that is Catarrah. Halls Catarrah
Cure is the only positive ure known to
the medical fraternity. Catarrah being
a constitutional disease, requires a

How are we to get the build
ing?" We can sell our present
property in districts l and 2.
We ought to get say $500 for
it, as Dist. No. , has one acre
of land; then use one years
moneyofthe regular arportion-
ment from the county-S6OO-
and you have one thousand
dollars to begin with.
It is an easy matter to say
what might be done, but l do
know that the above arrange
ments, or something better,
can be carriedout successfully,
and if Morganton will not have
graded schools, then give the
children the next best thing
to be had-one good school,
with at least three teachers.
Township trustees, see that
every child in your township
is given the very best oppor-
tunity to get a practical edu-
cation. Don't let one mile or
a spring branch ever interfere
with you when a good, large
school can be built up. In
locating and building, locate
and build for thefuture. Re-
member that we are increas-
ing in population, and the
house that will accommodate
to-day will not be sufficient
ten years hence.
The day is disappointing
when every child will have to
be IN school, then we will have
to have houses to accommodate
them.
Respectfully,
HERBERT 0. HoUK, Supt.

That Crowded School Again.
To the Editor of The News:


| see an editorial concerning
the public school in North
Morganton. That8 children,
unless they we're graded bet
ter than we are prepared to
do in our schools at present,
are too many for one teacher,
is a fact that needs no argu-
ment to an intelligent people.
That a change is needed is
plain. That the persons in
authority have failed to see
the wants of the children of
this district, or if they have
seen them they have failed to
do their duty, is also very
plain.
But l did not intend to
charge any one with gross
negligence in my short letter,
but to try to show those who
are interested-and we all
should be-what can be done
with the public schools of
Morganton.
| will say, to start with,
that Morganton needs only
one school instead of two.
Mr.. Mebane says in a note:
"That township school trus-
tees should combine and con-
solidate the schools in most
instances, make fewer schools
and better schools. Do not
create any new school unless
it is absolutely necessary"
The district in North Nor
canton had, last year, $50
children. The district in
South Morganton had '239
children, making a total Of
489. But these two districts
do not include any south OF
Hunting creek. Now suppose
the trustees of Morganton
township would consolidate
districts l and 2 and run the
line so as to include the State
Hospital,-this would give
them at least $50 children,
Last year we gave S1.O9 per
head. We expect more every
year. But at this rate the
children of Morganton would
draw out of the school funC
$500. 5O-say 5000.
What can we do with this
amount!
1st. We can run six months
with three teachers, at the
rate of one at S4O.OO pei
month, one at $1,000 and one
at $500, and have enough
left to buy wood, &c.
2nd. Instead of crowding 8

The fall campaign will soon open in Burke
county and who will be the winner is already
a matter that interests not only every voter in
the county but every man. woman and child.
1t may not be of interest to a good many
people who was elected Governor of N. c. or
who is to be the next President of the u. S.
That meyer has nor never will effect any of US
unless we get an office.
The greatest campaign in ones life is the
one that we are managing this fall, and that
is, How to make money and where to spend
it.
Mr. Bryan is running his campaign on
anti-imperialism. Mr.. Mckinley is holding.
out their 3 years record of prosperity in the
nation.
Messrs. J. l.. Anderson & Co. are running
theirs on a record that they nave made, not
in the nation but in Burke and adjoining
counties, as being the greatest store to save
the people money and give, good honest
values at the least possible margin of profit
that was ever opened in this section.
This is our platform and we promise the
people if they elect us that we will improve
each season as our facilities enlarge, for
handling more goods and larger varieties un-
til we carry everything that is known to the
trade.
