Disappearing One After Another, ; $ay a Writer. ' ' ; The.conrast between the status of thess Moslem women and the position of women in Turkey . proper grows steadily. In fact, the restrictions sur rounding Turkish women disappear more 'and more almost daily. Four years ago the Turkish woman hop per irr Pera used to throw her veil back while in the European quarter, but would draw il over her face imme diately on crossing the bridge to Stamboul. Today the hanoum of the upoer class hardly wears the veil at .all. It. hangs down from the side of Ihc charshaf in a knot, and figures merely as an ornament. A number of Moslem girls of the Turkish" capital have become pupils of Robert college, the American school picturesquely situated 'on the 'hills of Bebek, by the Bosporus. The , number of Turkish women active in .professions has greatly increased, During my recent visit to Constanti--nople I found that a young lady whom y had first met six years before had : ut two terms left to attain the degree jbf. doctor of philosophy, with the ultimate' aim of entering government service, The rare abilities of Halide : Edib Hanoum, the well-kiown Turk ish woman author, have been re warded by her nomination as minister of public instruction in the Turkish cabinet at Angora.

Phone 42 Deaf Brethren; There is a' matter of vital and vast importance, which demands the immediate, and prayer ful attention of every one of us, viz : At a meeting of the Southern Bap tist Convention in Atlanta, Ga., near five years since, there was a prayer offered by Dr. M.ullins, in which, without having consulted any one or previous meditation, he was movd to ask God to give to the agencies of the Baptists of the South seventy five million dollars to be expended in the interest of the Lord's Kingdom in five years. This moved upon the hearts of those who heard the prayer, and upon the hearts of the people so vigorously, that not only the amount ( asked for was promised, but seven teen millions in excess. . At which a great shout of victory went up from all over the land. To our everlasting shame only about forty-eight mil lions of the amount has been paid and more than four years of the time is gone.' There arc' twenty-seven mil lions yet to raise if we even reach the seventy-live million, to say noth ine of the ninety-two, which were sole.iinly promised to God, not to )rl(t are aware of theebb in financial matters, but there wis not L sufficient falling off to justify the flcnormous balance now found out standing against tne solemn pieugcs niade by the people who profess to love God and His cause more than they love life. It ought not to' be so. We are not, as an association re sponsible for all this deficit, but we are responsible for our proportionate amount. From what can be seen from statistics all over the country the delinquency is about upon an average. There must be something done. We must rally our forces. We cannot acord to let the cause suffer the great loss it must, if we fall down on our promises. If, on an average, each one .who pledged will pay 75 of the amount pledged the seventy five million will be raised and more, and we will have saved the day, and our credit, will rise in the market to an aooreciablc extent. But the main thintr is to save the interests' of the denomination which are being fos tered' by this fund, many of which will go to the wall unless our pledges arc oaid.' The writer has not been informed as to what character of campaign will be made in this State nor in our Association, but it makes no difference to us whether there be any, it is our solemn duty to sec to it that our pledges are as nearly paid as it' is in our power to pay them; We understand all the objections. Tt is not worth while to raise any ob jections nor to make any exaiser-tJ nlcdee was made to God. It does n relieve any one. of the obligation to sav that the money has. taken a wrong dirtction. We made Our pledges iaiowing that we did not I inavej4Te directing or me iuihis, uui HnHrfwas left to the wisdom of those into whose hands they had been g.iv en. So, let the brethren in the Ma con County Association take account of the situation and see to it that we do not come short of the proportion ate amount that will be expected from us. Let each one who sub scribed to the fund take account of the amount he hasaid and if he has not paid in full maki a strong effort to pay it. If he caniot payall, why, then pay all he 'efan. Many, when they see how muchl there is behind, become discouraged and will not try to do anything. That, to say the least of ft,' is cowardly. Don't let any of Macon County's good people act cowafdly. Let's come to the front and be men, out and out, for God and the great cause w represent. Brethren, let's pay what we .are going to pay and have this campaign done with. Then we shall be ready for something -eke We will nev,cr nave the self-fespect nor confidence in ourselves, we should have, in order to succeed 'in any undertaking, until we, have done with this, matter. Come now, let's perform the doing of it. Very truly yours, 1 : G. A. BARTLETT. County Summer School For Teachers A statement appeared some time ago to the effect that there woulJ be only. six shmmer schools in North Carolina this year. .This is true as to STATE SUMMER SCHOOLS, The County Summer Schools will be con ducted this year as they have been in the. past. The one for Macon County will begin May 19th, and con-, tinue for six weeks ending June 27, County Summer Schools, as well as State Summer Schools, are regulated by the State Department of Educa tion at Raleigh. The rules for this year, as to who may 'enter, have not been formulated. So soon as they arc received they will be published in the Press. I take it for granted there will be little change from last year. There is a constant tendency to raise the standard of efficiency, and the most important change to be expect ed is that no one will be admitted who has not previously taught, unless the applicant can show evidence of at cast eight units ofctual high scflool work in some accredited high school. This will likely be' the mini mum, and it may be even higher than ti,nf f n err iTwr.c ' County Superintendent YOU CAN'T KEEP FARI.IERS DOWN Why is it that Farmers1 keep right on being successful in the fact of adversity? It is not "luck." It is the use of plain horse sense, enduring pluck, and hard work. , His horse sence leads him to buy the most modern implements obtainable. His pluck and his hard work enable him to use them to best idvantage. ' We are showing a wonderful line of modern implements for the farmer. They are the means of wresting success from adversity, and the price is within the reach of all. " ' . Have you feen these implements?
