THE BOARD REPLIES*
TO THE STRICTURE OF THE
GRAND JURY.
‘•From evidence produced before
tliis body, it appearing that the
County Board of Education has failed
to perform their full duty in not es
tablishing (schools at the Line, Mt.
Olive, Griffin’* and Springs, we rec
ommend that schools be established
at these places, fur the year 1898,
and that Mrs. Jerush.i Langston be
paid a pro rata share of the school
fund for the school taught aC. Mt-
Olive school house for this year.
We have the highest rega.d per
r.ontily for the members of the Grand
jury, nud we cannot believe tba*
they would intentionally wrong the
Board of Education, but the above
statement piloted from the proceed
ings of the Integrand jury is calcu
lated to do the Board an injustice.
It has riot been the policy of the
Board to deprive any of our citizens
of theif fnll share in the distribution
of (he school fund. Neither have
they failed in any instance to estnb
lllih Bchools t any places where they
fihVc been unstained by the people.
On the other hand they are anxious
to co-operate with the people and
help and encourage the building of
new school houses. It must be ad
yfcitted that they are badly needed at
some of the places mentioned by the
grand jury. The tact is that schools
have been running regularly at all of
the places mentioned, with the ex
ccption of Mt- Olivet, and at that
place the people failed to sustain a
school. The leport of the last school
tapghi there shows an average daily
attendant' of little more than a
dozen pupils, and some of the ethers
are almost as bad-
If a scho, 1 languishes and dies for
want of patronage, and fot the want
of a little attention on the part of the
people dont charge such failure to
the Board of Education.
11 sometimes becomes a waste of
public money to keep up a school at
ii place because the people
prefer to send to other and better
schools This again is not the fault
of the Board.
The Board bad not established
schools at any place in the county
f..r 1898 at the time of meeting of
the Grand Jury. At the last meet
ing.
This matter was before the Board
and schools were talked about at
several placet*, and it was thought
that the people would take hold of
the matter and provide suitable build
ings Where they needed them, and
in this the Board intended to eo oper
ate and assist. In this way the mat -
ter was passed for the time.
Would it not be much better for
tbe [ eople to get together, and make
substantial improvement in this dir
ection? Is it net to their interest to
do so? They have to pay taxes, like
the rest of us, and if they would pro
vide suitable accommodations for
teachers aod pupils, instead of find
ing fault with the Board and results
would be far more satisfactory and
infinitely more adrantagious to
the minds of tbe young.
Thus they would get the benefit
of the public school iuud, anti reap
the rewards of their hard-earned
taxes
This is not given iu any spirit of
fault finding, but rather ns as ex
hortation; and we hope to see our
friends aioitse themselves to tho im
portance of this matter, and we as
sure them that they will not find any
opposition on the part of the Board.
It is the desire of the Board to so
administer the county funds as to
give every little child the advantage
of a comfortable school, and a faith
ful, competent teacher, within two
miles of home, in every instance if
possible.
We cannot belieTQ that <wr Grand 1
jurymen hud all the facts before
•sJrcm him they passed the itiolatiwis
referred to, but they must know that
we da not desire to stop any school,
but rather to enconrage them; and
we are glad to know that ir friend,
of the Liiib neighborhood will under
stand the matter, because a move
rnejit is rn fool iinnuig them to build
anew boils. ■; and when people settle
sic h matters among themselves it is
much better than arbitrary action of
anv Board, it matters not bow wise
they may be. But if they fail, in
this it is* likely that someone will
teach again nt the old stand.
We entertain the highest regard
for the members of the Grand Jury,
but w* must believe that Hie evidence
before them was very imperfect or
misleading.
A few statesmen, of a theoretically
turn of mine], aru always equal to the
task of misleading the puplie. Their
most potent weapons are corpirig
criticism, ami suspicious fault-finding.
There is always t'sometbiiig wrong ’
“rotten at the core”—“dead up the
branch”—and the grand jury room is
their favorite dumping ground. To
obtain official recognition they load
themselves with grievances and wait
till the grand jury meets and like a
blunderbuss loaded with ill smells,
they turn themselves loose. But
these fault-finders, we notice are
very slow in the matter of making
contributions.
The grand jury’s recommendations
as to teaching for 5 cents per day
amounts t nothing because most of
the teachers have rates of tuition
much that amount.
Adopted by the Board in Session
oct. sth, 1897.
A few weeks ago the editor was ta
ken with very severe cold that caused
him to be in a most miserable condi
tion. It was undoubtedly a bad case
of la grippe and recognizing it as dan
gerours he took immediate steps to
bring about a speedy cure. From the
advertisement of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy and the many good recom
mendations included therein, we con
cluded to made a first trial of the med
icine. To say that it was satisfactory
in its results, is putting it very mildly,
indeed. It octed like magic and the
result was a speedy and permanent
cure. We have no hesitancy in recom
mending this excellent Gough Remedy
to any one offlicted with a cough or
cold in any form.—The Banner of Lib
erty, Liberty town, Maryland. The 25

A good exercise for the spinal mus
cles consists of the following move
ments: Stand erect, with the feet to
gether, and rise upon the toes, then
gradually sink down by bending tbe
knees until the thigh and calf are
doubled noon eaeli other. Ihe trunk
should be erect all the time, and
especial attention paid to the spine
keeping it Si might. If a person wilj
remove tbe clothing and hang by the
arms, all tension is removed from tho
spine, and a second person can deter
mine if the spinal curvature can he
removed or not. If, when hanging
in this position, the spine is straight,
there is no reason why it cannot be
cured, but if it is crooked when hang
ing, there is little hope of doing more
than keeping it from growing worse,
and this is very important- In the
department of medieo gymnastics in
a large gymnasium, this is the way
they examiue such cases. A teacher
says; “Any movements which do
not present any outside resisting force
(meaning apparatus) can he safely
taken to benefit slight spinal curva
ture.”—New York Ledger.
It is reported of Artemus Ward that
lie once offered bis flask of whiskey
to the draver of the stage on the top
of ■ Inch he was riding through a
mountainous section. Ihe stage dri
ver refused the flask tn most decided
tones. Said he; 1 don’t drink; I
won’t drink, I don’t 'like to see any- \
body else drink. lam of the opinion
of those mountains —keep your top
cool. They’ve got snow and I’ve
got brains; that’s all the difference - ”
There is a great d*-al of wisdom in
his remark, “Keep your top cool.”
Witnout a Found brain man is not of
much use to the world. Alcohol,
whether in beer, eider, wine, brandy
or whisky, is a foe to the brain; and
when it gets there inflames it, and
renders it unfit for use. Be like the
honest stage driver, and resolve to
keep your top cool. —The Southern

The bladder was created for one pm
pose, namely, a receptacle for the nriii M

The first way is from imperfect action

from careless local treatment of other
diseases.
CHIEF CAUSE
Unhealthy urine from unhealthy !
kidneys is the chief cause of bladder,
tsoitbles. So the womb, like the bladder I

weakness or dissease, except in rare
cases* It is situated buck of and vciv
close to the blad 'hr, therfeore any pain
