LEADS THE WHOLE WORLD.
In the Enlargement of Publtc School
Ground!.
E. A. Winship,editor of the Jour
nd of Education, published in Boa
ton, makes the leading! article in his
magazine for January on education
in the South, devoting the first three
pages tov North Carolina. After
paying many tributes to the people
of this State and reviewing the ed
ucational progress in North Carolina,
Mr. Winship says:
One of Dr. Joyner'a , greatest
achievements b the enlargement of
school grounds. So far as I know,
North Carolina leads the world in
this regard. Since 1905,. the ad-,
vance has been great. Often the
county superintendent can find some
publio spirited citizens who will con
tribute land adjoining the school lot,
so that there art many schools with
grounds of three, four, six or even
ten acres.
"These enlarged grounds are util
ized for school gardens. Raising
cotton thereon is quite popular.
Schools often raise two bales of cot
ton in a season on the school lot.
"Panther Branch township on a
two-acre lot, raised $309 and in 1908
this school won a gold medal from
the National Corn Show for the best
yield per-acre on school grounds.
"In case no land is donated for
this purpose the county superin
tendent may appoint a commission
of three citizens who may condemn
and obtain by due process of law
two acres for the enlargement of a
school lot."

REV. T. M. JOHNSON WRITES.
Gives Some of Ills Impressions ot the
Great Laymen's .Meeting Held In
Greensboro January 12 to I I.
Mr. Editor: Will you allow me
space to express some of my impres
sions of the Laymen's Missionary
Movement and of the Greensboro
Convention, January 12-14.
The Aim of The Movement.
This movement started in New
York about four years ago in a pray
er meeting. It purposes puttin
the Gospel of Christ within reach of
every person in the world during
this generation, beventy-hve con
ventions are being held in as many
cities throughout the United States.
The'one of these conventions alloted
to North Carolina was held in
Greensboro January 13-14.
The Bigness of It.
The moevment is big. The
Greensboro convention was big.
The final count showed, that 1521
men, not counting the speakers, had
paid the one doll .r entrance fee and
attended the convention. Of these
793 were Greensboro citizens; 109
from Winston; 52 from Charlotte;
49 from High Point; 35 from Ral
eigh; 20 from Wilmington; 14 from
Durham and Goldsboro ech; the
rest from smaller places. By de
nomination there were 497 of 'the
M. E. Church, South; 426 Presby
terian; 219 Baptist; 89 Episcopalians;
68 Meth. Protestants; 51 Friends;
43 of the Reformed Church; 40 Mo
ravians; 38 Christians; 14 Luther
ans; 7 A. R. Presbyterians; 20 not
specified. '
feplendtd Work.
The Greensboro people joined
heartily with Secretary Brown in
arousing interest in every part of
the state. And they did ir. Nearly
onebalf of the more than fifteen
hundred in attendance came from
outside of Greensboro. The deputa
tions going out to' various "parts bf
the state aroused great interest in
the movement even before the con
vention. Had a stranger who had
never heard of the Laymen's Move
ment looked in on that splendid as
sembly of men of the first session
be would have seen and felt that
somethingjoutof the ordinary was on.
The interest deepened and the atten
dance increaseu as the sessions went
by. The wcme.i, at first admitted to
the gallery, were excluded and the
men, full of enthusiasm and getting
fuller all the time, crowded in and
filled the vast auditorium, theSunday
School room and the galleries. It
was an inspiration that vast assem
blage of men came together for the
Misters ' business. The women
caught the spirit or already had it
and filled, during each session, an
other large church a little way down
the street.
It Is a Laymen's Movement.
Not ministers but laymen. Not
laywomen but laymen. It has been
said often, sometimes regretfully,'
sometimes contemptuously, some
times sneeringly, bit alas too truth
fully, that the women and children
with the preachers, do the church
work. But now the men are taking
their turn. This is the laymen's
inning. The women were crowded
out, even from the galleries, to make
room for the men at church!
There is in the movement some
thing, it would seem, , to appeal to
every man. If he has no interest
in life except a commercial interest,
there is in the Laymen's Movement
that wh.ch opens up and extends
the commerce of the world on a gi
gantic scale. If he is possesed of
that American spirit that delights
in enormously big enterprises, the
Laymen's Movement affords him a
splendid field of operation. If he is
a "practical" man and asks whether
the thing really can be done, you
may tell him it has been 'ifigured
out" and it can be done. If he has
a heart of charity for his- fellowmen
and of love for his God, he may help
to perform tbe greatest charitable
and religious act of the ages. The
fact is this undertaking has stirred,
not so much the emotions, but tbe
deeper passions of men. This was
evident in the Greensboro coirven
tion. Not only were men there, they
were there for a purpose.

earnest; hence interested and thrill

stirred to their best effort the speak
ers. The charts, maps, and placards
with missionary figures, facts and
thoughts hanging about the audience
room tiught through the eve while
the speaker taugbt through the ear.
Tbe speakers who have been on
the field as missionaries' evidenced
the fact that they are hopeful and
happy in the work. They see that
the thing onght to be done and
know from a Hiissionary's point of
view that it can be done. The lay
men in the movement have "figured
on it" and know from a business
man's point of view thai it can be
done.
The attendance in Greensboro sur
passed that of similar conventions
in Buffalo, Cleveland, Baltimore and
Richmond; also excelled in the out-
of-the-city attendance the New York
convention.
A number of the epeakers remain
ed over for the followjup meetings in

A STARTLING STATEMENT.
New York Medical Authorities Claim '
Dyspepsia to be a Pre-l)lsposing
Cause of Consumption.
The post mortem statistics of the
big New York hospitals show that
some cases of consumption are due,
at least indirectly, to unchecked dys
pepsia, especially when the victim
was predisposed to tuberculosis.
Dyspepsia wears out the body and
brain. The weakened, irritable
stomach being unable to digest food,
the body does not receive the requir
ed nourishment, and the victim be
comes thin, weak and haggard. As
a result, the body becomes a fertile
field in which the germs of disease
may lodge and flourish.
Therefore, the person who permits
dyspepsia to progress unhindered is
guilty of contributing toward the
development of one of the most fatal
diseases known to mankind.
Dyspepsia may be completely era
dicated if properly treated. We sell
a remedy that we positively guaran
tee will completely relieve indiges
tion or dyspepsia, or the medicine
used dnriug the trial will cost the
user nothing.
This remedy has been narasd Rex
all Dyspepsia Tablets. Certainly
uo offer could be more fair, and our
offer should be proof positive that
Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets are a de
pendable remedy.
Inasmuch as the medicine will
cost you nothing if it does not bene
fit you, we urge you who are suffer
ing with indigestion or dyspepsia to
try Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets. A
25 cent box contains enough medi
cine for "f teen days' treatment. For
chronic cases we have two larger
sizes, 50 cents and $1.00. Remem

back, swelling of the ankles and feet, back
ache or urinary disorders. In such cases
try Pineules. They will be found an excel
lent remedy in all cases of kidney troubles.
