NEURITIS PAINS LIKE
AN ELECTRIC SHOCK
TO A LOCAL WOMAN

Just recently middle-aged wom-
an of this vicinity told us that she
had suffered years of torture with
neuritic pains. She said she felt
like a sharp knife was being gouged
into her muscles, and sometimes
these pains would strike her like an
electric shock. She said one could
hardly stand it. Today this lady is
again enjoying life, and she says the
change is due to taking RHU-AlD.
Her pains are gone now. No more
feeling like a knife gouged into her
muscles. She is entirely free of her
misery, thanks to this remarkable
compound.
RHU-AID is the new liquid form
ula containing three valuable medi-
cal ingredients. These Three Great
Medicines, all blended into one, go
right to the very cause of rheumatic
and neuritic aches and pains. Miser-
able people soon feel different all
over. So don't go on suffering! Get
RHU AID.

ST. THOMAS, if you remember
dropped from the league at the
conclusion of play last season leav-
ing eight teams in the league. The
talreSt set-up in several years will
prevail this year, as it is now
necessary for each league team to
play each of the others once in
football and twice in basketball.
THE ATHLETIC FIELD, while not
exactly as green as a country club
will be in readiness for the open
ing game, according to Marvin P
Wood, who has been retained to
put it in order. 1t will probably be
necessary to re-seed the field this
fall but it already has as much
grass as several of the other league
fields had for their first games.
New goal posts have been erected
by Wood and the score board at
the far end of the field is now in
position.
BOOSTER CLUB membership
drive will begin the first of the
week and will be concentrated
during the first two weeks of foot
ball. The membership dues are
only $1.00, so everyone interested
in boosting the band, team and the
school is urged to join. This means
a separate ticket for each member
of the family joining the organiza-
ton, consequently the low rate.
L. E. POTTS, president of the
Boosters, announces that plans are
still shaping up for the lights for
the athletic field by the 18th of
September, or in time for the
second home game. Poles, wiring
and lights are promised for that
time ,at any rate. Meanwhile foot
ball equipment is still scarce, al
though the team was able to Sc
cure a few headgears recently.
New equipment will be purchased
when available.
THE BAND filled their last en-
gagement before the start of school
when they played for the home
coming at Mt Ephraim on Labor
Day. According to the nearest
count, this brings the total number
of engagements from the start of
school last year to II, not includ-
ing the numerous times they
drilled and marched at band camp,

FERTILIZER MAN
BALKS AT ORDER

RALEIGH, Jan. 2. - R) -. The
question OF the authority of the
State Board of Agriculture to reg.
ulate the content of fertilizers solo
in North Carolina was taken under
advisement tonight by special
committee of the board after q
hearing in which the authority was
challenged by Ralph Douglas, pres
ident Of a Norfolk, Va, fertilizer
company.
The committee, which Is expect.
ed to make its reconlm endation
tomorrow at meeting here Of the
full board, is composed Of w. B.
Austin Of Jefferson, j. H. Poole
of West End, Claude T. Hall OF
Woodsdale and D. r. holland OF
Waynesville.
They attended today's confer
ence with fertilizer manufa ctur-
ers, farmers and agronomists dur
ing which Douglas defended his
company against charges of manu-
featuring $4,000 tons of tobacco
fertilizer containing 3.5 per cent OF
chlorine in alleged violation Of a
Board OF Agriculture and N. c.
Agriculture Experiment Station
rule which permits a maximum OF
three per cent chlorine.
The conference was called by
D. S. Coltrane, assistant N. c.
Agriculture Commits sioner, who
said the Smith Douglas company
Of Norfolk had manufactured the
fertilizer without consulting the
State Department Of Agriculture
of the Experiment station. He
said experiments indicated small
quantity of chlorine to be helpful
but large amount to be injurious
to tobacco, reducing its burning
qualities and producing a thick,
heavy, soggy leaf which did not
lend itself to proper curing.
He asserted that, since the ex-
periments proved 3:5 per cent Of
chlorine would lower the quality
of the leaf, correction of the $4,000
tons of fertilizer manufactured by
Smith-Douglas lies within the
province Of the Board Of Agricul-
ture.
Douglas promised that no addi-
tional quantities Of fertilizer Of
this type would be manufactured
this season if his company could
secure permission to sell what it
now had on hand.
This brought diverging views
from those attending the confer
ence. A. C. Edwards of Hooker
ton, representing the farm group,
opposed permission to sell, while
Sen. w. G. Clark of Tarboro ex-
pressed the view that it should be
permitted in view of a shortage OF
sulphate of potash and the antici-
pated shortage of tobacco ferti-
lizers in general. 80
