Baltimore building trades mem bers to the number of 12,000 by vote declined to accept an increase in wages of from 90 cents to $1 an hour, an advance provided for in the scale formulated a year ago. In situations such as confront the building industry at this time a little sense is sometimes more valuable than much dollars. Congressmen say there is no prospect of a reduction in Federal taxation for the next two years. A few cltrks can be laid off here and there but the saving in this way will only be a drop in the bucket. The only appreciable cut that could be made would be in appropriations for the army aud navy. Bui as the voters in the last election didn't accept the League of Nations idea, the only practical one looking to a reduction in armament, immediate relief from cutting down military expenses does not seem to be in sight. The people, having made their beds, will have to lie on them. Only those can conplaim who puinted out a better way and were over-ruled. CATARRH CAN NOT BE CURED with local applications, as they cannot reach the seat of the disease. Catarrh is a local disease, greatly influenced by constitutional conditions, and in order to cure it you must take an internal remedy. Hall's Catarrh Medicine is taken internally and acts thru the blood on the mucous surfaces of the system. Hall's Catarrh Medicine was prescribed by one of the best physiciacs in this country for years. It is composed of some ol the best tonics known, com bined with some of the brst blood puri fiers. The perfeet combination of the U'rUieuui m hall's Catarrh Medicine is what produces such wonderful re sults in catarrhal conditions. K. J. CIlKNKY CO., Toledo, Ohio Jt-stiinonials sent free.

Realizing the urgent need For a more comfortable home fur the aged and infirm wards of ihe coun ty, a goodly number uf the "new citizens" (rum several townships made a visii to the Hoard of Com missioners in session ui Halifax on Monday, December 5 The delegjnon was most cour teously received and given an in terested and sympathetic hearing. ' Mrs. U'yche, of Roanoke Rapids, presented ihe petition which was published in the Roanoke Rapids Herald of Dec. 3rd, which a large number of citizens had embraced the opportunity, thereby attesting to their hearty approval of ihe movement. Mrs. J. A. Johnston, President of the Woman's Club, presenting the following petition : To the Honorable Board of Coun ty Commissioners. We, the representatives of the following organizations, of Wel don, The Woman's Club, The Book Club, The Thursday After-1 noon Club, The Junius Daniel Chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy, The Christian Temperance Union and Church Societies do respectfully request thai immediate steps be taken to better the conditions of the Coun ty Home, which, in its present stale, is a reproach to the County. We further request that a matron be employed, whose duty it shall be to see that the buildings are kept in a sanitary condition, and wholesome and nourishing food and comfortable clothing provided for the inmates. We urge that a suitable location be secured on which at the earliest possible date a modern home be erected, which shall be adequately equipped and efficiently managed. We recommend that a Visiting Committee, consisting of three women, be appointed by the Coun ty Commissioners; these, with the County Commissioners, to consti tute a Board of Supervisors for said Home. Respectfully submitted. To this was affixed the signatures of representatives from each of the above-mentioned organizations. Mr. George C. Green, county attorney, in behalf of the Board, stated that they fully realized the need and for two years had been considering the establing of a new home, but had been unable to se cure suitable location. In response to the petitions pre sented by the Weldon delegates a Board of Visitors, consisting of the following ladies to serve for a term of two years was appointed: Mrs. J. M. Jackson, of Roanoke Rapids; Mrs. J. A. Johnston, of Weldon, and Mrs. S. M. Gary, of Halifax. This committee was also instructed to find a suitable location for the home, and report to the Board on the first Monday in Jan uary. It is hoped that at an early date we may have a building which will not only be a credit to the county, but by its accessibility may afford an opportunity for those so desiring to bring cheer and com fort into the lives of ihe inmates. Over fifty years ago a young Dhyaiciao practiced widely in a rural district and became famoua for hit uniform euecvsa In th curing of disease. This was Dr. Pierce, who afterwards estab lished himaelf in Buffalo, N. Y.. and placed one of hit prescriptions, which he called "Golden-Medical Discovery," in the drug stores of the United State to that the pub lie could easily obtain this very remarkable tonic, corrective and blood -maker. Dr. Pierce manu factured this "Discovery" from, roots and barks corrective remedy, the ingredients of which nature had put in the fields and forests, for keeping us healthy. Few folks or families now living have not at sometime or other used this "Golden Medical Discovery" for the stomach, liver and heart Over twenty -four million bottles of this tonic and blood remedy have been sold In this country.

If it is to retain its title as one of the great, pro gressive states of the union it must at once set itself to the task of building an adequate system of higher education. Higher educa tion has broken down in North Carolina. There never was a time when trained leadership was so much in demand; there never was a time when young men and young women were so eager to secure training; and, there never was a lime when the educational insmu lions ot norm Carolina were so helpless in meeting ihii need. The co!!c;:s of ilic State are overcrowd ed. At lean two thousand five hundred North Carolina young men and young women were re fused admission in our university and colleges this autumn. No State could be proud of this fact. Of course the State should be proud to know that its sons and daughters are seeking education. but it must be a matter of shame to know that such education cannot be provided by the State. The challenge seems clear, Nonh Carolina has wealth. This State is as capable of furnishing education to its people as any State in the Jnion. The people want that education. The only question which now remains is this: Do the citizens of North Carolina pos sess the sentiment and the will to translate wealth into terms ot ever lasting values? N. C.
