For many years we have made tWo
medicines suited to the ailments Of a
vast class of sufferers. Thousands of
cures have been made by them, and,
III fact, the word failure could not be
coupled with them. But within the
last two years counterfeits Of our
medicines have sprung up, dangerous
III their close imitation Of our Trade
Mark. To secure the people we have
placed upon each genuine box Of Hol-
loway's Ointment the fac smile Of
the signature Of our agent, Mr.. Jos.
Haydock. To counterfeit is felony.
We shall relentlessly pursue any one
who initiates this with the utmost
vigor OF the law. We most earnest

American people will aid US in our
efforts to protect their health. and
help us Ia our task Of bringing these
most nnprlncipled men to the bar of

DECORATION OF SCHOOL YARDS.
ID. H. FLETT, Edjter

1t is universally acknowledged that
the aesthetic faculty should receive due
culture in early life. Order, system,
beauty in all shapes and forms, is par
ticularly attractive to the child. And
yet in comparatively few instances is
there any special effort made to render
the school-houses and grounds pleasant
and attractive. All the greater credit,
therefore, is due TO those who do not
neglect this important matter. We
are led to make these remarks from
the fact that District No. and Of the
Town of Salem, have recently planted
shade trees entirely around their re-
gpective school-yards. In each case
about 100 trees have been planted.
These consist Of pine, spruce, noun
tain-ash and maple, and, in q few
years, if properly cared for, they must
add much to the good appearance OF
the premises. 1t is to be hoped that
the example of these districts may be
followed by o large number of others.

A STRANGE FREAK OF NATURE.
From the GAINESVILLE wis., Gazette. April 8

Yesterday, Miss Dottie Watson dis
covered 9 nut which we hope our sci
entl1lc men will crack. Wanting a
lemon, Miss Watson went to her sis
ters Mrs. Wilcox, to get one, and re-
turned nome with what she presumed
q genuine lemon. Upon cutting it, she
found the meat was that Of perfect
orange, both IN taste and appearance
Whlle the rlnd was in all respects that
OF lemon. The lemon-orange was
shown to several Of our leading citi-
zens, who can substantiate the state
ment regarding the dual nature Of the
frult, but are unable to explain the
matter.

The blackberry industry in Georgia,
North Carolina and other Southern
States, is about to open, and the local
papers are showing what a bonanza is
in danger of running to waste. The
little town Of Salem, S. c., containing
only about 1000 inhabitants, has shipp-
eel during three years over 100000
pounds OF dried blackberries, for which
nearly half a million dollars was receiv-
ed. This was equal to over 5000 bales
OF cotton at 10 cents a pound, and is a
resource not to be despised.

TEACHERS AND EXAMINATIONS.

The impression seems to prevail in
some communities, and in the minds of
those who have never taken any pains
to investigate that the examinations
are made too rigid and only a limited
number Of certificates granted-just
enough to supply the schools with
teachers and no more A careful in
Yestigation will convince any candid
minded person that these views are
wholly erroneous. The fact is that @
majority Of those who present them
selves as candidates for teachers are
very poorly prepared to assume the
duties and responsibilities Of the posi-
ton. Their education is very deficient
and they have not that self-control and
maturity Of judgment which is SO es-
sential in those who would seek to
train others. Every person who has
ever examined candidates or carefully
observed their work in school is we'll
aware Of these facts, and the superin-
tendent is often obliged, by the pres
sure of public opinion and in order to
supply the schools with teachers, to
grant certificates when he is painfully
conscious that the highest welfare Of
the schools would be better promoted
by a different course.
Below are q few examples illustra-
tive Of the educational attachments
Of some Of the applicants. In answer
TO the question estate two objects 10
be sought in teaching reading" one
person says, 'By learning to read you
can learn many other things; another,
"That we may be useful"
To the question, "Speak Of the more
general methods Of teaching primary
reading" we have the following an
swers: by having the pupils spell the
word and the teacher pronounce it"
Teaching the letters and words" ''byI
blackboard exercises the scholar mayI
learn to distinguish letters and words
more readily and know what theyl
mean"
10 the question, "Who compose the
County Board Of Supervisors, and what
are their chief duties," one answers,
chairman Register fDeeds = another
''Tho Judge Of Probate is one. II ID
his duty to settle. wills and estates y
another, Register Of Deeds, to keen
record of deeds. County Clerk to
swear in the jury and witnesses in tri-
ais. County Treasurer"
These are merely samples. Scores
OF other answers, equally absurd, and
extending over the whole range Of stu
dies, could be adduced. In view of
these facts are not rigid examinations
demanded? Is it not high time that
district boards endeayor to secure the
services of those who are best educated,
and most competent, even il the pecuni-
airy remuneration sought is q tride
greater. A few dollars a month is
nothing compared with the benefit or
injury received from a competent or
incompetent teacher.

Hayes to take away the soldiers.
They are not wanted in the state,
but are an injury to the peace

their own affairs. If Hayes will
take away his soldiers, mind
his own business, and regard his
constitutional obligations, they

Shreveport and adjoining par
ishes proved themselves to be on
the occasion Of our recent visit.
The cordial welcome held out
to Northern white people to
come and live among them on
terms Of perfect equality, GER
tainly could not be excelled in
generosity by any people on the
face Of the earth, and it convin-
ces me that that portion of the
South, at least, have been dread
fully misrepresented in the
North. Now that they are being
better understood and waking
up to their own interest in the
matter of inducing white emf
grafton to their locality, it is
only a question Of very short
time when the good people Of
both sections will unite and fra
ternize in spite Of the misrepre-
sentation and falsehood of the
thieves and liars that have en-
deavored for purpose to keep
them apart forever, in order
that the carpet-bagger and seal
awag might benefit by the sepa-
ration. Let us hope then that
the time is near at hand when
we will have no more of this clap
trap about the difficulty and
danger Northern people would
have to undergo by settling in
the Southwest. To mine host

Northern and Southern Industry.

The Nashville American says
the climates of the Northern and
Southern States differ widely,
and make their staple crops and
general industry quite unlike.
This broad natural difference of
climate and soil lays the foun-
dation for a lasting and profita-
bic exchange of commodities
between two sections of a nation
of continental proportions. The
freest and cheapest possible in
tercourse between the citizens
of all parts ofour common coun-
try is the true policy to be pur-
sued. Placing the railways from
Chicago to New Orleans under
one management, and reducing
the fare from 1913 to $3.50 be-
tween the two cities, is a step
in the right direction. Nothing
will tend so much to develop
our recources as constant inter
course between the North and
the South. Northern capitalists
will see on Southern soil that
1900 pounds of sugar may be
produced from cane in Louisiana
cheaper than 1000 pounds from
the sugar beet in Illinois. Solar
heat and light make this remark
able difference, leading to di-
versified industry, and pTofita-
bic trade in the States named.
AT the present price ofsugar
the people Of the United States
pay one hundred million dollars
a year for imported sugar and
molasses, while there is much |
capital in banks out of employ
ment, and tens of thousands of
Industrious men seeking in vain
for work and bread. There are
tens of millions of acres of
healthy piney woods land in
all the States that border on the |
Gulf whose climate and soil, with |
proper management, will give |
large returns in sugar and syrup. |
Our sugar, rice, cotton, and other
staples, are greatly needed in
the Northern, Middle and West
ern States; and it is for the peo-
pie OF these States to say wheth-
er they will favor or oppose
cheap production and transpor-
tation. Do they mean progress
sion or retrogression, in all the
future! Not little of our pub
lie securities, railroad and other
cooperate bonds, is held by North
ern men, who can hardly wish
to destroy property in the South.
