Reynolds Fully Explains School Attendance Law SugjesU That Farm Community School Start , Earlier in Dayv Parents do not V Have the Right to Keep a - Child From 8-14 From School. There seems to be some con : fusion in the minds of a few peo ple on certain points of the com pulsory school law. It is entirely a wrong construc tion of , the compulsory school law to say that any parent or guardian has the authority to excuse a child, from 8 td 14 years of age, from attending school during the time the school, in which the child resides, is in session. -Jn a few cases, .princi pals and teachers, if they are in charge of a school, may excuse in their respective schools, tem l porary absences of children be tween the ages of 3 and 14, on account of sickness, or "'her unavoidable causes; bu'. m no case do principals and teachers have any right to excuse the ab sences of such children for the purpose of doing any kind of work. If it is absolutely neces sary for parents to have their children help gather the crops, they must take the matter up with the Supt. of Public Welfare. In communities where the de mand of the farm are very urg ent, it might be a good plan to open school about 8 o'clock and close about 2. This plan would give the children more time to help gather the crops. ;. No child will be allowed ,to attend, a private school, unless such School has a term equal to that of the public school in which the child resides:" Private schools enrolling pupils between the ages of 8 and 14 years are requir ed to keep such record of attend ance and to render such reports as are required of the public schools. . L wish to call your special at tention to the Child Labor Law, which forbids the employing of any child under the age fourteen, for any number of hours, without having an employer's certificate from the Supt. of. Public Wel fare. O.G.Reynolds, V. Supt. Public Welfare. There's eood local reading matter in pages 9 to 16. Read 'em. On page 14 is a detailed list of the 78 Congressional medals, in which the 30th leads with U. Steve Quick Pardoned. Steve Quick, sentenced to one year on the roads at the July term of court for shooting at Dr. Gibson's car, was last week re leased from the gang on a pardon from the Governor, 8 Buicks En Route. ' On, Saturday night the follow ing men went from here to Flint, Michigan, to bring back eight Buicks for the Richmond Buick Company; M. L. Tucker, j!W. Covington, Carl Hicks, Joe Coley, James Warner, Jim Allred, Grover Baxley and P. M. Abernethy. They reached Flint Monday after noon; and left there yesterday (Wednesday) with eight Buicks for home. The 1100 miles will likely be covered by Wednesday of next week, v ? WllUAM S. HART , "THE CAPTIVE GOD" - Friday, Sept 19th AT THE OPERA HOUSE Admission 10 and 15c. Matinee 3:30, Night 7:30 2300 Inoculated Against Typhoid Fever , n Richmond County Free. ; For the past five weeks a rep resentative of the State Board of Health has been in the county giving the vaccine inoculation against typhoid fever. He com pleted the series of treatments last Friday. He covered the county pretty well, but only 2,300 took advan tage of this free inoculation, of which . number barely 50 were colored people. In Stanly coun ty over 4,000 took the inocula tion. Of the 2,300, about 100 failed to come back for the second in oculation, and another 100 failed to return for the third. About a dozen fainted, and one young lady actually fainted when in sight of the building where the inoculation was being adminis tered ; the very idea caused her undoing. The county bore the expense of 121iC per person, and the State furnished free the serum. It is pretty well established that when a person takes all three inoculations, he is made immune against typhoid for three years. One or even two inoculations do no good what ever; all three must be taken. The number inoculated at the various points were: Rockingham 500 Mangum 37 Parsons Store 106 Ellerbe 331 Norman 254 Hoffman , 88 Hamlet, HO Roberdel 290 Hannah Pickett 260 Diggs Store 31 Steele's Mills 250 Superior Court Civil Term. The second September term of Superior court for the trial of civil cases only, will convene next Monday, Sept. 22nd. The following is the jury:. D. F. Warner J. B. Welch E. M. Overton , D. O. Cameron W. L. Crouch B.T.Payne C. S. Howell E. R. Russell . W.T. Tally J.J. Peele Walter McPherson : R. L. Lisk E. E. Mcintosh Geo. S. Steele John McPherson Z. J. Webb J.W.Mercer J. D. Bruton T. W. Thompson W. A. Welch Roger A. Derby J. M. Sedberry W. W. Baldwin W.E.Marks The calendar , of cases is on page seven. More Schools Open. The long-term schools of the County are opening, all with a largely increased enroll ment. Those opening last Mon day, with their attendance, are as follows: Rohanen, 236; Pee Dee, 200; Zion, 66; Norman, 45, Cor dova, 128. Federal Court Postponed. The September term of Federal court due to be held at Laurinburg sept 29th, has been continued until January 13th, 1920. . There are four cases from Richmond County scheduled for Federal court; dis tilling cases against Charles Goodwin. George W. Maness and W. C. WhiUey; and a perjury case against James Bland, colored. Blan'd is the negro who is said to have made affidavit in his draft ques' tionnaire last year that he had two chil dren when as a matter of fact he had none. . Doris Greater Shows. President Diggs, of the Rich mond County Fair, a few days ago received a wire from the Doris Greater Shows confirming their date for the approaching 'Fair Nov 5, 6, 7 and 8. .This will insure a midway far su perior, and larger to any ever seen here. Plans are rapidly for making this Fair the best yet. 506 in White School, 142 in Colored. School Crowded. Extra Teacher to Report for Monday. The enrollment in the city schools has been steadily growing uutil it now numbers 509 in the white school and 142 in the colored school, a total of 648. There are 256 boys and 253 girls in the white school. The High School enrollment is 114, of whom 54 are boys and 60 are girls. .The large proportion of boys is as unusual as it is grati fying. The 11th grade, or graduating class, has 11 boys and 9 girls. There is is considerable con gestion in the, first and second grades which demands immediate relief. Another teacher has been secured to begin work Sept. 22. On account of lack of room this will make a two session program necessary for the second grade as has been the rule for the past two years in the first grade. The school is being rapidly organized along permanent lines and the pupils are settling down to work in earnest. Everything gives promise of being the best year in the history of the school. The compulsory attendance law is being generally obeyed in the white school with only a few exceptions which have been re ported promptly to the Attend ance Officer. There are a good many in the colored school which have been reported as the . law requires and which will receive due attention. Examination for Teachers. The examination for white and colored teachers will be held in Rockingham on October 14th and 15th; for white teach ers at the white school building: for col ored teachers at the colored graded school building. Opportunity will be given at this time for the teachers to take the State examinations for all class es of State Certificates; the reading course examination for the renewal of all class es of State Certificates expiring July 1, 1919; special subjects like School Law; the county examination for County Se cond grade Certificates. Most of the State certmcates in torce, temporary and permanent expire July 1, 1919. Date of expiration is printed on back of each certificate. If teachers have not already provided for the renew al of such certificates by getting reading circle credit on Leiper and Rapeer or by Summer School attendance, then the October examination is the last chance for renewal. Teachers who haven t the above credits should not delay looking into this matter. Quotations from the law as follows: I. Elementary Te acher's Permanent Cer tificates expiring in 1917, which ere issu ed to take the place of county First Grade Certificates expiring m 1917, will oe re newed on the following two books: a.

J. Bell, Supt. No Football Team. Owing to the fact that half the" high school i boys live in the country and would be unable to leave their farm work lone enough to practice in the after noons, the Rockingham school will not get out a football team this year. .

A drawhead was found beside the track and it was believed the wreck was due to this. John Liles and Paul Crowder, two colored boys who lived near by, were arrested and charged with the crime. They were tried in Superior Court in Wadesboro this week and found guilty and sentenced to the roads for two years each, without stripes.

The efforts of the officers of Rockingham to enforce the law requiring autos to keep within the 10-mile limit within the busi ness district, is certainly meeting with success judging by the gait observable upon the part of present traffic. In last week's POST-DISPATCH the names of nearly fifty violators of the speed law were published. The following cases appear on the books of the Mayor: John L. Armstead, exceeding speed limit, fined $5 and costs of $1.95. Eli Green and Joe Maurice, violating speed law; fined $5 and costs of $.95 each. Henry Roberson, Walter Stansill and Bud Brigman, traveling fast er than the 10-rhiie law allows, fined $5 and costs of $1.95 each. Joe Powell and John B. Wall, having but one number on their cars, taxed with cost of $1.95. No fine. A. Mr. McCall, having but one number on car, required to give cash bond of $5 which he forfeits. Clarence Murphy, drunk and disorderly, fined $5 and cost of $2.55. O. C. Cole and Nathan Gibson; speedin; $6.95 each. Alienist Here Today Dr. Jas. K. Hall, one of the proprietors of Westbrook Sanitorium, Richmond, is in Rockingham today, and spent the greater portion of the day at the jail ex amining W. Foster Parsons, who will be tried at a special term Oct. 6th for the death of two colored jitney drivers. He is a noted alienist. The special term will be held Oct. 6th, announcement ot which was made in last week's Post-Dispatch, together with the list of jurors. It is presumed Judge Stacy will preside. Game Law. . Despite the fact that the fox law does not give permission to hunt in Richmond county until October. 1st, and the partridge law until November 25th, it is reported that persons are al ready hunting. Every such vio lator of the law when caught ought to be prosecuted to the limit. The open season is : Fox Oct. 1-March 15. Deer Nov. 1-Nov. 15. Tu-key Nov. 1-Nov. 15. Squirrel Sept. 1-April 1.

Richmond County Savings SAVINGS BANK in the The 18,000-Acre LeakEVerett Tract of Land in Beaver Dam to be Bought by a New Development Company. A deal that may mean big things for Richmond county is about to be perfected whereby the huge Leak-Everett land in Beaver Dam township changes hands. The Richmond County Land & Development Company has just been chartered by the State, with authorized capital pf $400, 000. The incorporation papers places the number of shares at 4,000, par value $100, and the Company can do business when $20,000 is paid in. The incor porators are three Charlotte men: J. R. Clements, H. S. Bry an and J. R. Cherry, the two former having one share each, and Cherry 198 shares. T. T. Cole is the "ground" man for the Company, and a moving spirit in promoting the deal. The Company has secured an option from the Leak-Everett interests on this land, estimated from 16,000 to 18,000 acres, and a force began surveying it this week; as soon as the surveys are completed, the Company expects to close the option. Mr. Cole has rented the vacant store-room in the Hotel building, formerly occupied by McLaurin's drug store, and used more recently by L. G. Fox as a storage-room, and it will be fitted up into a handsome set of offices for the Company. The Company expects to de velop this immense body of land, and the turning loose of so much, acreage, divided into small farms, will doubtless mean much to the county. The land was bought by Capt. W. I. Everett and T. C. Leak about 30 years ago, the first part being the Aycock land; this was gradually added to, at that time the land being very cheap, until now the holdings amount to be tween 16,000 and 18,000 acres.
