Upon the cool September air From way up on The hill side there Is heard the sound We icnow so well Hark, boys and girls The old school bell. The saucy squirrel In the tree Seems to laugh at You in glee, n Because you have To once again Bid goodbye to The shady lane. Because you have To study boo?s- And cannot fish In running brooks. The Bob White whistles Temptingly, As though he says: "Come play with mo." But you must trudge Away to school To do hard sums And mind a rule. But, boys and girls, I tell you what: I'd rather go To school than not. For some old day You'll just look back While mem'ry scoots The backward track, And you'll be glad And find it pays To do your best These glad school days. Tax Rates (News-Leader) " It is possible to raise tax values and to lower tax rates, doubting Thomases to the contrary notwith standing. Georgia did it last year under her new tax, reform laws. Barring one year only, her state tax rate in 1914 was the lowest in 24 years. Ohio's tax values rose to six billion two hundred million dollars in 1911 under her new tax laws ; and her state tax rate decreased 62 percent or more than three-fifths. Larger tax revenues are sadly needed in North Carolina. . . They can be secured without pun ishing honest taxpayers, if only tax dodgers can be brought to book in" every township and if unfairness can be removed or lessened within and among the counties of the state. Not only can larger tax revenues be secured in this way, but tax rates can be lessened. No honest taxpayer has anything to fear in proper tax reforms. A low tax rate atttracts invest ments, as Georgia and Ohio are discovering. v ' CASE SETTLED . ' Southern Express Company Pays $10,000 There was ' a lenghty conference last week in Raleigh between counsel for the Southern Express Company and Governor Craig, members of the Corporation Commission and State Treasurer B. R. Lacy relative to the status of the noted case of State Treasurer against the Southern Ex press Company involving the $22, 000 that the State authorities claim to be due by the express company in a tax balance for the years 1909-12. It was announced Friday that the State accepts a compromise and the express company pay oer $10,000. . ; A Good Woman Gone On September 18th;, the death an gel visited the home of Mr. R. A. Averette and claimed for its own his dear wife, Rosa. She was a good wife, mother and neighbor, this I know to be true. She gave her heart to God when young and was a faith ful Chrisian and a follower of the Lord. I would say to the dear hus band and children not to think of her as dead, for she is not; she is at rest with her Saviour and is waiting on the other side. to welcome you when your days are done an d you reach the other shore. I would point you to Him, the only one who can give you comfort in this sad hour of bereavement, may God bless and care over each of you until He calls you Home to meet her. E.M,.

And now some cuss remarks that courtship is a preface to hardship. In Memorium The subject of this sketch, Mrs. G. W. Hedgepeth, departed this life on September 13th, age 53 years. She had been sick nearly two years and had been confined to her bed most of the time for about a' year, but had borne her suffering with patience and Christian fortitude and looked to God the great giver of all things for strength to bear her burdens. Though she had b'een sick so long and had two strokes of paralysis and was al most speechless she tried to be cheer ful and tried to call her family to her before she died but only spoke her baby boy's name so it could be un derstood. Yes, children I know it is hard to give mama up, but God knows best; she is not dead but sleepeth and will wait and watch for each one of you on that other shore. The writer of this sketch had not known her very long but had known her long enough to see how patiently and meekly she bore her suffering. Truly a good Christian woman has gone to her re ward, so weep not. She leaves to mourn her death a husband and three sons, four brothers and two sisters. Mrs. Hedgepeth was a mem ber of Trinity Methodist church in Virginia. I would point all who mourn her death to our heavenly Father who makes no mistakes and doeth all things' well. A friend.
