Dr. J. H. Mitchell, chairman of the
board, adopted a critical attitude to
ward! the budget and contended for
itfore information about school ad
ministration and expenses in the
county. He wanted the budget item
ised by districts; he also wanted to
know an explanation of the distribu
tion of the State's equalisation fund
for schools. Mr. Britton was reticent
.on the latter matter, but answered
the other by inviting Doctor's atten
tion to the budget which was itemis
ed. All this was beside the actual
business at hand, as the matter was
deferred.
Upon motion of E. H. Eure of
Winton, the settlement of 1922 taxes
was postponed ^or another thirty
days. The tax collectors were
authorized to withold advertisements
and levies on property within their
townships until first Monday in July.
# The commissioners almost balked on
this proposition; but the motion /A
nally prevailed without a dissenting
vote. Something was said about the
county borowing money, while it in-1
dulged the taxpayers without exact-1
ing any interest or penalty. How-i
ever, mercy and leniency prevailed,!
as it is wont to do when levying time
comes around.

MANY TRESPASSERS *
KILLED ON RAILROADS *
?
Death overtook 129 person* *
while trespassing on the proper- *
ty of the Southern Railway Sys- *
tem during 1922. *
While walking on traelu, 90 *
trespassers were killed and 62 *
injured, 89 were killed while *
stealing rides or "hopping" *
trans, and 18 were injured in *
miscellaneous accidents. *
According to a preliminary re- *
port of the Interstate Commerce *
Commission, 2,431 trespassers *
were killed and 2,846 injured on *
the railways of the United States *
in 1922. Even this heavy sacri- *
flee of life and limb to careless- *
ness is an improvement oyer past *
years. In the fifteen-year period *
from 1901 to 1915, deaths and *
injuries to trespassers on Ameri- !
can railways averaged 10,736 *
per year. *
As a part of its effort to dis- *
courage trespassing on its prop- *
erty, the Southern is enlisting *
the aid of school teachers in *
pointing out to children the *
danger of this practice. A very *
large proportion of the trespas- *
sera killed and injured have been *
school children. Wage earners, *
walking to and from their work *
on tracks, have also contributed *
a large proportion. *
The popular impression that a *
large percentage of the trespass- *
ers killed on railways are tramps *
is shown to be entirely erroneous *
by figures compiled by the South- *
ern from its records running *
over a period of qine years. *
CHURCH SOCIAL WITH

The most memorable church supper

the church supper is one ot the annual

that, however, the supper enjoys a big
reputation. And when the last one

planned to be on hand.
When the farmers began driving la,
ihortly after dark, they were amased
ipoa coming In sight ot the church to
perceive a blase of light pouring dut et

the churchyard a little gasoline en
tine was chugging away, and Inside,
(Upended from various points about

I Drink Water If
Kidneys Bother
Take a Tablespoonful of Salto if
Back Pain* or Bladder la
Irritated
Flush your kidneys by drinking a quart
of water each day, also take salts occa
sionally, says a noted authority, who
tells us that too much rich food forms
acids which almost paralyze the kidneys
in their efforts to expel it from the
blood. They become sluggish and
weaken; then you may suffer with a
dull misery in the kidney region. Sharp
pains in the back or sick headache, dizzi
ness, your stomach sours, tongue it
coated, and when the weather is had
you have rheumatic twinges/ .The urine
gets cloudy, full of sediment the chan
nels often get sore and irritated, oblig
ing you to seek relief two or three
times during the night.
To help neutralize these irritating
acids; to help cleanse the kidneys and
flush off the body's urinous waste, get
four ounces of Jad Salts, from any phar
macy here. Take a tablespoonful m a
glass of' water before breakfast for a
tew days, and your kidneys may then
act fine. This famous salts is made from
the acid of grapes and lemon juice, com
bined with lithia; and has been used for
years to help flush and stimulate, slug
gish kidneys; also to neutralize the'acids
in the system so they no longer irritate,
thus often relieving bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; can not in
jure and makes a delightful efferyes
cent lithla-water drink. By all means
have your physician examine your kid
