' ?? Z~1 School Work for November. We have completed our third month of the school session and we believe that the last month was the best that we have ever had. As a rule, the work done was excellent and the attendcr.ce was all that could be expected. There are but few who will r.ot l?e promoted on account of inat1 cndance. I must again call attention to the lamentable fact that some parents do not remind their childien to study at home. I do not mean that parents should teach their children, but that they should see to it that their children observe some study hour during the afternoon and in the evening. We shall do the teaching. Some do not have to be told to study. They are interested and are anxious to study; others are interested and would study if only reminded to do so at home; but when there are so many pleausres given, granted, or | permitted by the parents, the average child loses interest as soon as he is out of school and it will require great teachers indeed to counteract the result. We can whip the child or keep him in for missing his lessons but that does not cause him to love the teachers or the school by any means; whereas, if they were reminded to do some of their work at home, they would know them and love the teachers and the school. They would love their parents none the less for that cooperation with the teachers that would mean so much to all concerned. Those who are perfect in attendance and punctuality and get no demerits are placed on roll of honor each month. The following won that distinction the past month: Tenth grade?Carrie Merritt. Ninth grade?Sam Lee, Juanita Erwin, Ola Crowder, Isabelle Massey, Esther McMurray, Julia Boyd.

A matter of considerable interest in this section is theannoucement that Mr. Howard Banks has given up the position of city j editor of the Charlotte News, which he has held for several years, and will move to Hickory, N. C., to become editor of the Hickory Democrat. Mr. Banks is a man of wide newspaper experience and has made The News a better paper than it was before he became associated with it. His first newspaper work is said fr* ho\ro hnn>-> 41 ^1 unu uunc iur uic crnarlotte Observer about 20 years a pro when he reported the chase and killing of a wild hear in this township which was thought to have wandered to this section from the swamps in one of the low-country counties of the State. Mr. Banks has relatives in Fort Mill but has not been a frequent visitor here since his kinsman, Dr. J. B. Mack, moved to Georgia some years ago. num: TO U ord it."?Why?

Beginning with January 1, 1910, the ? act of congress to codify, revise and i amend the penal laws of the United < State9, which was approved by the president on March 4 last, goes into i effect. This is one of the most important laws enacted by the last congress. The advocates of prohibition are i greatly pleased as Sections 238-39 and 240 of Chapter 9, covering offenses against foreign and interstate commerce, if enforced, will practically make effective the prohibition laws in ] the several States. It is said that the sections named were carefully considered by the judici- 1 ary committee of the senate and that 1 the unanimous opinion of the com- ] mittee was that the aforesaid sections ' are strictly within the constitution. In ! their opinion railroad companies, ex- 1 press companies or any other common ] carriers will go slow in any attempt to i evade the law. Section 238 imposes a fine of not more than $5,000or imprison- I ment for not more than two years, or ] both, uj)on "auy officer, agent or em- 1 ploye of any railroad company, express company, or other common carrier, who shall knowingly deliyer or cause ( to be delivered to any person other than the person to whom it has been consigned. unless upon the written order in each instance of the bona fide con- , signee, or to any fictitious person or to ( any person under a fictitious name, any | spirituous, vinous, malted, fermented. I or other intoxicating liquor of any kind 1 which has been shipped from one State, Territory or district of the United i States, or place noncontiguous to but 1 subject to the jurisdiction thereof, into any other State, Territory, or district ( of the United States, or place noncontiguous to but subject to the jurisdiction thereof or from any foreign , country into any State, Territory, or , district of the United States, or place i noncontiguous to but subject to the ' jurisdiction thereof." Section 240 provides: "Whoever shall , knowingly ship or cause to be shipped i * * * any package of or package containing any spirituous, vinous, malted, fermented, or any intoxicating ! < I BER FE INS1 its per week will insure the lif< family from want in the event my family well provided for." today may prove worthless nably in good health.

The leading lawyers of the senate judiciary committee say that these amendments to the penal code of the United States ought to make effective the prohibition laws of. the severai States and that while there are pend ing in me judiciary committee several bills the object of which is to place all liquors shipped into a prohibition State under the police powers of such State, in their judgement the enforcement of the penal code will make additional legislation unnecessary. It is aaid that a copy of this section of the penal code will be printed and forwarded to all railroads and express companies of the United States with a notification that the law officers of the government will see to it that the Bections referred to are strictly enforced. Leaders of the various temperance associations and societies throughout the country, especially in States where prohibition prevails, will keep a careful watch on all suspected persons. Law officers of the government believe that after January, 1910, the practice which now prevails of express companies acting as agents for those~who violate the prohibition law of their State will cease, and no longer will whiskey and other intoxicants be shipped into prohibition States and communities under the guise of "Paradise Lost" and "Paradise Found," or "rubber boots" or "rubber coats," or "sample hats."
