a coi.ege. i think rm as capable as
these children of judging where onej
can be taught. When these children
go to cities and see large hospitals
on busy streets, and schools with
scarcely any, and in many cases no
play ground they will realize their
assertions must have been amusing
to older people. I don't feel harsh
toward one cf them; they 'are just
at the age when most children think
themselves very wise, and should
have the great value of truth con
stantly impressed upon them.
The university and woman's college,
supported largely by thostate, have
been forced to refuse admission to
hundreds of applicants, yet they did
not mean that these boys, and girls
would not be welcome if there was
rocm for them.

no teacher should have allowed them
to be published when they contained
misleading statements. They also
said I reported sanitary conditions as
satisfactory. This is another fajse
statement. My letter contained noth

false.

colleges in the state and a fine school

my judgment as to a site for a build

too mature to even discuss the matter
with children of the tenth grade.
As to the out of town pupils, I am
sorry if some older heads have lead
them to imagine that I meant to make
them feel unwelcome. They repre
sented the school as being so crowded
that I suggested they be refused for
the present as the editor published

Mrs. Parker Replies.
To the Readers of The Robesonian
The editor was not satisfied at
publishing long articles' from others
attacking me concerning my article
in Monday's paper but devoted almost
a column to sarcastic and insinuating
remarks by himself. Now he limits
correspondence on the subject to one
half, column. Knowing that it would
be impossible to reply to their accusa
tions in that space without resorting
to words applicable to the attacks
but stronger than I wish to .use.' I
asked for paid 'space and was told it
would cost me ten cents per line. I've
decided to publish a short letter and
give the citizens of the town a de
tailed reply - through, .another source.

buy an inferior article and then criti
cise it publicly. I was reared in the
country and know that most country
schools are more thorough than the
town schools.
The editor failed to prove in a sin
gle instance that I had presented
fallacious arguments against the
bond issue. I wonder what he thinks
of his previous statement that there
wav nowhere to teach home econo
mics 'except on the auditorium plat
form? It isn't the business of the school
board to decide whether or not the
bonds shall be issued to buy this one
lot. The law places that responsibility
on the citizens of the town. Let's not
deal in real estate futures now.;

J'm going to take gpace to give to the
public a few facts not known to many

The proposed bond issue , allows
nothing for a school building and ad
ditional bonds must be voted before
we can get a building. These bands
less a special session is cuea taa
this is not proable.
That money cannot be used to buy
any school lot except the Carlyle lot
and the teacherage would be bought.
If we bought that lot there would be
room on it for a teacherage and we
would not need the present teacher
age. Some are favoring the bond
issue because they have been led to
believe that unless the bonds are is
sued the school board will have to be
personally responsible for the pay
ment of that debt. If -the school
board will go before the town board
of finance and show that a teacher
age is necessary and that they have
.selected one worth $7,500 this board
can approve tne purchase ana tne
teacherage can be paid for out of the
town funds just as other school bills

Tanlac, the celebrated medicine
which has been accomplishing such
remarkable results throughout this
country and Canada, is composed of
the most beneficial roots and herbs
known to science, ine tormuia is
purely ethical and complies with all
National and State Pure Food and
Drug Laws. Altogether, there are
ten ingredients in Tanlac. each of
which is of recognized therapeutic
value.
Many of these ingredients have
been individually known and used sice
civilization first began, and some of
them have been used and prescribed
by leading physicians everywhere,
but until they were brought together
in proper pronortion and association,
as in the Tanlac forsiula, humanity
had not heretofore realized their full
value and effect.
In referring to one of the more im
portant ingredients of Tanlac, the
Encyclopedia Brittanica says: "It
has been the source of the most
valuable tc.nic medicinos that have
ever been discovered." I:i referring to
others cf the general tonic drugs
contained in Tanlac, the 13th Edition
of Potter's Therapeutics, a standard
medical text book, states that "They
impart general tone and strength to
the entire system, including all
organs and tissues."
This same . well-known ' authority,
in descriging the physiological action
of still another of the ingredients of
Tanlac; which is of value in treating
what is commonly known as "a run
down condition," uses the following
It 13 highly esteemed in
convalescence
There are certain other elements
in Tanlac which, because of their in
fluence upon the appetite, digestion,
assimilation and elimination, improve
the nutritipn and vital activity of the
tissues and more important organs
of the body, and produce that state of
general tonicity which is called
Health.
The United States Dispensatory
makes the following comment regard
ing another ingredient: "It may be
used in all cases of pure debility of
the digestive organs or where a gen
eral tonic impression , is required.
Dyspepsia, atonic gout, hysteria and
intermittent fever are among the
many affections in which it has pro
ven useful.'
There are certain other ingredients
described in the Dispensatory and in
other standard medical text books as
having a beneficial action upon the
organs of secretion, whose proper
functioning results in the purification
of the blood streams passing through
them. In this manner objectionable
and poisonous ingredients of the blood
are removed and the entire system
invigorated and vitalized.
Tanlac was designed m-imarilv for
rne correction of disorders
stomach, liver, and bowels.

reconstructive tonic and body builder,
for it naturally follows that any

.If, the teacherage is worth the

J The. owners might rent, it to. the town.
'fSh purchase ..ofttke teacherage and
$he lot were included in one bond 'is
sue in order that they might pull
each other through.
f -Some ..people in the southern part
f town have been told that unless
the Carlyle lot is bought they may
have to send then- children te the
extreme northern end of town,
f This is a false statement to carry
k point. All the small children should
never be moved from the present
grounds until' we have at least two
other schools in different parts of
town.
There is room for a central graded
school and a high school on this lot.
Other graded schools could be built
irt other parts of town
One superintendent has charge of
an the schools in other towns, can t
it be done in Lumberton?
Fayeteville voted bonds for school
biuldings instead of lots, or perhaps
both, but they are to build five new
buildings and each one in a different
part of town.
. Did you ever stop to think why
some people were so interested
your children ?
Many people take advantage of
public school question to advertise
their generosity when, if you have
business dealings with them and give
them a chance they will rob you of
enough to more than pay the increase
in their taxes.
I do not know of a person in town
having no children who opposes
schools and who isn't willing to help
suport them; but we all feel that the
school funds should be handled with
even greater care than personal funds
order that the children may get

products must, therefore, have a far-
reacning and most beneficial effect
upon the entire system.
Although Tanlac's claims for su
premacy are abundantly supported by
the world's leading authorities, it is
the people themselves who have really
made Tanlac what it is. Millions
upon millions have used it with grati
fying results, and' have told other
millions what it has done for them.
That is' why Tanlac has become the
real sensation of the drug trade in
this country and Canada, and that is
slso' why H is 'having the largest1
&Je.cf oy .medicine ,o. jts .kind inj
value received for every dollar spent
I can't close without reference to
the mass meeting held recently in
the court room.
I was informed by parties present
that the only person who attempted
to disagree with the boosters of the
bond issue, and the only one who
gave any real information on the
subject was' treated with the utmost
disrespect and so interrupted that he
could not do himself or the cause
justice.
It is a reflection oh the chamber
of commerce that they should call a
meeting of the citizens to discuss the

All citizens should be accorded
equal rights in a meeting cf that

If you have registered you need not

that you have done your duty to de
