Made By Gov. Bickett, Enacted Into Law By Legislature. The Legislature recently adjourn . Ed enacted the following laws in line with the recommendations in " the inaugural address of Oovernor | Bickett: J 1. The act resubmitting a con > stltutional amendment calling for a r 6 months' instead ol a 4 months public school. The act follows the declaration in the Governor's inou gural address that "The children are entitled to have the voter cast a single ballot whether he is or is not in favor ot a larger opportu " nity for the child." 2. The act submitting a constitu-l - tional amendment exempting from taxation notes and mortgages given in good faith for the purchase price of a nome. The purpose of this act it is to bring thtf money in reach oi D every homesteader. b 3. The crop lien act designed to give the small farmer a chance to 8 "break out of Jail." ,l 4. The act providing for the is teaching of the basic principles ot lr good farming in every rural public school. The machinery of this act is well adapted to serve its pur pose. d 5. The act to Incorporate the irt a stallatlon of running water, electric n lights and telephones in country , homes and communities by furnlsh ' ing expert advice and assistance " free of cost. I- 6. The act Jo make the school » house the social center, and to pro vide for wholesome entertainment in country school houses that will ,r be both instructive and relaxing. 8 7. The act providing for the med ia ical inspection of ail children who e attend th® public schools in order a that physical defects may be dis covered and corrected If possible in their inciplenc.y. ll 8. The act providing for the In * corporation of rural communities to the end that thickly settled com munities in the country may take such steps for their own bet terment as they may deem wise anu proper. r 9. The act forbidding the wile or advertisement for sale of medicines a purporting to cure Incurable dlseas j es, and forbidding tne sale of any mechanical device for the treatment of diseases when the State Board of Health may declare such device to ■ be without curative value, j 10. The act providing for the im provement of highways by expenci- the automobile tax for this purpose under the direction of the 11 State Highway Commission. 11. The act that permits anu rcg -0 ulates absentee voting. t 12. The appointment of a Stale J tax commission to investigate ana report a comprhenslve system ol " taxation to the next General As- B sembly. 13. The act consolidating the man agement of the three hospitals for , the Insane and establishing a pitr / chasing agency for certain State in . stltutions. 14. The act limiting the time for 1 which a convict may be went to a chain gang for five years. The rec ommendation of the Governor was for two years, but owing to the k inadequacy of quarters at the State ' prison the time was made five years ' for the present. 15. The act authorizing the con struction of modern sanitary quar ters for the convicts on the Slate farm. 16. The Turner bill is in entire harmony with the recommendations of the Oovernor, who said in his Inaugural address. "I am convlced that the only Jus tification for the punishment of 1 crime is the protection of the pub- 1 lie and the reformation of the crlm- ' innl. Anything that savors of vin- 1 dictiveness is endefensible in the J administration of the law. When ' the State sends u citizen to prison he ought to be made to feel that his punsihment In a Just measure t imposed for the purpose of pre- ( venting himself and others from „ committing further crimes, ana f that pending his imprisonment the y State desires to afford htm every » opportunity to become a good clt- ( Izen." Tho recommendation of the Oov ernor that the State prison at Ral eigh be converted into an Insane I asylum was not acted upon on ac count ot tho pressure of other mat ters, but the suggestion met with favor and the belief is that th > next 1 session of theOeneral Assembly will I order this to be done. I The administration gave hearty support to many other important 'measures, notably the engagement I of the Work of the Geological Stir- i vey and the set authorising bonds { to meet the Imperative needs of the State'a charitable and educational instlt utions, sending a special message to the Oeneral Assembly I in advocacy of the last act namel. , But the acts numbered above are those which were emphasized b,v the Oovernor In his Inaugural ad dress.

A few months ago the Kelly-j Springfield Tire Company was looking over the country for a town in which to locate their fac tory and mftke their permanent home. Their first consideration was a healthful location where sanitary conditions were every thing they should be and where the health of the citizens of the town was given first importance. One request made by the company was that health conditions,should be up to date according to 1917 requirements, and not as they wore in 1910. Cumberland, Maryland, was the town chosen. According to one of the city health bulletins, that town L has recently spent large sums ol i money for health purposes.

Robertson. | Report of Teachers' Meeting. ; The last teachers' meeting of thia school year was held at the court house last Saturday. De spite the almost impassable roads "we bad a splendid attendance. Some of the teachers reported that after they had exhausted every effort to get conveyance to come to the meetin and their hopes had been abated, along came an auto truck which was haled and mounted by them. Others report ' ed that some places in the road i were so rough that they disuiount ■ ed while tne driver and team made » their way through, and others I still, came by conveyance part of • the way and walked the balance. Nevertheless they came. i i'laris for County Commence ment and the numerous items i necessary for the wind up of the school work for the year were dis l cussed. t Dr. Wicker of Elon gave an iu ) struct've talk on The Teachers' ; Heading Course. One of the oldest and one of the youngest teachers in the county , read before our teachers the paper t hat follows, on the subject, "Why I atp a Teacher". This teacher is Mrs. E M. Isley. She is oue of our oldest in years and one of the youngest in spirit. She is one of "our own",' who has come back to . us. She taught at Friendship 47 i years ago. She then, married Mr » George Isley, went to Indiana, taught there, wont to Alabama, . and has taught there for years, teaching in the same school at one : place for 17 years. She came ■ with her husband back to their home State and home county to [ visit this winter and Mrs. tyley is teaching the Highland school in Boon Station township. Mrs. Isley was before marriage i a Lamb and she is a lamb yet in > kindness and spirit. Sheiscourt ; eous and thontrhtful of every , child, boy and girl, old and young., Aud although she is past three > score and ten and taught for half a century, she is smooth and . sweet in spirit, she loves her chil i dren and they love her. She says > she has the bent boys and girls In e the county, and they are just as confident that they have the best - teacher in the State. Mrs. Isley's paper follows: J "Why I Am A Teacher." f "Our divine master was a teach er. Ho left many worthy examples e for us to follow. His greatest les * son was that of love for others. ' If we have a spirit of love in ouc hearts for others, we will like to f do anything that imitates His u work. Therefore I teach becausa * it gives ine an opportunity of im parting the great love I have for >I the children in a way that is bene '■* licial to them. There is nothing in all the world so important, so a interesting, as the children. If i. you wish ever to be of any real use in the world, do something for the children. There is always a chance to save a child. I teach because it is a high, noble duty, t to prepare the children for right , living; to educate them to care for e themselves, that they may grow s strong in body and mind and be able to resist the evil temptations i thev may come in contact with; f to develop their intellectual and r moral faculties and give them such knowledge as will likely be useful • to them in the sphere of life which « providence has assigned them. I I teach because I love the work, t The more I love my pupils and my work the more real joy I find. I love to teach them what is noble and good, to get them to believe , in the very best things of life and J endeavor to attain them; to abhor that which is evil and love that I which is good. I love to teach ( them patriotism. They are de . lighted to have lessons based upon the lives of our country's heroes, tor loving thoughts of others can not and will not be throwh away. 1 try U> show them I have their interest at heart and will do all I i can to brighten, develop and bless r their lives. I teach because it is ( a grand work. It is the building ( we might say of other lives; that is, the formation of their onarac ' ters, and that is the central aim t of all education. Let us then take heed how we build what we do. To mold the character ol our t pupils little by little, not only by literature but by our example, j our influence and our lives. It was Solomon, the wise teacher, who said, 'A word fitly spoken is : like apples of gold in pictures of silver.' He also said, 'This is the | loving favor which is commended better than silver and gold.' Therefore we should be careful r how we speak as we know not how many try to imitate our lives. When I see these men and women that used to be pupils in my school, I am glad that I gave them my best efforts and influence aud that J I helped to make them what they are. "I teach because it helps me to live a better lite, knowing that uiy every day life is an influeuco to the precious children entrusted • to my care. How careful then ; should I, and every other teacher be as to how we live before our ' pupils. The impression that we ' make upon their young and tender 1 minds, the seed that we sow in I their hearts may be lasting. We may not live to see the fruits of | our labor, but if. we are faithful 1 1 in our work it will not be in vain. 1 Some day aud somewhere our in- •' fluence may be seen in others and 1 shine as sunbeams in the dark- 1 ness. Then let us as teachers not i be weary in well doing. Let usi 1 be content with our work. Let j us courageously meet our respon- J nihilities and meet them cheer- ( ully, and when we have finished jt f -—r- 1 — ■ 'jour teaching on earth and ouV (i Great 'Teacher calls us home we * J will find many dear children whose [ l'ves were brightened here by our ' I teaching, at the 'Beautiful Gate' waiting and watching for us." Newspapers from Distant Lands— I Oddities of the Foreign Press. ' The Chamberlain Medicine Com ' pany, Dea Moines, lowa, manu » facturers of Chamberlain's Coagh i. Remedy, advertise not only in t this country but in foreign lands. y A copy of each issHe of every b newspaper containing their ad g vertisements is sent to the office l of the Chamberlain Medicine Com -1 pany as a proof of the insertion of . the advertisement. Some of the 1 papers bear names of places, , which require one to recall forgot b ten geography or refer to the atlas b to locate. Some of them are ptfr f ticularly curious as they are pub >. lished in the vernacular or native languages which might be likened - to the carefully written notes of a s shorthand writer. a Here are the well knowu Chi nese characters arranged in verti cal lines reading from top to bot - torn, the lines arranged from right i* to left. The Burmese language, as print -3 ed is composed principally of a r combination of circles. Some one r wittily suggested that for this r reason circulars would be proper i ly printed in this language, f Cingalese, the language of Cey ) lon, also curvilinear. Javanese f and Siamese are composed largely ) of vertical lines connected by ! loops at either top or bottom but rarely at both. , The four hundred million peo , pie of India have nearly fifty dif , ferent dialects or vernaculars. > The Chamberlain Medicine Com ) pany advertises in ten of the ■ principal ones as follows: Bengali, > Gujnrathi, Hindi, Kanarese, i Malayalam, Marathi, Sindhi, Ta i mil, Telegu and Uf|du. The Sindhi and Urdu are written from right i to left in the Hebrew fashion, i The Urdu is a sort of script and is . so chaotic in shape that it is im ■ possible to reduce it to the movable . type form. Papers printed in the i Urdu language are therefore first J wtitten out by hand and a plate [ made by the lithograph process. ■ The "Oudh Akhbar," a sixteen i page daily published at J.ucknow i in this language, claims a circnla i tion of about 5,000. It is said l that in order to handle this circu lation it requires an office force of about 200. Fortuuately for the managers, the wages paid to na tives are only a few cents a day. The Chamberlain MedicineCom -1 pany advertises iu newspapers • priii ted in thirty-two languages. • Besides the vernaculars and the C well known European languages, > French, Spanish, Portuguese, * Dutch", German, etc., the list em ' braces a number of languages ■ which until comparatively recent r times possessed no alphabet but - for which the ltoman alphabet has ' been adopted. There is also a > modern form of the Malay lan r guage using Roman characters, I known as Romanized Malay. This is used in Java and the East k Indies. 1 It is difficult to conceive how i the readers of some of the papers ' manage to handle them. Imagine a man on a crowded street'car trying to read a paper whose pages 1 are thirty-eight inches long and twenty-nine inches wide. This is the size oj the "Hitadabi," a Ben gall weekly published in Calcutta, ludia. t To an American newspaper man it is interesting to note the man ner in which the colonial English newspapers are made up. They still cling to the methods which were practiced in this country fifty years ago, the advertisements being upon the first few pages, tollowed generally by the heavy editorials, then a few meager cable and telegrapfHc items, afterwards the local news. The local news consists principally of the pro ceedings of the legislative bodies, town council, school board, etc. Contributions by the readers are numerous and lengthy. The editorials are generally of a more dignified and serious na ture than American productions. The daily pai>ers devote more space to book reviews and detail ed reports of scientific progress than American newspapers do. Humor is not so noticeable aud cartoons are used more rarely than with us. Very few, if any, of the oolonial papers issue a "pink sheet," but they supply this omission by de voting a large proportion of every issue to the sporting news. With few exceptions the adver tising pages would give our "ad" writers the nightmare. They seem to have little conception of the value of space or of attractive methods of presenting either the text or the illustrations. A pleas ing relief to thi* monotony is af forded by the "ads" of American advertisers which are rather nu merous on their pages. When to Take t'hambrrlaln'a Tablets.

The clause in the tariff law grant ing S per cent, discount in duties to imports brought in American ] ships, or ships of nations with i which the Unied States has favor- i ed-nation treaties, was held as un- 1 constitutional by the Supreme Court 1 of the United States. Through Jus- f tice Holmes the court heald that the discount clause, designed to aia , in upbuilding the American mer chant marine was imperative be- ' cause it conflicts with existing 1 treaties. . ( TOO MUCH SICKNESS IN NORTH > CAROLINA. ; Survey Shows 71,132 People Sick Throughout the Year. That North Carolina has more sickness than she is due to have is the conclusion reached by the Metropolitan Life Insurance Com pany on completing a sickness survey iu North Carolina in April ' of last year. The survey Can vassed 14,112 families containing ; 66,007 persons and found that 1,881 or 3 per cent, were sick and " unable to frork. Of the persons visited, 43,468 were white and I 22,539 were colored. The sections canvassed were the mountain district in and around ' Asheviile, the middle upland dis ' trict in and around Charlotte, Greensboro,. Salisbury and Ral | eigh, and the coast district in and ' around Wilmington and Washing ■ ton. Contrary to expectation the lowest sickness rate was found in the coast counties, while the next was in the middle upland counties aud the highest in the mountain counties. The rates afs 26 5 per " 1,000 population, 28.0 pnd 37.4 re ' spei'ti vely. The figures further showed that ' more colored people were anable ( to work than white people and that more women than men were constantly sick until the age of 65 is reached, when the reverse is true. The diseases that was found ( to be more than any other the p cause of inability to work was , rheumatism in its various forms, . and after rheumatism wore pneu monia and grippe, tuberculosis, malaria, pellagra and various nervous diseases. Colds 'were also a prominent factor causing sickness. ( The ecouoraic loss due to sick ness in North Carolina, as' esti -1 mated by the State Board of Health, is probably greater than that from any other one source. . On the hypothesis that the sick ness rate remains constant ; throughout the year, and it must not be forgotten that April is the healthiest month in the year with ' the possible exception of Septem lier, there are at least 12,512 white males, at ages over 15, constantly sick. Counting 300 working days per year, it means that there are 3,753,(500 days of dsiability for work from white men alone There are 16,835 white women sick all the time, also 8,693 colored women and 5,204 colored men, a total of 12,973,200 days. The average cost of sickness per day for the wage earner, including medical and nursing service and loss of time ' from work, has been estimated to be #2. From these figures North Carolina's loss from sickiiess can 1 easily be determined. STATKor Ohio®, City or Toudo I __ Luc C*u°Tr. | 88, Frank J.
