Consolidating the Schools.

One of the problems that should re
ceiv, the attention of every rural
community this winter is the matter
of rural school consolidation. While
it is not practical for every com
munity to consolidate at this time, the
advantages and possibilities of consoli.
dation should be known and consid.
cred by everyone. Consolidation is
one of the great modern movements
that will tend to interest boys and
girls in country life, increase the value
of farm property, and better the con-
ditions of life in the country. Elk

JUDGE CARTES STOPS
SALE OF BONDS

The people who are backing the Hi
awassee Valley Railway Co received
a backset Saturday when judge
Frank Carter issued an Injunction
restraining the sale of the $4,000
in bonds voted by Valley township
in Cherokee county for the purpose
OF constructing this railroad.
!. 1t is set forth in the complaint
that an alleged election" was held
in Valley township on June End for
the purpose Of voting bonds IN. the
sum of $4,000, by virtue of the
special local laws Incorporating the
Hiawassee railroad. The complaint
states that ON advice and belief the
proper notices of the election were
not posted for the election; that the
alleged registrars and judges of the
election were not appointed and
qualified according to the law: that
the election was held, or an ATTEMPT
was made to hold it, by divers per-
sons not qualified to do so; and that
it was otherwise irregular, illegal
and contrary to the rules and repu-
lations as provided for the election
of county officers by the general
laws of the state.
1t it then further stated that as
a result of this alleged election the
defendants are attempting to sell
bonds in the sum OF $4,000 of
Valley township to be donated or
subscribed to the above named rail-
road; that Clay county is alleged to
have subscribed or donated $4,000
to the railroad, to be raised by the
selling of bones; and that the rail-
road is only authorized to issue
capital stock to the Of $125.0OO, or
$25,O0O less than is purported to
have been subscribed OF donated bv
this township and county, not to
the Individual stockhold-
ers, who are supposed to holo STOCK
in the company.
1t is then alleged in the complaint
that the plalnun and other Tree
and taxpayers OF Valley
township would be heavily taxed
and irrepairably injured by the sale
OF these bonds, wherefore the re-
straining oraer was asked.
The assurance OF this restraining
order will probably hold up the op-
eratlons in building the road tor
some time, if not permanently. The

that the membership will re .ch
200 or more families within a very
short time-in fact, as soon as a

1t is one of the most attractive de-
velopments that this section has

The capital stock of the COMPANY

A very conservative estimate OF
the cost of these residences is
placed at $4,000 each, and many of
them will cost a great deal more.
