A force of county convicts, employed
by the State Grand Lodge I. O. O. F.,
are engaged under the supervision of
Mr.. John Slaughter in laying a sewer
pipe from the Odd Fellows Old Folks

many thousands died that a splendid

The site for the Goldsboro and Wayne
county High School is still in debate.
The Board of Trustees have taken unto
themselves the rerogative Of selecting
the location; but as the County Board
of Education make considerable OF an
annual appropriation to it, the ARGUS
would suggest that they should have
the right to sit with Board of Trustees
in determining the location Of the school.

The ARGUS made a suggestion, edi-
torially, the other day. that we vote g
tax of $3.50, 900 on Wayne county fol
building good roads. That suggestion
is finding widespread favor. What
the Wayne county farmers need most
is good roads. They are willing to pay
for them: all they ask is the opportun-
ity. The County Commissioners should
not longer delay giving the people O.
the county the chance to vote on the
question. Mecklenburg county has
that county is still building roads
Why not Wayne make a beginning?
