Jl IHiK COOK ON BAD BOYS V" The boy who attacks a teacher la la a amall way a criminal, and pun * lahment should be meted out to him In a manner never-to-be-forgotten. Judge Charles M. Cook says: "Ton had aa well undertake to break a herd of boll yearlings with ?mall twine In the place of rope, aa to try to control many hjurd headed boya In the public schools, white at well aa the negro, without allowing { the teacher to uae the lash." Aa an exchange says. so we agree: j "The alckly sentiment that haa gain ed currency of \\te 4hat no teacher ahould ever admin Inter corporal I punlahment. haa wrecked the flle . clpllne In many a school." I . Ifc the matter of discipline, the present system of training teachers is wtong In this state. The folly of trying to control boys . or girls, either, by lore has been tested and found to be a failure. Now it is time to return to the proper method and our schools . will not be breed-! lng places for Insubordination and pernicious conduct. Judge Cook lias the right view and teachers, in the sfato will he glad to barb so strong a?d advo , v cate.?Williamson Enterprise. Roosevelt's praise of Tftft at Sara toga does not sound like he intend ed to run. against him in two years. A local minister aaya tl^t "some ? churcbes*go about selecting a pastor like they would a horse." And some people select some mighty poor horses 1 '"-v 7 ? ? < ? .

The article declared that la past campaigns when Editor Daniels and I his following had been defeated in primaries, as they believed, through fraud, they had voted the tlchet in the election, remaining loyal, but that now. with no right to charge' fraud, the Jones faction hod been defeated and the Impending bolt wna the result. v '* -*Vr Acewaed tUUtbr of I*Jn?.

'Senator Jones 'nays of the encoun ter: I "1 walked up to Daniels and told him I was tired of his continuous lying on father and myself. He rais ed his hsnd and I struck him in |the face. We clinched and I struck jhim three or four times and he fell. I. got on him but did not strike him |while he was down. At this mo |ment someone separated us but I | don't know who it waa. 1 felt that Daniels had slandered me and my father long enough, and when I read in this morning's paper the article jpublishod by him, and knowing that neither of us had any connection whatsoever with the meeting held |here today,' and knowing his state ment waa a lie and intended to In jure me in the eyea of the commun ity I acted as I did. I walked im ] mediately to the pqlice Justice's |court and surrendered." Mr. Daniel*' Statements Says Mr. Daniels: | "Jones was coming from tho jTuckor Building Pl^srmacy towards tho postoflice.

All , Is a mere pittance in ?a health appropriation, i cents from the average But oh. the horror of that word tax! is It more horrible than the unnecessary death of a helpley woman? So far. North Carolina manhood, speaking through their representa tives, has seen flit to make so small a public-health appropriation that our 8tate, which is fourteenth in population, stands about thirty In her patyic-health appropriation. At present we sre spending only six mills per capita, which means a tax of only one-fourth of a cent on ev ery one hundred dollars worth of the State's property. Our appro priation to the State Sanitorlum for the treatment of Tuberculosis Is so small that Is is necessary for the few who enter to pay a dollar ta day for treatment.
