FOR COMPULSORY ATTENDANCE.
Superintendent Swearingen Picks Out
the Important Feature Of
the Sinkler. Hawkins Bill.

1t is highly possible that elections
NAV be held in some Of the school dis
tricts of Chesterfield county this sum-
mer on the question of compulsory
school attendance, the election being
held under the Sirkler- Hawkins bill,
which was passed. by the recent gen
eral assembly.
Following are the important fea-
tu,es of the law as picked out by
Sat, Superintendent Swearingen:
/. The adoption of compulsory at
tendance in any district depends alb
scl,uely upon the cooperation of the
,porle This law simply means that
all, children between the ages of six
a,.d twenty-one years If age have the

b. Upon election after petition by
one-fourth Of the qualified electors re-
siding in any district.
c. Upon election after petition by 4
majority of the board of trustees OF
any district containing an INCORPORATED
town of 1,5OO inhabitants. (Sec. 81
Elections shall be held upon the or
der of the county board Of education

ent or from the county superintendent.

Every local tax district should cir,
culate it's compulsory attendance peti
ton at once, should hold its election
on the second Tuesday in June, and
should put every child in school du'
ring 1856.
4. There remain 500 districts which
have neglected or refused to vote Il
local school tax. Some Of these 10 moi
need additional money, but nearly ey'
ery one needs greater interest in cd
ucation.
Some two score Of these districts
without q local tax have voted in ia
yor ofan extra levy since July 1st. AT
least one hundred new levies will GER
tainly he voted during the scholastic
year 1876.
The trustees and teachers in these
500 districts now have double op-
portunity to ask for local tax and for
compulsory attendance.
The legislature in enacting this law
has also made liberal appropriations
for the public schools. A fair chance
and free field are thus offered to
every locality.
Every progressive district is urged
to take advantage of the law.
Respectfully,
J. f. Swearingen,
State SuDt. of Education.

BACK WITH A RUSH.
The Return of Business With the
Advent of Spring.

Boston Dispatch.
1t was figured few months ago
that the advantage that the United
States would get from the war would
be almost wholly in war orders from
the belligerents, as cotton was sell
ing sSOO,OOO,0OO below its normal val
ue, offseting the advance in wheat by
the same sum of 100000 600.
And as for securities, it was fig
ured that it would be fair thing If
we held our own and were able to
absorb the billion a year that Europe
must send back to us during the year.
INVESTIGATIONS, however, the past
month, showed the ability Of the
United States to absorb at least a
billion of it's own securities at the
rate of a billion per annum as long
as they are able to fight, and give
us half a billion war orders per an
mum.
Conservative bankers figure that
last May, when the real
tselling Of American securities in an
ticipation of the war was begun in
Europe, there will have been shipped
to this side for the first year about
one billion of our securities.
1t is now figured that for the year
to end May first, we not only have
absorbed this billion of American
securities but established foreign
credit Of very many billions.
This has been easily accomplished
almost from our own savings, but
we have been assisted by the cutting
out of American travelling expenses
lin Europe amounting to about $780,
100000 per annum, and by few
hundred million of orders for war
material. 4
3 We have also been assisted by the
InSs..t1f> ~
cotton is cHgng into its own and
the South is able to realize a profit
tinstead of a. loss from its staple
product.
In other words the West has real
ized it's profits from wheat, and corn
and the South is not going to lose
any s3OO,O0O,0OO from its cotton crop.
Indeed, the financial surprise of the
world has come from the South TAX
ing less than $4,000 of loans to carry
cotton from that s135,0OO,OOO of pooled
assistance that was offered. 1t was
only moral support the South needed.
Now, comes the reaction for the
South. The past week the New Eng
land boot and shoe manufacturers
have begun to receive increasing or
ders where few months ago collect
ions were opor, the orders were nil,
and the conditions discouraging.
Shoe manufacturers now reoprt that
the delayed orders from the South are
coming with rush.

Are you swatting the fly? Have you
seen any flies to swat? If not, be on
guard and massacre the first one that
shows himself.
Scientists tell us that every fly We
kill now means that there will hc
millions less to kill later in the
season. And others, who were paid by
commissions to pay attention to tie
war waged upon this pest last year are
firm In their belief that the nation Ii
on the right track to exterminate the
little nuisance. Last year was really
the first when any determined effort
was made, speaking broadly. House
wives all over the United States took
arms against it as common foe, and
the result was that many communities
reported even distinctly visible
decrease in the number Of flies
throughout the summer, and in some
instances reports stated the extermina-
tion was almost complete.
Think of thirty million women with
perhaps as many children swatting
dozen flies day.! 1t is plenty

cooperation. At first the idea Of ex.
terminating the fly by killing them

it is not impossible, and the coming
summer will give even more positive
proof.
But all must help. Do your swatting

North Carolina was once so large

She touched the Atlantic Ocean, and

The United States Of Texas.

How long will Texas remain one?
The question has been revived
by agitations growing .", "f
the conflicting interests Of the different
sections of the vast empire in which the
entire population Of Germany could re
located without crowding. Even The
Houston Post is inclined to give serious
consideration to the plan Of making
three or four States out Of the one.
"The Prohibition Panhandle with its
economic problems, affecting vitality the
welfare of people largely drawn from
other States is beginning to despair OF
land and railroad legislation upon
which its prosperity and development
depend" says The Post South Texas
with it's heavy anti-prchibition,
preponderance drawn largely from
Europe, is weary Of the constantly
tightening coil that the prohibitionists
are drawing about it. West Texas,
like the Panhandle, has its peculiar
problems, which fail to exact the
interest or the sympathy of the other
sections of the State"
When Texas, the independent repub-
lie, joined the Union, it reserved to
itself the right to divide itself into any
number of States not exceeding five
without consulting Congress or other
authority. If therefore, Texas should
decide that its motto shall be "We are
five," and thereby secures for itself ten
United States Senators instead OF two.
nobody could object, however displeas-
ing the prospect would be to the Repub-
!icans and Progressiyes ips Congress.

Nine out of ten Of the women who

women addressed. This ignorance is not
unusual nowadays Nor will It be rem

are allowed TO marry, until all the old

so essential in the byGone days-so I'm
