to the bargain. If he wanted a vote
he had to reside in the country four
teen years and then he might make
application, which had to be signed
by three-fourths of the inhabitants of
his district and receive the assent of
the raad. Even then he was not ad-
mitted to hrst-class citizen privileges.
Other grievances too numerous to
mention were ranking the uit1ander
bosom.

The Free State had been established
as a republic by Great Britain much
against the will of it's burghers, who
had even sought and obtained COM
pensation for the withdrawal of the
protecting power of the British. They
were not threatened in any way. Even
their alliance with the Transvaal
should not have led them into the ag-
gressive- The truth is that the old
standing quarrel between Briton and
Beer was bound to be settled by the
arbitrament of the sword. The atmos-
phere had to be cleared. The Beers
felt that and were determined, as
PRESIDENT Kruger himself said in 1887,
Ito take their place among the great
nations of the world. -
After long parley, the Beers still
fusing British terms for the uitlanders
and President Kruger and his burgh-
ers showing every sign of Impotence,
President Steyn of the Free State
called out his burghers in arms. Brit
ish re-enforcements kept pouring into
the country and the British army re-
serves were called out.
On Oct. 9, 1899, the Transvaal sent
the British government an ultimatum
for the withdrawal of the British
troops from the borders of the repub-
lie and the withdrawal of the re-en-
forcements. Within forty-eight hours

Supt Charles E. Boyer, of Cabarrus
county spoke on "Some Observed Re-
suits of Consolidation" He said that
Cabarrus county had made eight con-
solicitations since 1901. He told of the
consolidation of two districts, whose
attendance was respectively p and %.
The results were a better school house,
better attendance notwithstanding sew
eral children were transferred. The
people were satisfied, and applications
came for more consultations, until now
nthat neighborhood four districts have
been consolidated into two, with cen
sus for each of something like 157.
Other examples were cited of splendid
results achieved by consolidation in Ca
barrus county.
The chairman then asked all superin-
tendents who had succeeded in making
consultations to rise. Considerably
more than half arose.
Supt. Scarborough of Hartford, said
there were, thirty-one districts and 3,l22
white children in his county, accord
ingly the district were too large to con-
solidate In one district, there were
only 80 children, but II of them were
four and one-haIf miles from the school
house. and so it became necessary to
have two school houses in that district.
Supt. Cooper, of Onslow, said that they
had recently abolished district, and
there had been so much opposition that
they had finally restored it. He, how
ever, favored consolidation

is $170. In one county last winter four

children could not be kept warm in them,
in other words, because they were not
habitable in the winter in a temperate
climate. In one of the richest counties

reported valued, houses, equipment and
land at less than $50 each
The necessity of a county school map
was urged, as well as the serious con-
sideration of the best and most econom-
cal plans for school buildings.
The speaker dwelt very strongly upon
local taxation, saying in part:
''SiXty-nine per cent of all the money
raised for public schools in these United
States is raised by local taxation. In
all States that have systems of public
schools well equipped and adequate to
the work of educating all their people,
a large per cent. of the public school
funds are raised by local taxation. In
some of these States as much as 80 per
cent is raised by local taxation In our
own State the only communities that have
succeeded in providing a system Of
schools running for eight or ten months

and equipment and the best teachers ar,

districts that have supplemented their

taxation. The experience of other States

IN closing superintendent Joyner

educational interest and progress
throughout the State. Thank God" said
he, this dear old State of ours has
caught at last the spirit of this new
century and is beginning to thrill with
the music of this new song:

and inspiring one, and elected much ap-

anything but cold water until she was

coffee.
She says: about one year after our
marriage, my husband began to complain
OF distress in his stomach and 1 had
such dizzy spells after each meal, that
we had to see doctor. We drank coffee
three times a day. but did not imagine
that coffee was causing all this distress.
The doctor said both our livers were out
OF order, gave us some medicine, and
told us that we ought to break off drink
ing coffee. We stopped il for a while.
but missed the hot drink so much we
went back to coffee. In five years time
iost complexion that was faultless
ana gained very bad stomach, and my
husbands stomach was ruined. He
thought he had cancer of the stomach
or something worse, but we had formed
the habit of coffee drinking, and like
drunkards found it no easy matter to
break off, although we knew it was
killing both of us.

A Great Meeting of County
Superintendent.
SUPT. J0YNER'S ADDRESS
Interesting Discussions on COTS. Iidatior, Loca-
lion and Plans of School Houses, Equip
ment, School Map, Local Tax
alton, etc.

1t was shortly after eleven o'clock
"hen state Superintendent j. Y. Joyner
called to order the State Conference of
County Superintendent in the hall of
the House of Representatives. and asked
Rev. j. y. Smith, chairman of the
Board of Education of Columbus county,
to make the opening prayer, which he
did very fervently and beautifully.
Supt. Joyner then delivered the open
ing address.
After an appropriate introduction and
some words of greeting, Supt. Joyner
said that one of the first purposes of the
meeting and one of the first steps in the
direction of more efficient public school
system was a thorough organization Of
the men that direct this system in the
81 counties of the State. There should
be each year at least one general con-
ference of the county suprintendents
with the State Superintendent.
Among the questions to be discussed,
Supt. Joyner mentioned consolidation of
districts. improvement of school houses
and grounds, local taxation and super
vision.
On the subject of consolidation the
speaker, after showing that SO per cent.
of the white districts of the State and
90 per cent. of the colored districts con-
tain less than 65 children, the minimum
fixed by law, said in part:
us it not a simple business PROPOSE
tion that with a given fund to be divid-
ed among number of districts and
schools the smaller the number of dis
tricts and schools the larger the amount
of money for each district and school,
the larger the number of districts and
schools the smaller the amount of money
for each district and school? Is not this
proposition as plain as the simple prin-
ciple of division, that with a given
dividend the larger the divisor the small
Ter the quotient, the smaller the divisor

the larger the quotient? Is it not equally
plain that the larger the amount of
money for each district or school the
better the house, the better the teacher.
the longer the term it can have? If this
be true, does not every principle OF
economy and common sense dictate the
reduction by reasonable consolidation OF
the number of districts or schools in
each county to the smallest possible
number consistent with the right of
every child 10 be within reasonable
reach of some school. Consolidation be-

proper that we should discuss it, in

dence of those who have tried it and
then do what our duty as sworn officers
dictates"

cation is to be carried on, the State Su-
