Animals Remember Abuse.
Our Dumb Animate. ;
To tease any animal is unwise,
and even dangerous. - Animals
never f orsret. A writer in Farm
and Fireside shows how the dis
positions of farm animals are
made ugly or gentle according
as they are treated bv the small
boy. He says:
"I know of two little boys and
an old family mare. The old mare
has often been teased by one of
the boys, and when he comes
near she lays back her ears, and
with flashing eyes and snapping
teeth tries to get at him. Some
time when he is off guard per
haps the chance will come, and
who knows what will happen?
The other lad always petted and
played With the old mare and
talked to ner. and she will come
to him and follow him about any
where. He never teased her, and
she shows her gratitude in her
only way. Teasing hones, colts
or other dumb animals shows a
streak of hidden meaness and
should not be permitted. It also
spoils the animal. How much
better to have them act from mo
tives of affection rather than
fear!"

Kelford News.
The rain and wind Storm that
passed over Kelford and vicinity
last Wednesday, played havoc
with cotton and late corn, and in
some instances' the writer is told
it blew up the peanuts where the
vines were large and the soil
light and sandy. The corn that
had not had the fodder pulled
was laid flat on the ground and
where the ears were large manv
were rung from the stalks. Where
the cotton was small the damage
is not Bo mach but where it was
of heavy growth and branched
out well, it is terribly mangled.
Tbe cotton fields look like the cot
ton was sowed broadcast over the
land instead of being in rows.
Your correspondent has inter
viewed right many farmers and
it is the prevailing opinion that
the cotton crop as a whole is
damaged 25 per cent. Where the
growth is very large the necessa
ry .loss that will occur in the
breaking up of the limbs and
knocking off of bolls in picking
will bring the percentage up
considerably.

JACKSON GRADE J SCHOOL.
Best Opening Id History of School
Many Patrons Pledge Co
operation. The most auspicious opening
in the history of the Graded
school at Jackson, was witnessed
Monday by about one hundred
twenty-five patrons and friends
of the school and about 100 pu
pils, under the leadership of tbe
Principal, Prof. J. R. Ware, as
sisted bv as able corps of teach
ers as can be found anywhere.
This bids fair to be the very best
school in the county. In the near
future you will hear and read of
a State High school at Jackson,
with the full four year course to
which a normal course will be
added. It must have been pleas
ing to Prof. Ware and his assist
ants to hear expressions from
many of tbe patrons of the school
pledging their support and co
operation, and it was indeed
pleasing and encouraging to the
patrons of the school to learn
from Prof. Ware, and his able
assistants their plans for the
betterment of the school. Prof.
Ware will be assisted by Mrs.
Ware, Mies Williams of Warren
ton, N. C . Mrs. A. L. Burnett
and Miss Retta Bowen of Jack
son. We are much pleased with
this corps of able, efficient and
earnest teachers and bespeak for
them the most successful session
in the history of tne school.
rror. ware comes to us with a
reputation already established as
one of the best and mot thor
oughly equipped school men. He
has established for himself bv
hie work, such a reputation in
this county, having taught in
the county ten years.
Prof. Ware's assistants are al
bo teachers of reputation and ex
perience, and before they leave
us, we confidently expect to
have at Jackson, the very best
school in tbe county. You will,
hear from it from time to time.
