Purcell. ' F. P. Wetmore. PUROELL & WETMORE, Laud and Drainage Surveying, Realizing th the best results frtifca schoo work the child must be made comfortabl and the school made attractive, we have bu il ia the last, few years, fifteen nice school buildings, -co&tint from $500 to $4000. A great many other buildings have beer, remodeled. About thirty have been supplied with patent desks and new blackboards. Through the Wo mans' Bet terment Association great in terest has been taken in beauti fying the school grounds, and decorating the" walls with in spiring pictures. In order that the children in the countrj might have equal advantages with the children in town in the way of reading, and preparing themselves for cellege, we have iaken advan tage of the act passed in 1901 in regard to the rural libraries. We have now thirty-eight ol these libraries eonsisting of about four thousand rolumns distributed in every section ol the county. In a great manj of the schools where the teach ers have made efforts to get tiie children interested in tht library, I find' that they have read all the books and several schools haveTaised an addi tional f5.00 so that they might secure the filvetn dollar sup plementary library. We have twenty -five school in the county with more than one ttaher, and while the schools are doing high school ! work, yet so as to bring about a more uniform system in the high school course, and tQ.g've every boy and girl a more thorough training or prepara tion for eollege free of tuition. Applications were made lhi& yrarto theSiate board loi four public high schools. We have receutly received notice from the State st perintendent thai the applications have been approveri. 1 hese schools ar located at Orrum, llowland, Philadelpuus and Lurab.r We have not forgotten the fact that "just as the teache? is, so is the school. In order to secure better teachers and better work we have been trv ing to pay ths teacher accord ing to his work. In 1900 th. Salary of the teaeher was froiv 25 to $40 per month- We arr paying the first grade teacher sow from fio to $100 pr month. Besides this we h a County Teachers Associatii. which meets several time dur ing the tehee 1 year. At thesc meatings we always have a good attendance, never below fifty Bv attending the eetina" much enthusiasm is aroused, new ideas created, and a desire awakened to become bettei teachers. We also have an association for each race. At a meeting of the colored teachers a few. o'aj s ago forty leathers were present'and vtr two hundred committeemen. The Croatan indians are be coming more interested in edu cation than ever before. One tb'iat? whieh has held them baei has been the lack of teacher for their schools. We have sixteen teachers now and they are doiuggood work. In the white schools one hun dred and ten teachers are at present employed and nearly all of the schools are in esion. The monthly reports of each school sho .v that they have a good attendance. Taking into consideration our two charter ed gradd schools in Lumber ton and Maxton, f-r public high sehools, twenty two local tax districts and thirty eight libraries and then a visit to some of the following schools, such as Orrum, Fairmont, Row land, Centenary, Alfordsville, Lumber Bridge, Parktonf Philadelphus, Red Springs and others, I am sure you will agree with me that there is not a eounty in the State ahead of us in public education, or a county that has ma le greater progress. J R. Poole, County Superintendent Deprecates Any Talk of Reward ing Her for Her Many Rescues. Newport Dispatch to Nw York W orld. Away out' on the end oi Newport's rocky cl.ffs, where reat waves break incessant! against the rocks, a World mai tday found and talked with Ida Lewis, the aged keeper ol t ie Lime Rock Light, who has b;en singled out by theSociet) of the American Cross of-flon-or as the bravest woman ii Amtrica. and so entitled to wear its cross. After clambering up th rocky trail, the visitor knocked at t ie door. It was opened b a origiii-iaceu little woman. iicr hands covered with dough. her apmn whitened with flour. but w.th a happy, kindl smile. 'I had received a letter from some society, telling me that son. She has "tended tht- light for fifty years. Her hair is but slightly tinged with gray. She is of medium height, well formed, but inclined to be frail. She cleans, oils, and runs the light that warns mariners off this dangerous ledge, ad never have mariners found it dimmed. . Politicians often tried to get her job as keeper of the light until Congress finally passed an act appointing her keeper for life. Although seventy years o; ge, her cheeks are tinged-with color and her eves areas bright and as alert as those of a younp girl. BRIGHTER FINANCIAL SKIES. Clouds Hanging Over the Moot) Market are Now Rolling Away. New To.k Herald. There was a notable brighten ing of the financial skies yester day, and there is every indica-1 tion that the new year will open with a complete restoration of normal monetary conditions. The announcement that the Hamilton Bank would pass from the hands of the receiver and re open its doors had a good effect upon the public sentiment, sug gesting that with the return of easy money other institutions that could not stand the recent strain may be enabled to borrow upon their collaterals and re sume business- . It is gratifying to note that, although tbe period of sixty days required by saving banks from depositors who wished to with draw their funds has expired, the depositors in this and other cities are not calling for ttieir money. With the general res toration of confidenceout-of-town banking institutions have ceased to pile up needless reserves and the drain in the interior is now slight. As a result of this most of the five millions gold which arr rived from Europe during the week re mains at this centre, and the statement of the clearing house banks to-day should show a fur ther important increase in re serves. Chicago banks have canceled more than one-half the scrip recenMy issued by their clearing house, aud at Pittsburg it is announced that beginning with the new year the banks will be able to supplv in cash the mil jlion dollars a day needed for pay rolls in that great industrial cen tre. In these circumstances it is not surprising that the premium I was brave, or something of that kind," she said, "but 1 gets many letters f rom al kinds of people that I did not pay any attention to it. So they say I'm brave" and sht laughed a meiry, musital laugh. When asked to tell of her rescues she said; "All I can say is that I have made eighteen from before the war to 1896. But I don't care anything for records. If I saw you out there" and she point ed out into the raging surf "and your boat had capsized, 1 would go to your reseue. "I was asked to take a medal last year, but I refused it. I pulled a woman out of the water orr nere. iter name wae Miss Walker. She was dress ed so handsomely that I was very sorry for her. Her friend come and told me. a lot of nice things, .and that I must have a Carnegie inedal. I told them I did not care about medals Then a committee waited ori me and I refused to "accept any medal. It was no rescues nothing like the others' and I never even numbered it among the rescues I had made." She related that it was a summer visitor who had been capsized in a boat; and sne went out in her boat and res cued her. "They told me she would hav3 drowned had I not pulled her out, but I did not care any thing about that.

As might be expected in iew of the rolling away of so many clouds that have been hanging over the money market, there was an improved demand tor securities, and a smart rise was scored in many issues. It is well, however, that speculation on the stock exchanges abroad and at home is still very limited in volume. What the country needs to complete the restoration of con fidence, set free the funds that have been tied up and start the wheels of industry and trade re volving again at full speed is not the operations of stoclr specula tors, but the stock oajing of ic- vastors, to wuom the markets bargains as dreaded disease that scicure has been i they may never again be able to able to cure jn all us stages, ana mai is Catarrh Hall's Catarrh Cnre is th a only What the Blind Are Eolng.
