Increase For Education.

The Board of Education ap-
peared before the County Com
missioners at their regular meet
ing the first Monday and request
ed that an increase in the tax
rate of 5 cents on the $100 and
Is cents on the poll be made at
the June levy, for educational
purposes. This the commission
ers agreed to favorably consider.
The increase would bring the
tax rate for schools from Is cents
to 80 cents, on the 500 valua-
ton, and from $1.65 on the poll
to $1.80. 1t is estimated the in
creased rate would raise about
$1,000 additional for school pur-
poses.
For the fiscal year ending June,
1917, the sum of $36,497.7l was
raised in the county for school
purposes, and it is thought that
this present year to end next
June, will bring the total to ap-
proximately $4,000.

West Was Snow Bound.

The worst general snow and
ice storm of a generation swept
over the western states the latter
part of last. week, being central
over Illinois. The snow attained
an average depth OF Is inches to
two feet, and completely tied up
railroad traffic on all roads lead
ing from Chicago for over a day.
However, the big rotary snow
plows were soon put to work and
the tracks cleared.
The cold weather extended
south and east, but was not as
severe as over the western
plains. Locally the mercury
dropped to 10 above zero, and
the cold snap was of short du-
ration.
Verify this winter will long be-
remembered as a golly-whopper.

Drastic Fuel Remedy.

Americas manufacturing en-.
terprise in all states east of the
Mississippi with but few excep-
tions was ordered by the gov
ernment last night to suspend
operation for five days beginning
Friday morning as a drastic
measure for relieving the fuel
famine. Also as a further means
of relief all industries and busi-
ness generality, including all nor.
NAL activities that require heated
building, observe every Monday
as a holiday for the next ten
weeks. This will close down on
Mondays all factories, stores ex-
cept for the sale of drugs and
food, places of amusement and
nearly all office buildings.
The governments move came
without warning. 1t was decid-
ed upon hurriedly by the Presi-
dent and government heads as a
desperate remedy for the fuel
crisis and the transportation
tangle in the eastern states. Even
munition plants are included in
the closing order.
The order carries a fine of
$4,000 or Imprisonment for viola
ton of its provisions. To pre-
vent industrial unrest it is said
the government might make a
formal request on industries af.
fected by the order to pay their
employees during the time they
are idle.
This effects not only large
manufacturing plants through
out the East but will be brought
home to Richmond county by
the closing tomorrow for five
days and each Monday thereafter
for ten weeks of the ten cotton
mills, and other plants situated
around Rockingham.

"A oeautl1ul wedding was wit
messed in the main street Metho-

church was prettily and effective
ly decorated with ivy and pine
tops with background of burn

flower girls, Misses Elizabeth
Myers and Elizabeth Whitlock,
nieces Of the groom. They wore
airy dresses of white maline and
carried flower baskets of sweet
peas. The coolness and self pos
session with which they entered

the most attractive features of
the ceremony. The ring-bearer
little Miss Betty Werner, of
Charleston, S. c., in a dainty
frock of white organdy came
down the left aisle bearing the

Report of Grand Jury.

IlldIl.
We have acted on all matter
{ brought before us and have re
turned all bills sent us by tn,
Solicitor. We have visited b,
committee the two convict camps
the county Jail, the county home
and have inspected the offices O.
Clerk of Court and Register o.
Deeds.
The Committee visiting what
is known as the lower convict
camp report that the convicts
seem to be we'll clothed and well
fed, sanitary conditions are as
good as existing conditions will
allow. We find at this camp ten
mules all in good condition. The
Committee which visited the up.
per convict camp report that
they find everything in very good
condition, men well clothed, we'll
fed, sleeping quarters properly
heated and in sanitary condition.
There are eight mules at the up
per camp all of which were found
in good condition.
"The Jail seemed to be in first
class condition, prisoners are be-
ing well fed and have sufficient
bedding, properly heated and
sanitary conditions good.
AT the County Home we find
that nineteen inmates are being
cared for, fourteen white, five
colored. We also find on hand
one horse, three head of cattle,
five hogs, about 125 bushels of
corn, 1000 bundles of fodder, 40
bushels Of oats. The inmates
seem to be well fed and cared
for.
AT the Register of Deeds Of
fee we found everything in very
good shape and about the only
thing needed was more filing
space in the vault which cannot
be provided account of the vault
being too small.
I'VE visited the Clerk OF Courts
Office and we recommend that
the County Commissioners pro-
vide filing units for the filing of
all special proceedings, wills, etc.
Upon investigation we find that
there are old but important rec
ords in the Clerks office which
are not properly indexed and we
recommend that the County
Commissioners have these rec
ords properly indeAed. We
would suggest in the same man.
ner that Clerk is now indexing
Court records. We also find
that quite a number of guardians
are not filing their annual ac-
counts as required by law and
that some have not filed their
final accounts. We recommend
that the Clerk notify such guar
dams to file their accounts as the
case may be or that they be
given opportunity to file their
accounts between now and the
next criminal term of this court
and that the Clerk of Court file a
list of all those who have not
filed their. accounts by that time.
We find that the Clerk is using a
privately owned file case to file
wills and that this file case can
be bought at a price less than
one-half the original cost. We
would therefore recommend that
the County Commissioners pur-
chase the file case for the Clerks
office.
I'm regard to building a new
court house we find that the
County Commissioners have or
dered a new court house built,
but that work has not yet been

Special Playing Cards Now
For Subjects of the Kaiser

German war enthusiasm has found
vent in the Punishment from Berlin
Of the conventional playing cards and
the substitution of specially printed
packs, says writer, in which the ira
ditional kings, queens and knaves have
been superseded by portraits of war
celebrities, such as, for instance, the
kaiser and the crown prince, Hinden.
burg, Won Kluck and Tirpitz.
The idea is not exactly new, simi
lar patriotic packs" having made
their appearance in 1S7O-71, during the
last Franco-German war. These are
now valued by collectors.
Many years later the kaiser had a
number Of so-called "royal packs"
printed, from his own designs, at the
German government playing-card fac
tory at Altenburg, near Berlin. One
of these, now In possession Of King
George, bears the portrait cf his grand.
mother, Queen Victoria, as queen of
hearts. The kaiser figures as the king
of hearts, while to the pope is allotted
the kingship Of spades. Ry pretty
bit of irony the knaves are represented
by four leading European statesmen,
Lord Beaconsfield, Britain's then pre-
mier, being knave Of clubs.

Electric Eye Burglar Alarm
Set OFF by Rays of Light

A burglar alarm set Off by rays of
light is possible as the result of a
scheme introduced under the trade
name Of the electric eye" by DR.. o.
Hannach of Berlin. 1t is merely a
sensitive selenium cell which will give
. signal, when 1t is Illuminated.
'The selenium cell acts In the usual
way as a relay" says the Scientific
American Supplement. 1.-THE cell is
small and can easily be hidden in the
decorations Of a safe or piece of furnl-
ture and covered with glass. The ad-
vantage claimed over ordinary burglar
alarms Is that the device will operate
as soon as light is introduced into
the dark room, while other alarms
have to be excited by the breaking Of
an electric circuit or by mechanical
vibrations. AS the electric eye works
with suspended coil, however, acci-
dental vibrations might make 1t more
sensitive than Is desired.

Splced Beef.

Take five pounds or more, depending
upon the size Of the family, of beef
from the rump. Trim away the meat
and cut sits several inches from the
edge in which to pack the stufIing,
made by using suet, crumbs and vari-
Gus herbs which are enjoyed, pepper,
salt and n grating of nutmeg or
pinch of mace. After stuffing, rub the
meat all over with salt, pepper, cloves,
allspice, then wet with vinegar. Let
stand over night In the morning put
into a kettle with cupful of water
and cook slowly (very) for several
hours, allowing half hour for every
pound Of meat, turn 1t often while
cooking so that the gravy will season
all parts Of the meat. Serve hot or
sliced cold. Thicken the gravy ant
serve with the meat.

Recruit Answers to His
Nearest Living Relative

A recruit in one of the cantonments
when called up for examination was
asked:
What is your nearest living rela-

what you mean relative mister7"
returned the recruit.
"Oh, mean your nearest living kins-
folk"
"Wal, that's my aunt you're talking
bout"
Several other questions were an
swered satisfactorily when there
came:
"In case Of death or accident, whom
shall be notifedr
my mother" Immediately from the
selectman.
But you told me just few min
utes ago that your aunt was the near

He rose to his feet, and staggered a
little as he walked. There was collar
about Kazan's neck, and he chained
him to the sledge. After that he
dragged three or four small logs upon
the fire, and went quietly into the tent
where Joan and the baby were already
asleep. Several times that night Kazan
heard the distant voice of Gray Wolf
calling for him, but something told him
that he must not answer it now. To
ward dawn Gray Wolf came close in to
the camp, and for the first time Kazan
replied to her.
