But for the majority of people this is impossible. amn jT cares auu business obliga tions hold them fast. "Weak" lungs are made strong by the use of Dr. Tierce's Golden Medical Discov ery. It cures the obstinate cough, heals the in flamed tissues, stops the hem orrhage, and re stores the lost flesh to the ema ciated body. "I am a railroad agent," writes I. U. Staples, Esq., of Barclay, Osage Co., Kaiis., "ana lour vears ago my work keeping me in a warm room and stepping out fre auentlv into the cold air gave me bronchitis, which became chronic and deep seated. Doctors failed to reach my case and advised me to try a higher air, but, fortunately for me, a friend also advised me to try Dr. Pierce's medicines. I commenced taking your ' Golden Medical Discovery,' and by the time I had taken the first bottle I was bet ter, and after taking about four bottles my cough was entirely gone. I ha found no ne cessity for seeking another climate."

By Our Correspondents Our Supcniincndcnt of fiealtl). In my judgment there, is not a more capable or efficient health offi cer in any county of the State than we have in the county of Granville. The present incumbent has filled the oliiee, so far as 1 know, to the entire satisfaction of every citizen In the county. In the event of contagious diseases to be suppressed, such as we have had for the past four winters, our Superintendent not only takes aggressive steps against the disease ;lt its first appearance, but his tem- perament is such that he takes spe cial delight in enforcing every means at the disposal of his profession for the extermination of such disease. Dr. Booth goes even further, if nec essary, In order to do his full duty as health otlieer, he does it to the exclu sion of his other practice, and this is, as every one must know, very disas trous to private practice. Aside from the fact tnat Dr. Booth justly deserves to be retained for the ensueing two years, beginning May next, I would consider it extremely unwise for the County Board of Health to fail to select him his own successor at the May meeting. SAM'I, II. CANNADY. Cfteorv vs. Practice. When men feel that every child has a right to be educated, and when every child's right becomes every man's duty, when education comes to be the first and cnosen concern of a people, then the doors of public welfare is thrown wide open. Pub lic Ledger, Feb. 12. If the sentiments of the above ef fulgent paragraph were put Into practice, children almost under the shadow of the public school of Ox ford would not be denied the privi lege of attending the only school it is at all practicable for them to at tend. But, "this is a graded school." Yes, the children are "graded" for convenience in teaching, and that's all. It is a I'um.ic school, supple mented by a town subscription, just as other public schools of the county are supplemented by private sub scriptions. It is certainly the spirit, If not the letter, of the public school law of the State, that every child shall have the privilege of attending the public school most convenient to them. What school can the children resid ing near the cotton mills, and per haps other suburban sections, at tend, if not the school in Oxford? As matters now stand, these little tots must pay to attend the Oxford school, (too poor for that, many of them) walk three to five miles thro' rain and mud to reach some "coun try" school, or stay at home. They are doing the latter. Would It not be right for the man agers of the Oxford "graded school" to admit all children adjacent to the town four months In the year, or re turn a sutlicient amount of the funds they have received from the County Board of Education to establish a separate school which these children may attend?

One of Wiltons most excellent merchants, Mr. J. E.

I think our Superintendent, Prof. Howard, has Ignored the schools of this community, but perhaps he thought they were progressing so nicely they did not need his asslst- ; ance. As we have some very small 1 men In this section he would not have been a curiosity. We learn there are several cases of smallpox in Creed moor, and the vil lage was so much alarmed that Mr. Willie Garner closed his shop and he - - and family have gone to visit their people near Eouisburg until tho scare Is over.

Mr. John Newton and Mrs. Robardu, at the old Henderson Tilley place, both have pneumonia, but we are pleased to say they are thought to be some better. Dr. Boyle is the family physician for all in this neighborhood. He Is a great doctor. He Is great in physi cal proportions, weighing over two hundred pounds. Two horses are needed to carry him over the present muddy roads. He is great in medi cal skill; he is great In successful treatment of disease; he is? great in popularity with the people. An effort Is being made to take off a part of Granville, adjoining Dur ham county, and add it to Durham The reasons assigned for this are: First, because Durham county's schools run nearly twice as long as they do In Granville; second, because Durham county has so much better roads. People can go to court, mar ket, etc., so much easier. Not be cause it Is nearer, but because the roads are better. Because of better roads, thousands of dollars' worth of trade is now going to Durham that used to go to Oxford. If Granr vllle does not get better roads she will be left behind in the march of progress. .

Gentlemen : In September, 1899, I toot rheumatism In a very bad form. In a month alter the disease started I had to give up my work and go to bed. It continued to grow worse until my arms and hands were badly drawn, so much so that I could not use them. My legs were drawn back until my feet touched my hips. I was as helpless as a baby for nearly twelve months. The muscles of my arms and legs were hard and shriveled up. I suffered death many times over. Was treated by six different physicians in McColl, Dillon and Marion, but none of them could do me auy good, until Dr. J. P. Ewing, of Dillon, came to see me. He told me to try your " Rheumacide." He got me one bottle of the medicine and I began to take it and before the first bottle was uaed up I began to get better. I used five and a half bottles and was completely cured. That was two years ago, and my health has been excellent ever since. Have had no symptoms of rheumatism. I regard "Rheumacide" as by far the best remedy for rheumatism on the market. I cannot say too much for it. I have recommended it to others since and it has cured them. Will say further, that I began to walk in about six days after I began to take " Rheumacide," with the aid of crutches ; in about three months after I began to take it, I could walk as good as anybody, and went back to work again.
