HOME, SWEET HOME.

I've bought goods at Glasgow, Belfast and
Cork.
London and Liverpool, and then in New
York.
I've purchased in Paris, yes, been in
Rome,
But say to you truly, there's no place like
home.
Have sent to Chicago, I'm sorry to say;
got what ordered, but first had to pay.
When the boxes were opened l stood
there alone
And said to myself goods are better at
home.
The stove that sent for had only three
legs.
What's the use of a stove if it hasn't its
pegs'
When looked in the oven it was cracked
in the dome,
Then | wished to old Mike had bought
it at home.
I'm now filled up with this buying away,
I'll buy where sell my good butter and
hay.
If the Lord will forgive me no more will
roam,
Hereafter I'll spend all my dollars at
home.

Ton of Coal Being Sent
Out Of MlssouIa by Parcel Post,


What is, perhaps, the most uni
que parcel post package in the
country was handled by the Mis-
soula postoffice last week. 1t con-
sisted of an eight-pound chunk of
coal, the first of shipment of a
ton of coal that is being sent by
the Perry Coal Company, of this
city, to H. Hickman, the proprie-
tor of the Success Restaurant in
Butte, the smallest eating house in
the world.
Hickman's restaurant is a hole
in the wall, measuring FIVE by ten
feet. Until he came to Missoula
10 months ago, j. M. Swango, the
manager of the Perry Coal Com
pany, handled coal in Butte. One
of his customers was Restaurateur
hickman. .
A few days ago Swango receiv-
ed letter from Hickman in which
he ordered ton of coal by parcel
post. Il, haven't had good coal
since you left Butte" wrote Hick-
man. Send me a ton by parcel
post. Remember that my coal bin
is no larger than a coal bucket"
Hickman may have been joking.
Manager Swango, however, is TAX
ing his order seriously. This is
evidenced by the first installment
of an eight-pound shipment of coal
which he made last week. He
expects to keep on sending it each
Saturday. Manager Swango en-
closed bill for two cents. The
postage on the coal was 80 cents.
If the entire ton is sent bv parcel
post it will cost Hickman about
$50. -Missoula Sentinel.

1T WAS POLITICS.

The last Grand Jury had indie
ted Mr.. D. P. Martin OF Arnaud-
Vile on tho charge OF dual office
holding, he being . member OF tho
School Board and Mayor OF the
Town OF Arnaudvills.
When Mr.. Martin was elected
Mayor, his attention was called to
the fact that he could not hold
both Offices, and hs promptly sent
his resignation to Governor Hall,
giving his reason and the fact,
Why hs was rssigning the office of
Mayor, which office has no salary
attached to it.
Gov. Halls opinion was that he
could hold these two Offices and
refused to accept his resignation
and the Governor submitted the
matter to Attorney General Plea
SAINT for his opinion, and the At
tornsy General agreed with the
Governor that it was not illegal
for Mr.. Martin to hold tho two
offices.

q few days ago, tho politicians

Fighting Grandfather Clause
In Courts.

Washington dispatches forecast
the filing of suits in the Supreme
Court to nullify what ia known as
the grandfather clause" in the
constitutions of several Southern
States. The effect of the grand
father clause" does not seem to DO
generally understood by those who
oppose it. 1t is in no sense a re-
strictivs provision aud if it were
wiped from tho statute books to-
morrow tho status Of the negro
would be precisely as it is today
except in the cases OF those who
are eligible to register under that
clause. 1t was never intended to
restrict the right to vote, but on
the contrary, its purpose was to
ameliorate the drastic restrictive
provisions Of the suffrage Ordi-
nance by rendering eligible those
illitsratss whose grandfathers were
suffrsgists at q specified period.
Its practical abrogation is being
rapidly effected through the pro-
cess of education; hsncs few mani
fest any interest in the measure in
this part of the South. - Country

THE SIX MONTHS SCHOOL

act passed by practically a
unanimous vote of the General Assem-
bly,, providing for a six months school
term in every district of North Carroll
ma, is a great step forward. This ques-
ton has been agitated by educational
leaders for many months and proved to
be a problem dfficult of solution.
There has been no division Of senti-
ment, but wise men in the Legislature
hesitated to take the step because they
were unable to agree upon plans for
financing the proposition with a deficit
in the State treasury staring them in
the face.
But the people oyer North Carolina
would take no excuse. Petitions pour
ed in upon the lawmakers from every
section of North Carolina urging the
passage of a bill providing a six
months term for rural schools; the
Farmers Union plead with the legisla-
tive committee to heed the demand of
the people and the State Department
of Education threw the power Of its in
1uence behind the movement. The
newspapers of the State Joined in the
campaign and all these Influences COM
bined were irresistible. Members Of
The General Assembly became convinc-.
ed that a way should be provided to.
meet the demands of the farmers Of
Nc rth Carolina and have covered them
selves with glory by passing the bill.
A more important or far-reaching
measure will not be enacted at this
session of the General Assembly. 1t is
one instance of the people in country
communities getting what they wanted.
We believe the act Of the General
Assembly providing a six-months
school for the country children will be
heartily applauded by the people in
e. cry corner of the State. The cities
and towns have been favored with
fiom six to nine months school terms
fer a number of years. The country
children ere soon to have their inning
and this paper rejoices with them in
the prospect.
