CAROLINA PEOPLE TELL WONDERFUL " EFFECTS OF MAYR STOMACH REMEDY Sufferer Find Swift Relief From Us of This Remarkable Treatment. Stomach sufferers in the Southeast) and, in fact, all over the country, hav found remarkable and efficient results from the use of Mayr's Wonderful Stomach Remedy. Many have taken this remedy and tell today of the benefits they receiv ed. Its effects come quickly the first dose convinces. Here is whet two Carolina folks have written: W. R. DAVENPORT, Parker, N. C. ''For years I have suffered from a disease which puzzled doctors. I hearo of your remedy and one bottle gave me relief. Your full treatment has about cured me." J. E. PARKER, Winston Salem, N; C. "I am satisfied through, personal use of the powers of your remedy. You have saved my life." These statements come from letters among thousands. This remedy is - PACIFIC INTERNATIONAL EXPOSITION THAT SYMBOLIZES THE BUILDING OF THE PANAMA CANAL j GIVING A LIFT (Monroe Journal.) Put on your thinking cap and see if you can remember the time, or have ever read of any time in which there were so many efforts being made to help folks along in life. We don't mean charity, or the giving of alms, though that is even betier than ever before, but we refer to the multiply ing efforts of individuals, societies and organizations that are at work, not to hand down something to somebody as a gift, but to make it possible for move people to learn better how to help themselves into becoming more efficient workers and to lead more full and normal lives. The day of the skinflint and the selfish man has pass ed. The literature of the day is preg nant with timely and valuable inform ation. The learing of the scholars, the inventions of the scientists, the dis coveries of the investigators, the ma chinery of the government, the money and brains of private parties, the pro fessors of the schools, the directors of countless societies and agencies, the laboratories of the chemists, are all today at the disposal of the average man, and we are face to face with the valuable and significant, fact that an entire population is going to school every day. We used to hear them sr.y, "I had no chance when I was growing up", but there will be little need long er for any one to make this complaint There are still some, who through one misfortune or another, still have lit tie chance, but even this will not be true long. Take a country paper like The Journal, and there is never an is sue that is not full of something valu able, suggestive, and intended to help somebody to become more efficient and useful. The average man is coming into his own. It is his day. But he must realize that all help on earth cannot help the man who will not help himself. Outside help is only an aid to self-help. The thing is still up to the individual. But the point is that his chances of making good are about a thousands times better than they used to be. known and used throughout the Unit ed States. It has a record of results and proof. Mayr's Wonderful Stomach Remedy clears the digestive tract of mucoid accretions and poisonous matter, h brings swift relief to sufferers from ailments of the stomach, liver ana bowels. Many declare it has saver' them from dangerous operations and many are sure it has saved their lives. We want all people who hav chronic stomach trouble or constipa tion, no matter of how long standing, to try one dose of Mayr's Wonderful Stomach Remedy one dose will con vince you. This is the medicine 8" many of our people have been tp with surprising results.

CHARLOTTE SCHOOL We notice in The Courier, A poem of Lena's Grove'school, And of the model pupils, Who never broke a rule. Our school here at Charlotte We are not quite so good. But try to do the best we can, As all schools should. But will say right here, When we do break a rule, We are sure to be punished, Or placed on the "stool". We all love our teacher, Ami are sure he loves his scholars, And works for their good, isot merely the dollars. Our school is not large, Nor yet very small. In a very few words I'll tell you about all. There's Agnes and Ethel, The two largest girls Who think so much of their looks, Especially the curls. There's Worth, Ross, and Clyde, The grown up boys, ; Who try to be manly; But make a lot of noise. Myrtle goes to school regular, And so does Kate But the trouble with them, They are so often late. There are some of the boys Who dearly like hunting: Such as Winfred, Fred And Colvin Butning. Of the ones that study best It is hard to tell: ' ; It may be Lena Or it may be Annabel. Siromi and Exie, and Little black-eyed Bud Go nearly every day In spite of the mud. 1 ' There are some little boys Who always tell the truth; Thev are Floyd, Wade, Henry, And little Ervin Routh. The most mischievous "kiddy" We have in school, As every one knows, Is Master Guy Poole. Fay is the best scholar, to her age, you know; And another good scholar, Is Mattie Prevo. There are two little boys I'm sorry to say, That don't like to go much; Can you guess ? Glen and Ray. Then there is Joe and Glenn Dougan, Who are not very fast, But they always stick To the very last. There are' Clyde, Wade, Paul, And Agnes Nance, Who oo very well Considering their chance. The sweetest little girl That any could name. I'm sure you'll agree Is little same McCain. Our school is now out And all is contentment. We spent the last day At the County Commencement.

NORTH CAROLINA, A NATION AL FEEDER (From University News Letter.) At a recent banquet of the North Carolina Society of Washington, D C, Mr. T. I). Gold, Jr., brought forth certain very significant facts about the present abode of native North Carolinians. He referred to the con tribution of North Carolina to the political business, religious, scientific, and educational life of the United States. To 21 states in the Union we have furnished 79 Congressmen and Senators, three Presidents, two Vice-presidents, five presidents pro tern, of the Senate, eight members of the Cabinet, five secretaries of the Navy, two secretaries of the Interior, and one of Agriculture. In the religious world are bishops Polk of Louisiana, Davis of South Carolina, and Fitzgerald of Texas; Dr. Smith of Louisville, Drs. Dixon and Broughton of London, Hawkes, Greene and Paine of Mississippi; and Beckwith of Georgia. To the educational world North Carolina has contributed such men as Dr. H. H. Home, of New York Uni versity; Dr. Elliott, of John Hopkins; and Dr. Charles Hughs Johnston, of the University of Illinois. Virginia's Toll To the sister state of Virginia we have contributed, Dr. E. A. Alderman, Dr. Faul Barringer, Dr. W. W. Moore, Dr. Henry L. Smith, Dr. C. A. Smith, Mr. Herbert W. Jackson, Mr. Henry E. Litchford, Mr. Edmund Strudwick, Mr. T. S. Mulford, and Mr. F. H. Roy- ster. As Mr. Gold put it, to be any- body in Virginia you have to belong to either the F. F. Vs. or the N. C. O's., which being interpreted means, the First Families of Virginia or the North Carolina Oligarchy. Nor does this record stop short of . tt. , i t such names as those oi the great na- tional figures, Dr. Joseph Holmes, Dr. P. P. Claxton, and Dr. Hannis Taylor. Tn tho liVfe nf ciw.v, grr. r mighty names, North Carolina begins to feel her oats and step high. She may well feel that she has contributed much to the welfare of the Union and of individual states. She has sent from her borders noble sons who have nobly lived and mightily wrought. Is it entirely a matter for self-congratulation? Why have these great figures left their home State to do their life's work ? Has North Carolina done all she could to keep them within her borders ? Had she justly and amp ly rewarded the statesmen who have honestly, fearlessly, and consistently stood for the best in her civil life? Has she and her citizenry stood shoul der to shoulder and presented a solid front in the war against evil and wickedness? Has she placed her abundant resources easily and freely at the disposal of her workers in the educational field? Has she offered the fullest opportunity to the upbuild ing of industrial enterprises and cen ters, that her sons might find outlet here at home for their abilities as administrative and executive leaders ? North Carolina has not developed her industrial, mineral, agricultural, educational, moral, and religious re sources in reasonable measure. She has literally sent from her borders many sons who have had ambition, energy, and progressive ideas. She has been proud of her conservatism and she has been paying a penalty for it by having other states reap the benefit of the vigor, vitality, and abounding energy of her famous sons. Caution, deliberation, watchfulness, prudence are all worthy and manly virtues; but when these masterly traits of life in an individual or in a State become predominantly the rul ing order of things, stagnation begins, If a state or an individual fails to roach out, experiment, explore, then development ceases, growth stops, dry rot sets in, and our sons move into other states and sections. Our Appalling Losses In the census year, 380,372 native born North Carolinias were living in other states of the Union. Our net loss in inter-state migra tion during the census period was 271,807. All told, in the history of the Na tion, says Mr. Gold, North Carolina has furnished to othe" states more than a million inhabitants; or nearly four millions, their descendants con sidered.

IJRAVI'ON CRAVEN Interesting Address by Dr. Brooks on One of Randolph's Most Distin guished Sons. Dr. E. C. Brooks, head of the edu cational department at Trinity, gave a very interesting lecture recently on "Braxton Craven and the First State Normal School." During the course of his speech, Dr. Brooks said "Braxton Craven was one of the most remarkable men of his generation. From the state of an or phan, destitute and homeless, he be came a great teacher, preacher, and educational leader. Having received tvvo years of training under Dr. Ne reus Mendenhall, of New Garden school, now Guilford College, he be gan at the age of 20, as assistant principal of Union institute, Randolph county. Rev. Brantly York was prin cipal of that institution. But two years later (1844) Craven became principal. The next six years of his life were spent in increasing his own scholarship, building up Union Insti tute academv. and studying the school svstems of Europe and the United States. In 1848 he organized his first normal training class in connection with Union Institute, and in the fol lowing year the teacher training de partment wes one of the features of his institution. "At that time there was no head to the public school system. In order therefore, to give some direction to the system he published an interest ing circular on common schools, say ing at the same time that he had col lected all the information that he could find on the subject in Europe and America. It was an interesting document that he issued in 1S49-50. He gave directions for building school houses, organizing schools, arrangin? subject matter, training teachers, and managing the internal affairs of the school room. In 1850 Craven began pub'isning , a teachers magazine called "The southern index, ana aimosi me en tire first volume was devoted to a discussion of the needs of the com- mon school system. In 1851 Union I Institute was converted into a normal college. In drawing the bill for a now charter Craven asked for btate ai(1 but Calvin H wiley and others fought that feature of the bill and it ' was finally defeated; but the legisla- ture did cnarter tne insiuuuon "Normal College" and gave it power to grant certificates to teach in the common schools of the State. In 1852 President Craven appealed to Govern or Swain, the president of the Univer sity, to throw his great influence in favor of establishing "one or more normal schools." The legislature in session that year amended the charter of Normal College, gave it the power to grant degrees, loaned it $10,000. and made the governor chairman of the board of trustees and the super intendent of public instruction sec rot arv. "In the following year the president organized and published his course of study for teacher training, provided a model practice school and issued hia declaration of principles that should be eiven his institute. "There were many objections to a normal srWil. Crnvn vas ndeul"l because of his teacher training cours es. The old line of academic institu tinm fmiorht- the new principles under lying such a school. He was called "tuimhiior" nnd his institution was re- taA t-n ns "trash." However. Cal vin H. Wiley, in reporting the work to the general assembly, gave it high praise. But Wiley was in favor of the institute plan for training teacn nnnawl the normal school idea. Craven was in favor of both ninns Wilev thought it was wrong to put much money in one institution, rvo viinvod that such an institu tion would give direction to the whole educational life of the state.
