To the County Superintendents and the I'uulic.School Teach ers: The puttie pr-es of North Car olina has always repouded gen erously and uuselfUhly to every call of the public schools for ser vice, and no agency his been more potent in promoting the development ol th"te schools and the progress of education in the State. The county sunnteud e;it and public school teachers now have au opportunity to ex preKH their appreciation of thin service, and to render at the same time a valuable service to a most worthy cause by co-oper-atiiig heartily with th ''Bill Nye Memorial Committee" in their commendable effort to false funds for the erection of a cen tral or main building at the 'Stonewall Jackson Ma nuel Trai ning School," to lekno n an the "Bill Xye Memorial Building." The committee has prepared an interesting program for the celebration of Bill Nye Day in the public schools. An hour de voted to honoring the memory of such a man, who loved a 1 1 children and all men, ho devoted his splendid talents to making them happier and better through his writings, will be properly and profitably spent. I earnestly request and urge the county superintendent of each county to distribute these programs to the public school teachers of the couuty. accompa nied by a letter to each teacher, directin the setting apart of an hour in the school for this cele bration, and urging the co-oper ation of the teacher for the suc cess of the celebration. The noble work of the Stone wall Jackson Training Schjol for giving wavward boys of the State a chance to have a chance to be trained into good c:tizins should appeal strongly to the hearts of the children of the pub lic schools, who but for the mpr cy of God might be like these wayward boys. It is a privilege, therefore, for these children to have an opportunity to make a contribution to mich a work. It will do them good. I earnestly ure, therefore, that county su perintendents and teachers hmd their hearty co-operation in se curing at least a penny contribu tion Irom every child in the pub lic schools for the erection of the Bill Nye Memorial Building for increasing the facilities at the State's school for training way ward boys. I designate Wednesdy, the 22nd day of February, for this celebration. I suggest that the teachers devote an hottr on this day to reading to the pupils this booklet and to arousing an en thusiastic interest in Bill Nye and his work and in the work of the Stonewall Jackson Training School, concluding the exercises with an earnest appeal for a con tribution ol at least one penny from ever child, to be brought next morning. All contributions should be for warded by the teacher or t h e principal of the school to Mr. It. W. Vincent, Secretary of the BUI Nye Memorial Committee, Charlotte, N. C, and they will be acknowledged in the columns of the Charlotte Observer. , Very truly yours, J.Y. JOYNER, Supt. of Public Instructions.

A Basilic Or Live Wire. Fannie M. Wood in Farm Journal. The telephone is a wonderful time-saving thing for the farmer. When we think of all it does for us, the coot seems very sma'l. Here in Indiana the other day, a farmer saw a strange man enter ing the houne of his neighbor w ho was ajay Irom home. By means of i he telephone he gathered a posne and the thief was soon cap tured. It was dincovered, later, that he had robbed several farm bouses in the neighborhood. We see no logical reason do you? why a prositerous farmer should put nil his money in the bank n nd let the epmr of farm buildings, fences, etc., Ie neglect ed. Money and time are weH spent in keeping up farm build ings and fences. It's all right to save something, ax we go along for a rainy day; but there is more pleasure for the whole family in a smaller bank account, and in having things neatly kept to improve rather than to deter iorate. If there is any place where a bachelor is like one-hjtlf a pair of scisHors with the rivet lost, it is on the farm. ' Ihe most impor tant part of the farmer's equip ment is a good wife to help him along life's journey. To the young farmer who is thinking of coaxing some good, capable girl to share his lot, I should Bay, plan to make her a part equal with yourself. What belongs to the other, Many a wife has to plead for the needful things of life after doing her share of the hard work. I would talk over farm prob lems with my wife, it I were you. Her suggestions may help you, and it she is like many others, she needs, or perhaps will need, to know more about managing farm work. The farmer's wife should know enough about farm work to carry on the work to carry on the work if thrown on her own resources by the death of the husband. So many wo men who have lived all their lives on a farm are not qualified to take up the work of managing a farm. No profit in feeding an army of rats. Keep more cats, not as pets around the bouse, but (or rat-traps. Feed them new milk twice a day at the barn. Never feed them at the house, if you don't want to be bothered with them around the door. Cats are like chickens, they can be spoilt by throwing out scraps at the back door. When the first little chickens make their appearance, increase the cats' allowance of milk, and make them "bike" it you see them about the chicken coops. The young cats will soon get lined to the chicks and b arn that tliey are not to bother them. If you haye a good article to sell it is all right to advertise it, but be sure that you'ean deliver the goods according to specifi cations. An old lady has just been telling me about a certain insect powder that was widely adyertise a few years ago. In destroying cockroaches it was supposed to be especially effect ive. A woman who was having a good deal of trouble with these "critters" went to a Btore and called tor some of this powder. The clerk was weighing out the required amount, when the sur face of the heap began to act as if it were alive, and soon two big fat cockroackes crawled out. They had been living in the pow der that was supposed to be sure death to them.

Wilkeboro Chronicle. Mr. James A. Robertson, of Durham, who published the Winston Leader, during tne clo sing days ol Judge Cloud's lite, writes an interesting little story to the National Monthly about Judge Cloud. It reads hs follows: He was a native horned and was celebrated for his "common senKe," yet in character, Ian guaae and expression he was us rough an the mountain side pin ia spoken and often rude. He was a diamond in the rough. One common characteristic was to talk a great deal in an un couth way about things that were not according to his own ideas. Ouce in his life he met bis match in the mountain maid. The judge was extremely par tial to sweet milk. On one occa sion he was taking supper with a well-to do farmer. The hostess knowing his fondness for sweet milk Kent her daughter to the spring house for wbatsbethought would most delight her legal vis itor. The daughter was a well grown buxom mountain lass; fair of face and form, with cheeks like new blown roses. The milk was brought. The weather was warm and the girl had accideutly mixed the fresh milk with some that had been standing. The judge hel(wd himself bountifully; after th first sip, however, he wanted to know who attended to the dairy. The hostens proudly iinq' formed him that that duty fell upon her daughter. The girj wus waiting on the table handing around steaming biscuits in a wooden tray. Her sleeves were rolled up to the elbow and her elbow and her plump, dimpled arms had the appearance of health, vigor and strength. The judge did not like the milk and blurted out iu his churateristic manner: ''See thar, now! See tharl Sour milk! Mixed morning's milk with fresh milk. If I had 'er gnl that hadn't no more fense than that, I'd spank her. Yes, I'd xpank 'er well, spank 'er blue, spank 'er till I learnt 'er some sense. The idea of mixing old milk with new; see tharl" And thus he continued for some time. The lass, who had been a silent listener, blushed with resentment, and with deter mination flashing from her black eyes, like sparks Irom the anvile, placed the tray of biscuits on the table, and baring her rkhc arm to the shoulder, walked up. facing the judge, and shaking her fist in his face, remarked with vehemen ce. "Jedgeorno Jedge; d you jest try it now!" The judge raised his large blue eyes in astonishment, and gazd intently at his fair mountain cha lenger. Not another word was said about sour milk. When he left he remarked to her mother: 'Thar now! that s a fine gal of your'n! Fine gal, plucky gall" Life Saved At Death's Door. "1 nevei felt so near my grave," writes W. R. Patterson, of Wel lington, Tex., as when a frightful cough am' lung trouble pulled me down to loo pounds, in spite of doc tor's treatment for two years. My father, mother and two sisters died of consumption, and that I am alive today is due solely to Dr. King's New Discovery, which completely cured me. Now I weigh 1S7 lbs. and have been well and strong for years." Quick, safe, sure, its the best remedy on earth for coughs, colds, lagripee, asthma, croup, and all throat and lung troubles. 50c & $1.00. : Trial bottle free Guaran teed by all druggists.

Mr. Eiutor: I wish to give your readers my short eiri ence in hog-raising since March, 1909. In that mouth I bought a pair ol Duroc pigs, nr:d on August the sow farrowed 7 pigs, which I sold for $30, Then on April 2, she mothered a litter of 10 whih I sold for $30.50, and on Sept. 14 she brough forth 12 pigs lost three of which I sold 5 for f 25, leaving four still on hand. So rating them at the same price at which the others sold, the sow paid me $131.50, and during the same time the male paid me $ 65.50, making a total ol $197 Then after feeding the two pa rent hogs sixty days, feeding them 29 bushels of corn, L but chered and weighed them and the pair netted 785 pounds. The lard, after being renderad out, weighed 82 pqunds. Sly experience with the two hogs was as follows: I put them in the pen on Nov. 17, one weigh ing 294 pound and the other 204 pounds. On Dec. 17, 1 weigh ed them again and one had gain ed 97 pounds and the other bad gained 115, making a gain of 212 pounds. During the next thirty days they gained 210 pounds making a total gain of 422 pounds in sixty days, being weighed the last time after they had been killed and blead. W. W. Blackrthn.
