Appeal From Brief Committeeman

To the Editor of The Journal
twenty-five years ago Brief did not
exist. Instead, the present district
was in two: the Faulk and the Nc
Manus. Brief being the result of their
consolidation in 1897. Thus We see
that our good school was made posi-
bic through the medium of conso ida
tion, but not on the modern plan.
During this quarter-century period
of existence our school has enjoyed
great progress. of which we are CRATE
fully appreciative. While probably
not so much good as might be ex-
pected has been accomplished through
these years, we nevertheless pride
ourselves as glad witnesses TO
the progressive steps and good
works of Improvement of recent
years. especially that Of last years
record which. according to facts and
figures. beats all others as regards
the award ng of Seyenth-grade diplo-
mas. there having beer 10 in all re-
ceived by students here-eight of
which were acquired the past year
under the successful principalship of
Prof. /. B. Huneycutt.
We are not yet going to entertain
the idea of any hing else but another
geod school this year, and Ie COM
mand you to a deeper consideration
OF the significance and Importance Of
your cooperation with and support of
the school continuously and unfalter-
irgly. We are on the forward march
for good and. through mutual coop
Grafton and united effort, we can con-
t.nue to build for the interest of the
better development of the children Of
our community.
Another thing we are proud TO
note is the increase in the average
attendance of our school during the
time Prof. Ray Funderburk has held
the office of County Superintendent
OF schools, the record beginning in
l9lS-l9 with an enrolment of l09
and an average attendance of so;
enrolled in 1920 with an average
of -; enrolled in l920-2l 1872
with an average of 90; enrolled in
l92l-22 l3l with an average Of 81.

BOSTON, July 10.-Fear ofa short
age of coal is the ny in the ointment
in the business situation In New Eng
land. 1t may be taken as certain that
the coal strike must be- settled with
in a very few weeks or there will of
necessity be q general slowing up of
manufacturing and possibly some
cutting of railroad service in this
section.
Railroad officials and union leaders
give conflicting reports OF the rail-
road strike situation, but to date the
Boston and Maine, the New Haven
and the Boston and Albany roads
have maintained train schedules. 1t
is believed approximately three-quar-
ters of the shopmen are out. The
strikers in the cotton mills are gradu-
ally drifting back to work, a few at
a time.
It is believed that autumn will see
a considerable business boom here.
AS it is, many lines of business are
normal now. Building construction
and road work are very active. The
manufacture of boots and shoes Is
showing decided improvement and
the leather market is exhibiting a
corresponding firmneSs and activity.

prices are higher.

impatience with the delay in the new

district convention to be held next
Friday. Failing an, outcome enabling
tho miners to continue their opera
tions, there is a possibility of
e1eventh-hour intervention by the
government through the appointment
of a new arbitration board. This is
regarded as a last resort.
The strike, II called, will affect all
mine workers except miners of the
Christian and Polish miners unions,
which have specified their intention
Of not participating. Iron ore and
Ignite workers already have decided
to join the strike unless a blanket
wage scale is fixed Immediately The

work as part of the demonstration
against the Rathenau assassination
lessened the output by about 380,000

the twenty-four hours suspension is
estimated at at least 1,000,000,000
marks.
