Scott Poole, of Raeford, became of Nation wide fame as author of a bill bearing his name, over which there was consider able carousement in the Legisla ture, and newspaper discussion that has not yet ended, is moved to send The Observer a letter which he makes brief explana tion as to why a bill df its kind had been introduced. This ob ject, reduced to its simple form, was to bring teachers on the State payroll under control of the State. Mr. Poole had in mind one particular matter—the rights of the tax-payers—and that is a point which was avoided iu all discussions in and outside the Legislature. Mr. Poole is right on one conclusion, and that is, that with a better understanding of the purpose that was defeat ed, the end is not yet. In all probability candidates for the next Legislature will be polled on the unquenched issue of the Bi ble or the monkey.—Charlotte Observer. A Birthday Dinoer.
