Many of the North
Carolina
teachers need to be taught a few
lessons themselves. It is getting
to be too common for a teacher
to seek a certain position and be
chosen for it and then accept a
position elsewhere which offers a
little more money, and often at a
time when it cau.es trouble and
inconvenience to the first school.
When a teacher seeks a position
he or she should be one who has
not sought work and been chosen
elsewhere or whose application
for work elsewhere is pending.
It is not fair nor right. When a
teacher has been chosen to a posi
tion which he or she has sought,
this teacher should at least serve
out the term for which he or she
was chosen. It is beginning to
look like the trustees of the va
rious institutions will have to lay
down some rules governing the
election of teachers in order to
be sure to know where they are
at. And do not many of the
churches 'have like trouble with
preachers? Of course what is
said here does not apply to cases
where a satisfactory arrangement
is made for release.
It has been suggested, and the
suggestion has struck many as a
good one, that during the next
term of our court, which begins
Monday, the judge be petitioned
to adjourn court for one day and
with the grand jury take a drive
oyer some of the public roads of
the county. It is believed that
if the judge and the jury got
back alive there would be "some
thing doing" towards better roads
in Burke.
The farmers' institute held at
the Court House in Morganton
yesterday was well attended, des
nite the inclement weather, and
the talks to farmers, and farmers'
wives were listed to with marked
attention. We wish every farm
er and farmers' wife in the
county could have heard the ad
dresses. The State is doing
great work in these farmers'
stitutes.
We would call attention to the
bad condition of Forest Hill
cemetery washouts in the drive
ways and walk-ways and weeds
and grass grown to unsightly
height. Work is badly needed
there, and we wonder what has
become of the movement started
several years ago to improve the
cemetery.
Disagreement Has Brought About Many
Fads.

Down his asophuy U3 !"
Monroe Journal.
A well known physician, who
has given over the all-medicine
practice for a combination of
medicine and mental healing, says
that many a sick man has come
tohim from half a dozen other
reputable physicans, every one
I of whom had given a different
diagnosis of his case, and that he
himself was compelled to give
still a different one. Every ob
servant man has known of like
cases. This well known disagree
ment of the doctors gives ground
for dozens of health formula fads,
which are as plentiful as religious
fads. There are the all-eaters
and the no-eaters; the vegetable
eaters and the meat eaters; the
all-medicine and the no-medicine
advocates: the homeopaths, the
osteopaths; the no-clothes and the
11-clothes wearers, the open air
and the indoor practitioners; the
all-bathers and the no-bathers.
You read of a certain case of
cure where all else has failed,
and its advocate will tell you that
he has found a cure-all. The next
doctor will have another scheme
directly opposite. But there can
be no doubt that improper diet is
responsible for three-fourths of
the ills of the body. Animals,
given liberty to select their own
ood, are never sick.' Man is only
an animal in his physical make
up, and most of his troubles come
rom the abuses that are a result
of a departure from the simple
requirements of the animal
nature. Modern food is all pre-
iDared with the single view of
alatableness, not healthfulness.
Hence the thousands of ills that
ormerly did not exist. The
wonderful advancement that
science has made in sanitation
ana treatment ot disease seems
to be about offset by the im
prudent living and eating in mod
ern lif 2. Smallpox, yellow fever
and other great scourges of olden
times have been conquered, but
their place is being taken by ap
pendicitis, diabetes and tuber
culosis, and it is now even claim
ed, cancer. Fletcherism, which
is now so much written of, is the
sanest of all modern fads which
have come along. This is nothing
more than the proper chewing of
food, and takes its name from
one Fletcher, its chief advocate
Everywhere, from the King of
England down, people are trying
its virtues. Mr. Fletcher claims
that if you will only eat in mod
eration and chew every bit of it
to a pulp or liquid, you will never
be sick. Food should be taken
in smaller mouthfuls than ordi
nary, and every mouthful should
be chewed till it "swallows it
self, " so to speak. If this is done
not only will less food be re
quired, hunger will be more
quickly appeased, but you vvil
live longer and always be well.

House Adopts Conference Report on
Tariff Bill.
Waihinpton Dispatch, July 31t.
The House to-night adopted
the conference report on the
tariff bill, 195 to 183. The Re
publicans shrieked m their ce
light over the final outcome, and
Chairtnan Payne was the centra
figure of an admiring and con
gratulatory crowd of colleagues,
Twenty Republicans voted
against the report, two Demo
crats for it.
The vote was the climax of an
11-hour session, conducted
through most oppressive heat-
but enlivened by a dozen or more
speeches of more or less fiery
nature. The galleries wrere filled
The day opened with what ap
peared to be an organized filibus
ter against the conference report
when Mr. Mondel, of Wyoming,
demanded the reading of the
lengthy document. This pro
ceeded for about an hour and ;
half, when with about two-third
remaining to be read, Mr. Mon
i -i ill -i i i
dell permitted the aeoate to go
on.
Chairman Payne defended the
report and appealed to his Re
publican colleagues to support it
prophesying at the same time
that when the bill wras enacted
into law it would meet the ap
proval of the country.
Mr. Clark, minority leader,
and many of his colleagues de
nounced the bill, and chastised
the Republicans for failing, a
they alleged, to revise the tarifi
downward and thus keep their
pai'ty pledges.
Perhaps the most sensational
speech of all was by Mr. Mann
of Illinois, Republican, who saio
e would vote against the report

Old Excuses
Accepted.
Topcka, Kansas. Dispatch. Aug. aid.
The jrood old toothache
excuse won't do anv more in
the State of Kansas, for the law
prohibiting the sale of liquors
by druo-g-ists is now in effect.
The new law will be
particularly hard on farmers
who suffer from neuralgia,
bunions, stomachache, ingrow-
iny toenails, or heart failure1
and who need a "bracer" to
put them right.
"There will be 'to let' signs
on many apothecaries' shops
in a few days," said an
indignant farmer tonight;
"and, by gum, it's an outrage.
Thev have made it impossible
for doctors to prescribe
medicine. W ould they s-tand
for such a thing at Coney
Island? I guess not; not by a
jugful!."
Another law which went into
effect to-night is one barring
boys under fourteen from
messenger service; also one
requiring cities to preserve
the purity of the water of the
streams in their vicinity.
"les, they want to give us
plentv' of clean water,
groaned a farmer. "Little
did we dream that when Car
rie Isation started the rumpus
here a few vears ago it would
come to this."

The Roberts, Johnson &
Rand Shoe Company started
in business a little less than
eleven years ago. They
were determined from the
!
beginning that the "Star" trademark!
which appears on the heel of every shoe
that they make should become an em.
blem of honesty and supremacy in slice
manufacturing. They were determined
that no one should ever have an oppcr-
tunity to doubt the fact that "Star Brand
Shoes are Better."
Their unequaled record shows what
can be accomplished when a set of men
get together and determine to make an
article that is superior to any similar ar
ticle on the market.
The success of their honest "Star Brand" shoes and Lon
est methods was instantaneous. Their business has growi
steadily each year, in fact this Company has had the mos
phenomenal growth of any shoe house in the world.
The "Star Brand" Shoe Company has eleven immens
specialty factories the largest group of high grade sho
making plants owned and operated by any one shoe mnm
f acturer in the world.
Only nineteen traveling salesmen represented the orgai
ization when it began business, but now their travel ir
force numbers over one hundred salesman who cover 1
parts of this and many foreign countries.
There are over 5000 people employed by this great sh
making concern. These "Star Brand" shoe workers vi
their families, the butcher, the baker and the candle-sti
maker, would make a city of 25,000 or 30,000 peop
Think what a wonderfully big body of people this really

The "Star Brand" shoe sales for the year closing Dt

Two different years the gains in shipments amounted
more than two million dollars. These are records nc-
equalled by any other shoe house in the world.
It is truer now than it has ever been, that "Star Bra
Shoes Are Better." You will find in our shoe departme:
