Small Girl's Unfortunate Remem
brance of Mother's Remark :
Caused Embarrassment,
Col. George Harvey said at a ban
quet In his honor In New York:
"We editors like criticism, espe-
cially when it is of the very favorable
kind that I've received this evening.
"But not all criticism 1b favorable,
even for the most successful editors.
A good many editors, In fact, often
find themselves in the position of the

niece said:
" 'Uncle, how long do people live?'
' "'The natural span of man's life,'
the uncle answered, 'Is, as the Good
Book tells us, three score years and
ten. - ' :! . '-:-
" 'Oh, then youH live to be one hun
dred and forty, won't you uncle?'
"The old man looked around the
room crowded with relatives and
laughed heartily. 1

do you make that out?' - -

BUILT A MONUMENT
The Best Sort In the World. .
"A monument built by and from
Postum," is the way an Illinois man
describes himself. He says':
"For years I was a coffee drinker
until at last 1 became a terrible suf
ferer from dyspepsia, constipation,
headaches and Indigestion.
"The different, kinds of medicine I
tried did not cure me, and; finally some
one told me to leave off coffee and
take up Postunu I was fortunate In
having the Postum made strictly ac
cording to directions on the pkg so
that from the start I liked It
"Gradually my. condition changed.
The old troubles disappeared and I
began to feel well again. My appetite
became good and I could digest food.
Now I am restored to strength and
health, can sleep Bound all night and
awake with a fresh and rested body.
"I am really a monument built by
Postum, for I was a physical wreck,
distressed in body and mind, and am
now a strong, healthy" man. . I know
exactly what made the change; it was
leaving off coffee and using Postum."

opposition and was the unanimous
choice of the jewelers for the next
meeting place.

Wadesboro. The low price of cotton
now and the prospect of its continu
ing to be low this fall caused the busl.
ness men of this place to seriously con
sider the erection, of a bonded ware
house for Anson county. Farmers
throughout the country Would gladly
welcome a plan that would assure
them a place to secure some money
upon their crops without being forced
to sell at low prices. Owing to several
fires that have recently occurred in
Wadesboro the necessity of an exten
sion of the water mains has become a
widely discussed problem.

"Moonlight Schools and Their Im
portance as an Educational Factor in
the Life of the State," was the sub
ject of State Supt. J. Y. Joyner's ad
dress before the meeting of the High
School Conference. Mr. Joyner out
lined the work the moonlight schools
are doing, and shewed the importance
of teachers cooperating in the work.
The schools" are becoming more and
more helpful; nearly every week
shows a new one established some
where in the state. "At present," said
the speaker, "there are 14 moonlight
schools in North Carolina. I hope to
see the day when every county in the
state will have one or more such
schools."
The conference closed with a thor
ough discussion of the farm life
school idea. Prominent men identi
fied with this work were here to take
part in the discussions and confer
ences. In response to a call from Mr. Joy
ner, 105 teachers have obligated them
selves to teach one month in some
moonlight school in the state. This
call is merely a preliminary one;
from all indications there will be many
more teachers who will help in the
great work.
The questipn of a more uniform
and satisfactory examination and cer
tification of pubUe school teachers has
also been discussed at the conference.
The disadvantages of the present sys
tem and the important points in the
bill before the last legislature receiv
ed attention at the meeting. Chapel
exercises were given over to an In
formal discussion of the question and
as a result resolutions were adopted
endorsing the blTl ior examination and
certification of teachers presented to
the last legislature and E. E. Sams
of the state department of education
was requested to have read similar
resolutions Before teachers attending
Institutes throughout the state. All
teachers attending summer - schools
were requested tp endorse the bill.
Firs Protection For Forests.
State Geologist Joseph Hyd Pratt,
Just from the North Carolina Forestry
Association conference closed aOMon
treat, is enthusiastic over the confer
ence that was held between Federal
and state forestry officials, owners of
timber and railroad lands and muni
cipal watersheds and resort forests,
which, he says, is certain to bring
about within a few months the com
plete equipment of a number of areas
of forest for fire protection through
the appointment of wardens and pa
trolmen and erection of lookout sta
tions. This is to be through the use
of the 12,000 that the federal govern
ment has allotted to this state and ad
ditional contributions provided by the
owners of the forest that will be in
cluded in these protected areas. He
expects that one including Mount
MItchsll wll consist of 100,000 or more
acres. There will be others as small
as 10,000 or 20,000 acres each.

Lee County Does Own Work.
Lee county is moving inedependent
ly of the state board of health, but
with utilization of the Uteraure that
the state board can provide without
cost In the work of vaccinating her cit
izenship against typhoid fever. The
county applied for the' usual financial
aid from the state board, but found
that it would be September before the
board could Join in a campaign, so
the county voted the full amount ; of
funds necessady and the "county-wide
campaign directed by Or. Lynn Mc
Iver of Sanford. .
Wheat Cip at State's Prison.
r Superintendent J. S. Mann of the
state's prison has gone to he state
farm in Halifax county, to look after
the threshing of the immense wheat
crop and other crop developments.
Fifteen hundred acres of wheat have
been cut and the threshing is now un
der way, the yield being considered
quite satisfactory. This wheat crop is
the outcome of a curtailment of the
cotton Crop from 1,000 to 600 acres and
the prison authorities are well pleas
ed. The wheat stubble lands art be
ing rapidly broken up.
Mors Than 19,000 Are Vacolnated.

Governor Craig's Health Improves.
There is much gratification kers a
the news from Ashevllle that t!e
health of Governor Craig, who is
spending the summer in the moun
tains, is improving steadily now. The
governor can scarcely be said to have
enjoyed normal health conditions at
any time thus far in bis administration
and many Intimate with his condition
have been very anxious on his ac
count On his recent trip North, Just be
fore he went to Ashevllle for the sum
mer, the Gove m or had himself thor
oughly examhvd by a medical special
ist in Philadelphia and subsequent
treatment is understood to be develop
ing In very satisfactory improvement
It was these conditions that led to the
determination of the Governor to ad
Just the affairs of the executive offices
here so that he could spend the sum
mer in comparative quiet and reBt in
tne mountains around Ashevllle, leav
ing Col. J. P. Kerr, his private secre
tary, to run tbe offices here while ue
gives bis personal attention to . af
fairs of state requiring such attention
at his Ashevllle summer home. The
arrangement is working most satisfac
torily for the people of the state hav
ing business with the executive offices
as well as for the Governor and his of
flee force.

August 4, Date For Hearing. ;
The corporation commission set Au
gust 4 as the date for hearing a dis
pute between the Southern Power
Company and the three counties of Ca
tawba, Iredell and Alexander ; as to
the tax assessment on the big power
plant that the Southern Power Com
pany is consructing on the Catawba
river at a point between Iredell and
CatawDa counties and near Alexander
county. It seems that the three coun
ties have proceeded to levy tax as
sessments against this plant as though
it were one-third in each county.
twelve Counties Have Farm Schools.
At least twelve counties in Norm
Carolina have taken advantage of the
present law permitting the esfab
lishment of farm-life schools, and
there are now in these counties as
many as fifteen farm-life schools.
The number will Increase rapidly as
the years go by. The boys and girts
in one of these schools, visited by
the 'writer, were enthusiastic, about
their school and their studies and on
commencement day said to him, "We
aie going to work and show folks we
know something about farming."

DIAGNOSED HIS OWN CASE
Noted Baklmore Surgeon Told 8ur
geons to Remove His Appendix as
Well as Gallstones.
Baltimore. A series of delicate op
erations successfully performed a few
days ago at Johns Hopkins hospital
upon Dr. Thomas S. Cullen, the noted
surgeon, demonstrated that a complete
diagnosis he had made of his condi
tion vhlle lying on the operating table
was exactly correct.
D. J. M. T. Finney had charge of
the operation, which started out to be
for gallstones. In the few minutes of
waiting the two men discussed the op
eration. Then It was that Doctor Cul
lea made the diagnosis.
He said he felt sure that there was
something else wrong with him be
sides gallstones and that something
else was an Incipient case of appendi
citis. He said that before the opera
tion was over and himself out of the
ether that he would be minus his ap
pendix. After most of the gallstones
were removed It was found necessary
to remove the appendix.
