The Messenger and Intelligencer A STATEMENT The Colored People of Anton and Adjoin ing Counties of North and South Carolina Through their Church and Social Organiza tions are Joining Forces to Make the Wades boro Graded School for Negroes the Best Public School in the South. For some months past, the School Board of Anson County have taken a special interest in the Negro School at Wadesboro. Especially on account of the earnest ac tive work of Rev. J. K. Faion, R. J. Beverly and other prominent colored people who are anxious to have a practical, helpful School for those who would have more than an ordinary education. The Slater School Fund managers wanted to help because the colored people were making an effort to help themselves. Dr. Joyner of Raleigh, X. C, heard of the State School Work, wanted to help, because, Negroes were aiming at Industrial education. Hoping to have their children to know how to do things with their hands, as well as their heads, The good men at the head of the School Board of Anson are willing to help the Negroes and have done so because they are always ready and anxious to encour age the best element of the Colored race in Anson to car ry out any plans for the betterment of their race. To specially encourage the colored people in this work, the School Board asked Mr. Mclver, head of the White Graded School, to supervise the work being done He readilv consented and has eiv- en the prominent Negroes back of this school enterprise his most earnest assistance. Surrounding the school building and the two acres of land belonging to it is a large acreage owned by Mr. J. T. Patrick which has been plotted into lots for the col ored people exclusively. Mr. Mclver appealed to Mr. Patrick to help the work, and asked him if he would give or sell at reduced prices about twenty of the building lots, so as to add to the School grounds on account of additional buildings that was necessary. Mr. Patrick agreed to give the lots and a thousand dollars in addition provided the Colored Ministers of the County make a unanimous effort to back ,up the work which the Board of School managers of the County was willing to endorse and aid. Mr. Patrick said to the negroes, "I must first know that the negroes who are most interested are willing to help themselves. They have been relying upon the white people to do all and they do nothing. It's time they were uniting in helping themselves. It is known by all especial ly by the Colored people, themselves, that I am not only willing but anxious to help them. But I repeat, they have received the white people's money and help so long, they don't know how to help themselves. "I am not only willing to part with the land they want but I will give the Colored people the opportunity to buy all or the larger part of the lots surrounding their school, while lands are low and money plentiful. And I will come to Wadesboro and give my time to the leading colored men, who are trying to get for their people an Industrial and Agricultural School as well as a literary institution. At all times have I urged the Negroes to learn to be bet ter and more competent laborers, mechanics, and house keepers. "Every one in this County knows how I have gone among them, and worked to get them interested in doing things, in owning homes, and improving the homes they had already bought." One saving quality of the negro, says Mr. Patrick, is when he gets a piece of real estate no one can cheat him out of it. He won't even divide it with his minister and his church, Mr. Patrick has come to Wadesboro and is active at work helping. He is working under the appro val of Mr. Mclver, trying to get the Negroes United. His headquarters are at the Wood and Iron Works Building and those Colored people who want to join for ces with the best element of the Negro race in making the Wadesboro Colored Public School the best in the South, had better go and say to him, "I am willing to help the cause and am willing to do my part in having you to give the land and the thousand dollars." We believe in educating our children so that they will be prosperous men and women, and an honor to our race, and we shall put forth our best efforts to get all the Ministers and church people in this whole section to join in the work for this school enterprise. Such words will encourage Mr. Patrick, and every good white man in the County to help us in carrying out our purpose. Let every colored person act at once so that this school undertaking can go forward right now and with the greatest speed and energy, 'that has ever been known of in ahy Colored Community. The white people are willing to help now and the colored people ought to show them by their own efforts that they appreciate what, they are doing and are willing to do for us. The undersigned is a part of a committee of two hundred colored people who have been designated as an advisory committee to assist in this effort, and to be the medium of communication between the white and colored Eeople of Anson and surrounding counties, who want to elp in this great educational movement : LOUISE THOMAS, , SANDY INGRAM, W. T. BYRD, B. J. DARGAN, J. A. BRIDGES, DR. E. L. THOMAS. KILL THE RATS. Dr: David E. Lantz of the U. S Dept. of Agriculture who had made a .special study of the rat, states in bul letin No. 89 that the rat is the worst animal in the world. The rat carries many diseases fatal to man and has been responsible for more untimely deaths among human beings than all the wars of history. In the United State rats and mice each year destroy crops and other property valued at $200,000,000. On many farms if the grain eaten and wasted by rats and mice could be sold the proceeds would more than pay all the farmers tares. The common brown rat breeds 6 to 10 times a year and produces an aver age of 10 young at a litter. Young females breed when only three to four months oTd at this, rate a pair of rats breeding uninterruptly and with out deaths would at the end of three years (18 generations) be increased to 359,709,482. Dr. Lantz suggests several wavs of i . . -. . - destroying rats, many different traps reccommended but he states that the single spring tran is one of the most successful but not to depend on one or two traps but get several. Dr. Lantz states that there are manv different poisons that can be used successfully but there is no poison that, will kill $he rat dry it up and keeD it from smelling. He also states we must or ganize to rjd communities of rat3 for they will go from one farm to another if one farmer rids his placs of rats and his neighbors do nnf he will soon hye as many AS ever, Rules and Regulations By the Anson County Board of Health Relative to the Control of Spanish Influ WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO WITH IT? There is hardly a grown up man or ! woman in Anson and surrounding I counties but what has a pocket full i Jn r?Pr cups, a of money, and more coming in, and required for each tne question is what are they going to do with this money? The first thing they should do is to put it in one of the banks. Every week there are hundreds of dollarg lost to the people of the state by keep ing money in their homes. Frequent ly the papers in the Pee Dee section tell about some white or colored man selling his load of cotton and on the way home losing his money. If he had been a good business fanner he would have said to the banker where he was getting his check cashed, "won't you "lease deposit that to my credit and let me pay my debts by giving checks?" Every dollar in An son county should be deposited in An son county banks. That's good busi ness advice. The best business men do deposit their money in the banks. Why not you? The second thing thev should do is to invest in Liberty Bonds and War oavings stamps ana tnus aid in whin- ping the Germans during the next twelve months. The third thing they should do is to invest the money in improving their homes and lands. Everv one in the county has money enough to buy a home of their own or land on which to build a home later, either in town or the country. The white people of moderate means can take a good les son from the colored people. The col ored people of Anson and in fact all through this section are doing two mighty good things. Sending thfir children to school and investing mon ey in lands and homes. Don't spend money for any thmg you are not absolutely in need of. Put it m tne DanK until you nave enougn to buy you a piece of land or a town lot. Advt. Sintcre Gratitude.

Pur suant to this advice, and deeming such regulations immediately advis able, the County Board of Health adopts thhe following Rules and Regulations, which shall be in Force as from this date and until fur ther ordered by this Board.

Go to bed. Take a purgative medicine. Call a physician as early in the morning as possible. They cannot work night and day and hold out long. Do not delay your own treatment until the physician's arrival, as he will be very busy.

I suffered from continual headache, was unable to digest my food, which seemed to lay as a dead weight on my stomach. I was very constipated and my com plexion became dark, yellow and mud dy as I felt. Sleeplessness was added to my misery, and I would awake as tired as when I went to sleep. I heard of Chamberlain's Tablets and found such relief after taking them that I kept up the treatment for nearly two months. They cleansed my stomach, invigorated my system, and since that time I can eat and sleep in comfort. I am today entirely well."
