C., Jan. 25, 1917. K Florida has a new Governor who says lie will "choke the Devil out of politics." Well, he's got some job on his hands, llis name is Sydney J. Catts. He is a preacher and had hard fight to win out. I The Legislature has now some measurers before it of a weighty nature. Among them: To allow towns to confer equal suffrage on women in municipal matters; the agreement of ten jurors in civil Suite a lawful verdict; to change the system of electing County Superin tendents of schools and school iboards; and the regulation of the Bale of patent medicines. All these an important matters and are worthy of'careful consideration. It is reasonably certain that none ol them will be put through hastily. . President Wilson addressed the |U«it«d States Senate last Monday on .world-wide peace. It was one of the i most remarkable and far-reaching {messages ever delivered by the head fof any government. It has caught the attention of the foremost nations I 'of the earth aud they are writing *nd talking about it favorably and unfavorably. Some would treat it 'lightl?, if they could, but the mat-1 I ter and manner of it are too weighty [|to be disposed of in that way. It 'marks an epoch iu the world's history. Mr. 11. It. Clark, editor and pro prietor of the Statcsvillo Landmark, •a, few days ago went to the Sana torium in that city to lest a few i jWeeks on account of a nervous break down. It is hoped he will speedily ntscovor and return to Inn work with (his old time energy. Mr. Clark is ..justly recognized as one of the State's .'foremost newspaper inon, and the - Landmark the best paper of the weekly class in the State. It is ' printed twice-a-week and the con stant grind for 25 years to produce ■ach a paper has proven too great a tax for its faithful editor. ; { la various parts of the country — in cities, towns and countios —a new kind of government has sprung up as a purely economical business |proposition. The new pbasoof gov- that we are speaking of is termed either a "city manager" or "oounty manager." Where the sys tem has been put into o|>eration and the right sort of man secured it has proved economical and expeditious. The tn»t) selected is a business man and taken for all his timo. To be sure a man with ability enough to look after the business aJTairs of a whole county will'have to be well paid. It is a man's job. There ap pears to be considerable sentiment in Alamance for a County Manager. Bis duties would have to be pre scribed by s proper statute, bnt it is ■ore there could be enough found to keep him buiy all tho time—and more, it is urged that there would be a saving more tliau ample to pay a good salary to the right man. There is as much reason for the county conducting its affairs econom ically there is for a private con lam. ■ Robert W. Chambers' Discovery Broadway a den of hotne aeekers! Robert W. Chambers nays so. Iu a remarkable inter view, the famous novelist defends the character of a New York piny girl. lie says in part: "In every age there have al ways been the young play-girls." fee notice tier more today, be cause she Is better dressed, more aore of herself, more convinced that her way is right and that play Is essential. ' But 1 And as I study these young people that not all is de aire for gayety, for personal ■beauty comfort and bright ness — there is the old dominating iiupplse to mate. Indeed often it Is the desire for this very thing that leads these young people to Broadway; but what they waut is a borne, the aafe retreat, the man that belongs to them, the riild that needs tlieu." . There is a profound truth iu Mr. Chambers' gallant defense— the fundamental instinct to love and to mate. Mr. Chambers has always thoroughly exemplified this in his fiction, and never so well perhaps as in his latest novel "The Dark Star" appearing in ■Cosmopolitan Magaziue. 1 An international conference for ■World-wide prohibition, to oe held Sat the same time and place as the Keaee conference whenever it shall Ke called for the settlement of the ■European war, is announced o.v Boehmond P.

LIME FACTS FOR LANDOWNERS. ] READ CAREFULLY BEFORE t'H- J INC; CIME. 1 Fertilizer Formulas for Small Grain, Cotton and Corn, Tobacco, Pea nuts, Sweet Potatoes, Irish Potatoes. Fact 1. Wo not use "burned" ltine for agricultural purposes. It is caustic and will destroy the vegetable matter of your soils by "eating away its substance through lical action." It thus reduces the organic matter content of your soils, liberates and dissi pates your soil nitroi eti into the air, and leaves your land in a rela tively impoverished condition. Fact Use only ground lime stone or marl on your soils This form of lime helps to enrich your laud and does not burn out your soil humus. There is, moreover, no danger from auovera l plication of lime in this form. FactDo not rely on ground limestone or marl alone to keep up the fertility of your laud. The best results are obtained only I when this material is used in con nection with liberal amounts of organic matter. Remember the proverbs: "Lime and lime with out manure makes both farm and farmer poor"; but, "Lime combined with vegetable matter makes both farm and farmer better." Fact 4. 1* round limestone is said to. liberate inert soil pot ash and render it available for the growing crop. Nearly all upland soils have aft abundance of inert potash. Fact 5. Ground limestone cor rects soil acidity, accelerates the rotting of green manuring crops and other forms of organic matter in the soil, increases and prolongs the efficiency and availability of the native and commercial phos phates/ and serves as a food for all kinds of plants; especially those of the legume family, such as the clovers, vetches, alfalfa, peas, and beans. Fact li. Make liberal use of ground limestone on laud intend ed for peanuts, alfalfa, and the clovers. Fact 7. It Is advisable to spread ground limestone over your i meadows and pastures during the spring months. Fact H. Spread grouud lime- j . stone over your green manuring crops before turning them under, ' In order to hasten their decaj early in the season. Fact 11. Spread ground lime ■ stone at any convenient time, but , preferably duritiK Iho fall, winter, and-spring months, when teams and men have niosl leisure. Fact 10. I'se from one to five tons of ground limestone to the acre, depending on the object for which you use it. For the correc tion of soil acidity, make the larger acre applications. Fact 11. Since ground lime stone dissolves readily iu the soil, i it is generally better to make small applications at short intervals than large applications at loug intervals; i. e., it is generally bet ter to apply 1,1)00 pounds to the ' acre every year than to apply 10,- J 000 pounds to the acre once iu « four years. Fact I". «i roti in 1 limestone can not lake the placu of thorough 1 drainage in the correction of soil r acidity. Drum Itrst, then lime. Fact 1.1. (jrouud limestone ) should be used iu grades of dif t ferent degrees of* liueuess. The finest materials become iuiuiedi ' ately available, anil are cither 1 used up by the plants or leached s out of the soil ; .the coarser ma j terials become more slowly avail able, and thus last over a longer period. The very finely ground limestone, say that which will pass a 100 to 200-mesh sieve, costs more money at the quarry and does nol last so lolitf ill the soil as that which is ground loss line. Fact 1). A car-load of ground limestone contains 30 tons. Fact 15. Individuals who do not I want as much as a car-load can | club together and order as much as a car-load shipped to one point. ' Fact 16. Try to place your orders * for ground limestone at least six ) weeks before you want the material - shipped. Fact 17. It Is generally bcttei to order ground limestone shipped In bulk because of the greatly reduc ed cost. For example, we will sa.\ a 30-ton car-load of lime cost* 4'o at the juarry when purchased In bulk; *1 additional for bags ami bagging »ill make this car-load cost Just *lO more, or, in all Jint (*io In addition to the freight.

THE SYMPATHETIC* TEACHER By Mrs. Louise Jones Wilson, County Superintendent of Schools, Bill ings, Mont. o* In the first epi?tle to the Corin thians, says, "And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three, but the greatest of these is char ity." 'So may il bS said of the teacher, that her chief jilalitias ar3 ability, enthusiasm and sympathy; but the greatest of these is sym pathy. And even as Paul says of charity, so may it be said of sym pathy; "Though I speak with the tongues of Men and of angels and have not sympathy, I am -become as a sounding brass or a tinkling cymbal." The sympathetic teacher is the one who is able to put himself in the child's place and look at life from the child's point of view. He must remember his own childhood and youth and the problems that confronted him, must remember the consternation with which he of ten viewed these problems and the fear and trembling With which he undertook their solution before he can inspire the pupil with confi dence in himself, before he can say to the pupil, "Go in and win! You can! You can!'' Such a teacher must have a pleasing personality, an indomitable will, and an unrelenting strength of character. His personality must not be a "play to the grand stand," or in otner Words a pose, but must be genuine and ring true, for the children are .juick to note even the smallest degree of su perficiality. They must feel that he is absolutely clean and honora ble and truthful himself, before he can inculcate such principles into them. The sympathetic teacher realiz es that the ! i parents and teacher must co-operate in order to secure the ultimate good of the child and to this end he visits the home of the pupils. He discusses with the parents the necessity of proper food, fresh air—especially in the sleeping roomß—bathing, exercise and prompt and" regular attend ance at school. He encourages the parents to watch for a child's spe cial talent ana help him to develop it. He makes them feel that a well-ordered school is as much to their credit as to his own. His school room is a delight ful place; clean and orderly, bright with sunshine and cheer, decorated with good—if cheap— prints of ola masterpieces; and its atmosphere ia one of cheerful, happy activity. The pupils maintain good order be cause they realize that they can work better in a quiet room ana because they respect the rights ol others. The teacher is not above joining them in a hearty laugh at times, for he realizes that, "A mer ry laugh maketh a glad counte nance." Neither is he above join ing them in their games and amuse ments, at times, or teaching them new ones at recreation time. One teacher secured sample tubes of tooth paste and sent for tooth brushes costing a few cents each and organized his class into a tooth brushing aquad. The same teacher through a physician friena obtained samples of matted milk and got the children of a family who drank b;er freely to sitosti tute malted milk for beer. The sympathetic teacher renders the larger service, and, consequent ly, gets more out of his profession and out of life than his pedantic contemporaries do. It is such teachers to whom we look oack with loving gratitude in our ma ture years, rememoering how they helped us past a crisis or lielpea us to decide at a turning point in our lives. It is such teachers who advance rapidly in the profes sion, not because they are lucky, but because they put more into it, and consequently get larger te turns. It was to sue'.* as this that the great teeacher said : "Come ye blessed of my Father. Ye have been faithful over a few things. I win make thee ruler over many things.

C., Jin 22.—1n nummari/.ing the work of the Uni | versity of North Carolina da I*og the past year in his annual report, President Graham points out some rather interesting facts. "From :an investigation made two years I ago," he says, "the University wmb doing its work on 33 percent, less per student per year than the average cost in Southern Universi ties. The University's total in come last year was 9220,601, and 875,661 of this was from sources other than the State. That of Vic ginia and Texas (the other leading universities) was $500,258 and $002,607, respectively. Eleven of the Southern Universities have larger working incomes per stu dent than the University of North Carolina. Georgia's is 76 percent, larger, Mississippi's 11)1 per cent., and-Virginia's 141 percent." A table of full comparative statis tics is given to, show the relative standing in several respects. In conclusion, President Gra ham says: "What it asks, and all that it asks, is not for itself, but as the common instrument of I all the men concerned in advanc ing the general welfare and the more abundant life of the | For this reason it confidently asks, in the first place, M>r the sympa thetic understanding and interest of all those who work with a de cent and reasonable regard for the common good, and it aSks for such support as will enable it worthily to assist in the solution of the great common problem." A total of 152 lecture subjects is offered this year by members of' the University faculty, as shown in a recent bulletiu which deals with correspondence courses and extension lectures for North Caro lina communities. Last year 350 such lectures were delivered by members of the faculty through out the State. The bulletin states that in the past "more invitations have been received than could be accepted, and audiences in every part of the State have been reached." The lectures fall into three well defined groups: those that are popular and of the general interest type; those that are specific or technical for study clubs, insti tutes, farmers' meetings, etc. .; an(J lectures and addresses for special meetings, such as commencements patriotic, and dedicatory occa sions, conventions and the like. The plan has now been in opera tion for three years. These lectures will be furnished wherever there is a demand'for them, whatever the size of the community. The traveling and incidental expenses of the lecturer are borne by the organization for which the lecture is made. It is further suggested that where lec tures are arranged, there be a series of three or (note at regular intervals. Many of the lectures are illustrated with attractive lantern slides, and one or two with motion pictures. Atlantic Coast Inventors.

Many people pretend their teeth by passing the btistlles cross wise over the surface a few limes, but this is at most a pretense, as it really does not get the proper results. The best way to clean the teeth is to place the bristles of the brush firmly against the teeth and with a rotary or scrubbing motion go up and down the surface of the upper and lower teeth both inside and out and up on the gums. Go also behind the teeth. After see ing that every bit of the surface of the teeth has been cleaned in this way,- then rinse the mouth thoroughly, forcing the water be tween the teeth several times to unloose any lood particles. Do this more than once and always spit it out. To keep the teeth as clean as they should be kept in order to preserve them and prevent decay, it is necessary to wash them after each meal in order to remove all food particles- They should also be washed the first thing IU the morning ami the last thing at night: It is well to have more tliau one brush ou hand at a time HO that it wjll never be necessary to use a wet, limp brush. A uood, stiff brush useJ two or three times a day aud a standard paste or powder used once a day is^all that jis usually necessary to keep the teeth clean and iu good condition. Remember always when washing the teeth that a clean tooth never d.-cays. It was Lloyd George's luck to have the peace proposal burst immediately after he reached the center of the stage.
