Surgeon General Sternbers is much erati

port from Manila OF lower percentage

American troops were sent to the Philip

fact that the officers and men understand
the importance of taking good care OF

pines were to all intents and purposes reg

FOR GRADED SCHOOLS.

Noting the fact of Gov. Aycock's
acceptance to speak in Henderson and
Oxford Saturday in the interest of
Graded Schools. the Macs and Observer
editorially says this:
Gov. Aycock has accepted an invi-
tation to speak in Henderson next
Saturday at o'clock and at Oxford
8 o'clock that night. Both of these
towns will vote on the first Monday
in May on a proposition TO levy >
special Graded School tax. OF course
they will vote for the tax No town
in the State has voted against it,
These two towns have always been
foremost in educational matters.
Henderson is now maintaining 4
Graded School by private subscription
and its establishment is the most
progressive step Henderson has taken
in this decade. Oxford has not vet
taken this step necessary to give a
complete system, but will inaugurate
it as it's first forward movement of
the new century. Oxford will be the
first town to vote under the new law
1t is fitting that the first school
established under this new law-(the
best school law ever enacted in the
State)-should be established in Ok
ford, long known as 1.-The Athens of
North Carolina"
Governor Aycock recently spoke in
Goldsboro for school bonds, he goes
to Mt. Airy to speak on the End Of
May. He is in truth 1.-The States
