In Forty Counties the People Have to Vote on it The late legislature passed an Im portant act relative to the public s-hoola, requiring the question of ! taxation for public education to - voted on at the next election for embers of the legislature and bi-en- uial thereafter by each township, city aud town not alreadr levying a apecial tax for schools. Thia special levy to be voted on ia 30 cents on the $100 of property and 60 cents on each poll. I be original bill, which applied to every county, waa amended so that 60 eountiea were excepted, this leaving the act in force in the eountiea of Alexander, Beaufort, Bladen, Burke, Cabarrus, Caldwell, Carteret, Chero kee, Clay, Dare, Davidson, Davie, Duplin, Canton, Graham, Guilford, Harnett, Haywood, Henderson, Jack son, Macon, Madison, Mitchell, Mont gomery, Orange, Pamlico, Pender, Polk, Rutherford, Stanly, Stokes, uorry, Swain, Yakln and Yancey. Wherever this special tax will be voted it will greatly increase the efficiency of the public schools and it is proba ble that the people will vote the tax in a number of the counties named. There was already a law allowing the county commissi mers, upon petition of one-third of the , free holders, to nrdnr ai el -clion to levy a special tax of 10 nts u property and SO cents ou polls, i ut the new law requires the election, without petitiou. and for twine the amount of special tax. This is a very important matter. To the Voters of the Third Ward. On account of the deception and treachery practiced before and during the recent primary by others asso ciated on the ticket with me, I declined 1 1 run on said ticket and feel justij tied in announcing myself as an inde pendent candidate for aldermen in this ward. My recor J shows for itself and if reelected, I promise to support all vigorous, progressive measures in the interest of the city of which I am a citizen and a tax payer. I ask the support of all my friends. E. V. Dbstos. We are dispensing all kinds of sher bets and cold drinks. Our chocolate ia "just lovely." Hicks & Rogbbs, Prescription Druggists.

A FULL STATEMENT IS NOW MADE AS TO IT. Oakes is in a Keeley Institute in Virginia. Rov. P. i Mrlntire, pastor of the Presbyterian church at Fayetteville, writea the Wilmington Messenger as follows : "That Mr. Oakes was under the in fluence of intoxicating liquor on the train is true. I first met him in 1803, and since then have been quite Inti mate with him and have bad oppor tunities of learning a great deal of his past life. Some of these facts will be necessary here, that his friends, and he has made many in the state, may be able to judge, of the extent and cause of hia recent lapse from sobriety. He is a native of Ireland, where he and his father were man agers of estates near Dublin. Raised in an atmosphere where temperance was unknown, from infancy he learned to know and love intoxicating drinks. The education,, added to an inherited thirst, made him an easy prey to drink. In hie youth and early man hood he was a wild, dissipated -man For months at the time he was never sober. Position after position of trust and advantage to himself waa thrown away in the mad craze for rum the influence of which at last drove him from friends and home, a restless wanderer over the world. Coining to New York, he strayed into an evange listic meeting. There he was arrested in his wild oareer, and reclaimed and rave himself to the work of reclaim ing others. "He returned on his second visit to this state early last Ootober, and since his return had been, with very little rast, laboring as a Bible teacher. During this time he has held meet ings in eleven towns, conducting two services a day for eleven or twelve days, making about two hundred and fifty in all. This incessant strain made havoc with his nervous system so much so that on hia visit to Fay etteville, which he made his head quarters, his friends warned him of the danger of overwork. His last meeting, of nearly three weeks' dura tion, was conducted in the Baptist tabernacle at Raleigh. On his return from this work we all noticed a great change in his appearance. He was haggard and hollow-eyed, moody, de jected and restless. On the night of April 8, he left for. Washington, but on reaching Goldsboro he went to the hotel, and unable longer to resist the tempter, began to drink. The sequel is known. His old enemy slew him again. He, after; sixteen years of total abstinence, was onee more a vic tim of whiskey. Men who have been slaves of this habit will understand his situation. In our community, where he Is best known In the state, Mr. Oakes today stands well. Professors of religion and those outside the church, alike appreciate the fact that his fall was unintentional, unpremedi tated, and the result of a strained, over wrought nervous condition. Dr. J. M. Faison says that Mr. Oakes is now undergoing treatment at a Keeley institute in Virginia." TELEPHONE T7. Quite a Change of School Oilcials. Mr. Scarborough, state superinten dent of pubhe instruction, says that the county boards of education and oounty superintendents all go out of office the first Monday in June. Their powers eease that day, and on it they can do nothing save turn over their offices to the oouuty commissioners. The latter will the same day appoint the new school committees under the new law.

Cheek, one of the board of directors elected by the legislature, arrived here. This made eight of these present. The ninth one, R. L. Her bert, declined to come. He had open ly atated that he did not believe the board waa legally elected. It was said that Cheek would not vote for W. H. Kitchen, but be did. The for mal election of the latter as general agent was held. Thi board voted tu create the office of supervisor and he was also elected to this, so his full title is supervisor and general agent. The board also elected an executive com mittee, composed of Dockery, Mc Caskey, Taylor, Habn and Hoover. Dockery was made chairman of thu committee, At 11:30 o'clock a com mittee composed of Dockery, McCas key and Taylor, accompanied by WH. Day, one of the counsel, went to the penitentwry.
