portNf . Prof. N. V. Walker,
State inspector of puolio hiuh
schools, shows a steady growth
in the rural public high school
system of North Carolina "during
tho year 101 1. The expenditure
of money for new buildings and
for the remodeling and unkeeii
of old build'ngi is one of the sig
nificant earmarks of the contin
ued educational advancement of
the State. One hundred and
ninety-pight schools iu the State
aporaise their buildings (not in
cluding dormitories and appara
tus) at the valuation or $1, 085,
834, 00; 20 of these . reported
dormitories owned by the school
coRtihg $123,900. 00.
"Twenty-five Vural hTgh schools
in the Stste made provision for
the erection of new buildings
during 1914, representing a
financial ovtlay of $265,000,00.
Twelve schools expended money
for tho remodeling, renovating,
enlarging or otherwise improv
ing their buildings. The sum thus
disbursed amounted to $81,000,
00. The total investment for
buildings anc equipmegt lor the
past eighteen months amounted
to S34fi,000,00. .
The following are the twenty
five 'schools "that have; provided

pointment argued.that all recorders everywhere were 'appoint"-!
for the first term and thereafter elected . The advocates of election
contended that two years was too long a term for an appcir.tre
a.id that the first Incumbent should.be elected by. -'popular vole.
Those contending for appointment finally offered a compromise
wherein all those who aspire;' to the-office of recorder should he
named in the bill and that said bill should head, a petition to be
signed by the voters and thai each voter select fromthe number
Kiindidatts his preference and so enter, but tlie measure failed to
arry and the election advocates won nut.
The details of the meeting may be gathered irom t':e report of
Secretary R. A. Yoder which fodows.

section by section. Every sect
ion went through smoothly Un
til See 4 came up which related
to the appointment of the first

hot discussion which resulted in
the section, being amended bo as
to provide for the election of
the first recorder at. the" regular
town elect Bi in May. 'the rest
of the act was passed with a few
minor amendments. The corn

lew more amendments into
the act. This committee is
Mayor A. E. Cline, Mr. N. F.
McMillan, and. Mr. H. T. Fult

Opening Sale
That "Openinu Sale" we ad
vertised for Nick Abdeliiour last
week was a howlinjr success from
the moment the door opened. At
eight o'clock Satuiday morning
there was quite a bunch of pros
pective shoppers gathered
around the door awating admis
sion. Business started off with a
whoop and all day did the people
throng the store and kept five
clerks as busy as so many bees
in a tar gourd. In other words
Nick Abdelnour knows that' tt
col urns of the local paper is thu
surest;t5jiannel through which to
sell goods. One mail from the
mill section said to the Herald
man "I've seen lots of bargains
come from that new store today,
why the people just took the
Herald down by their own fire-
