THE ROANORE BEACON,
Piyjaou&, N. C.
This Legislature lias solved the
public school question and lias kept
the promise mde by Democratic
campaigners hit year that four
mouths public schools would be pro
vided iu every district in North
Carolina. It has increased the reg
ular school tax from 18 1-3 cents to
20 cents on the hundred dollars vaL
jjation of property. It has made an
extra appropriation of $100,000 a
ear to le divided, per capita, among
the school children of rorth Caroli
na, and another $100,000 to be di
vided only among the weak districts.
J2very district which receives less
than 1100 from the regular school
ta$ and the extra $100,000 divided
on a per capita basis, will receive
torn the second $100,000 enough
UeJp to make the full amount $100.
Calculating the pay of the teacher
at $25 a month, this will give a four
months school to each district. As
pearly all the schools in the towns
villget $100 or more without draw
ing fioin this last fund, it will be
distributed entirely in the country
districts aud will be sufficient to
bring all schools up to Ihe four
pionths mark. This is a good idea.
A.n it is so simple and practicable
that we are surprised that it was not
thought of before. Wo congratu
late Mr. Smith, Representative of
Gates, whose plan it is. The coun
try teacher and country children
"pan now calculate on having a four
nionthVterm of school every winter.
It prove a blessing to the State.
There is now no reason why any boy
or girl should reach tiie age of 2L
without being able to read and
write. -Newton Enterprise.
A Life And Death Fight.
Mr, W. A. Hines of Manchester, la.,
writin? of his almost miraculous escape
from death, says : "Exposure after measles
induced Serious lung trouble, which ended
in UonaUniptjon. I bad frequent hemor
rhages aud coughed night and dy. All my
doctors said I most soon die. Then I began
to use Dr. King's New Discovery for Cou
jsumption, which completely cured me. 1
would not be without it even if it cost $5.00
8 bottle. Hundreds have used it on my
recoujmeudation and all say it never fails to
pare Throat, Chest and Lang troubles."
