stantly being asked for interpre-
tations of certain phases Of the
high school act and he has to-
day sent to the county superin
tendents of education the follow
ing letter covering these points:
Repeated inquiries are COM
ing to this office in regard to elec-
tions for high schools under the
act approved February 10, 1907.
Many districts wish to know
whether it is possible to vote adj
ditional districts into a high
school district, after it is formed.
The law simply provided for an
aggregation of districts. l think
that it is legal for other districts
to hold elections ard join in the
high school district, whenever
they wish to do so. The election
in the different districts need not
be held on the same day. These
adjacent districts are required to
provide schools for all children
through the 7th grade. The pu.
pills who have completed these
grades will be entitled to free
tuition in a high school which
received state aid. Trustees in
adioining districts may appro
pirate money properly prov ded
for the elementary grades. |
think it will be well to get as
mauy districts to join in high
school district as possible. The
Urge pupils can certainly get
better advantages ina high school
some distance away, than they
can in an elementary school with
one or two teachers TO them.

The Story of q Medicine.

Its name-"GOlden Medical Discovery
was suggested by one of its most import
ant and valuable ingredients - Golden
Seal root.
Noarly forty years ago, DIR. Pierce dis
covered that he could, by the use of pure,
triplercfined glycerine, aided by GER
tain degree OF constantly maintained
heat and with the aid -of apparatus and
appliances designed for that purpose. eX-
tract from our most valuable native me-
dicinal roots their curative properties
much better than by the use of alcohol
so generally employed. SO the now world
famed Golden Medical Discovery for
the cure Of weak stomach, Indigestion, or
dyspepsia, torpid liver, or biIiousnesS and
kindred arrangements was first made. as
IL ever since has been, without particle
of alcohol In its makeup.
A glance at the full list of its ingredi-
ents, printed on every bottle-wrapper,
will show that il Is made from the most
valuable medicinal roots found growing
In our American forests. All these in
gradients have received the strongest en-
dorsement from the leading medical ex-
perts, teachers and writers on Mdterid
Medtcd who recommend them as the very
best remedies for the diseases for which
"Golden Medical Discovery" Is advised.
A little book Of these endorsements has
been compiled by DR.. r. v. Pierce, OF
Buffalo, N. Y, and will be mailed free to
any one asking same by postal card, or
letter addressed TO the Doctor as above.
From these endorsements, copied from
standard medical books OF all the differ
ent schools OF practice, IL will be found
that the ingredients composing the Gold
en-, Medical Discovery" are advised not
only for the cure of the above mentioned
diseases, but also for the cure of all ca
tarrhal, bronchial and throat affections,
accompanied with catarrhal discharges,
hoarseness, sore throat, lingering, or
hangoon- coughs, and all those wasting
affections which, II not promptly and
properly treated are liable to termina to
In consumption. Take DIR. Pierce's Dis
until you give IL fair trial and 1t is not
likely to disappoint. Too much must not
be expected OF 1t. It will not perform
miracles. 1t will not cure consumption
In Its advanced stages. No medicine will.
1t Wftt cure the affections that lead up to
consumption, II taken IN ttmI.

or soy beans, if obtainable. If
planted in drills, the price of
seed should not prevent any one
planting this stubble land. Even
at So per bushel the seed will
not cost much per acre.
Keep lookout for potato bugs
on your Irish potatoes. Use
Bordeaux mixture and Paris
green according to the directions
given in the Bulletins. Use as
often as bugs appear on the po-
tatoes.
Be careful about giving the
work-stock too much green feed
If the work is not too hard a mo-
dera ate supply of green feed will
not hurt, and a half feed will be
beneficial. With dry forage
scarce, as it is this year, the ten
dency will be to use the new hay
and green feed too literally, es-
pecially with horses that have
driving or fast road work to do.
The driving horse should not be
given any green stuff within
twenty four hours Immediately
preceding a drive.

More About High Schools =
How They May be Estab-
l1Shed.

Columbia special in the Green
vile News: The movement for
high schools is the most stsignificant
ard prominent feature at this
time. This movement has been
accelerated by the passage of the
high school act by the legislature
intended 10 enable and encour-
age rural school districts and
small towns to secure high schools
by cooperative effort aided also
by the s'ate. Prot. w. H. Hand,
professor Of secondary education
in the University OF South Caro-
lima, is devoting himself largely
to this work, travelling all over
the state making addresses in
which he explains the system
and plan and he urges the neces-
sity of such effort. He finds that
the people, are ready to take hold
OF the idea and that there is a
general desire for this increased
educational efficiency. Mr.. Hand
has just returned from trip to-
day and in answer to a question
stated that he had heard OF only
one election under the new law
which had resulted in defeat
of the high school proposition.
This election was a tie, nine to
nine, and one elector under a
misapprehension for "bonds,"
showing that be doubtless favor
ed the proposition. 1t cannot
be ascertained at this time how
many elections have been car
ried for the establishment of the
high schools, as no report has
yet been made by some of the
districts to the state board of
education, but it is known that a
number of them have been so
carried. The act, it will be re-
called, carries $4,000 to assist
the districts which desire high
schools. Any county, township,
or any aggregation of adjoining
townships or any aggregation of
adjoining school districts or any
incorporated town or city of less
than one thousand inhabitants
may Sc cure the benefits of this
act by an election, levy of two
mills being made and the high
school being given from the $50,
600 appr opriation sum equiva-
lent to so per cent of the amount
raised by such levy.

June Farming.

both corn and cotton crops. Much |
of both has required replanting,
and in many instances the stand,
especially in cotton, is yet bad
ly broken, while much corn re.
mains implanted. The planting
of this belated corn should be
pushed with all rapidity possible.
While corn will often make fair
yields planted as late as the
last of the month, it is bet
ter now to get it in as soon as
possible. Thorough preparation
of the land, with the late plant
ings, is even more necessary
than for planting; therefore this
special feature should be looked
after very carefully to insure
maximum yields. Also, corn
planted late should be covered
deeper than corn planted earlier.
Do not overlc ok this fact, for it
is important.
But few peas have been plant
ed yet. June is the month in
which most people try to get
them in. On account of search
ty of seed, economy in this par
ticular should be exercised.
Wherever conditions will per-
NIT, plant in rows and cultivate.
For drilling either soy beans or
cowpeas, the common wheat drill
is a very satisfactory imple-
ment.
The sweet potato crop is an
other important crop to look af
ter this month. 1t is probable
that plants will be scarce. but
cutting from vines will make DO.
tatoes OF better keeping qualities
than slips will make. Do not
plow the land deep for sweet po
tatoes, unless you wish to grow
the long kind, nor make the
ridges large or high. Cultivate
often and use sweeps, such as
are used in cultivation of cotton
and tobacco.
Fertilizers pay as well under
potatoes as any crop we grow.
Sow literally a fertilizer analy-
zing about 3 per cent ammonia, s
cent phosphoric acid, and s per
ct. potash. The potash preferably
from sulphate of potash. This
can be had by taking an S-3-3
tobacco fertilizer and adding to
each 200 pound sack twenty
pounds sulphate of potash. Wood
ashes are also good for supply
ing potash ior potatoes.
Do not overlook the forage
crops. With hay selling at $2S
per ton, our farmers should make
every pound possible to supply
their home demands, and they
should also make some to sell.
German millet, one bushel per
acre on rich, we'll prepared land,
will make a large quantity of
hay. Sorghum, one bushel per
acre, or half bushel sorghum and
one bushel peas on fertile land
we'll prepared, will make an as
tonishing amount of feed. A
good fertilizer can be used to ad-

Extraordinary Duel That Was AZ

dHHcO UJ a GOSlo's
An extraordinary duel, which at the
time created an immense sensation,
was one In which the decision was ar
rived at not by swords or pistols but
by means of a deadly poison. The
men, who, 1t is hardly necessary to

Bees Invade Groceries.

The supply of honey is SO carce In
the fields of Warrick county that the
bees have invaded the grocery stores,
and screen doors have been put up
In order to keep them from covering
the sweet articles In the stores. Bees
are seen by the hundred trying to get
entrance TO the stores. The man.
ayers of the stores let the fires go
out in the evenings before they close
for the night, and the cooler air makes
them numb.
They are gathered up In pans In
the morning and put outside, where
they revive in the sunshine. Bee
growers say 1t was never known In
this part of the State when the sup
ply of honey and pollen was so short.
Blossoms have been killed by freez-
Ing weather. There are only a few
wild flowers.

But justice has followed with as
much swifness and severity as though
thousands of dollars had been stolen.
The chief offenders have been sem
