RALEIGH, N. c., Set 22.-Captain
bucket. chief clerk in the superintendent
OF public Instructions office. this morning
called attention to the fact that only
six school districts in each county can
receive aid from the State for free rural
libraries. A different impression seems
to prevail in some counties. Three new
libraries were to-day established in Scot
land and three in Surry counties. This
makes 362 libraries receiving State aid
and others have been established by pri-
vate subscriptions so that there are now
about 400 rural libraries while there are
over 1000 school districts in the State.

Proctor, OF Lumberton lis worse He is

his Will MIR. Proctor is one OF the most
beloved men in the State.
