THIS SETTLES THE QUESTION.
THE TOWN AND COUNTY STAND TOGETHER AND WILL BOTH DO
THEIR PART.
It is strange what statements people will sometimes make in
their eagerness to turn sentiment. It reached tho cars of The R e
Hector that some people were trying so hard to defeat the proposed
bond issue to secure the Eastern training school in Pitt county.
they have been telling that Greenville did not propose to apply any
of the town bonds toward the school but was going to use them all
for town improvements, and would depend upon the county bonds
the school. Of course such a statement is absurd, and that
no one might be deceived by it we addressed a letter to the board
of county commissioners while that body was in session Monday
to get an expression from the members that will settle the matter-
