, fhy Kot H?tt Tbe Best
School in
Toe County?
Raltigh, (N. C.) Progressive Farmer.
"Yes. that neighborhood has
the best school in the county."
When you hear this said about
a community what a pleasing
picture at once flashes through
your mind! You only see the
pretty, painted, attractive school
building, with well-kept grounds,
but a joyous picture of thetnrift
and enterprise and progress of
tbe entire community also sug
gests itself. You know that if
the neighborhood has the beBt
School in the county, then it
must be that about the beBt peo
ple live in it already, and that
more good people are coming to
it for a good school always at
tracts good citizens like a mag
net. You know that the fact
that these people have had the
enterprise to get the beBt school
hi the county means, too, that
they are wide-awake about every'
thing that they live in good
homes; that they have painted
their houses; that they are using
improved implements and ma
chinery; that they are getting
better roads; that there is a
wholesome social life ar,d that
the young people are happier,
and that in a hundred other
ways the school and the spirit it
represents have made their in
fience felt in brightening the
lives of the people round-about
All the sesuggestionB lead di
rectly to another thought: Why
shouldn't your neighborhood
have the best Bchool in the coun
andltyi or at least one of the best?
It would take a little determina
tion and co-operation on the part
of the people in your community.
First of all, get your district
go enlarged or arranged as to
provide proper support for a
school. Then vote whatever lo
cal tax is necessary in order to
get an adequate school term,
This will cost money but so does
seed corn cost money. Still one
doesn't mind putting valuable
seed corn into the ground when
he knows that it is going to
bring a good harvest in the fall.
The harvest of returns from the
school-tax investments are just
assure. Next, you want to get
a good teacher and want to pay
him or her enough to keep him
with the school not merely for
one term but as long as he can
do goood work. Finally, get
these practical courses introduc
ed. Let tbe boyB learn the scien
tific .principles that will have
practical application in farm life.
Let the girls learn the principles
of domestic science. And let
both boys and girls give a proper
amount of time to the principles
of sanitation and hygiene how
to live right and how to keep
well. . Let your school give ade
quate training along these three
practical lines then ground the
student thoroughly in the Three
R's and if the parents have done
their part, you need have no fear
as to the sort of men and women
your community will turn out.

I am sending you under sepa
rate cover a Chinese sacred cym
bling and a nice, clean, swell
head water gourd for the Star
office to be used as a mascot to,
keep off hookworm, apDendicitis,
anthrox, trichinosis, pellagra and
all those other ailments that peo
ple didn't uBter have when they
drank out 'of gourds, yes, nice,
clean gourds. This member of
the cucurbitaceous family 1b of
remote antiquity. The prophet
Jonah had a fine one growing
over his "shack" and a worm
stung it and it withered, leaving
poor old Jonah with the hot sun
broiling down on his head. In
old times "before the war", there
were all kinds of uses to which
gourds were put; the most im
portant were the salt gourds no
family was without one-tbe soap
gourd, the milk gourd,:the grease
fr.ourd for lard (tbev raised bush
el gourds then), the dip gourd,
but the gourd that I thought the
most of was the cider gourd. It
held over two quarts and hung
by the cider barrel and you could
drink and drink and noboy knew
nor cared how much you drank.
There wasn't any chills or fever
then, especially when the cider
got hard. If those Pepsi and
Coco cola men would invent a
drink "just as good", why the
sales would be bd immense they
could retire in five years with
millions:
The Chinese sacred cvmbling
is cultivated here on a large scale
by Hop Lee. Wuh Sang & Co.
Thev are of immense size, very
costly and sell on the Chinese
market for $15 per barrel, They
are quite fiilling, about six to the
barrel, and nobody can raise
them 'ceptin he is a Chink.
The Storm of Jlugast I4tfi.
The storm that passed over va
rious portions of Northampton
on Monday, August 14th, did
more damage than was at first
reported. From one to two miles
Northeast of Rich Square it
struck the woods in full force
and leveled to the ground a large
number of trees on the lands of
W. E. and N. J. Brown, Archer
Conner, W. E. Spivey and others
and did much damage to crops.
At a point West of Rich Square
it was also very severe. In the
vicinity of Gumberry and Garys
burg it was accompanied by
much hail and crops on some
farms were almost destroyed. The
hailstorm began at the county
road leading from Gumberry to
Garysburg near Elam church axd
passed by the farms of W. T.
Stephenson, Charles Walden,
Berry Walden, C.L. Stephenson,
B. L. Sykcs and J. E. Capel. It
seemed to hold up a little then
until it reached Mr. Luke Harris
(the E. L. Summerel farm) C.
H. Pate, and T. W. Mason. In
some of the cotton fields it is re
ported not to have left a leaf on
the stalks. Mr. C. L. Stephen
son's perhaps suffered the worst
Gardens were destroyed as well
as the fruit in its path. Hall
was still on the ground at some
places the next day at 10 o'clock.
