Delegate NOTICE TO DEMOCRATS OF Democratic voters must remember that they must pay their poll tax by the first of May in order to be able to vote in either the STATE PRIMARY in June or at the GEN ERAL ELECTION in November. This is a very important matter s-inre 't Is presidential election year and both the National and State issues are of vital conqern to the people. A full Democratic vote Is not only desirable but necessary, as ail Democrats ought to know by this time. ' Only two days remain in which to pay Poll Tax for the first of May will be here' next Monday. I understand that there are three hundred voters In the county who have not paid their poll tax, and I am taking th's method of urging them to immediate action. C B. WILLIAMS.

A way has been frwind to give prac tlcal assistance for this social ser vice campaign, In the decision of the association to provide plans free for the bu'lding of such a teacher's cot tage wherever the school authorities decide to rrIde In this manner for the comfort of the rural teacher. In order to prevent unauthorized per spoils taking advantage of this offer, tle association will insist that tho re'iuest for jdans be formally f.lod by the school superintendent of the CGiintywhere such a teacher's cot tage Is projected. It. S. Kellogg, secretary of ,1110 manufacturers association. who wrote the survey of the teacher's cot taire problem In the nation, has zone farther, and has now prepared dia grams for cottges such as may be built In various parts of the coun try, and has followed out tho plans which have been successful In other states, and also the types of schools In foreign lands where the teacher's cottage la a recognized lnstitut'on. Mr. Kellogg ha prepared a gen eral statement of the needs of any such cottage, which will fit almost any locality whea he aays: "The teacher's cottage will of ne cessity be within the boundartoa of j the tract of land assigned for the school house, or on a separate lot near by. The building site should b 'hosen so as to slve the cottage as good a sett'ng and outlook as pos sible. It should contain an acre or more to furnish room for a garden fatch. a chicken house, a cow or horse stable, and perhaps also room for some demonstration work, where elementary Instruction In agricultu ral is Introduced in the country schools. Such courses will Increase in the future, and It will be well to prov'de for them In selecting the site and determining Us size. "The cottage should be of two or : more rooms, depending upon the a billty of the district to build, or the possibility of combining with anoth er d'strlct for a union school with or more teachers. The cottage should be warmly and substantially built, for in the long run it is cheap er to build snugly than to pay fuel bills, and the same type of building which Is warm In winter Is cool In summer.. Moreover, chep, flimsy construrtlon w'll prove most expen sive In the lfn run for the cottage Is to be a permanent Institution In the community, and should be built to give many years of service. ' Special attention should be paid to details of arrangement since the teacher or teacher's w'fe will often do her own work, and steps should be saved. A good water supply is the first essential. If possible a bath room should be provided, and most certainly a cheap but effective method of sewerage disposal. These are Items of rural sanitation which are sadly neglected. The proper handling of them will be a perma nent example to the rest of the com munity, and a great factor in the improvement of condlt'ons of coun try living. "The cottage should be built of the materials most available in each locality and best adapted to Its needs These are easily aseertalned upon consultation with the nearest lum ber dealer or building supply man. The exterior may will consist "of mm SCHOOL CLOSES AT DEALS Denis. X. C.

The exter'or should always be kept well painted so as to make an attractive appearance, and to preserve the structure. The in terior trim should be stained rather than painted lit order to bring out the beauty of the wood work, and harmonious schemes of color and dec oration should be worked out to se cure an agreeable, home like atmos phere." Speaking of the work the author says: "The building of such cot tages Is the next big step In the im provement of the rural schools in the United States and I imagine when you look into the subject you will be as much surprised as I was to find how many cottages have already been built In su"h states as Wash ington. Texas. Oklahoma, South Car ollna. North Dakota, and Minnesota, Moreover, there is urgent call for them in at least some sections In al most every state."
