There has been much discus
sion of the proposed amendment
providing that the reading of the
Bible in the public schools shall
not be prohibited. We cannot
see why any. one should object ti
the reading of the Bible in the
school room.* The fact is an\
man who is afraid to have th*
Bible read to his children must
need to read it himself. It woult.
probably not be wise to attempt
to teach the Bible in the public
schools, but what harm could
possibly come to our children in
hearing it read? What are ou?
schools for, books only? Sureb
not. Children should be taugh;
many things in school beside?
what are found in text books. In
no other book can we find sue!
lessons in obedience, morals,
truthfulness and general up
Tightness as are found in the
Bible. We cannot understand
why a minister of the gospel
who reads and preaches from
the Bible should so seriously ob
ject to the reading of the word
of God to children when they are
so easily influenced for good or
evil, and the lessons then taught
will never be effaced. As thi?
measure has been defeated and
will not be submitted to tht
people of the State with the oth
er constitutional amendments, it
leaves the matter optional with
the teachers of the different
schools.
Representative Linville Bum
garnrr of Wilkes, introduced
bill in the Legislative which th
New-5 and Observer designate;
the«"Sneak" bill. This bill pur
ported to repeal a local law af
fecting Wilkes county only. It
passed the House, but when r
reached the Senate an investi
gation was made to ascertali
what effect its passage woul
have, and it was found that if
would transfer Wilkes county
from the seventh to the eight!)
congressional district. This
transfer would have probably re
sulted in the election of a re
publican to succeed Congress
man R, L. Doughton in 1914, as
the Republican majority in
Wilkes county is large, and the
Democratic majority in the eighth
district is small. This was a
bright scheme on the part of the
Republican party, and but foi
the watchfulness of the Demo
cratic Senate would have passed
to a successful issue.
This matter was turned ove?
to a committee which severelj
reprimanded Mr. Bumgarner foi
imposing upon the confidence tht
House places in its members ii
local matters.
Mecklenburg Wants Creamery.
Charlotte and Mecklenburg peo
pie are taking the right step in
the agitation that has been start
ed for a co-operative creamery.
It strikes us that the enterprise
ought to become a potent factor
in this community noton'yfor
the producers but the consumers
as well. What has been done at
the Hickory Creamery ot which
Mr. W. J. Shuford is the presid
ing genius, is well known the
State over and certainly the
natural environments here would
indicate that such an industry
would become instantly profit
able.—Charlotte Chronicle.
Antis Strong in Japan.
Woman suffrage has gained no
apparent headway in Japan, says
Mrs. Wesley L. Jones, wife of
the senior Senator from Wash
ington, who has returned after
spending seven months as a guest
of Consul-General Thomas Sam
mons, of Yokohoma, Mr. Sam
mons was formerly a resident of
Tacoma.
"I did not see a Japanese wom
an in European dress while I was
there, and I visited practically
all of the large cities," said Mrs.
Jones. "The women approach
the suffragists' ideal, in that all
of them work, hdWever."

Now is the most important time to look
after the eyes. This applies especially to
students and children in school. Many eyes
are injured permanently from being neglected
These troubles can be avoided if taken in
time. Don't neglect your eyes or your
children's eyes. Have them examined at
once if they show any signs of trouble/

YOU CANT EAT
APPETITE POOR
Multitudes of people lose their
appeUte. Simply don't care for any
thing: to eat. The dinner beU has no
interest to them. They loathe their
breakfast They may nibble a UtUe
of this and a little cZ that, but they
do not care for it.
Lunch has lost all of its charms,
although they try to eat something,
Dinner about the same.
There is something positively
wrong, of course, but no diseas* that
Pfln bo named. Just out of sorts.
That is all. ©
It Is in this kind of a condition
that Feruna acts very beneficially.
After using Peruna, interest in food
is revived. Beginning with a tea
spoonftil of Peruna before each meal
will generally quickly improve the
appetite and help the digestion.
Thousands of people can testify to
this. Liberated from a slavery that is
almost unbearable. The slavery of
having no interest in life. All used
up. Yet one does not know exactly
•why. Take Peruna before each meal.
Skies will get blue again. Fields will
look green ones more and life will
be pleasant You will feel that you
are good for something and the world
is a good place to live In. Peruna
will do It Not as an artificial stim
ulant Simply a tonic that stimulates
appetite in a natural way. •
