OPIUM

Opium poisoning may be known by
the contracted pupils of the victim,
and by the slow breathing. At first
the breathing is slow and full. but 1t
gradually grows slower and shallow
er. The pin point pupil is the most
Characteristic symptom.
Give emetics-a teaspoonful OF mus
tard In warm water or a tablespoonful
OF strip OF ipecac.
Remember that opium poisoning
may result not alone from the drug
in its original form, but from laud-
anum, morphine, paregoric and tie
various soothing sirups and cough
cures that depend upon opium for
their action.

When girl goes wrong mouth and prate
OF how she fell from her high estate"
OF womanly vrtue-and lightly sold
Her body and soul for a bit of gold
And the moralists lift their eyes and sigh
That she dropped SO low from place high.
And nine times Of ten that place
Was job that Slapped all her youth and grace,
That starved her body and warped her soul
And took her Joy OF life toll
A job scarce paying her board and
In shabby place in tenement,
That left her, when her week was done,
With never cent for decent fun;
A job that the devil have planned
To put temptation every hand
That shut her out from her rightful share
OF love and sunshine and Gods fresh air
Well. what is the high estate give
To girls who honestly try to live
In ways of virtue and paths good
Which we properly ask of womanhood"
We let them in their rectitude
And our cries of censure loud and long
When girl goes wrong.

oIA III All 4
Voted For Special Tax-One Poll
holder COuld Have Broken u EIec-
tion-Intcrcsting Letter From One
of Voters, Who Says Must Stop
Raising Republicans.
Last Week an election was held IN
Wake County, which has the distinc-
ton Of being the only election held
in the county where all the voters
were officers Of election.
The election took place in district
-four Of Cedar Fork township mo was
held for special school tax. There
We're only three voters and all three
voted for the tax. These voters held
respective offices Of election and
therein comes the novelty of the
thing. one Of the voters, Mr.. J. r.
High, was registrar and the other two
were pollholders. When the matter
was first agitated one Of the voters
was against special school tax, but
the other VIZ finally won him over
to their side.
However, if this voter had known
he could have easily defeated the tax
even without voting at all. All he
would " had to do was to refuse
to be at the polls on the day of cleo
ton and there would have been no
election for the want Of the roper
officers. But he was not aware Of
those facts and hence the special tax
was voted.
This election was held not for a new
district but for the purpose of at
tachinp territory to another, local
district. Mr.. High is an ardent friend
Of education and writes Interestingly
concerning h election and his
school. His letter, in part. TO Super
~intendent Judd is as follows:
Our election came off today. Mr..
Rarbee did everything he could to
defeat and keep us from connecting
ourselves with his excellent. good
school at Loves Grove. But Mi. w.
T. Maroon finally agreed that We
were right and we all gave n unani-
nous vote for special tax to ioin this
good school | am going to try to
do my best to get Mr.. J.. G. Maroon
to bring in his side of the district for
special tax, which l think he will.
will mail YOU the books tomorrow
and YOU will please return them to
the clerk Of the board. If they are
not fixed right, fix them. For this is
a new thing for me. For I was a
boy at the close Of the Val and did
not na}e the advantage of going to
school is the children do now. The
Yankees came through and took our
meat. chickens. horses. and emptied
our feather beds into the air and us
boys mao to work instead Of going to
school. But am proud that it is
not so today.
