Tate, met Monday. Ink- addition to ap portioning the school fund the fol lowing business transacted: . '.Two school districts, Nos 4 and 5, " in Tattorson township, woro consoli : dated and a new 2-room house or- dred. In Thompson township dis tricts Nos. 1, 2 and 5 were consoli dated and two new 2-room buildings .ordered. In Burlington township two new 2-room houses were ordered ,! -ia No. 2 East and in No. 4 South Jiumngton. The Board ordered to be sold eight old buildings 3 in ' Burlington, 2 ia Patterson and 3 in Thompson. Tho apportionment was made at 82.30 por ' capita, and I he entire fund amounted to 130,111.18. Each school, both white and colored, was provided funds for a four months school. Dr. W. S. Long, County Supt., had. the apportionment calculated and showed the Board how much a a cacn scnooi wouia require lor a . font months term, and his estimate . was adopted by the Board. .' It is learned from Dr. Long that the, local tax districts, Burlington and Graham not included, pay this year $4571.27, and that tha total school fund for this year aggregates about 1 50,000, notwithstanding the Board has only received f 750 from the Dispensary since the 30th of June last To those who hare kept them selves informed about the education al affairs of the county, the big in- crease of the educational fund is a revelation, as only a few years ago the fund was as small as $1200. But the figures show that Alamance is going forward in education as well as along other lines.

Jan., 4, 1909, The !ut of Miss Ethel R'o-6 velr, the second daughter of the Pres ident took place at the White lluse Tues.lay evening. The form of en tertuiitiLent selected by Mrs. Roose velt for the coming out of hor young d iiitih'cr was the same s that for Alice, now Mr?. Loneworih, a "small dancs" for which five liundrcd in vitations had been '-sued, and for everyinvitation ther were probably more than five heart i teaks among the girls who had longed in vnio for the coveted piece of card board. The youngor fmart stt is made and limit ed for the winter by tho debut of Mws Koo-cvelt since nn invitation to the dance is the hall mark by which hose who are wilhin the magic cir cle are marked (iff from those wh are without. The dance was a bril- iant affair; a beautiful selling, pret ty girls in the most gorgeous of directuire gowns and young officers n gay uniforms combining to m:ke the picture. The East room so well known to tourists from all over the country was Used for Jancing and the supper was served in the lower corridor which was one of the addi tions to the breathing space of the White House when the alterations were tmde a few years ago. Miss Ethel, who is far from being a beauty was nevertheless engaging in a girl ish, wholeiome way an 1 thu Pres ent who must by thU time have become accustomed to boing ooly a sile issue at rainy of the Wtiite House affairs was properly retiring. n his offices in a fur end of the uilding he reigns suprema, wheth er it be a Cabinet meeting or a gath ering of Senators or foieign diplo mats but he has so often had to play secondary part in the East room where Mrs. Longworth made her ebut and was later married, and where his younger daughter has now made her bow to the world of fash- n, and in many musical affairs of Mrs. Hoosevelt that he has an sir of feeling himself enmetiiing of a sup ernumerary when he appears there. Mrs. Roosevelt is looking worn and tired this winter and her close friends are saying that she does not regret that she is soon to retire. A few years ago ebe said quite frankly that she liked her job but it is be lieved no. v that she is looking tor wark to her proposed trip to Europe this spring where she will spend a year beforo returning to this coun try. When Alice Longworth was Ethel's age she was considered too much ol a hoyden to be trusted with a trip to Europe end presentation at the courts there hut her younger sister has a quieter disposition- and has had the advantage of a longer period before the public and at the home in the While House. 8he will be presented at several European courls and U to hve all the advan tages and delights of contact with the highest society in the Capitals. Mrs. Roosevelt has not beet) abroad since ber marriage which occurred in London and she must be come thing more than a human if the con rust between h r position at t hat time when she bad gone abroad' to take a place as governess in a family with that in which she will find her self when she will become the guest of kings does not give her some thrills. As the calendar yea- closes it is brought boms to the Treasury De pertinent and to Congress that there hss been s serious shrinkage of the rations! purse. Since the fiscal year began on the first of July the nation hss spent sixty fire millions dollars mors than It has collected and this is the showing for only six months of the year. The Secretary of the Treasury estimates that the Isfldency will be one hundred and fourteen millions for the entire fiscal year. Last yasr ibis deacit amount d to only fifty eight millions. But from a financial point of view the worst is not told in these deficits. Congress is nerved to an expensive program. No mitler how hard the watch dogs of the .Treasury in the (louse and in tbe Se iate may bay and growl and show their teeth a raid is determined upon, snd appro pnation Itiiln are bound to swell and it. deed it wilt be Ult economy to postpone Uirrraod harbr improve menls, the canalisation recommend ed by the PrmiJent, and by the convention on water transportation recently held in Washington. Thess and other national enterprises will cost milium, perhaps billions, They corns nigh but we must nave them. Tbey are economical necessities a.id it is assy to figure that they will re turn the country a splendid interest oo tbe investment. Tbe Govern men I will simply have to resort to other soarres of taxation to raise tuods for tbsH improvements. A tax on hank checks and on deeds conveying real estate, on coffee and tea will easily fill the national ex chequer and if to tbi sitoald be add ed as was tbe tax daring the Span iah war of a dollar a barrel on ber tbe nation will bars enough to im prove the wtersys aoJ the roads, to incrse the army and nary and to carry on without deficit the mul tiferious affairs of government. There is evident anxiety at the White House with reference to the repoited conditions on the Istamus. It has been rumored for some time that the Galun dam is a failure and although these rumors have been repeatedly denied they persist and the fact that the President has asked the President elect to go to the Isth mus, putting at his disposal two warships and appointing six distin guished civil engineers to accom pany him is ground for foreboding with many in reference to the final auccess of this stupendous under taking. Prohlb. Fight In Tennessee. Nashville, Tenn , Jn. 4. The Tnne8e legislature meets this year with every indication that tbe fight for Statewide prohibition will be the chief issue of the session. Both sides have lined up for the fray and the struggle undoubtedly will be a bitter one. Though large sections of the State are now "dry" the prohibition ele ment declares that it will not rest until Tennessee has joined the ranks of Georgia, Mississippi, North Caro lina and other States in prohibiting the liquor traffic entirely. The Pendleton law on the statute books gives local option to cities of less than 100,000 inhabitants. The four-mile law ia practically prohibi tive in operated territory. The Democratic parly platform pledges ibi party to take no "backward steps" in liquor organization, but to extend and apply those laws to all portions of tbe State not now em braced in their operation whenever the people of the communities to be affected thereby give their consent.

Fuller, livingon Mill St., Graham, says: I, have used Doan's Kidney Pills with bightly satisfactory results, and am pleased to recommend them to other suffer ers. For some time before they were brought to my notice I suffer ed severely from dull headaches ac companied by severe pains through the small of mv back. I heard Doan's Kidney Pills highly epok- n of on so many occasions that at last I procured a box at Thompson's drug store, They banished the trouble in a short time, and it gives me pleasure to state ,tbat I have never bad a return."

Mayo's residence is a storage room in which tools and farm implements are kept. If is supposed that the little boy wanted to get something out of this building and was trying to enter by raising I a heavy window from the outside, and as he was about to climb through tbe window it fell on his neck. When the boy was found he was dead with his neck broken. It is a distressing accident. A Horrible Hold-Up.
