BEST MEDICINE FOR COLDS.

When a druggist recommends a
remedy for colds, throat or lung
trouble, you can feel sure that he
knows what he is about. C. Lower,
Druggist, of Marion Ohio, writes of
DR.. Kings New Discovery: Il know
DR.. Kings New Discovery is the
best throat and lung medicine
sell. 1t cured my wife of a severe
broncial cold after all other rene
dies failed" 1t will do the same
for you if you are suffering with a
cold or any broncial, throat or lung
cough. Keep a bottle on hand all
the time for every one in the fami-
ly to use. 1t is a home doctor.

Reasons For
Its Enactment.

More than eight-tenths of the
population of North Carolina live
in the country and follow agricul-
tur'l pursuits. More than eight
tenths of the children of North Car
Olina are country children. More
than 95 per cent of these never en-
ter college and never receive any
preparation for citizenship or for
making a living except what they
receive in the public schools of their
counties and communities. These
farmers and these children are en-
titled to better provision at home
for better preparation for the life
that most of them will spend and
ought to spend on the farm, in the
country. and for such education in
the schools as will tend to turn
them to country life, interest them
in it, and prepare them to live it
more comfortably, more contented-
ly, and more happily.
T h e arm ers and the
farmers children are entitled to
be given a chance to provide for
themselves by taxation or donation
(for the chief.burden of the mainte-
nance and equipment of the farm
life school will fall on them) these
farm-life schools adapted to the
needs of the children, the environ
ment surrounding them. and afford
ing better preparation for their life
work. All they ask is chance to
help themselves to do this, and q
little appropriation of $4,000 annu-
ally from the State Treasury to
STIMULATE and encourage this self
help. Shall they not have this
chance?

THE PERFECT MAN.

There is a man who never drinks
Nor smokes, nor chews, nor swears,
Who never CANDLES. never flirts
And shuns all sinful snares-
He's paralyzed
There is man who never does
A thing that is not right,
His wife can tell just where he is
At morning, noon and night
Hes dead.

OBITUARY OF Sister ELIZA HYATT

1917. She was married to E. G.
Hyatt October 9th, 1912. To this
union were born nine children: six
are yet living, three sons and three
daueters, D. M. Hyatt of sweetwa-
ter, Tenn, j. R. Hyatt of Waynes-
vile, N. e., R. L. Hyatt and Mrs.
Cordella Moody of Quallatown, Mrs
Martha Plott of Saginaw, Ore. and
Mrs. Mary Bennett of Bryson Citv
She joined the Baptist church at
Shoal Creek by an experience of
grace. September End, 1865 and
was Baptized into the fellowship Of
the same by Rev. j. L. Buchanan
where she remained a faithful and
and consecrated members till God
saw fit in His divine wisdom to call
ner from earth and to transplant
her in his Heavenly Kingdom.
Sister Hyatt gave evidence in her
life that she was Christian. doing
all she could to build up and adj
vance the Lords Kingdom here in
the world, and was much interested
IN missions. especially home mis-
Slons. She gave much of her time
to visiting the church members and
trying to stimulate and encourage
them to sense of their duty and
trying to persuade sinners to be-
come Christians. She was always
very attentive to the sick and af.
t1lcted and do all she could to re-
lleve them and make them com
portable and would supply their
needs as much as possible. Sister
Hyatt loved the church and was
faithful to attend as long as her
health would permit and she was a
good worker for the Masters cause
How much she will be missed in
the home and church no one can
tell, for she has left a vacant seat
that never can be filled. Truly a
loving companion and good moth
er has been removed.
The death angel visited her home
on the 28th day of March 1913, and
clipped the brittle thread of life and
her spirit returned to God who gave
it. Her body was laid to rest bv
the side of her husband in the
Hyatt cemetery to await the final
resurrection, The funeral services
were conducted by Rev. j. H. Will
son of Bryson City.
Sister Hyatt was 80 years 5
months and II days old. Her life
was long here on earth but now it
has come to a close and she has
gone to join her loved ones that
have gone on before and to spend
the countless ages ever by her Saw
lors side. She leaves children,
grand children and many friends to
mourn their loss but we believe
their loss is her eternal gain, for the
Spirit sayeth Blessd are they that
die in the Lord. for they shall rest
from their labor and their works do
follow them.
She has gone from this Vale of
Tears,
Gone from this world of woe,
Earth's transient hopes and fears
That heart no more may know;
No more, no more.
Resolved, That we bow in hum
BILE submission to the will of Him
who doeth all things we'll.
Resolved second, That we extend
our sympathy to the bereaved fam
lily and friends.
Resolved third, that this be spread

ton.

Some of the Benefits
OF Such Schools,

oAANAeu VI al Ayud1IlO IOr the
wnole county. The instruction and
'ralolng OF scores of country boys
and girls annually in the best meth
ods of farming, dairying, orchording,
stock judging and stock raising, the
handling and marketing of CROPS
cooking, sewing, and other subjects
pertaining to housekeeping and
nome making on the farm. would
SEND them back to the farm pre-
pared to make farming more profit
able, farm life more liavble, farm
homes more comfortable and more
beautiful. These in their various
communities would become sources
OF inspiration and disseminators of
agricultural information and object
I've demonstration for their neigh
bors, thereby greatly aiding the i'm
provement of agricultural conditions
OF the entire county and increasing
the wealth, the taxable. values of
all property, and the general pros
perity and progress of the county
and State.
Such a school, in the second
place, could and would, through it's
faculty, carry on most valuable ex-
tension and demonstration work
among the farmers and their wives
IN all parts of the county, meeting
with them from time to time in
their communities for instruction
and demonstration in all things per-
taining to their farm life and work
IN this way carrying to them the
new truth and the new light and
pointing them to the better wav
From time to time, these farmers
and their wives could and would
be gathered about the school for in
struction. for inspiration, for social
intercourse, for organization and
cooperation.
The whole lump would finally be
leveaned. Intelligence would de-
mand and more money would COM
ma I'd for country life. good roads,
good schools, good churches, good
vehicles, and the thousands of COM
forts and conveniences that break
up the isolation of country life and
and bring into it all the best of CITY
life without it's worst. Thus, indeed
by training the children to find and
make the most of the countless
treasures God has hidden in soil
and stream, in rock and tree, in
plant and air and cloud. would the
country life be transformed into
the ideal life, and country men and
women enter into the rich Inherit
ance prepared from the. beginning
for them-a healthful life of free
dom, fullness. sweetness. peace and
beauty. Then will men desire it
more, seek it more, and live it more
contentedly and happily.
County schools of this sort are in
successful operation in many States
of the Middle West. Pe.haps the
most successful are those in the
State of Wisconsin. 1t took hold of
life and conditions in the country

FINDS LONG LOST INDIAN TRIBE
Prof Speek Runs Across the Wave

Philadelphia. March 22.--Prof.
Frank Speck of the University Of
Pennsylvania is preparing report
on a tribe of Indians, lost for 1877
years, which he found Unexpectedly
on recent trip 10 the Province Of
Quebec, Canada. The tribe was
known as the Wawenock. once one Of
the strong tribes of New England.
Five families are all that remain.
A guide whom Prof. Speck employ
trips in the Indian country told him
OF a people he called Wallnkiak.

on the Beconcour River. near Pierre
vile. Taking the guide with him
Prof. Speck visited the tribe. He
found only one old man, Neptune.
who spoke the original language OF
the tribe.
From Neptune Prof Speck learned
another version of the massacre of
Norridgewock, in Maine, where the
Wawenocks formerly lived. Whit.
tier in his poem "Mogg Megone" uses
the massacre as a theme for a eulogy
on Father Rasle, who is pictured as
martyr.
Neptune's story of the massacre dlf
fers from the historical one. He told
Prof. Speck that when Gen Lowell
with the English troops came within
few miles of Norridgewock he sent
to friendly Indian TO Father Rasle to
ask him to come secretly to him for
an interview. Father Rasle met the
General and accepted a bag of gold
upon agreeing to call the Indians of
the tribe together for council on
the following day.
Father Rasle gathered the tribe to-
gether in a church and the English
troops fell upon them. setting fire to
the church and shooting the Indians
as they fed. An Indian. realizing
that Father Rasle had proved a be.

Indian fed he searched the priest

HISTORIC SUGAR MAKING
Samuel Robinson Was the First In
Vermont


Bennington is abundantly rich in
achievements that mark epochs on
the dial plate OF time. So abundant
are these that even her own inhabi-
tants are quite ignorant of many Of
them. The imposing shaft on Town
Hill reminds us always of the patrio-
tic bravery of the Green Mountain
Boys who won the ridge-pole victory
in the greatest revolution recorded in
all history. The geniuses that
wrought in the old Bennington pot
terry are just now coming into their
own, since specimens of their handi-
work are becoming more precious
than gold
Not to stop for moment to speak
of more than one OF the many other
epochal mplishmeDts, how many
are there among us who know or
ever heard of the circumstance that
Bennington man, Samuel Robinson
by name was the first white man to
discover the rich harvest that cours-
es up and down inside the bark Of
the sugar maple, and introduced to
the delighted palates of mankind that
most delicately delicious, gratefully
toothsome, delectable nectar COM
monty called maple syrup? II is
true that he was first given the
bunch by the Red Indian who was
wont to cash the maple, insert fiat
chips or sticks for spouts to conduct
the sap to vessels of clay or bark,
and when the sap was collected TO re-
duce 1t to syrup by repeatedly drop
ping hot stones into it.
1t was in March. one hundred and
slxty-two years ago this month, that
Captain Samuel Robinson gathered
sap from the naples that grew abou.
the base of Mount Anthony and, in
his primitive log cabin in small iron
kettles at the open fireplace, boiled
it down to syrup. His sap was
caught in shallow troughs followed
from the half sections of small logs
anu bAOuSnl iilO tht hONbC III Uut N
els hung from a shoulder yoke. We
opine that his syrup could hardly
compare with the product of the eva
porators of today but in I'VE olden
tyne" it must still have been far
more delectable than any other
sweets of his day, as our modern sy-
rup is of our day.
But of the 5O,0O0,0OO pounds of the
product of the maple annually pro.
duced in the United States. still full
~ one-third is accredited to Vermont,
and despite the fact that the num-
her CT trees have steadily decreased
in the face OF the advancing price OF
hardwood lumber, particularly floor

doubtless resulted in keeping the
