SCHOOL MONEY
', ' . COMES FORTH.
Special Appropriation Will be
Made. Again for the Pub-
lie S c h o o 1 Four
Months' Term.
The public schools of the State
will once more get a special appro
priation of $100,000 a year, to be
distributed per capita, as.wnll as a
second $100,000 to bo used iti bring
ing the weaker counties up to the
constitutional requirement of a four
monshs school term.
But the amount of the second
. $100,000 that niav be asked for bv
each county shall not exceed the
average salary for each teacher, and
absolutely nolie of it is to be given
for buildiug or repairing school
houses.
The Joint Committee on Educa
tion yesterday afternoon finally set
tled tho matter, gfter considering
the three bills that were before
them.
First there was the bill drawn by
5upt. Joyner and Mr. White, of
Halifax, to appropriate $200,000 or
so much thoreof as may be necessary
to brins np all the schools of North
Carolina to the four months term,
as required in the Constitution.
A substitute to this proposes to
distribute $100,000 per capita among
the schools, and auother $100,000,
or as much thereof as may be heeded
to the weak counties to enable them
tofulUll the Constitutional reqtiire
' went. (The amount any one county
is limited to for each teacher is the
average salary and no more.)
The third bill before the committee
was one drawn by Mr. Smith, call
liug for an appropriation that would
be sufficient to bring up the schools
in the weak districts to the constitu
tional requirement of four months,
and limiting tho amount for each
county to $100 for each teacher.
Mr. Smith spoke in opposition to

making any special appropriation
directly from the treasury for any
per capita distribution additional to
the regular school fund. ,
Mr. Blount favored the per capita
appropriation, fearing that it might
be in the nature of a backward step.
Mr. White, of Halifax, also spoke
for the $100,000 appropriation per
capita.
Judge Graham likewise spoke for
the substitute bill.
Finally the substitute bill was
supported unanimously. News and

HEAD IT THROUGH.
Twould Spoil Tbis Story to Tell
It in the Headlines.
To use an eighteenth century
phrase, this is an ''o'er true tale.
Having happened in a small Virginia
town in the winter f 190, it is a
story very much of the present. Up
to a short time ago Mrs. John E.
Harmon, of Melfa Station, Va., had
no personal knowledgo of the rare
curative properties of Chamberlain's
Couyh liemedy. "Last January,"
she says, "my baby took a dreadful
cold and at one time 1 feared she
would have pneumonia, but one of
my neighbors told me how this rem
edy had cured her little boy and 1
began giving it to my baby at once
and it soon cured her. I heartily
thank the manufacturers of Chain
berlaiirs Cough liemedy for placing
so great a cure within my reach. 1
cannot recommend it too highly or
say too much in its favor. 1 hope
ail who read this will try it and be
convinced as 1 was." For sale by
all druggists.

Dr. Miles' Nervine Cured
Them Both.
Dr. Miles' Nervine is a specific for nervous
disorders. It removes the cause and effects
a speedy and permanent cure.
"I feel it is my duty to let you know that
your medicines have cured my little girl of
nine, of spasms. She commenced having them
at the aze of three. Our family doctor said
she would outgrow them but she did not
We took her to another physician who said
her trouble was epileptic fits in a mild form.
He did her no jjood either. She "was so
nervous she could hardly walk. As I had
already used Dr. Miles' Nervine and found
it a good remedy for myself I commenced
civing it to my child. I gave her in all ten
bottles of the Nervine and one of the Blood
Purifier. That was over two years ago and
she has not had an attack since we com
menced the treatment. She is no longer
troubled with nervousness and we consider
her permanently cured. I enclose her pic
ture. My mother-in-law lost her reason and
was insane for three months from the effects
of LaGrippe. Six bottles of Dr. Miles' Ner
vine cured her. My sister has also taken it
for sick headache with good results. Wc alt
