HIGH SCHOOL NEEDED

Huntsville, July 15.-(Special) IA special election to allow the people of Hunts ville to vote on proposed issue of bonds to build new high school. will be called within the next few days. The question of new high school has been one of great interest here during the last sev- eral months and the commissioners were in doubt as to wether or not the city could issue any further bonds for this purpose. A committee of lawyers was appointed sometime ago to investigate the matter and their reports show that the city has the right to issue bonds if majority of the voters approve. They also suggest that if 8 tuition fee of $10 a year is charged each pupil and the money devoted to the payment of in terest on the new bonds the bond issue can be sold without any trouble.

A Thing sadly Needed.


Interest Is being revived in the
nun scipal code idea, of which the
ereIeEram has long been an ardent
advocate. This is undoubtedly due
OF the conspicuous difficulties recent
" encountered by several West Nlr-
ginia cities in trying to govern thenl-
selves Satisfactorily with alleged
commission schemes of govern ment
provided by SPECIAL charter dispen-
satfons. Some of these cities, espe-
cially those that have merely added
commissioners to the old form
OF government, have shown the rest
Of the state that they have been
merely footballs Kicked around oy
squads Of politicians for their own
special benefit.

EnherneraI SLOGANS.

Clarksburg is stin the Fuel City
Of the Fuel State, despite the Efforts
OF some to do away with that appro-
pirate cognomen and substitute for
it = palpable imitation OF Pittsburg 5
trade slogan. which, BY the way, has
more OF ALTERATION than common
sense Clarksburg's old slogan is
rood one and is a stlolSer. AS much
cannot be said, however, OF many
less appropriate ones that have eeeh
adopted from time 70 time by DINER
cities in this state.
SfsterSville adopted one a year OF
30 ago, but can any one recall wnat
Il was? Charleston's once famous
play on humor, also, has gone by the
hoard. And where, oh, where IS
the long-drawn-out wal with wh1ch
Fairmont was so happy two or
three years ago. ParbersburS
adopts one regularly year after year
and its latest attempt. shamefully

the consolation, however, that this
has only about eleven months TO rum
and that IN much less than that time
Il will be happily forgotten.
Viewing the field over, it = seen
that Ciarksb4rg has the only per

years ago and it does valiant service
yet. Clarks0urg is sttll the Fuel
