BEEN UP I I Moonlight School Is Getting Advanced In Its Work. HAVE BEEN CAUGHT Said Silas Knight Took The Pig To The Home of Jim Nelson For Safe Keeping. Silas Knight and Jim Nelson were yesterday released from the custody of Constable Whichard, after they had given bond, charged with stealing a pig. It was alleged that Knight stole the pig and took It to the home of Nelson where was retained for what was to be presumed, fattening poses. The pig was stolen from the homo of Mr. W. W. Bullock several nights ago and how he learned that Knight was the one that stole it could not be learned. However, Monday papers were given Constable who set out at once in search of Kn and the pig. When Knight had been taken, was found that the pig was being held at the home of Nelson several miles dis- To that place the constable journeyed in search of Mr. Pig and there he found him. Nelson, in the meantime, learning that the game was spoiled and that he and his accomplice had lost a good lot of pork, Journeyed to Greenville and told how all happened, Is The pig will be held by the officers of the law until final ownership Is established and it has been settled whether or not Knight stole the pig and left it with Nelson. Constable Whichard state that the pig was a fine and that he does not blame a man for hating to lose such a fine porker especially when everything In the meat line Is selling at such a high figure. NOVEMBER WAS ONE Pitt Is Not Be- hind In The Race For Good In This Fine Work. CARRIE FORWARD STEP ii issue m Election Yesterday Result- ed In Majority IS FIFTH TOWNSHIP November Is past, and November in many counties was observed as Moonlight School Month. In some in- stances School ex- tended to six weeks in others it Is still to be observed or better still a second Moonlight School Month in the spring is to follow the one in the fall. During the past summer at the var- Summer Schools and Teachers Institutes about teachers to teach in tho Moonlight schools of the state for three nights a week for four consecutive weeks. This was to be known as Moonlight School Month. The North Carolina Press Association promised to give publicity to the movement. The Jun- Order of American Mechanics, The Union and the Federation of Women's clubs all agreed to lend their support to the promotion of opening the schools for a month to adults who had been denied an early chance. No- was the month set aside by the State Board of Education for this pose and If November was not con- the time best suited to the community. A bulletin Adult Illiteracy and its Elimination was Issued by the Depart- of Education explaining the plan for Moonlight School Month and an account of the need for its work. This bulletin was followed by a manual to be used during moonlight school month containing twelve sons in reading, writing and tic This manual furnished the teach- and some who were not regular teachers have volunteered for the work, the twelve lessons to be taught The had no trouble, Is. said, In giving bond to guarantee their furnished the pupil his text book, appearance when the trial Is held. MISS SI SPEAKS AT SCHOOL E. L. Staff WINTERVILLE, DEC. Sue Kelly of Vance county, who Is travel- throughout the in the Woman's Missionary Society move- made an Interesting talk to the students of high school at the chapel exercises yesterday morning. At o'clock in the she lectured to the members of the Woman's Missionary Society at the Baptist church. Miss Kelly has been at work In the Central and Tar associations for several months, and about three weeks ago began work in the association. She is a good speaker, and a large crowd heard her here. 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. In some counties whore successful moon- light have been held the town and county plans have been worked out together, the town superintendent working with the county superintend- In other counties the town has had another, each working for moon- light schools. 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. Every town and every community should have a committee working on this problem for many who can barely read write would be glad of the additional Instruction to be derived from a night school. BE BEEN WELCOMED Plan For One School To Dis- place Four Is Pro- ENDORSED BY BOARD Older Resident Say This County Is Coming To Be An Example For The Others. township is the fifth town- ship in this county to vote bonds for good roads. 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. IRIS CHRISTMAS Checks For The Pensioners Arrived Here This Morning. AND GET A Mississippi woman Is the tor of a trunk for moving heavy bar- that also will turn them over and hold them In position for their con- tents to be withdrawn. 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. The development of powerful and reliable motors has enabled French to do their most fly- with monoplanes with a wing spread of not more than feet. If Election Is Carried The Total Amount Paid To Pen- Children Will Be Given Is Clerk More Individual At- of Court Now Has Said. Them. Mr. S. B. Underwood, county super- of schools, today gave out an interview on the proposed of schools in Beaver Ham town- ship, and the voting of a special tax for the support of a strong central school. Board of he said this progressive step on the part of the citizens of Beaver Dam township. Their petition, signed by the way, by a majority of the voters of the township, was endorsed by the board and the election ordered by the board of county commissioners with- out any hesitancy. This is perhaps the most Important educational move- yet undertaken in Pitt county. 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. The In- child, at best, gets very lit- of the teacher's time. the new plan this would be changed. 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.

I believe they will wish to take advantage of it. They will certainly have then one of the best rural schools to found any- where. course, there will be some op- position. Some perfectly honest will fight tho consolidation be- cause they do not wish to give up their neighborhood schools, and because of the small tax they will have to pay.

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.

Let the test be derived at by the voters of the states and in part and by an attempt to it over those who do not want it, by an act of Congress. Suffrage has not so many friends as it would seem.

THE SHORT SKIRT The short skirt is a bob-tailed garment which la a lineal descendant of the Island bathing suit, but has not been declared unconstitutional by the police force. Some short skirts are shorter than others, but all of them enable a man who is located two blocks away to tell that the own- feet could be whittled down several Inches without destroying the tout ensemble. Until the last year or two the short skirt was not worn by anybody but school-girls under twelve years of age. Somebody discovered, however, that a woman fifty-seven years old could be made to assume a very bland and kitten- aspect by donning a skirt chopped off just below the knees, and coyly revealing a. pair of imitation stilts. The result is, therefore, that the streets of our villages, towns and cities arc congested with feminine drumsticks, clad In high shoes and a bold, look. The short skirt illustrates bow rapidly the times do change. A few years ago. if a tall, bargain hunter had come down town and mingled with the gay throng in one of these skirts, the police would have thrown a rug around her shoulders and taken home In a closed carriage with the curtains lowered. II a mother caught her daughter marriageable age on the streets In a skirt that didn't flop around the ankles and collect more dust than a suction sweeper, she would give her something to remember that wouldn't wear off for several days. Nowadays, how- ever, nobody notices the short skirt except the street-corner crew, who are usually numerous enough answer all poses. There is a suspicion that the short skirt was Introduced at the behest of the shoe trust, which took advantage of the situation and worked several worth more of leather and green buttons Into the high shoe. Inasmuch as this kind of a shoe never fits anywhere except around the sole, the effect is a good deal like plunging a walking stick Into a pair of rubber boots. the short skirt come to stay, whether old-fashioned folks like it or not, for it enables women to walk as If they were real human beings.
