Proposition to Remove Warrington

School and Make a Four

Years' Course.

A meeting of Brown township citizens was called for Tuesday evening, June 21, to consider the advisability of removing the Warrington High School to Wilkinson, says the Shirley News. Much interest was manifested, especially by the residents of Wilkinson, and a large crowd was present.

The assembly was called to order with J. C. Woods as chairmaS, and the object of the meeting stated. It •was proposed that, in bringing the school to Wilkinson, instead of the three-year course now required, it be placed on the basis of a four-year course and so make it a credit school in accordance with the system throughout the State, whereby graduates of the high school obtain a substantial credit at the colleges. It was also suggested that the railway facilities would enable pupils from Shirley and other places to get the advantage of the high school much easier than at present.

A committee consisting of Messrs. J. O. Justice, D. M. Cooper and WMlard Hopkins was appointed to draw «p the petition and appoint circulators, and another meeting is to be held next week, day not named, to hear reports and for further consideration.

Correct Holding of Steering Wheel There are several excellent ways of holding an automobile wheel, as well as many very awkward ways, but the way the wheel is grasped by racing drivers is probably the best to pattern after. It will be conceded, despite their apparent recklessness, that tne racing drivers handle the steering wheel in the best possible manner.

The right hand firmly grasps the rim just below the horizontal center, with the forearm in a horizontal position, describing a right angle. The left hand is just below the right in the same sectional space made by the spokes of the wTheel.

The worst possible ways to grasp the wheel are above the horizontal center and at diametrically opposite points. The arm muscles under such conditions are at a great disadvantage and body bracing is almost impossible.—Popular Mechanics.

Saved From Awful Death. How an appalling calamity in his family was prevented is told by A. D. McDonald, of Fayette, N. C. R. F. D.' No. S. "My sister had consumption," he writes, "she was very thin and pale, had no appetite and seemed to grow weaker every day, as all remedies failed, till Dr. King's New Discovery was tried, and so completely cured her, that she has not been troubled with a cough since. Its the best medicine I ever saw or heard tell of." For coughs, colds, la grippe, asthma, croup, hemorrhage—all bronchial troubles, it has no equal, 50c, $1.00. Trial bottle free. Guaranteed by M. C.

Has Improved Last Two Weeks. The prospects for the wheat crop have improved greatly within the last two weeks. The dry weather seems to have been just what was needed. The bloom has stayed on and performedits fertilizing function, and the heads of wheat have developed suprisingly. The prospects are 25 per cent better than they were thirty days ago, and the quality now promises to be good. Already the gold tinge of harvest is apprrent and the harvest will soon be here.

New wheat will probably start at eighty to eighty-five cents per bushel.
