Last -- week The Gleaner had somewhat to say about the town of Graham taking action looking to the purchase of the Sellars Mill * property, to be sold next Monda.v, for the purpose of having its own lighting plant. The proposition may not appeal to some, but one who thinks about it will readily conclude that by .water power electricity can be generated more cheaply than in any other way, else why so many water power de velopments for this purpose. Graham should not stand in her own light in this matter and lose N her opportunity. This property will never sell cheaper than it will be sold next Monday. „ Let the town be wise before it is too late. ( "The Republican party machine || was so badly demolished last year , that the leaders deem it in great ] need of repair, hence a meeting is called for this week to formulate j n new platforpi and otherwise get | In shape for another campaign.

Poor Blood is Responsible for much sickness and suffer ing because its quality deter mines our resistive power. With poor blood we are lan guid, susceptible to colds, lack natural energy and ambition, and the gradual decline of strength makes prompt and careful treatment necessary. Drugs or alcohol cannot make blood and must be avoided. SCOTT'S EMULSION is nature's grandest blood-maker because of its wholesome medical nourishment, so carefully predigested that it assimi lates without taxing digestion and quickly increases the red corpuscles of the blood, strengthens the oigans and tissues and upbuilds the whole system. Absolutely nothing compares with SCOTT'S EMULSION to purify and en rich the blood to overcome or avoid anaemia. It is totally free from at cohol or opiates and your health de mands the purity of SCOTT'S. •CM ft MM*. HMaaaM.il. J. iMI State N. & I. College Letter. Cor. of The Qlemner.

Be talked to , the people of Spring school Wed . nesday night, to those of Maywood » Thursday night, and to those of ■ Mayhan Friday night. Mr. Brog . den understands thoroughly the rural school problems, and his . talks are inspiring and practical. , He pictures for his audience the type of the really efficient country school—the school that meets the needs of the country child. This school, he explains, should have an area of 35 or 30 square miles in order to insure enough taxable property to insure its support. This school should have a school plat of not less than eight or ten acres, three of which should be uxed for playgrounds, and the rest for demonstration farm and a home for the prinipal. In this school Mr. Brogden would place three teachers: The principal, a man who can spend twelve months of the year with his people and take charge of the boys in the farm demonstration work; the first ussistant, Mr. Brogden would have organize the girls into a sewing and cooking class; the second as sistant he would have take charge of social clubs connected with the school. Mr. Brogden's model farm found favor In the eyes of all who heard him, and we look for such a school to be established in Ala mance before very long. A box party followed Mr. Brog den's lecture at Mayhan Friday night. Everybody had a good time and (71.16 was taken in for school improvements. The people at Mayhan are enthusiastic work ers and they are having a fine school. They have already raised nearly 1100.00 this perm tor school equipment. So far as has been repoted this leads every other school in the county. Hurrah for Mayhan. The Glencoe school had a box ■upper Saturday night and raised >15.00 (or their school. The Primary department of the Elmira achool and the young peo ple of Elmira achool gave a play on last Saturday night, much to the delight of a large audience that was present. A small admis sion was charged that amounted to $18.60. Next Saturday, Deo. 19th, will be be celebrated in the schools of the county and in the schools of the State North Carolina Day. Thla cel bration is an annual custom, but this year for the first time the cel bration is to be in the interest of the farm and farm life. The day is to be observed in part as Knapp Memorial Day, in honor of the late Seaman A. Knapp who was the originator of the movement to have farm culture and the study study of plant life inaugurated in the schools of this section of the country. On the day of celebration there will be'a collection taken up for the Knapp Memorial. This memorial will be a demonstration Farm at Nashville, Tenn., where the youth of the entire South may go (or instruction in Agriculture.
