THE EXPECTED

For the Atlantic and North Carolina
Railroad.

they gave their strength and energy
of their young manhood to the defence
of North Carolina in the hour of peril,
so now a grateful country owes to
them every honor, distinction and sup
port that may be in it's power to be-
stow. This is a work of charity, bat
the payment of an honest debt incur
red by the State when she called upon
her heroic sons to make good upon
the field of battle the decree of South
ern independence which she had made
and now let the evening of their lives
be crowned with the fadeleSs diadem
of a grateful country love and honor.
Z. That we favor as liberal an ap-
preparation by our General Assembly
to the cause of education as the re-
sources of the State will justify, as it
is our opinion that every cent eXpend-
ed by the State in this noble cause will
bear a rich return to her in the bless
ings of an educated Anglo-Saxon cit
izenShip in whose hands the destiny
of the State will be safe when those
now in charge of her interests will
have gone to their reward beyond the
stars
8. That we favor the adoption, by
our National Convention at st. Louis
of a platform upon which every true
Democrat can stand; leaving out of it
every dead issue which heretofore has
brought diScOrd to our ranks, as we
believe that the wisdom of the people
should be headed in our counsels,
rather than the theories of specula-
tions of any one man or faction of
men.
8. That we send greetings to the
Democrats throughout the State and
congratulate them upon the tranquil
ty and prosperity that prevails with
in the borders of our State, under the
rule of the Democratic party. We
remember, with horror, the time when
Republican and fusion parties domi-
mated the affairs of our State-When
old men stood guard with a loaded
gun around their homes and the ones
they loved-When extravaganza
blighted every institution of the State;
when indeed North Carolina was the
object of pity and sympathy of good
men everywhere. Now we see our be-
loved State reclothed in garments Of
virtue patriotism and beauty; the ne
gro relegated to his lawful sphere and
the Anglo-SaXon sons of State en-
throned in power forever Let us
trust in God, stand together and all
will be WE'LL.
The following resolution endorsing
Senator Goodwin and Representive
Harrington, introduced by Hon. Dan
Hugh Mclean, also was passed:
THAT we endorse the legislative
course of our representatives in the
last General Assembly and that we
tender to Senator Goodwin and Repre-
sentative Harrington our thanks for
their loyalty and fidelity to the best
interest of their constituents"

was open Saturday morning until the
closing hour Saturday night nearly
1000 polls in this county were paid.
Saturday was the last day in which
those who wished to vote at the fall
elections could pay their poll tax, and
the politicians of both parties were
energetically at work all day insist
ing that voters pay this tax. Although
complete returns from the rural dis
tricts will not be available before the
middle of the week. it is not believed
the unpaid polls will reach more than
500. The Republicans were especially
active Saturday, and Chairman c. Il.
Moore of the Republican Executive
Committee, remained in front of the
court house most of the day in "the
interest of Republican voters" The
unpaid polls are about equally divided
between the two parties
At a special meeting of the Board
of County Commissioners Saturday the
proposition of the bondholders of the
100000 worth of Buncombe county
bonds to compromise the suit now
pending to test the validity of the
bonds and to effect a settlement, was
accepted with a few minor exceptions
and it is expected that the litigation
will now come to an end and the coun-
ty arrange ways and means for the
payment of the accrued interest on
the bonds.
Revenue Officers Ben Barnes and
Deputy Sheriff Jarvis went to Big Ivy
Saturday night and arrested Will Jar
rett, Billy Dillingham; and Albert Dill
lingham on a charge of blockading.
The three men were brought to this
city yesterday morning and given a
hearing before the United States Clerk
of the Court. Bonds were fixed for
each, which were promptly given.

JOHN f. RAY AT DUNN.
Speaks at High SchoOl-Prof. Ezzeil's
Work-John c.. Angler Prize.

Especial to News and Observer.)
Dunn, N. c., May 2.-To large
audience in the opera hall, Hon. j. E,
Ray, superintendent of the Deaf
Dumb and Blind Asylum at Raleigh,
delivered the regular annual address
before the closing exercises of the
Dunn High School. Mr.. Ray was in
troduced to the audi ance by w. A.
Stewart. The speaker made u power
full appeal and plea for education in
general and for a graded school in
Dunn. His address was thoughtful
and instructive throughout. 1t was a
veritable revelation in regard to TAX
alton for the support of a graded
school. He successfully and effectual-
Iy demonstrated that the deep-rooted
antipathy for taxation in this respect
is unfounded in fact and merely a
bugbear and phantasm. He eloquent
ly declared that education is the only
lever capable of raising mankind;
that intelligence must be the savior of
the world; that while North Carolina
is far behind in educational life yet
she is forging to the front and will
eventually occupy her former attitude
in educational progress.
The citizens here are anxious and
eager for graded school and they are
going to have one in the near future.
Our county superintendent, Prof. j. ID.
EZZell, is Straining every nerve to that
end. The people are behind him and
victory is sure. He is principal of the
Dunn High School, and under him
great improvement has been made. He
read the honor roll and delivered the
medals won by the students in the diff
ferent departments. Miss Dees, in the
academic department won the hand
some medal donated by Col. John c..
Angler, for the highest attainments in
scholarship. Several other prizes were
awarded.
