Sadness possessed the' hearts of trie people of Marion and McDowell county last iFriday when the news went forth that Mrs. Carter had died. The end had been expected for several days, but no amount of expectation could prepare the hearts of her loved ones and : numerous friends for an announcement of her departure. While there was life there was the enthusiasm of love and friendship. When death kissed down her eye-lids still there was a deep consciousness of loss. Her death was characteristic of the life she - lived--peaceful,, calm, serene. There was no moaning of the bar when she put out to sea. Mrs. Carter was born in Mc Dowell county, April 8th, 1835,-being more than 85 years old at the time of her death She was born in the North Cove section of the coun ty and there spentr her girlhood days. Surrounded by clear streams, and sweet air, perfumed by the wild flowers, she acquired that intellect ual stigma that always marked her from her girlhood to her death. Mrs. Carter was the widow of the late Thomas D. Carter who was an eminent lawyer and editor, and who died several years ago. ' Mrs. Garter is survived - by three daughters: Mrs D. E.,Hudgins, oft Marion; Mrs. Swindell, of Memphis, Tenn.; Miss Cora Carter, of Florida; two sons: Judge Frank Carter,5 ana iBascdmbe. Carter, of Asheville. There aVe also a number of grand children and great-grand : children. Her friends were numeroiis. To know hermeant to love her.

COUNTY SCHO OLS MAIC- : - ING GOOD REPORTS MucH Interest T a ken by Teacher State SupeHn ; tendent Rules on Question of Salariea With few exceptions the schools . of the county, which - open daring the summer, are now in operation. Owing to the shortage of teachers, a smsll number of schools that us ually begin in the summer hare not opened. A number of teachers hare been secured f rom other count! ei and an effort is being innde to open all the summer schools. Satisfactory reports of the school in operation are coming to the See , of the County Superintendent. The enrollment has been very good and indications are that the attendance will be the best that the schools hare ever had. Much interest is beisg taken by the teachers In getting all . the chil4en in hchool on the open ing week that they may get their work organized and outlined as soon as school opens. This is 'necessary in order to save time on the part cf both pupils and teachers. ; While there is little doubt of . a substantial Increase in teachers salaries, yet the matter is somewhat indefinite. A salary- schedule fc s veen mapped out by the state - and countj'- school authorities, -wiuthv they hope to hare put in sforce by -the special sesdon of , the lcgi!ttcra v'iucn meets in August, Owing -to . the fact thata number of teachers will expect to draw their galarita at the end of the first month, Supt, N, F. Steppe has taken the matter up with the State department and has been "advised by Dr.' K. f C Bracks State Superintendent; that it will ba feet last year untir, after th leji- lature has --passed upon the nrattcr This willlenabl e -X each era ' to . drzw salaries. aumdenttorl. rtny ' Hexpecse? - and-whatever difference ls due them will, be paid aasoon as 'J ,tSe .-salary.-schedule.: is .definitely settled. : : For the information '""of teachers and others, the -following letter from Dr- Brooks is published: - My xlear Mr, Steppe: In, reply to your letter I think it would be 'safer: f or. you to '-pay; the -' salaries- in f orce4 last year until af : ter the4 General- Assembly, meets. You can then pay.' any differerce that remains to the teachers as soon as we know definitely what to expect. feel confident that the new salary schedule will be put into force, but you will have no " complications ' if you follow the. suggestions, abore. Teachers holding high" school grammar grade ana primary cerun cates will be. paid the "same salary from the State. By referring to the salary schedule you will observe that . we make t difference prorided the . qualifications are the same. How ever, if you pay on the basis of last -year It will be necessary for yon to pay in accordance with the; kind of work done. If a teacher holdj a high school teacher's certificate and does, grammar grade work she will be paid .on the basis of a grammar grado Z certificate. But . a teacher holding a grammar grade certificate and doing kigh school work will be paid on the basis of - the grammar -, grade certificate.' ; Very sincerely yours, c " . -- E. C.
