At a special meeting of the County Board of Education, held on Monday the fourth day of December, 1911, the Board re ceived with profound sorrow the announcement of the death of W T. Joyner, and honored' member of this Board, which occurred at his home at Garvsburff on Mon day, November 29th, .where-upon the Chairman and the Secretary of the Board were appointed a committee to draft a memorial to Mr. Joyner, to be reported at the board at the next regular meet ing. January first, -1912. In accordance with this order, the following is submitted: William T. Joyner was born in Ohio eixtv-six years ago. His father. Henry Joyner, had re moved to that state from North' atnpton coanty. North Carolina, and in Mr. Joyner's early child hood, returned to Northampton county. Before he reached his major ity, the tocsin of war was calling to arms the flower of southern manhood'and responding to the call of bis state he enlisted 'Pep ternber first,- 1862, in Company 9th-igiment of North Caro liqa troops, and served through tt war. Like so many of his compatriots, he returned from Appomatox, set about the task of adjusting himself to. the new order and reconstructing, by peaceful pursuits, the state fee had served sa well in war. Ba settled at Bryant's Cross Reads and on December, 16th, 1871, was married to Miss Emma Drew of that place. This'happy union of forty years was blessed with five children, three of them sur vive him. Mc Joyner always took an ac five interest in the political af fairs of his county and he was several times honored by his cointy men by appointment and election to high and responsible positions of trust He served as a member of the Board, of Coun tv Commissioners from 1901 to 1904, when he resigned to ac cept election at the hands of ids party to the General Assembly of 1905. As a member of the Legisla ture of 1905, his Vote and his in fluence was always with the pro irressive and moral forces of his party and the local legislation ef fected by him, stands highly ap Droved by his county men. He procured the passage ' of acts creatine Pleasant Hill Township; abolishing the dispensary at Sea board and also the Jackson Dis pensary. The latter Act, how ever, was modified by the Senate, by submitting the measure to a vote of the town of Jackson Mr. Joyner's connection with this board dates from October 7th 1907, when he was unanimously elected to nil the unexpired term of Mr. M. W. Britton, resigned. His sound judgment and excel lent business ability has ' greatly served the Board during the past four years..- He had on)y recent ly been re appointed J or a 'six year term by the. Legislature of North Carolina and we hoped that his wis4 counsel would con tinue to serve the cause cf edu cation for many .years; but a wise Providence had i ordered other wise and November nth,, he was atrjckeir'vWitha'malady; from which he riiaver rallied, Jintil the end Which cans .peace&Jly nine days' later.'.', :;H The County Board ;of;' Educa tion. desiring to express appre ciation for his faithful and Valua ble services to his Board and to the cause of educatton.do resolve; 1 That our county has lost one hf its most useful and patriotic citizens.- 2 That the sympathy of this; Board be extended to his bereav ed wife and children, who sus tain the loss of a loving father and devoted husband. 3 That this memorial be made a part of the .records of this Board; that a copy be transmit ted to his stricken widow and a copy be sent to the Roanoke Chowan Times for publication. By order of the Board, this January first, 1912. E. B, Lassitee, Chairman. P. J. Long, Secretary, A ilmg Coosomlng Nation. Washington Herald. When a lecturer before the Philadelphia College of Phar macy stated the other day that the United States was the great est drug-consuming country in the world he expressed in a few words a fact which is certainly generally believed. . It is remarkable how many ills apparently afflict the . American peopJe and how prone we are . to seek remedies therefor. In every home the medicine closet is as much a fixture as the kitchen range, and it is used almost as frequently. It is a national char acteristic to read the medical al manac with religious devotion, and to study our symptoms with delight r - ' 'U;'-ri' 'Drugs when prescribed,Jbyji.'a physician are necessary to the preservation of health, but the medicine-taking habit is to be condemned. Its antidote is plenty of fresh air and sunshine, care ful eating and good digestion, sufficient sleep and a cheerful spirit. Nature, after all, is a pretty good doctor. A Timely light The Christian Herald. A French minister tells of an ire'dent during a voyage to d: "One dark evening, I sat in my cabin feeling throughly uu well, as the sea was rising fast and I was a poor sailor. Sudden ly the cry of 'Man overboard!' made me spring to my feet I heard a trampling overhead, but resolved not to go on deck lest I should interfere with the crew ir their efforts to save the pcor man. "What can I do ?"I asked myaeif, and, instantly' unhooking my lamp, 1 held it near the top of my cabin and close to my bull's yj window, that its light might shin on the sea, and aa near the ship rb .possible, in a half ro.n ues time 'I heard the joyful cry, "its all right; he's safe," upon which I put my lamp in its place. The next day, however, I was told that my little lamp was the sole means of ftu zing the man's life. It was only by the tirseiy light which shone upon him that the knotted rope could be thrown so as to reach him." Big Cotloo Crop.

What we want, isjfa .-be able to detect.if possible, tbe. early or the very early stag ejnf the disease as it is then that consumption is most curable. A case of very early consumption may generally be cured after two to three months of rest, fresh air' and suitable feeding, while an ordinary early case will re qtjire perhaps six months. About 80 per cent of the early and verv early cases are readily curable vjith proper treatment. As a case develops, however, the chances of a cure decrease, until the more advanced cases only 25 per cent or less of the cases can be cured It is difficult to discover early consumption. The cases that have fever, night sweats, persis tent coughing and spitting are late cases and are easily detected During the first stages of con sumption . the patient may not notice that he has any very seri ous physical disorder. ' The best indications of con sumption are; ! ; 1 ' The actual finding of the trerms.in the spit or matter cough ed up. This may be done by means of the microscope. But since it is seldom possible to find these germs in the early stages even if the disease does exist, failure to find the germs is not a positive proof that consumption doesWftHexist 2 This positive ' reaction of tuberculin.

MAVUIOM. Americans Lnslog lh Trade uf Man churia Which Is Going to the Japanese. From Consul Lester Maynard, Harbin According to Japanese sources. American cotton cloth, which at the present time is being entire-, ly supplanted by cotton cloth of Japanese manufacture, should'. have an opportunity of reenter- . ing this market, due to the short yield of cotton in India and China ' and rise in quotations as against the large cotton crop in the Unit ed States and the loverin. of prices. The market for cotton cbth in north Manchuria is far too im- portant to American n.anufac-; turers to depend upon such con ditions to regain or hold this ter ritory. It was not due to condi tions of this kind that enabled the Japanese to take the market, nor was it entirely due to lower cost of labor or superior and cheaper transportation facilities. : but primarily to the fact that Japan was one of Manchuria's best customers, and for several years past has been working up the soya-bean trade and faking; the bulk of the crop. In order to buy. soya beans throughout the country a large organization was necessary, and when this , bad been accomplished it was' found to be a simple matter to pay for the beans with cotton goods if not directly, at least through the local Chinese mer chants. Until the United States be comes a customer of Manchuria," ' there will be little opportunity t break the Japanese control . of : the cotton-goods trade; but a long as a high customs duty re mains on soya bears while soya bean oil enters duty free thei will be no inducement for our merchants to come to Manchuria to buy. A Danish firm buying soya beans throughout Manchuria ships the beans to Denmark to be crushed, and it is stated that practically its entire output of oil is shipped to the United States, where it enters duty free. Put Your Money Id a Bank. It is good advice which a CoIIe. ton County, S. C, . exchange gives in urging f armers to start , bank accounts this year, no mat ter how small the amount left over after the year's debts are, paid. We quote: : f ,'If one keeps money in hia pocket, it is likely to go and he will never know how it goes; so though you have only ten dollars in your pocket, go to one of our ., banks and start a bank account. To have money in a bank will givelone a feeling of independ- -ence nothing else can give. Do not think that because you have ' only five or ten dollars to start an aceount the cashier, will ' not want your deposit. " Any cashier will gladly welcome you as a ex positor if you have but one dol- lar." We hope thousands of our readers will follow this excellent cbunsel. Having a bank account (1) encourages the saving habit,' (2) dignifies the farmer by mak ing him more, of , a ''busineEis man," (3) provides-a better sys : tem of paving; out money, th" . specie payments, (4) helps t' community in which' one liv hsjsd (5) makes it easier for t depositor to oorrow in case t rowing instead of ; depc: " sometimes becomes advisal! Put your money in a bar.!. Progressives Farmer, , ' 1 . ' '.'At J
