H)WTHE CONSOLIDATION OF
SCHOOL DISTRICTS WORKS.
Illustration From Durham County New School
Houses in Randolph County, Result OF
Last Summers Campaign.

The State Superintendent of Public In
struction received a letter from Umbra
Mangum township, Durham county, yes
terday morning, stating that the public
school in that district opened with 10
pupils Monday morning.
This district affords an excellent Illus
tration of the benefits of consolidation. A
few months ago three small districts,
house, one of which was a log house,
were consolidated into one lare district.
An excellent three-room school house
costing about $500 has been built in a
beautiful grove near the centre of this
large district. The house is still within
about 2la miles of the farthest child in
the district. Two excellent teachers
have been secured. one a graduate of the
University and the other a student of the
Normal and Industrial College
Notwithstanding there was considerable
opposition to the consolidation at first,
since the erection of the new school
house most Of this opposition has disap-
peared as is evident from the enrolment
or 10 cnlldfen out OF ScnOOl census OF
100.
The county superintendent reported
that the attendance on the three separate
schools under the old system was small
and unsatisfactory, sometimes so small
as to require the closing of the school
before the money was taught out.
Superintendent Joyner visited this
school on Saturday, and has promised to
return for a big rally on North Carolina
Day, Wednesday, November 26th.
Another letter received by Superintend-
cnt Joyner yesterday morning was from
the county superintendent of Randolph,
stating that six excellent new school
houses are in course of erection in that
county, and enclosing picture of new
three-room school house just completed
at Central Falls, Franklinville township.
1t is a very neat, roomy and handsome
house.
Another house to cost 81, 500 is in course
of erection in Franklinville township,
Randolph county, where the people voted
local tax for public schools last sum-
mer.
These are some of the results of the
active campaign for education in RAN
dolph county last summer. Superintend-
ent Way is one of the most progressive
county superintendent in the State.

BOWEN ASKS FOB A WORSHIP.
Request Based on Critical Condition of Affairs
in Venezuela.
(By Associated Press

Washington, d. c.. Oct. 15.-U. S. Min
lister Bowen, at Caracas. has cabled the
State Department, asking that one or,
perhaps, two more warships be sent to
reinforce the gunboat Marietta, at La
Guaira, in view of the present critical
situation which has arisen at the Vene-
zuelan capital. He. fears that an occu-
patton of the capital by the revolution
airy force will be attended with great
danger to unprotected foreigners.
1t is probable that either the Panther,
now at Colon, or the Cincinnati, in Hay
tian waters, will be ordered from her
present station and sent to the Vene-
Zuelan capital.

Heavy Losses on Both Sides
in the Battles.
CASTRO LEADS CHARGES
VaIenc' Believed to b. Doomed. The Woun-
ded IL on the BaitItf Id without Medical
Care. The Scene one of
Hcrro-.
(By the Associated Press.)

Willemstad. Island of Curacao, Oct. 10.
News reached here that the battle near
La Victoria, Venezuela, between the
forces of President Castro and the Vene-
zuelan revolutionists. which began Mon
day morning, has so far been without
definite result. Only a portion of the
reyoIutfonists was engaged The govern
ment has lost 247 men and the rebels BIO.
The government cannot obtain reinforce
ments from Caracas, as the German rail-
road from there to Valencia, is in the
hands of the enemy. The fighting was
resumed yesterday.
General Matos, leader of the revolution,
and General Mendoza were not present.
The only rebel generals engaged were
Guevara, Torres, Crespo and Antonio
Fernandez, who had with them about
3,100 men representing the advance guard
of the revolutionists.
President Castro twice led charge in
person and showed great courage and
GOODNESS. His lieutenant, General Alcan-
tara, who was at one time at the West
Point Military Academy, was mortally
wounded.
The arrival at the scene of battle, at 5
o'clock, Monday afternoon, of Vice-Presi-
dent Gomez and 800 men, with large
amount of ammunition. saved the situa-
tion for the government. AT that time
the odds were largely against President
Castro, but the arrival of achievements
improved his position. Monday night the
reyolutionists still retained their posi-
tions.
The fight started again Tuesday, and
tired to- La Victoria. At 1 o'clock the
fighting ceased on both sides.
News of the engagement having reach
ed Generals Matos and Mendoza they
FASTENED to the scene and arrived at a
point near La Victoria yesterday with
the rest of the revolutionary army. which
now numbers about 5000 men. The re-
Inducements under Matos and Mendoza
intended to take part in the renewal of
hostilities today.
President Castro appears to be sur
rounded by his enemies. The town of Ell
Consejo, which lies back of La Victoria,
is occupied by the revolutionists.
Valencia IS believed to be doomed.
The town was attacked by General Riera
on Monday and Tuesday
Those who were wounded in the fight
ing are still without medical assistance
or care They lie on the battlefield as
they fell and the scene there is one of
great horror.

Ing to maintain an initial produc-
ton Is usually so much expended
with poor results, In fact In most
cases the initial production of the

creased by additional wells: The
first four wells would get most of
the oil If left by themselves and at
much less expense.
There are rumors of more heavy

The pipe lines of the Pure Oil
Company still allow the Standard
to fix their prices for both purchase

Air compressors may for short

The Standard Trust declare
