J . : ; - t . , . m o ) 1 1 H, C MARTIN, EDITOR AND PROPRIETOR V ' PUBLISHED TUESDAYS AND FRIDAYS . PRICE Sl.00 THE YEAR VOLUME , LENOIR, NORTH CAROLINA, FRIDAY, MARCH 18, 1910 NO. '40 WHY HIGH SCHOOL IS CONTINUED. The continuation of the High School for an extra month is made possible by reason of the fact that It can be run with a minimum cost. Five grades, seventh to eleventh inclusive, can be run the extra month for less than $200 add three sevenths of the teaching force retained. Hence we retain practically one "half of the grades and one half of the teaching force for less than one third of the amouo' required to run the whole school for the same length of time. In the second place, it is al most absolutely necessary to run the High School nine months in order to graduate, all of the present graduating class, com posed of oine members, and make it possible for the other grades mentioned to complete the prescribed course of study and be promoted. In the third place, the course of study for the Primary and Grammar Shool grades is less rigid and more flexible than that of the upper grades, and can be more easily completed and mabe up. Then there are Ave years in which to make up this one month's work. Besides this, the pupils in the first six grades will practically tiuish the re quired work and be promoted. Every possible effort is beiug made by the teachers in charge to complete the course and pro mote those who would be en titled to proruoti'm at the eDd ol nine mouths. This is n t truey of the High School. Here the course of study is intended for more mature minds unci is much more rigid aud less flexible than that of the lower grades. The course of study for the High School is mapped out in accord ance with the requirements for college entrance examinations, and is planned for niue months' good solid work. In the fourth place, the short age in funds for the present. year is caused by building aud equip ping during last summer the primary rooms, the cost of which would run the entire sc hool two months looker. Since tin money !:as bon spent on th lower grades, it stands to reason that the lower graues, and not the High School, should be the losers of the month. Iu conclusion, w hat the Board has decided for the Lenoir School is no exception to the general rule in this State. It often hap pens that the High School -Department is run a month, and sometimes longer, than the Pri mary and Grammar Grades. John L Harris, Supt. To Build Horn for Aged Ladiea. Correepondence of The Observer. Durham, March 12. The King's Daughters to day opened a perma nent exchange whereby they work Weekly towards the erection of an old ladies' home. They have been on the proposition many months and have a site with considerable money in hand. They will Bel, their own goods candies, cakes, salads and the like and apply these steady sales to the home. Besides caring for the ladies, there will be given attention to young fatherless and motherless children and wayward girl9. 4 similar work tn the uhove hnt .

E. . Shell "ami D Kent, Druggists -' , . j TO CURE CONSUMPTION Dr. B. J. Kendall in Home and Farm say: "The most certain method ever adopted for the cure of the "great white plague" is through the diet used as per directions given below, which can be taken at home, and comes within the reach of the poor as well as the rich. . "During the last fifteen years have prescribed this diet in hun dreds of instances and where di rections have been followed strict ly, it has raised - the weight and increased tho- strength and vitality of the patient rapidly up to a normal condition, thus enabling nature to assert her sovereign right to be the dominating force in the body aud the germs causing consumption have been overcome and the cure accomplished. Some have gained a pound a day and wonld gradually take on less until they would not increase in weight more. "The all important thing is to drink large quantities of milk strippings (the very last of the nilking, which is all cream when a proper cow is selected). This seems so simple and easy that many have refused to follow di rections and demand mediciues to cure them; but there has not yet been discovered any medicine that is a specific for consumption. "To get best results a healthy cow should Imj selected, one that does not cough and oue that gives rery rich milk. A Jersey Cow is preferable. The milk should al ways be tested, to be sure that there is a large per cent, of cream iu it. "The last quart should be milk ed into a separate dish which rests in a larger vessel containing warm water just sufficient to preveut the stripping from cooling below blood heat. The cow should be thor oughly cleaned to prevent any dirt getting into the milk so the patient can blow back the froth and drink at once without strain ing, as this cools it too much. "Begin by drinking nearly a pint in the morning and the same at night and increase the quantity gradually so that in ten or filteen days a fpll quart will be taken im mediately after milking before it has had time to cool any. All should be taken that can Ik with out too much discotntort and then rest two or three minutes and drink more and rest again, and so on until a full quart has been tak en as soon as it can be convenient ly. In about fifteen minutes the patient should eat at tie table such articles of food as are known k agree with the stomach. At noon eat as usual. "When the strippings are not allowed to cool below blood heat and taken immediately after it is milked a full quart will be trans fused into the circulation in a re markably short time. I never have seen a case but could take strippings without any discomfort worth mentioning when above directions were followed strictly, although some have de clared they could not before try ing it; but when they delayed tak ing for a half an hour and the milk had cooled ten degrees I have seen half a pint make them very sick. The great secret ot success with it is in taking it immediately after milking and not allowing it , . B vt'VM un'inr urnn, inning a full quart morning and evening land having tniik that is very rich.

E. tfhell and Dr. Kent, Druggists. ROSE TO THE OCCASION. A Polite Elaphant and a Ready Witted 8howman. That everything should be in its own place it a mutter not only of convenience, but of necesnity for some people and some animals, as the following exuinplei from John Augustus O'Shea's ''Leaies Prom the Life of a Special Correspond ent'" go to prove. Certain orders of intellect run smoothly in accus tomed grooves, but have no ability to meet any unusual occasion. The author describes a visit to a travel ing menugerie. The showman was repeating his lesson Uke a schoolboy. He was en larging on the peculiarities of the ostrich of Africa, upon the uncanny form of which the visitors were sup posed to be gazing. "But, ray friend." 1 remarked in an undertone to that functionary, "that is not the ostrich of Africa: that is the pelican of Australia." "They're always playing jokes on me!" exclaimed the showman plain tively. "How can a cove tell which is which if they goes on a-changing of the cages when his back is turn ed?" In the other instance of the value of order it was the animal which was not equal to the emergency. The showman rose superior to such slight vicissitudes of fortune. In the illness of the regular show man a substitute was furnished with a piece of paper setting forth the elephant's tricks. "The behemoth will now walk around the ring on three legs!" shouted the showman. Behemoth did as ordered, and the audience applauded. "The behemoth will now stand on his hind legs!" The elephant performing his tasks faithfully. At last a mistake was made in the order. Throwing his whip on the ground, the showman announced that the behemoth would now lift the whip with his trunk. - Nothing of the kind happened. The ele phant began moving around the ring backward. A negro attendant whispered to the showman: "That's his next number!" The showman was equal to the occasion and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, mv fa vorite is not backing out of his en gagement, but he is more polite than 1 and wishes to make his fare well before he goes. So polished are his manners that he retire- us he might at court and presently will follow with the whip." Tha Appeal to the Record. Little Tommy returned sore and trembling from the torture room. "Doesn't your pupa ever thrash you?" he asked his chum, who is the son of a cabinet minister. "I should say not!" replied the other loftily. "Every time lie threat ens to cane me 1 rend him an ex tract from his great peace at any price speech, in which he said: 'These barbarians are like wayward children, but have we on that ac count the right to take away their heaven sent privilege to do as they please? Let us treat them as we would our own wayward children plead with them, beseech them, but never coerce them with either gun or rod.'" "That's a good deal to remember,"-remarked Tommy. "Yet, but nnw he's got so used to it that he drops the cane as soon as I start." London Answers. Love tha Qraater Wisdom. Wisdom always betrays the love in it. Love, just another warmer, closer name for wisdom, is selfish ness absolute. It is the law and the sweetness of the one organism which the universe is. The eternnl strange forces, love and selfishness, faith and godliness, have been submerged nay, hidden from human consciousness in the swish and swash of sentimcntalism and hypocrisy. They stand, none the less, eternal, complete, the foun dation, the one necessity, of the world, the home and character. They are the inner fac of man waiting to nnmor him c.f the ehnnce of completeness. Where thev are not recognized and made at home in the character man finds his life shredded to scraps and rags. Practical Ideals. Eightv seven in every hundred Canadian farmers own their own farms. INTUITION. Inataneee of tha Way It la Exerelaed In Everyday Lift, A surface motorman awakened a train of thought not long ago when he stopped his car shortly at a cross ing. There was apparently no one there waiting to get on. A woman was standing on the curb, not even looking toward the moving car, yet when the car came to this corner the motorman brought it to a stand still, and, sure enough, the woman hurried out of the crowd and clam bered aboard. "Ilow'd you know that woman wanted to get on?" he was asked as the controller was thrown on again and the cur started with a jerk. Must felt it,-' he laughed: "didn't know it. A fellow's affected that way in this business. How many people nowadays signal the motor man when they want him to stop? It's sonic sort of power, 1 guess, that tells me. 1 can't explain just what it is." This patient knight of the motor voiced one of the most bewildering psychological truth.- found in the entire downtown propaganda, v. here about every nip r.nJ tuck of the I u man habit, custom or peculiar. :y finds a shining place. Taking met ropolitan humanity as a whole, the re are few who do not u-e intuition m the course of the average wor!:d.:v. A certain teller in a large Chicag" bank recognizes intuition a.- a fait ful and valuable nllv, one that (;:: be put to good uses, thouch one V.:.' is not infallible. A "J. Uufus Wnl lingford" may stroll into this mini -bank, toss a thousand dollar eliei ' over the counter in a blase manner and something may "tell" the teilei that the check isn't cny good. "I just feel it," he explains 1 1 : . -strange power of intuition. And the check may be turned down, or, on the other hand some thing may "tell" the cislm. that ,the man is good he just feels it. Scoffers are referred to the aver age policeman. Does the city detective always know a crook when he plucks him out of a downtown crowd, when the man's hack perhaps is turned to the officer of the law? He feels that the shoulders and neck ahead of him the head crown ed with a battered derby is wanted Often he does not know the crook's name and could not tell w hy he ar rests him until the man is hauled bark to the station and his photo is found gracing the limelight in the rogues' gallery some months or years back, the intuition in a case of this sort being extremely strong, as records prove amply. Policemen and detectives are sup posed to study the photograph, the ' terse history and "story" of each crook as they are placed on the city's police records. We know that the mind of mortal man cannot car ry all of this data in his mind, which is n good indication of the wonder ful power of intuition which will draw the detective to the crook like a magnet from amory? a crowd of a thousand people. Chicago Tribune. How Good New Spread. "I am 70 year old and travel most of the time," writes B. F. Tolson, of Elixabethtown, Ky.

Harder-Working Acrei. Charlotte Observer. As illustrating the truth of the assertion that what this country needs is better farming ratherthau more farms. The Kansas City Star eites a Kansas farmer who cultivates fifteen acres and last year sold $5,400 worth of vege tables and fruit therefrom. Those fifteen acres w ere part of a 640- acie farm his father formerly had tried to cultivate with the aid of a family of boys, but he never pro duced as much on the entire farm in one year by theold style of larm ing as his son did last year under the new. Commenting on this in stance The Washington Post sas, that what is needed, is not more farmers but better farmers. There are millions of farmers in the United States today, it declares, who are land poor and every sea son are over-cropped. It has no donbt that' there is land enough in this country planted "to feed the Caucasian races of the entire world if the same skill, industry and care were brought to the work that is devoted to it in England or France or Germany or Belgium." We are glad to note that in this State, as is the case in others, the farmers are beginning to under stand the new style and as they do so it is beeouiing more popular. The Agricultural Department of the State and Federal government are doing valuable work in giving instructions in this matter, through establishment of numerous experi- mental farms where the mode of intensive farming and its results aie illustrated, and in other ways. These farms consist of a few acres selected by an agent of the depart ment who instructs the ow ner in the manner ot cultivation, the pro ceeds going to the owners of the land. In the near future there will be several such farms in every county in the State. Then theold style will soon disappear aud farm ing will become what it should he an enjoyable and remunerative profession. V A I. TABLE KRAI. ESTATE SALE.

There is more Catarrh iu this sec tion of the country than all other diseases put together, and nntil the last few years it waa supposed to be Incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease and prescribed local remedies, and )y constantly falling to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incur i ile. Science has proven catarrh to lie a constitutional disease, and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitu tional cure on the market. It is taken Internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. It acts directly on the blood and mucous surface of the system. They offer one hundred dollars for any case jt fails to cure. Send for circulars and tes timonials.

An important movement in the way of industrial education for the children of the mountain districts Western North Carolina has reach ed a practical conclusion, and on Tuesday an institution will be started at the old Byer's home stead, about two and one-half miles from Fletcher, in Henderson county, under the auspices or the Seven Day Adventist church, which will have for its principal object the industrial education of the residents of the mountains dis trict. The farm contains about 435 acres. The idea of the trustees is to es tablish a school which will prepare, teachers in the various forms ot in dustrial work, such as scientific farming, stock raising, practical household duties, cooking and nursing. The young men students will be instructed in the scientific methods of farmirg, trucking, stock raising and will, under the instructions of the professors and specialists, cultivate the whole farm. The products sold there from will defray all expenses of the school. When the institution is well es tablished training schools for nurs es will be instituted and a primary department established where children can be given elementary instruction iu farm work, as well as prepared for the higher branch es of education. The trustees for the school are as follows: Mrs. J. E. Kumbough, Asheville, Prof Sydney Browns burger and Prof. A. W. Spanldiug of Asheville, Prof. E. A. Suther land and P. T. McGann, of Nash ville, Tenn., and R. L. Williams, of tlraysville. NOTICE.
