Board that these scholarships were
only intended to cover the cost of
tuition, this being $40 a year, and
that hereafter all free scholarship
students must pay the room rent
charge, this being but $40 a year, or
one dollar a month.
Heretofore there have been one
hundred and twenty free scholar
ships given by the Legislature, 100
by the Board and Is others, making
a total of 255. The last Legislature
made provision by which only 100
free scholarships would be given,
these to be at the disposal of the
Board of Trustees. From these 100
the charge of ten dollars a year will
bring $1,000 a year to the College
funds.
The expenses of free scholarship
pupils will be hereafter eight dollars
a month for board, ten dollars a year
for room rent and certain fees
amounting to five dollars a year.. In
addition to this the pay students
have only a charge of twenty dollars
a year for tuition.-Exchange.

The Stan1y County Bond Case.

Washington Cor. Post: As in the
case of the Wilkes County bonds,
the Supreme Court of the United
States to-day reversed the decision
of the Supreme Court of North Car
DINA in the Stanly County bond
case, holding that the issue of bonds
by the county was valid and that the
just obligation could not be repu-
dated.
The Stanly bonds were subscribed
to build the Yadkin Railroad. The
State Court held that the bonds were
invalid, because the ayes and noes
on the enabling act had not been en-
tered on the legislative journal,
as the law provides, and that the act
applied only to railroads begun be-
fore the subscriptions were made by
the counties. Briefly, Judge Nc
Kenna announced that this first
contention was passed over by the
Supreme Court as of less impor-
lance than the declaration in the
bonds themselves, and the second it
rejected utterly. AS the constitu-
tional power of the county to issue
the bonds was unquestioned and the
bonds themselves contained a posi-
tive assurance to a bona fde pur-
chaser, Judge McKenna said the
Court was constrained to hold that
they were a valid obligation on the
county and could not be repudiated.
