Contracts Let For Construction
New Farmville Colored School
BIDS TOTAL $181,000, EXCEEDING
ORIGINAL ESTIMATES, BUT
CONGESTED CONDITIONS
DEMAND ATTENTION
Construction will be started at an
early date on an eighteen-room
building at Farmville colored school
which should be completed, before an
other school term is very old and will
relieve a congested condition that has
been worrying local authorities and
is so acute that this year the school
has one less teacher than entitled to
because sufficient class-room space is
not available.
Voters of the district nearly two
years ago approved a bond issue of
$150,000 to build a new colored school
and make repairs to the white build
ing.
The new structure will require all
the bond issue and then some. The
first bids totaled $192,000 and were
rejected. Modifications have been
made which clipped about $30,000 off
the original prices and these con
tracts, casl for an outlay of
$161,134, exclusive of architect fees.
West Construction Company of
Statesville, builders of the new Pacto
lus school, have the general contract.
Dick Electric company of Wilson was
awarded the electrical contract. The
Mashbum Plumbing dnd Heating
company of Farmville was awarded
the contract for its work.

David Witherspoon of Raleigh will
play the role of Don Jose, the leading
male character in the opera. Mr.
Witherspoon was guest soloist at the
Baptist church Sunday and those who
heard him were thrilled at his fine
voice. 1
The scene of the opera is Sevilla
and environs in 1820. In the first
act, Morales, dragoons officer, is
lounging, with the soldiers of the
guard, in front of the guardhouse
watching the people come and go. He
notices a maiden, -Micaela, whose sly
glances betray her interest in the sol
diers, and upon questioning her finds
that she wishes to see Don Jose, regi
ment corporal.
io evaue too pressing attention ane
leaves the square. The relief guard,
with Don Jose and his captain, Zuni
ga, appears, and the other guard
matches off as, at the stroke of noon,
cigarette girls pour from the nearby
tobacco factory. Last of all comes
Carmen,-the beautiful, bold, heartless
gypsy girl, who, scoffing at the gal
lants v.ho crowd around to seek her
favor, sees Don Jose, who is' quite
oblivious of bar presence. He takes
her fancy; after momentary hesita
tion she approaches him, throws him
a nosegay and turns and flees, with
a passionate glance. Don Jose, amaz
ed and, against his will, flattered by
such a token of partiality, is pres
ently surprised by his village sweet
heart, Micaela, who brings a message
from his mother, exhortfyg him to be
true to his first love.
He reads the letter and wants to
renounce the fitful passion inspired
by Carmen, but suddenly a distur
bance breaks in upon this mood. Car
men wounded on* of her companions
in a quarrel and Don Jose is com
missioned. by Zuniga to anrest and
take her to JaiL But her passionate
wiles overbear his good resolutions;
he lets her escape and is punished by
imprisonment.
In the second act Carmen Is pass
ing the time, waiting for Don Jose,
in the company of Zuniga and other
officers. Escamillo, a redoubtable
toreador, joins them and falls in love
with Carman, who repulses his ad
vances. Two gypsies, smuggler lead
ers, inform Carmen and her girl com
panions that their aid is needed to
pass some merchandise. Carmen, a
waiting Don Jose, who has just been
set at liberty, refuses to go. Re
comes; the others retire, leaving him
alone with Carmen who employs all
her art to entertain and fascinate
him. Suddenly, he hears distant
bugles sounding the retreat, realizes
that he will be treated as'a deserter
if absent without leave, and despite
Carmen’s astonishment and growing
disdain and fury, is in the act of
departing, when Zuniga forces the
door. He orders Don Jose to be gome,
but the latter haughtily refuses to
yield to his rival; swords are drawji,
but Carmen summons the gypsies
from their hiding -places, Zuniga is
disarmed and Don Jose is forced as
a mutineer against his superior offi
cer to join the smugglers.
Carmen, tired of her half-hearted'
lover, who takes no interest in the
smuggling, continually tauntingly ad
vises him to go hack to his mother,
although the cards, in which she be
lieves, foretell she is doomed to a
speedy death! . Micaela, .unseen J>y
Don Jose, who is left to guard some
of the goods while the other gypsies
go into the city, approaches. At the
same instant she catches sight of
him, he fires his- carbine, and she
swoons and sinks behind the rocks.
The shot was aimed at Escamillo, who
clambers pnharmed over the rocks, in
troduces himself £o Don Jose, whose
pleasure at theiT meeting is quickly
turned to bitter hatred when Esca
millo nonchalantly announces Ids er
rand to meet his sweetheartf Carmen.
A terrible duel ensues with Epca
millo’s life being saved by the unex
pected intervention of Carmen, whose
love is wholly transferred to him.
Micaela, awakened from her swooft,
implores Don Jose to hasten to his
dying mother and, unable to resist
this appeal, he goesjmt warns Car
men they will meet again elsewhere.
In the last act Carmen meets her
death at Don Jose’s hands,
