Every County Should Have a Hospital.

DR.. j. Howell Way, Of Waynesville,
ex-president OF the State Medical So
ciety and the State Board OF Medical
Examiners and recently appointed
by Gov. Kitchen to six year term
succeeding himself on the State
Board of Health, says that county
hospitals should be established and
that at no very distant day an en-
lightend public conscience will de-
mand that an amount be invested
for this purpose equal to the amount
now invested in court house and jail.
"With our present progres in social
SCIENCE" he says, "ffty years hence
the people will look backward with
amazing wonder that a county on
being organized proceeded first to
build a substantial structure to house
its malefactors-the county jail
while near by was also erected the
most substantial structure ia the
county-the county court house-in
which to try the said malefactors-
all at public expense, while the max
ing of provision for the sick and in
iured was left to individual effort or
to sweet charity"

Shipping Corn from This State.

4 dispatch from Rocky Mount last
week says that the railroad saw
something, while in no sense remark
able, denoted new epoch in ship
ments, when three express cars load
ed with spring corn for the Northern
markets were handled north from
Clinton. The corn is for table use
and, while there has in the past been
seen many dozen crates that have
been routed north, yesterdays three
car shipment was the largest that
has been handled. The North Caro-
lima "roast-nears" has long been q
favorite dish in these parts, but
from yesterdays shipment it appears
that folks in "Yankeeland" havegot-
ten on to the fact as well and that,
while there are many corn-raising
States in q closer radius of the
Northern markets than is North Car
olina, still the folks up that way
want the best and North Carolina
has been called upon to supply it.

Cow Turned the Water On.

They tell a good story on Rev. II.
NJ. Blair, editor OF the North Carroll
ma Christian Advocate, Greensboro:
For some time his water rent had
been enormously high and he had q
meter put in. And then he soon dis
covered that he would have to give
up water entirely or go bankrupt.
Finally one morning he found water
standing in puddles in his barn, and
this was repeated morning after
morning. Thinking some enemy
was "doing him dirt" in this way, he
sat up one night, gun in hand. Dur
ing the night bis cow, feeling the hot
weather, deliberately went to the
faucet in the barn, turned it on with
her nose, stepped back and lay
down, and soon the water was cool
ing her off.

In the office of the clerk of the Su-
perior Court of every county may be
found copies of our Colonial and
State Records, the four volumes of
the Roster OF North Carolina Troops
and five volumes of Clark's Regi-
mental Sketches, says the Raleigh
News and Observer. All these books
are OF much historical value, and
our Legislatures have ordered copies
to be deposited in the office of every
Superior Court Clerk, so that the
people of every county who cannot
buy such books may have the op-
portunity of reading them. In some
counties many of these valuable
books have been lost, and greater
care should hereafter be used for
their preservation than seems to
have been used heretofore.

This Is 1t.

The merchant who sends away q
dollar for supplies which can be
bought in his own town, who doesn't t
throw something in the way of home
industries, and who doesn't patron
ize the home architects, the home
contractors, the home plumbers, tie
home dealers in building supplies, the
home printers, etc, is contributing a
large share toward having a boot
owl town. They ought to be doing
business in Dead Mans Gulch for
what there's in it. If you've got a
dollar to spend for anything, put it
in the palm of a home man. Plank
down your dollar where it will come
back to you through the channels Of
business. and quit playing "heads
and tails" with yourself.-Wilming-

A Chatham County Snake Story.

Mr.. G. A. Mcdaniel of Rives Chapel
was here Saturday and he told US
that he killed q chicken snake last
week about five feet long that was
swollen out OF proportion. He in
vestigated and a gourd within that
his wife had used some time ago as a
nest egg and which had disappeared
with nest full of eggs. She had no
idea at the time what had become of
her eggs, but now the secret is ex-
planned. No doubt that old snake
was regular visitor to the nests on
Mr. McDaniel's farm, and now that
it is killed, the hens can pursue the
even tenor OF their way undistured,
conscious that their efforts will not
be fruitless and wasted upon a mere
snake.-Siler City Grit.

Makes the Town Grow.

1t is an almost absolute rule that
towns showing the fastest growth
and greatest development contain
merchants and business men who
are right up to the minute and who
prove their faith in advertising by
their generous use OF the newspapers.
Advertising is one of the greatest
factors in modern business. This is
no idle dream, but a demonstrated
fact. The merchants in our biggest
cities, whose names are known all
over the country, one and all have
testified that their success is largely
due to their faith in newspaper space.

So Can A Hog.

People are proverbially imprudent.
A man who ought to know better
said this morning that he had been
very i'll from eating few onions and
Strawberries. Pinned down he said he
had few cucumbers mixed with the
mess. A man once told DR.. Gregory
he ate cucumbers three times day
when he could get them. $50 does a
hog" replied the physician. How
ever, some men and more women can
eat all kinds OF trash and never get
sick. Greensboro Record.

The farmers of Fulton county, Ga,
are teaching monkeys to pick cotton.
If the experiment. succeeds colony
OF monkeys will be imported and put
to work in the cotton fields. The
idea was suggested by the antics OF
a pet chimpanzee carried by a far
mer boy into the field. The little
animal after frisking around for a
time and watching the negroes at
work, began OF it's own accord to
pick the cotton with almost incredi-
BILE rapidity. Animal trainers find
it very easy to teach monkeys to
perform any manual trick or labor.
By utilizing monkey labor the cost
of cotton harvesting would be inf
nitely less than with human labor.

Annual Institute WIN Open in abb
Iene june 5.

To the Teachers Of Dickinson county:
The Dickinson County Normal In
stitute will open Monday, June 8.
at the Abilene high school. The
month Of June has been chosen for
two reasons, first 1t Is usually cooler
and second, II gives the teachers
OF the county an opportunity to get
their positions early so that they
may devote some time to other things
II they choose.
More interest is being taken this
year than usual because of some
changes in the certification laws
made by the last Legislature. A
letter has been sent to all Of the
teachers OF the county explaining
briefly the intent Of the new law.
All teachers in the county should
become familiar with the provisions
Of the law SO that they will UNDER
stand the validity of the license they
hold.
The faculty is as good as the best
and is composed of men who have had
years Of experience and know the
needs Of the teachers. The county
superintendent will conduct and the
following instructors have been
chosen: Supt. w. A. Stacey, Abb
lene; j. P, Perrill, D. G. H. s.; Prin.
e. w. Kline Of the Waterloo, Iowa,
high school; and Miss Alice Gentry
of the Abilene high school. Miss
Gentry will teach part time only.
The course of study is at the SUI
perintendent's office and should be
secured at once.
Glasses will be organized for all
of the new requirements. III,
The county superintendent Will
assist in securing rooms and board
ing places for you If you fail to find
what you want. sl
Those having board and rooms for
the teachers at the institute should
leave the residence number, price
Of board and rooms and such other
particulars as are Of value with the
superintendent SO that he can help
those induiring as well as the citi-
zens Of Abilene who desire to take
roomers. After your rooms are tak-
en- the office should be notified.
Bring all the books that you
think you will need for reference
as you will have use for them.
