Building in Luneburg.

There Is no Capitalization Of
SCHOOLS In Lunenburg county. nor Is
any contemplated. The complaint
made by DR.. Mann Is based on the
fact that We are compelled to close a
school because II has less than the
legal number of pupils to keep open,
and therefore must cease to pay high
rent for an old building to Mr.. Rob
ertson, for whom he speaks"
In these terms u. II. Kennedy, trus-
tee of the Brown Store school district
In Lunenburg county explained the
situation about which DR., Mann com
planned to Secretary of the Board Of
Education Stearnes Thursday DIR.
Mann asked that representative of
the State board be- sent to Lunenburg
county to make an investigation. He
declared that one or more schools
were to be closed this fall and that a
number of pupils would be compelled
to abandon their studies or walk long
distances ever bad roads to distant
schools,
Mr.. Kennedy, who has been In

visit and called upon Secretary

Kennedy. Under special conditions,
the division superintendent may con-
duet school with Is pupils, and In
places where the roads are especially
bad and the district sparsely settled
the superintendent Of public instruc-
ton may keep a school open with
10 pupils,
In the Browns Store district there
are several schools. One Of them is
located near DR.. Mann's farm. 1t has
been conducted in an old building
which We rented from Mr.. Robertson
for good, fat sum. The attendance
has been eight pupils. two less than
the law requires, for six months.
Three of these pupils have said they
would attend the KenbridDe school
This left but five pupils The school
therefore virtually closed itself The
five pupils will be taken to a school
nearby In wagon provided by the

called meeting of the State Democratic

1t was held that neither Congressman

Tar nominee of the party for Congress

ular convention at Wrightsyille, sew
eral weeks ago, there was a spit, one
convention nominating Godwin. the
present incumbent, and the other noini-
mating A. l.. Clark. Each claimed to
be the regular nominee, and the mat
ter was placed before the State execu-
tive committee. This committee APP
pointed special committee of Ave
prominent men to investigate the con-
test and report at meeting TO. be
called by the chairman of the execu-
tive committee. This special commit
tee examined twenty or twenty five
witnesses. including the contesting can
didates. Wednesday night the State
executive committee met to hear the
report of the special committee.
The committee was asked TO inves-
tigate three fittings Has the commit
tee power to act In this matter? Who
Is the regular nominee? And what is
best solution of the problem? The
committee reported that II believed ID
had power TO act, that neither OF the
men were regularly nominated, and II
recommended voting primary for the
district to settle the matter. The re-
port was an exhaustive one, and was
ready by e~-Governor Aycock. There
was minority report by exCongress
man Klutz. which said that Clark was
the regular nominee. After "A lengthy
discussion the executive committee
adopted the majority report by a big
majority. The question of a Statewide
primary was brought up and the pri-
mary was ordered 20 be held before
