COWS OR
NO COWS?"
That is the Question Now
to be Solved.i
THE CITIZENS ARE DIVIDED.
Some say Repeal the Ordinance and
Let the Cows Roam"-0thers Say
may, Nayl"- Council to ACT.

Several months ago the Town
Council enacted into law an Ordin.
auce prohibiting the running at large
upon certain Of the public streets Of
COWS and other cattle, and provided
for pound" and the impounding
OF such cattle as might be found
wandering about within the pre-
scribed boundaries. A place was
selected and fenced in for the
"pound" and many are the cows
which have found themselves sud-
denly arrested and turned into the
enclosure, and many are the owners
who have bad TO pay the "pound
fees" before they could get their
COWS out and have their usual
amount of milk and butter. The
law, like all laws, has its advocates
and its denouncers, and the. citizens
" Madison are by no mems unani-
mcus in their opinion with regard
thereto. Now the matter is to be
carried to the law makers in an ef
fort TO have the ordinance entirely
repealed or so modified as to give
the COW little more liberty. A
petition has been prepared and is
now receiving the signatures of
many. The said petition is to be
presented TO the council at its next
regular meeting, and prays for re.
peal of the ordinance or, in the
event the council will not do that,
then leave the matter to a vote Of
the people.

From MOseley Hall.

Mr.. EDIroR:--
Will you kindly allow me space in
your valuable paper to make an appeal
to all that are willing TO give for the
cause of Christ?
Mrs. A. e. Sanders has been striving
for the past ten years to get a Baptist
church built here IN Moseley Hall. She
has failed thus far to get the necessary
funds to complete it, but thought TO
take what she had and build as far ss
the money would go, perhaps it could
be used until funds were raised to
complete IL The work on the church
was progressing rapidly, thanks TO
the kindhearted farmers who came
and gave several days work, but what
it took the builders several days to
put up was demolished almost or quite
IN the twinkhng Of an eye 10y the storm
few weeks past. Work is again re-
Sumed, and II the kind people will send
us a little aid we can soon see and enjoy
some Of the fruit of our dear SISTERS
christian labor. Just think, for ten
long years she has been STRIVING! How
many of us have been 80 faithful
Can't her faithfdlness be rewarded now
by your dear soldiers Of the Cross COM
ing to her aid? A little help from all
the dear people that feel disposed to
lend helping hand will perhaps COM
pete the church so it can be dedicated.
We have been using the Methodist
church for a number Of years, thanks
to the dear christian friends, and will
continue to do 30 until we get our
church to where it can be used.
Now, dear friends, while you are en-
joying the beautiful churches Of Madi-
son, can go and hear the blessed Word
Of God expounded every Sabbath, won't
you bestow little thought on us?
Just thi1k, we only have that pleasure
once a month and sometimes not that
often, and then it 10 by the kindness OF
other christians that we have a house
to worship in. Our little church will
only be a crumb compared with the
churches in Madison, but will be
source Of so much pleasure to US here
and especially TO the dear christian sis-
ter who has labored so long for the
cause Of Christ. Hoping this cause
will be ably responded to, ] am sincere
ly, a FRIEND.
p S.-Anyone feeling desire tu aid
in this cause can address

NEW SCHOOL HOUSE
LOANS,
Twenty-Five Counties Granted
$18,o25 for Sixty four
Districts.

The State Board Of Education granted
loans to twenty-five counties for building
and improving school houses. The total
amount of the loans was SIS, OPS. The to-
tai amount to be expended for buildings
in these counties is $40, 705. The total
made is "a. in q Of these districts there
are no houses at all; and in IS districts
that have houses, the valuation IS s25 or
less. In 10 districts the loans are made
for the purpose of repairing or making
additions to old buildings. and in 2 dis
tricts the leans are made for the purpose
of buying private academies. AS an indi-
cation of the Improvement in school
house building 81 districts have adopted
the architects plans sent out from the
office of the State Superintendent Of PUB
lie Instruction.
Nearly. all of the districts aided by these
loans are distinctively rural districts.
About $685. 600 of the Loan Fund has been
lent. Loans have been made to about half
the counties of the State, enabling them
TO provide more and better houses for their
children, affording in all Of them d healthy
stimulus to school house Improvement, To-
cal taxation and self help of every sort.
There is probably still enough of the fund
lett to aid every one OF the remaining
counties that need loans and that can com
ply with the rules and regulations for
these loans. There viii be part of the
fund available every year hereafter for
these purposes. The value of the school
property in these counties to which loans
have been made has been increased s145,
02O. AS may be easily seen from the
above facts, this fund is aiding greatly in
supplying the most pressing need Of the
public schools of North Carolina, more and
better school houses.
