In the round, table discussion,' it was
decided that in the most instances a
week was necessary for visiting parenrs,
and cleaning up the school house and
grounds, preparatory to the opening of
the school. . . t -
With the thought, of moving into a

A fine'point ih'lhecare for the poor

pleasing manner through a reading by
Miks Ida Dilkes Wolf, of the Reidsvillo
Seminary.
" f he first day at school Enrollment
('lassi fications-and Text Books,"
which was-to have been discussed by
Prof. J.E. Crutchficld, in "his absence
was led inv discussion by Miss Auvila
Lindsay. She related the work done in
the Madison Schools by Prof., Crutch
field, preparatory to the opening of the
school and the 'successful results. In
the discussion, which followed many
questions which are likely to arise on
the first day of school wete ably answer.

As if speaking from jthe heart, Mrs. '
Lula Foster told "How to get children
to come to school," ' She summed up
one oi ner Dest points when she said we
can't expect uneducated! parents to send
their children to school unless we go to
see them and, point out the good of
sending them. . . .
Very appropriate were the'e.Wing re
marks of Prof. Hayes. After 'calling at
tention to the announcements of public
school work found everj .wee -in- the
county papers, and some explanation
of the financial report soon o appear,
he enlarged upon the idea of thinking
about the work, i He says "Think out
your work,Jthen work out your thought."
Again he would have the teaciersl do a
few things well than many things poorly.
Greatest in importance are the Three

teachers to do. Citizenship is not so
much in the hands of the politician as
in the bands of the teachers.
After a full day's work, this represen
tative body of the teachers of the coun
ty was dismissed with the announcement
that another meeting would be "held Iff

One
Democrat Who Escaped The
Republican Landslide.
That Hon. ' A." L. Brooks hn been
eleeted to Congress In tiis District to
succeed the Hon. W. W. Kitcbin is one
cause of great rejoicing in Rockingham.
His majority in tbia District will not be
less' than 2,000 and when the full re
turns are in it is possible that these
figures will be Increased. ; ;
His Republican opp oneut, J4r. J
Motley Moreeead. is a native of this
county, and while he has made' quite a
good showing.in bU first contest for
votes before our people Mr. Brooks
has held him down to a point below the
other candidates on the Republican
ticket, and he only secures the county
by something like a hundred majority.
A spirit of retaliation on the part of
Senator Reids' friends in the Western
end of the county cost tbe Democratic
candidate . a number of votes, and
strenuous efforts put forth by the Re
publican ' organization in this county i
counted mightily in Mr. Morehead's
favor, ', tot the plain fact thai Mr.
Brooks led the aounty ticket under the
cirtumstahces brings gladness to the
Democrats who have stood by his con
test with ovi countynun.
Every other Democratic Congress
man in the State-, hi elected with the
possible t xctpticn of Crawford, in the
Teath or A-hvilie District, and there is
every reason for believing Hackett, of
t ie Eighth District is defeated.
Rockingham county has ,' ejected
nearly - eietl Republican andiddte
mming, ftd tly- escaped -with grv
ing Kitcbin and the national ticket a
majority. There is not a precinct in
the county which has not shown a
kreat Republican gain, and in Reids-
ville, where thr Democrats scored a
victory of mere than 300 two years ago,
tome of the Republicans had large ma
jorities, Mr. Wray receiving more than
200 majority. Leaksville township.
which two years ago eave a Demo
cratic majority, slipped into the Repub
lican column, giving the candidates
majorities of from 175 to 220.
The rural precincts also gave Repub
lican gains, and Williamsburg, Oregon,
and even some of the Western pre
cincts tried to see how nearly unani
mous the could make it for the Re
publican, candidates
t here are several reasons assigned
for the great slump in the Democratic
vote, the principle one ' Jbeing the court
house fight which was kept alive by the
Fastern end of the county. It is evi
dent from tbe meagre returns that in a
spirit of retaliation the Western .provl
etnets slaughtered, some; of the ci3i
dates who were favored in theiepent
primaries by the Eastern end it -the
county, and the candidates on the Dem-

There are those who bay the recent

tbe beliel that Democrat wao ware
