Whatever demand they wish to make for better and higher edur cation for their boys and girls, will be heard if they insist that their children are worthy of the best to be had. The County Board of Education will on the first Monday in July select a new Superintendent of the McDowell County Schools This selection means more at this time to the welfare of the children of McDowell county than anything that has been done in a long time, and I am hopeful that the Board or Jfraucation will use tneir every effort to find a man who knows the school work, and who has had ex perience in the school room to the extent that he can appreciate and sympathize with every child, every teacher, every father, every moth er, and every tax payer in Mc Dowell county. McDowell county deserves the best, and must have the best. The Board of Education will no doubt look first to those teachers who have taught in Mc Dowell county, and have made good from every angle and who are competent. Many of these I could name in person, but the school law is so clear in defining the duty of the County Board of Education in selecting a superin tendent that I am persuaded the McDowell County Board will be guided by nothing in making this selection save the interest of the boys and girls that must get much of their training in their native county. I love every hill and valley in McDowell County, and shall watch for her development not only be cause it is my native county, but because of my associations here. I appreciate every thing that the County has done for me, and shall be ready at any and all times wher ever I may be to help promote the interest of any school, or to do anything that will be for the con tinued development and progress or my native county.

Most of the fanners are Attention, Farmers. Some years ago the Commissioner of Agriculture drew a bill, which was unanimously passed by the Legislature, to reduce the cost of egumo inoculating material from the exorbitant price of two dollars an acre to a price at which he felt the average farmer could afford to use it. The effect of this bill was to reduce the price of this material not only to the farmers of North Carolina, but to those of the entire South as well, and a number of the other southern states have since followed the lead of North Carolina in reducing the price of this mate rial to their farmers also. At first the Commissioner placed a cost price of fifty cents an acre on the material with the determina tion to reduce the prico lower and lower as the demand increased. During 1914 the Department dis tributed nearly 8,000 acre bottles from August to December, thus effecting a direct saving to the farmers.of the State of over $10. 000 in less than four months. Dur ing the past six months the dis tribution has reached around 1,200 acres and the season has hardly opened. The Commissioner feels, therefore, that the time has come to make another cut in the price. and ho now plans to reduce tho cost prico of tho material from fifty cents an aero to forty cents an acre. beginning July 1, 1915.

Thre? times within three years lightning has struck the Fruitland Baptist church, at Fruitland, Bun combe county. The last bolt struck the church last week and the build ing was badly damaged. Asheville is investigating the so cial evil and a vice commission has found that 225 women in that city are prostitutes and.it is doubtful if the census is complete. What to do with the women is a problem. One suggestion is that the city and county jointly build a house of refuge. The C. C. & O.
