MEANT FORM OF CRITICISM Original Expression, "Getting the Dickens," Was Not, as Many Think, Something Profane. Sometime, somewhere, from some body we all get "the Dickens." And those of us who become prominent get It more than the others. Among those of us ordinary mor tals who occasionally find relief in let ting off steam in the form of some thing more expressive than slang, there seems to be a common miscon ception that "getting the Dickens" is a modification or abbreviation of (heaven help us!) "getting the devil." It is not. It is a harmless, legitimate and respectable expression that may be used with Impunity in the best of company. It is simply an allusion to our old friend, Charles Dickens. Though immortal as a novelist, Dickens was well known in his own time as a newspaper man. So vitriolic is he said to have been in his at tacks on faulty public officials or other prominent men that gradually it came to be said, when anyone was criticised by him, that he got "the Dickens."

SKIN ERUPTIONS ON THE FACE are unsightly and mar the appearance of many a woman whose face would be otherwise attractive. There is no need for this.

Nothing better for eczema and other skin troubles than Tetterine. Sold by druggists or mailed for 50c. by Shuptrine Co., Savannah, Ga. —Adv. REASON IN LOWER ANIMALS That They Possess More Than Mere Instinct Seems to Have Been Abundantly Proved. In the woods when male deer get to fighting, the rattle of their clashing antlers may be heard a long way off. and sometimes other males hearing the sound make toward it and lure away the female over which the other two are fighting. Hunters frequently employ this knowledge of deer habits to decoy bucks into range of their rifles by rat tling together a couple of sets of old antlers. Take it all in all, it is hardly fa!r to tie animals to say they merely pos sess instinct, when we have so many instances of their reasoning powers. If monkeys were able to preserve the best thoughts of each generation of their species as humans do with the printing press—well, anyway, it is too bad that Garner didn't live to estab lish on the Florida coast his monkey colony. Had he done this, who knows what startling discoveries he might have made concerning their intellect? —Exchange. India Silk. There are 1,(XX),000 persons in India engaged in the production of silk. Caterpillars and moths of the mul berry silk industry of India are entire ly domesticated creatures. LEGKES OF DIVIDED OPINION TWO EXPRESSIONS OF CONVIC TION ON BONUS MAKE IN TERESTING READING. ONE WANTS ACTION RATIFIED Another Thinks Conditions Just Now Do Not Justify Enormous Ex pense Bonus Plan Entails. Raleich. Officers of the American legion in Carolina are far from being united in their position on the pro posed bonus or extra pay plan for sol diers, now being considered by a con gressional committee. Of four men who have replied to a letter of inquiry from Dan W. Terry, state publicity officer, one is in fa vor of relief legislation along the lines suggested by National Comman der D'Olier, one regards the bonus as an appreciation of service, but not as pay, two are opposed with reserva tions in favor of the disabled soldiers. Allen Adams, of Greensboro, mem ber of the executive committee from ■the Fifth district, is of the opinion that the state commander should as semble the executive committee to gether at some central point and that this committee should pass a resolu tion endorsing the actions of the na tional commander. Of very different tone is the com munication of A. R. Parshley, of Clin ton, another member of the executive committee of the Third district. He said: "I am very glad of an opportunity to raise my voice against any bonus plan for ex-service men. I should, however, like to make exceptions with regard to disabled men. I do not believe that the amounts received under the War Risk Insurance are ample, and it is quite possible that much injustice has done. As for the ordinary man, like myself, there are jobs a-plenty, and I do not begrudge at all the time I spent in service. Nor do I think that condi tions would justify the enormous ex pense which any bonus plan would necessitate. Dlssention in the Ranks. The McGirt-Kirkpatrick plan for a bond issue of $50,000,000 to build roads in North Carolina has developed dissension in the ranks of the North Carolina Good Roads association. Some of them, notably Miss Hattie Berry, secretary of the association, have come out actively against the plan to press the matter at the July session of the legislature. The Governor on Suffrage. "I have a profound conviction that the special session of the North Caro lina legislature will ratify the suffrage amendment regardless of what other states may do," declared Gov. T. W. Bickett, after declining, on the grounds of propriety and courtesy, to send telegrams to Delaware urging the ratification of the amendment by that state. SIOO,OOO for Ridgecrest. w Birmingham, Ala. — ( Special).—The Southern Baptist Educational board has authorized the following appro priations to be made from the $16,- 000,000 fund recently raised for edu cational purposes: Southern Baptist Assembly, Ridge Crest, N. C., $100,000; John B. Stet son university, Deland, Fla., $100,000; Montezuma Baptist college, East Las Vegas, N. M., $50,000. Tax Supervisor Seventh District. J. C. Reid, of Charlotte, has been appointed tax supervisor for the sev enth district to succeed Major A. L. Bulwinkle, of Gastonia. Reid takes up the work as supervisor under the state revaluation act and will hare charge of the district comprising the counties of Mecklenburg, Gaston, Cleveland, Lincoln, Catawba, Stanly, Anson and Union. Professor of Farm Crops. Announcement is made at State Col lege that Mr. W. H. Darst, associa e professor of Farm Crops at Pennsyl vania State college, has accepted the professorship of Farm Crops and will enter upon his new duties at West Raleigh May the first. Professor Darst comes to State Col lege with splendid equipment both as to training and experience and highly recommended by some of the biggest *gricultural men of the country. He was born and reared on a farm Ift Miami county, Ohio. State Printing More Costly. The state printing commission met recently in the governor's office and allowed an increase of 20 per cent to the five concerns who do the state's printing. This increase dates back to January 1 this year, but does not ap ply to work which was given them prior to that time and whir' has not yet been completed. The publishing house plead the high cost of labor, stating that their expenses are enor mous. There Is a clause in the con tract under which tha increase is al lowed. THE COURIER, FOREST CITY, N. C. Teacher* Properly Graded. For the first time in the history ot the teaching profession in North Caro lina the large majority of teachers in city and state schools are in posses sion of either first or second grade certificates. Of the more than 16,- 000 teachers in North Carolina only 300 or 400 have not been certified by the state board of examiners, although the teachers themselves claim that they have qualified for certificates. That they have not been furnished with certificates is very likely due to delay of superintendents in forward ing the reports to the offices here. More than 12,000 teachers have qual ified and are in possession of first grade certificates, the second grade certificates going to less than 3,000. With the teachers of the state on a substantial professional basis the big problem which the schools are con fronted with, or will be at the opening of the fall session, is to persuade the teachers to continue in the school work instead of entering other employ ment. This has been the history of North Carolina's teachers for many years, and there is every reason to be lieve that the same thing will happen again. Hundreds of the state's best teachers are early lured from the school rooms into other work by sala ries far above that paid them for teaching. The only way that North Carodina can maintain its present teaching force and persuade others who are badly needed to enter the profession, is to increase the pay. Fire Prevention Day October 9th is designated by law, '••Fire Prevention Day" the governor being required "to issue a proclama tion urging the people to a proper ob servance of the day," and the insur ance commissioner is commanded "to bring the day and its observance to the attention of all municipal officials and especially the firemen, and where possible, arrange suitable programs. The week beginning March 28 and ending April 3 was selected as fire prevention, or clean-up week. Setting the Governor Straight. Governor Bickett, three days aftei -ie had mado public his intention of advising the democratic party to get on the suffrage bandwagon and that he would urge the special session of the general assembly to ratify the Susan B. Anthony amendment, re ceived a telegram from J. H. Gaines, representing the anti-suffrage league of West Virginia, stating that West Virginia had not legallyratified the amendment. His purpose of setting the Governor straight was in the in terest of letting the rublic know the facts. Examination for Postmasters Washington, (Special)— Civil s«r vice examination will be held on April 14 for presidential postmaster at the following places in North Ca olina Rosemary, salary $1,400; Lakesvilla salary, $1,500; Rich Square, salary, $1,400; Robersonville, salary, $1,500. Members of the North Carolina dele gation in the house voted for a smal! army before the army reorganization* bill passed. They supported a motion to limit the size to 185,000 men. Appeal by Power Company Dismissed Washington,—The supreme court dismissed for lach. of jurisdiction ap peals from North Carolina supremo court decrees perpetually enjoining the Hiawasee River Power Company, upon the application of the Carolina* Tennessee Power Company from con- structing and operating power plants on the Hiawassee river in Cherokee county. Simmons against Sale of Ships Senator Simmons went to bat again to stop the sale of ships needed in the south and elsewhere in this country. Constituents have wired him that the government is making sales de spite Uie protest here. "Senators will recall that recently there was a strong protest against the sale of government-owned ships," said Senator Simmons, "arising out of the proposal then to sell certain Ger man ships. The senator from Wash ington, Mr. Jones, introduced a bill to the general effect that the shipping board should not proceed with sales until Congress had announced its pol icy and provided for continued govern ment operation. State Has Had Ten Capitals. The first complete report in con nection with the Raleigh and Wake county community study shows that the state of North Carolina has had at least ten capitals, Bath, Edenton, Brunswick. Wilmington, New Bern, Hillsboro, Smithfield, Fayetteville and Raleigh. The reason for so many lay in the custom prior to 179-1 of trans ferring the seat of government to the temporary place 01 assembly. In 1791 one square mile of land was bought for the foundation of Raleigh as a permanent seat of government. The Truth About Revaluation ! "The Truth About Revaluation" is the title of a pamphlet that is being printed, containing the series of Mon day morning "Sermons on Taxation" written by T. W. Bickett. G-overnor Bickett has received scores of letters irom over the state and e rom other states commending his tand for an equalization of taxation n North Carolina. One was received rom Dr. E. W. Qudger. member of the 'acuity of the North Carolina College , for Women, now doing special work j In Nerv York.
