to Jelalabad and buried on the royal
golf course, but il is assumed 1hat it will
be exhumed and reinterred in one of the
palaces at Kabal
While there have been rival claimants
to the succession, the new emir is ANA
rullah Khan, third son OF Habibullah,
the dead monarch. He is 20 years old

brother. According TO Calcutta news

lunch had been prepared. The European
engineer saved the situation by CITING
his lunch to Hsbibullah, who ate it all
and presented the cook with $40. To
the engineer he handed cigarette.
Good bye he said, as he departed.
Il shall see you again in three days on
my way back"
When the motor car returned two days
later it contained his dead body.
His majesty had proceeded about 81
miles beyond Khalat -Seraja and
camped at a little place known rs Kol-

watching. About 8 o'clock in the morn.
ing pistol shot was heard, and when
the emir's brother and eldest son rushed
into the tent they found him shot
through the head.

The natural condition of child is to be

boy is sullen and refuses to go out and play,
the child needs laxative to empty the bowels

POTATO GROWERS WARN
ED TO MARK PACKAGES

Potato growers and dealers are
warned that under the regulations of
the Food and Drugs Act all closed con-
tainers of food or food products must
be clearly marked with the contents of
the package. This statement may be
made in terms of net weight, volume,
or numerical count. The most practi-
cal system for potato shippers is that
of marking the contents in terms of
volume as all barrels now used in this
section have capacity of the U. 8.
Standard Barrel. The fact that these
barrels are standard, however. does
not remove the necessity for marking
them in this manner. Barrels not
| marked with regard to capacity, or
barrels of slack pack are clearly viola
tions of the Food and Drugs Act. The
following form for marking with
| rubber stamp on the side of the bar
| rels will be used by number OF
| growers this season:

school, to which he replied six or eight
times in the past five months" Thus
was Superintendent Vann acquitted of
the insinuation that he had neglected
to properly and frequently visit the
schools.
Cox then queried: HAS the super
moneys paid out?"
THE books of the. superintendent
tally with the records of the county
auditor replied Vann. Chairman
Leroy then stated that there had been
objections to the use of certain dupli-
cate district expense vouchers, and
that the books had not been kept
properly. Charles Carmine, county
auditor, was then quoted to the effect
that all errors had been checked and
corrected. Thus the second implica-
ton against Vann was shown to be
groundless.
Asked if petitions signed by major
ity of the citizens of the county re-
questing Vanns retention at the head
of the county schools would cause the
Board to re-employ Supt. Vann, chair
man Leroy answered, 'FBring your
[ petitions to the July meeting of the
| Board, and we will consider them. but
| we do not promise to retain Vann. I
don't think 1 will vote to keep him."
w. G. Cox the other member of the
Board who will remain in officer after
July first, stated emphatically that he
would not vote for Vann's retention
under any circumstances w. A. F'os-
ter, who will be supplanted by D. w.
! Morgan, of the Corinth section at the
next regular meeting of the Board. had
nothing to say. He is understood to
be opposed to Vann, but on account OF
the early expiration of his term. his
opposition will have no effect, since
he will not vote at the July meeting.
Leroy and Cox were then asked to
resign their positions. Both refused,
; stating that they were ready to meet
any charges the people might bring
, against them in the courts. John
Harrison hotly declared, well then,
we as a committee representing the
f citizens of Pasquotank county will take
this matter where we can get justice.
go anywhere you please, Mr.. Harri-
, son." defied chairman Leroy, and there
y the situation stands. Under the pres
ent laws governing county boards of
education, it seems that there is moth
j, ing that the people can do. Two men,
: lrepresenting a majority of the Board
can with irnpunity stubbornly refuse
to comply with the will of an entire
!, county, and employ Or discharge a
- superintendent without consulting any
=, body or anything but their own narro"
= opinion and picayune personal likes
and dislikes. The State legislature
meets two years hence; meanwhile
a Leroy and Cox may for a time continue
their despotic course at the expense
"a of incurring the hostility of an entire
- county. Their friends are already fas
- forsaking them, and it is likely tina
- sooner or later they will pay the rui
II penalty for their refusal to listen Il
"a the voice Of the people.
