A LETTER
To the Teachers and Patrons Of
Rural Schools.

As an incentive to better atten-
dance in the schools of Williamsburg,
we are offering perfect attendance
button. hope the teachers will
help us in announcing this fact and
thus aid us in overcoming this great
school-eyil.
We are planning to introduce
manual training in the schools. This
of course calls for manual training
supplies. We are offering to dupli-
cate the amount you raise up to ten
dollars for this purpose. The sup
plies are not very expensive and are
easily obtained. Part of this money
also may be invested in garden
tools-to be used in your school
gardens. We are asking every
teacher to divide the school grounds
into little plcts-one for each child.
In this way agriculture can be in
troduced and the grounds beautifed.
The seed and bulbs may be obtain
ed free from Winthrop. Clemson or
the U S Government. Bulletins on
agriculture and school gardening
may be also obtained from these
places. We hope to have an exhibit
on Field Day from these gardens.
Keep this before you and make your
garden the hest; then your exhibit
will be the best.
trust all of the teachers will put
forth their best effort this term and
utilize every opportunity presented
to them for the improvement of
their schools. They have our CO.
operation in every step they take
towards advancement.

Avoid SedatlVe Cough Medicines.

If you want to contribute directly
to the occurrence of capillary bron'
chitis and pneumonia use cough
medicines that contain codine, NOR
phine, heroin and other sedatives
when you have a cough or cold. An
expectorant like Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy is what is needed.
That cleans out the culture beds or
breeding places for the germs of
pneumonia and other germ diseases.
That is why pneumonia never results
from a cold when Chamberlain S
Cough Remedy is used. 1t has a
worldwide reputation for its cures.
1t contains no morphine or other

NATHAN CLAIMS HIS

Sheffield Man Says Captain
KOlb Is Man Needed for
Governor Now

Colbert county, in the opinion of
Judge Joseph. II. Nathan of Sheffield,
who is in Birmingham, will fall into
the column of Capt. Reuben F. Kolb,
commissioner of agriculture, and a can
didate for the gubernatorial nomina
tion.
"The other candidates." continued
Judge Nathan, will get some votes, but
feel confident that at the present
time at least. majority Of the votes
of Colbert are lined up for Kolb.
I'm the event of his election Captain
Kolb will make Alabama great gov
ernor, the kind that the state needs
at this time. We have had too many
aggressive governors for continued
peace and prosperity. We have had too
many governors who in addition to
discharging the duties given them by
the constitution, have endeavored. and
often with success, to acquire the func-
tions of the legislature.
"a governor who by patronage con-
trolls the Legislature is dangerous
governor. And a governor whose am
bition extends beyond the period of his
administration, is a dangerous gov
ernor.
I'm recent years we have had gov
ernors of both types and have suffered
We need a long period of peace in or
der that we may have plenty and be
prosperous"
Judge Nathan Is in Birmingham on
legal business. For many years he has
been factor in Alabama politics.
