ne-Scho0l' Districts.

For several years l have urged
the forming of "one- school, dis
tricts and the levy of a special
school tax. To my previous reasons
for advising this is added a recent
and strong one, viz: The policy Of
the Legislature to give aid only to
those weak schools that levy a
special tax, and the regulation by
the State board of education allow
ing aid to only one school in a dis
trict. l believe this plan will be
permanent, and sincerely hope that
our patrons in the large school dis
tricts will take steps at once looking
towards one school district and the
voting of special tax. The plan is
simple: Outline in petition to the
county board of education the terri
tory desired in the new district(which
should contain from Is to 20 square
miles,, having it signed by one-third
or more of the electors and free
holders in said territory, and unless
there are special reasons against the
forming of such a district the pc
tition will be granted. To such dis
tricts the State aid will be as much
as they raise by special taxation,
but not to exceed $4,000.
will be glad to attend any meet
ings called for the purpose of con-
sidering changes along this line.

10 Tobacco Farmers.

oCuioSoSuC niio III oSSiAS w Ai~SSNA
tobacco farmers with false hopes
from impractical schemes. We do
hope, however, to see the time when
the Tobacco Trust will be brought
under control and some method
established by means of which the
farmer may be in a position to de-
mand what his tobacco is worth.
Some relief may come from the ex-
pected decision of the Supreme
Court; but that is too uncertain
for US to hang our hopes on it at
this time. The one hope of sue
cess lies in the fact that the
farmers in our tobacco-growing
territory need not depend upon
tobacco for a crop nor upon the
the Tobacco Trust for their money.
If the white man had never learn
ed to smoke the red mans tobacco
or chew the leaves, the tobacco
growing region of Virginia and
the Carolinas, Kentucky and Tennes-
see, would nevertheless be to-day
a prosperous agricultural section.
We believe the chances are
that these tobacco-growing districts
would be more prosperous than
they are to-day. They would have
won this prosperity by growing
corn, hay and stock, and other pro-
ducts for which they are naturally
adapted.
Now our point is, that this terri
tory can start growing these crops
now just as we'll as they could
have started with them in the be-
ginning if tobacco had never been
kthought of. And in addition to
these crops they can grow tobacco,
which addition is a decided ad-
vantage.
We do not advise our farmers to
quit tobacco. Let every acre stay
in tobacco where that crop will pay
better than any other crop. There
are thousands and tens of thousands
of acres in Virginia and adjoining
States, however, of which this is
not true, and it is these acres that
ought to be planted in corn or other
grain crops or put to growing hay,
pasture or livestock. Most of
our tobacco-growing section has
better advantages for raising live
stock than the West and most of
this tobacco territory has ad-
vantages over the rest of the
South in that it is free from cattle
quarantine.
The thing to do is to put every
acre of land to corn, grass or pas
ture that will pay as we'll in these
crops as in tobacco. The high
price of meat offers a brilliant op-
portunity for tobacco farmers, and
as they begin to grow stock and
grain, prices for tobacco must 60
up at the same time because of the
shortened production.
And you can apply this method d
this year without waiting for any,
body to bust the trust.-Rale'gh

ceded by the ushers, DR. Alva Weaver
and Mr. S L Courtney entered as fol-
lows: Mr. ] Lenwood Richardson with

t. of her brother, Mr. T Lide
Carl,., then entered and was met at
the altar by the groom and his best
man, DR. Clarence David Rollins.
The words which made them one
were very impressively spoken by the
Rev H F Jones, brother of the
groom.
The bride wore lovely grey cos
tune and carried brides roses. The
bridesmaids were daintily gowned in
white lingerie dresses, with black
picture hats, and carried white car
nations. The groomsmen wore full
evening dress. The decorations of
the church were in white and gold
with background of ferns. The
bride is the youngest daughter Of
Mrs Della D Carter, of this place,
and is a graduate of the Memorial
Hospital Training school of Rich
mond, Va. The groom, who is the
son of Mr. J P Jones, of Mecklenburg
county, Va, is demonstrator of anat-
omy at the Medical College, Rich
mond, Va. The many presents re-
ceived attested the wide popularity
of this young couple.
Immediately after the ceremony
DR. and Mrs Jones, with good wishes
from q host of friends and amid a
shower of rice, left for an extended
Southern tour. They will be at home
after April Is at No. 6 East Grace
