The extraordinary popularity Of fine

choice of Starch a matter of great I'M

from all injurious chemicals, is the

makes half the usual quantity of Starch
necessary, with the result Of perfect
finish, equal to that when the goods

Martina Revenge.

A correspondent tells the story Of
two house martins nests built against
an attic window of farm, to which
the birds came for several successive
years. Last spring. however. before
taey arrived, a sparrow took up her
abode in one Of the nests.
Shortly after the martins returned
as usual, and one day the farm people
noticed that the hole of the nest
which the sparrow occupied had been
blocked up. Next morning q boy
climbed UP to ascertain the meaning
Of this, and not finding any outlet
broke away part Of the nest, to find
the poor little sparrow dead on her
eggs.
ihe house martins had walled her
up for daring to take possession Of
their heuse.-Country Life.

OLD CITIZEN DEAD
Eli H. Davis Passes Away
Suddenly
County Commissioners Order Mad

the Hospital.

Wilmington, n. c., Sept. 13.-Mr.
Eli H. Davis. a native of OnslOW
ty, but for forty years Il resident Of
Wilmington, and one of it's respected
citizens, died yesterday at his country
home, Pin View" about three miles
from the city, aged Ct years. Mr..
Davis became violently i'll Wednesday
afternoon, although he was in is usu-
al health up to that time, and despite
all that could be done for him, passed
away the following day. He was a
son OF the late Aaron Davis, a well
known minister in Onslow county be-
fore the war, and married in this city,
his wife and our children surviving
him. The children are Mr.. James A.
Davis, of Wilmington; Miss Mamie
Davis and Mrs. ]. E. Emmett. OF this
city, and Mrs. C. E. Schachner, of
Monroe, and Mr.. E.. c. Davis. of Tam
pa, Florida. The funeral will be held
upon the arrival of the son from
Florida.
The county commissioners yesterday
passed an order requiring all dogs in
the country townships affected with
rabies to be killed upon order of the
superintendent of health, the sheriff
to be the executioner. One case of
rabies in a COW was reported last
month. The animal was killed. While
there is no alarm over the situation,
rabies has been common, hence the

TWO APPRECIATED GIFTS.
Noble Generosity Of General Julian {
Carr.

Chapel Hill. \. c.. Sept. 13.-The
M~ethodists Of Chapel Hill have re
Gently closed a deal with Mr.. Junius
Harris. of Durham, y. c., son Of the
late Rev. j. T.. Harris, of the North
Carolina Conference, whereby they
came into possession of the Carr
homestead property, one of the most
desirable pieces Of real estate in
Chapel Hill. and Is to be used as a
parsonage by the pastors Of the Meth
odist church here. The deal was un-
der discussion when General Carr
quickly and generously came to the
rescue with a donation Of five hun
dred dollars, to be paid in installments
Of one hundred dollars annually for
five years. This generous gift is be-
You'd expression, but this is not by any
means the only reason they have for
being grateful to General Carr, for he
has recently placed a splendid memo
rial window for his father INC mother
in the Methodist church at this place.
It Is indeed one OF the handsomest
pieces of art to be seen anywhere. the
subject being Roaz and Ruth cleaning
in the field, SO typical Of the life Of
the late Mr.. and Mrs. Carr in this
community.
This noble generosity of General
Carr is only characteristic of the great
and good man who has done so much
for the Methodist church in North
Carolina, and not only for this denom-
nation, for he has given with a Law
ish hand to many noble Causes, and
nowher is it seen more than on the
campus of the University of North
Carolina.

KEEP IT STRAIGHT
History of Establishment
of Public High Schools
Cary Was First. Established April
3rd and Opened Sept. 3-PIcas-
ant Garden Established in
June and Opened Sept. 4.

In a story in last Tuesdays News
and Observer concerning the splendid
opening of Cary Public High School,
a statement was made thai seems,
according to this papers excellent
Greensboro correspondent, to lave
caused superintendent Thomas r.
Foust, of the Guilford county public
schools, TO become Somewhat crest
fallen" The statement was that
Cary was the first public high school
to be blished in North Carolina
under the new law
I'm trying to keep history straight"
Superintendent Foust calls attention
to the fact that the County Board Of
Education, away back in June, estab-
lished two public county high schools
in Guilford, and that on Wednesday,
September fourth. one of them was
opened at Pleasant Garden. 1t IS
also stated that the Pleasant Garden
Free High school began with so en-
rolled students, instead OF 20 at Cary
The statement in this paper last
Tuesday was made upon information
obtained from the office of
the state superintendent. But just
ITO keep history straight a reporter
called at the office OF the county sup
erintendent of Wake yesterday after
noon TO see what the records of the
County Board OF Education would
show. He found that the Cary High
school property was purchased and
taken over by the board as a public
high school at the regular meeting Of
the board last April third.
Now. as to enrolment on the first
day of the term. Prof. Aiiddleton's
report to the State superintendent was
that 100 pupils were enrolled and
that 20 of these We're boarding pupils.
The principal Of the. Pleasant Gar
den High School makes a splendid
showing. and this was one OF the first
high schools established in the State
under the new law. the report shows
that 80 pupils We're enrolled at the
opening and that u Of these We're
boarding pupils. Forty are in
the high school classes exclusively.
This is a fine school with an excellent
faculty and it has the brightest pros
Iects for q successful career
But let US keep history straight"

CAN'T CUSS IN PUBLIC
But There's Lot of CuSSing in Private
Because the Pledge Was Not
Kept.
(John Smith in Apex JournaI.)

(John Smith in Apex JournaI)
You know that our Wake county
members pledged themselves to
change our county officers from the
fee system to salaries and failed to
keep their pledges. Knowing as they
did that a lot of people would be mad
about this, In order to protect them
selves, they passed d law making it a
misdemeanor to cuss in public. AS
yOu know, Mr.. Editor, his failure to
keep their pledges did raise the Irish
of the people, church and
all, but they had to go out by them
selves and do their cussing. and so
you see there has been no backslid-
ing on that, as nobody has heard 'em
cuss. but there's been cussing and a
lot of it an thereIl be something else
doing when the next election comes.
