WA1 AUG A DEMOCRAT. R. C. Rivers, Proprietor. Tuuksday August 29, 1907. TbeHifh School kuin. ' . Superintendent J. Y. Joyner will eive some litrh on the eubiect: ' "Supt. B. B. Dougherty, - : Boone, N. C. "DeabSir: In reply to your . letter or Aug. lath, I beg to ay that all money raised in the lo- coi aiBinci ana appropriated by the State for the aid of public hitrh schools must be used for that nnrnnoA ATnliiaivnlv. float.hn law on this point. 'Whoever has charge of the high school would would have to hold a High School Teacher's certificate, covering the usual subjects and Latin nnd Greek. Any other who teach in the hitch a v school must have a High School Teacher's Certificate covering the subjects taught. The State Board of Examiners have been requir ing college training and as much as one years experience in high school work. Formal applica tion should come to this office from the principal at once. With best wishes for continu ing success, and hoping to see you at Mon treat, I am very truly yours, J. T. Joyner, Bupt. Public Instructions? flia onnJUiA.. 1 X . Auc vuuuiviuiu are uoiuevruau HBerent,to what we once thought. The money raised by local tax or private donations must be used for instructions in the higher branches. Teachers must be prepared well to undertake this work. The ad vantages come in by giving free tuition to all student who have completed the public school course. The people of the county should become interested in this matter, and have something to say aoout raising the money and . locating the school. Finally those most interested are the people i'Vi ft Vara jV ?U S lLAQiL fjL . niiu uaiuiuuru Ml UllfOMl, VliU and 10th grades. Before any com miimtv ran fualr in hnru fri tw school, it should have teachers with Hieh School Cirtificates and raise $250.00 for high school work, and have ten students , the high school course. What do the people of thecoun tylsaj? Let us hear from vou. The matter must be settled quiet v Very respectfully B. B. Dougherty. While the Repulican political kettle is already boiline. boiling over in some instances, the Demo crats are calmly surveying the Situation, confident that, thar is plenty of time before their na tional, convention, and determin- d to prOffit by any mistakes their j)ouwcai opponents may make. Mr. Bryan's friends are rejoiced at the attention paid to their leader by Secretary Taft, and ar gue that Mr. Taft and the Presi dent muet be confident that Mr. Bryan is to be the next Demo cratic candidate. A report has recently been whispered about Washington , to the effect that Mr. Bryan will not accept an other nomination if Secretary Taft is the choice of the Republi can convention, and that he has made a deal with W. R. Hearst ' tnat if Taft Is nominated, Hearst shall have the Democratic nnmi- uuruuu, wuiie ii nay oiner jttepuD Jicau is named, Bryan is to have it It is impossiible to confirm the story, some Democratic poli ticians affirmiug it with empha sis, whereas others deny it ab solutely... . i.: t!i. . ji The Presideut has approved the provisions of the Armv craH. oated pay bill, which will be Tntro dnced next session, and which provides for increases of pay for the army as follows: Lieutenant general, 10 per cent, major and captains and lieutenants, 25 per cent: And enlisted men nnil tir.n. rommissioned offlceis.30 percent. It is expected that this hill, with itowjiMy some modifications, will become a law next session. ' The luociatlos- - The Three . Forks Association convened with the church here ot 10 a. m. Tuesday, theintroducto ry Merman being preached io a packed bonse by the Rev. Harri son Farthing, which was fully en ioved bv his many hearers. The 0 V business session in the afternoon was very interesting, the church es embraced by the Association all, or-nearly all, being represen ted. The Methodists having ten dered the body the use of their buildme. it was announced that the Rev. Hight C. Moore, of Ral eigh, would preach there at night. Hi? theme was 4,The Crucifixion," and the large crowd in attend ance was held in almost brenth less silence while the minister dt livered a sermon that will long be remembered by all who heard it as one of great power. At 0, a. m., Wednesday, lor the accommodation of the large crowd expected, the business see- sionjwasjopened in the court house which was soon packed to over flowing. RevBradshawof Wilkes boro. and others, made tthoit but very interesting talks on mis sions and other subjects of inter est to the assembly. At 11. a. m., for the accommo dation of the large crowds una ble to tain admission into the court house, Rev.tl. R. Norrie, a ataua boy, was given an ap point men in the M.E. church and delivered a mostexcellentBermon to a large congregation. In the afternoon the same pulpit was filled quite acceptably by Rev. Pardueof Wilkes county, while the Association was in session in the court house. At night t n e business session was held in the church, and the time was con sumed by educational speeches delivered by Rev, L. C. Wilson, Prof. B. B. Dougherty' and the scholarly editor ol Charity and Children. The speeches were very much enjoyed by all. ; As we close our forms the Asso elation is still in session but will close this afternoon. The attend ance has been unusually large, the best of order has prevailed, the large concourse oi people has been well cared ior, and our peo ple are gratified that they had the opportunity ol entertaining this great religious gathering. What they term the "spine less character" of Secretary Taft'e advocacy of the tariff revision is qroving a eource of comfort to many Democrats who believe that the country is now ripe for genuine tariff revision along Dem ocratic lines. Mr. Taft, it will be remembered, advocates a revis ion 01 the tana at a special ses sion of Congress to be called for the purpose immediately after March 4, 1309, but he asserts his belief that the tariff should be re- yised along protection lines, and that doubtless means that the protected pets of the republican party must not be permitted to suffer any great inconvenience The Massachusetts Republican papers are greatly upset because the men they i-egard as mose likely to be the presidenential candidaue of their pnrtr is not more emphatic in hi declara tions that the tarifl should be re vised downward, although they try to nnd some comfort in the fact that he openly and frankly advocates some kind of revision. HOMES IN THE SOUTHWEST. There will be a meeting of the people at Trade, Tenn., on 'Aucr. 31 , 1907, to form a colony to co to the south-west in the near 'fu ture; to consider land proposi tions, to decide on a location and send representatives to investi gate and report. : , R. S.-Russell. Traveling pass enger Agent of the Frisco & Rock island Railway will be present to give the people information in re gard to transportation, etc. All person interested in form ing this colony, or who desire in formation in regard to'the south west, ahoulrl be present. , T. E. P. LARIMER. A Tiit to Watapfa. ? Having heretofore attended the A. T.S.; at Boone, N. C.two summers, (1905-6) and having just returned from a few day's visiting in Watauga county, and if the editor will allow me space, I will say something just a few words relative to both, my trip to Watauga and the educational facilities of one of North' Caro lina's most' beautiful sections that of western North Caroli na!.; ' I do not doubt that if all things were considered, this section ban developed more along education al lines during the last decade than any other section of the State, more especially Watauga county, a. 1. o. at Boone, needs no comment, it speaks for itself. not only in western North Caro lina, but throughout the State as well. There are several other larce scnoois m the county also. Mast Seminary and Cove Creek Acad emy are also prosperous points. Dunne my trio in Watanim I happened to be present at the opening 01 Walnut Grove Insti tute, and think it would be a remiss if I should fail in this lit tie sketch, to mention the same. At Walnut Grove, an almost an beautiful a site as I have ever seen for a school buildiner. Stands Walnute Grove Institute, a new building which was erected bv the citizens within a mile of it bv ori- vate subscription. A year ago they Voted a special Bchool tax to the limit of the law for s i x years. The building has five good rooms, wnicn are conveniently arranged for school work and entertainments. The school is under the supervision of Profa. Clarence Smith, of Penn., and E. r . .Hoppers, of Whitehead, N. C. Walnute Grove is in the "Garden Spot" of Wataugacounty. Every one is, or should be proud of a good school wherever it is loca ted. ' My trip to Watauera was a splendid outing for me and I en joyed it very much. M. F. Chouse. Sparta, N. C, Aug. 17. Governor Magoon is about to promulgate in Cuba, with the approval of the President and the Secretary of War, a decree creating a national bureau of srnitation which shall have power to prescribe and enforce sanitary regulations throughout the is land. Governor Magoon has found that the local administra tion of sanitary matter, which was prbxided during the former American occupation of Cuba, is not to be relied upon, and to-day the island is threatened with a serious outbreak of yellow fe ver. Sanitary regulations and precautious are naturally a lack 01 appreciation of the responci bilities devolving upon them, or tnougn being too amenable to local influence, having permitted most unsanitary conditions to exist-It is believed, however, that with a national sanitarv board to make the regulations and to enforce them, all further danger can be eliminated. The authority to issue and to enforce this decree, even after the present occupation of Cuba shall have ceased, is found in Section five of Piatt Amendment. . The Limit of Life. The most eminent medical scien tists are unanimous in the conclusion that the' generally accepted limita tion of human life is many years be low the attainment possible with the advanced knowledge of which the race is now possessed. The criticr period, that determines if duration seems to be between co and 60: the proper care of the body during this decade cannot be too strongly urged: carelessness then being fatal to Ion? evity. Nature's best helper after 50, is Electric Bitters, the scientifi tonic medicine that revitalizes every organ of the body. Guaranteed by all drug gists. 50c. OASTOniA.
