the schools and patrons affected
demand a change.
His old friends in Chatham

Several weeks ago the Chat

Mr. R. O- Buchanan, who
runs the ferry at Avent's Ferry
on the Cape Fear river in this
county, was in our office Monday
and told us of a remarkable pig
which he owns. The pig follows
its owner wTherever he goes, just
like a dog. A few days ago when
Mr. Buchanan was starting on a
trip across the river he looked
behind and saw his pigship
plunge in the water and follow
the ferry across the river, a dis
tance of over 500 feet, arriving
safely on the other side just as
Mr. Buchanan made a landing.
The Siler City Grit is requested
to take notice of this, the cham

County Health Board.
As previously noted in The
Record, the last Legislature
made several changes in the pub- j
lie health laws, which it is hoped ;
will improve local health condi-
tions materially. In place of the '
county sanitary committee a
couflty board of health is created
whose functions are much more
distinctive than those of the
county sanitary committee, the
sole duty of the new board be
ing the care of the county health.
The county board of health is
composed of five members select
ed as follows: "The chairman
of the board of county commis
sioners, the mayor of the coun
ty town and the county superin
tendent of schools shall meet to
gether on the first Monday in
April, 1911, and thereafter on
the first Monday in January in
the odd years of the calendar,
and elect from the. regularly reg-
! istered physicians of the county
two physicians, who, with them-.
selves, shall constitute the coun
ty board of health."
In accordance with the above
provision of the law, , the three
first named officials in the pre
ceding paragraph, viz., Messrs.
C. D. Moore. B. Noes, and R. P-
by local applications, as they cannot reach the dis
eased nort.oa 01 the ear. 'lhcre is only one way to
cure deafness, arid that Is by constitutional remedies, i
Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition oi the
mucous lining pi the Eustachian Tube. When this
tuue Is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or lm
lioncrt hcuriiisi, and when It la eatin-ly closed. Deaf
ness Is the result, and unless the inlluinmation can be
taKcn out and this tube restored to Its normal condi
tion, hearing will be destroyed forever: nine cases
out of tea are cifuscd by Catarrh, which Is nothing
but an itillained condition of the mucous surfaces.

IF every stalk in an acre were full of bolls, it
would produce 2 to 3 bales per acre. But a
uniform cotton crop positively demands uni
formly mixed fertilizer. If some stalks receive
rightly proportioned fertilizer and others DON'T, you
will find "fat" stalks and "lean" stalks alternating;. These
"runts" pull down the average per acre.
