MEET

The teachers CT Henderson county.
about sixty in number, met last Satur-
day In regular monthly session, at the
Icourt house auditorium.
Several short talks were made by
teachers, The principal feature OF
the program was an address on the
"Reading Course" by superintendent
lD.L Ellis, of Ramseur graded school
who discussed the several books pre-
scribed by the State for reading and
study. laying stress upon certain fea-
lures of the books.
Nearly all the teachers have bought
the books required to be read, and are
making vigorous preparation for the
examination on them in October.
A club of 26 teac1ers, subscribers to
the North Carolina Educational jour
nal was formed.
The Woman's Betterment Associa-
ton work, this year, is under the di-
rection of Miss Lille Hight, an en-
thusiastic teacher of Flat Rock Grad
ed school. and she proposes to push
the work vigorously. b teachers
are very eager to do their duty in this
important matter.
The district and township organiza-
ton of the teachers is "a distinct adj
vance in Association work in Hender-
son county. Each township will have
its own Association, with monthly
meetings at some central school.
where the work of all the schools in
that township will be in evidence,
each teacher contributing her part of
the make up of each program. Hence
these township meetings will prove a
perfect educational Forum for the
people.
superintendent, Shitle is out among
the schools all the. time now, and re-
ports the most hopeful session ever
begun in the county.

Dr.. wiley WIN Not Be dismissed

Washington, dispatch: The Taft adj
ministration will not now dare to car
ry out the plot to drive DR.. Harvey
w. Wiley from the government SER
vice.
This thought must have suggested
itself time and again to the minds of
the men and women who crowded the
Moss investigating committee rooms
and heard DR.. Wiley lay bare the
startling facts of a systemized fight
against him because he insisted that
food manufacturers keep their pro-
ducts pure.
At times, as DR.. Wiley told of the
fierce persecution he had endured, his
voice almost broke, and he could pro-
coed only with difficulty. At times
also the committe members, utterly
dumfounded by the doctors state
ments, ere at a loss as to what
questions to ask him next.
Not only was it shown that Doctor
Wiley's efforts to serve the public
and protect it from Injurious and
poisonous substances in food prepa-
rations had been absolutely blocked
by the conspirators in the adminis-
tration headed by Secretary IF Agri-
culture Wilson and his controlling in
~fiuence, Solicitor McCabe, but that
the latest effort to force Doctor Wiley
out of Office vas based upon a letter
which he never received and knew
nothing about.
Not boastfully or eagerly, but in
response to questions by members of
the committee, Doctor Wiley recited
re universities at which he had
studied, the great scientific societies
81 home and abroad which have hon.
o-ed him in various ways, and the re-
cital went a long way in revealing to
the committee the great public spirit
and sympathy of this man who pos
sessed a courage in public duty which
neither threats from official sources
or opposition by the powers Of evil
lad been able to break down.
While the whole hearing was a sue
cession Of revelations that left the
committee and Spectators thunder
truck. the most astonishing testi-
mony came when DR.. Wiley told of
his efforts to prevent the use of alum
and sulphur dioxide in food products

ley. Especially in baking powder, is

it's use a serious danger to public
health, and wanted it stopped pending
an investigation. But the other two
members Of the referee board over
ruld me, as they invariably did, and the
use of alum is still permitted.
Another case involved the use of
sulpur dioxide. Dunlap and McCabe
recommended that we discontinue the
rule requiring that the presence of
this drug be indicated on the label.
AS the rule had been adopted after a
most exhaustive investigation I was
convinced that to do away with it
would be grave mistake. Dunlap
and McCabe revoked the rule, how
ever, during my absence, and when l
returned / wrote a letter to Secre-
tary Wilson, asking for a hearing. But
Secretary Wilson did not even reply
to my letter"

TO STAY OPEN

Al pleasing bit Of information TO the
effect that the hotel Gates will remain
Eopen the entire winter has just come
to our knowledge. This will be graf
flying news to all who have noted the
remarkable success this popular hotel
has attained under such efficient mani
agement this summer.

some of the leading tourist booking
agencies OF New York for the. accom-
modation OF winter tourists have
been satisfactorily negotiated-seYeral
rooms having already been reserved
for. few months of the winter season,
From a conversation with Mr.. Gates
it appears that the coming winter will
see quite a number of people spending
the winter months here, far more than
ever before in the history of the city.
1t seems that the fame of the city as
a resort for the entire year Is becom-
ing known far and wide and travellers
from the extreme northern section of
the country have written to engage
rooms.
Improvements of a most substantial
nature are to be made on both the in
terror and exterior of the Gates hotel
just as soon as the present season is
Mr.. and Mrs. Gates expect to
make this their winter home and will
care for their guests in their usual
and charming manner.

TAFT'S TARIFF YETOES.
He Deeply DisappOints Those Who
Hoped for Tariff Reform

President Taft signed the Payne
Aldrich tariff bill, which broke his
paTty's promise, both tothe ear and
70 the hope of the country. The re-
vision cured none of the abuses, re-
moved none of the burdeas of the
tariff. Later in the Wi1ona speech,
Mr.. Taft spoke of the tariff law in
terms of high and almost unqualified
praise. Yet in his public utterances

respect to the work of the Tariff
Board he has appeared as the advo-
ducticn of duties. He seemed to

What will the people think Of these

is hopeless, Few of them will read

not to be blinked or lodged, is that
this Republican President, protesting
a desire and a purpose to get the tariff
reduced, nevertheless balks Congress

vetoes.
The veto of these two tariff bills,
particularly of the wool bill, has made
the reelection of Mr.. Taft extremely
improbable.

Our esteemed friend, Colonel Harris
of The Charlotte Chronicle, is of the
opinion that the dry weather is killing

showing decay. A farmer near this
city. seeing what The Chronicle says,
thinks the article is incorrect. 1t is
his opinion that these decaying limbs
are caused by the ~depredations of the
locusts which visited the country in
the spring and not to the dry weather
at all. He says while the limbs have
a dead appearance. the leaves falling

Look at your shoes. Your skirt
may not be cut off at your boot tops

Have your ankles trim. Wear but
toned boots and set the buttons over
until they absolutely pinch your ankles.
Don't wear shabby shoes. Your
feet simply must look nice.
Wear thin stockings, the gauzier
the better; under them wear flesh col
ored silk hose.

feet win show all the time. because
your skirt sinks in. So learn to toe
