Smallpox i'm Iredell County.

Just few words from a subscriber
to The Landmark in regard to the
smallpox situation up here in north
Iredell. While the information ap-
pears not to reach The Landmark,
the disease seems to still Turk in the
community. In addition to the two
families first reported in The Land
mark as having the disease, the fam
lily of Mr.. Early Wooten has had 1t
and is just recovering from it; and
the whole family of Mr.. Ally Rene
gar, consisting of himself, wife and
two children, now has the disease,
and appear to be suffering a great
deal worse than those who first had
it, indicating that the disease is get
ting more severe as it spreads, though

THAT EDUCATIONAL THANKS
GIVING EDITION.

The Democratic organ here At the
State capital Is not only noted for Its
unreliability In the publication OF
news, and also for its cowardly abuse
and Misrepresentation OF every one
that does not take orders from that
sheet, but It Is also noted for its
monumental cheek. That paper has
probabiy never exhibited a greater
piece of gall and cheek than in get
ting out on Thanksgiving Day what
It called an Educational Thanksgiving
Edition,
II there is any one thing In North
Carolina that the children who attend
public schools and their parents can
not be thankful fer, 1t Is the Demo-
cratic management of the public
school system. There are number
of things for which our people are
duly thankful. The Raleigh organ.
however, attempts to make the peo-
ple believe that the one thing for
which they ought to be thankful Is
for a very fine public school system.
In this connection, 1t Is noticeable
that the Greensboro Daily News,
which pretends to pose as an indie
pendent Republican paper, approves
of the conduct of the News and OBJ
server, as shown by the following
EDITORIAL:
"The News and Observer is
sued a comprehensive and valu-
able educational Thanksgiving
edition yesterday"
Any paper that is a real friend of
the public schools Of the State would
have either kept silent about this ed
vocational Thanksgiving edition Of the
News and Observer, or else 1t would
have taken this occasion to have
stated the facts about the misman-
agement of the public schools by the
Democratic machine. The above, how
ever, is one of the explanations as to
why the Raleigh News and Observer
no longer refers to the Greensboro
Daily News as the Subsidized news. "

A WORD WITH OUR READERS.

Every mail brings US many letters
expressing the highest praise and ap-
probation for this paper. They all
say that The Caucasian Is better now
than ever before. Many of them de-
clare that The Caucasian is the best
paper in the State. Our readers all
express wish and a desire that ev-
erybody could read this paper each
week.
We appreciate these expressions
greatly, but If our readers will par
don US, there is just one way In which
they can help US accomplish a hun
dred per cent more good. 1t is this:
Let every subscriber lend this issue
Of the paper, after he has read 1t, to
one OF his neighbors who is not a
subscriber. After your neighbor has
read it. see If he agrees with you
about the paper and what 1t Is doing
for truth and good government. II
he does, then send in his subscription
to US before the next issue, If posi-
Bile.
Some Of our readers have sent us
clubs of five and ten. But every read
er ought to try and send us at least
one subscription. Do this, and then
we can speak to twice as many peo-
pie every week.

PROFESSOR COON ON OUR PUB
LILO SCHOOL SYSTEM.

Prof. Chas. L. Coon, President OF
the North Carolina Teachers Assem-
bly,, delivered his annual address be-
fore the Assembly in Raleigh last
Thursday night and stated some facts
that were not relished by the Demo-
cratic politicians who are now man
ipulating the public school affairs in
North Carolina. Professor Coon is
superintendent of the graded schools
In Wilson, and was an assistant in
Superintendent Joyner's Office for q
few years, and should be we'll &C
quainted with the affairs of the pub
lice schools in this State.
Professor Coon stated that our
public school system was a patch
work and that the County Boards of
Education, County Superintendent
and teachers were often selected by
politicians regardless of their fitness
for such responsible positions. He
proceeded to show how the common
schools are neglected and how the
last Legislature while appropriating
the peoples money, failed to provide
funds for the education of the young
children of the State.
He thinks it wrong to establish
high schools, when elementary
schools are run only ninety days in
the year, and that many of the high
schools are at present little more
than poor elementary schools.
The speaker said his self-respect
forced him to resent the fact that
the teaching profession had turned
over the making OF an educational
policy to the politicians, doctors, law
yers, and editors.
He said the Textbook Commission
that selected the books to be used in
the public schools should be com.
posed OF persons Thoroughly familiar
with the school work.
It is noted fact that the Text
Book Commission that has just Sc
lected the textbooks to be used FOL
the next five years was not composed
Of single school teacher.
Professor Coon said you would no
hire a blacksmith to teach, neither
would you get teacher to look aftel
legal business.

The Western Carolina Enterprise,
IN a leading editorial reviewing the
life and work OF the late Joseph
Pearson Cald we'll. says:
Being surrounded as he was
with the bitter prejudices or civil
strife ard the poison OF recon-
struction. Joseph p. Caldwell's
great soul was too splendid to
permit him TO be a narrow par
tisan. While others sought TO
keep alive sectional hatred and
prolongue the effects OF the
curse upon our State. this man
stood almost alone fighting the
battles of the present and pre-
pairing his people for the prob
lens OF the future His virtues
were many, but this is the best
index to his character, the best
evidence OF his greatness, and
this will be the finest monu-
ment to his memory"
The editor of the Enterprise en-
phasizes the very point made by The
Caucasian last week, that among the
many services which Mr.. Caldwell
rendered his State and his country
the most conspicuous and valued one
was his bold and courageous fight to
break down the barriers of partisan
and sectional prejudice, and to
strive for intellectual freedom and
independence of thought and action.
The Caucasian, in it's last issue,
discussing this great service render
ed the State and the South by Mr..
Caldwell, said that he was the one
man above all others who did most
to perform this great service for the
South, when there was the greatest
need for such service to be perform
ed and when there were so few with
the courage and wisdom to do it.

FEARING HUsBAND WOULD KID
NAP CHILD, SHE IAkEs SECRET
PAssAeEsTo EG,RorE.

New York. July n. I'll has become
known that Mrs. SidDtS 6. Love, for
merly the beautiful Ma dFie Burns of
Chicago, sailed secretly to EUROPE with
her little daughter when she learned
that Love was on his way to New
York. s9s
Fear that an attempt might ha made
to kidnap the child Is said slQ have;
caused Mrs. Love to leave iucOSnitol
for Europe in advance of her husbands
expected arrival from Baker, Orc.
where his suit for divorce is pending.
Passage was hurriedly engaged and
Mrs, Love took the first outgoing
steamer. It was said she probably will
not return to the United States until
her right to absolute possession Of the
child had been decided by the courts.
It was even said she might begin new
divorce proceedings against Love in
England.
The whereabouts Of Love continued
to mystify his friends. From undeni-
able sources it was learned, however,
that Mrs. Love has decided to become
an exile pending the adjudication OF
her marital difficulties.
Mrs. Love recently underwent the
ordeal Of a long siege on the witness
stand in Baker, Ore, testifying in her
husbands suit. She denied charges
made by her husband that she smoked
cigarets and did other unconventional
things. She then went to Chicago,
where she remained in seclusion, COM
ing to New York several days ago.
She registered at the Hotel Belmont
with her daughter, and remained in
partial seclusion, refusing to see any
except her most intimate friends. In
the meantime the child was most Wig
ilantly guarded.
The report that Love was actually
in New York and that he had confer
red with lawyers relative to beginning
a fight for possession of the little girl
caused great surprise in this city. Love
was supposed to be in Baker awaiting
final settlement of his suit.
