John C. Clifford, chairman of the
school timid of trustees has issued
th« following statement concerning
the proposed school bond IsSU*:
“I find that there Is mmr misun
derstanding both as to the amount
and the purpose of the proposed bond
issue to be submitted tu the voters
of Dunn Graded School District at a
special election railed to be held the
12th day of July, 1921.
“The question »obm:tted at that
•lection ft upon t bo issuing of nnt
more than $200,000 -c -lei bonds for
thp numoit of eportiner Anti couin
ping school buildings fo.- said district.
It is the pbipote of the Board oT
Trustees to. leave unissued of this just
as much a> is possible and it is hoped
that it will not be nrearsary to issue
all of the amount tv br authorised
bjr this election.
Needs of District
“It must be apparent to all that
our present school buildings have be
come entirety inadequate for the
needs of the district and
that the echno' rannot ex
pand or do efBcient work in (he future
without more and hotter equipment
in the way of buildings. The present
building was erreted in 1900, has
had four roams added since that date,
and has had practically every one
•f thn original rooms subdivided in
order to make it possible to bouse the
growing grades, and three are cer
tain departments which ought by all
means to be introduced Into our
school system which we are compelled
to leave out entirety for the leek of
room sml equipment.
1 might emphasise the need of Do
mestic science department and e de
ment of genctr.l .cimre with labora
tory eqalpmont. H will" be Impossible
If onr school population has made its
normal growth this yeer for us to
teach all of the departments taught
heretofore during the approaching
session in ouv present buildings. Un
til a nrw building is erected ws will
be compelled If our school popula
tion shall show its nom’tial increase to
teach socnv of thv gn.de* in th* after
noon which it unfair to the Children
of both the moiniivg and afternoon
sections.
Colored Building Inadequate
"I think no one who should drive
along East Broad street will say that
the colored school building is ade
quate to house a school population
of Ave hundred rbildson.
"The Board of Trucstees contem
plates If the election is carried favor
ably to begin immediately the erec
tion of a goad school building foi
the white children to be located on
the East side of the railroad. IVi
building is t* have twelve nr fourteer
class rooms and to be «o planned that
it will admit indefinite expansion to
meet the future growth of school pop
ulatlon without marring the arehltec
tural symmetry of the building; to
begin the erection immediately of at
adequate'building for the color**

“It '» not the purpose of the boarc
to appropriate more than fifty pel
cent of the eon of tha erection of th<
colored arhool building, linco this wil
be a county training school, and wil
throw open to high echool student
from anywhere in the county and Itu
dietrict served locally will embraci
more territory than the white dietrict
The board, therefore, deems it jus
that no more than fifty per cent •'
the cost of this building should hi
obtained from funds derived fron
tha graded school district alone, lb
residue to come from the county a
large, the additional territory form
ing the patronage of this school, am
from a number of pbQanthropi
hoards which have brnn organised to
the purpose of aiding this class o
colored schools.

“During the next one or tiro yen

to issue so much of the ryijdur e

A Pradictiaa
Washington, June 21.—Former
senator Butler made the following
statement tonight tn the Grvonoboro
Gaily Newt correspondent in connec
tion with published report* in the
state that he would be a candidate
for the senate:
"There ■■ no bacit whatever for
such a story at thia time. It ia a hoax.
1 hare never told anybody 1 intended
to run for the Knots four years
benco, nor authorized any such pre
diction. I would not say four yrar*
in advance whether 1 intended to be
a candidate, or didn’t intend to be
one. It Is too far away to make any
statement either way. Jast lay there
It no authority or foundation what
ever fur such n ftory and should I
decide to run or not to run H would
be announced in a proper and not a
speculative way."
Politiciani who know the gnmr will
hardly blame Mr. Bntlcr for refnaing
either to put himaclf in a race or out
of It to far in advance. A gieat dial
may happen in two or three years
should Senator Butler say now that
he would be a candidate in the futuiu
hit candidacy might pall before vot
ing came. Should he eliminate him
tclf now he might And himself in thci
i predicament of the lata Theodore
Roosevelt regarding a third term and I
the cup of coffee alibi.
I i ne plain feet seems to bt that Mr.;
Bulier may bs thinking of running,
(or not running, but it'* puie “dope"
I to predict either way at thi* early
I data.

This is the substance of the deris- 1

Whitmcr In the case of Caasarello VS.
. United States recently tried in the
District Court of the United Slates,
Scranon. Penn.
Lawrence Siegie, while in service1
in the United States Army applied
110.000 insurance designating as be
neficiary “stepmother Patsy Gillette.”
The insured died October 2a, 1918
A question as to the identity of the
beneficiary arose, he having been
known as Patsy Gdletl, Patrick Gil
lette, Patrick Chilant and other vari
ations of the original Italian name.
Bofnie it had been established that
| the designated beneficiary was a full
brother of the insured soldier, the
: benefiriary died. He left a will nam
ing Savino Casxarello as executor of
I his estate, empowered to collect the
I War Risk Insurance. installments
! which had accrued, as well as those
which should become due and to tran
smit these future Installments to the
beneficiary's wife and daughter.
To effect thie the executor brought
action against the United States,
i As b> the installments which had
accrued prior to the beneficiary's
death and remaining unpaid at that
I lime, thero was no dispute. They pass
ed according to the beneficiary's will

thereby upheld an opinion of the
General Counsel of tha Bureau of
War Risk Insurance, that a benefi
ciary under th* War Risk Act if cn
' titled to insurance Installments only
so long as he livts and that thereafter
the insu-mnee installment* must be
distributed to those persons surviving

How growers ef bright leaf tobacco
are making fortunes for others while,
unorganised, they themselves strag
gle with poverty, is brought out by
iDr. J. T. Joyner. President of the
H. C. Tobacco Crower* Association,
in commenting on published reports
showing the earnings of menofac
turers and the high levels at which
Stocks of the large companies are be
lug sold.
Summarising statements from "to-,
bacce" and the "uU Street Journal."I
IDr. Joyner says them facts show:
I I. That the tobacco amaufactar
Ing companies have beet, tha "arost1
stable earners in the but ten years."
ere mill making millions sot of to
bacco, declaring enormous annual di
asaww^dK.'sKsan;
par, coeitmaing ts creep upward,"
.and "it Is said the end is not yet.”
| S. That "lew priced tobacco has
averaged inveatorim dawn ad the
[some tins companies have gone
through eighteen months of good ba
dness without any reduction of pri
ce* for Finished product.”
| t. That ‘'cigarette manufacturer*
have born accumulating cash rapidly
and with decline in leaf, period of
| large working capital requirement*
has passed.
4. That leaf it principal item in
production costa; representing ap
proximately 70 par cent (seventy per
cent) of total, and decrease in cost
of leaf ha* resulted la corresponding
increase In profit*.
In striking and tragic eoatrast
with the amusing prosperity and pro
fit of these largest buyer* and manu
facturer* of bright tobacco* aa re
vealed in this aa then tic report, is tha j
condition of the growers of this
bright tobacco who produced it when1
cost* of production were at the peak
uf high.pries*, told it in three or
four mohths on glutted markets ua
dar fi none ltd distress and at con
stantly declining prices, scarcely ov
I era ring half tha cost of production,

This bright tobacco, said by tho
trover at half th* coat of production
land ono-thlrd tho price of the pre
vious year, constitute* seventy par
cant sf the total production coat of
.tbs manufacturod tobacco that tho
manufacturers aald without any re
duction of prices of tho finished pro
duct. Out of every dollar paid the
consumer for tho manufactured pro
duct tho grower received the paltry
pittance of eight or ten ceata
"If these facta” concludes Dr. Joy
ner; do not convince the growers of
■bright tobacco In the Carolines and
Virginia ef the aceesolty eed wisdom
of organising for marketing their pro
11 acts more intelligently, for protect
ing their prices and securing a mere
equitable share of tho value of what
they produce with the sweat of their
brows and the toll of their beads, nei
ther would they be convinced though
one rose from the dead.”
