Relief ol The Anlander Graded I
School Controversy.
(Continued from |>age U
to, why should tlie Wi he with
held and our faults publicly mag
nified! Is it not true that one
cannot fool All the people all the
while* I? it not true that those
who read upon the lines, read also
Imtween them! Let ua be sure
that our sins will find us out, that
truth crushed to earth will rise
again, that error wounded must
writhe in pain and die amid its
worshipers." We admit that by
the mere force of numbers we Imd
been driven to the stake and the
aandle securely girded on. Doubt
less there were some who antici
a lifelong and happy ride, but it
so happened? that just before they
did-they didn't. The other fel
low has whirled into the saddle
and is now quietly resting. Now
that, by the hand of providence,
these narrow minded, selfish men
to which you refer have regained
their liberty. They will make
haste to establish the fact that the.\
have in store for those 82 children
something more substantial than
the criticism so publicly and lav
ishly bestowed upon them, their
parents and friends.
We are gla^ that your corres
pondent has been kind enough to
mention the conveyance wagons.
According to his statement there
are 86 children in district No. 6.
Just before the legislature con
vened, or soou thereafter, ope of
those wagons came out to assist !
our 86 children over the mud to
school. This outfit consisting of
one very thin, little, blind horse, I
for which the driver says lie paid
the handsome sum of I25.0C and
une small unseated wagon box
?bout 12 inches br more high. Ngw
Mr. Editor: If you have .never
had the pleasure of seeing one poor
little blind horae tugging off U>
school with 86 fat children, you
?urely have missed a treat. You
just ought to have come over and
helped us to enjoy the scene.
However, when the Graded
School representatives, returned
from Raleigh and reported that
our bill asking for elimination had
failed, this poor little blind horse
immediately lost his job. our doom
was then presumed to be sealed,
and our children that had been
the object of such tender care dur-;
ing the first days of the legislature (
of course no longer needed assist-1
?nee. But these attentions were
withdrawn just a little too soon.
Oyr bill was not really dead, it
was only sleeping and rose again
to the great discomfort of those
who thought they had buried it.

in a becoming way. In the center of
tbe banquet table was a brides
cake covered with twelve candles
with which the young people tried
their fortune. .*
As midiygbt approached and the

well wishes and continued har
mony to Mr. and Mrs. .Smith with
a heartfelt gladness for a pleasant
evening speut and all voted Mr.

ant to take and doea not disturb the stomach.

cause nervousness nor ringing in the head. Try
it the next time you.need Quinine for any pur
pose. Ask for frounce original package. The
name PKUUUQtE ia blown in botUcTlS cents
Il)AR p^QPHESIES
As Affecting the Farmer
1 Raise more horses and mules. Exports for both military
and industrial use are expected to be largely increased.
2 Raise more livestock of all kinds. Exports of beef cat
tle and of purebred cows for the dairy will increase. i
3 Raise more poultry. Exports of cattle will shorten the j
home beef supply, increasing the price of meat, and ,
stimulating the demand for eggs and poultry. i
4 Export of Corn, Wheat, Rice and Hay will ho largely
increased. i
5 The price of all staple agricultural products will be
largely increased, except cotton. No change in the
price of tobacco.
MORAL
Raise More livstock in 1915 and 916.
Sow grain and hay for 1915; especially corn, wheat and
rice.
Do not increase the tobacco acreage, and do reduce the
cotton acreage.
Begin this spring a regular system of crop rotation with
a good diversification of products, thus forever preventing a
repetition of 1914.
