And Try Electricity for Change

If you are not the man or woman
you ought to be; if you are back

if you never take a chance; If you

your nerves are unstrung and your
muscles feel weak, you can be cured,
but you'n not find your cure In drugs
alone. You need electricity properly
applied and that is the remedy that

the United States Department OF
Agriculture His subject was Pea
nut Growing the staple crop OF
Southwest Virginia.
The professor sounded a solemn
warning 10 the planters that they
must be up and doing il they expect
TO keep the lead in TINS crop. The
Gull States have this year planted
10000 scres in peanuts. and while
heretofore only limited crops have
Leen raised IN these localities for
aOg-feeoing. They are now CON-
peting for the general trade.
Europe annually uses IN the manu-
facture OF oil alone more than double
the quantity Of peanuts produced IN
this country. The supply for this
purpose comes from Africa. The
oil manufacture IS an immense IN
dustry. and there are not now raised
IN the South enough peanuts 70 Just

plant
Professor Beatte condemned the
plan pursued by many farmers IN
raising crops or peanuts on the same
field year after year. This he said.
tends 10 diminish the crop yield and
impoverishes the soil.
A field should be planted in pea
nuts only once IN two OF three years.
and then after other crop rotation.
Once in four years VIII DC better. he
declared. Continuing. Professor
Bcattie made some valuable Sugges-
lions as TO surface and underdrain-
ing gave formulas for the proper
fertilizers and emphasized the i'm
portance OF a careful selection OF
seed nuts.
The average yield OF peanuts N

TWOSCHOOLS,
Asks for Vote Of
Patrons,
Editor The Gazette:

Editor The Gazette:
The proposed graded school for
Bruton district seems 10 be a matter
of interest to the readers Of your
paper. You have taken notice OF
the matter several times and as there
seems to be a misunderstanding as
TO the facts, 1 venture 70 present
them, through your columns, as
near a complete and fair statement
OF the contentious of all parties as
my ability viii permit.
To make the position of the parties
clear it is necessary TO make bret
statement OF the condition of the
Bruton district schools during past
year.
That part of Bruton district affect
ed. had during the year five schools
situated as follows: Lightfoot. Ewell,
Oakree. Portobello and Biglers.
Three of these schools. Ewell. Oak
tree and Portobello. were maintained
contrary to law, for the reason that
they did not have the average daily
attendance required by law. OF the
other two schools Lightfoot had an
average attendance Of II and Biglers
OF %.
Off all children attending school
in the portion Of the district in con
troversy. the Biglers school had
about 80 per cent. Also several of
the children attending the OakTee
school should have attended the
Biglers school.
The question that naturally arises
from this condition is: Why was
there not better attendance al the
other schools7 There are only one
- or two reasons that can be properly
given. Lack of children or remote
ness from location. The Statement
that the teacher was not liked /:
frivolous and childish and no reason
It seems to follow that the schools
were poorly located as regards Popu
lanon.
I desire to say here that tn..-e ar
in Bruton district a large number
perhaps a majority, who on accoun
of the shape of the district favor tw'
three room schools in preference Il
a central school. The district 81
perintendent however. am inform
ed, refuses TO consider this propo
siuon. There are also in the distric
people who disagree as TO the loca
ton of a central school, each I be
lieve having honest convictions tha
they are right. but like all conuover
sizes Of this kind the argument get
rather personal and somewhat luri
at tunes. Will Try and state tn
position taken by the different pal
ties as near as practicable.
1st. Those favoring the locatio
at the head of Walters Lane maiI
tain that this point is nearly centri
geographically. and on account
the roads centering at that point
convenient TO all portions of the di
trict.
The opponents of this site in T
ply say: The site proposed IS r
mote from white homes except on
That il is near large negro settl
ment where the negroes own the
own homes. That it is so locate
that majority of the children
the district would require trasport
ton. That the transportation wou
have to be furnished by the indivil
uals as the district has not suffice
funds, They further maintain ID
