High School Text Books Adopted For 5 Years In County
Book Committee Names New
Books For Use In High School
Regular Five-Year Changes In
Text-Books Made At Meet
ing Here
At a meeting held here Tuesday
the members of the Cleveland
county text-book eommittec adopt
ed the high school text books to be
used in the Cleveland county high
schools for the next five years.
It is required by law that the list
of books used in North Carolina
high schools be revised every five
years. Heretofore the text-books
for all counties have been selected
by a state committee, but the pro
cedure followed this year was for
the state committee to approve a
list from which a county commit
tee could adopt books suitable to
the individual counties, a course
considered a financial saving over
the previous method.
The Committee Here.
The Cleveland county committee
selecting the text-books yesterday
for the high schools of the county
was made up of: I. C. Griffin,
Shelby; J. H. Grigg, Shelby; Law
ton Blanton, Lattimore; C. A. Led
ford, Belwood; and Claud Grigg,
Kings Mountain.
Adoption was made from a multi
pic list of books as approved by
the state commission, and the com
mittee wherever possible retained
the old books on the list. But in
several instances the books in use
in this county were left off the ap
proved list spreparcd by the state
commission. The county commit
tee was aided in the selection by
various teachers of the county who
submitted written and oral reports
on books being considered.
The text-books adopted are list
ed as follows:

PLANT.
r A POORLY
FERTILIZED FIELD
You wouldn’t expect your tractor to pull its
best with the gasoline feed cut down. Is it likely
that a field will give you its best yield if you cut
down on the quality or quantity of its plant
food? f
Perhaps you know of others who planted no
more acres than you and who worked no harder
than you. Yet they got bigger and better crops.
Why? Their fields were fertilized with the best
they could buy.
Plant With Royster’s
More than likely they grew their crops with
Royster fertilizer. It's the choice of thousands
who grow better than average crops year after
year. There’s a Royster fertilizer for every crop
and soil. And each is backed by 44 years of know
ing how. Aged and cured to perfect mechanical
condition, hence ’easy to put down. Always
made from best materials. Bigger demand for it
every yyar. You can best afford to me Royster’s
because Royster’s pays you best. See the Royster
dealer near you.

BLOATED FEELING
And vjDther Troubles Went
Away After This Sooth
Carolinian Had Taken
Black-Draught.
Iva, S. C.—“I have used Black
Draught, at Intervals, for about five
years,” says Mr. J. F. Gilliland, of
tills place. “I take it for indigestion.
“After eating, I would have a
tight, bloated feeling, and pains in
my chest and stomach. I would
spit up my food, and some things I
ate would not agree with me at all.
“I would be hungry, but afraid to
eat on account of the indigestion. X
would be constipated, too.
“Some one told me that I should
try Black-Draught, which I did,
with good results. I tAke just a
small dose after meals, and I feel
like a different person.
“I do not have any more trouble
of that kind. I can now eat al
most anything I want to, at any
lime, and it does not hurt me.
“Black-Draught is a splendid
medicine. I can reebmend it to
others.”
Thousands of people have found
relief, in cases of common indiges
tion, by taking a pinch of Black
Draught after meals, and con tinning
this treatment for several days.
Take Thedford’s Black-Draught.
It is purely vegetable and acts In a
helpful way, without the bad effects
of mineral drugs. sc 199
