REWARD OFFERED BY
BOARD OF EDUCATION!
■
A definite move was started by'
the county board of education at(
their meeting Monday to stop dam-,
ago to school property. A reward of
ten dollars is being offered by the:
board to any person who provides
enough evidence for conviction of
any people guilty of destroying or ‘
damaging school property.
It was pointed out to the board
that many of the school buildings
had been damaged considerably since,
last term of school by people who
wantonly broke out window g’asses,
pulled pieces of board from the walls
and porches, did damage to shrub
be ry and tress on the school prop
erty and otherwise molested the
! premises. It is the intention of the
board that this shall not be repeat*
, cd, and that trespassing in any way i
on the school property shall be stop-1

SORGHUM RECEMB !
: ATTENTION AS FOOD
1 Sorghum sirup, home-made mo-1
. asses, or long sweetening, a pnla
I table southern farm crop and one
■ that has gained favor in North
; Carolina in these later years has
been the subject of considerable
I study bv the United States Pepart
|m?nt of Agriculture recently and its
i experts have found some valuable
, facts about the sirup.
The department has recently issued
i two mimeographed publications one
bearing the title, “How to Make Best
j Quality Sorghum Sirup” and the
j other, “How to Prevent Jellying and
i Slow Boiling and How to Prevent
j sugaring.” Both of these two in-'
! teresting circulars are adaptable to
I North Carolina and both may be had
i free of charge on application to the
Bureau of Chemistry and Soils,
United States Department of Agricul
ture. Mr. H. S. Paine, at the address
given, will send the two publications.
Mr. Paine recently sent rlmii K.
Wntre into this State to make some
I investigations into the growth of
sorghum tor sirup. i ne neia man was
surprised to find that most good
farms in the State grew at least a
patch of sorghum cane for sirup
purposes. He said that his office
would he glad to aid North Carolina
growers in producing a better quali
ty of product.
‘ Now that a sirup-making Dme is
approaching extension workers at
State Co lege, suggest that the two
publications issued by Mr. Paine
would be of value. The publications
point out how the quality of sirup is
affected by maturity of the cane;
tei' about when to grind; and give
definite a o d detailed instructions
about cooking the sirup. A sketch of
an evaporator and furnace is also
included.

TEACHER’S SAURY
IS STILL UNSETTLED
_
RALEIGH, Sept. 6—Final approv
al of the new salary schedule for
teachers as already approved by the
state school commission, is expected
this week by the state board of edu
cation, which must pass upon it to
make it final. It is also expected
that the schedule will be approved
virtually as drawn up by the school
eommisison, in spite of the effort
made last week by Attorney General
Dennis G. Brummitt to get the board
of education of which he is a member,
to increase the schedu'e 10 per cent.
The board refused to act upon his
motion deciding to defer any action
I until Governor Ehringhaus could be
i present.
Even if the board of education
.should decide to increase the new
•alary schedule 10 per cent as the
attorney general wanted it to do,
this action would have been nothing
mere than a gesture and would not
have resulted in the teachers getting
I any more money, it is pointed out
I here by those familiar with the facte
in the cpse. For the salary schedule
worked out by the school commission
is purely a temporary schedule based
upon the total amount of money
available for teachers’ salaries, so
that the teachers would not gst any
more money for the simple reason
that there isn’t any more money to
be had, even if the. board of educa
tion had decided to increase the
schedule by 10 per cent. The general
assembly appropriated only $16,
000,000 a year for the eight-months
school term for the next two years,
jand of that nmount only about
'$12,500,000 is available for salaries.

THE PRAYER CORNER
(From Files of the Brevard News) ,
THE PARTING
“As I write,” says an humble
Christian, “there hangs over my
head a picture of our valley. Softly
the light of day is taking its farewell
in the purpling beauty of the iower
slopes, .ight peeps through the
shadowy foliage and the still surface
of the lake mirrors the exquisite
beauty of the heavens. The view is
taken from the eastward and clearly
discernible. is the steeple of our little
church silhouetted against the west
ern sky line, where the upper slopes
are notched. Above it .pendant like
a jewel hangs the evening star. It
beers the title: “Sunset and Evening
Star.”
; “Twilight and Evening Star
And one clear call for me,
And may there be no moaning of the
bar.
When I put out to sea.
Twilight and evening tel),
And after that the dark!
And may there bo no sadness c.1
j farewell.
When I embark.
For though from out our bourne oi
Time and Place
The flood may carry me far,
I hope to see my pilot fare to face
When I have crossed the bar.”
! When Frances Ridley Havergal
was “just crossing the bar” or the
last day of her earthly life, a friend
was reading to her—The forty-second
chapter of Isaiah—and when she
reached the sixth verse: “I, the Lord
have railed thee in righteousness and
will hold thy hand and will keep
thee.” Miss Havergal motioned her
to stap -and then v’hispered, "Call
ed_Held-Kept.. ..Used. Well
. I will just go home on that.” Ana
so she died and it was enough.
4 PRAYER, FOR THE PARTING
Almighty Father, the God, not of
the dead but of the living, we have

hushed, and the fever of life is over,
and our work is done. Then of thy
great mercy, grant us a safe lodg
ing, a holy rest, and peace at the
last, Amen, Lord Jesus—Amen.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 6~ Prert
lent Roosevelt’s impromptu home*
»ming speech to 5,000 of his neigh*
jors fit Poughkeepsie has attracted
miversal attention. His confident
itatement that “We are definite'y
succeeding” in the National Recovery
Drive was-considered especially sig
nificant by the pres* of Europe. Hie
:>wn countrymen applauded this sen
timent and went much further in
Enthusiastic approval of his plea for
a deeper public interest in the form
at well as the affairs of government
down to ite smallest subdivision.
“You and I know," he said, “that
this arousing of people’s interest is
what has occurred in this year of
1088, and has made itself felt in the
National Capital. I think it is the
first time in our histo;*y that the Na>
tion as a whole, regardless of party,
has approved drastic changes in the
methods and functions at government,
without destroying tie basic prin
ciples. Perhaps I can best illustrate
by putting it this way, that we have
been extending to our national life
the old principle of the local com
munity, the principle that no indi
vidual hat a right to do thing* that
hurt their neighbors. In the old days
when there were only agricultural
communities, it was not fair to al
low cattle to roam on our neighbors’
land The extension of the idea is
recognized as no infringement on the
guarantee of personal liberty to the
individual. It is no mere a resriction
to tell a man that he must pay ade
quate wages than it is to tell him
that he must not hire child labor or
that he must not maintain a nuis
ance against his neighbors. The NRA
is being accepted by the people with
the understanding of what it is ail
about.
“Through government, the people
are extending as a permanent pan
of American life— not just for 2
years—their insistence that individ
uals and associations of individuals
shall cease doing many things that
have been hurting their neighbors.
The neighbors are the people of the
United States as a whole. The Gov
ernment at Washington must think
of them in a national sense and not
by States. We cannot single out ono
industry or one section at the expense
of others.
“But your responsibility does not
stop there. The greater part of gov
ernment as it affects your daily lire
and mine is your local government
When I was Governor I used to tell
people that we have in this State
13,000 local units of government. You
were all interested but you did noth
ing about it. I told you there were
over 960 highway departments in the
State of New York; that you hvefl
under eight layers of government,
paying taxes in all of them. You and
I know this to be an cut worn sys
tem, built up in the days of th6 ox
cart and unchanged in the oays ol
the automobile. Nothing will be dona
about it until you make your rep
resentative--on town and county
boards and in the legislature do
something about it. And if they wont
do it substitute them. This is not
politics, it is straight Duchess Coun
ty Americanism. ,
“More men and women are tax
ing a personal interest in the »oc;ai
relations, economic questions, ana
political problems than ever before.
I hope their interest will be ex
tended to the problems of the
government, with the thought that
v/»,at is good for my neighbor i»
good for me too.”
