Citizens Who Would Reap Greatest
Benefit From Its Establishment
Are Fighting the Bond Election
From Misunderstanding OF Its
Benefit as Compared to Cost.

II seems that those who favor the
establishment OF the farm life school
In Durham county will have TO be-
stir themselves, get their NAMES upon
the registration books and poll their
full strength If the ele~tion is car
ried. A number OF misguided op-
ponents az the school have arisen in
several sections OF the county withla
the past few days, and they have be-
gan a persistent campaign for de-
feating the measure. All sorts of
absurd rumors and misrepresenta-
tions Of the aims and purposes OF
the sci col are being ciIculates.
Strange 10 say, the greater part of
the opposition TO the measure
threatens TO come from the formers
who would reap the most direct bene-
fits from the establishment of the
school and upon whom the burden
OF It's establishment and main
tcnante would fall highest. A large
majority OF the tax payers of the
city. upon whom the burden would
fan and who would be benefited
only indirectly. favor the establish
ment Of the school and will vote in
favor Of the establishment.
The committee made up of the
principal citizens OF the city and
county who have in charge the pro-
motion OF the school are conducting
a vigorous campaign. They believe
that opposition 20 the school results
from lack OF knowledge Of the real
benefits that will be derived and the
real purposes Of the school. To dis
seminate knowledge OF the details
Of the workings OF the school and
the real cost II the tax payers as
against the benefits that win be de-
rived. the committee is preparing to
circulate as widely as possible litera-
ture bearing on the sabject. This
committee has no interest in the
establishment OF the school other
than as citizens who desire TO pro-
mote the best interest Of the county
and see Il progress along agricul-
tural lines.
