A few cities are solving the vacation problem by running the schools the entire year. Newark, N. J., may be given as an example. In that city many ot. tne elementary schools and one high school are in session 48 weeks in a year. The children who attend all the year like the plan. One boy says: "Going to school all the year keeps you fiom hanging around the streets and saves you trom trouble." A mother living in a tenement district says: "If there were no summer chnnl T would not know the where about of my children. They wuld leave home early inxthe morning and run all over the city." A school physician says: "There is less sickness among the school chil dren in summer than m winter. The children who attend during summer are in. better physical condition m September than the children who have not been to scnooi. A few other cities have orgamzeu all-year schools. Most cities conduct summer schools of six weeks, which is a step toward the all-year school. The all-year school is coming. ny not?

Previously she had taught at Northhampton, Chapel Hill and Salisbury. WALLACE REID NEAR DEATH Wallace Reid, motion picture star, is on the verge of death, and for several dajs has not been expected to live, according to Mrs. Wallace Reid (Dorothy Davenport) in an in terview in ;Los Angeles, Cal. . .

How still we see thee lie; Above thy deep and dreamless sleep, The silent stars go by; , Yet in thy dark streets shineth The everlasting Light; The hopes and fears of all the years Are met in thee tonight. Hartsville, S. C, and Miss Dorothy after tj,e manner in which we make Alderman to Wagram I do not automobiles and tractors. ; agree with any of this. Nothing has come out of the air. We have nothing that others might not have. We have had no good for tune except that which always at tends any one who puts his best into his work. There was nothing that could be called "favorable" about our beginning.

Burke county's pension fund at this semi-annual payment time was $10, 317. This amount to the edd soldiers of the Confederacy and their widows :s a deserved gift from the State and means much to the majority of them. It is a Christmas gift which they ap preciate. There are at present no veterans in the first class in this county and only one in the second class, who re ceives S67.50 semi-annually. There are four in the third class receiving 360 semi-annually, and ninety-seven in the fourth class, whose semi-annual checks are $52.50. There are ninety - five widows of Confederate soldiers in Burke county. They get S52.50 semi-annually, an increase of S2.50. the widows' pension formerly lbeing.$100 annually. RETURNS HOME. Mr. W. A. Townsend, who has been in San Autonio, Texas, for several years, . has returned home. Mr. Townsend has been one of the 'gov ernment's vocational and rehabilita tion schools teaching shoe-making to the soldiers. COUNTY BOOKS BEING AUDITED Mr. J. M. Clark, expert auditor, of Charlotte, has been employed to audit the books of the county and has been engaged in the work this week at the court house. The mechanical working out of our creed is constantly changing, but the principles we have not found necessary to alter, and I cannot im agine how it might ever be neces sary to alter them.
