Those whose names are on the rolls in their precincts may vote. The school bond issue is expected to be approved by an overwhelming majority. Little opposition has been expressed against this phase, and schools are in dire need of assistance. Governor Scott has taken the cam paign for roads into every section the state pud advocates for the road bonds have conducted a well-managed campaign that is expected to bring them victory. ~ There has been a great deal of op position to the road bonds but the opposition has.not been spear-headed with a well-knit organization. Most violent opposition, and the best or ganized, comes from, the petroleum interests who have employed a pub lic relations expert from New Jersey and has been sending out literature attacking every feature of the road bond proposal. These interests are opposed to the program, not because of their interest in the financial wel fare of Tar Heelia but because ap proval of the issue will hike the gna tax one cent a gallon. ££'3 SCHEDULE X-RAY UNITS Following is the schedule for the tuberculosis x-ray units: Greenville—6 Points—June 4-July 7.
