(a) Amends section 411G so as to make the county instead of the township the unit of appor tioning the school funds, and revises the wording of this section accord ingly. (e) Amends section 4145 so as to require the County Board of Educa tion to appoint school committeemen as follows: one for a term of three years, on for a term of two years, and ond for a term of one year, and their successors each for a term of three years. This plan makes the term of only one member expire each year, thii3 leaving two experi enced members holding over each year. (f) Amends section 4161 so as to require all applications for positions to teach in the county to be filed with the County Superintendent of Bublic Instruction, and it further requires the County Board of Edu cation to fix a day in each township for the election of teachers, at which time the committeemen of the vari ous districts are to meet with the Superintendent and elect teachers for all the schools of the township. It also provides that no election of any teacher shall be deemed valid until approved by the County Super intendent. (h) Amends section 4108 so as to require Justices of Peace to report to the County Board of Education the fines, forfeitures, and penalties imposed in their courts. State De partment of Education to furnish blanks for this purpose to all officers who are required to report fine?, forfeitures, a:.;d penalties. (1) Amends section 416-1, requir ing teachers to report the number of pupils completing the elementary grades. (m) Amends section 4163 so as to provide that no assistant teacher shall be employed in any one-teacher school until the average daily at tendance reaches forty, and it fur ther provides that such assistant teacner may be dismissed when the average daily attendance for four consecutive weeks drops below forty. The new law requires an equal term for each race. The new law forbids the County Superintendent to approve a salary voucher until he has in his posession a copy of the contract signed by teacher and committeemen. The County Board of Education has fixed October 27th as the date f or'opening the Rural Schools. Don't overlook this date. There will be no Summer Schools for either race. The new law makes the term contin uous. The Compulsory Attendance Law requires all children between the ages of 8 and 12 to attend school four months each term. An atten dance Officer has been appointed for each township. Very respectfully, A, S. Harrison, County Superintendent. Keep Your Bead. There is a tendency among the Southern cotton farmers to sell their crops at a certain price for f all'deliv ery. This is harmful in several ways. Often the farmer loses in the sales and many have been known, to break their contracts and so get law suits with the speculators. It is a wrong movement, and has worked harm in many instances. The usual price offered by the speculator i3 ten cents but suppose cotton goes higher and no doubt it will, the producer will lose, and he cannot afford it eith er. To these men who desire to make where the farmer loses there should be a firm refusal given. It is unsafe, to say the least and that farmer is happiest who makes and sells his own crop at the highest market value. He has opportunity to study the market and the trend of things as paper are numerous and he can secure other information. Sell your own crop. Williamston Enterprise.

It is plain that the macadam road is a thing of the past. That is to say no more will be built. It makes an elegant road when new but when it begins to wear down no successful way to repair it has been found. On the other hand we are learning how to build sand clay roads and they cost a great deal less, while re pairs can be made for a small sum after which the road is as good as new. The point in building sand clay roads is first to get the right kind of material; the nxt step is to build them wide enough and with good drains and if these are kept open so that the water is carried off all the time the work will last along time. A stretch in this country from Guilford Station to the Forsyth county line just beyond Colfax has been in use nearly two years and it is now in the pink of condition. It was constructed of the right mate rial rightly mixed and the drains have been kept open. Two menfaji cover many miles a day at this Work. A traction gasoline engine draw a scraper attended by one man. We are not sure but probably the service of these two and the machine are not required over one day in the month but what they do is the salvation of the road, for allow the side ditches to choke up and the water overflow the road and it is done for at once It is washed away in a short time. Greensboro Record. How to Care tbe Pea Hay. In locating the house, don't put it too close to main road. Have it at least 100 feet away. When you get it too close dust comes into house and you sacrifice the privacy of the home to a certain extent. Houses too close to the road do not look well and are not as valuable. Notice this next time" you drive to town. Provide a windbreak and lots of trees for shade. Have the main highway in view from certain windows in the ! house Prof . Scoates, in The Pro gressive Farmer. - Begin mowing when the peas turn yellow in the pods. Mow in the morning till noon; if possible run a tedder right after the mower to keep the hay tossed up and hasten the wilting. Rake- into windrows that afternoon. Next morning turn the windrows with 'the rake while the mowers'are running on the other parts. That afternoon put this hay into cocks as narrow and tall as will stand well. Then as soon as you can take a handful of the hay and twist it and can wring no sap to the twist; haul the hay to the barn and let it settle with its own weigh with out tramping, and then let it alone and it will cure all right. If it heats some, let it heat. If you go to stir ring it to cool it, you will let in germs of mold from the air and will have moldy hay. Now, I have cured it in this wv many years and never made any moldy hay, but had it come out with the leaves on and green in color, and far better feed than the usual assort ment of sticks that many make by letting the hay lie in the sun to bleach and the leaves to get dry and crisp. In fact I have found curing peavine hay as easy as any other hay if you simply let it cure and do not "monkey" with all sorts of scaffolds and contrivances that merely dry the hay and lose the leaves the best part of the hay.

It is no profit to us to know that malaria is only transmittedto man by a certain kind of mosquito if we make no effort to protect ourselves from the attacks of this carrier of disease which work only at night. Screen on tbe doors and windows are of little value while ve are sit ting on an unscreened porch offering ourselves as victims to this carrier of malaria germs. He steal quietly up to his victim in the dark, as many another evil-doer does, and if we are wise .we will screen the porches or not sit on them after dark when mosquioes are present. Better still drain or put oil on their breeding places. The Progressive Farmer.

When you have trouble with your stomach or chronic constipation, don't imagine that your case is be yond help just because your doctor fails to give you relief. Mrs. G, Stengle, Plainfield, N.

I have taken nearly three-fourths of a package of them and can now eat al most everything that I want." For sale by all dealers.
