count of political troubles. Such step
on the part of the President, however,
would not be surprising as he is nearly
eighty years Of age, and is Of a quiet
retiring disposition. The determined and
position to the treaty, which has mani
tested itself in many parts of Colombia,
it is surmised, probably has influenced the
president in the action he is reported tn

General Raphael Reyes, the second vice
president who will assume the presidency
in the event Of the retirement of Mario

for the office. The belief here is that he

State superintendent of Public Instruc-
tion j. Y. Joyner was back in his office
yesterday after his trip to the Eastern
part OF the State. He says his train was
two and half hours late reaching Wash
ington Monday night of last week, and it
was a quarter past ten o'clock when he
began speaking to the crowd there, whose
interest had been kept up by local speak
ers.
"They voted on two propositions" said
Superintendent Joyner, ito issue $4,000
in bonds for graded school buildings. and
to increase the graded school tax from
20 to 80 cents. Both were carried by
majorities of three quarters, significant
endorsement of the work of the schools,
after trying it for five years.

for a conference with the graded school
trustees in regard to their building ald
the organization of their schools. They
nave an excellent board of trustees WI
are very enthusiastic about schools. and
have little doubt of their success in the
hands of such men.
''In Robson county / stopped at Row
land and Ashpole, at both OF which
places local tax, elections are pending. In

at both places, and much interest was
manifested in the success of the elections.
Robson county is taking a great deal
of interest in public education. There is
already one local tax district, and sew
eral elections are pending In other dis
tricts. 1t is one the finest farming
sections have ever seen in North Car

at Rowland and Ashpole for the success
of local tax for public schools as in any

of these districts is estimated at from
