INTERESTING ARTICLE ON LIVE TOWN IN SOUTH EASTERN RANDOLPH SCHOOLS AND CHURCHES ARE WELL SUP PORTED. Coleridge is mostly situated on the east side of Deep River, about 7 miles south-east of IJamseur, its shipping point. The population of this village numbers something over 200. They are quiet, industrious people. .That they are God-fearing and religious people is well attested by the fact that this village has two churches one Methodist and one Baptist. The Methodist church of Coleridge is one of the finest and best equipped houses of worship to be found in the county The school of Coleridge employs three instructors to teach its young people. 165 students are numbered in the district with 145 children 'a school the past term. The school building of this place is one of the finest wooden buildings in North Carolina. This alone, if there was nothing else, marks the people of Coleridge as a progres sive and far-sighted people, for the young man or young woman who goes out to gain a livelihood in this twenti eth century without an education, or the rudiments thereof,is seriously han dicapped and the community of Cole ridge seems to recognize this serious fact. Therefore, they are striving to educate their children and this school building is a monument to their in telligence. The closing exercises of the Co!e ridgs graded school occurred April SO and May 1. The exercises of the pri mary md intermediate grades were on Friday night. On Saturday the declamations, recitations, tha literary address and the presentation of the diplomas took place. The declaimer's medal was won by C. Ot!s Scotton and the reciter's medal was won by Miss Olive Perry. Besides the declama tion and recitation medals, three scho larship medals were given one in the primary department, which was won by little Miss Helen Bray; one in the intermediate grades, won by Master Colon Davis; and one in the advanced grades, won by Miss Greta Cox. The literary address by Hon. W. D. Siler, was a straightforward, progressive and instructive speech. The ball game between Franklinville and Coleridge resulted in a victory for the home team. It might here be added that the people who attend the commencement exercises at Coleridge next year will eee a new baseball park. At present Coleridge ball team is mostly young Stock, but in future it aims to build up a b.'tse ball nine that will be sec ond to none in the county. On the Saturday night of the com mencement a play, entitled, "Peter Pi per's Troubles", was well presented to a crowded house. The efficient teach ers have done a good year's work and deserve much credit for the good showing they have made. The industries of Coleridge are, one cotton will, bending mill, roller flour mill, wool cards, cotton gin, smith shop, barber shop, hotel and two stores. The cotton mill uses some 50,000 pounds of cotton each year in the manufacture of cotton yarns which is in turn used for making sash, cording and other cotton goods. It em ploys fifty operatives to run its 3,000 spindles. Recently new machinery was purchased and installed to the amount of $13,000. The bending mill manufactures different parts of vari ous kinds of chairs, lawn settees and does other wood work in general. It tises some 468,000 feet of lumber per year and employs 20 men and boys, The roller mill is well equipped for making the different grades of flour, grinding corn, crushing, mill feed, etc Grain to the amount of 15,000 bushels is ground here each year. The com pany stove at this place is up-to-date in every respect, this being evidenced by the fact that they sell $24,000.00 worth of merchandise annually. In 3913 a new concrete dam was con structed at a cost of $11,000, which gives ample waterpower for driving the machinery of the different indus tries. At present, an electric power plant is being built that will supply electricity for running the cotton mill, bending mill, roller mill, etc. It will also furnish electricity for lighting the town, school building, churches, etc., and the writer understands that each house is to be electrically light ed. This will make Coleridge a mod el town after night. This new con struction is of concrete and will cost 110,000. The work will be rushed to completion. The farmers of Coleridge communi ty have long ago abandoned the "bull tongue" method of farming, and no where in the county will one find more progressive me'Lnls in use than in this section. Improved and thorough bred stock are taking the place of the scrub and "dung-hill" breeds, while in the fields the farmers are striving to increase the yields of the various crops by selecting better seed for sowing and planting, better prep aration of seed beds, better cultiva tion and the rotation of crops. All these and other things are helping the HEALTH CLUBS Other counties would do well to em ulate the example set bv Johnston county in organizing health clubs among the school children. Much val uable work was done by these clubs the past year. According to the plan in Johnston, each school has two health oflicers, one boy and one girl, who are pupils of the school. These officers are to work with the teachers in organizing health clubs and to aid in obtaining all pos sible information regarding sanitary or unsanitary conditions in the school and surrounding community. They are to get reports from pupils each day and inform the County Health Officer at once if any contagious dis ease breaks out. The main purpose is that school children and older people may become alive to actual conditions about th,em and learn how to improve these conditions. Among the things reported done b. the health clubs are the following. Drinking water for twenty-five schools tested; five new pumps put in; school rooms kept ventilated and floors clean; windows washed and floors oiled ;i.rasn removed from grounds and privies cleaned; children's hands a:ul faces washed, hair brushed, nails and teeth cleaned; individual drinking oups in troduced, etc. One school found that after the well had been thoroughly cleaned out analysis still showed the water to be impure. They got busy and found that water standing in a marshy place at some distance from the well might be the cause. They ditched the marsh, leaned out the well, and found no more trouble with their well.. Anoth er school knows now where the mos quito that causes malaria come from. At one school that has a health club, 23 of the largest boys and men of the community signed a pledge not MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR LIFE KIDNEY TROUBLE CAUSES I TENSE SUFFERING IN- (By Talmcge Bulla.) small miseries.

"Absurd?" Comon sense has already told him so, and that is the thing that troubles him. It is also useless to put into the minds of those sufferers that if they live with a proper estimate of the present and the future before them, they could bear those petty trials with a calm and decent philosophy. But you have seen these same philosophers strongly moved by petty disappoint ments in meals, or weather that af fected themselves; no even by such trifling things a .frigid shaving water, or a want or buttons.

For instance: One farmer has raised 85 bushels of wheat on two acres, another S00 bushels of corn on four acres, and still another fanner, last year, with the continued drouth, raised 117 bushels of Irish potatoes on one-half acre of ground. The Farmer's Union of this section is aiding the farmer in many different ways; it is teaching him better methods of farming: better methods of marketing farm products and above all, it is teaching him that no individual effort, no matter how great, can solve the problems that con front the farmers toway. The pros perity of the farmers around Cole ridge is proved by the fact that many are buying automobiles, while all are buying improved farming machinery. threshers, huskers, and shredders. Two clover hullers, hayrakes and oth er machinery are jointly owned and operated in the Coleridge section. Coleridge has never furnished the nation many great men, but neverthe' less, Coleridge is proud of her peo pie, of their talent and ability. Brax ton Craven was born and spent part of his youth near Coleridge. In his day he was one of the most noted educat ors in North Carolina. His birthplace is one mile west of Coleridge, and while there are no mark3 to identify the exact spot, it can be pointed out by the older inhabitants of the neigh borhood. Furthermore, Coleridge is the home of one of the best steel bridge constructors in the South. It has furnished the county a sheriff and other public officers. It has two doc tors men who stand high in their profession, and it also boasts a poet and a song writer. With Coleridge's many advantages, she also has a number of disadvan tages. The greatest if these is the lack of convenient railway facilities. This part of the courty is a great hardwood section. Travelers who visit through here are' surprised to see the numbers of virgin forests that are still standing. The trade in this great natural product, to a large ex tent, is lost by Coleridge to surround ing towns that have the advantages of railroads, while it is safe to say that if Coleridge had a railroad it would obtain a large part of this trade that now goes to other places.' But sooner or later Coleridge will have a railroad and then it will forge its way to the front and be truly one of Randolph's greatest agricultural and industrial centers, for the very atmosphere of Coleridge is permeated with, "Take off your hats and watch us grow".' . b. as. Ramseur Route 1, N. C. 1 J '' j iiancy of a May shower. There are other natures just as fine in a con trary direction, whose excessive sen sibility makes them the instrument upon which circumstances play. One of the little troubles is one which I suspect will seem boyish to some, but which I know some are troubled with the tyranny of the at mosphere. When a stormy day comes, or a spiteful east wind attacks us, or when there is not a clear sky to speak to us from the other world, we are pressed down and packed full of inex pressable languors. The work we are clinging to falls from our hands, our weakness bothers us, and the human nature suffers with the physical world. Man as an immortal soul ought to soar high above this earthly atmos phere. But though we envy the pow ers of such natures as are always uni form, we cannot be like them. And we don't like for people to tell us that such humblings are imaginary, and should be shunned. We do not resist them, and this struggle assures us ot their reality, for in it we feel the dif ficulty of fortifying ourselves against its influence. The system of philosophy doesn't fit the average man, it is too big yes, for the Christian man which over looks the terrible reality of "little troubles." Is it the big stones that cause the traveling horse to kneel ? No, it's the little pebbles, and it is the petty an noyances of life, ever present, to be Prove What Swamp-Root Will Do For You Send ten cents to Dr. Kilmer & Co.. Binghamton, N.

HENRY WOULD PlM; FOLKS WHO TORTURE CHICKENS (Statesville Landmark.) Mr. Bob Henry wants something done with the folks who tie chickens by the feet and haul them to market that way. While they'e regulating so many things, Mr. Henry thinks the method of handling chickens is one that calls for attention. Many thoughtless people continue to tie chickens by their feet to haul them to market, simply because they have been accustomed to seeing it done that way, with never a thought to the suffering of the chickens, kept in a cramped and strained position for hours. It wouldn't be good for those peo ple but it would be a relief for the chickens if Mr. Henry had to pass judgment on folks guilty of this form of cruelty. He would begin bv im Dos ing a stiff fine on the offenders and would confiscate their chickens and give them to the poor. If that wasn't effective, he would gradually work up a chain gang sentence. . Mr. Henry is right. The torturing of animals and fowls simply because they are to be slaughtered for food is inexcusable. It is usually done by folks who have never given the mat ter a thought, but they ought to think.

And when we are in the midst of such a storm, how often we are met with that aggravat ing little bit of sympathy that will be all the same a hundred years to come. There is no comfort in dictum, so mocking and so untrue. It doesn't touch the question at all; it is not true. Nothing happens for nothing, and whether we did or did not do a certain thing, or whether we got or did not get another, may have very important results, even a hundred years hence. This kind of comfort, taken out to its logical conclusions, would take every honest purpose out of life. A man can persuade himself by it, that whether he did his duty or not, whether he labored for his bread or stole it, would be all the same a hundred years hence. We don't live that far ahead. We are here now today's duty and whoever helps us best today is the assistance .we should clasp. What then must we do with these constant petty trials, from which we see no relief while in this life? Don't let us blink matters. People get tired of them. Struck by the same fist, we go on telling the same story, and this frequent reoccurrence is hard to bear with. Friendship can see far above faults wears out with our complaints. The sympathy that finds us at sunrise just as it leaves us at sunset, can no more maintain its life than fire can burn in a torricellian. To whom must we go ? He who lives above, whose hand has so often opened up. It was not to the down trodden that Jesus forbade "repeti tion". You may request him without being afraid. Does he care for such petty troubles as waste and harass our affairs, and shall come to an end. The reserve surplus already in hand would permit the National banks to double their present line of credits. It would even now be possible to extend credits by the sum of $5,000,000,000. These fig ures give some idead of the rate at which European money is being pour ed into this country, for the war con ditions have created much of this wealth. In nine months the trade bal ance in favor of the United States has reached an excess of $720,000,000 of exports over imports, and is still growing in fact may be said to be just beginning to grow.. Those who feared the European war would break the United States made a bad guess. Charlotte Observer. Children Cry FOR FLETCHER'S CASTORIA let out our life, as it were by thous ands of keen daggers ?
