Sons Tears.
Sons Tears.

hlcnmOnQ, va, Jan. lU.-2S the
final blow OF the sweeping revenue
raid made in Louisa county this week,
Collector of Internal Revenue NJ. X.
Lowry yesterday ordere4 the seizure
of the registered brandy distillery
Of H. c. Foster, located near. Buck
ners. As u result of the investigation
which followed the finding of several
barrels of untaxed brandy near the
distillery, the revenue officers have
arrested three men and two women,
and are searching the countryside for
two other suspectej men. Collector
Lowry has re: son to believe from re-
ports furnished him that untaXsL
brandy was distilled in Fosters
plant.
For many years the revenue officers
have suspected the Anthony family,
who live near Buckner's, Of being
whole esale manufacturers of illicit
brandy. Last week an old negro
wolan found barrel Of untaXed
brandy hidden near her house.
Shortly afterward, several members
of the Anthony clan came to claim the
barrel. and when the woman refuse
to give it up took it by force. She
reported the occurrence to officers
and an investigation was Immediately
instituted.
On Monday morning Collector Low
ry and Revenue Agent Chapman sent
a force of ten officers into Louisa to
round up all the suspected members
of the Anthony elan at one time. One
raiding squad went to I. n. An
thongs house found two barrels OF
untaxed brandy and arrested Az
thony and Henry 7. Harris. Another
squad descended upon the home OF
Sam Anthony at about the sane hour,
found incriminating evidences and ar
rested lena Anthony, Martha An
thony. and Bernard Anthony. Still
thin! section descended upon a dis
tillery to institute search OF the
premises. The officers found that
Foster had gone. and they have not
been able to locate him.
The determination Of woman OF
the Anthony clan almost halked the
efforts of fourth squad: that visited
the home of Obie Anthony. On arrlv-
inr at this house the officers at once
began to search the premises Tor
untaxed brandy. After some time
thew found secret opening in the
floor of the house and pulled up
barrel Before they could examine
the barrel for signs of revenue
stamp a woman who was watching
the proceedings sat Gown upon the
unt,,rned barrel and. refused to
bulge.
Having no authority to lay violent
hands upon a woman, the officers were
considerably perplexed. For more
than an hour they stood around ana
hv arguments, attempted to unseat
! her. FINALLY they tried diplomacy. Al
though without power to disturb hef
r che refused to move, Deputy Mar
shall Gilman was introduced as the
arm of the law to arrest the woman
unless he vacate. This frightened
her Young son, who succeeded by his
tears and entreaties. in persuading MS
mother to get down from the seat
The barrel was found to be filled
with contraband brandy.
Lena, Martha, Bernaro and Ihom-
as n. Anthony and Henry I. Har-
ris were brought to Richmond ana
hailed for their appearance on Janu-
arv l3 before the United States Com
missioner. The officers are Stii!

LOWER COUNTRY SCHOOL AT TENDANCE WHERE ROADS
 ARE BAD

While it is true that various factors contribute to increase or decrease the attendance at schools in given sections of the country, it is worthy of comment that in the States having a high percentage of improved roads a much larger percentage of the students enrolled regularly at tend the schools than in the States having small percentage of improved roads. In five Eastern and Western States, which have a large mileage of improved roads, the averege attendance of enrolled pupils in l900-9 was 80 per cent, while in four Southern States and one Northwestern State, which are noted for bad roads, the average attendance for the same year was 64 per cent-80 per cent in the good roads States as against GA per cent in the bad roads States. In the States named 35 per cent of the roads have been improved, while in the latter group of States there are only 1@ per cent of the roads im- proved.
 That improved roads would benefit our country school system there would seem to be no doubt. Improved roads make it possible to consolidate or centrallZe the schools and to establish graded schools in the rural districts. Such schools centrally located will accomodate all of the chil- dren within a radius of from 4 to 5 miles. In many communi- ties having the advantage of improved roads commodious buildings have been provided, more competent teachers have beem employed. and modern facilities for teaching have been supplied at a minimum cost. For instance, since the improve ment of the main highways in Durham County, N. C., the number of school houses have been reduced from 65 to 42, of which r are graded and have two or more teachers.

There afs at the present time
 about 1000 consolidated rural schools in the United States. 1t
 appears that Massachusetts,
 Ohio. and Indiana have made
 the greatest progress along these lines. and it is rather signifi-
 cant to note that in these States about one-third of the roads have been improved. According
 to statistics of the Agricultural Department there was expend-
 ed in 1899, $22, 116 in Massachu- setts for the conveyance of pupils to pupils to consolidate schools, but in 1908 the expendi- ture for this purpose amounted to S292, 213. In Indiana the eX- penditure for this purpose in 1904 amounted to $S6, 1000. while in 1908, $290, 900 was expended. This expenditure for transporta- tion reflects, in a general way, the extent and progress of this educational movement. It must not be understood that this IS an additional burden, as the ex- penditure thus made is saved in other directions; that is, by the decrease in the number of schools and economy in their operation.
 In Indiana, Massachusetts. Ohio, and other States the one- room, one-teacher schools are being replaced by central school houses, with a half-dozen rooms and as many teachers. Wagons are sent out every day to gather up the children and to take them home again in the evening. All of the children within a radius of several miles are thus provid- ed with the most modern school facilities. In some of these school courses in manual train- ing, agriculture, and home economics have been introduced, scientific apparatus utilized. and teachers having special and training en- ployed.

CONSTIPATION MAY
 CAUSE APPENDICITIS
It Pays to be Watchfal and Careful. Dodson'S Liver Tone is Recommended
 and Guaranteed

In a number of cases it has seemed that appendicitis has resulted from chronic constipa- tion. Hence it is we'll to be careful and keep the system in as good working order as possi- ble, for if you never suffer from constipation you are likely to lessen your liability to other complications and troubles.
 But that does not mean that 1t is wise for you to use calomel. a poison that stays in the system and often leaves bad effects behind it, even after you may have appeared to be benefited temporarily. As a matter of fact, calomel is exceedingly dan gerous to many people. perhaps to you. So it is just as well not to take chances.
 For constipation, biliousness, liver complaint, sick headache, etc., Dodson's Liver Tone is guaranteed by M. B. Converse, who will cheerfully refund purchase price (50cs) } instantly to you in the event that it fails to give complete satisfaction.
 Dodson's Liver Tone is a vegetable liquid. perfectly harm less, easy to take and highly effective without pain, ache or gripe and leaving no bad after effects, It assists nature and builds you up instead of weaken ing you. So many people have been immensely benefited by this good remedy that it's worth your looking into at once. Make no mistake-ask for Dodson S Liver Tone.

Knowledge of the Anclents.

From various prehistoric imple- ments and ornaments found in Egypt, Professor Handbook, an Englishman, has concluded that the ancient peoples of that land used face paint; that the early pre-dynastic Egyptians were a neolithic people. having been skilled in the making of fiints and very early learning the use of copper and gold and that from the earliest times they knew how to navigate sailing boats and rowboats.
