A LONG STEP BACKWARD.

In defeating the farm life school.
the people Of Durham county have
taken long step backward on the
road to progress and prosperity.
1t is not so much the lack OF the
farm life school as the spirit OF IN
progressiveness that is shown.
When the people Of county deliber-
ately go on record at the polls as not
fayoring progress in education, the
backwardness of that county Is
easily explained. Until the people OF
the county show a more progressive
and enlightened spirit Durham coun-
ty win continue TO be open to the
charge of being the poorest agricul-
tural county in the state.
