Hood ltros.. the enterprising drug gists, rather than await thd ordinary methods of Introduction, urged the Dr. Howard Co. to secure a quick sale for their celebrated specific for the cure of constlpallou and dyspep sia by offering the regular 50c bot tle at half-price.

Thia 14th <' Y of January, 1909. E. PARKED, ?Arimr. EDUCATIONAL NOTES. Present Work, High Schools, The Contest and Betterment Work. As my accident cut short the plans of uiy school1 work temporarily, 1 wish to write for the benefit of the teachers and committeemen on mat ters pertaining to our immediate needs. I sorely regret the accident, especially as it happened at this time. I was visiting the schools as rapidly as possible and intended to go to every one. There is 110 other part of the County Superintendent's work so pleasant and encouraging as that of visiting the schools. This work was only completed in part. The large attendance of the chil dren this year, the general interest of the people and the good work be ing done are truly inspiring. In ad dition to seeing the work in the class es and observing the specimens in I spelling, writing, arithmetic, language geography, history, etc., and encour aging the boys and girls to learn these thoroughly, 1 also wanted to urge those sufficiently advanced to attend the High schools when the public schools are closed. Present Work. Along with the general school work two movements of immediate impor tance already on foot are to be de termined. In Pleasant Grove town ship there is a move for at least three school houses and two consoli dations of districts; in Oneals town shin there is a movement for about four new school houses and two con solidations or redisricting. Since these school houses are not only for the present but for future genera tions the districts should be in the right shape and the houses located at the proper places. As I cannot go personally to these places for sometime, yet I hereby call upon the committee in these districts to call the people together and by free and friendly and deliberate con sultation decide upon the steps to be taken and report decisions to the County Hoard of Education on the first Monday in April. Of course there may be some divisions but fair minded people will always submit to the will of the majority. Then again it takes money to build school hous es. Under the law the County Hoard of Education from its reserve build ing fund pays one half of the cost of buildings while the districts pay the other half. Therefore it must be de cided how the districts will raise their half "of the funds?whether by having no schools for a year or two and using the annual apportionment for building or by raising the money by subscription or by voiii.n a .special tax. I learn now that we hardly can hope to borrow any from the State Loan Fund this year. This money problem applhs also to the houses to be built in other places. I know some art! intending to hold special tax elections and this is to remind such that petitions for the same must be presented to the board meeting on the first Monday in April as it will be too late after that time. High Schools. We have in the county three ex cellent public high schools. All teach ers regardless of age and all pupils sufficiently advanced to take the course are entitled to free tuition in these schools. They are located at convenient places in the county and are conducted by able teachers. They form a link in the educational claim between the public schools and the colleges; they are intended to equip the teachers more thoroughly for the public schools. Now that the public schools are ending 1 earnestly urge all who can to attend these high schools. The Contest. Already six boys have agreed to enter the corn contest. I hope there will be many others soon and more county premiums will be offered. I am glad to say to these boys that I have assurance from the Agricultural Department that the farm demonstra tors will give them some Instructions along with those who are conducting test farms in the county. Further more a corn train will perhaps visit this section in the early spring. Coun ty demonstrator, Mr. G. L. Jones, of Smithfield, will be pleased to mail formulas for corn fertilizers and oth er directions as to general treatment. Certainly our people are aware that at this time there is a great awakening in manual training among school children. For instance on the 8th Instant over one thousand school children from the forty one districts in Anson county gathered at Wades boro, the county seat, and exhibited several hundred axe helves that were made in a contest for premiums. This plan was inaugurated by Mr. J. T. Patrick, president of the Southern Savings Bank, of Wadesboro. About fifteen premiums In a classified list amounting to $50 were awarded to the boys and girls for the best spec imens. It was Inspiring and impres sive to see this great army of school boys and girls march through the town. Drs. Dixon, Stevens and others delivered addresses. The contest will that I should have taken this crip pling patiently, as all counted I have lost less than two weeks from work by sickness in the last twenty-five years. Certainly it will be impossible for me to fill my many appointments to speak at the close of schools. My right arm being broken makes it worse. I regret the accident for the young lady but am glad .that she escaped without much injury. It was truly a rough greeting to a stranger as she had not been on my buggy more than a minute before the horse ran away. My being dragged by the buggy reins several feet enabled her to escape without much injury. Many thanks are due Messrs. Clingman Stephen son and Heuben Myatt for kindly bringing ma. home. J. P. CANADAY, County Superintendent. Needed The Year Around. You needn't suffer with sick head ache, Indigestion, constipation, or any other trouble arising from disordered stomach, liver or bowels. Dr. Cald well's Syrup Pepsin will cure you and keep you well. It Is a wond; rful laxative and regulator. It is safe and pleasant to take and should be in every American household. Tens of thous^ids already use it. It is ab solutely guaranteed to do what is claimed and if you want to try it be fore buying, send your address for a free sample bottle to Pepsin Syrup Co., 11!> Caldwell ltldg., Monticello, 111. It is sold by Hood Bros, at 50c and $1 a bottle. t;e continued there; the next to be made by the boys will be a contest to raise the most cattle feed on one fourth of an acre, aud the next ef fort by the grils for the largest pro duction of butter and for the finest specimens of butter molds. Also by encouragment more than a thousand children are moving along the line for manual training. No doubt If wo could stir up enough in terest great things would result In our county in the future. Things can be talked up or talked down. Think what the Daily News and Observer is doing?putting up 110,000 in forty four prizes in order to increase its circulation. Now verily our great re source of wealth is our land. This is our first step in manual training and should have the greatest encour agment. Betterment Work. Let all teachers report amounts re I celved In the way of betterment work to Mrs. Turlington, president of the Betterment Association. Tell what improvements have been made by local efforts, how much money has been raised, how It was raised, and how It was expended. Personal. I thank the many people in the county and town for the numerous calls and kind attentions given me while disabled, especially the ever watchful and sympathetic members of the Junior order. With assistance from Prof. Turlington, Mr. D. T. Lun ceford and my family my office work lias continued to move 011. I will say Jose May be Oldest Man.
