THURSDAY, OCT. 7, 197. 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.

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 I St ar. TwO FOB ONK.

The bladder was created for one pm pose, namely, a receptacle for the nriii M and as such it it riot liable to any fuini of disease except by one of two ways The first way is from imperfect action of tbe kidneys.
