North Carolina Schoolhouses.

Twenty out of every 100 of the
1858 white school districts in North
Carolina have a rude log school
house or no public school-house at
all! Think of it! mother words,
there are 484 log school-houses in
as many districts and 625 districts
with no public school-houses what
ever; in all, 1,1O9 districts out Of
1858.
But this does not tell half the sad
story. During the past winter 20
white schools in one county we're
closed because the miserable school
houses could not be made comfort
able. In one of the richest counties
in the State, fifteen white schools
we're reported whose lands, houses,
and equipment were valued at less
than $50 each. In one of the coun-
ties of Piedmont, North Carolina,
there are 30 out of 80 white school
houses which have no desks. If the
children write at all, they must place
the materials on their knees. In
another Piedmont county whose to-
tai school fund is something more
than $4,000, there are % out OF 30
white school-houses which are worth

was practically debating the distri-

State. The ex-Populist Senator
demonstrated that he was the shrewd-

Greensboro Telegram: Nj. T. G..
Pearson, of the Audubon Society,
has been notified that two of the
game wardens provided for in the
Audubon law as recently passed,
have been duly commissioned. They
are n. j. Jennett, of Dare County,
and W. F. Weeks, of Southport.
They get fifty dollars a month, and
they devote all their time to the pro-
lection of the seabirds on the North
Carolina coast. Mr.. Jenhett guards
the coast from Roanoke Island to
Ocracoke. Mr.. Weeks looks after
the coast regions of Brunswick and
New Hanover Counties. Each of
the wardens wears a badge bearing
the words: "Game Warden, North
Carolina" Some idea of the extent
to which the supply of sea birds has
been reduced may be had from the
fact that the game wardens have re-
ported to Professor Pearson the find
ing of only five hundred birds in that
portion of the coast which they trav-
ell. There should be many times that
number, and there will be soon if the
birds are properly protected.

BIG MONEY IN STRAWBERRIES.
Growers Clear al Much as 5000 Per
Acre-Increase in Acreage likely.

Wilmington, May 24.-The straw
berry season in this section Of East
ern Carolina will likely come to a
close this week. The crop of 1908
has been the most profitable in years,
some growers reporting net profits
of as much as $500 per acre. To
date the carload shipments in re-
frigerator cars have been about t.
812 ars and about 54,688 crates by
Southern Express, against only l.
119 cars and 41,259 crates by express
during the entire season last year.
The shipments this week are expect
ed to run the total number of cars
to more than 1000 and~the number
of crates to~over 10000. In some
sections growers report that a Sec
ond crop is forming, and if it ma
lures it will prove a veritable boon
to this section. In it's issue to-mor-
row., the Carolina Fruit and Truck
Growers Journal, of this city, will
say:
"From points along the Seaboard
Air Line between Wilmington and
Hamlet, several carloads of straw
berries have been shipped this sea-
son and from the same territory next
year shipments will be fully one hun
dred per cent in excess of this yea
At many points along the S. A. L.
the soil is peculiarly adapted to the
growth of Strawberries Of a very
high order, and the experiment this
season has been attended with a de-
gree of success far and beyond the
most sanguine expectations of all.
In the vicinity of Chadbourn, Fair
Bluff and Mullins, S. O., there will
also be a tremendous increase in
acreage next year, and plans are
already maturing to that end. Be
tween the increase in strawberry, let
tuce, onion and potato acreage next
year, it would seem that this whole
section is to be converted into a
vertitable truck farm"

North Carolina Cases in the United
States Supreme Court.

North Carolina Cases in the United
States Supreme Court.
There have been several decisions
in the Supreme Court of the United
States, in the recent past, which are
of interest to North Carolinians.
One of these, and, perhaps, the
most important, is the decision in
Southern Railway VS.. Allison. To
make the decision clear to the lay
reader, a little explanation is neces-
sary. By United States law, if a
person sue a foreign corporation for
more than $4,000, the corporation has
the right to have the suit removed
to ~one of the Federal Courts. An
act known as the Craig Act was
passed by our Legislature in 1899,
requiring every foreign corporation
to become domesticated, with the
purpose of preventing the removal
of suits to the Federal Courts by
SdIu COIpOIdJ1Ou' 1L6 VdIluIGy VI
this act has been frequently upheld
by the Supreme Court of North
Carolina, but it was denied in Rail
way VS.. Allison by the Supreme
Court of the United States. This de
cision will have a great influence "
on the course of future litigation j.
North Carolina.
Another case Of Importance w.
Commissioners of Wilkes County W.
Coler, and the question involved
here was the validity of 100000
worth of bonds issued by Wilkes
County to aid in the construction
of the Wilkesboro branch of the
Northwestern North Carolina Rail
road. The question had been liti-
gated in the State courts and decid-
ed adversely to the bond-holders;
but this was reversed in the Supreme
Court of the United States. The
Stanley bond case, very similar, is
also in the same court, but has not
yet been decided.
The courts of the State denied the
validity Of the bonds upon a techni-
cality.~ There is no dispute about
the fact hat the county issued the
bonds, sold them, and gave the mon
ey to the railroad; the only question
is, did they have the right, under
the law, to issue the bonds? And so
we think that the demands of justice
are met by this last decision. Re
p~udiation is morally wrong and bad
for the credit of any municipality.

First Wheel Clock.

Some say that Archimedes made the
first wheel clock as early as 200 B. c.,
says the London Electrical Age. 9th
ers give credit to Wallingford, who
lived so late as the beginning Of the
fourteenth century. But the most per-
feet water clocks We're, long before the
latter period, furnished with wheels, so
that the only improvement was the
substitution of solid body to act as
a moving weight instead of water. 1t
Is not to be wondered at that the ap-
plication of weight to clocks as a
moving power should attract so little
attention, as water and sand were un-
doubtedly thought more convenient by
contemporary writer's. The oldest COM
plete clock moved by weights is prob
ably that sent by the sultan of Turkey
to Frederick II. in 1882. In the thir-
teenth century many of the church
steeples in Italy were furnished with
clocks moved by weights, which struck
the hours. Hele of Nuremberg is sup
posed to have constructed the first
watch in 1900, and to him must also be
given the credit of the spring clock.
The fusee was probably invented In
England about the end of the sixteenth
century. But 1t was not until the mid
die of the seventeenth century that the
pendulum was first applied to clocks
by Huyghens.

FOR THE HOUSEWIFE


This Is a good time of the year for
suggestions in regard to the treatment
of floors for those who do not feel able
to have hardwood floors. This is espe-
cially nice for southern floors, for there
are many housewives who do not like
carpets or heavy rugs in warm wealth
er. They do not consider them healthy.
If you have cracks between the
boards in the floors, they must be filled
with putty before the stain is applied.
Next mix linseed oil and burnt umber
In the proportion of tablespoonful Of
burnt umber to pint of oil. If you de-
sire lighter shade of brown, use a lit
tie less umber. Apply with a paint
brush, rubbing it in well. After a few
days apply second coat, and some put
a third coat; then some just one. Try
a little particle of paint after mixed on
piece Of wood to see If the color suits
you.
The preparation of the floor before
applying is very essential. 1t must be
perfectly clean. SO that the stain will
adhere firmly instead of peeling off or
showing uneven or clouded surface be-
meath.
The best way to remove the grease
spots and not leave traces of lye or
strong soap. which Injuries the paint, is
to prepare good cleansing suds of
rainwater and pearline. Have it warm,
and change water as soon as it gets
soiled. The idea is to have a clean,
evenlike floor under the stain. If you
do not, the floor will not be success.
This stain makes rich brown color
and looks almost like hardwood floor.
