and Of some Importance in the State as
a manufacturing center, had not yet voted
local tax upon its own property. In
addition to the ordinary work of the
Conference every effort was made to
strengthen public sentiment in Hickory.
About one year previous to the sConfer-
ence the town had voted upon the ques-
ton of levying a local tax and the move
ment was defeated. Since the Hickory
Conference it has voted again. and IA
vorably upon the question, and Hickory
will soon have a good school system,
though it is necessary for the people to
provide new buildings as we'll as main
tain the school. l would not claim that
our conference at Hickory was the sole
cause of the favorable vote, but unques-
tionably it was of great assistance to
the friends of the cause

II. POPULAR CAMPAIGN FOR LOCAL
TAXATION.
In the month Of June the State Super
intendent, the Governor, and your Dis
trict Director planned an active cam
paign for local taxation, employing as
our Secretary and Manager one of the
best educational workers in the State.
BY correspondence and personal confer
ences with representative people from
different sections of the State he and the
State superintendent advertised appoint
metns for various speakers who had been
selected as suitable men to impress the
doctrines of local taxation and universal
education Two hundred or more speech

es were made. Most conspicuous among
the campaigners from among the political
and other leaders of the State were Gov
ernor Aycock Ex-senator and Ex-Gov-
ernor Inomas ]. Jarvis, Congressman
John H. Small, State Auditor b. f. Dixon,
r. B. White, Esq, member of the State
Legislature; J. w. Bailey, Editor of the
Biblical Recorder: Ex-State Senator A.
NJ. Scales, EX-Attorney General r. ID.
Douglas, the last two Chairmen, respee-
lively, OF the Democratic and Republican
Executive Committees of Guilford county.
Each OF these speakers was usually ac-
companied by an active teacher familiar
with every phase of the educational ques-
ton.
The educators who took an active part
in the campaign were headed by State
Superintendent Joyner, Ex-State Superin-
tendent Mebane, Ex-State Superintendent
Scarborough Presidents of The State col
leges, the Presidents or Professors of
nea rly all OF the leading UNCONVENTIONAL
colleges, superintendent of the city
public schools, County Superintendent,
and others. These speeches were made
chiefly in the months of June, July and
August.
borne fruit, as several districts have
voted the special tax and many places
are preparing to vote it, The most sig
nificant fact that 1 can state in regard 10
the North Carolina campaign is that the
audiences attending the educational
meetings in June, July land August were
larger than the audiences that attended
the political speakings in the months of
vember election. Several OF the speakers
were in both campaigns, and the Gov
ornor, who is probably the most effective
and popular political campaigner in the
State, says that his audiences at his If
teen speeches in the educational cam
paign were larger than the audiences he
addressed at any fifteen political gather
ings. To Il person who knows North
Carolina this means a revolution in pub
lie thinking so far as education is con-
cerned. for the political speakers had as
large audiences as they have usually had
except in year when there was Presi-
Dental election.
The educational campaign was parti-
cpated in by political leaders. educa-
tors. editors, clergymen. lawyers physi-
clans, business men and farmers.
To some extent this campaign would
have been carried on even if there had
been no Southern Education Board, but
would not know how to estimate the
value of the assistance the Board has
rendered by paying the travelling eX-
lenses of most of the campaigners. and
the expenses for literature and
'ampaign organization 1t should be said
lere that the travelling expenses of the
Governor and State superintendent were
oaid by themselves.

.MACADAM ORDERED
ON SEVENTH STREET
After Much Pressure Assembly
Concurs With Board of
Aldermen.

The assembly last night passed the
final order for the matchmaking of
West Seventh street, from Tuscarora
street to Fort Smelling, but it was done
under pressure.
A delegation from the Commercial
club, consisting of Thomas Cochran
and c. P. Slime, pointed out that any
other course was rank suicide, and in
answer to their pleadings the Repub-
lican members who practically decided
on obstruction tactics, relented and
gave the improvement their vote.
With the congressional delegation
now in the Twin Cities investigating
the feasibility of charging Fort Smell
ing, the Comemrcial club last night in
structed a delegation to insist, if nee
essary. that it be sent away with the
knowledge that st. Paul at least was
doing everything to aid the project.
Assemblymen Wheeler and Schur-
meier protested against the passage of
the order Immediately on it's presenta-
ton. They wanted it sent to the COM
mittee on streets. Here it was that the
delegation interfered, and, after show
ing that Minneapolis was even now at
work arranging for an "air line street.
to the fort, succeeded in inducing them
to withdraw their opposition.
The proposition as it now stands, is
to have the city aid the Improvement
to the extent of issuing 100000 in
bonds which would reduce the cost to
the property owners about so centssa
front foot. Corporation Attorney Mi
chael doubts the validity of the law
authorizing the issue, and in conse-
quence some of the members are re-
luctant to push the matter until some
other way of securing the money has
been devised

Threat as Outcome of Strike.

CHICAGO, July 16.-When efforts of
the striking teamsters and their SYM
pathizers today failed to prevent the
delivery of freight from the Kellogg
Switchboard and Supply company to
the warehouses, President Albert
Young, of the Transfers National
union, declared he would darken the
city unless the strike was settled. He
announced that he would visit the Chi
cago Edison company tomorrow morn
ing and demand that 1t shut off the
power at the Kellogg plant. Should he
he receive a refusal he declared that
he would shut off all the Edison COM
panys supplies and force the company
to close down. In making this threat
he insisted that he had the support of
the tugmen who deliver coal to the
company, and that all these would be
called out if the company attempted to
get a supply of fuel by the river.
More rioting occurred today, both
policemen and mob members being in
jured. Tonight a mob gathered around

WE MUST EXPLAIN
AS TO THOSE ISLANDS
London Paper Says American Action
Causes Delicate Situation.

LONDON, July 17.-According to the
Daily Chronicle the action of America in
annexing the islands off Borneo raises an
exceedingly delicate situation, and the
British foreign, office has asked Washing
ton for an explanation.
The Islands concerned, says the paper
are a group of seven which originally be-
longed to the sultan of Sulu, from whom
they passed by charter in 1881 to the
control of the British North Borneo COM
pany, whose officers confirm that they
are undoubtedly British territory They
are insignificant in SIZE but of the high
est strategic Importance, dominating San
aRan harbor and Labukay. Their names
are Taganae, Baguan, Bakkungsan, Lib
man, Sibaung. Boeaan and Lankayan.
The American side of the question as
given by the United States embassy is
that the islands are undoubtedly Ameri-
can by right of conquest, having belong
ed to the Philippines and the sultan Of
Sulu having confirmed and acknowledged
American supremacy over them. The
course taken was to demonstrate
Americas right and establish more
clearly defined line between the Ameri-
can possessions in the Philippines and
Sulu sea, and the territories of the Brit
iSh Borneo company.
The islands had never been occupied by
any European nation, and it is unknown
whether Spain ever recognized the trad
ing treaty which existed between the
Borneo company and the Inhabitants Of
the islands.
