The site for the new school build
int- In Swansboro was visited Monday
h. superintendent of Public Instruc-
ton J. u. Eggleston and Architect
Wright. MIR. Eggleston said Tuesday
that it was one of the prettiest loca-
items for a schoolhouse that he had
ever seen. In addition to the land
scape loneliness of the place there Is
historic association that Is indeed
touching said the head of the State
school department, because upon chat
sacred ground Is located the breast
works behind which the Confederates
often repulsed the attacks of over
whelming numbers of the enemy. And
upon the apex of the hill, said Mr..
Eggleston, Ben r. Owen. Jr., gam
bled in his youthful innocence many,
many years ago.
Mr., owen Is now known in poiiti-
cal circles as the secretary to gov
errors. and he Is Il member OF the
Swansboro school board that Will
build the handsome school house on
the new site above mentioned. IL
liz expected that the building will be
ready for occupancy for the session
of the school which begins next fall.
Swanshoro is also endeavoring to
get the board Of supervisors to au-
thorize the establishment of some
lighting system for the town. While
not Incorporated. the town Ia laid of
in streets properly named and num-
bered, but there are no street lights,
and being thickly populated, the ctti-
gems think they should have light at
night as protection and also con-
yenience. The matter will possibly
be considered at the next meeting of
the board.
