Major Hays will not H: stand for re-election as Mayor. W The most earnest advocates of the new ? graded school building do not want or expect the money to be spent extravaga.r t- p ! ly, and if it is found that a suitable hocke ^ can be built and furnished for $(>,000, only {that amount of bonds will be issued. All ue this talk of having to issue ten thousand dollars in bonds is a mere bugaboo. A _ reliable gentleman tells us he already has I a buyer for the bonds who will accept any ,ja amount we issue, even if not more than $5,000 so if the building committee de- W1 cides to erect a building for less thau pa $10,000, there will be no difficulty in float- jal ing the bonds. Every man wdio wants to is see the town and community prosper should go and vote for the lxmds, for the As money is not going to be wasted.

He had a good audience, many of the leading c^izens of the town being p present. Many ladies were in the au- a dience. Carroll made a good talk on the ^ race problem, and of course brought up p , the work in which he is engaged: that of ^ training negro children to be intelligent c, industrial workers. Our white people a' were well pleased with his speech, and 0 in a partial canvass of the town on Mon- tj day he received substantial aid for his a school. Gen. F. M.

Another Carload Saturday, the 21s School Mass Meeting. A mass meeting was held in the coi iuse Monday afternoon for the purpc r discussing the question of issui] >nds for the erection of a new grad hool building, there being some oppo 3n to voting ten thousand dollars f is purpose. Hon. F .Gxplolk was ma lairman. Sever'* .jgYJrfg speeches i-iir t)io limiKL WHre made, ai bile Maj. E. R. Hays and Gen.

Folk, and others spoke vor of the dwelling, showing the nee id necessities of the district in tL atter, and making strong arguments vor of the erection of a new and ad late building. It appears that all are agreed as to t! icessity of a new building, and the on fference of opinion is as to the amou icessary for this purpose. It is believi at with the election of a judicious buil g committee, composed of sound bu; iss men who will not spend one doll ore than is absolutely necessary, f use for opposition will have vanishe jis building committee is to be cot >sed of live members, and the meetii ade the following suggestions, fro tiich the five ean be choseu : Maj.
