During the first twelve days in this month, up to last Satur day night, forty-three gallons of whiskey were received at the ex press office at this- place for thir ty-one persons.

Several thousand oak cross- ties have been hauled to this place and other points on the railroad between here and Mon cure during the past few weeks.

This is the second attempt he made to kill himself. A short vhile ago, since being taken to "he hospital, the unfortunate nan tried to take his life by cut-! ing his throat with a wire hoop jorn trom a bucket, but dia not succeed. .- ' Prizes for Farmers. As mentioned by us in a recent issue the business men of this olace have decided to offer a num ber of prizes to our farmers for quality and quantity of corn and sotton grown .by them this sea son, so as to encourage a more mtensive system of farming that our county may be generally ben efited by the extra efforts put forth by them in thus demon strating the possibilities of our farming lands. In this way by stimulating our enterprising farmers to greater care and efforts than usual in soil preparation, fertilization and general fending their crops it is hoped to attract the attention of outsiders and induce other farm ers to come into our midst and help cultivate the large area of land which is now untended Mr. E. M. Fearrington, our coun ty farm demonstrator, it will be recalled, met with the business mea of Pittsboro three weeks ago and suggested that prizes be given by them, as above set forth. Accordingly we are au thorized to announce that the following prizes will be awarded next fall: W. L. London & Son offer $20 in gold to the farmer in Centre, Hadley, Hickory ML, Baldwin, Oakland, Haw River or New Hope townships who makes the largest average yield of cotton per acre, not less than 10 acres to be cultivated. , The Bank of Pittsboro offers 10 in gold to the farmer in the above townships making the largest average yield per acre in corn, not less than 10 acres to be cultivated. The Chatham Oil and Fertili zer Co. offers one ton of their "Pride of Chatham" 8-3-3 fertil izer (worth $25) to that farmer of Chatham county who makes the largest yield of cotton on a measured acre using any of their brands of fertilizer in its produc tion. Mr. James H. Kidder offers a prize of $20 to the farmer in Cen tre township, who carrying out the government's instructions in scientific farming, makes the greatest yield of corn on one measured acre, and a prize of $5 to the second best yield. Mr. Jas. L Griffin will give $10 to the farmer in Chatham coun ty who makes, the greatest aver age yield of cotton per acre :n his entire crop, not less than 5 acres to be cultivated. J. J. Johnson & Son offer a 14 tooth cultivator to the farmer in Centre township who raises the 5 best ears of seed corn. R. R Hayes will give $5 to the farmer in Centre, Hickory ML, Oakland, Hw River, New Hope, Hadley or Baldwin townships who makes the greatest average yield of corn per acre on his en tire crop, not less than 5 acres to be cultivated. John W. Johnson offers $5 to the one-horse farmer in Chatham who makes the largest yield of cotton this year, H. M. London offers $5 to the one-horse farmer in Chatham who makes the largest yield of corn this year. Atwater & .Lambetn oiter a half ton of "Coon Brand" corn guano for the largest yield of corn on one measured acre raised jby any farmer in Baldwin town ship. ' Ail persons who expect to com pete for any of the above prizes Our countymen at Moncure narrowly escaped being among the many victims of the States Trust Company, which had re cently attracted much public at ten by reason of the fraudulent efforts of its officers to establish ban ks at several small towns in : this State. Three of the promo ters in this fraudulent scheme i have been arrested and put in jail and diligent search is being made for others. A few weeks ago two of these promoters came to Moncure and made glowing representations for the purpose of inducing the business men of that town to !take stock in the. States "Trust Company and establish a bank at Moncure. At first a few were about to bite at the bait offered, but on further consideration they decided very prudently not to in vest in the proposed scheme, and thus escaped the fate that was met by many' at other places who I became t he victims of the swin dlers. Since the arrest of some of the swindlers it was found out that the State9 Trust Company had no money and its office was a back room in an old shack, in an obscure part of Wilmington. Our people cannot be too cautious in listening to the proposals ot strangers who are so of ten prowl- j lrtg about the co mtry seeding whom they may devour.'' New School Laws. Editor of The Record: At the recent session of . the General Assembly there-was much more school legislation en acted than at any other session in recent years, much of which was very important. The most important is the law providing for an elementary school term of -six months in every district in the State. - This act requires that there be set aside annually five cents of the State levy in addition to the twenty cents .now levied for schools, as a State equalizing school fund to lengthen the school term to six months, or as near to that length of term as possible. This fund can be used only to pay teachers salaries. No county is entitled to anv part of this eaualizing fund un til it first" provides for a four months' school " term by ? special levy, if necessary, in every dis trict in the county, but this spa- - 1 - -w ciai levy must in no case exceed 15 cents on the $100 valuation of property. Local tax districts are allowed to reduce the rate of their levy in proportion to the amount re ceived from the equalizing fund, but they must not reduce it so as to shorten the term of school be low what it is now. This act makes a direct State appropria tion of $250,000 to be distributed hjr the State Board of Education to the various counties on the ba sis of school population. This appropriation is made up of the $100,000, heretofore used to bring up weak counties to a four months' term, and the $125,- 000 heretofore distributed to the various counties according to population, and the other $25,000 is an additional appropriation made by the last Legislature. maki ng i n :.ll $250, 000. To make out the last two months of the six months term, or to approximate it as nearly as possible, every county must look to its part of the $250,000 and to the increased State levy tax. Heretofore Chatham county has received upon an average $2,500 annually from the State to help it make out a four months' term. Now it must provide a four months' term without this State aid from dog tax, special county levy, &c. The compul sory attendance law requires all children between the ages of 8 and 12 years to attend school for four months in each year, with ample provisions for exemptions. 1 he convicted violator of this law is guilty of a misdemeanor, ancHs to be fined not less than $5 nor more than $25 and costs, or imprisoned. The county board of education shall appoint attendance officers to enforce the law, and they shall act as census-takers and record keepers. Section 4145 has been so amend ed as to require the county board of education to appoint three committeemen in each district, one for a term of three years, one for a term of two years and one for a term of one year, and their successors each for a term of three years. Section 41G1 requires all appli cations for positions as teachers to be filed with the county su perintendent of public instruc tion, and that the county board of education shall fix a day in each township for electing teach ers, at which time the commit tees of all the various districts are to meet with the county su perintendent of public, instruc tion to eleet the teachers for all the schools of the township. The law now requires that no assistant teacher can be employ ed in any school in the county until the average daily attend ance reaches forty, and that the assistant teacher may be dis missed when the average daily attendance of any school for four consecutive i weeks falls below forty. You see that these new laws and these changes in the law add much new machinery to the pub lie school system and materially increase the work to be done by the county board of education and the county superintendent of public instruction.

Coughs and colds, when neglected, always lead to serious trouble of the lungs. The wisest thing to do when you have a cold that troubles you ia to set a bottle of Dr. King's New Discovery. You will get relief from the first dose, and finally the cough will disappear. O. II. Brown, of Muscadrne, Ala., writes: "My wife was down in bed with an obstinate cough, andI hon estly believe had it not been for Dr. King's New Discovery, she wculd not be living today."
