An enrolment we'll over 900 was
reported for the Colored graded
school in Henderson today by the
principal, Edwin D. Johnson. While
registration took place last week, the
formal opening exercises were held
Wednesday and Thursday Of this
week, johnson reported. He said two
days was necessary for the opening
because of the large number of chill
dren in attendance.
On Wednesday, the grammar grade
children were addressed by Charles
w. Williamson, local Negro attorney.
He told the children this is the time
for them to make up their minds as
to their detectives in school. On
Thursday, Dr. Carol B. Cotton spoke
to the primary children on her eX-
periences at a birthday party given
for spastics. She is Henderson girl,
who has distinguished herself with a
dissertation on spastics that won for
her the degree of doctor of philo-
sophy from the University of Chi
cago, as well as membership in two
national scientific societies.
The colored school opened on

ed, in the city and county. The quar-
ters for the school, at the foot of

Better Light
For Streets
Offered City

A proposal from the Carolina
Power & Light Company for renewal
of the city's contract for street light
ing, whereby 72 percent more light
for the same price the city is now
paying, would be given the city is to
come before the City Council at its
monthly meeting next Monday even
ing, Mayor Henry 7. Powell said to-
day.
The five-year contract with the
company for lighting the white way,
installed in 1894, is about to 81 pirc,
and this must be renewed. It is un-
derstood, however, that the new pro-
posal Of the power company applies
to all street lighting.
More light would pe afforded to
the city by discarding light bulbs now
in use and inserting in their stead
larger bulbs. These would consume
more current and provide more than
half as much more illumination as
now, and at no extra cost to the city,
according to the mayors interpreta-
ton of the new contract.
Mayor Powell said that other than
the lighting contract matter, he knew
of very little of importance that
would likely come before the City
Council at its meeting Monday even
ing.

How the automatic pistol came to
be SO near the mans body is nyS-
terry. 1t has not been definitely de-
clared whether COggsdale had the
weapon on him at the time he was
shot, or whether it was concealed un-
der counter, and that he fell NOR

 The strike was called Shortly be- fofe midnight after representa- tives Of the union and the Penn Zone and Mid-Town Realty Owners aSso- ciation had ended an eight-hour conference.

About lb0 buildings are under independ. e1t ownership and of the others, about 200 have been operating with. out any union contract

 How far must we go in the policy Of appeaSement? Peaceful settle- ficnt by reason is rejected. The em- ployers offered to negotiate, mediate or arbitrate. They offered to accept any rational formula. The unions answer Is, 'We must take something back to our members."
