THE EDUCATIONAL CAMPAIGN.
Reports from Every Section of the State
Show that Interest is Unabated.

The following comments selected
from leading papers from all sections
of North Carolina may properly be
regarded as an excellent indication
of public sentiment upon the ques-
ton of public education:
"This educational interest is a
sign of the times as promising of fu-
ture good as any that has appeared
above the horizon. The people them
selves need to be reached and arous-
ed, to see the Importance of sending
their children to school as opportuni-
ty offers; to create an earnest desire
in the minds and hearts of the pa
rents to have their children prepare
themselves for the life struggle upon
which they must soon enter. These
gentlemen in this campaign are in a
high mission to the people, in the
States best interest. Let the people
hear them and hearing, heed. Let
the people concerned be stirred to do
their part."-Morning Post.
"The only redemption for the
State is to have longer schools and
better schools and higher salaries for
men and women of ability"-White-
vile columbus Co.., News.
"The educational revival in North
Carolina that promises to be a per
manent blessing to North Carolina
is the result of the wise and persis-
tent agitation of earnest men for
many years. Some people have called
it a new movement whereas it is as
old as the public school system of the
Commonwealth. It is new only in
that the progressive men of the
State, basing their campaign upon
the teaching of the fathers, have
thrown themselves earnestly into the
fight and have given it a new and
fresh impetus. They show that the
progress has been steady if slow, and
that during all the years the fore
most leaders have sought to secure
better educational facilities News
and Observer.

"The educational spirit is growing
in Johnston County. Our people are
beginning to realize that the only way
to have a school term long enough to
meet the needs of the times is by To-
cal taxation. There are four local
tax districts in Johnston County,

"The agitation of this important
matter is causing growing sentiment
in favor of education by taxation,
and it is only a matter of time when
the whole State will be swift in it's
favor."-Nashville Graphic.

eyes, education is business. The
greatest business in which the human
family can engage. It is safe to say
that if North Carolina had about
100000 a year to spend on her
schools (Which is about the compar-
ative amount in proportion to popu-
lation spent in Connecticut, Pennsyl-
vania and Ohio) instead of only
about $~1,15O,OOO as at present, the
proportion of wealth and manufac-
turing would undergo a radical
change in favor of this State within
the next twenty years."-AsheviIle

"Dare County distinguished her

say that the people are awakened to

TO MODIFY ROAD LAW.
Representative-eleCt Chassell of
plymouth County is prepar-
ing a Little Bill for Use
This Winter.
The following article appeared
Wednesdays Register and Leader:

The following article appeared in
Wednesdays Register and Leader:
"E. d. Chassell of LeMars, representa-
tive-elect from Plymouth county, is
planning to introduce a bill in the next
general assembly making important
notifications in the road law which
resulted in the retirement of several
legislators at the recent election. In
stead of making the township system
compulsory throughout the state he
proposes to make it optional by
counties.
Plymouth county, as are other coun-
ties in the.state, is up in arms against
the present road law. At the last cleo
ton, petitions were circulated at nearly
every polling place and freely signed,
asking it's appeal.
Mr.. Cassell, who spends the most of
his time on the road, keeps in close
touch with the feelings Of the farmer
through the county officials. He finds
that a number of counties are highly in
favor of the new system and would
fight it's repeal as strongly as others
advocate it. By introducing bill max
ing it optional by counties, he hopes to
strike happy medium.
4 find said Mr.. Cassell last evening,
that the system has been great sue
cess in the low counties while it has
lbeen unsatisfactory in the high or roll
4 ING counties. This is because in low
counties there are many long grades
which can be constructed by contract.
Contractors can build them better and
more cheaply than can farmers who
work only a day or so at time on them.
In high counties, the repairs to the road
consist largely Of repairing small wash
outs around culverts, etc. AS there is
only one superintendent in township
it is difficult and expensive for him to
drive several miles to haul a few loads
of dirt to make the necessary repairs.
The old road law made the township
plan optional by counties. 1t was in
!, vogue in number of townships and
was found to be great success where
ever it was tried. This is one reason
j suppose why the law was enacted.
lido not think the law has had fail
test this year. The season has been
I. unusually wet and the floods have caus-
ed great damage. People have blamed
the law for what the weather was re
sponsible. The bill which propose te
introduce will be merely an amendment
!, to the law in that it will make the Law
optional by counties. The details 0
the system will not be altered. There
