I have been prompted by an nseen force to try to write a letter to your valuable paper, that should be more liberally oatronized; yes, to the 6 xtjnt of every family being a subscriber and sympathizer, and if abl, a contributor. Then The News Herald wrould be everybody's paper in fact, and not largely Morganton's paper, as it is, and why? Because Morganton buys (subscribes for it) and rays for space in it and occasionally con tributes an article. This makes i i it iook liKe ner paper; out you could (I mean the country folks) make it appear in like manner as your paper by doing as they do, as before stated, and in this way not only would the paper be bettered but all the people of the community or county as well. If every family in the county would take this interest in the paper it would Dring ail tne peo ple in closer touch, and they would all know what things of interest are taking place in the county. To illustrate: Last summer The News-Herald printed the State announcement for farmers' institutes, and to this the editor gave considerable editorial space and in a forceful way set forth the great good that could be gained by attend ing these annual institutes, and the importance of a liberal at tendance. The result was the largest and most enthusiastic in stitute that has ever been held in Morganton, and I am sure a goodly number present were benefitted in dollars many times the price of a year's subscription to The News-Herald, and what would have been the attendance if every family had been a sub scriber and thus learned of the neeting and the importance of . f TT71 illil li i l it vv nat aia tne editor get ior his editorial? The writer at the lose of the meeting extended .1 1 ! 1 11 ! cnanKs to mm. and wmie tms vas proper, 'Thankie will starve a cat. Moral: Hivery iarmer should subscribe to The News- Herald for his common good. But some will say they don't like omething about the paper, and I will say that I have not in the past been in full harmony with the paper; but again I recall the fact that the editor who ran a paper pleasing all has long since died, and were we to undertake the task we would likely succeed less tavoraDiy. bo this is no reason why you should not sub scribe. Try it one year and be convinced of its merits. My article is growing too long, but in this connection I wTant to congratulate the people of Burke county on their forward march along educational lines and to ex press my great satisfaction with an enthusiastic meeting of the board of education held recently, when a number of petitions were before the board asking for chance to vote on local tax dis tricts. It was an inspiration to see the friends of the severa' petitions contending between each other (in a friendly way fcr boundaries, and to now learn that the elections have been held and that the cause of education has triumphed almost unanimous ly is mcst gratifying. And must not fail to mention the commendable zeal displayed by Mr. Lyerly, of Bridgewat ar d Giles of Glen Alpine. Although the former gentleman ' and hi? partner, Mr. Abernethy, pa-, heavy taxes in the district, yt--they, through Mr. Lyerly, earn estly worked for the local tax district. And Mr. Giles, who lives in a local tax district but owning property in the proposed district, not being able to appear before the board until latf hour, wrote a letter to this writ urging the board to do every thing to insure the tax. Such men, who put education above the dollar and thus favor the up lift of the human race, are a precious heritage to any country. They are benefactors to their country, a glory to God, and their names should be perputated in history and song. Space for bids personal mention of the other patriots present, but their names are indelibly fixed in my mind and heart, forming an oasis that will never wither and die. Other local tax districts are pending and I hope the love of money, (the only opposition to this worthy movement,) for a neighborhood opposing education is digging its own grave, and the opposing of public enterprises and education is throwing boquets on its grave. Show me a section without school advan tages and I will show you a good section to move from, and one that only second-class folks can be gotton to move in to take their places. in conclusion, to those who on first thought might be inclined to oppose local taxation, if the neighborhood is good enough for you to live in or make money in, it is the legitimate place for you to spend it in, for the uplift and improvement of it, and with hearty good wishes for local tax ation, and your valuable paper, that we should all join you in making better, I at last close.

Newton Special, 23rd, to Charlotte Observer. Last night shortly after mid night the sale stable belonging to Yount & Wilson, on Pine street, was found to be on fire. The fire was discovered by the man who sleeps on the premises but the flames had gained such headway that nothing could be done to save the building or its contents. Twenty-four horses and mules lost their lives. Immediately after discovering the fire the man opened the front door and two horses rushed out. One escaped unhurt, but the other was so badly burned that it was killed shortly afterwards. Mr. Zeb. Yount, one of the own ers, rushed into the burning building and tried heroically to save some of the horses, but could not get them to come out. When discovered the fire had gained such headway that the fire companies had to give all their attention to saving the buildings nearby. Besides the stable, the old office of the firm, as well as the new one just completed, and into which Mr. Yount had only re cently moved, were destroyed. A small barn across the street belonging to Misses Relia and Sue Jarrett was also burned. This barn was filled with fodder and hay belonging to Mr. Bud Poovy. In it was an automobile belonging to Mr. A. H. Williams, of Maiden, which was saved. The gentlemen forming the firm are Mr. Zeb. Yount and Mr. A. M. Wilson, of Newton, the former residing in town, the lat ter several miles in the country. They carried upon buildings and stock insurance of $3,500, which will only cover the loss of the horses. These gentlemen calcu late their loss over and above the insurance to be about $2,000. There is no clue whatever as to how the fire originated.

The bridge across the railroad above the depot connecting Linville and Asheville streets, has been takf n in hand by the railroad force anc repaired and whitewashed, which adds much to its usefulness and appearance. The depot is resplen dent with a fresh coat of paint, and a passenger landing has been made above and below the depot. The railroad is to be con gratulated in having for its agent here Mr. T. A.

Pitts & Giles have built a new warehouse in real of their store, which will add to the handling of business.

Miss Helen Davis, who has been here for several days on a visit to her uncle, Mr. M. A. Davis, returned to her home at Waynesville, N. C, to-day. Mr. E. J. Sigmon, by repairs and painting, has added much to the attractiveness of his store and dwTelling-house on Linville street. Saturday, between 2 and 3 o'clock, quite a storm of wind and rain struck this place. St. Paul's church, an important mission point of the Episcopal church north-west of here about 2 miles on the west side of the Catawba river, was struck by lightning during the storm. The tower, on the west end of the church, was badly damaged, the forms around the concrete steps leading into the tower torn to pieces, front of tower damaged, the lightning passing through the tower into the main body of the church. A large rock in the wrall of the church was split open, pieces of rock thrown out of the wall and balls of fire rolled from one end of the church to the other, setting fire to some loose paper near a can of linseed oi and some fat pine. Tom Irving, col. , one of the wrorkmen, with his coat put the fire out. Had it caught the oil and pine nothing could have saved the church There were four workmen in the building at the east end of the churcn. Had tney been at or near the west end" all would have been killed. They were all more or less shocked. One was driving a nail when the bolt struck and was knocked down and his ham mer thrown from him. His arm became very sore from the shock. Jap. Glen Alpine, N. C, Oct 25th, 1909.

McKesson, of Morganton, will lecture on "Paul at Athens," in Statesville Friday evening, 29th. The lecture will ba given in Shearer Music Hall, under the auspices of the literary societies of the Statesville Female College. There will be no charge for admission and the general public is invited to hear Mr. Mc Kesson. Mr. McKesson, as most States ville people know, is one of the most delightful platform speakers in the State. A gentleman of scholarly attainments, well read in ancient and modern literature, he will make the most of his sub jecta most interesting one by the way and this opportunity to hear him offers a treat that Statesville people should appreci ate. Mr. McKesson has delivered this lecture a number of times and it has been highly compli mented. He should have a large audience Friday evening. Teacher And Child. Asheville Citizen. Few parents stop to think that the greater part of child life is s ent in the schoolroom, and that the mind, influence and character of the teacher very often, if not always, make or mar the future man or woman. For this reason school boards and other govern ing authorities should exercise the greatest care in the selection of the teaching staffs, since, of course, the parents can have no voice in the matter. These re marks are prompted by an excel lent article on "The Teacher and Child" written by Stephen S. Wise in the October number of the Pacific Monthly. Among other things he says: "The needs of the teacher are only two, but they mean so much preparation and consecration. Preparation is the never-ceasing process of fitting oneself from day to day for the ever increas ingly difficult task of teaching. Consecration is a sense of devot edness to the teacher's calling, arising from a realization of the sacredness of the teacher's re sponsibility. Consecration may be reduced to simpler terms ove! Love for the child; love for the task! And love in turn implies so much respect, sympa thy, forbearance. Love for the child! Edward Everett Hale and Helen Keller were talking or a school which she and a friend were to open, and Helen ex patiated upon the way in which the school was to be conducted. He said: But Helen, what are you going to do?" "Oh." said she, ' 'I am going to love the chil dren." So feels the heaven-or dained teacher. Love and reverence for the child will beget the sympathy and forbearance which are two- thirds of the victory. The child mind and its laws, the child psychology must be known, but this knowing of science is not enough. There must be patience and sympathy with the child life, the fewest do's and dont's. The Decalogue contains, as its name implies, just ten commandments; How many teachers are as inexi- gent as Moses? Love for the work! Without love for the work it is impossible that the teacher should be possessed of and by the indispensable quaility of enthusiasm and personality. "The teacher must be enthusl astic in order to teach. The teacher in the pulpit and the teacher in the schoolroom should be ehosen with regard to char acter above all things. The ancients appreciated that a teacher must be worthy :'n order to teach. Montaigne tells of the rearing of a Persian prince. At the age of fourteen the child was delivered into the hands of four men the wisest, the justest, the most temperate and the most valiant of the nation. The first taught him religion; the second to be upright and true; the third, to become master of his own de sires; the fourth, to fear nothing. Almost anybody is good enough to teach seems at times to be the rule which governs us in the choice of teachers; in truth, only our hnest men and women are good enough to teach." The teacher should fully under stand the important part he plays in the moulding of child life, and if he feels that he is not capable of drawing out all that is best in the child, he should ' find another vocation. DON'T STOP MY PAPER. Don't stop my paper printer; Don't strike my name off yet; You know the cash comes slowly, And the dollars hard to get; But tug a little harder Is what I mean to do, And scrape the dimes together, Enough for me and you.

I hate to ask my neighbors To give me theirs to loan; They don't just say but mean it: "Why don't you get your own."

To the Editor of The News-Herald: t- r , . .tveierring to your question m last week's issue, "Is a Bull-Bat and a Whippoorwill the Same Bird," and also the contention of Esq. Sparks, would say: I have made a special study of birds, and mounting and dissect ing same, for years, and have mounted and carefully examined both bull-bat and whippoorwill, i i and nnd mere is no comparison oetween tne two birds to prove they are the same. The color of the whippoorwill is very dark, mingled with brown, with no white spots, while the bull-bat is grey, mingled with white spots, and with large white spots on wings. Are a bull-bat and a whippoor- 11 a 1 A mi win tne same size r rne wings of the bat are 2 inches longer than the whippoorwill and extend about an inch beyond the end of the tail, while the whippoor will 's wings are short and do not extend to the end of the tail. The pupils of the eyes of the whippoorwill expand in the day as the owl, consequently the whippoorwill is a night bird and can see but little in day-light, while the bat's eyes are smaller and do not enlarge in day-light. The bill of the whippoorwill is shorter and broader and the mouth larger and head shorter than the bat's. The whippoorwill has a large number of stiff bristles or whisk ers protruding several inches from the sides of the mouth, while the bat has only a few, and more pliant and shorter. The whippoorwill is never seen soaring in tne air, and unless scared up never leaves cover un til night fall, always making short flights, owing to inability to see well in day-light, while the bat soars for hours in the "air. Have also examined the eggs side by side. The whippoorwill's are about one-third larger and nearly round, light color with de cidedly brown spots, while the bat's are longer and more grey ish color, with smaller and paler spots. The toes of the whippoorwill are shorter, and legs and toes are thickly covered with small feath ers, while the bat's are very thinly covered, and with longer and entirely different growth. While the birds look somewhat similar from ordinary observa tion, a careful examination will prove they are entirely different. L. E. Webb.

Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has saved many women from surgical operations. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is made ex clusively from roots and herbs, and is perfectly harmless. The reason why it is so successful is because it contains ingredients which act directly upon the female organism, restoring it to healthy and normal activity. Thousands of unsolicited and genuine testimonials such as the following prove the efficiency of this simple remedy. Minneapolis, Minn. : I was a great sufferer from female troubles which caused a weakness and broken down condition of the system. I read so much of what L.ydia E.
