Spirit of the Press
n Dog Tax.
Neck Commonwealth.

Scotland Neck Commonwealth.
Some weeks ago correspondent of
the Commonwealth suggested that the
town authorities of Scotland Neck
could help out the Graded school fund
by taxing the dogs in the town. We
gladly printed the communication
hoping that some one else would take
it up and either favor or oppose the
suggestion. AS no one has done so
the Commonwealth takes it up: and
Notwithstanding the possibility of
mortal offence to some, we make bold
to say that we heartily agree with the
suggestion. We think that quite lit
tie revenue could thus be secured for
the graded school,. We go further and
say that we should like to see a law
for taxing dogs throughout the State,
Notwithstanding some one has al
ready raised the question as to wheth-
er 1T would be constitutional to tax
dogs. Yes, and we venture a little
further and say we should be glad to
have special statute for taxing the
dogs in Halifax county, if the General
Assembly cannot venture on the whole
State. A tax in Halifax county of one
or two dollars per dog would bring
considerable money, and if applied to
the public schools would be quite a
little help to them.

College and Richmond College was al

Baptist colleges of the two States
The debate was upon a high plane
and the young men acquitted them
selves with credit to their colleges and

Such contests of intellect, not only
give zest to college debates, but they
prove instructors of the general pub

couraged.

ward at rapid rate and Mr.. Williams
says the road will be completed by
the first of next June. This road, as
now chartered, will come to within
eight miles of Durham and three
miles of Chapel Hill. If proper en-
enlargement is given there is no doubt
but that Durham can get the road.
The New Hope Valley road connects
with the Seaboard at Wilson'S cross
ing, between New Hill and Merry
Oaks. 1t will come up the New Hope
Valley and in this way a valuable
timbered section will be placed on the
market. If completed to Durham it
would give our people a direct south
ern outlet for both freight and pas
senger traffic, giving the Seaboard a
much shorter outlet south and the
Norfolk and Western would also get
q fine southern outlet.
