INCREASE IN LOCAL SCHOOL
TAXES A BENEFIT.

1t must give great satisfaction to
every citizen of the county inter
ested in the welfare of the common
schools to know that the Kentucky
Legislature by an act passed at Its
last session has made it possible to
increase the local school taxes, and
thereby in measure to give just
and proper salaries to the teachers
of the county schools.
With the increase in salary will
come the demand for higher quail
ificatiOns of the teacher, and it will
not be too much to expect a High
School and Normal School graduate
in every school room in the State.
Many teachers who have had no nor
NAL training will be compelled to
attend the Spring and Summer
term, and in some instances, both
terms, to continue in the work with
out losing a school term, to meet
those. requirements. No doubt,
many teachers will be glad to avail
themselves of this opportunity, an
opportunity impossible under the
old salary schedule.
Under the new regime the emer-
gency schools will be discontinued,
but the pupils will be taken care
of in the best possible manner,
and in many instances better
than they are at present. The
school census takers began their
work recently, and the earnest CO.
operation of every. patron in the
county in assisting the trustees to
secure the names and ages of every
child between six and eighteen
years, is urged. The State fund
paid to Bourbon county is deter
mined by the pupils in the school
census. If the trustees should fail
to see you before April 80, give the
name and age of your children to
County School Superintendent J. B.
CaywoOd.

Z. S. TROOPS ON RHINE

WASHlNGT April 5.-Pres-
ident w lson informed the House
Thursday in response to resolution
of inquiry that American troops on
the Rhine still were controlled by the
terms Of the armistice and were sub
Ject only to his orders as Comman-
der-in-chief of the army.
Field Marshall Foch of France, the
President said, has no jurisdiction
over the troops nor are they in any
way controlled by the decisions of
the Allied Rhineland Commission,
which makes ordinances and rules
for the governing of the territory po-
Iced by the allied armies of occupa-
ton.
Major General Allen, commanding
the American troops, the President
wrote, has authority to police the
territory under his control, to pre-
serve order and "to repef any attack
which may be made upon him."
"The American forces in Ger
many" the President wrote, "are at
present operating under the terms Of
the original armistice and the SUBJ
sequent convention prolonging the
armistice.
"The American forces will, how
ever, undertake no action beyond the
Occupied regions, nor beyond that IN
strict accordance with the terms of
the treaty. Any use of the American
forces beyond that mentioned above
must be specifically authorized in
each case by the government Of the
United States"

WHEN BETTER AUTOMOBILES BUICK BUILD mn

Cor. Fourth and Pleasant SITS.
OTHERS HAVE FOUND THIS TO
BE A FACT, TOO.

A certain man from Bourbon
county journeyed to town not a
million miles from Paris to buy a
bill of goods. He made his purchases
with that inward. sinking feeling
that he was being "gyped." In a
day or two the man had occasion to
come to Paris and while here he
made inquiries as to the price OF
the articles he had purchased in
the other town. To his amazement
he found he could have bought the
same articles here in Paris and saw
ed $3.50. You can write your own
moral to this. 1t is an actual fact.

sickness passed over the country the
last part of February and the first
part of March. Complaints were
COMMON during that period. Bad
oolGs, la grippe, and other forms of
weakening sickness were reported
everywhere.
As result of these things thous-
ands of men and women are weak
and run down and it is believed that
the need of Strengthening, health
building spring tonic is more gen.
eral this year than ever before in
history.

pie as spring tonic and is what
countless other men and women
need.

system and is a wonderful strength
builder. Vola-Tonic starts its work
by bringing a normal, healthy ap-
petite aid putting the digestive Or
CANS and bowels in good condition.

Up and enrich the blood and to nour-
ish organs and tissues of the body.

and permits sound, energy-restoring
sleep every night. AS a result, full
normal strength and health soon
comes to the weakened, run down
man or woman.
People who are weak and run
down should take Vola-Tonic this
spring so that they will be strong
and we'll and ready to enjoy summer

A PETITION FOR
DRAINAGE DIST.
Newland Tax Payers Moving For
Road Between Pasquo-
tank and Gates

A petition for a drainage dis
trict to be known as Pasquotank
Drainage District No. / was filed
by 1872 citizens of Newland Town
ship with the Clerk of the Super
ior Court of Pasquotank County
this week. Summonses for those
in the district not signing the pc
tition are now in the hands Of
the sheriff and they must appear
in Court Monday, July 6 and
show cause, if any, why the pro-
posed drainage district should
not be created according to the
North Carolina Drainage Laws.
The proposed drainage district en-
braces about 5000 acres of inundated
lands in the Tadmore section of Pasquo-
tank county, including the swamp thru
which it is proposed to build a road
connecting the highway system of Pas
quotank with the State Highway system
via Gates county. A few weeks ago
Chairman Frank Page of the State
Highway Commission declared that the
state would build dirt road thru the
swamp between Tadmore in Pasquotank
and Acorn Hill in Gates, provided the
tax payers of that section would organ
ize drainage district and construct a
canal from the new road to Pasquotank
river. This provision is made because
the state will have to dig canal thru
the swamp to provide a foundation and
drainage for the proposed swamp road.
But this drainage would be inadequate
unless the drainage canal was carried
out TO the river. Newland folk have
taken Mr.. Page at word and will
provide the necessary drainage. Incl
dentally they will rec1aimn thousands of
acres of swamp lands for which there
! will be lively demand with the coming
! of good roads.
The petition for Pasquotank Drainage
District No. 1 is signed by 1872 citizen
! tax payers of Newland and carries the
names of all except possibly a dozen
| white residents of the district. The pc
| titioners represent an overwhelming ma
| jority Of residents of the district and
an overwhelming majority of the acre
| age involved.
The feasibility of this drainage pro-
| ject has already been assured by compe-
| tent engineers who have found that the
swamp lands to be drained are in some
| cases two feet higher than reclaimed
lands in the same neighborhood and the
| drainaoe area has fall of a foot q mile
J to tidewater.
/ W. L. Cohoon is the attorney for the
lpetitioners and was in fact the progeni-
! tor of the project.
| The project is of unusual Importance
to Elizabeth City because it means 8
definite and substantial move in the di
rection of linking Gates County to the
County of Pasquotank, meaning new
trade and social relations of vast value
| to both counties.

FLIES AND RATS INFEST
CITY'S MARKET HOUSE
Something Wrong About That Market
That Ought to be Cleaned Up

A plague of rats and flies has descend
ed upon Elizabeth City's market build
ing and the fresh meat dealers in that
building are raving over their troubles.
The market is full of flies and the but
chers declare they can't get them out
Bert Davis, one of the occupants, says:
when l had little shop all to myself
[ could corner all the flies in it and kill
them or drive them out; but this place
is so blame big you can't run a~fly down
in it. The same way with rats
There is something wrong with that
markethouse or something wrong in the
vicinity that should claim the imme-
date attention of the City Health Off
GER Flies breed only in filth and it
takes week or ten days for fly to
hatch The butchers swear they don't
permit the accumulation of scraps and
filth long enough to give fly chance
to breed. If the butchers are innocent,
then there must be unsanitary stables
in the Misunderstanding and those sta
bles should be looked after. If some
thing isn't done, Elizabeth City folk will
eat a lot of fly-blown meat this summer.

% DEPENDENT COUNTIES
IN NORTH CAROLINA
Gates, Currituck, Dare and Hyde In
This Section, Fall Under That
Head

There are 33 dependent counties in
North Carolina and four of them are in

pendent county is a county that draws
more money out of the state treasury for
Confederate pensions and public school
funds than they pay into the state trea
sury for state SUPPORT Sixty seven coun-
ties in the state paid in more than they
drew out and carried the deficit of the
delinquent thirty three. The four de-
pendent counties in this district are the
counties of Gates. Currituck, Dare and
Hyde.
Counties fall into the dependent class
for one or several of live reasons, ac-
cordng to the University of North Caro-
lima News Letter. l. poverty. 2. When
properties are listed for taxes at little
or nothing s. Unwillingness to levy
local taxes for better schools. 4. When
birth rates are excessive, making school
attendance phenomenally large. 3. When
Confederate pensioners are numerous
Any one of these causes will edge a
county toward dependency; two or more
of them in combination throw the county
upon the charity of the state: all of
them together mean large statg ,bounties.
And the results are amazing. ssz- 2+a4sS-

ELIZABETH CITY MAN
* LED FIGHT ON COLOR

Efforts to put a Negro equality plank
in the platform adopted by the Repub-
licans at their national convention in
Chicago last week were blocked by the
southern delegates and the most out
spoken leader of these southern dele
gates was ICol Isaac NJ. Meekins of
Elizabeth City.
Col Meekins declared that if the Re
publican party went on record in favor
of equal political rights for the Negro,
North Carolina would go Democratic by
100000 majority in the coming elec-
ton. He declared that the only hope of
breaking the solid south lies IN an all
white Republican party. And in.a speech
to the southern delegates at the con-
vention he declared: 'I have gone thru
this Negro business once and I don't
propose to go through it again"
Col. Meekins anticipated the fight
over the Negro issue in the national
convention and told friends in Elizabeth
City, before leaving for the convention.
that if the Negro was again saddled up
on the party he was done with it.
The rejection of a Negro plank does
not mean however that the Republican
politicians in the south will neglect the
Negro vote or neglect to curry favor
with the Negro. There are lots of them
like G. r. Pugh, of Elizabeth City, whe
will not make any stand for the .politi-
cal freedom of the Negro, but who will
use campaign funds to ground up the
Negro vote and poll it if necessary

A SOLDIERS COMMENT
ON Mr.. SMALL'S DEFEAT
Says Soldiers Beat Him and Will Take
The ScaIps of Others

The defeat of Hon. John FL. Small.
First Congressional District North Car
olina wasn't any surprise, to anyone who
has followed Mr.. Small's stand on the
soldier relief bill.
Your city sent Mr.. Small a petition
requesting him to use his influence in
behalf of it but he refused to support
the wishes of his constituents and work
ed in behalf of big interests.
The war contractors, and others that
have made millions out of the war are
spreading propaganda through the news
papers, that the bill passed by Congress.
will bankrupt the Government, but we
could have gone on for two more years
with them fattening their Golfers with
more each month than it will take for
the adjusted compensation proposed by
Congress.
There will be few more surprises
before the elections are over this Fall
or after the elections are over.
The soldier vote is going to be a big
factor in this years elections. Its go
ing to be a silent vote and no one is
going to know before hand what its go
, ing to be.
Deep down in the hearts of every SOL
der there is feeling of resentment for
the conditions that exists and that have
existed.
The ex-service men are doing some
thinking if they are not doing much talk
ing. I have covered most of the First
| Congressional District of North Caro-
lima and I know the feeling of the ex-
|
one else, being one myself. I always
| try to learn the feeling of others, and
>haze found them almost of the same feel
ing, whenever they would express their
opinions. The defeat of John H. Small
wasn't any surprise, and if he had an
opponent with, more progressive IDEAS
his defeat would have been even more
| over whelming.
| Yours truly,
L. S. BASNIGaT.
