no authority to grant immunity to
any one, but public sentiment will
sustain HIM unanimously in announc-
ing that his department will not in
terfere with the desire of mill en-
pIoyes to make money for contrlbu-
ton to war purposes.
AS a matter of fact, he points out,
adult male employees r privileged
under the statute to work overtime
bv agreement with employers. Only
women and children therefore re-
ouire the special dispensation or per
mission granted by the labor commits
sioner.
Many inquiries have come in to MI.
Postlethwait in reference to I'M mat
ter and Mr.. Shipman's ruling as given
in yesterdays News and Observer I'M
doubtedly allayed much anxiety on
the part of mill operators and en-
ployes.
The willingness of the mill en-
ployes to work overtime affords a
valuable hint to other people of the
necessity of making real sacrifices in
order to be in position to aid in rails
ing North Cardinals quota of the Red
Cross fund. If everybody in North
Carolina would give in the same pro-
portion to their means that these gen.
erous factory employees are going to
give the Red Cross quota would be
subscribed several times over.-News

HUSTLER At
HALF PRICE
TO SOLDIERS

w. S. Wilson, secretary of North
Carolina Council of Defense after Wis
iting army camps returned and in a
public letter made three sensible sug-
gestions, the first of which follows:
First, send your home paper to
at least one soldier at the camp.
Pick out one of the men you know
and subscribe for your home ne.
per and send it to him. Any mem.
Der of his family will give you his
correct address. Write him a let
ter and tell him you are sending
it The cost will be trifling. The
thought will be appreciated. 1t
is not an act of charity, but an
act Of patriotic service.
In order to do our bit we have de-
cided to offer the Hustler at half price
20 cents for six months or so cents
for a year, to any one wishing it sent
to a soldier.
This is a splendid way to do your
bit. Help us out in this effort to in
terest the soldier boys who are MAX
ing a sacrifice for their country.
The Hustler publishes more Hender-
son county news than all other news
papers combined therefore it is the
paper that Henderson county soldiers
want.

, must be done and quickly done or our
schools will be dismantled in another
six months. 1 love to teach, said one
of them the other day, but I can't
teach when continually ~bully-ragged
by debts and bill-collectors. I've got
to do something else in order to live.
And she did. She's only one of many
thousands in this and every other
State.
It's a Local Problem.
In North Carolina the counties and
communities put down SO for every
81 that m out of the State treas
ury for common school education; or
so on an average. Saving the schools
is therefore a matter of local interest
and pride, and of local willingness to
bear school tax burdens-new bur-
dens or heavier burdens for the sake
of the children.
If Allegheny, the richest county in
per capita farm wealth in North
Carolina, has poorer schools than
Dare, u poorest county in such pro-
perties, then it is because of local I'M
willingness to bear tax burdens for
school purposes. These two counties,
by a of illustration. The same
thing is, of course. true of other
counties.
Our point is, that it is not a prob
lem of State administration but of
local tax levies, or mainly so. Where
fore the wisdom of Superintendent
letter to the public about ways and
means of meeting this wartime emer-
gency in schools.
It's Go On or Go Under.
What Lloyd George has just said to
England, we urge upon the school
communities of North Carolina. It's
go on or go under.
Barring certain countless score
or so, some of them the richest in the
State-North Carolina has done well
in voting money for school support.
Dare in particular; every school dis
trict in that county now levies extra
taxes for school support.
We have done well but we must do
better for our children's sake. We
must indeed Go on or go under

THE DIXIE HIGHWAY.

Savannah should feel keen inter
est in the official designation, by the
Dixie Highway association, of the
Knoxville-Asheville GreenviIle-G Green
wood Edgefield-Augusta -Waynesboro
route as the Carolina division of the
highway. There is not anywhere a
route that combines more varieties of
scenery, more pure beauty, better
roads, or finer country, in the same
length of road, as may be found by
the tourist who comes from Knox
vile by way of the Carolina division,
through the mountains of East Ten
nessee and Western North Carolina,
and then down along the coast
through Savannah and on to the Flor
ida line. Mountain and sea, precipice
and beach, pines and palmettoes,
rhododendron and poinsettia, tum-
bling rivers and placid streams, fish
ing and hunting, business and play.
lotion fields, corn and cane, rural
life and urban hustle, historical in
terest. army camp life, shipbuilding
If there L. a tourist on earth who
cannot find a uG.zen things, in addi-
ton to good roads, to interest him in
ssuch a trip he must be less than one
year OLD, and even at that tender age
ne would appreciate the fine climate
of the Carolinas and Georgia and
would find an appreciative people
along the road to try to make things
pleasant for him.
The Carolina division, from Knox.
vile to W~aynesboro, was added to
the Dixie Highway at the meeting of
the association at Chattanooga this
week. 1t is bound to be popular

imaginary route, but a good road. AL

part of the highway.
If you are thinking of a little au-
tomobile vacation this year think
what a trip it would be for you to
come down to the coast from YOUR
home in Georgia, see Tybee and Sa-
vannah, then go up by way of
W~aynesboro and Augusta through
the Carolina mountains, over to
knoxville and then back into Georgia
by way of Chattanooga and Atlanta
to your home. That is a trip worth
taking.

Worse Now.

During the first two years of the
war, the average annual pay of our
white teachers in the country was in
creased less than 5 per cent, and that
of white city teachers less than 8 per
cent. These pitiful increases average
$1O.35 for the year in the first in
stance and $12.7O in the second.
On the other hand the cost of liv-
ing has more than doubled-in many
items of food, fuel and clothing, it
has more than trebled. Which is to
say, the teachers dollar now buys
from a third to a half as much as it
would buy in 1914. It is exactly like
cutting down the teachers salary a
half or two-thirds. Purchasing power
considered, the average salary of u
white public school teachers is not
1895 a year but $148 or less.
They cannot stand it and keep
soul and body together. Something

A BOYS VACATION.
by Nixon Taterman.)

{By Nixon Waterman.)
Little Tommy Doodle and his mother
spent a week =
At Gran'pa Doodle's farm, where
Tommy tumbled in the creek
And got his lungs so full of wet he
couldn't get his breath
Till poor old Gran'ma Doodle had
been frightened most to
death.
He ate some poison berries that he
found along the lane:
1t took a doctor half the night to
soothe away the pain.
He tried to ride a 'kicky" colt-a
risky thing to do
Twas quite a little while before they
really brought him to-.
He stuck a stick into a hive of bees
oh, sorry day!
He couldn't see a thing until the
swelling went away.
He teased the goat to see if it was
cross as he had heard:
They had to work with him awhile
before he spoke a word.
And then he climbed a cherry-tree-
just like a boy-and fell
And broke his arm, and-sakes alive!
you ought'a heard him yell.
His mother took him back to town to
get a little rest,
But Tommy says of all his life that
week was far the best.

WAR PRICES NOT IN CLASS
WITH THOSE OF CIVIL WAR,

T. D. Jackson, Of Etowah, feeling
that there is no justice in the cry
against high prices, hands the Hustler

SALARIES OF TEACHERS AND
OTHER EDUCATIONAL NOTES;
TEACHER SITUATION SERIOUS

The resignation of teachers, both
| men and women, is epidemic the
whole country over. Here and there
the whole corps resigns, the schools
close in the middle of the year, and
the children are turned adrift-
usually in the country regions. A
third or a half of the corps resigns
and the school limps along on n
foot. Stories of this sort are COM
mon in North Carolina, and in every
other State of the Union.
The explanation is simple; the
teachers cannot live on their salaries
and they flee for their lives into 9TH
er callings that pay better. It is Hob
sons choice. It's take it off or knock
it off, as the children say in humble
the-peg: The teachers are taking it
off.
Every calling pays better in these
days of wal demands for workers.
And the teachers are fleeing because
of bread and butter necessity-in this
and every other State.
The situation is serious, and so our
State Department of Public Instruc-
ton is cooperating with the various
educational bodies in a campaign for
better salaries and better living con-
ditions for our common school teach
ers' SA.
Bad Enough Before.
The money rewards of teachers in
North Carolina when the war. began

The average annual salaries are
for white preachers in, the South out
