Annual Fepoit -Seed of Books A Tenth
tirade Seeded Cigarette Hmoklug-
Ilalilt -Enrollment.
The annual report of the pub
lie schools of Concord for the
year ending June, 1900 is before
us and we notice several very
commendable things to which the
superintendent calls the atten
Hon of the people. K irst it is
the need of books. A collection
of good books should be placed
in each room books suited to
the pupils of that room. Some
of the teachers supply these
book to their grade, which is
very commendable, but such
books should be found in every
grade up to tho eighth and
ninth. The "reading habit" is
one of the best parts of an edu
cation and each teacher should
encourage her pupils to read as
many books as possible during
tho term.
At a small expense another
grade could be added and an
other teacher employed, thus,
extending the course and enabling
pupils to be prepared for the
freshman year of any of the
colleges of the State. This is a
point that should appeal to all,
as it would save money and be a
blessing to all. In years to come
children will standtnore in need
of education than in need of
mere money. Money spent for
education goes from one pocket
only to bring still more money
into the ather. Good schools,
good churches, good streets.good
public buildings, these are wealth
in themselves, and they raise the
value of all other property be
j'des contributing to charactei
and good citizenship.
The report has the following
to say in regard to cigarette
smoking:
"Boys who smoke cigarettes
invariably do poor work at a
school, thiof Willis Moore of
the "Weather Buraeu, Washing
.on, D. C, says, 'I had rather
have in tho service a man who
Jrinks a quart of whiskey a day
than to have a confirmed
jigarette smoker.' Cigarettsare
worse for boys than they are for
men. Dr. Clinton says: 'A good
deal has been said about the evil
of cigarette smoking, but one
half the truth has not been told.
have watched this thing for a
'ong time, and I say calmly and
leliberately that I believe
cigarette smoking is as bad a
habit as opium smoking. I am
talking of boys remember. The
effect upon grown men is, of
CDurso, not so marked. It sends
boys into consumption; it gives
them enlargement of the heart,
and it sends them to the insane
asylum. I am physician to sev
oral boys' schools, and I am of
ten called in to proscribe palpita
tion of the heart. In nine cases
out of ten it is caused by the ci
garette habit. Every physician
knows tho cigarette heart. I
have seen bright boys turned
into dunces.and straightforward,
honest boys made into miserable
cowards by cigarette smoking. I
am not axaggeraliug. I am
speaking the truth that every
physician and nearly every
teacher knows.' "
Attention is called to the fol
lowing rule.
After the third week of each
term. Children cannot bo ad
mitted to the first grade without
special permission from the su
perintendent. All tuition must
be paid in advance."
Enrollment for tho year is as
follows: Boys, 342; girls, 329;
total, C71.
Enrollment a year ago. Boys,
310; girls, 324; total, 641.

it took the chimney from the

at Mr. Jacob Barger's it did dam
age to barn and other out-build

year-old son, was in the orchard.
After the storm he was found un
conscious, having been struck on
the head by a falling limb. He
was carried to the houso when it
was found the wound was not
serious. Tne patn oi tne storm
was about a mile wide, sweeping
almost everything in its path.

Henry Kirk Dies ef Hydrophobia.
We notice in the Stanly Enter
prise tho death of Honry Kirk
on July 4tb of hydrophobia.
On May 28th the two sons of
of Mr. R II Kirk, Ernest and
Henry, wore bitten by a dog. It
was not thought at that time the
dog was rabid but the head was
expressed to Baltimore for ex
amination. Before the head
could have reached its destina
tion a telegram was received
saying:
"Head received, send children
at once for examination."
This confused Mr. Kirk. The
physicians did not regard the
bite as serious, and no one
thought of the terrible fate of
the little Honry. Last Saturday
Henry complained of a severe
sore throat. From the first he
refused water or nourshment of
any kind. On Sunday the disease
continued to develop but hope
was not given up until Tuesday
morning when spasms became
frequent. On Wednesday morn
ing, after an awful night, the end
was seen to be near. The disease
had made him frantic and the
suffering had become intense,
He died on July 4th between 3
and 4 o'clock.
Ernest, his brother, who was
also bitten at the same time was
taken to Baltimore to take the
Pasteur treatment.

Faith, July 5. A large con

Faith the 4th of July at the old
soldiers' reunion. The old sol
diers rode white horses and the
Faith brass band drove four
white horses. Tho long string
marched up and down the road
for a mile or so. There was
speaking in the grove after
which dinner was announced by
the ladies, who had filled a table
72 feet long with the many good
things that this country affords.
There was plenty for everybody
present and plenty left.
J T Wyatt's collection of curi
osities was one of the attractions
at Faith on the 4th.
Dozens of young men with
their sweethearts visited the mu
seum all at one time and listened
to the music box, and looked
over the ancient and modern
curiosities. The register in the
museum shows that people come
from many parts of the country.

HOW TO REACH EIUHTY.
Sevan Valuable Faescrlptions for Lon
gevity and Life Worth the Living
Culled From an Article In the En
deavor World.
The chief conditions that are
involuntary of long life are:
1. Constant occupation in an
honorable calling.
2. Regular hours.
3. Bodily exercises.
4. Plenty of sleep.
5. A temperate gratification
of all, the natural appetites.
6. A sunny disposition.
7. A clear conscience.
The deadliest foes to long life
are excitement hurry and worry.
Every man is born with a
certain stock of vitality which
may be husbanded or squand
ered as he deems best.
He who lives extensively who
avoids all unhealthy stimulants,
has no exhausting passions,
abstains from worry and keeps
"his accoumts square with God
and man," is sure, with an
average constitution, to spin out
his life barring accidents, to a
long limit.
He who lives intensfcljfeods
on highly seasoned food, sub
jects body or brain to excessive
labor, keeps late hours frets and
fumes at every trouble, burns
the candje of life at both ends.
It is not too much work done,
but too much work in too short
a time, that causes the break
down of today.
It is the pace that kills. It
should "be deeply impressed on
the mind that all such acts as
running up stairs or to catch an
electric car or a ferry boat are
extremenly injurious to every
age, sex or condition in life.
Worry is far deadlier in effects
on heaitn tnan excessive laDor.
Worry springs generally from
nervous exhaustion. The nest
antidote for this is abundance of
sleep. Talk is 'another secret of
long life. Another and last is
to have a hobby. Dr. Roose
says: "It is a good possession
keeping the mind active when
the muscles have lost their
power." M E McCartney.
