missed by the Court Of Appeals. The
suit was for damages aud the rail-

case to the United States Court The
motion was denied and It was con-
tended by the railway attorneys
that the order everything the mo-

Schools to Sc. Placed on Cash Basis.

The teachers of the county will be
pleased to learn that an arrangement
is being effected whereby their salaries
will be paid in cash, instead of in war
rants that must be sold at considera-
BILE discount. While in Columbia few
days ago, the editor of The Advertiser
was informed by Senator Thos. 81.
Rainslord that he had introduced bill
authorizing the borrowing of the neces-
sary amount from the sinking fund.
The three mill school tax, poll tax, dog
tax and the other taxes for school pur-
poses, will be pledged to secure the
loan. By this means Senator Rains
ford estimates that something like
s13, 500 can be borrowed annually at a
very low rate of interest. 1t is hoped
that nothing will occur to prevent SEN
ator Rainsford from carrying out this
plan, as the teachers,,> who are poorly
paid at best should not longer be forced
to sell their school ctscks at dis
count. ( 49,.

Another Contest.

For some months The Advertiser S
subscription list has shown very sub
stantial growth, but it is our desire to
have the paper make its weekly visits
to.every home in the county. To that
end we have inaugurated a subscrip-
ton or voting contest, detailed state
ment of which has already been an
nounced.. We have engaged a thorough
ly reliable gentleman to manage tn.
contest, who will conduct it honestly
and fairly, showing ipartiality to no
one. Votes can not be bought, but are
issued only on bona fde subscriptions
either new subscribers or renewals by
old ones
In this, as in The Advertisers corn
contest, we are not actuated solely by
selfish or .mercenary motives. After
paying for the splendid piano which is
offered as prize, and after defraying
other expenses little if any actual
profit, will remain.
In the achievement of our lauda BILE
ambition, that of placing The Adverti-
ser.in every home in the county, may
we not count upon the cooperation of
our friends of every section? This CO.
operation can BE given by encouraging
the young ladies who have, entered the
/ contest SO enthusiastically.

The Corn Contest.

Because the Advertiser has not con-
tanned any statement recently concern
ing the corn contest, let it not be under
stood that there will be no contest held
this year. Realizing that the two con-
tests in the past have been of great
benefit to the agricultural interests OF
the county, and believing that the far
mers have appreciated the time and
money which we have expended in
their behalf, we not only feel encour-
aged to hold another contest this year,
but it is our purpose to give it even
more attention than heretofore. AS
the number of contestants have In
creased with each year we hope the
list of 1911 will pass the one hundred
mark, believing that the good accom-
plished is proportionate to the number
of.farmers who enter. Already some
have voluntarily handed in their names
for enrolment.

At the conclusion of the service

now called upon to perform the
most painful act in my ministerial
life." thereupon rendering his Tesig-
nation as pastor of the First Bap-
tist church in Columbia.

said, These changes come about in
the providence of God, and 1 trust
that you will accept it as such. AS l

it as easy for me to leave as posi-
ble."
The many tear-bedimmed eyes
manifested the feeling of the con,
gregation.
A committee was appointed to
take his rerignation under consider
alton and report to conference OF
the church on Wednesday evening.
DR.. Burts will preach his last ser
mon to the Baptist congregation on
Sunday morning next and in the

request to the .. of c., that they
make it their duty to see that he
was buried in uniform. AS one of
the chief features of the work of the
chaptey is to give pleasure to these
old soldiers, itEwas decided that his
desire for the uniform be gratifed.
Several other matters were discuss
ed, and at ian early date, the Rat
cliff Entertainers, of Richmond,

ces of the d. of g. Arrangements
were also made for the next histori-
cal meeting, which is always on

for the afternoon will be Belle

Saturday evening, the watch and
gold dollar, which were offered to
ones bearing the lucky. numbers,
were given to Misses Beatrice Work

will be offered on February 18th.
A new feature has been added to
the evenings enjoyment. The male

Thus showing that the $500 house
will cost that man more than his

of $5s.76
This brings him nearly Is years
from the time he commenced and it
is but natural to suppose that your
thriving city will continue to grow
and that property values will in
crease during that time, say, if only

may then be worth $3.50 and on that
supposition his home will stand his

Another great factor in the pros
perity ofCharlotte is her good roads
radiating all over Mecklenburg
county. In riding out in any way
from the city one can see beautiful
little poultry. dairy and truck farms
and every day these thrifty people
take load over these smooth, level
mccadam roads to market without
much wear to the wagon and no
strain to the horses. These good
roads have run up the price of land
all over the county because farm
is worth more when tits easytogo 10
market, and many of these farmers
own automobiles, as they can safely
go about in them. The hills are
cut down and the dirt piled in the
wales, thus making a level, even
place and the bridges are either
steel or reinforced concrete. Let
us all work together for good roads
in Edgefeld as this is the real road
to prosperity, and let us enlarge
the Building and Loan association
as the agency which furnished a
home here is perchance only sur
passed by that Power who gives a
mansion in the skies.
