didiy, Says Superintendent.
COMPULSORY LAW IS OBSERVED

I Conditions in the schools of Manry
county are not only vastly different
from what they were year ago, but
they are probably better than ever be-
fore in the history of the schools. A
year ago now the schools of the coun.
ty were demoralized as the result of
the terrible. epidemic of influenza.
Now they are not only all running at
full blast with less than the usual
and ordinary amount of sickness, but.
the attendance from nearly all OF the
schools is better in proportion to en-
rollment than ever before known.
Prof. John P. Graham, county su-
perintendent. of public instruction, has
been making his usual tour of inspec-
ton of the country schools and he is
most highly gratified at conditions.
The attendance is especially pleasing
to him. He stated also that he found
generally the discipline to be excel
lent. and believed that the pupils are
sustaining interest in their work.
Mr. Graham was especially pleased
at number of schools which are be.
ing taught by recent graduates with
out previous experience as teachers.
Owing to the scarcity of teachers
there are an unusually large number
of this class of teachers in the coun-
ty, most of them bright young girls.
What they lacked in experience MFR.
Graham found many of them were
making up in enthusiasm and in ear
nestness.
The compulsory school law is. be-
ing almost uniformly observed and is
being enforced in nearly every com
munity without resort to the drastic
penalties provided in the act. 1t is
sustained by strong public senti-
meht that makes its enforcement an
easy task.

Turkey Supply
Normal, Local

Local poultry dealers are now pur-
chasing turkeys for the approaching
holidays, paying Is cents a pound for
the birds. Dealers say they are una.
bic to tell at this time what the mar
ket will do before Thanksgiving, but
the increased demand will probably
send the prices skyward, however,
there is no shortage Of turkeys in the
county, and dealers believe the supply
to be up TO normal, which is approx.
mately $4,000 birds. Even IL the tur-
key crop comes up to expectation,
apd there Is 10 advance in prices, the
birds will bring their raisers more
;lian a quarter million dollars.

! the days before the civil war were no
more critical in their bearing upon
/ the existence Of our institutions, than
| these of the present. Our present dis
tresses call for every cool, clear and
/ fair mind of the government, whether
ne be farmer, laborer, banker or CAPT
taiist, to unite in concerted effort
to stay the mad rush to destruction of
1.-THE radicals OF every class.
1t seems no time to advance person
al interests or lay private plans for
the future. Yet it seems the efforts
of the farmers to organize and secure
the RICH to say what it cost to make
and raise the produce Of the farm
may be lost to them while dealing
with the questions which confront
every individual of every CLASS.
The Southern Agriculturist says
capitalists and labor alike are asking
what would happen should the farm
ers strike. What would happen if the
farmer found out he could get as
much for working twelve hours day
as fer working twenty to twenty-four.
They are the farmers tutors in this
matter, showing what influence he
can WELD, what pressure he can bring
to bear upon any given subject But
the farmer will not strike. They
should remember that the greatest.
fairest and best organization ever
brought into existence was formed By
farmers, Washington, Jefferson, Mad
ison, Monroe, and most all II not ev-
cry one who drafted the laws and by
laws of the constitution were farm
ers. They were the kind of farmers
the farmers of today want to be (have
voice in our laws) want to be and in
a sense would be if relieved of the
oppression of the food Spectator,
who stimulates. prices to sell his
stock and then depresses them to buy
again.
In the words of President Wilson,
the farmers have glimpsed a new
freedom and nothing which will not
violate the constitution or throw hon.
OF to the wind should deter him in
his determination to have that free
dom. The Rome News says that the
farmer is not and never has been a
serf When the middle man says
what we shall get for our produce and
what we shall pay for what we buy we
are dangerously near the kingdom of
serfdom. Notwithstanding what Mr..
Sherman Rogers an accepted authori-
ty on the labor situation. says in the
Literary Digest OF Oct. %: Working
men generally speaking are saving

NEXT YEARS ELECTION.

Never In the history Of this country
have the people worn their party

less Of craftsmanship among the voters
than ever before. Party names mean

extremely. difficult for any one today

Issues that most vitality concern the
people OF the country are not party
issues, many OF them have forged
prominently 10 the front since the last
party Dr0nouncements were made.
Before the next campaign the peace
treaty will have been disposed Of and
cannot be made party issue. There
can be no issue between the parties
over the treatment Of the veterans OF
the war because the two great politi.
cal parties will vie with each other
IN their promises TO the soldiers and
sailors.
IL IL not improbable In next years
contest one OF the two great political
parties will be a conservative and the
other radical Should that prove TO
be the case there will be general
breaking up Of party alignments. For
example, = II the republican party
