BY MAJORITY OF FIVE OVER ALL.
School Tax Wins in Oxford After
Purging Registration Books.

A phone message from Editor Britt
this morning states that they carried
the school tax by ma jOrity Of . over
all in the election in Oxford Tuesday.
At first it appeared as if the measure
was lost but the purging OF the regis
tration books alters the situation.
This it seems had not been done as
closely as it might previous to cleo
ton. A number OF persons were dead,
others had moved away, and yet their
names remained on the regi stration
books. One man has been elected
Mavor Of another town but his name
stood on the registration books in
Oxford where he formerly lived to be
counted against any measure Of pub
lie taxation of this kind. All such
names were stricken from the books
and after this was done it gave the
side for taxation ma jority of 5 as
above stated.
Whether there will be 4 contest or
the matter allowed to stand as it is we
are not advised. The anti-taxation
people have employed Gen. B. S.
Rovster and it looks as if fight is on.
The election, it should be explained,
was not on the question of Graded
Schools. 1t was to supplement by
special taxation the regular school
fund so as to provide increased facili-
ties and greater efficiency in the pub
lie schools-longer terms, better
equipments and higher salaried teach
ers. Perhaps had the fight been made
for Graded Schools outright the OPP
position would have been less pro-
nOunced.

thing like permanent shelter can be
provided for the homeless thousands,
and Jacksonville for some time to
come Will be a city Of tents. The re-
lief funds raised by the citizens OF
jacksonville at meeting this after
noon amounts to $4,000. This was
augmented tonight by a telegram
from the Armour Company, Chicago,
instructing Mayor Bowden to draw
for 81, 600. Other subscriptions are
being received from many places.
The disaster has effectually obliter-
ated the dividing line between the
rich and poor and common catas-
trophe has made all akin. Beautiful
women, wealthy yesterday, pennies
today, sat on the curbing beside the
beggar, sharing alike the pitiless fate
that befell them both. Tonight the
sidewalks are thronged with homeless
people. The wharves are crowded
with sleepers and every available
craft in harbor has been made into
a temporary hotel. Religious ser
vices will be held in the open air to-
morrow. Not city church remains
standing.

4 Word of Thanks.

It is with a grateful heart that |
write these few lines to let those know
who contributed to our church how
highly | appreciate their gifts. Words
would fail il were to undertake to
describe my heartfelt thanks, but
glory to God for the church and
thanks to the good and liberal people.
All those who have aided, in any way,
towards building this church, have
my prayers for their temporal well
fare, and when their probation here
must end, may they look back upon
4 life spent in the service Of God and
be admitted into that house mot
made with hands, eternal in the
Heavens" Please accept my thanks
to one and all.
Now. those who have not vet re-
sponded to my call: You will please
remember the door of invitation
stands open to give and it will not
be shut until the church is completed.
Contributions, however small will
be thankfully received by me.
Yours truly.

TWO nUCH DESIRED WORKS.

The first volume of the History of
the North Carolina State Troops in
the Civil War will be issued in the
next few days. The volume is prac-
tically complete. 1t will be hand
somely illustrated, and will contain
some four hundred portraits of prom
lnent soldiers from this State This
is the most important contribution
made to the States history in recent
years, and is very complete. The
sketches of the different regiments
have been written by members of the
regiments that were familiar with
their history, and it will be an author
itative publication.-Ra Raleigh Times.
The GOLD LEAF halls the publica-
ton OF this history with genuine sat

furtune to possess the work but it
will congratulate those who do never

another work we much desire to have
but don't know how to get it, We
do not know that it is for sale at all
and if it were perhaps the cost would
be too great for us.
