In regard to the claim of Durham leading the state in public school mat tera, the Raleigh News and Observe! takes the answer out of our mouth and is so.much to the point that we must thank it for its quick perceptio and polite remarks. We are glad to know that Buncombe county is in such fine shape, and her schools will run so long. As compared with Durham county we are ahead on per capita, ahead on the term of the city schools, and the Citizen will note irom our ar ticle that we stated the average terms would be seven to seven and a half months; and while the Buncombe schools will run seven months, that county ha8?not-8uch a great margin to brag on, and that Durham county is still a the head. We tend greetings to Buncombe and are glad to know she ia pushing Durham so close. These two counties set an example for others to follow. DurhamSun. We publish this clipping from the Durham Sun in regardto the schools of Durham and Buncombe counties It is our belief that Guilford county is In a better position to -develop educa tional interest in its borders than any other county in North Carolina. With the Normal and Industrial College, Greensboro Female College, Guilford College, Oak Ridge, Whiteett Insti tute and graded schools in Greensboro and High Point, it does look like Guilford should have the best public school system in the &tate. We ba lieve that the opportunity of having the best county public school system in the state is here. Systematic and determined effort will bring it about. That colored student at -the A. and M. College debate who took theaffirm side on the query "Should the Consti tutional Amendment be adopted," made a more patriot and logical speech than Senator Pritchard did in his con demnation of it. The student ai gued his side with an eye to the future of bis race and the present peaceful rela tions of all the people ; the senator argued it from the standpoint of a par tisan who cares nothing for the future of either race, that does not promise himself position regardless of condi tions which may exist in the state The student is the wiser, statesman of the two. Morning Post. The broad tire movement, which, .ike that for good roads, originated in North Carolina, has reached Chicago, where an agitation for broad tires for trucks and all kinds of vehicles is on hand. The arguments in favor of broad tires for country roads are known of all men in this section. The adoption for broad tires in city traffic is based upon the grounds of economy. It is argued that broad tires will ben efit property owners because pavements they are taxed heavily to construct will not wear out rapidly. Given broad-tires, property owners will be willing to go to the expense of better pavements. They will accept asphalt where they now insist on cedar block or macadam. Then the merchants and others who have traffic teams will find their hauling will not cost them so much. Reviewing the many advan tages of broad tires, the Tribune con cludes that "nothing but perverse, un thinking conservatism has kept the men who will be most benefitted by wide tired from adopting them years ago." The broad tire appears to be a good thing for both city and country. Its general adoplion is only a question of time. Charlotte Observer. Mr Youngpop-" What's that boy crying about?"

An amusing incident occurred at a certain Fay ettt v ile street drug store j eater day. A man from the Indian Territory who had just the day before completed bis sentence ia the penitentiary, was preparing to go home. Dressed io true western style sombrero, pistol belt, l 'gh heeled boots and all he came down the street in company with a peni'.ciitiary official. "Con.e in and have something," said the official as they were about to pass the drug store door. "Don't care 'f I do," replied the exconvict, and in they went. "I believe I'll take a cocoa-cola,' said the official to the clerk, and turn ing to his companion asked: "And what will you take, sir?" "Oh," said the ex-conviot carlessly, "give me corn whiskey. I never drink anything else." The clerk, taking in the situ a' ion, quietly replied that he had none of the beverage ordered in. stock at present, but pointed out a place where it might be obtained.

A startling incideat, of which Mr. John Oliver, of Philadeldhia, was the subject, is narrated by him as follows; I was in a most dreadful condition tion. My skin was almost yellow, eyes sunken, tongue coated, pain continu ally in back and sides; no appetite gradually growing weaker day by day. Three physicians had given me up. Fortunately, a friend advised trying Electric Bitters: and to my great joy and surprise, the first bottle made a decided improvement. I continued their use for three weeks and am now a well man. I know they saved my life, and robbed the grave of another victim." No one snould fail to try them. Only 50 cents per bottle at C E. Holton's drag store. De Tanque "The doctor told Guz zler if he would stop drinking he'd be new man. 'J O'Soaque "What did Guzzler do?" De Tanque "Got a new doctor." A Thousand Tongues Could not express the rapture of Annie E. Springei, of 1125 Howard St., Philadelphi, Pa., when she found that Dr. King's New Discovery for Con sumption had completely cured her of a hacking cough that for many years had made life a burden. All other remedies and doctors could give her no help, but she says of this Royal Cure "it soon removed the pain In my chest and I can now sleep soundly, something I can scarcely remember doing before. I feel like sounding its praises throughout the Universe." So will every one who tries Dr. Kings' New Discovery for any trouble of the Throat, Chest or Lungs. Price 50c. and $1.

"Thank you. sir." re plied the clerk; "it' more than I've ever been able to do. Mine is usually pawned." Oaialng a Wide Reputation. As a cure for rheumatism Chamber lain's Pain Balm is gaining a wide reputation. D. B. Johnston, of Rich mond, Ind., has been troubled with that ailment since 1862. In speaking of it he says: "I never found any thing that would relieve me until I used Chamberlain's Pain Balm. It acts like magic with me. My foot was swollen and pained me very much, but one eood application of Pain Balm relieved me. For sale bv O. E. Hnl- ton, druggist.

In viripnr-A of this trait ion an example cited is that of a man in Baltimore who sends the whole water supply of his bonse throngh a large filter and subse quently puts his drinking water throngh one of the small domestic niters com i&on in the market. A test of this arrangement showed that on a day when the city taps were mnnirnr 510 bacteria to the cubic cen timeter tbe large filter was delivering some 9,900 bacteria in the same water. When the large filter was repacked. only bacteria per centimeter got through it. though this same water when passed throngh the small filter came out with 71 bacteria per centi meter. TViU Mmrt nf tha matter is still fur ther strengthened by another example, a case where a filter supposed to be the best in the market was in use. xne effectiveness-of this filter was so short HvaA that tha nrr n tinn was observed of boiling the water after it was filtered.

"He was asked to speak and of course complied in his usual style. 'You have named this church after a great man.

Some years ago the late shah. Nasr-i-Din. saw 20 skaters twirling and curling and spinning gracefully on the ice. He was amused. He thought it wonderful Tbe next day be sent to the legation and borrowed dozen pairs of the skates. These he made his ministers put on and attempt to skate on the lake in the palace grounds The poor ministers were ter ribly discomfited, but it was twice as much as their heads were worth to re fuse. His majesty was more amused than ever, and he nearly had an apo plectls fit from laughing. Rnaaa Heaters. In considering the problem of heat ing the large department stores which are now to be found in nearly every big city it ia very well worth taking into account the animal beat distributed by the many customers who come into such establishments. That this is con siderable is evidenced by tbe experience of at least one engineer, who. in one such case, found that after 9 :80 a. m. on a day in midwinter, with the ther mometer at the freezing point, no other heat was needed to keep the place warm. This fact, however, emphasizes as well the great need of a good system of ventilation in such buildings, as without it the air would soon become vitiated much beyond any reasonably permissible degree. Caasier'a Maga zine, Ieebaaa Fires. Curiously, an icehouse is the most likely place in the world for a fire. In surance rates are so high on ice sheds as to be almost prohibitive of any policies being taken out Spontaneous combus tion is responsible for the fires in ice sheds, according to some authorities. When a layer of ice is melted around the top and sides in summer, an im mense amount of beat is set tree. When conditions are exactly favorable, spon taneous combustion takes place. Others believe that a zone of warmth and moisture is created by the melting ice and that this attracts lightning. In any case an icehouse is a beautiful place for a fire Ratn.r CIom. The stingiest man I ever knew was a fellow who in going up stairs always skipped a step In order to save his shoe leather. " That's nothing!
