Cooperation in Cen
eral Clean-Up

Fire Prevention Week is being OBJ
served mere this week under the lead
ership of the city fire department
and Fire Chief E. T. Shepherd stated
today that the campaign would be

A quantity of literature has been re-
ceived from the State Department of

the week as the occasion for fire pre-
vention efforts.

One of the fire trucks has been
decorated with banners calling atten-
ton to the occasion, and will be

The city has had a perfect fire pre-
VentiOn record in the past four
months, when not a single fire has
occurred within the city limits with a
damage sufficient to be recorded. It
IS hoped by the firemen that this re-
cord may be continued indefinitely.

were prepared to go ahead with the
procedure.
It was planned also to make full
settlement with Sheriff j. E. Hamlet

collection, and also to turn over the
new 1886 books to him for collection.

Receipts OF
Post Office
Still Rising
81 ,43O in September,
Compared to $4,284
l. a s t Year, Post
master Says

Receipts of the Henderson post Of
flee continue to show increases over
last year, and Postmaster J. r. Tea
que announced today that the gross
business for September amounted to
$4,430.30, a gain of $145.6O over the
$4,284.7O in September last year. This
was the first month the post office
has been in the temporary quarters
while the old building is being re-
modelled and enlarged.
september figures bring the totals
for the first nine months of 1896 t.
$34, O77.85, as compared with S31, 1888 .25.
or a gain of $2,739.6O for this year so
ar.
With three months yet to run. and
the best quarter of the year ahead. il
Is considered a certainty that the Of
flee will exceed the all-time high
made in 1885, which was S45.273.65
The office is now only approximately
1900 behind last years entire total.
whereas in the final quarter of 1895
the gross business done was approx
mately $4,000. If the same rate of in
crease holds for the last quarter as
that made in the first three quarters
of the year, there is possibility that
the office may hit the $4,000 mark
for 1886. There is every indication
that it will be around $4,000 or better.
With the new building occupied
some time next summer, it is expect
ed that the office may be granted a
number of additional conveniences in
the way of increased service to

OVERCROWD|NG OF
BUSES IS ALLEGED
But School Trucks In Vance
Declared To Be Under
Strict Rules

Strictest rules regarding the trans
pOrtatiOn of school children were
given school bus drivers when they
took the job and special directions
were issued that three trips be made
if necessary to the Townsville school,
to which charges of overcrowding
were directed this week, Vance COun-
ty school authorities, headed by Coun-
ty Superintendent E. M. Rollins, said
today
The Rev. S. L. Morgan, former
pastor of the First Baptist Church
here, who made the charges, said he
was not pleased with the tone of the
statement made about the matter by
Lloyd Griffin, secretary of the State
School Commission, who was quoted
as having said, eff the charges are
true, the principal should be fired
as "too incompetent to hold his job
The minister said he was surprised
that Griffin did not acknowledge that
at least taxpayers, if not the school
commission itself, should share the
blame for ''such shameful overcrowd-
ing as was described.'
mo one shall excel me in defend
ing the School Commission against
unreasoned criticism, but I am dis
posed to go to any length, and I be-
lieve the Townsville community will
do the same, in defending the young
principal of the Townsville school,
against bearing all the blame. It may
be dead easy to give orders from the
Raleigh office to make three trips
with school bus, but the school anC
the patrons know another angle tt
the matter and they are entitled tc
a voice."
Local officials are fully aware Of
transportation problems, and Rollins
said the State commission has giver
all possible cooperation with thu
Vance County board, which he sale
has no fault to find with the coop
GRAFTON of either local or State au
thorities. The habit of larger boys OF
riding on tenders and hoods Of trucks
at times is expressly against the rules

He added that he believed tn
