WOULD RESTRICT
BEER AS MEDICINE:
Mr.. Volstead Declares There
Is No Real Necessity for
Beer as Medicine.

Washington, April 26.-As the
first step of the fight in Congress to
tighten up the Volstead prohibition
enforcement law, a bill designed to
prohibit the sale of beer to the sick
on a doctors prescription was intro
duced in the house yesterday by
Chairman Volstead of the judiciary
committee.
The measure would not prohibit
use of wine for medicinal purposes,
but would make more specific and
more stringent the regulations on
this subject.
Declaring there was no real nee
essity for beer as medicine, Mr..
Volstead announced that his bill,
described as supplemental to the
national prohibition act, was put for
ward at this time to meet the sit
uation created by the opinion of for
mer Attorney General Palmer that
beer and wine, under the Volstead
act, could be prescribed for the ailing.

THE BOARD OF

To Look After the Erection of

Facilities.
TO APPOINT COMMITTEE

The Board of trustees of the
public schools of the Wilson school
district submit the following state
ment regarding the necessity for
increased school facilities, and urge
the people to vote for the pending
bond issue to provide these facilities.
In response to the request of the Mer-
chants Association for a finance COM
mittee to look after the erection of
the building and expend the money
the board announces it's intention to
appoint such a committee. The letter
follows.
To The Citizens. of The Wilson Grad
ed School District.
As members of the board of trus-
tees for The Wilson Graded School
District, we desire that those inter-
ested shall be informed as to the
true condition of our school facili-
ties, thereby being in position to vote
intelligently n the bond election
which is to be held on May 7th.
The Wilson Graded School District,
as everyone knows, greatly increased
it's population within the past few
years and is still growing. In order
to provide for this steady increase,
it is absolutely necessary to have
more buildings.
We now have in this school district
thirty-five hundred children of school
age. OF this number twenty-four hun
dred are actually attending school,
while we have room for only eigh-
teen hundred, the excess making the
crowded conditions of the rooms un-
desirable for many reasons.

AMERICA PROBABLY
TO Be PRESENT At
NEXT CONFERENCE
AMERICA WITH ALLIES
Information is to Effect That
IF Germany's ReParation
Proposals Are Proper Basis
for Discussion America VIII
Enter Into Conference Be-
tween Germany and Allies.
AMERICA WITH ALLIES

Washington, April :26.-Informa-
Tion given to the correspondent of
The New York Times is to the effect
that If the proposals formulated by
Germany are regarded by the Allies
as a proper basis for discussion the
next step will be conference between
the Allies and Germany in which the
United States Government will be
represented. It is the desire of the
American Government to have rep
resentative in the next conference,
but not as an umpire.
In such a conference the American
Government would be able to use it's
good Offices in an effort to bring both
sides to an agreement. However, the
intention of the American Govern
ment, as previously emphasized by
Secretary Hughes, is to stand by the
Allies in holding Germany response
BILE for the war and obligated to pay
the full limit of German ability to
pay.
In such a conference the United
States Government would be sitting
on the side of the Allies, instead of
as mediator between the two par
ties, and would express it's hope that
negotiations, once resumed on a new
basis, might lead to prompt settle
ment which would, at the same time,
satisfy the just claims of the Allies
and narmif Germany honoful1v to
renew its productive activities.

MUCH INTEREST MANIFESTED.


The services now being held in the
Methodist church were marked by
good congregations on Monday. The
noon hour seems to be a fortunate
one for the business men and these
services should mean much.
The congregation that met the pas

poses of the meeting. The lesson was
from the 18th. of Hebrews and the
Text Hebrews 1871 and Using this
familiar text Mr.. Love drew the par
allel between the race so familiar in
ancient sports, and the christian life.
These parallels consisted, first, in the
immediate surroundings and condi-

in both races, in most sympathetic
survey.
The second parallel is in the pre-
paration for the race. Here the

MANY COUNTIES TO
ASK FOR ADDITIONAL
FUNDS FOR SCHOOLS
THIRTY SIX WANT All
.Equalizing Fund Explained by
State Superintendent as Be-
ing Necessary Because Ger
tain Counties Had Insuffici-
ent Funds to Provide for 3
Months Term of School.
(By Max -Abernethy)

Raleigh, April 26.-Thirty six
North Carolina counties which in
191s-192O did not levy enough taxes
to maintain six months public schools
will ask the State for an increased
amount in 1921.
Once again the horizontal reduct-
ioning done to property valuations
by the county boards figures in the
scheme of things. The State equaliz-
ing fund from which the SO counties
drew for financial life was computed
by the financiers at the 1921 session
of the General Assembly. The Reval-
uation figures were used in arriving
at these totals also and with the as
sessed Valuations frightfully slaugh-
tered in forty-four counties the
question of where are we at" is
pertinent.
The equalizing fund is explained
by the State superintendent as being
necessary because certain counties
had insufficient funds to provide for
school term of three months re-
quired of every county by the law. "
Each of these counties was appor-
toned, in addition to the regular
apportienment, an amount sufficient
to cover the difference between the
funds available and the amount re-
quired for its three months term.
The 1919-192O equalizing funds total
$780, and went to the follow
ing counties:
Alexander, $6,248.55.

AMERICAN RELIEF WORK
IN AUSTRIA DECLINES
Peak Reached in June-Austrians
Grateful for Saving Of Com

Children's relief operations of the

reached the peak in Austria, on June
l9. when rations were issued to 379,-
77S Austrian children. On July l the
organization of which Herbert Hoover
Is the head issued 377.253 rations.
The relief administration has been
able to save from starvation approxi-
mately 100000 children in the war
stricken countries of central and
eastern Europe. it was announced
last night. Poland, Hungary, Czecho-
slovakia and the Baltic territories
have all benefited.
On the occasion of the signing of
the peace resolution by President
Harding, DR.. Josef Resch, former Aus
trian minister of social welfare said:
The peace established with America
justifies reference to the great well
fare work which the Americans have
initiated and carried on in this coun-
try. A month ago saw the second
anniversary of the work of the
American Relief Administration and
1t was able to survey with proud
satisfaction its gigantic success. Its
great significance lies in the fact that
a growing generation is being saved
from lingering death and given
back to- health and strength. Austria
owes an everlasting debt of gratitude
to the Americans for the relief work
started by Mr.. Hoover at the period
of her worst distress"
