girls will learn to make things at home
and stop sending to Masssct usetts for
them. He said that boy who curries 4
horse is entitled to as much respect In
his honest toll as the man who works
in a bank.
Mr.. eileen closed his strong and able
speech In an eloquent and pathetic de-
claration that be is speaking for the
unfortunate ones OF our State among
the deaf, dumb and blind, the poor
boys and girls throughout the State
who long for education and an oppor-
tunity to improve their condition in
life.
1t was a most powerful arraignmobt
of the Republican party, and an able
defense Of the Democratic party. The
forecast for the triumph of Democratic
principles and the future glory and
greatness OF North Carolina was truly
inspiring; and the frequent and long
applause throughout the address evil
denced the enthusiastic spirit In which
1t was received.
Halifax county will do her full duty
in electing r. B. eileen for the next
Governor of North Carolina.

1t will be we'll for some of our
energetic land men to visit Devils
Lake during the big land rush
and distribute circulars. telling
the number of acres OF land left
in the western part Of the state
which can be secured for the filing
fee Of $14. Compare the small
price with the price one must pay
for the Devils Lake land, $3.50
per acre. There will undoubtedly
thousands who never will secure
land at Devils Lake who would
be only too glad to come to the
western part Of the state. The
impression has gone out that all
the good land has been filed on,
whereas there are ? 900, 900 acres
left, some Of which is excellent
land.

uncomfortable ScnOOl-nOuSeS.
Miss Eleanor Stuart, after teaching
the public school at Wahalak ,or one
week, resigned, giving as a reason the
uncomfor, able condition of the school
building.
There appears to be considerable dif-
iculty in retaining the services OF a
teacher at quite a number of schools in
this county, and ia almost every in
stance the reason assigned for the re-
signation OF the teacher is the same
the uncomfortable condition of the
school building. This is not as it
should be.
School trustees should zee to il that a
warm, .well-lighted room is provided
for the teacher aud the little ones en-
trusted to his or her care. A child can
not be expected to absorb much knowl-
edge when cold hands and feet are con-
stantly demanding its attention, and
the beet efforts OF a teacher are not apt
to be exerted nnder like conditions.
See to it that your school building is
made comfortable, and then the teacher
