( ,, Tto bubonio plague which is play ing each havoc with the people in India is one of the oldest and most fatal plagues that is visited upjo the Inhabitants of the . earth. In India the people are thick"! j settled and; the popafation is so dense in most parts that the lands will barely produce enough food fo their sustenance and consequently a short crop produces much hunger among the poor.' The accounts of the suffering people that are stricken with plague and famine re almost heart-rending. Mr. J A Calbreth has an article in this issue in behalf of 'these sufferers. Every one who feels so disposed is asked to contribute something. Starvation is terrible but accompanied by a deadly : plague is doubly so. The New Trk World says of the "bubonic plague: . The plague first appeared in . Eu-, 'rope in tb-s year 544 A. D. The most conservative estimates place the num ber of deaths in Europe alone from this cause at twenty-five millions. In the eighth century 200,000 per sons died of the plague in Constanti sople alone. ' Again in 1611 the mor tality ia that city reached the same appalling figures, In 1664-5 the -deaths in London were about 100,000 tin spite of the faet. ihat most f the population fled. 1 is-htty ihousand -persons fell victims at Marseilles in 1720. Eight hundred thousand died in I Egypt in 1792.. Still more appalling is a compari- .son'of averages; The reports from various places ia India during the jrdsent outbreak show that; about 96 per ceEt. or mnety-siz in a hundred -f of all the persons attacked by the .idisease have died. j Now, the deadliest epidemic we 'Lave ever, -had in this country was fat!0f yellow fever ia 1878-9 In1 ' itbat outbreak there 4ere a total of 5,976 case!, of which only 14,809 lied. That is to say, the percentage of taortality was only a fraction over 2 per (Oect.j agdnst the plague's reo ,ord of 96 per pent. ' - AVby Teachers Have Pid. !ot ISeen Feb. 6th, '97. jfeffc. Sion A. Hakkinqton, Harrington, Iff. V "Dear Sir: In compliance with your Request I herewith hand you a atate-4 juut o tke apportionment of the school .fund as inadety the commissioners on .Jr.n. 6th,' 1807." 'J'Jje apportionment was made on the Treasurer's report as the )la,v;d4r.c.ts. This , report showed that Uc amount Jthat would be received by JtUrtou account ,of the taxes as appears fin the tax books for 1S96 and from fine3 4ind liquor ricenseita amounted to $5324. .40. HU report also shows that there yas; $IG43.3T du several districts : yhitc and cojored," and about jUaHy divided bctveen the races, aud that there was not any fundi Iu his bands to pay said amouut, upon thU iuforiuation and guiding tht there had not been any set tlement with the Treasurer within the Jast two years, embracing the taxes of 1894 and 8'J5, the Board charged him With the amount that he had received On said fund" for 1894 and '95 amount to $9570.12. V Upon a settlement we found that the Treasurer had expended j9868. 67, leaving a balance in his favor pt $298,23. Upon tills showing and by further examination he Board became Satisfied as to the correctness of the5 . claimj that there had beeu $1643.37 more apportioned to the school fund than hud bleu received.. This -deficit ould. not be so large except from a loss of due by Sheriff McArtaii and 03.30 released to A. L, Byrd, ex-Treas-urer, and also $300.00 due by the county fund, none of which is available at this time, and when collected, if ever, then pan and should be apportioned. The Board then in Justice to the Districts, that appeared would be at that lime the looser of this amount, first set apart the Rum of $1645.37 to meet the deficit and fipportloned the balance as the lavy di rects. Qn aceoir.it' Qf this deficit and 8 hools being tr.Ught In most of the Dis tricts last year a good Tuauy teachers were unable to get their pay after they jad rendered their service, this should not be so. .Hut It Is apparent that It would be as loi as thj obstacle existed and 'the Dl-trjets that t-iught their schools early would- get their money While rhofce u1m cnc lAte would ' fail," thereby chijgjn this loss "every year to f lie District that were last in teaching fhelr seooU, The present Board fh'MirhtJt fust, equitable $ud right that this los should be shared equally by the Vcral Districts cf the county, and In fhe fuiir there would be no trouble gbQjt teachers getting thetr pay, Vbyrs renpectfuil .John A. Qheic Mr Editor Allow me Fpace in your paper for a abort letter in regard t the famine in India. In. addition to what I bad ' read in the papers, I received a letter from Miss Mattie Perry, who is engaged in M ssioo work, some over a week ago telling me lomething of the condition of the people over there. Our tniesionaries re doing all they can io the way of taking e ire of, the;' starving people, but they do not bare means sufficient to meet the demands of the crisis, and many who aire perishing have to bj? turned away from their homes with out help. This lady wrote me that little children were taken up who were so near perished, that when thej would eat anything they would die immediately I went out on Monday morning aad gave some of the good people of Dunn . an opportunity to help and in time to get it off on .the moining train I had $65 for them, and thought I would write tbisvletter for last week's issue , of your r paper and give jotbers an opportunity to give something for the sufferers, but was so busy in moving I did not have! time to write Since . then . I have read extracts from letters from mis sionaries and their accoufit of the situation is horrible. In. one of the letters the writer say s: ' I have often 1 thought my Own ' life . was gradually going out wjith care and anxiety over these children. " They come with bones thrust through their skin with eyes turned inside out, with dy: eatery , pholera and everything. Children five and six years old were brought in baskets because they eould not walk." .. It is not necessary for me to quote further, as the papers have had so much to -ay about it that read ing people .know of it. I jqst simply want to say that I "will take pleasure in forwarding any amount that the people feel disposed to give, and hope to receive a good large contribution for them, and they will ge the; bene fit of all the monev given as there will he no expense to be paid between here and them. As I will ho be "in Dunn no to receive the contributions of those in and around town, I would ask that yon leave your contributions with Bro. D. II. Hood who will, I'm sure take pleasure in forwarding it to me. Don't think that your contribution would be too small to help. Any will help, and we are greatly blessed here in this land, and should iielp the sufferers all we can. The crumbs that fall from bur tables would be a wholesome dish for the little starving children. Help all you can and the Lord will bless you in return. J. A. Culbbeth, Jan. 25, 1897.
