A GREAT WATERLOO.
The School Tax Voted Down by Immense
Mai0rities

Majorities.
The election held in North Car
DINA last Tuesday upon the ques-
ton OF an increased tax for schools |
did not call out more than half of |
the voters in the State. Of those
voting not more than one-third
voted in favor of the tax. In not
a single county in the State did
the tax get majority Of the votes
cast, so far as reported, and the
number of townships favoring it
will not reach more than twenty
five.
The reason Of the ignominious
failure OF the proposition is told
in plain and true language in an
editorial from the Raleigh News
and Observer, copied Oh the fourth
page of this issue. We are not
surprised at the result as a whole,
though we are little surprised
that SO few townships voted for it.
Those who enacted the law could,
it seems to us, have rallied more
voters to itssupport in their strong
holds than they did. It seems that
even those who put them in power
were not willing to risk the laws
that they made.
| In Robson county the measure
was defeated by a vote of nearly
three to one. The returns from
! one precinct in Smiths township
had not been received by Register
of Deeds Thompson late Monday
afternoon, when our figures were
obtained, and the accurate vote il
not given. Leaving out this pre-
, clnct the total vote cast was 80!
''for schools and 2617 "agains
schools
Not township in the count,
adopted the tax. In one town
ship, Blue Springs, a majority O
the vote cast was ''for schools,
but it failed to get majority 0

by law, and is defeated.

one precinct of Smiths townshi
unreported, was as follows:
