citizens of Pleasant Grove
and Bentonville Townships that
the county will erect' a modern and
adequate building for each of these
townships, which will complete the
county-wide building program,.
without any cost to these districts
as soon as these districts vote a
sufficient maintenance tax to guar
antee to the county the operation
of a high school. It is the judg
ment of both boards that as soon
as the people understand what the
new policy means that they will ap
prove this course. Pleasant Grove
and Bentonville Tbwnships are now
paying their part of the cost of
buildings in the other districts ol
the county which have high schools
and are not enjoying the privilege
of a high school themselves.
An efort will be made to give
this notice as wide publicity as
possible in Pleasant Grove and
Bentonville townships for in order
to erect a school building and have
it ready for occupancy by the open
ing of the next school year the
contract for the same must be let
in January or early part of Feb
ruary. It will, therefore, be nec
essary for an election to be held
it once in each of these districts, if
they wish to secure a building by
the opening of the next term. In
terested citizens should therefore,
notify the Board of Education of
their intentions and desires at once
in regard to this matter. The
boards will have a special meet
ing if necessary for the elections
must be called early in this month
if it is to be in time to have the
building in time for the fall of
1926.
Willing for Road
Engineers To Say
Meadow and Ber.tonviile
Townships Present Arg
ument For Two Routes.
Good road advocates are now
vying with schools in making their
wants and needs known tip the
Board of County Commissioners.
Delegations here yesterday from
Bentonville and Meadow townships'
presented two routes for what it
is hoped in time will be a state
highway maintained by the State
Highway Commission. The Mead
ow township folk were asking
that the road be routed along the
dine between the two townships,
while Bentonville citizens were
favoring the road by Bentonville.
Mr. Walter V. Blackman, repre
senting Meadow, presented a pe
tition with 260 signers to the
Board of Commissioners, and call
ed upon a number of citizens to
speak in favor of that route.
Among the speakers, was Mr. W.
A. Bizzelle from Sampson county,
who pointed out that the road
between the townships would re
duce the distance from Clinton to
Raleigh by from five to seven and
a half miles. He suggested that
the county commissioners empower
the county attorney to take the
matter up with Mr. Page of the
State Highway Commission, with
the idea of securing a state engi
neer to route the road. Speaking
for Sampson county, he stated that
Sampson would not be interested
in helping to build a road by any
other route.
Mr. John J. Rose, in speaking
for this route advanced the idea
that the folk in that section would
come to Smithfield more if they
had a road to come on. As it is
now, they come to the county seat
as little as possible, and hate even
to come to pay their fcixes. He
spoke' of that section as a neg
lected part of Johnston county and
thought they deserved a road
Mr. John W. Wood called atten
tion to the fact that persons liv
ing in a part of Meadow and Ben
tonyille townships were cut off
fmm the railroad, it being neces
sary either to cross Ingrams, or
Meadow or Wayne county to get
to a railroad.
In conclusion Mr. W. V. Black
man summed up the main facts
in favor of the shorter route- He
said it is the logical route because
it is the most direct, most econom
ical, meets the approval of Samp
son county, and a large part of the
citizenship of that section of John,
ston. However, he is sure Meadow
township will be satisfied with the
decision of an engineer.
The Board of Commissioners
then asked to hear from advocates
of the Bentonville road, and Mr. S
W. Lassiter presented a plausible
argument. In the first place the
Bentonville road is practically
built though it is badly in need of
repair work. Then, too, Benton
viile township has arranged for
convict labor on the roads, by a
special tax, and would like the
township to get full benefit of the
taxation. Besides these two reas
ons, the Bentonville road splits the
old Bentonville battlefield in two,
making it possible for passers-by
and tourists to see one of the his
toric spots of North Carolina, The
breastworks can still be plainly
seen from the road. In the last
place, Mr. Lassiter stated that
the Bentonville road would still
serve Sampson county and would
also serve a portion of Wayne. Mr.
Lassiter closed his remarks .with
! the statement that Bentonville
township would lie satisfied with
the decision of a state engineer,
!but> asked for a month to present
la petition if it should be neces
sary.
Mr. J. D. Parker, county attor
ney, explained after Mr. Lassiter
had taken his seat, that the tax
to which he referred would be
used exclusively for Bentonville
township to keep up the old road,
in the event the road should bo
routed the other way. He, too,
favored leaving the location of the
road to the Highway Commission,
since it was the idea to get this
road ultimately in the State sys
tem.
Others spoke for the Bentonville
route, but it was finally agreed to
leave the matter in the hands of
a state engineer. A rising' vote
