The State Highway Commission li
doing spme very much needed work
on the road to Franklinton.
Unless there is more opposition than
Is In sight at present the - primary
Tuesday will be a one-Bided affair. f
ItB a pity the Town can't build the
sidewalk on the West side of Main
street from the bridge to Perry street.
The action of the Board of County
Commissioners in replacing the old
wood fence around the jail with a nice
wir? fence is commendable.
The fact that there were no cases
on docket for the Recorder's Court
Monday lookB as if the law breakers
are fighting shy ot Judge Beam.
Information reached L<ouisburg yes
terday morning was to the effect that
the storm Wednesday evening wrecked
over a hundred bouses In Wendell
and did other damage.
_,The present officials ot the town
have done well with the tasks they
have had. However if there are those
who think new officials should be
elected they wil! have an opportunity
of doing so on Tuesday.
It ha3 been suggested that either of
the following gentlemen would make
most excellent city officials: Dr. H.
G. Perry, A. W. Person. W. E. White,
F. A. Roth, J. C. Tucker, F. J. Beasley,
L. Kline, J. 8. Howell, Q. S. Leonard.

Programs For Locals.
In the tentative programs for the
local units the State Education Asso
ciation will lrst of all try to pro
vide meetings for every local which
will help give the teacher information
about the school systdta In the State,
and through the teachers, to ?et the
Information to the public. These sug
gested progams will be built around
the geteral. theme "DrvldenB on our
Educational adwancenientetaqlnetaoin
Educational Investment."
The program for the first meeting
will be devoted to "What Have We In
vested" and this will be discussed or
presented unfer the headings "The
Slates Part," "The County's Part," and
"The Community's Part."/
The second meeting or- the locals
will center Mound the study of what
returns are coming from this invest
ment in increased enrollment, increa
sed illiteracy, standings shown by tests
and Measurements and other things
in which the measure -or an education
al investment is shown.
The third general meeting will be
devoted to a further study of whether
or not these dividends or returns are
commensui a te with the investment
and how they may be bettered.
At all of these meetings there will
be discussions or ways and means of
presenting the findings or results of
these study's to the public In order
that those who pay the bills m&y be
ir formed of what their school system
is doing with the money Invested.
From these general Ideas the -com
mittee will work out the details of
these studies to be conducted by the
Education Association during the
coming year.
In addition to the program of work
for the locals, or the teachers, the
committee, also adopted the general
Idea that the Education Association
should take over and help develop
the observance of certain days during
the school year. The programs for
<bese days, or for thepubUcmeetings
that may be held in the school room
Friday afternoon or some evening,
will bo worked out by the Association
in co-operaton with various state or
ganizations, and furnished every local
unit in the State. ? News and Obser

Popular B'wlon Lady Says Fru&itone
lias 1'roren A Uodsend to Hec
It is always Interesting to Uatfb
to the statements of our frlend8,,and
especially when you know they are
sincere and honest la what they aay.
Added Interest Is created in a Mate
ment coming mfrom one, whtf
spent a lifetime in Boston, where she
Is well known socially.
Such a person Is Annie Stewart,
who resides In Boston and 1b posses
sed of the respect and confidence
of her associates, and Is willing tor
anyone to call on her to verify, the
following signed testimonial.
[ "I have sulfered with stomach
trouble for the past seven years. It
took the form of indigestion and dys
pepsia. I had dlizy spells and head
aches, and after I ate a little tood it
would ferment and cause gas to torm
In my stomach. I had pains all over
my body and was chronically consti
pated. My liver was torpM and I felt
miserable. I had doctored, and had
been in the hospital, but received no
permanent relief. I was ao nervous
and restless that at night I could scarce
ly sleep. The gas, pressing under my
l:eart, caused palpitation, and when
I arose in the morning I was just as
tired as when I retired. About two
weeks ago I began to take Prunltone,
and I can truthfully state that it. has
done wonders in my case. I am feeling
like a new woman, and can eat any
kind of food. I sleep the'nlght through
and have no more aches or pains; In
fact, it has cured me, and I am recom
mending it to all my friends/ as it
has been a Godsend to me."
L. E. Scoggln sell and guarantee
Prunitone.
There are numerous symptoms of
this trouble that Prunitotie can r*
lieve. In fact, any of the following
may denote affections of the stomsch:
Indigestion, dyspepsia, belching of
wind, bad breath, sick. throbbing head
ache, poor circulation, night sweats,
that tired feeling, costivenoss, coated
tongue or a poor compexlon.
Caution: As Prunltone is recom
mended as a flesh builder, those not
wishing to increase their weight 15
pounds or more, should not take It
continuously. t?
