Drink Water If
Kidneys Bother
Take a Tablespoonful of Salts if
Back Pains or Bladder is
Irritated
Hush your kidneys by drinking a quart
o.i water cadi day, also take salts occa
sionally, rays a noted authority, who
tempos that too much licit food forms
acids which almost paralyze the kidneys
mijjneir efforts to expel it from the
blood. '1 hey become sluggish anti
weaken; then you may suffer with a
dim, misery in the kidnev region, shun
>ojA5 in the back or sick headache, dizzi
ness, your stomach sours, tongue r
coated, and when the weather is bad
you have rheumatic twinges. The urine
gets .cloudy, mu of sediment, the clian-
i^.Ts often get sore and irritated, oblig
es A’°u 1° s °tk relief two or three
times during the night,
To help neutralize these irritating
acids; to lieip cleanse the kidneys and
flush off the body’s urinouS waste, get
four ounces of Jad Salts from any phar
macy here. Take a tablespoonful in a
glass of water before breakfast for a
few' days, and your kidneys may then
act fine. This famous salts is made from
the acid of grapes and lemon juice, com
bined with lithia, and has been used for
years to help flush and stimulate slug
gish kidneys; also to neutralize the acids
in the system so they no longer irritate,
thus often relieving bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; can not in
jure and makes a delightful efferves
cent lithia-water drink. By all means
have your physician examine your kid
neys at least twice a year.

"1 have had trouble with
an inactive liver,” wrote Mrs.
S. Nichols, of 4412 Spencer ff
St., Houston, Texas. “When M
1 would get constipated, I would »
feel a fight, dizzy feeling in my g
head. To get up in the morning ft
with a lightness in the head and N
a trembly feeling is often a sign •
that the stomach is out of order. I
For this 1 took Thedford’s

Black-Draught, and without a ^
doubt can say I have never ^
found its equal in any liver £
medicine. It not only cleans g)
the liver, but leaves you in such ft
a good condition. I have used
it a long time, when food does
not seem to set well, or the
stomach is a little sour.”

have to bo doin' and 1 her by eliminate
some of the teachers, so that those re
tained might be paid morel >
Why can wo not live within our in-
I tome temporarily at least until business
becomes more stable and certainf Oar-
roll county made a good cotton crop
this year, but look at the gia reports
and see what some other counties are
j making this year which made tremen-
, dons crops last year. Look at adjoin-
i ing counties. We have no assurance
! that Carroll will make n liig crop an-
I other year and judging from tho history
of other counties wo may reasonably
expect the contrary.
Have we forgotten ottr financial
straits of 1920 and 1921 when tho
“City Fathers” allowed many to pay
their taxes on the Installment plan, and
some are not paid Tot? When business
went to the bad and we were harrassod
by bills wo could not pay? Tho Chair
man of the Board claims that tuition
which is now $2.00 cannot he raised,
hoenuso the people are unable to pay
moro, although somo of tho teachers
are telling the pupils that unless tho
(axes are increased that the tuition will
be doubled, hftiw wo are not in favor
of increasing the tuition, and wo think
tiro Board should go one step further
and cut out some unnecessary expenses
that aro forced upon tho pupils and
parents. There was a ‘‘High School
Annual” last your at a cost of about
$750.00 which tlio patrons were sup
posed to buy at $2.00 each. In addi
tion to the cost of the printing, thoro
was the cost of the photographs,
plates, negatives and group pictures,
etc. Who pays tho expense of tho chil
dren running ovor tho country playing
basket ball base ball and foot ball?
Who pays for the uniforms, tho rail
road expenses and automobile expenses ?
Athletics aro good to a certain extent
but thoro should bo a limit to every
thing. Who pays for the moving pic
ture machine that cost about $400.00 in
order to show the lUtlo fellow that the
world is round? How about the music
boxes for the children to march by, in
stead of tho good old-timo ‘‘Hep, Hop,
Hep” and the good old whistle? How
about electricity to play hall at nghit
and run electric ranges to bnko cakes
for tho good ladles? Well, you say
that the Hoard don’t pay for those
tilings. Suppose they don't, the pat
rons do and they are the ones who pay
the taxes. Thrift, and economy are un
known practices and lost arts, so far as
our schools are concerned.
Mr. and Mrs. Non-Resident coining
into Carrollton, up Depot street, no
t ceil a banner across the street adver-
tinin a poultry show. This banner
aroused in Mrs. Non Resident a desire
i to see the chickens in tho show. She
was successful in getting Mr. Non-Resi
dent to stop and sec it. As Mr. nnd
Mrs. Non-Resident approached tho door,
. Mr. Non-Resident ran his hand in his
pocket to get some money to pay thoir
entrance fee.. Ho was informod thnt
there was no charge. This causdd a
surprised look to come ovor his faco.
but lie said nothing. They were shown
through, nnd their sovcrnl questions
were courteously answered. Whon they
had fiinishsd scejng tho show they ask
ed how an expensive show as this was
put on and no ndmittnnco foe charged.
His question was answered by showing
him tho following list of firms nnd in
dividuals who by their contributions
had made this show possible:

Then, too, if wo continue to mnko
good crops in t'arrol! county our taxa
ble property ou perSonh Ity will gradu
ally go back to normal, about $850,000,-
00 more than at present and at the rate
of 5 1-2 mills this would give our
schools nu additional annual income of
$11,000.00, which added to the present,
'income of $29,000.00 would be sufficient
to pay alt expenses. Bo there is noth
ing to bo alarmed about.
Our city is compared with about six
other towns and figures are presented to
show that wo have a lower tax rate anil
pay less for school purposes than sim
ilar towns in Georgia. It depends on
who is doing the figuring as to the re
sult obtained. Thre are nt least 100
towns in Georgia having a population
within the range of tho towns they se
lect. Why aro only about six selected?
Don’t you think it reasonable to as
sume that all oxcept thoBO six towns
havo the same or a lower tax rate than
Carrollton has, else why should they se
lect only those six for comparison.
They don’t tell how many miles of
paved streets Nownan has, how many
LaGrango has or how many the other
towns have. They select Tyus district
nnd the Chairman says that tho taxes
are 15 mills in thnt district. He don’t
tell you that out of this tax, Tyus dis
trict pays the current expenses of tho
school, and also the principal and inter
est. on* tho bcvpds for their building.
Carrollton pays with the 5 1-2 mills
only tho current expenses and an ad
ditional tax is levied to pay the princi
pal and interest on the school bonds,
amounting to about $150,006.00. Car
rollton’s total tax for school purposes
is about 10 mills. If tho rate were 10
mills going directly to the School Board,
judging the future by tho past, they
would spend every dollar of it and go
in debt besides and still they would be
crying for more money.
They sav teachers are paid more in
other towns but they dqn’t tell how
many teachers they have.' If we had
only half as many teachers as we now
have, they could receive twice as much
•as they are now receiving.
They say tho walls of the building
on College street arc dirty; that the
heating plant at Maple stroot school
has gone bad and the negro school needs
repairs. Yes, and they will still bo iu
the same condition after tire taxes are
raised. This is tho same cry and speil
'hat was made to get the people to vote
:• $100,000.00 bond issue about two
years ago.
We suspect that if the truth was
known the Board wants this additional
money so that they can fill up the hol
low back of tho High School building,
(and four sacks of feed)

They say their school will be drop
ped from the ‘‘accredited” list, what
ever this iB. It must mean that gradu- !
ates of our school get something tho.y |
are not entitled to. If they lcavo our
school properly trained in the essentials
of public school education they will bo
ACCREDITED every where they go,
but lacking in this they will be DIS
CREDITED wherever they go. ‘‘Keep
ing up with the Jones” is what is ruin
ing this country.
We believe in good schools. We want
as good schools as any town—our size.
Wo will comparo our school buildings,
plants, teachers and everything with
any other town tho size of Car^ollt.on
and wo will not be ashamed of our
school. The trutn is there is nothing to
this matter—just a tempest in a Tea
Pot—‘‘much-a-do about nothing.”
