THE SIX Months school
The act passed by practically a un
animous vote of the General Assemb
ly, providing for six months school
term in every district of North Caro
lina is a ^eat step forward. This ques
tion has been agitated by educational
leaders for a long time and proved to
be a problem difficult of solution.
There has been no diversion of senti
ment, but wise men in the Legislature
hesitated heretofore to take the step
because they -were unable to agree to
the financing of the proposition with
a deficit in tii* State Treasury staring
them in the face. No such condition
■ exists today.
But the people over North Carolina
would take no excuse. Two years
ago petitions poured in upon law
makers from every section of North
Carolina urging^ the passage of a bill
providing a six months term for rural
schools; the Farmers’ Union plead
with the- Legislative committee to
heed the demand of the people and
the State Department of Education
threw the power of its influence be
hind the movement. The newsjj^a-
pers of the State joined in the cam
paign and all these influences com
bined were irresistable. Members of
the General Assembly then became
convinced that a way should be pro-
v4ded to meet the demands of the
farmers of North Carolina and have
covered themselves with glory by
passing the bill, submitting a consti
tutional amendment which was adopt
ed by more than 100,000 majority
and the way is now open. A more
important or far-reaching measure
will not be enacted at this session of
the General Assembly. It is one in
stance of the people in country com
munities getting what they wanted.
We believe the act of the General
Assembly providing a six months
school for the country children will
be heartily applauded by the people
in every corner of the State. The
cities and towns have been favored
with from six to nine months school
terms for a number of years. The
country children are soon to have
their inning and this paper rejoices
vith them in the prospect.
Those' who appreciate the dfort
this paper has mad€ to keep them ad-
iMsed of legislative happenings the
past six weeks ^11 show their ap
proval by remitting the amount due
on past subscription and renewing for
another year. Our correspondent has
given the legislative proceedings right
off the bat and no other paper in this
section has kept the people so w^l in
formed on maters relating to Western
North Carolina.
What has become of the proposi-
tion^ to advertise Brevard for the
summer tourist trade which was
proposed at the Brevard Club some
time ago? If Brevard is to keep up
her reputation as a summer resort
and secure her portion of the sum
mer tourists, it is necessary tha^ some
advertising matter be sent out either
through the press or by pamphlets.
Let the committee which was appoint
ed to devise ways and means for this
advertising get busy and let’s have
more visitors here this summer than
ever before.
YOUR HEALTH
The Asheville Times of last Sunday
devoted twelve pages to a special ad
vertising campaign of Asheville and
surroundings, illustrated with many
interesting photos of buildings and
water falls, which was very attractive
and timely.
I was very much impressed by the
article in issue of week before last
signed M. C. J. The writer is no
doubt a woman, for mere man could
not state the case as fully. .Some
may ask what has such a subject to
do with the public health? Why,
everything. A writer of some fame
says: “Civilized men may live with
out books, but he cannot live without
cooks.” This is true for the welfare
of the human race depends upon the
proper selection and preparation of
food. Allow me to digress and say
that conveniences and labor saving
appliances for women have not kept
pace with those for men on the farm,
at any rate. It is true that men,
due to changed conditions, have been
forced to adopt them. This could be
stated for women also. Mr. Craig,
when governor of North Carolina,
which is in a front rank for the case
of children, said that he hoped to see
the day when every woman in the
state has running water in her house.
May he live to see it. We are begin
ning to see how important the chil
dren are and how dependent their
' j;rowing bodies are upon proper foods
I
! well prepared and cooked. It may be
' ar-rued that the plan suggested by
your correspondent would cost a con
siderable amount of money, but that
which is worth while cannot be ob
tained without cost. Probably no
similar amount of money spent would
yield as large returns, first from a
standpoint of health and then too,
from the conservation of foodstuffs,
a consideration worth while. An old
I saying states that “Health is Wealth.”
I This, like so many old proverbs, is
full of truth.
I am sure that all mothers desire
j whatever is best for their children
I and have an underlying hope that the
i
childrens’ lives shall surpass their
own in comfort and well-being, but
many mothers lack training along the
lines suggested. Let the women of
Transylvania county get behind the
movement and its success is assured.
Very sincerely,
W. J. WALLIS,
County Health Officer.
The Legislature should not adjourn
without passing a State-wide good
roads bill that means something *to
the counties of North Carolina. The
burning question before the people
of this state at present is that of
good roads. The farmers are pro
ducing the necessities of life and city
folks desire means of reaching then;.
Let us have good roads at any rea
sonable cost.
A CARD OF THANKS
If you are a poultry raiser, read
“Poultry Points” as they shall appear
occasionally in this paper. Rev. W. E
Poovey is an authority, not simply be
cause he is a Methodist preacher, but
because he is a breeder of fine birds.
From a flock of fourteen hens he has
received 478 eggs and hatched 30
chicks during the months of Jan. and
Feb., therefore what he says this
week in “Winter-laying” should have
weight.
I wish to extend my many, many
thanks to the friends who so willingly
and generously assisted me in the
contest. Some helped m'orc than oth
ers, but nevertheless, the smallest
amount was appreciated from the
depths of my heart, for it helped me
to win one of the valuable prizes. I
shall ever remember their kindness
in not only^<^ays, but years to come.
I also wish to thank the Contest Man-
Catarrh Cannot Be Cured

APPRECIATES HELP OF FRIENDS
To the many friends and neighbors
who by their numberless acts of kind
ness brightened the last hours of my
husband’s life and comforted me in
my bereavement, I wish to offer these
words of heartfelt appreciation.

OUT OF BUSINESS
Attack Of Grippe Left Nashville Man
So Weak He Could Hardly Get
Around— Tanlac Soon Restored
Health.
“I know from my own experience
that Tanlac deserves all the praise peo
pie are giving it,” said L. A. Gupton,
a well known business man living at
135 Seventh avenue. North, Nashville
Tenn.
“After returning from a trip West
with my wife, I had a bad siege of
grippe, which left me in the worst fix
I ever was in. I lost about twenty-
five pounds and got so weak that I
could hardly get around. My stomach
would not retain the food I ate and I
went steadily down hill. I had always
been healthy and stout, and this weak
ened condition almost put me out of
business.
“This Tanlac has certainly restored
my health. I began taking it on the
advice of friends who knew my con
dition and I started gaining back my
weight right away. I now feel as good
and strong as I ever felt in my life
and every sign of the grippe is gone.
I am building up every day and get
ting stronger and heavier. It is noth
ing but right that I should recommend
Tanlac, for it has put me in splendid
condition.” ^
Tanlac is sold in Brevard by Duck
worth Drug Co.; in Sapphire by J. T.
Harrison, Jr., in Davidson River by
J. J. Patton & Son. and by all tood

That the fertiliser moverment has
been slow this year and that conges
tion of traffic is probable unlen farm
ers put in their orders at once, is the
burden of a statement issued yester
day by Regional Railroad Director
Winchell, which is as follows.
“Please let*me say a word to our
former patrons.
“The normal yearly movement of
fertilizers in this region runs from
three million to five million tons. This
means, in round figures, 160,000 car
loads to be handled.
“Ordinarily most of this very large
item of traffic is thrown on the rail
roads in the months of January, Feb
ruary and March. Great activity on
their part is necessary to handle the
same well. *
“By February 10 at least 40 per
cent of the whole fertilizer tonnage
has usually been shipped, but this
year less than 13 per cent has moved
so far; that is to say, the movement
up to date is about 50,000 cars short
of what it should have been.
“It is easy for you to see what I
fear.
“A flood of business at the last mo
ment cannot be moved to the satisfac
tion of our patrons and complaints
will surely follow. We are anxious to
avoid complaints, but it is obvious
that we cannot move all this tonnage
at one time. In order to do this job
right it is necessary that it be well
distributed throughout the whole
three months.
“During the past four or five weeks
car conditions and weather have been
favorable, but the fertilizers have not
moved freely and immediate activity
is now necessary to avoid a condition
which will be serious alike to the farm
ers and the railroads.”
