Close Successful Term The fall term examinations of WIn- high school will begin Monday morning and continue through Wed- at which time tho fall closes. This closes one of the most successful terms In the history of o school The spring term will begin Tuesday, January prospects are good for the spring term In some cases the county papers also ran the lessons, three each week so that the student as. he learned to read would have supplementary material at hand in an account of affairs about him. The State Department of Education suggested In Its bulletin that each county superintendent of schools, tho farm demonstration agents, the or president of the Farmers Union, the mayor of the county seat, and representatives from the Junior Order and Women's clubs. The ob- of this committee was to late and work out plans or appoint other committees when necessary.

Whatever the plans were moonlight schools have been taught successfully and are still taught. A nearby town Is planning to begin the year 1916 with a moonlight school month.

An election was held in that township yesterday when was carried by a majority of The bonds will amount to and will all be utilized In improving the roads in township. It s said that the move had received considerable opposition prior to the time of holding the election, but on yesterday morning, the good road en- who have been working faithful In the Interest of the issuance of bonds, rallied around the polls and carried it through without a single hitch. roads, Its is said, are In need of much improvement and the people of that township are reported to be unusually over the car- of the issue yesterday. Plans will be made at once to sell the bonds and It Is hoped to get the work of proving and building roads well Just as soon as the weather conditions in the spring will permit. Being the fifth township to vote for bonds for road building, Is breaking the Ice for the other town- ships, it is said, for they will be mighty glad to get In line in the hope of having their road facilities proved. Prior to the election the enthusiasts for good roads In township traveled over all the constructed roads in the other townships which have voted bonds and expressed themselves as well pleased with the outcome and had voiced the hope that would be able to carry the Issue. Ii Is said in reliable quarters, that other townships are going to begin an agitation for the Issuance of bonds for the purpose of building better roads and to Improve those that they now have. Old residents of this county view this step forward In a pleasing light and cite the fact that what they have longed dreamed of Is now becoming a reality. One thing that attests the fact that the roads In this county arc already becoming popular with the neighbor- counties Is that Beaufort has ready sent a party of good roads boosters through this section and that at each time that anything Is said In Beaufort about good roads, Pitt is cited as an example.

Pitt county war veterans and of veterans will be ma happy if they will call at the office of the Clerk of the Court, for they will find a check there waiting for them. The checks for the war pensioners were received this morning, and total amount that will be paid out in Pitt county this year Is which will be divided up among fifty-seven widows of war veterans and sixty- veterans themselves. The clerk is asking that all those who receive pensions call at the office at the ear- opportunity and get It. There are widows In county who are in the fourth on the pen- list. One soldier the third class, and sixty-seven who are in the fourth class. These receive amounts according to their class. It is a usual occurrence that checks for the veterans arrive just before Christmas, and they are ways highly appreciated. It Is a little astonishing to some, it Is supposed, to loam that the State Is annually paying back into this over four thousand dollars for the purpose of helping those who fought In the Civil War and their widows, but it is nevertheless true.

It Is in line with the trend of the times in educational matters, which is to extend the benefits of the large well graded schools to tie rural dis- If this election carries, as It seems that it will, one school will displace the four schools now operated in this township. This will give a district with a census of children, and will require probably about five or six teachers. Tills will enable the school to be graded and will make it possible for the teachers to give the children that individual attention that is so necessary. It will also make possible, work in agriculture, domestic science and music. There are at present in this town- ship one school employing one teach- and three employing two teachers. Consequently, the children attend school in which one teacher has from three to seven grades and from fifteen to thirty-five classes per day.

There would be pupils enough and teachers enough to grade the school properly and to give the children as good advantages as could be found anywhere.

Col. Grimes And Treasurer Lacy Said To Have Held Jobs Long Enough Be Re-Elected. A special from Washington to the Greensboro News Monday states that there is a likelihood of there being a determined effort made on the part of the Democrats to oust Col. J. Bryan Grimes, Secretary of State, and Treas- B. Lacy from their jobs on the grounds that it is not good policy for the Democratic administration to let one man hold an office for such a long length of time. Col. Grimes has been Secret of State for about sixteen years while Treasury Lacy has occupied his Job for practically the same length of time. Both, it is said, have performed their duties in office to the entire faction of the whole State, and their adherents in Eastern Carolina are to regard the rumor from Wash- as unfounded. said an adherent of Col.
