j We have patiently waited upon a j
number of our subscribers during
the dull season, and it has been |
done cheerfully. Now that cotton is
coining in we hope that, they will
kindly remember us. Already some
have called and moved up their figurea
to the right point. Let there
be a general movement in this di-'

As to the School Building.
y The fact'.that a new building is
needed for our graded school is a
selfevident proposition. Leaving out
the questiou of municipal pride the

ties is one that appeals strongly to
every citizen who is broad-minded
enough to desire to give aid and encouragement
to the great cause of
.
education.
It is difficult to believe that any
one with a proper sense of obligation
to bib fellow?men, and especially to
the rising generation, would be so
short-sighted as to oppose something
that is to standWor all the
time to affect the destinies of his
children's children in an everwidening
circle of influence.
With a view to the early realization
of the hopes of those interested
h a
in this matter?and we take it that
this inclu 'es every man and woman
in the town?the time is ripe to consider
means whereby a new building
can be erected and equipped in a
manner to meet the conditions of
modern educational requirements.
There iieem to be two plans under
consideration, either of which appears
to be feasible enough, and the
SCOTT'S
EMULSION
Scott's Emulsion is the
means of life and of the en?joyment
of life of thousands of
anen, women and children.
To the men Scott's Emul.
-sion gives the flesh and
-strength so necessary for the
(Cure of consumption the
repairing of body losses!rom
.-any wasting disease.
For women Scott's Emul
.sion does this and more. It is
a most sustaining food and
tonic for the special trials that
women 'have to bear.
To children Scott's Emulsion
gives food and strength
for growth of flesh and bone
and blood. For pale girls,
for thi'n.and sickly boys Scott's
jEmulisios is a great help.

point at issue is to decide between
the two. With a similar end in
view many towns of the State have
issued bonds to the amount required
and placed them at a low
rate of interest. This miffht be
done in cur case and a handsome!
<
and commodious school building
constructed at a very moderate cost
to the individual tax-payer.
There has been another plan suggested,
however, which to our mind
is the more feasible of the two. The
present town council, we understand,
has agreed to give town's whole
share of the dispensary profits to
the bettering of our school, and we
are informed that there is at the
present time a fund of about $1,000
to the credit of the school. With
this for a nucleus a sufficient amount
could be borrowed to complete the
building, by giving a mortgage of
the completed building as security
to the lender. Then, as the dispensary
profits come in, the revenue
thus derived could^ be applied directly
to the payment of this mortgage,
which could be done easily
within three years, estimating the
disnensarv profits to the town at:
$2,000 annually. l>y this method
the town would be saved the extra
tax of probably one mill' to meet
the interest of bonds, should the
bonding method find general sanction.
Moreover the dispensary
profits would have virtually erected
the building without the advancement
of one cent in taxes on the
part of the town. It strikes us the
latter method is the better one and
that it would l>e generally more acceptable
to the tax-]Kiyers.

Miss Mayme Grayson left last
Friday to lake charge of a school
at Lenud. , The session began on
the following Monday.
Rev William Roof fiiled his
regular appointment here last
Sunday morning at 11 o'clock.
Services will be continued daily
through this week iu the morning
and evening.
It is announced that Rev U F
Oliver will preach at Cedar Grove
Baptist church on Sunday. October
9, at 11 o'clock a. m. The
services will be continued into
the following week.
Cotton picking goes on very
slowl.v as hands are scarce. Most
farmers have picked over once
and the bulk of the crop is in.
The second picking will about
finish the gathering of this crop.
Corn is turning out a satisfactory
yield. The pea crop is good, except
in some places, where it is
shedding. Sweet potatoes are
fine and of good quality.
Last Friday Mr J G McCullough
had his lir.e milch cowkilled
under peculiar circumstances.
The cow, while fastened
by a rope to a slake in the lot,
tried to run through the open
stable door when she turned a
somersault and broke her neck.

The Misses McOlary beg to return
their sincere and heartfelt
thanks to the people of Gourdins
for the kind attention shown toward
us in our bereavement
caused by the death of our beloved
sister. Be assured, dear
friends, that your sympathetic
kindness will ever be gratefully
remembered.
