RAILROAD TRAFFIC HEAVY
Scarcity of Cars Causes Delay in

Continued heavy traffic Of all kinds is
putting the traffic and transportation
officials Of the r., b and W. railroad
to theid wits end TO supply sufficient cars
for it's travelling despite the large amount
OF new equipments that have been de-
hvdrod within the past month or two.
one Of the traffic men says that he
could not see where all the cars went to

The heavy traffic is not confined TO any
one class but is largely what is known as
general merchandise. The car situation

The Atlanta massacre of negroes is deplorable
and many people far distant from the turbulent
scenes, are giving advice as to how such conflicts
between races can be stopped. The truth is, no
one knows how to prevent such outbreaks of
human passion, If there no crimes which
provoke the lynchngs, there would be few, if any
race conflicts. But dismal as it may seem, it is
doubtful if history shows two wholly dissimiliar
races like the blacks and whites, living together
in absolute peace.

With the Schools
Parents Meetinf.

About twenty-five parents attended
the parents meeting held in the Pres
byterian church last Friday afternoon.
The topics Of the program as pub
lished were taken up and discussed.
Mrs. Miller led in the discussion of
the topic, ''School Visitation" Mr..
Garfield that of Text Books" and
Mrs. nemaray that of''Attendance:an
Punctuality" Other speakers were
Rev. Mcintyre, Miss Billingslea. Mr..
LamSon Mrs. Lyons. f. w. Brainard
and Superintendent Rosebrough. The
topic that excited most general discus
sion was Text Books 1t seemed to
De the consensus Of opinion that the
free text book plan is the most prac-
tica solution of the question. The
following points were made in favor
Of free text books:
!. The books are always on hand on
the first day of the term and teachers
and pupils may begin work at once
=. In town like Holly there is al
ways large floating population. Pu-
pills of parents who are in Il place TEN
porarily delay or refuse to buy books.
Free books obviateS this difficulty.
3. If a pupil should by chance be as
signed to a grade too high or too low,
with free books. the mistake could at
once be rectfied without compelling
The pupil to buy new books.
T. The free text book plan enables
the teacher to review class deficient
in book the class has dropped.
5.Fres text books give pupils in all
grades a great variety of reading mat
ter and thus increases interest. This
is an especially important part with
primary pupils
e. Free text books prevents the
spread of contagious diseases: for the
books of pupils stricken with contagi-
Gus diseases, being the property Of the
district. can be burned or disinfected
at once.
T. In the long run free text books
are cheaper; for the books can be en-
tirely used up. II the free text book
plan were universal, no half-used text
hooks would be found in our houses.
8, The plan induces care of pubic
property, for the teacher can insist on
the proper care of the books belong
ing TO the district. and the respect for
public property thus begun will ex-
Tend to habitual respect for all
classes of public property.
8. The plan has worked well wher-
ever tried. 1t was the opinion of
those present that another parents
meeting should be called before the
end of the school year.
