Voters To Decide
School Future
On March 18th

With 90 new registrations on
the books in city hall here. II was
evident that interest in the Marc''
25th school bond election is IN
the limelight throughout the area
this week and voters realize the
all-importance of the bond issue.
Next Tuesday, voters will have
the opportunity of going to the
uolls and deciding whether or
not S1,OOO,O00 will be spent in Co
lumbus county to provide adequ-
ate school facilities.
Reports from all sections OF the
county indicated tremendous
interest in the election with hun
dreds of voters who were alrady
registered checking with regis
strars to make sure that they will
be able to vote Tuesday.
1--WE must pass this school bond
election if education is to come
up sto standard" Al Williams.
member of the county board OF
education. stated this week.
Business and civic leaders here
endorsed the school bond election
issue 100 per cent last week.
Since that time, citizens of the
Fair Bluff area have expressed
their endorsement of the issue and
officials seem to think that i
is the general opinion that voters
must pass the issue or else take
backward step in education
that it will take years to over
come.
Several school buildings in the
county, particular the high school
building here, has been condem-
ned as a fire hazard and unsafe
for occupancy and failure to e.
rect safer facilities might possib-
ly mean the closing of the high
school building.

"Editor Carter is one of the for
mer CPS who did something a
bout this weekly newspaper bu-
siness. He hoped from the Uni

Tabor City last June for a mer-

been assembling machinery for
his own plant and while literally
working his head off to develop
live and readable local paper for
Tabor. He has made good at it.
and Tabor City is showing its
appreciation of his efforts and
ability by liberal advertising and
subscription patronage. Horace
