Raleigh, jury 17.-Raleigh people
are voting today on whether or not
the city will have nine months of
school neDxt year and grant an in
crease of about 10 per cent to it's
teachers. It is maintained by those
favoring the supplement that the ex-
ira month can be added and the 10
per cent salary increase given without
increasing the city tax rate. for if
the election carries, it will merely re-
tain a 16 cents school levy that has
been levied for other purposes that
will otherwise be dropped.
Slightly more than $500 persons reg
istered for the election. Since the
voting will be against the registration,
a majority of these $500 must vote
for the supplement- or it will be de-
Ceated.
Those favoring the supplement are
hopeful that it will carry and are con-
fident of getting majority. The News
and Observer has been carrying front
page editorials urging all those who
have registered to vote for the sup
plement, while the Raleigh Times has
also been backing the move for the
longer school term and higher pay for

THE best American League pennant scramble in years is
under way and most surprising of all, of course, is the
showing of the "despised' st. Louis Browns, a 200 to l shot
at the start of the season. Nobody expects the tailenders of
1888 to snatch the flag, but just at the moment they are
creating a stir, and their manager, KaJah Hornsby, IS a
source for interviews wherever his club plays.
