No Longer a Terminal.

One curious result of the increased
speed in the transatlantic passage is
the proposed elimination of London as
a terminal. Liverpool has already been
sacrificed, but no sooner has the Fish

The Bessemer city court will take up
the work of the fall term on Monday next
with Judge William Jackson on the bench.
The first week will be occupied with the
jury civil docket. The sheriff's office has
been very busy during the past few weeks
preparing for the court and has every
thing in readiness. There has been
considerable change in the building since
the spring term and the appearance of
Rebie hall is vastly different. The entire
interior of the building has been reno
waited, oiled, painted, papered, the chairs
have been vanished, and everything pos
sible has been done for the convenience
and comfort of the officials having Of

WOODBURY.
GRANGE OUT
FOR ROADS

The last meeting of Woodburn
grange which was held in November
adopted the following resolutions on
the matter of good roads, as there
appears to be a want of correct ap-
precautions of what is required to OBJ
tain the best roads possible where
needed and most beneficial to the
people.
Whereas, There is now no law in
force to enable any county court that
is willing to serve the best interests
of all the people to levy sufficient
tax to pay for all the god roads, the
residents of any community can hon
estly and economically build each
year; therefore, be it
Resolved, BY the Woodlawn
grange that we earnestly call upon
our county court to make a sufficient
levy under the Carnahan law Gas
some county courts have done) to be-
gin the good roads improvement at
once and continue from each ship
ping point equally in the county.

infenced, muddy, barren school
grounds in the county.
"Second-It is true that beautiful
buildings, equipped with necessary
apparatus, a library and few franz
ed pictures on the walls exert quite
as much influence for right thinking
and doing as does much of the work
required by the course of study.
Third-Increase the usefulness of
the school by securing teachers with
some special training for the import
ant task of forming the minds un-
der their charge. In order to secure
trained teachers, especially for coun-
try schools, better salaries must be
paid, therefore we recommend that
sufficient funds be raised in each
district, so that the board may Sc
cure the services of a teacher, who
has some special training for her
work.
"Fourth-Increase the usefulness
of the country school by consolidating
weak schools and transporting chill
dren where the conditions are favor
able. There are one hundred and
nine (109) country schools in Ma
rion County. Many of these are
weak schools. poorly equipped, taught
by a $40 teacher. We earnestly re-
commend that whenever practical
these weak schools be united into
one large school.
"Fifth-We recommend that the
county fund law be enacted by the
electors at the general election in
November, 1910 and make possible
the distinctly country high school
These high schools will make it pos
sible for the boy and girl in the
country to obtain a high school edu-
cation, and still remain under home
influences and help with home duties.
''SiXth-Resolved that the present
school laws be amended to provide
for two days meeting of the direc-
tors convention allowing the neces-
sary travelling expenses for all the
directors and clerks"

FOR The

increase the usefulness of the pub

and the standard of the grade of tu-

objects and the subjects under the
discussion and consideration of the
county school officers convention,
which was held in this city last Sat
urday, as is evidenced by the follow
ing set of resolutions which was un-
animously adopted during the ses-
sion:
whereas: We sincerely appreciate
the Importance of the movement to
improve the public schools of Marion
County, therefore
Be it resolved, that we, the Marion
county school officers assembled in
this second annual convention, in the
interests of the public schools of Ma
rion county recommend that a united
effort be made all over Marion county
by the school officers, teachers and
patrons of each district to increase
the usefulness of the schools along
one or more of the following lines:
"First-Increase the usefulness of
the school as a spiritualizing force
in the lives of the boys and girls, by
placing choice works of art on the
walls of every school room in the
county not already provided. BY

TO MAKE THE
BEST REMEDY
Fine Home Prescription to
Relieve Rheumatism and
Kidney Troubles

The following prescription for the
cure OF rheumatism and kidney and
bladder troubles has no doubt been
filled millions of times, viz: Fluid
Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce;
Compound Kargon. one ounce; Com
pound Syrup Sarsaparllla, three
ounces. These simple, harmless in
gradients can be obtained at any good
prescription pharmacy at little cost
and are mixed by shaking well in a
bottle.
The dose for adults is a teaspoon
full after each meal and at bedtime,
drinking a full tumblerful Of water
after each dose. It is stated that this
prescription is a positive remedy for
kidney trouble and lame back, weak
bladder and urinary difficulties, espe-
cially Of the elderly people, and one
of the best things to be used in rheu-
matte Affections, relieving the aches
and pains and reducing swellings.
A well-known authority states that
this mixture acts directly upon the
eliminative tissues of the kidneys;
cleanses these spongelke organs and
gives them power to sift and strain the
poisonous waste matter and uric acid
from the blood which is the cause OF
rheumatism.
II your back or sides ache and you
suspect kidney trouble it would be
wise to try this for a few days.

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL
DOVER. Del. Feb. 9-Rcv. John M.
Arters, superintendent of the Anti
Saloon League of this peninsula, and
who is regarded as the leader of the
anti-license and local option move
ments in the present Legislature, made
his first appearance before a Dover
audience last night and explained all
the local option legislation now about
to be taken up or already being con-
sidered before the Delaware Legisla-
ture-two bills affecting wet terri
tory and three affecting the "dry"
counties.
The latter, he explained, were the
search and seizure bill. which made it
possible, on affidavit of reputable citi-
zens, to search house or building
and seize liquors, if any there were,
which were being used to violate the
law
The second was the anti-shlpping
law. which will be introduced in the
Legislature on Wednesday, and which
provides that no goods can be ship
ped into dry" territory in sufficient
quantities that they can be used to
violate the law.
ready been introduced by Senator An
derson in the Senate, is the law defin-
ing how and under what conditions
druggist shall sell liquor.
I'VE think" added Mr.. Arters in ex-
planning the bill. that no honest ply
stefan and no druggist can complain
at the restrictions put upon him in this
bill; and If any dishonest or dissembl-
ing physician, and any druggist who
is not honest, wants to object, why
he's the man we're after, anyhow.
William II. Anderson, the well-known
Maryland superintendent of the Anti
Saloon League, explained the work Of
the League throughout the United
States where he declared there were
now 100 district superintendent hold
ing positions and doing work like that
of Mr. Arters, and nearly 200 district
speakers, at work at least once every
