mentioned in the News if they are
hampered with lack of funds for
school.
The junk dealer has gathered a
few car loads t>f material in Bre

dertaken to remove all the surplus
stuff in back lots and alleys! It
would make just about the longest
load of freight ever pulled out of
this county. In other words, Bre
vard needs to undergo something
of a renovation.

Local and State Educational Work
By the "Daughters of Confederacy
The U. D. C. review in this copy
of the News shows commendable
and untiring energy in bekalf of
the Daughters by a Transylvanian,
Miss Annie Jean Gash, of Pisgah
Forest. The educational work of
the Daughters is a great contribu
tion to the State and Miss Gash is
taking an important part in this
splendid undertaking.
The dear tax payers clamored
loud and long for the audit of the
tow'u’s books and herewith they
have it and we are mighty glad
that this beautiful exposition of
such an elaborate honor roll of al
leged delinquent taxpayers is given
on the heels of one church revival
and in the midst of another when
the people in searches, vain and
otherwise, for tax receipts will
have proportionate grace to tem
per their expre.ssions. But seri-
ou.sly, the audit and its timely
recommendations are worth taking
home by the fireside and thinking
about.
The Jack.son County Journal
says that the legislative committee
will recommend an appropriation
by the General Assembly of $70,-
XX) for Cullowhee In.stitute, a
000 dormitory for girls being
wanted. Cullowhee, which is just
across the mountains in our neigh
boring county, is doing a good
work for the whole State and the
following endorsement from the
Journal is not amiss: “From it
have come some of the leading
men and women of this section and
in its class rooms have been trained
perhaps a majority of the public
school teachers of this section.’*

lHAPTKK house and U. D. C. LIBRARY IN BREVARD
review of the educational work of
the Daughters in North Carolina
and includes the list of scholar
ships olYered, as given herewith.
The report shows considernbh* «io-
tivity on th • piirt of the committee
and especially by Miss Cash, who
makes her second annual report,
now being engaged in the third
year of her work as chairman. A
few facts sitted from her report
show something of her indefatiga
ble z‘!al for the cause which the
Daughters rej)resent. About 100
letters and cards have been recoiv-
t'd and answered. Over 100 re
quests for scholarships and Ijr) for
mal applications are on tile ; 150 schol
arships were filled and then nine of
these were re-tilled because candi
dates either changed their minds or
were unable to meet entrance re-
iuirements.
One of the most encou**ttging
things to Miss Gash in the educa
tional w’ork has been the way some
chapters and^district.'* are obtain
ing scholar«hips their own for
students they know to be worthy.
The report gives an account ot
praiseworthy uctivities by different
chapters over the state and adds in
behalf of the local chapter ;
“Transylvania Chapter, Brevard,
has undertaken a fourth scholar
ship and will support an orphan
boy at the Maxwell School, Macon
county, as soon as there is room
for him, and this will cost only
a year.”
North Carolina makes a better
showing this year than ever before
in regard to general schola»’ships.
The North Carolina Division is
offering this year 29 scholarships,
worth $l,7r)0und is using besides,
four general scholarshijis valued
at $fi45. Add to these sums the
$72 spent for medals and prizes for
essays anil there is a total for edu
cation of .^2,687.
The, report credits the Transyl
vania chapter with offering a choice
of $.') gold piece or U. D. C. official
medal for best essay from county
high schools on “North Carolina’s
Part in the War Between the
States.”
Miss Gash bolds before the Daugh
ters of the stute high ideals in mat
ters of eaucation and says: “This
year let our aim be every chapter
contributing to the Normal Fund
and every chapter with a scholar
ship of Its own, or a share in a dis
trict scholarship.”
The Normal Fund provides for
six scholarships worth $75 each in
the State Normal College at Greens
boro.
The North Carolina division has
adopted the official U. D. C. medal,
a cut of which appears herewith.
In place of the w’ord “Alabama”
the words “North Carolina” will
be snbstitnted on medals awarded
in this State. The same change
will apply to all other states.

Medal Offered in County.
For the second time the Transyl
vania Chapter U. D. C. offers the
“official U. D. C. Medal”, for the
best essay on assigned subject of
Confederate history. This is done
to stimulate interest in the history
of our state and county. Last year
Calomel salivates! It’s mercury. Calo
mel acts like dynamite on a slugt^ish liver.
When calomel comes into contact with
sour bile it crashes into it. causing cramj)-
in^ and nausea.
If you feel bilious, headachy, con.sti-
pated and all knocked out, just go to your
druRRist and get a 5i> cent bettle of Dod
son's Liver Tone, which is a harmless
vegetable substitute f(»r dangerous calo
mel. Take a spoonful and if it
doesn’t start your liver and straighten you
up better and quicker than nasty calomel
and without making; you sick, you just ^o
back and get your money.
If you take calomel today you’ll be sick
and nauseated tomorrow; besides, it may
salivate you, while if you take Dodson’s
Liver Tone you will wake up feeling fjn at,
full of ambition and ready for work or
play. It’s harmless, pleasant and safe to
nive to children; they like it. Advertise
ment.
New or renewal subscriptions
I (beginning January 1) will cost
$1.09 for one year, 60 cents 6
months, 35 cents 3 months, 25
cents for 2 months.
