THE CONCORD TI.KBS ' 1 BETTER SCHOOL FACILITIES Fount;-* C-hiUlren Entitled to Just as Oooil S hoals as City Children. < anninuii ate \viili it vvltb reference to IfiJliiboro. A. Cl. April If, — ‘The country children are ♦vititied ro just ■; go, id. educational adt an rages as are < nikli ra living iu the towns and es pnc’ii.b i’avor,.d districts, and the board of education is anxious to see this done if pri'.sibje. Jn other words, Lie banrd warns to sc.° ('very school in the county hive a ierm of eight montli.'i and at least one good high vfiool i stablishecl at some central point ni each township, with provision made for transporting the larger chil dren who live, too far to walk to tin* centt:tl school in the township. The hoard realizes that ii would Ik* necos v iry to maintain the pr< sent schools, or on.si <d them for the smaller chil dren and it has no desire to abolish the. lll." The board of education of Orange county has issued this announcement in' line with its program to increase educational facilities here. To earn out the plan, a Fix rate of fifty cents on the .I*lo9 valuation of property will lie, m-essary, it is stated, and the board members said they would call an election on tin* question to b< held •about the* middle" of May. "A great many people in the county, especially in the rural communities, Imvi* made it known to tin* board of education that they are not satisfied with our present school system,’’ the annoitii'-ement reads. "For a year or more., ilu* hoard lias been trying to work out some plan by which the school system might be improved. The demand' on the part of the people for improvement in school conditions has been general throughout the state, and in response to this demand, the recent Legislature, which has just adjourned, enacted some very ho.'pful legislation for schools. 'rite old school law lias been worked over and strengthened in a great many particulars. "I'nder the new Jaw, the county may be made, the unit of taxation anil a fiat rate levied all over the eouulv, all pie.- ni local taxes and local tax districts for schools being abolished. For instance, Orange county by ma jority vote of the people may vote a county.-wide, tax for schools,' thereby equali/.iing educational opportunities and burdens. There are a great many advantages in the County unit system over the district unit system, espe cially for tin* rural communities. There is little inducement for the. peo ph‘ in a rural community to vote a special tax on themselves when there is nothing to tax except the real and personal property in the community. If the county is made the unit of taxa tion. every school in the county would get its proportional part of tax from corporate wealth such as railroads, cotton mills, power plants, mines and others." _ The board has requested citizens to communicate with ii with refernce to the suggestions and proposed election. MORE attention blind BAH) TO HOD RAISING Farmers Arc Diving More Attention to It Than Ever Before. Raleigh, X. (’.. April 11.—Because of tin* impending invasion of the cot !>‘i fields in *the boll weevils, farmers of North Carolina are giving more thought and attention to hog raising than ever, according to Dr. F. D. Owen, federal inspector in charge of cooperative lmg cholera contro work in tlie state, who added that it “will not be surprising if at some far dis tant year this state will be able to produce its entire supply of work products—a thing which lias not been done for many years past.” The farmers here have ueen •‘particularly fortunate” in that practically the only contagious disease which has gained an great foothold has been cholera, he said, and if an owner uses ordinary pre cautions and will maintain an im munized herd, he need have no fear of this disease. “flog cholera will kill, on an aver age. sr> pin* cent of every herd it reaches which has not been vac cinated,” he cont imed. “but if the animals have been treated with tho anti-cholera serum and virus, ad ministered by a competent man, ihe losses from this disease wM not ex ceed over one half of onei per cent, this slight loss being due to individual idiosyceras.v, for out of every thous and hogs treated there may be a tew animals with so high a degree of susceptibility that even the immuni zation will not protect, possibly five out of a thousand. ““ “This one greatest fault with the average farmer is that he wiF not understand that this serum treatment is a protective measure and not a cure. As a matter of fact, the serum is usually almost worthless -when ap plied to an animal which has been sick for any length of time. It oc casionally will save a good percent age of sick animu s is administered durine the first few hours of n lness,” he said. Concord Presbyterlal <o Meet at Statesville.

A MODERN UTOPIA A Little Colony of Men Now Quietly at Work. Danville, Ya., April J1 (By the As sociated Press). — Protected from in rrusion by (lie lofty clefts of the Patrick county mountains, a little colony of men and women mulct the leadership- o£ Rev. M. Alien Stickiev, is quietly at work founding a modern Utopia. On the fertile slopes of Smith River Valley, a veritable small Eden, hemmed in on every side by the lir-elad hills, the purpose of the col onists is to establish a Christian com munity, and now, after nearly a year’s labor, they arc preparing for the ar rival of new la mi! ins. .Mr. Si iek ley* who held several charges in Virginia, early last spring announced that the time had arrived for his people to get away from the temptations of a "reckless world.” He announced his intention of going into the remote section of Patrick, where “close communion with nature could he had and where a daily re iigioon, based on the fundamental truths of the Bible, could be prac ticed.” Not many months later, the colon ists bought a large stretch of Smith River Valley, which is ten miles north of Stuart and far from any communi ly and railways, and began work.- There were six families from the stales of Georgia, Maryland, Pennsyl vania and Indiana. The minister de clared In* was “not courting publicity” and asked to bo “left alone” in order that lie and his followers might de velop their plan according to their own ideals. Little has been heard.of them since. Inquiries, however, have revealed that the .project has been definitely estab lished and that the colony is grow ing. One Patrick county man who climbed one of the mountains from which ho could look down on the wind ing stream of Smith river, said that in addition to the six farm houses built by tlie* pioneers, the frame work of other homes stood out and that there were several other buildings’ one of them having the appearance of a school and the other a church. Such a contact as the few Patrick county fruit-growers have had with the colony is said to have resulted in a favorable impression. The men are described as hardy and earnest workers, and tin* women, some of them beautiful, well developed in the art of homo economics. The group is char acterized as deeply religious and as looking to Mr. Stickly as their lead ing adviser. The trend of the colonists is along agricultural lines entirely, dairying and stock raising included. They have acquired pure bred stock and now are growing grain in the rich val ley. They also have established apiaries and are cultivating orchards. It is their plan untimately to become entirely self supporting. The colon ists are said to have no tendency to ward groat financial gain but arc sat isfied with a cloistered existence unique* in state annals. Rail Traffic Volume Touched Higher Mark.
