FRIDAY, JAN. 19:1), 1912 Hog and Hominy Forever. Under this caption the Char lotte Observer has a strong arti ticle on the raising of hogs and the amount imported from other 6tates. ' Last year North Carolina im ported $7C(D.OOO worth of hog: products from other states in order to meet the demand, and our worthy contemporary raises the question whether pigs can be raised in North Carolina suf ficient to meet the demand and with facts and figures shows that the best can be raised here, . Mr. Moore raised hogs that bave been sold at $33 per head and he has offered a pig to the ' boy that will raise the largest number of bushels of corn on an acre at the least cost. We are sure that if the farmers of Madi son county should come to real ize the profits that are in hogs they would try to raise more. It was our experience once to talk with a farmer who said he counted his hogs as the profit of thelfarmand he raised them in sufficient quantity to pay big profits. The "corn and other things raised.'paid expenses and fed the hogs that gave him much clear profit. It is a!shame,!as"our cotempo rary says, that it is insulting to our pride that seven million dollars worth of "foreign" pork products should be sold in North Caroiina. It is a shame that the people of Madison county have to buy these products outside. Think on these things. BILLION-DOLLAR SCHOOLS. The amount of money invested in schools in this country has in creased enormously during th last decade. The value of pub lie school Drorcertv. which was about $550,000,000 in 1900, had doubled ten years later. During the same period the annual income increased from $220,000,000 to $425,000,000 while the annual appropriations to teachersrgrew from $2,769, 000 to $6,620,000." The average length of the public school term was extended from Hi to 156 days, and the average . attend ance of children enrolled increas edfrom 99 to 114 dsys. The -public high schools, which num bered 6,005 in 1900, were 10,213 in number in 1910. The number of teachers in those schools ad vanced ; from u about 20,000 to more than 41,000, while the total number of "public school teach ers increased from 423,000 to 512,000 in the course of the dec ade. '''L,: , -,The salaries of 'teachers were augmented during the ten-year period, those of men teachers Increasing from $46.50 per month in ,1900 to $65 per month in 1910, and those of women teachers from $34 to 52 per month. The number of pupils in high schools showed a marked gain, number ing 900,000 in 1910, as compared with 852,000 in 1900.- . . The productive tuna ot uni versities, colleges and technical schools increased from $166,175, 000 to $273,423,uuu, ana tne an nual income of those Institutions from sources other than endow ment was augmented from $28, 603,000 to $77,800,000 in the ten year" period. 1 The students' in those estab lishments grew in number from 110,000 to 183,000 and the in fitructors from 7,300 to 17,000. Ia the higher educational insti tutions it will be noticed the in ert ise in the number of teachers v s proportionately greater than t' i growth in the. number of .' !.-r.ts. Bra. 'street's. , ... i ho- "- Every school district in Madi son county should have a special tax for schools. Fourteen al ready have and they aro having six, seven and eight months school Marshall . p a y I school tax-r-has a special tax and then some of the public spirited men are subscribing and giving each month for a high school. It would pay every district to have a special tax and have school several months more and it will be money well invested. Start the ball a rolling and keep it up. Meeting of Citizens Notwithstanding the inclement weather, quite a number of rep resentative citizens came out to the meeting that was called lRst Friday. Several speeches were made one by Rev. Stabler on the duty of the citizen toward law enforcement, and by Rev Goode on Then and' Now, com paring me condition oetore pro hibitiou and after its coming. After this the following resolu tions were adopted: vmereas, me citizens or our towu did vote unanimously for our present prohibition law, and our county almost unanimously, while our state gave a most de cisive majority favorable to it, and whereas suid law has. wher ever enforced, amply justified the claims of its most ardent supporters, by reducing drunken- i . ness anu crime ana giving us instead sobriety, peace and mor ality, and Whereas, in lieu of the still- houses and cross-roads bar-rooms of a few years ago, we now have modern school-houses and church houses, and sections where hu man life was then considered un- saie now ran among our most civil communities. The peonle are happy and contented and pursuing honorable industrial employments, and Whereas, there has recently developed a desire among a cer tain few who have no interest in the welfare of our county beyond their own pockets, to disregard our laws, rob us of the fruits of our victory and restore our county to its former reputation of Bloody Madison," and Whereas, the Federal govern ment is now giving most valu able assistance in running down these boot-leggers and blind tigers, we, the citizens of Mar shall and vicinity, in mass-meeting assembled, do resolve: 1. That we re-affirm our faith in our present prohibition law and. our eternal opposition to blind-tigers and boot-leggers and every other effort to destroy the good effect of this law by whis key selling in every form, and 2. That we commend Revenae Agent R. B. Sams, a native son of Madison, for his hearty cot operation . in putting ,dWn this illegal trafic here; also John Jarrett, D. S. Bowers and Lee Sams, ot the revenue" force, for their high regard for and cour age in doing their official duty and skill in " handling the situ ation here, and 3, That we, individually-and collectively, pledge our hearty moral support as citizens ' to all the officers, both state' and fed era, engage! in law enforco ment, by seeking and reporting all the information we can that will aid them in the discharge of their duties, .and in every other way reasonable to stop the il legal trafic in whiskey and the debauchery of our men and boys Special mention was made in the above resolutions 1 only to tne , lederal officers because it was felt that special praise waj due them for coming to Madison to work when they had so many other places to go, and further that they are prosecuting viola tors rather than accepting the stamp tax and compromising, As was - stated in introducing these resolutions there is no de sire to rcb Sheriff Buckner and other local officers of ' the splen aia recora tney nave made, in the discharge of their duty,' and their work was highly commeild ed by officers of the Good Gov ernment League.
