Patre Eifht LENOIR NEWS-TOPIC, JUKE SO, 1921 LLNOIB, N. U OTHERS DID GREAT WORK AT OAK HILL Editor News-Topic: A number of errors are noted in a front page article in your issue of the 16th inst, which is headed "Story Leaves Oak Hill for Trin ity." The article referred to states that Prof. T. E. Story went to Oak Hill just after the consolidation of the districts there and that during his stay of seven years the school had grown from an attendance of 50 the first year to 150 last year. Of course I don't know who is respon sible for the errors and, in attempt- , ing to correct them, I want it clearly understood that I have no desire to detract from the credit due Mr. Story for the splendid work he has done at Oak Hill, but at the same time I think it is nothing more than justice to those who taught at Oak Hill before Ir. Story went there that the article jn question be corrected. In the first place, Mr. Story did not go to Oak Hill immediately after the consolidation there, rrof. W. L. inkier of Watauga county was in charge of the school the first two years after the consolidation, and those were most successful years in every way. In fact, a large measure of the success which Oak Hill has attained is due to the splendid work and organization effected by Prof. Winkler during those two first years of school. It was at the end of Mr. Winkler's first term that the special tax was voted, which, by the way, was the first rural special tax in Caldwell county. The enrollment those two years was above 90, which included 15 or 20 boarding students, and the attendancse was near 70 each year. Following Prof. Winkler, Prof. Wiley ;. Hartzog of Boone taught three of the most successful terms that Oak Hill has ever had. It was du to the efforts of Prof. Hartzog th: t the high school was secured in 1911. Inuring Mr. Hartzog's prineipalship the enrollment was imore than 100 and, attendance more than 90 each term. Prof. Story became principal of Oak Hill in 1 1) 1 4 and his seven years there have been most successful ones. During that time, and large due to the leadership of Prof. Story, the brick building was erected and the full high school course added. Mr. Story has worked hard to make a success of Oak Hill and the work of the past few years speaks in the high est terms of praise for him. Due to his tireless efforts the school has grown until last year the average at tendance was near Vlii and a num ber of the graduates were doing most successful work in the coll-.-ges of the State. It is hardly possible to true Mr. Story too much credit for his work at Oak Hill, and truly the school is the lowr as he goes to Trinity, but in justice to those who were pioneer there I think you should publish these corrections. Respectfully vours, D. T." SMITH. Boone, June 20, 11)21. ACCIDENTS KILL MORE PEOPLE THAiN CANCER Accidents kill more people in the United States in one yaer than the much-dreaded scourge of cancer, ac cording to a compilation of statistics just completed by the American Red Cross. The toll of accident deaths in 1918, the latest year for which fiir ures are now available, was 8:i, 000, the announcement stated. Automobile factalities have in creased tenfold ('urinsr the last dec ade, the statement continued. Nine ty people out of each million of popu lation were killed by automobiles in 1918 as compared with 10 per million annually from 1 !( to 1910. While slaughter by automobiles has thus in creased, it was pointed out, the safe ty movement in America has appre ciably reduced the number of deaths on railroad and trolley tracks. v "The control of accident fatalities end injury is one of the outstanding problems in the movement for longer and healthier lives," says the Red Cross statement. "Life-saving and first aid instructions, which the Red Cross provides through chapters scat tered throughout the country, has in the last seven years helped lessen drowning accidents. If the drowning death rate of 1906-1910 had prevail ed in 1918, for instance, there would have been 2,100 more deaths than ac tually occurred." OLD-TIME COLD CURE DRINK HOT TEA I THOMAS C. CARLTON (Centralia (Kan.) Journal) Thomas C. Carlton, son of Pickens and Martha Carlton, was born near Boomer, N. C Sept 5, 1852. Died at his horn in Centralia, Kan., June 6, 1921, at the. age of 68 years 9 months and one day. His boyhood days were spent in North Carolina. He was married to Mattie E. Kendall on March 22, 1883. They came to Centralia, Kan., immediately after. Two sons were born to this union, Homer W. and Roby F., both of whom have died, Roby Oct 12, 1907, and Homer Jan. 25, 1913. He leaves a wife, Mattie E. Carlton, and three brothers and three sisters, who live in North Carolina. Mr. Carlton came to Kansas thirty-eight year sago. His capital at that time consisted largely of eood health, pluck and honesty. He came with the determination of making good, and make good he did. He was a man who did not wait for some opportunity to turn up, but made opportunity by improving every minute of his time building up a home of his own, so when he reached the mature ageof life he could rest with ease, ror the last few years in life he and his wife were enjoying the fruits of their labors. They spent a great deal of time at differ ent resorts. Mr. Carlton was a man whose life was filled with sunshine. He was al ways looking on the bright side of life, making those happy with whom he associated. His work is done. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him. He possessed what money could not buy, While passing through this life. For he never seemed to think of self, But his children, friends and wife. Unselfishness, we all well know, Is part of God's glorious plan, And, like many of his other laws, Are disobeyed by iman. God does not judge a man by what he oft proclaims, But from the goodness of his heart Then those whose lives are filled with love Of God becomes a part. Funeral services were held in the Congregational church Wednesday afternoon. Mr. Carlton was a friend of the three pastors, Mr. McClain, Mr. Warner and Mr. Bussey,who con ducted the services. The men's quar tet sang three appropriate selections. Burial was beside his two sons ni the Centralia cemeterv.

Linney will be confirmed as district attorney for the western district of North Carolina, says a dis patch from Washington. This predic tion is as safe as any forecast of an even of the future may be. It is one on which a gambler would give long odds. Negro opposition to Mr. Lin ney crumbled late Friday before the Senate judiciary sub-committee, com posed of Senators Ernst of Kentucky, Cummins of Iowa and Overman of North Carolina. The sub-committee is expected to recommend unani mously for confirmation. The negro protestants say of Mr. Linney tha he "imet our every con tention" or "surrendered to our views." Mr. Linney and his friends say he did nothing of the sort; that he merely informed the committee that as district attorney he would en force the law without respect to race or color, that he would prosecute those who seek to disfranchise the ne gro of his constitutional right and that the famus Linney campaign cir cular was not a disfranchisement doc ument but one suggesting only that the "negro question" be eliminated in southern politics. On these, matters Mr. Linney told the committee his record and views had been an open book all long. Yet the negroes present concluded thS hearing by saying they had "misun derstood" Mr. Linney and his atti tude, tls ethey would not have taken up the time of the committee with their protests. Henry Lincoln Johnson, negro na tional committeeman from Georgia, appeared as a sort of attorney for the race at the Senate hearing. Negro leders front Boston, New York, Chicago, Toledo, Washington and other cities were present, togeth er with a delegation of 20 or more from North Carolina, led by Prof. D. C. Suggs of Salisbury, v After the hearing; all said they were . satisfied with ; Mr. Linney' promise to enforce the law impar tially as between the racesk in cases of registration and otherwise. Mr. Linney and his friends ask "what else might a district attorney, sworn to uphold the law, be expected to prom ise 7" and so on. ' NOW HAVE A CHANCE TO BUY Treasurer B. E. Lacy is sending out the advertisements for the 8r 000,000 worth of State bonds which the council of state authorized him to sell at a recent meeting. Despite the fact that these bonds are to yield but 5 per cent the treasurer is hop ing to dispose of them to the people of North Carolina. Ha is going to make a special effort to sell the $100 denomination bonds, since there has been an insistent demand of some people in the State that bonds of the smaller denominations could be sold. The next time you buy calomel ask for The purified and refined calomel tablets that are nausealeu, safe and sure. Medicinal virtue retain ed and unproved. Sold only in sealed packages.

They will yield 5 per cent, are free from all State taxes and will be payable in ten years' time. The treasurer thinks they offer an especially attractive in vestment to the man of small means who has some surplus money which he will not need immediately. The bonds, of course, are gilt-edged se curity, and can be handled just as the United States bonds eithe ras collat eral or otherwise. The bonds must bring par, under the iaw which au thorizes the sale. DO YOU KNOW THAT Four million men were in the American forces during the world war? There were 309,781 in the Revolu tion?
