the Gasettea follows:
To the Editor of The Gazette:
For the past two or three
weePa there has beeo much sick
ness, among horses end mules
1 and a pood maiy have died from
' sting moldy corn.
Almost every day weseethoe
eases and hear of a .great many
more cases in nearby counties.
'From all appearances,' the con-'
ditiooa are becoming serious' for
the stock owners. -
This year the poisoning is
much more rapid and fatal than
-caual and, hi a number of cases,
' as many as two or three horses
and mlos have died on the same
farm. ' Treatment eeems to be of
- no avail unless taken at the very
- first signs of tbe attack and even
'then it presents muoti difflco.ty
' a the animal Is many times de
lirious or vicious. ; A
This disease is knon as "for
age poisoning." "mould poison-,
ing," "blind staggers,"" "sleeny
taggers,'' ''cerebro spinal men-
liigitit.," etc. Every year there
is more or less loos of livestock
from this disease in. the Middle
'West, South and Southeastern
State. Many times the out
breaks have very much' the p
spearanoeol some highly Infec
tious d -seas in that certain Jo
x'Ulties lose" nig percentage
of horses and mutes-ot il ages.
. The csUsatWe ager is cot always-
the --same," tait is due to'
moulds ot'various kinds and oc
vcaslonly poisonous bacteria tliit
- j.htve rown-u ..the feedstuff,
x tho gra'n or roughuess. Soxe
'' essons are such as to favor the
growth of the various moulds
and bacteria, iteuce some years
- the disease is touud so ol ten and
: other yoars we do not find it. '.';
Lately the wiiter has had oc
caalon to examine ' much of the
' feedstuff used Is Gaston and ad-
.Joining counties. There istnech
: vot the late corn and some ot the
. early com that is affected -.with )
a pink mould pa Jho small end of
- the ear and in trome cases -this
mould ist not very noticeable.
T,he pink mould,) in -m expert; !
nce. is the most poisonous .of
.' all moulds found on eora and of 1
ten it will kill an animal in a few
hours,
1 " The farmers ' and otockmen
'.'.' that are feeding corn should look
y. 'r carefully for :this; mould and
- . should the com be affeobvlhe
V aboutd stop folding it 'to his
" ' Jioros''nd mJ)e Immediately
It Is not neceesij-y that the corn
be thrown away for in montcates
f it can be fed to cattle and hoes
as neither of these animals are
- susceptible' to this disease. :-t ' 1

situation more particularly.
Wo have au enrolment of 431

Attendance of the High school,

the V recommondatiou that the

with 30 pupils. Under present
Conditions we have an excels of

mainly In the 2nd. grade in which
we have erii-ol'mnt.of 63 and an
atendance.bt 57 uhderone teach
er. and also in the 5th. 6th. and
7th. grades, in which grads a
total attendance . of 100 is
miintaiued under two teachers.
In our High school department
also there is need of another
teacher. With our present three
years course and two teachers
including sperintendeutit is im
possible to prepare our students
for unconditional entrance into
the freshman class of the stand-
vrd colleges of our state, with
the addition : of inotber teacher,
we would be able to add an elev
enth grade, and. would aiso
give -our Mperiutendeat some
time for supervision.

can provide more school f uuds?
