Drexel, N. Don't Let Him Start to School Physi cally Impaired. "One of North Carolina's cry ing needs today is the medical in spection of schools and school children," said a prominent health authority recently. "Why?" he was asked. "Be cause it is a wanton waste of time, energy and money for parents and the otate to en deavor to educate children when they have to dig their education out while laboring under a lot of physical defects or handicaps. Did you know," he added, "that taken the State over about 22 per cent of the school children have defective eyes, over 50 per cent have defective teeth, 10 per cent have diseased tonsils, and from 30 to 40 per cent have hookworm disease, to say nothing of those having defective hearing, bad nutrition, skin diseases, lung diseases, etc? Furthermore it is a crime against the innocents to send them to school to study under such handicaps." Further inquiry brought out the iollowing tacts: JNot one fond parent in a dozen realizes that there is anything wrong with his child. This is because many of these minor physical ailments have come upon the children so gradually that they are unnoticed by parent and child alike. Fre quently one child will be found having several easily remedied defects. Many of these appar ently minor ailments become serious defects or handicaps on the pupil's physical and mental ability if let go unheeded. Re moving adenoids, fitting glasses to the eyes, treating hookworm disease, etc., frequently makes dull, backward children the brightest in the class. When such handicaps are removed children frequently advance in three years as far as they for merly advanced in four or five. Very few parents will permit such handicaps on their children when they once barn that they exist. WHAT IS THE REMEDY? The ideal remedy would be the medical inspection of every school child in the State at least once a year. The medical inspector and teacher to notify the parents of any defects found. The par ents will then, in most cases, have these defects remedied at once, and the child wTill be re stored to his normal vitality and given an equal chance. But not all of our school and health authorities are fully awakened to the importance of medical inspection of school chil dren. Many of those that do ap preciate its importance are not backed by public opinion. In a number of places in the btate they already have medical in spection, and this number is rapidly increasing every year. In the meantime, the best that most parents can do is to take their boys and girls to their fam ily physician, with the request that he examine them carefully for defective teeth, eyes and ears, as well as for tonsils, hookworms and all other physical defects. When such defects are found, they should of course be rem edied at once. SCHOOL TEACHERS AND ADENOIDS. Conscientious teachers will keep a close watch on their pupils par ticularly upon entering school. When they find one that breathes largely through the mouth, that admits snoring, gives evidence of post nasal catarrh or recurring ear trDuble they should suspect and Darents should be urged to consult a specialist Preacher Alleged to Have Said Some of the Lawyers Were Scoundrels and One of Them Asked Him to Specify. Fayetteville Dispatch. 2d. Another sensation, apparently an outgrowth of the beer selling cases tried last week in Cumber land Superior Court, developed here today when E. G. Davis, a well-known member of the local bar, wrote a letter to Rev. Watson M. Fairly, pastor of the First Presbyterian church, de manding a statement from the latter as to whether or not the pastor had reference to him (Davis) when he declared in a sermon preached in his church yesterday that there were "scoundrels in the bar of Fay etteville." Mr. Fairly's sermon, which was preached from the 12th verse of the first chapter of Romans, ' 'The powers that be are ordained of God," dealt with the cases tried here the past week. Mr. Fairly said that the efforts to evade the law in cases ranging from murder down to the petty ones, which consumed so much of the court's time, were very apparent, and urged the women of his congregation to attend the the sessions of courts of justice and watch these attempts. He then made the declaration that while the bar of Fayetteville had in it men of the highest charac ter, there were also scoundrels in it, and spoke of the efforts of lawyers to evade the law in the defense of clients who were known criminals. Mr. Davis' letter was delivered to Mr. Fairly by special messenger. Though the communication requested a written response by the messen ger, he returned with the verbal reply from the minister that there was no answer. The letter follows: "The newspaper reports of the sermon by you yesterday credits you with having made this ex- pression: ie saia wnne tne Dar of Fayetteville had in it men of the highest character, there were also scoundrels in it. Preceding this it credits you with having used the following language: 'He spoke of the efforts of law yers to evade the law in the defense of clients who were known criminals.' ' 'If your remarks had reference to the cases known as the 'no tax' ones, I beg to say that the following lawyers represented the defendants in those cases H. L. Cook. David Stern of Greensboro, J. W. Bolton and E. G. Davis. Of these particular classes of cases, 1 appeared m the court which has just ad journed in two of them. I re presented, however, two more, in one of which the grand jury, which identically the same witnesses as in the other cases, refused to return a true bill, and the other of which, as an report is fairly accurate. I said just about those words; only my thoughts were more fully and clearly expressed. 'I made no personal reference to any individual, or direct allu sion to any specific cases; but in speaking of those who 'resisted the power' I had occasion to refer to lawyers who sometimes for a paltry fee would lend their aid to a criminal in resisting the law and evading its punishment: I designated such as scoundrels and said that the bar of Fayette ville, while having many high toned men, had also its scoundrels like all other professions. I then made a plea that the members of the bar elevate the ideals and dignity of their local fraternity. 'Why you, or any other man who believes in good government, can object to those utterances is more than I can understand. I never accused you. Your con science may have. If you are guilty, excuse yourself. I am sorry that you were not at church to have heard that sermon first hand; have not seen you there lately as often as I would have liked to. I hope we stand to gether for the moral uplift of our town. "Yours most sincerely, "Watson Fairly." OVER THE CLINCHFIELD ROUTE. in attorney for the defendant for the nurnose of forwarding the administration of justice. I waived the right of a preliminary trial and nermitted the solicitor to send a bill to the grand jury for its action thereon. If I am one of the scoundrels you refer to I desire, request and demand that you make written response to this communication just when it is received by you and by the bearer hereof and beg further to state that had I made such a statement as you are credited with having made, I would ans wer immediately I had read this letter the inquiry submitted to von above, in that I would be following the golden rule." "Respectfully yours. "E. G. Davis.' The Minister Stands Pat. Mr. Fairlv later gave out the following reply to Mr. Davis, who is his brother-in-law: "Dear Grisson: Your letter as to the report oi my sermon, wrnVh armeared in today's Ob- server, and which was handed me by the boy, received.

The National Negro Business Legue affords some interesting reading in its annual meetings A year or two ago an Arkansas negro, who pays taxes on about $4,000,000 worth of property, made a speech inviting the ne- I groes of northern cities, who are complaining of their hard lot, to come down to his country and he would start them in farming. This year the association is meet ing in Chicago, and one of the i number, who was born a slave to a brother of Jefferson Davis, told of paying $1,000 to $18,000 year rent for plantations and be coming one of the largest cotton planters in the south. He is worth $200,000 and one of his achievements was the establish ment of a town of more than 1,000 inhabitants, every one of whom, from mayor to street cleaner, is a negro. The Magnificence of the Mountain Scenery An Interesting Description of Mountain Grandeur. Mrs. G. A. White, of States ville, thus writes to the Land mark of a return trip from John son City over the Clinchfield route: The weather was ideal. Scarce ly a cloud obscured the vision, so taking an observation car the writer, with others, had an op portunity to see western North Carolina in all its wild and pic turesque grandeur. For miles and miles the river Toe (in Tenn. the Nolachucky) winds its tor tuous course through mountains, it seems, of solid rock. We passed through the celebrated Nolachucky gorgealong the route over which Daniel Boone wound his solitary trail. Here, high over our heads, hung the rocky cliffs; below ran the river Toe. No sound broke the stillness ex cept the ripple of the waters over their rocky bed or here and there the wildi dash of the mountain torrent rushing madly from its hiding place among the crannies, save perhaps the screech . of our engine as we rushed along. Soli tube reigned supreme. On and on we sped, fanned by the exhil erating breeze and kissed by the rays of the sun which shone down from above, and still on we sped close by the river's brink, around many a rocky cliff, making many delightful curves, till we reached the tunnels (nineteen in all), emerging from which new vistas of lovinrss or grandeur would open up to our view. And so through all the after noon we feasted our eyes on a panorama of kaleidoscopical changes, sometimes gazing with intense admiration at a great mountain that rose at our feet, or with a pleasing sense viewing a lovely valley perhaps locked in its embrace, or some cool seques tered spot out of which gushed waters clear and sparkling; and still again, whether looking up at some frowning cliff or away in the distance, as mountains on mountains unfolded themselves, we were seized with a feeling of vastness akin to that of the sub lime. Dim in the distance we saw ML Mitchell; Table Rosk lifted her head. I was told the Grandfather and Roan might also be seen. There were little vil- ages nestled close by the river's brink. Pretty homes here and here and occasionally the hut of the primitive mountaineer. Cattle grazed along the way. Fruit hung upon the trees and there were evidence of such in dustries as lumbering, mica min ing, lime works, tanbark, etc. I At Altapass we reached the crest of the Blue Ridge 2,629 feet above sea level, where we had a sense of being lifted up above material things. Late in the afternoon we reached Marion and as the shadows deepened the roofs and towers of the State Hos pital at Morganton could be dim ly seen. The Catawba gleamed silvery in the moonlight, and at last we reached Statesville again, forgetful of our weariness in the exuberance of spirits. Soon we were home locked in slumber, dreaming we were riding through western North Carolina in an ob servation car. So we take up the thread of daily routine with pulses quickened and memories enriched with increased pride in our grand old State. State Committee to Say Who is Dem ocrat. Raleigh Dispatch. 9th. Chairman Charles Webb of the North Carolina Democratic ex ecutive committee issued a call to-night for the State committee to meet in Raleigh Thursday, September 19, "to transact such business as may come before it." It is understood at this time there will be threshed out the matter of what further specifications, if any, there shall be by the com mittee as to what constitutes the Democratic ticket" as qualify ing the voter to participate in the senatorial primary in which Senator Simmons. Governor Kitchin and Chief Justice Clark are pitted against each other. It will be remembered that Governor Kitchin made formal demand some weeks ago on Chairman Webb that tne com mittee be called together to act. He is contending that the com mittee should interpret the rule adopted by the State convention for the primary by declaring that Democratic ticket" must mean the complete national and State tickets, with possibly some priv ilege to scratch one or another of the names of State or county candidates on personal grounds. There will be other matters bearing on the conduct of the campaign that will be laid before the committee by Chairman Webb. No 20 HAPPY THO MARRIED? There are unhappy married lives, but a large petcentage of these mhappy homes are due to the illness of the wife, mother or daughter. The . t-iings ot nervousness, the befogged mind, the ill-temper, the pale and wrinkled f.iie, hollow and circled eyes, result most often from those disorders peculiar to v.u.iers. For the woman to be happy and good-looking- she must naturally have gooci health. Dragging-down feelings, hysteria, hot-flashes or constantly returning p.;;ns and aches are too great a drain upon a woman's vitality and strength. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription restores weak and sick women to sound health by regu lating and correcting the local disorders which are generally responsible for tha above distressing symptoms. I suffered greatly for a number of years and for the past three years was s- bad that life was a misery to me," writes Mrs. B. F. Dick over, of Utiea, Ohio, Route 4. "The doctors told me I would have ta go to a hospital before I would ever be better. A year afro this winter and spring: I was worse than ever before. At each period 1 suffered like one in torment, I am the mother of six children. I was so h-d for five months that I knew something must be done, so I wrote to Dr. R. V. Pierce, tellinp him as nearly as I could how I suffered. He outlined a course of treatment which 1 followed to the letier. I took two 1 ottlea of Favorite Prescription " and one of ' Golden Medical Discovery ' and a fifty-cent bottle of Smart-Weed," and have never suffered much since. I wish I could tell every suffering woman the world over what a boon Dr. Pierce's medicines are. There is no use wasting time and money doctoHnif with anything else or any one else."
