Some high school work is at
tempted in eleven Of these schools
No high school work is being
done III rural Halifax county ac-
ceptable to the State Depart
ment Of Education nor the col
leges. This is due largely to the
widely scattered white popula-
ton and, in some cases, to local
isms. Splendid high school
work is being done at Enfield,
Littleton, Roanoke Rapids, Scot
land Neck and Weldon. Chill
dren from rural districts are ad-
mitted into these high schools.
In 1876 only five white
teachers in the rural schools had
been IN college or normal schools.
Last year 81 had finished high
school and graduated from col
lege or normal schools. The
elementary supervisor, Miss An
ME III. Cherry, is doing good
piece of work in supervision and
teaher training. The three days
conference before the opening Of
scho ols each year, group center
teachers meetings and helpful
personal visits are doing much to
inspire teachers and pupils, I'M
prove instruction and secure CO.
operation of patrons.
Forty-four standard class
rooms, fourteen new buildings
or 30 per cent Of the schoolhous-
eS for the white race-have been
built even within the last five
years. Approximately 10000
have been put into new buildings
and new furniturewithin the
same time; twenty new houses,
fort three standard class. rsoms
having been built for the negroes.
This IS $40 per cent Of the total
number OF negro schools. All Of
these houses have been furnished
with modern furniture. About
- per cent Of the cost Of these
houses and equipment has been
paid by private contributions
from negroes and by agencies
without. the State-the Julius
I,osenNald Fund, General Eda-
cation Board and others
The schools II Enfield, Lit
Seton, Roanoke Rapids, Scotland
Neck and Weldon are Of the very
lest type. New buildings have
been erected in all these towns
within the last five years. Roa~
nolza Rapid., has recently erected
q ne" .iuilior-senior high school
building at a cost Of aDproXI-
mately one-half million dollars
and IS now erecting a commod-
ious new brick building for he~
negroes. Weldon has recently
voted $4,000 for new high
school plant
The personnel Of the education
al leaders in character, training
and experience is most excellent.
The teaching force likewise oc-
cupies this high plane Of excel
Ience.
Last but not by any means
least i, the spirit Of the people
Of Halifax county. The spirit Of
confidence and cooperation is
manifested in the attitude toward
the schools and the determina-
ton to educate the children.
They recognize that the greatest
wealth Of the county, State and
nation lies in the child, and they
are determined to conserve it.
The city man and country man
are determined that their chill
dren shall have an equal oppor-
tunity with any other. This
spirit IS responsible for the recent
growth and will determine the
future development

Suddenly Leverett's knees gave

Blood and pulse began to jump. He
passed one dirty hand over his mouth
to mask any twitching.

Quintana-
"Jake's got It." Leverett's voice

SYNOPSIS


Again the crimson ray of blood appeared
in the tragic history Of the Flaming Jewel,
that priceless gem first stolen from the royal
caslzet of the
COUNTESS OF EsTHoNIA by the great in
ternatiOnal thief,
QUINTANA. and then stolen from ouintana
by
MIKE CLINCH. Clinch brought the Flam-
ing Jewel to his camp in the Adironuacks,
where he boarded 1t for the education Of
his beautiful stepdaughter.
EVE STRAYER. Quintana appeared to re-
cover the jewel. Also bent on recovering
the jewel is
HAL SMITH who intended to restore it to
the countess.
Quintana with a packet which che thought
contained the Jewell but which contained
only two bars of chocolate. This packet Is
stolen from her by two of Clinchs men who
went over to Quintana. One Of them,
EARL LEVERE1T. murders the other,
JAKE KLOON for the false packet. Hardly
had Leverett concealed the body In the
woods when a hand was placed on his
shoulder.

IMPROVEMENT IN

IS REPORTED
Federal Reserve Report is
Issued; Shows Decline
In Shipments.
Increase in Number of Build
ing Permits is
Promising.

Minneapolis, Mimi. Feb The
monthly report Of the Federal Re-
serve agent in the ninth district con-
tains the following information:
Financial conditions in the north
west improved considerably in De-
Interest rates at the Federal Reserve
bank n other central banks de-
clined because man loans were paid
OFF in the larger cities.
The December movement of grain
and live stock to market was reduced
to totals below normal for the month.
although receipts of corn. coats and
calves increased. Greater stability
wa shown in the prices of grain and
live stock at wholesale.
Buying in the agricultural sections
was at a low ebb although city sales
appear to have improved n%oticeably.
Wholesale sales of agricultural imple-
ments in 1921 were but one-third OF
the 1926 totals. December sales at
III retail stores in the larger cities
exhibited a greater increase over No
vember than between these months
last year.
The volume OF business and manu-
featuring registered a substantial de-
cline, as indicated by flour production.
shipments OF lumber manufacturers,
sales Of lumber retailers and increas-
ed unemployment of labor. Copper
and linseed production rose slightly.
Individual debts which reflect gen.
eral conditions fell two pcr cent.
Business failures continued at the for
mer levels.
Promise for the future is indicated
in the estimate that a larger acreage
was sown to winter wheat in the
northwest than last year, whereas for
the whole United States there has
been a, decline. Also building opera
tons projected as shown in permits
granted in nine important cities were
half again as large as a year ago in
the same month. and socks Of retail
ers and wholesalers Of lumber were
much lower than a year ago.
General Survey.
The financial situation in the north
west during December was character
lied by substantial reductions in loans
at the larger city banks. The custom
ers of thirty-five of h larger mem
her banks reduced their borrowings
s14 millions and enabled these banks
at the Minneapolis Federal Reserve
bank. While demand deposits sin
