Ever since civilization advanced so that
people had some choice as to what they

PURE-FOOD LEGISLATION.
Independent of these Investigations. the
prospects of pure-food legislation have been
materially improved by a new light which
has dawned upon the minds of packers and
manufacturers. They see an impending an
noyance to their business vastly greater

THE FIRST EDUCATIONAL BULLETIN
The Initial Number Out Yesterday Devoted to
Consolidation Of Districts.

The first Educational Bulletin issued
in the interest of education from the of
flee of the State Superintendent of Pub
lie instruction was out yesterday. 1t
is especially devoted to the subject of
Consolidation of Districts, and contains
a letter from Superintendent Joyner to
County superintendent, Boards of Edu-
cation, and Patrons of the Public Schools,
calling attention to the necessity and
advantages of consolidation of school
districts, and suggesting some means Of
securing larger districts. 1t is shown
that The law encourages larger districts
and school officers favor consolidation,
popular where adopted.
There is also q copy Of the resolu-
tions unanimously adopted by the con-
ference of twenty county superintendent,
held in Charlotte, May 1st and End, 1902
and letters from various county super
intendents on the subject
In preface to this initial number OF
the bulletin, Superintendent Joyner states
that it is the purpose to issue from time
to time these Educational Bulletins to
give to the people of the State needful
information about their public schools
and to afford a necessary medium OF
communication with them, and especially
with school officers and county superln-
tendents in regard to his plans and pur-
loses and hopes for the upbuildlng OF
these schools. He earnestly bespeaks the
warm interest and hearty cooperation
of all friends of the public schools
Subsequent numbers of the Educa-
tional Bulletin will discuss Improvement
Of Public School Houses, Local Taxation
Township Meetings for Teachers and
Patrons. Supervision, and other questions
of vital Importance to the public schools.
The Bulletin will be sent free to all
who will send their address to the super

The contest for the Congressional NOM
ination in the new Seventh district was
battle royal between as worthy COM
pany of young leaders as North Caro-
lima boasts. 1t required 1908 ballots to
make a nomination. The nominee is Mr..
Robert N. Page, of Montgomery, one of
the most progressive, prosperous and
useful of the younger business men in
North Carolina. He is a native of Wake
county, the second son of the late Mr.
Frank Page, who, with his Sons, built
the Aberdeen and Asheboro Railroad and
led in developing large sections of the
counties of Moore, Montgomery and
Randolph.
Mr.. Page is treasurer of the Aberdeen
and Asheboro Railroad and until it was
sold last year was president of the Page
Lumber Company. He is interested in
other important enterprises. In 1900 Mr.
Page was nominated for the Legislature
from Montgomery county. He was elected
and made reputation as one of our safest
and wisest legislators. He is a director
of the Western Hospital, Methodist Or
phanage. and is Christian gentleman
of the highest character. He is a man
of ability and will grow into an able
and useful Congr essman.
