OUR OPPORTUNITY AND DUTY IN
THE AUGUST ELECTION.
On. C. Christian Advocate.)

On. c. Christian Advocate)
1t is evident that the school election
next month will be the most significant
held for many years in North Carolina.
1t lis now in the power of our people to
plant in every township in our State a
well-equipped school. This means the re-
moval of the educational stigma resting
upon our State, and the giving to the I'M
educated thousands golden opportunities
for the possession of enlightenment and
sound citizenship. Every voter should APP
preciate the value and significance of the
issue, and the grave responsibility rest
ing upon him as an individual and as n
citizen. The failure of the people to vote
for the increased tax would be a sad ca
lamity. At least. this is our opinion based
upon careful study of the question. We
sincerely trust that there will be no fail
ure, but if our hopes are disappointed it
will be due to several causes First, the
Indifference of the great mass of voters,
resulting from ignorance of the nature,
aims, and purpose of the question to be
voted upon. We are glad to know that
the newspapers of the State and public
speakers are hard at work educating the
people on the question. Every advocate
Of the common school should let his voice
be heard in the land, exhorting men to
vote for the school house and education.
Secondly, Indifference, pure and simple,
on the part Of the people. 1t is said that
the great mass Of people do not care for
better common schools, and that If they
had them they would not patronize them.
We believe that the statement lacks
truth. Let us test 1t anyway. Thirdly,
unwillingness to be taxed either for self
or for others. Many perhaps would be
willing to vote tax if it should help his
own children, and yet be unwilling to
vote tax to educate other mems chill
dren. Now lis a fine opportunity to teach
the truth, which we are glad to say is
becoming widely recognized that every
dollar we spend in educating the poorest
waif that walks the street, or the ragged
negro child. comes back to us, not only
in a moral but material way. The carry
ing of the August election would be not
only a great ethical but material victory
full of promise to the State and to the
age. Let every citizen do his duty, and
we will be willing to abide by the result

Free Cure For Men.
A MICHIGAN MAN OFFERS TO
SEND HIS DISCOVERY FREE.

Claims to be a Benefactor to Weakened
Mankind.
There is always more or less suspicion
attached to anything that is offered free
but sometimes man so overfiows with
generosity that he cannot rest until his
discovery is known to the world, in order
that his fellow men may profit by what
he has discovered 1t is upon this princi-
pie that resident of Kalamazoo, Mich,
desires to send free to mankind a pre-
scription which will cure them of any
form of nervous debility; relieves them of
all the doubt and uncertainty which such
men are peculiarly liable to and restores
the organs to natural size and vigor. AS
it costs nothing to try the experiment it
would seem that any man, suffering with
the nervous troubles that usually attack
men who never stopped to realize what
might be the final result, ought to be
deeply interested in remedy which will
restore them to health, strength and
vigor, without which they continue to
live an existence of untold misery. AS
the remedy in question was the result of
many years research as to what cOmbi-
nation would be peculiarly effective in
restoring to men the strength they need,
it would seem that all men suffering with
any form of nervous weakness ought to
write for such a remedy at once. re-
quest to III. @. Odds, Box 1922, Kala-
maZoo, Michigan, stating that you are
not sending for the prescription out of
idle curiosity, but that you wish to make
use of the medicine by giving it trial,
will be answered promptly and without
evidence as to where information came
from.
The prescription is sent free, and al
though some may wonder how Mr.. Odds
can afford to give away his discovery,
there is no doubt about the offer being
genuine. Cut this out and send TO Mr..
Odds that he may know how you came to
write him.

PUBLIC SCHOOL ELECTION, AU7
4 GUST 10TH. 4

By act of the General Assembly an
election will be held in every township in
North Carolina in which there is no
local taxation for school purposes, Tues
day, August 10th, for the purpose of
improving the public schools by local
taxation.
The State of North Carolina has ap-
propriated $4,000 out of the General
Fund to be apportioned among the
townships voting in favor of local taxa
ton. If a township votes a tax Of 10
cents on the 500 worth of property and
30 cents ON the poll and thus raises $500
in addition to the usual school fund,
the State will add $500 more, making
the extra amount added to the School
Fund in the township $1,000. If the
township raises $500, the State will
give $500. If it raises over $500, the
State will add $500
Any township that votes for local tax
alton will, therefore, be sure to have
first-class public schools.
Col. j. s. Carr, of Durham, has prom
ised to give $500 to the school fund Of
the county that votes the largest per cent
Of its voters for local taxation. Let all
strive to get this bounty.
Remember the day, August 10th. Be
at the voting place and bring your
neighbors. To stay away will be equal
to voting against this plan to get good
schools for only a small expense. The
tax of ten cents on the 500 is only one
dollar ON thousand or five dollars on
five thousand. Surely every citizen will
see that thus the best schools can be
obtained cheaper than any other way. n
