Letter to D. H. Currin, Oxford, N. C. Dear Sir: Milk, so much a quart part water. Is it milk? How much satisfaction will it give? How much nourishment? How many customers win? Mixed paint is the same as watered milk. It seems to be cheap, but it isn't. Devoe lead and zinc is milk, It's creamy milk; seems to be costly, but Isn't. Covers more square feet to the gallon; covers it better; makes labor go f uther than any mixed paint; lasts more years than lead and oil. The cheapest paint in the world, made by the oldest concern in America 149 years old. Mr. J. J. Hall, Sheffield, Pa., writes: I had always used 40 gallons of lead and oil for my house; this sum mer I bought 40 gallons of Devoe Lead and Zinc for the same house and had 10 gallons left. Yours truly, -F. W. Devoe & Co., New York. P. S. J. F. Edwardg sells our paint; COUNTY COMMISSIONERS. Smallpox Cost the County About $2,000 Jurors for Next Term of Court. The Board of County Commission ers met on Monday and continued until Tuesday owing to the large amount of business brought before them. All the members were present.

Under the dispensary law as passed by the Legislature, Oxford will en gage in the dispensary business strictly for the money that is in it, and we have nothing to say as to who shall or shall not be appointed manager of the same. Messrs. H. M, Shaw, J. D. Bullock and I. N. Day, the commission named, are men who have shown that they are capable of successfully conducting any business they may undertake, and we feel con fident that they can and will conduct the dispensary in the same good manner. But in view of the fact that there are many men seeking the place o manager, it may be well to take into consideration two important things First, the manager should be sober and honest. Almost any one could and perhaps would come up to this requirement. Second, he should be a man who understands btjyino the "liquid fire." All successful merchants know that "a thing well-bought is a thing well-sold." We are convinced that the only so lution to the liquor question is the dispensary; then let's try to get some money out of it to swell the receipts of our town. We need it. We urge the commission not to hamper the dispensary in the start by injudicious appointments. Can't be beat, our line of new and up-to-date stationery at Hall's drug store. Public Schools of the County. Prof. Jack Howard, who has so successfully managed the public schools of the county, is resting on his laurels as most of the schools have finished up their work. We are pleased to learn the teachers have done faithful work and the average attendance of the children has been better than usual. Wewant to see the day cpme when every parent in a school district will consider it a bounden duty as well as a pleasure to see that their children attend school. Another Important thing is for com mitteemen not to shirk the duties im posed upon them, but to look closely after their respective schools and see that the children attend and that the teachers do their duty, thereby greatly aiding the superintendent In his work. .

The following joint resolution to provide for the payment of the sec one .$100,000 appropriated by Chap ter 543, Laws of 1901, for the purpose of bringing up to the constitutional requirement of four months, the term In each school district In the State, was introduced by Judge Graham In the House Monday. Whereas, by the Public Laws of 1901, Chapter 543, there was appro priated out of the State Treasury the sum of $100,090 for the benefit of the public schools, to be divided per capita as to school population, And, whereas, by section 3 of said Act, an additionl sum of $100,000, or so much thereof as may be necessary, was appropriated annually out of the State Treasury for the purpose of bringing up to the constitutional requirement of four months, the term in each school district in the State, And, whereas, owing to the unex pected deficit in the State Treasury, caused by the Revenue Act of 1901 to raise sufficient money to meet all the appropriations made by the General Assembly of 1901, including the said amount of $100,000, there is now no money out of which the said last $100,000 can be paid, And, whereas, there is In said Trea- ury $143,250 in North Carolina (4) four per cent, bonds and $2,000 in North Carolina (6) six per cent, bonds and $52,000 in cash, known as the State Library Fund, derived from the sale of swamp lands in the East ern part of the State upon which the State pays interest annually to the general school fund. And, whereas, It is necessary that Immediate provision should be made to meet the payment of the $100,000, appropriated by the Law of 1901, to bring up the constitutional require ment of four months, the term In each school district in the State, Now, therefore, be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring: That the Treasurer of the State be and he is hereby authorized and di rected to use po much of the North Carolina four per cent, bonda now in the State Treasury to the credit o the State Library Fund as may be necessary to pay off the one hundred thousand dollars, or as much thereof as may be necessary, appropriated under section 3, chapter 543, of the Laws of 1901 to bring up the term of each school district in the State to the constitutional requirement of four months, That the said Treasurer be directed to replace said one hundred thou sand dollars, or so much thereof as may have been used for the purpose aforesaid, with the negotiable prom lssory note of the State signed by the Governor and Treasurer of the State payable to the State Board of Edu cation on or before two years from the date of the ratification of this Act, with interest thereon at four per cent payable semi-annually until the principal shall have been paid. That the said Treasurer of the State be and he is hereby authorized and directed to apply from time to time any funds in the Treasury, not othewise applied, to the payment of said negotiable promissory note.
