WOODSTOCK, VIRGINIA.

FRIDAY JANUARY 24, |908.
It is almost an assured fact
that Col. Wm. Jennings Bryan
could name the next democratic
president, if he could get far
enough from home.
Representative Champ Clark,
of Misouri, announced in the
House of Representives, that it
was the intention of the Demo?
cratic party to nominate William
Jennings Bryan at the Denver
Convention. The announcement
seemed to please some of the
democrats and some of the re?
publicans.
Led out of a San Francisco
saloon by his ear, Jim Jeffries
humbly left a stag party of
sporting mena few nights since,
quietly followed his better hali
out of the door, meekly climbing
into an auto and was driven to
their hotel. How the mighty
have fallen !?Alex. Gazette.
Gov. Yardaman, of Mississippi,
announces that he will be a
candidate for another term and
that he will become the editor of
a newspaper to advance his in?
terests. The Governor ison the
wrong track. He should know
that the average editor makes
more enemies in a month than he
can make friends in a year, and
this is because he tells, or is sup?
posed to tell, people the truth,
and this is just what many do
uot want to h? ar.?Alex. Gazette.

WOODSTOCK'
Last year four teachers were em?
ployed, with an average monthly en?
rolment ol 160; this year live teachers
are employed, with an enrolment
of 176.
Last year the principal was pa;d
687.50 per month, the hi^rh school as?
sistant? io, and the enher teacher*
per mooth. This year the princi?
pal is paid 6100 per mooth, the high
school assistant 650, and the other
teachers *4o and j-io a mooth.*
This year the school ls more closely
traded, and drawing is taught in all
the grades under the supervision of a
drawing teacher.
The present building is an old resi?
dence, poorly lighted and heated, re iv
inconvenient and having only five
rooms, which are now crowded beyond
their capacity.
There is under erection, however, a
new building which will cost 612,000
and which will be completed next sum?
mer. It will be a modern eight-room
brick building, with proper lighting,
heating and ventilating arrangements.
It is now the desire of the trustees
to appoint seven teachers next session,
two in the high school and five in the
lower grades They hope also to in?
crease the enro ment to 250 bv closing
two rural schools near the town.
The Town Council this year raised
the school tax from 00 Cents to $1.00
on the hundred dollars.
Mr. Maphis is mistaken as to
the school tax in Woodstock.
Heretofore it has been but 30
cents on the hundred dollars, and
if the Town Council should in?
crease it to 100 cents, or 333^
per cent at one jump, it will al?
most lift the hair from the heads
of the taxpayers. From the re?
port it is evident that the cost of
the school has been greatly in?
creased. Whether they have
gone beyond the resources of the
town, and are now compelled to
greatly increase the taxes upon
the people to meet the increased
expenses, we are not informed.
It is however evident that the
debt of the town will be greatly
increased by the cost of the
school building, located just be?
yond the railroad track. The
building it is estimated will cost
SI2.000, Whether new lurniture
is included in this estimate, we
el , not know. $3,000 was given
the town "for the purchase of a
site and the erection of a new
s hool building" by the late N
B, Schmitt. J9$Q9 has been
borrowed from the State at 4 per
cent annual interest. The old
school building has been sold
which will probably yield a net
amount of 12,500 -leaving |3|a
500 to be raised, The town, as
we understand the law. cannot
borrow the money and issue
bonds without a vote of the tax?
payer and it is doubtful wheth?
er the tax payers wouU vote in
favor of such proposition, on ac?
count of the location of the
building.
This being the case, the only
plan it seems would be a heavy
increase of tax upon the town.
Mr. Maphis says that it is pro?
posed to inc-rvuso the number of
teachers from live to seven.
This of course will further in?
crease the cost.
It will be remembered that the
limit of taxation was extended
some vears ago for a specified
purpose, when it was expected
that there would be a change in
the Northern boundary of the
town and a large manufactory
established. As this did not ma?
terialize the old limit was not
exceeded.
The town wants a good school
but care must be exercised lest '
by extravagant expenditures, '
suspension become necessary. 1J
