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

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

Mr. Banks has relatives in Fort

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.

signee, or to any fictitious person or to (

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 ,

liquor of any kind, unless such package
be so labeled on the outside cover as
to plainly show the name of the consignee,
the nature of its contents and
the quantity contained thereon shall be
fined not more than $5,000; and such
liquor shall be forfeited to the United
States, and may be?seized and condemned
by like proceedings as those
provided by law for the seizure and
forfeiture of property imported into
the United States contrary to the law."
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."
