For a number of years, this Island has been the
property of Madison County, deeded to the Coun
ty with the provision that it could not be sold to
private individuals, but-must be used for the pub

County sells it to Marshall for $3200 and Marsh

cient for the school and athletic field. ; It can be

The County Board of Education has been donated By the
town of Marshall a site on the Island for the erection of the
building It is the purpose of the Board of Educatoin to build a
breakwater sufficient to protect the island from any further
overflows that will mar the natural beauty of the island. The
grounds will be beautified, and a park provided for the use of
the town, as well as the school.
The Board of Aldermen of the town are to be congratulat
ed on this aetion. It will mean a great deal to the town as a
town ; for it will enable it to provide an ample auditorium which
is so badly needed for the town. In addition to this, ample
playgrounds will be provided for the townspeople and visitors.
It is the purpose of the County Board of Education to pro
ceed immediately with the carrying out of this project. The
State Board of Education through the Director of School House
Planning, is sending an engineer here at an early date to work
out plans for the building of the wall to protect the Island.
We wish to assure the people that nothing will be left undone
to preserve the Island and make it more beautiful and attrac
tive. Plans and speicfications for the new building will soon be
in the hands of the architect. The building proposed will be a
two storv structure, above the basement, containing at least six
teen class rooms, provisions for domestic science, manual train
ing, large library and reading room, offices, and an auditorium
on the first floor that will accommodate 1000 people. The build
ing will be modern in every detail, and when completed will be
the finest in any town in western North Carolina the size of
ivi arsnaii.
It is planned to have the building completed in time for the
opening of the term next fall. Therefore every effort will be

then comes pneumonia. Not that
pneumonia is always preceded by eith
er of these for often it is not, often
it comes like a bolt from a clear sky.
Pneumonia is associated in our
thoughts with colds and influenza be
cause it is a respiratory infection and
the discussion of it follows the dis
cussion of them because it is the most
often fatal.
It is safe to say, however, that
pneumonia is always preceded Dy
something which debilitated. Often
this was a cold or influenza but it
may have been unusual fatigue or ex
posure. If there is added to this
factor of debility an irritation of the
lungs, as colds or influenza will do,
then pneumonia is much more likely
to occur. Pneumonia has sometimes
followed an ether anaesthetic for
some surgical operation.
The cause of pneumonia is a speci
fic germ the pneumonococcus which
grows, when planted, and multiplies
in some part of the lung structure.
Like other infections this bacteria
when growing elminates a substance
which is peculiarly toxic to the hu
man being.
Catarrhal pneumonia, or broncho
pneumonia as it is often called, is
more common in children and tne
aged. In children it often follows
measles or whooping cough.
Croupous pneumonia is often called
lobar pneumonia, fibrinous pneumonia
acute pneumonia or pneumonitis.
Lobar pneumonia occurs mostly be
tween the ages of twenty and fifty
and statistics show that there are
four times as many cases in women
as in men. In three-fourths of the
cases, of lobar pneumonia the lower
lobe of the right lung is affected and
in one-half of the eases this lobe is
alono tha scat of rtsease.

tores. However, there is nothi
tag to prevent a taxpayer at this
time from closing his books and
computing his net income.
Such computations will not be
affected by any provisions of
the new act. . The actual prep
aration of the return itself, aft-'
er the computaljion, requires,
in a majority of cases, but a few
minutes. Therefore, it is ad
vised that all figures and data
be assembled, pending receipt1
of blanks by taxpayers. When j
released, blanks will be sent to
taxpayers and also may be ob

Collector at Raleigh, North

Electric refrigerators already

of the United States ten million
