THE AMERICAN PRESS a SSOC1ATION \
Entered at the Post Office at Leols
burf, N. C., as second class matter.
Attention is called to the restate,
ment Of Ifie orders of Col. C. L. He
ll bee, Chairman of the Board of Coun.
tr Commissioners in another column.
Cel. McGhee informs the TIMES that
he had no intentions of requiring the
public to make written request for
a hearing in the afternoon of the first
Monday's, but that this feature was
directed mainly to all officers requir
t'.v.to make reports to the Board. We
gladly call attention to this change
in the statement of the order.
THE EIGHT MONTHS
SCHOOL LAW.
One of the greatest blessings that
could come to Franklin county Vn the
way of tax relief wonld be the pass
age of the McLean eight months school
bill. At present practically eighty,
five per cent of Franklin connty al
ready has an eight months school un
der special school district taxes, and
the new law would hare no effect
upon . the school attendance-in **** nW-f
lin except the remaining ten or fifteen
per cent It would substitue a 40 cent
rate for a 57 cent rate forcurrent
expenses thereby reducing the county
taxes 17 cents on the $100 worth of
_ property. la addition to this reduc
tion, if we understand the bill, it
would eliminate altogether .the 50
ce nts special district tax or other lo
cal district tax. Fr^pklin county
would receive from the State for cur.
rent school expenses as published in
yis'erday's News and Observer, $128,
472.46, instead of the $61,000 received
it. 1928. If we understand the expla
-^xp-tions given the provisions of the
bill instead of Franklin county's tax
for school purposes being 80 cents
plus special district-taxes of 50 cents,
it would be only 63 cents based on
ls-28 valuations. From this it can
easily: be seen that even the ten or
fifteen per cent of Franklin county
tl at how has no eight months schools
would enjoy a tax rate reduction of
17 cents and at the same time receive
an eight months schog^ferm.
It is to be hoped tfie Legislature
v ill pass the McLean bill, or one slm
ilt.r carrying the iax reductions so
Ladly needed.

Facts About A Mosquito
The mosquito is the deadliest of In.
sects. In spite of her diminutive sixe
and harmless appearance, she Is at
fierce, for her size, as a tiger, and by
carrying disease has probably caused
more deaths the world over than the
sum of tigers, panthers, lions and oth.
er wild beast that have preyed on men
since the beginning of time. Hei
"bill" is her only weapon. It is more
slender than the finest sewing needle.
Science has unmasked the mosqui
toes-true character. In time the mos
quito will doubtless become extigfet:
this depends upon the activity with
which man is willing to combat the
pest
It begins life with the egg. The
mosquito looks about for standing wa
ter when she gets ready to lay her
eggs. Her wlngs ar? Tint ?lrnng

three hundred feet from her own

it is not difficult for her to locate
near them a home for her family. She

shoe or anything that collects-waton
In water every few minutes a larva
will come wriggling up to the sur
face for air, the head is down and
breathing tubes extending just above
the water. If for any reason it can
not get air it dies. This is why
putting oil in the water destroys them
and this is a very staple thing to
do.
The bill of the female Is a wonder
ful instrument. It is very fine, and
extremely sharp. It pierces the vic

bits, is not really a bite, but a punc

It Might Have Been
Sitting in his office, in a great build
ing in New York, watching the busy
world below, the mind of John Smith
began to travel back to the days that
were gone. He was considered a sue.
cessful business man by his friends.
When a young man he had inherited a
comfortable fortune from his uncle.
Investing the mojiay in stock he had
been able to double the amount, un
til at present he had all that money
could buy except happiness. If his
friends could see him now, with his
head In his hands, and that far away
look in his eyes, they would hardly
recognize him as the shrewd, business
man.
Following his thoughts we sec that
they are centered around p lovely
country home. Here as a boy he had
spent many happy hours. He recall
ed the careful corrections, and good
advice his parents gave. It always
made him angry to be corrected. Like
every other boy he thought he knew
it alii He little realized the sacrifices
his mother and father made in or
der that he might have, time to study.
Study, the thought brought a smile
to his lips. How often he had been
up to some prank when he should
have been studying.
?Hr W*ftf-fo cblfege,Tut "he wasaP
ways a drag. Little did he think that
what he was accomplishing then would
iargely determine his actions in the
future. He was sowing his "wild
oats" and he had had such fun. At
the thought of those wild college
pranks he had played on the-boya. he
rubbed hi# hands in glee. Hi# one
aim had beenlo get {he moet fun out
of life.
All this had been good enough then.
But now?now he saw the need of all
the opportunities he had let slip. It
was too late to begin o>ver, yet it was
not too late to make the remainder
Oil his life count He collected his
wandering thoughts, brought himself
up with a start. It was too late to
sigh over what might have been. But
a look of determination settled over
his face* as he thought of what could
be done.

Basket Ball -
Last Friday at E. B. H. S. at the
play period hour our entire school
went out to see a basket ball game
between Gold Sand and E. B. H. S.
boys.
The first quarter showed the Gold
Sand boys in the lead. Indications j
were then that the visiting team would'
win, but not so for shifts were made
in out- team. When George Earp,
Bruce Sykes, Waverly Ivey and Wil
son Edwards went in, our team be
gan scoring. Tbe final score stood
4* to 8 in favor of Edward T3est.
Gold Sand boys showed a fine spirit.
It was outstanding how high their
loyalty and school spirit stood. Ed
ward Best boys showed skill in the
technique of ball playing. One, of
many other strong points in a ball
game, is a controlling of feeling in
a contesting hour.
The Disadvantage of Lying
Lying is a great disadvantage to the
human race of tqday. We can recall
many instances in which this state
ment proves true.
JV.Take for Instance our earliest days.
If we take up the habit of lying, soon
er or inter the reward will be a very
bad qne. We learn to have but little
confidence In people who are accused
of this horrible trait. Neither can
fany dependance be put In a person of
this type. Even though he might tell
the truth occasionally, but who could
believe him?
Lying lowers tlfe character of a
person quickly, and it is hard to put

back on a firm foundation. The man
that faces the world with truth finds
life much brighter than one of the
opposite type.
Let us remember the story of the
"boy and the wolf." The story shows
the disadvantage ot lying. The boy
whs keeping some sheep on a hillside.
The sheep were often attacked by a
wolf. One day the boy decided to hare
some fun, so he shouted to the top of
his voice "wolf, wolf." The men of
the village heard him and ran to help
him. But seeing no wolf they went
back to their work. In Just a short
while the same cry came to them.
Again thev left their work and hurried
to the calling boy. When they reached
the hillside they saw the boy was only
lying. Back to their work again they
returned. When the boy gave the third
call tor help he was really'in earnest,
but how could the people believe him
after he had lyed to them twice? The
wolf killed many. sheep, because the
boy had no help.
Not only In caBes like this Is lying
a disadvantage but in all others.
People are same times forced to
tell many lyes after telling one. The
