at Wiley for heating purposes and prob
ably would be soon at Murphy. Four
schools needed painting, and additional
equipment had been needed for years. The
introduction of manual training and do
nestle science into all the schools was
necessary. Salaries in Raleigh are lower
than in many other places and the school
tax rate as low or, lower.
Mr.. Thompson, in the course OF his
remarks, stated that Superintendent
Moses had received letter from Superin-
tendent j. A. Matheson, OF the Durham
Public Schools, giving salaries OF teach
ers there. The four principals receive
salaries from $3.50 to $3.50 a year. The
81 teachers as follows: Primary, $1,000
per month for ten months; intermediate
S35-S45; High School, S45-$75; Special,
S35-$105.
Mr.. Thompson made a very strong, but
brief speech, along the line Of the press
ing needs of the schools, and the dan
ger of Gripping their usefulness by re-
ducing the tax levy
DR.. r. H. Lewis followed Mr.. Thomp-
son in a powerful, convincing talk. He
declared that the levy for graded schools
was the last thing IN the world to cur
tall The schools need every cent they
can get Why compel them to pinch and
squeeze as they have had to do? why
not allow them a little more? Why did
they not cut the county school fund? AS
q, matter of fact, the commissioners, IN
scrambling around after something TO ap-
pease the wratch of kicking taxpayers,
grabbed at the school fund as the first
thing they could lay their hands on.
DR.. Lewis said he did not consider that
any general complaint had come from
the public about the new assessment OF
property 1t was confined TO about one
hundred of the largest taxpayers. But
the board got excited. He believed the
property was assessed more justly this
time than ever before. Heretofore the
man with the small house and lot
always paid tax on its full value,
while the property owners paid on only a
small part of what they should be as
sessed.
After the School Committee had with
drawn, it took the Commissioners only
few minutes to decide to rescind the
order reducing the tax levy for graded
schools cents on the 500 and Is cents
on the poll

Chronic DiarIhoea of Nine
Years Standing Cured by
the Use of Mrs. Joe
Persons Remedy.

For nine long years I suffered from
chronic diarrhoea, which weakened me
down greatly. My weight went from 162
pounds to 81. l got so 1 could not do
any work, but could sit up a little. For
twelve months 1 lived on sweet milk and
bread If 1 ate anything else it would
start the bowels to troubling me, from
four to ten times a day. My doctor said
1 would never get well; l might get bet
ter but my bowels would always be my
weak point that would cause me trouble
when 1 would take cold. Seeing Mrs.
Persons advertisement on the South Bos-
ton bridge, 1 wrote to her and stated my
case. She said she did not think there
was any doubt of her Remedy curing me-
I commenced it and soon I could eat and
drink anything 1 wanted, except butter
milk. / took % bottles which made a
perfect cure of me, and 1 gradually re-
gained my weight until l again weighed
168 pounds. 1t has been seven years
since I was cured, and l am now perfect
ly well. 1 had a baby that was born with
a bowel trouble which nothing would
reach. He was born in May and in July
he had bad boil which he suffered from
for six months. I didn't know Mrs. Per-
sons Remedy could be used on so young
a baby, so I wrote to her. She advised its
use. Before he had taken bottle the
bowel trouble was cured and also the
boil, which the doctor said threatened to
be a serious trouble as it was so obstinate
and lasted so long.

Sweet Jasmine.

sThe scenic establishment of modern dra-
matte productions has been carried to an
extreme that would seem eXtravagant
were it not that the public has grown to
demand such perfection of detail. In the
production of Sweet Jasmine" which

scenic extravaganza is given striking IL
Illustrations. Especially is this evidenced
in the third act, where the saloon of
tres exclusive gambling palace is present
ed with its wealth of electric brilliancy,
mirrors, art decorations, rich carpet, etc,
a veritable fairy dream. Each of the four
massive scenes are as equally elaborate,
while different in construction and eff

DRAGGED HIS WIFEOUT
With 0aths Brutal Husband
Pulls Her From Mourn
er's Bench.

The story of mans brutality is told
of in this weeks issue of the Newton
Enterprise, this taking place in Catawba
county.
1t shows that the husband in the case
objected to the conversion of his wife
and it tells OF a scene in a church that
has hardly a parallel in its shocking
details. In brief the occurrence was this:
Last Sunday the wife of Ohm Hefner was
one of the penitents during the forenoon
services OF the revival meeting at Smiths
chapel in Middlebrook. Hefner objected
to this, and entered the chapel, and in
the presence of the large congregation,
dragged his wife out of the house and
used profane language. He was arrested
and taken before Justice of the Peace
Fleming and required to give bond for his
appearance before him to answer the
charge of disturbing religious worship.

If Coffee is the Hidden Worker" in Your
Case
Study your diet and see if in a natural
way you can build back to good health,
which means steady nerves and the good
old comfortable easy feeling of being
we'll If you drink coffee and are i'll you
should make sure whether coffee is, or is
not the cause of the trouble.
The easy way is to shift to Postum for
few weeks and then weigh results. A
Texas lady says: 81 was attacked with
nervous prostration three years ago this
month and because so weak and nervous
that | could not talk to any one or have
any one talk in my room. My circulation
was so poor I was so weak 1 could not

help me, and it was not until l read an
article In the newspaper and gave up my

and shifted to Postum l began to i'm
prove and l am now completely restored
to health. My nerves are strong and
sound and I am normal in every way"

STRONG ARGUMENTS
An Enthusiastic 0pen-Air
Meeting for Dispensary
Last Night.

The open air meeting for dispensary
last night at Swain and Hargett streets,
was an enthusiastic one. The crowd was
not large one, but it made up in in
terest and enthusiasm. All the speeches
were heartily applauded, and many telling
points were made.
The meeting was on the lawn of the
old Jordan place, and benches had been
provided for the comfort of the audience
and flaming gasoline torches hung on
trees. Altogether, with the green grass
and big trees and old-tibe house in the
background it made a picturesque set
ting.
Rev. G. 7. Adams pastor of the Central
Methodist church, presided and introduced
the speakers. The first was Mr. w. G.
Douglass, who took up one by one all
the harmful characteristics of the open
saloon, location, attractions, loafers, Sc
cretlveness, night drinking, social drink
ing, treating. In contrast he showed how
the dispensary did away with every one
of these properties of the open saloon, and
left nothing but the naked liquor itself,
to be sold In bottles and not consumed on
the premises. Mr.. Douglass speech made
decided hit.
Mr.. w. f. Faison spoke next. He said
he addressed himself especially to the Ia
boring classes. His many years of ex-
perence in dealing with labor questions
had taught him that the most serious
difficulty in the way of lettering labor
conditions was the open saloon.
Mr.. Faison stated that he had been ap-
preached recently and advised not to ally
himself On the side of dispensary, as he
would be digging his political grave.
"Well,' said Mr.. Faison, Il would rather
be buried politically than stand on any
other but the right side of a great moral
question" Cloud applause,)
Mr.. Faison closed by earnestly urging
the laboring men to do their own think
ing, and not allow themselves to be
guided by the statements of any one. II
they would only think for themselves,
they would do right, for they were the
most honest people in the world.
Finally Rev. G. T. Adams closed the
meeting with a brief, powerful argument
on the advantages of one dspensary over
twenty-three open bar-rooms.
