CHANGES in PUBLIC SCHOOL LAWS.
New Plan for Appointing committeeman
and ElectIEg Teachers.

Hereafter the county board O
education is required to appoint tn
school committeeman for each dis
trich as follows: One for a term O
three years, one for term of tw'
years, and one for term of on
year, and their successors eacl
for a term of three years. Thi
method is similar to the plan nov
in effect with respect to the appoint
ment of county boards of education
except that the members of the
county boards are appointed fol
longer terms. This plan makes the
term Of only one member expire
each year, thus leaving two expert
enced members holding over each
year.
Section 4161 has been so amended
as to require the applications for 9
position to teach in a county to be
filed with the county superintendent
of public instruction, and it further
requires the county board Of educa-
ton to fix a day in each township
for the election of teachers, at which
time the committeeman Of the vari-
Gus districts are to meet with the
superintendent for the purpose of
electing teachers for all the schools
Of the township.
Section AGA has been so amended
as to authorize county boards Of ed
ucation to provide for the payment
of teachers salaries promptly at the
end of each month. This provision
will prove a great convenience to
the teachers in the rural schools,
many Of whom frequently have to
wait for their salaries several months
until taxes can be collected. This
change simply means that the coun-
ty boards Of education are author
lied to borrow money when neces-
sary 10 meet the teachers salaries
promptly at the end of each school
month.
Hereafter no assistant teacher
shall be employed in any school un-
til the average daily attendance
reaches forty, and provision is made
whereby an assistant teacher may
be dismissed when the average daily
attendance for four consecutive
weeks drops below forty. The State

Street, Brooklyn, II. Y, says: Il had
O. very heavy cold which settled into
q chronic cough, which kept ne
awake nights for fully three months,
and felt tired all the time because my
rest was broken so much. The effect
Of taking your cod liver and iron rem

I can now get a good nights rest, and
I feel much stronger in every way

makes Vino, SO efficient in curing

Little Mary Elizabeth Bryant.

The death angel entered the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. G. B. Bryant, near
Hobgood, March Is, 1918, and took
their little girl. Mary Elizebeth.
She was sick only few days. All
was done fer her that the loving
parents and faithful friends could
do. The Lord giveth and the Lord
taketh away. blessed be the name Of
the Lord. She was laid to rest in
the family burying ground Sunday
afternoon.
Weep not, dear mother and father,
for your child who has gone from Us
forever. While she is laid in the
deep cold ground her soul is safe in
heaven. She has gone to rest, to be
with Gcd forever. We hated to
part with her, but God wanted to
take her home with him.
She was born February %, 1913,
and died March Is, 1913, making
her stay on earth two weeks and one
day. She leaves mother, father,
little brother, and other relatives
and friends to grieve after her.

In REHJHIAM.

Oh, death, what a mystery. Such
were the thoughts of many as they
gathered at the home Of Mrs. Cath
crime Bowers on Saturday, March
Goth. to take the last lingering look
at the remains Of our departed
friend and loved one, Mr.. Jesse
Msran Butts, who died in a Rich
mond hospital Friday. March 20,
1913. 1t was heart-rending to see
the dear ones bow down and drop
the bitter tears on the casket that
contained the precious form SO cold
and still in death, who just a short
time ago was in the bloom of health
and prime of young manhood, and
the JOY and pride of his home where
death had never before laid his icy
hand. 1t seemed to us the clouds in
the future were far away, as his
prospects for happiness were so
bright; but the blessed Lord who
doeth all things well, is too wise to
make a mistake, saw that his work
was finished and his life must end,
called him to come UP higher, we
hope and trust, where the clouds
will never darken that bright eter-
nal day.
We would say to his loved ones,
weep no more for your darling boy
and brother is not dead but asleep
in Jesus; he lives again, and when
all life is over the reunion in heaven
will be still sweeter by his going
first.
May God in His tender mercy send
divine grace to each Of the bereaved
ones to heal their wounded ard
broken hearts and help them to Say:
"Thy will, oh God be done.
What tho in lonely grief we sigh
For one beloved no longer nigh,
Submissive still we would reply
Thy will be done.
Renew our will from day to day,
Blend it with thine and take away
All now that makes it hard to say
Thy will be done.

Two SOCIAL FEATURES.
Preceding the Marriage Of Miss Sallie
Dunn to Mr.. J. G. Elm0re.

On Wednesday afternoon, April
2ad, Miss Olivia Lawrence most de-
lightfully entertained the Scissors
Club at her spacious home on Church
street. After the usual hour of
conversation and sewing, a two
course luncheon was served, after
which the surprise of the afternoon
came. Miss Sallle Speed Dunn, who
on Tuesday of this week became the
bride of MIR. James Grey Emore, of
Norfolk, was showered in a cloud
burst of linen articles, which she
most gracefully accepted, wishing
to each similarly shower before the
end of 1913.
HOSE SHOWER.
Mrs. James Harper Alexander,
Jr., was at home to her friends from
four to six Saturday afternoon,
April 5th, in honor of Miss Sallie
Speed Dunn. an April bride.
The guests were met at the door
by Miss Dorothy Dunn, who ushered
them to the east parlor to register.
From there they were ushered into
the west parlor where they engaged
in merry conversation for a short
time. The guests were then given
pen and paper and asked to write
advice to the bride-"Ho to Train
a Husband. Very good advice was
given along this line. and at the end
of the contest it was decided that
Miss Stella Hoffman and Mrs. G. E.
Pendleton had given the most help
full hints and they were awarded the
prizes, which were presented by
little Miss Marian Dunn, of Enfield
A delightful salad course was served
followed by delicious ices and heart
shaped cakes.
Next mail bag came which held
for the bride request to lead the
way to the east parlor where sur
prise was waiting her. On entering
the room she found a rubber boot
profusely decorated and filled with
silk hose of various colors. Here
punch was served and toasts given
the bride. to which she most grace
fully responded. The favors-min-
iature trains-were most attractive
and appropriate, reminding the
guests Of the absent groom, who is
a conductor On the a. C. L. train
from Norfolk to Goldsboro.
Mrs. P. A. Rasberry, at the front
door, gave to each departing guest
A tiny wedding slipper filled with
rice, with which the bride-elect was
shcWered as she left the house.
Mrs. Alexander, who is always a /
charming hostess, was at her best on
his occasion, exquisitely gowned in
white marquisette over blue satin.
made each guest feel glad to be
numbered among her friends.
Miss Dunn wore black crepe de
:hine with picture hat, worthy of
he reputation which she bears, as
me of the most beautiful and charm

COED ROADS AND DEVELOPMENT.
Some Striking Facts and Figures OF
Results From Road Improvement.

Davidson county, as far as natural
resources are concerned. is one Of
North Carolina's greatest counties.
Our county has BAT, ,669 acres of
land, the most of it fine agricultural
land. On the farms Of the county
are less than ZOO people, counting
men, women and children. There
should be at least twice that num-
ber, and even three times that num-
ber would not seriously crowd US.
We crow great deal about our
growth and we point with pride to
the fact that Davidson county gain
ed in population 6,00,1 between 1900
and 1910. Did you ever stop to
think where the gain was? 1t was
in Thomasville and Lexington. The
country population Of Davidson in
1900 was 1,208. The country pop
ulation Of Davidson in 1910 Yves
2O,914. This is a clear loss of 294
for the county outside OF the towns.
Lexington township, outside of
Lexington, lost 23O. Boone, Con-
rad Hill, Hampton, Jackson Hill
and Yadkin College, lost in popula-
ton. while the other townships made
small gains, ranging from 32 for
Silver Hill to 225 for Cotton Grove.
Emmons, on account Of the growth
of Denton, which was not an incor-
porated town in 1900, shows a gain
of little more than 400.
Glancing over the census reports
one is struck by the very noticeable
fact that no bad roads county in the
State Of North Carolina made any
appreciable gains in population
Ashe county. county Of bad roads,
shows a clear loss in the ten year
period of 507. Guilford. which
built good roads seven Or eight
years ago, shows gain Of 21 ,423.
Clay county lost 623. Rowan, a
county that has walked up to the
of building good roads,
made a gain in the same period of
more than 5000, and every town
ship in the county showed an appre-
ciable increase. e.-Lexington Dis

The Legislature.

More than three-fourths of the
population of North Carolina are
farmers, yet in the legislature of the
State they are represented by less
than fifth Of the membership, and
this is larger per cent than they
formerly had in that body.
by occupation the Legislature i.
made up as follows: Lawyers 50, far.
mers 35, politicians "a, merchants
II, physicians 5. bankers 5. The
others follow various occupations.
The lawyers and professional poll
ticians, having a majority of the
membership. should be given credit
for the good laws as we'll as the OBJ
jectionable acts made by that body.
They are also responsible for the
sins of omission.
There should be no crusade against
lawyers as such majority Of them
are among our best citizens. but it
is not the best policy to take a ma
jority Of the membership Of our
legislative body from any one pro-
fession Or vocation. Self-interest is
a strong factor and sometimes un-
consciously influence us. Witness
the legislature increasing the num-
Der of judges and solicitors when
there was no need or demand for
the increase. R.ch Square Chowan
