SHOW GOOD SENTIMENT
IN SCHOOL ELECTION

The regular annual school elections
were held last Saturday in every coun-
ty in the state. Reports Indicate that
the campaigns, which have been con
Quoted during recent years i'm favor Of
increased revenues for the school, have
fOrne fruit.
From returns that have reached us,
it appears that practically all of
the school districts in Randolph coun-
ty voted the full 12-mill tax There
has been decreasing number of
districts in recent years voting less
than the maximum. The sentiment
of the people. generally, appears to be
in favor of even higher maximum
and it is predicted that the proposed
amendment to the constitution, rails
ing the district school tax to an 1S-mill
maximum will prevail in the general
election in 1926.
Reports from eight districts receiv-
ed up to Wednesday night are as fol
lows
Pocahontas: 60 votes polled, the
lowest vote in years; every vote cast
was for 10 mills; Ben A. Brown and

Decoration Day
(By Hon. W. L. Pope)

l want to ask a small favor of the
many readers of the Star Herald
Take your Bank Calendars Off the
wall or your Ladies' Birthday Alman-
acs off the mantel and turn to Satur-
day, May Both. Put a big black mark
around that date. And, thea, do not
forget it,
There is probably no community in
the state more suited to proper re-
membrance of Decoration Day than
this one. Our cemetery is not surpas-
sed for natural beauty in all the state.
Here great oaks stand as mighty senti-
nels over the bivOuac of our cherished
dead. No other spot is kissed so ten
derly by the slanting rays of the wes-
tern sun. What q beautiful custom
to assemble there each year and pay
our tribute of respect to those we love
who have passed on before us! Our
sentiments are stirred when we re-
member that in this hallowed ground
rests the boldest of pioneers, the wis
est of statesmen, the bravest of sol
diers.
The committee has labOred to ar
range an attractive and appropriate
program for that day. 1t is Randolph
county's one big day in the year. Let
us ALL on Saturday May 29tlt, at 2
p. m carry to the cemetery our tributes
of love and honor.
