BY GEORGE F. KING.
Burgaw, N. C.-During these days Of
unrest and the pronounced tendency Of
thousands of Afro-Americans in the
south to migrate north, many Of our
educators in the south are manfully
showing the educational needs of the
masses of the race. They are contend
ing that the educational facilities for
the race must be made better If the
schools are to be effective agencies for
racial development.
If there is not n substantial effort on
the part of the state to give the colored
people their just apportionment Of the
educational funds the industrious and
progressive men and women will MI
crate to sections where their children
will have better educational advantages.

BLOOD AS A NERVE TONIC

"If people would only attend to their
blood, instead OF worrying themselves
ILL.," said an eminent nerve specialist,
we doctors should not see our consult
ing rooms crowded with nervous wrecks.
More people suffer from worry than
from anything else"
The sort OF thing which che specialist
spoke OF is the i'crvou- rundown con
dition caused By overwork and the
many anxieties OF today. Sufferers
and themselves tired, morose, low
spirited, unablc &c keep their mind on
anything. Any sudden noise hurts
like blow. They are full of ground
less fears ant1 cannot sleep at night.
Doctoring 5hagnerves with poisonous
sedatiyes is {, terrible mistake. The
only real nerve ionic is good supply
OF rich blood. Therefore the treatment
for neurasthenia, nervousness, and run
down health is the new rich blood which
DIR, Williams Pink Pills are able to
make. The revived appetite, improved
spirits and new strength which come
after few days. use of the pills will
delight every sufferer.
