TO TELL WHAT THEY KNOW.
TEACHERS WILL BE EXAMINEDIN
DAWSON TOMORROW.
Examination Will Be Held at Court
House, and Will Last All Day. A
Higher Average Required.

Applicants for license to teach in
the common schools of the county will
be examined by Commissioner j. IA.
Whitchard tomorrow, Thursday, June
22nd. The examination will include
applicants for all positions except
those in the city school system, which
is operated locally and not by direction
of the state or county school officials.
Indications point to larger number
of applicants than in previous years.
Owing to the favorable legislation tor
ward the common school teachers and
the general management of the
schools which passed the last legisla-
ture, requiring the payment of teach
ers at the conclusion of each months
work, it is apparent that renewed in
terest is being taken in the schools and
that the number Of applicants will be
accordingly increased.
Higher average Is Required.
For the past few years the standard
of examination for applicants to teach
has constantly been raised and the
grading of the examination made cor
respondingly stricter. heretofore an
average of seventy in all studies would
secure the lowest grade Of license
for one year. An average of eighty
was necessary to obtain the two years
license and ninety to secure the license
of three years.
Beginning with this year the grad
ing has undergone change, and the
applicants who wish the one year Ii
cense must have as high an average as
seventy five; for the two years license
eighty-two and one-half, and ninety
for the three years license.
The examination will be held at the
court house, and will begin at 6 30
O'Clock IN the morning and close at
shutdown. 1t will be found much short
err than heretofore, only ten questions
being asked IN each of the seven brach-
es examined on.

For an Editor to Recommend Patent
McdIcines2

From Sylvan Valley News, Brevard, N. C.
1t may be a question whether the editor
Of a newspaper has the right to publicly
recommend any of the various proprietary
medicines which food the market, yet as a
preventive of suffering we feel it a duty to
say good word for Chamberlain's Collie.
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. We have
known and used this medicine In our fam
lily for twenty years and have always
found it reliable. In many cases a dose
of this remedy would save hours of suf-
fering while physician is awaited. We
do not believe In depending implicitly on
any medicine for a cure, but we do be-
lieve that If bottle of Chamberlan's
Diarrheoa Remedy were kept on hand and
administered at the inception of an attack
much suffering might be avoided and in
very many cases the presence Of a physi-
clan would not be required At least this
has been our experience during the past
twenty years. For sale by druggists.

within a few months she yin have No

DR.. LIE Roy Brown. 40. 70 West Eighty
| first street, has original and decided views.
He Is a specialist for women. and said
yesterday:
well. am little different from my
brothers of the old school 1 believe that
tight lacing Is a crying shame, distorting
not only the figure out or all natural
shape. but displacing as well the liver and
the organs of the stomach. On the other
hand woman who has always worn q
Corset needs certain amount of support
they have given her. And a stout woman
needs some such support. You know the
figure of a woman who has never worn
corsets and one who has Is very different,
and am sure it would be best never to
have put them on. But, as We cannot
change the world, let us modify 1t, and il
you women know Of some slight support,

It."
What conclusion then do we reach re-
garding this interesting part of woman's
appearance? Doubtless it would have
been better had our women never fallen
under the fascination of these rigid, I'M
lovely articles. and doubtless the hygenic
rules are broken and frightfully distorted
by their usage. but, while the practical
women of today admits all these facts,
and is willing to compromise in the matter
by modifying the corset and foreswearing
tight lacing still we dare positively affirm
that, no matter how bravely few of our
French sisters may try to suppress it en-
tirely, the corset, in some slight degree at
least, will sstay, in both senses Of the
wird.
1t is, like other things most In vogue,
open to attacks upon it, even from its ear
lest friends, the tickle Parisians, who
have made 1t famous, and 1t will be inter-
esting to watch its attitude FOR the future.
VIII the high English corset, straight and
unbending, triumph in the end, or will the
low-cut Calve corset, or the uniovely re-
form corset, or the dainty little ribbon
corset prove the winner Of fair woman's
approval? We hear the slender reader say,
"Oh, nothing but ribbon corset for mel"
We hear the palpitating, uncomfortable,
stout matron exclafn. ''They are all dread
full, and 1 love to get them off at night
and breathe, but-we've got to have emf
We hear the athletic the hygienic, theCad-
vanced woman vigorously protest, and
hold aloft the reform corset as the only
safe and reliable. Which shall it be? As
Paris started the contest, we shall look to
Paris to end it, and we shall be satisfied
with whatever our dainty French sister
determines upon.
Physicians, who see no beauty in lines
that were made by suffering, say that II

the earth, when Knighthood Was in
