“I am a rural mail carrier and

Dr. Miles’ Anti-Pain Pills
can’t be beaten. They are the
only thing I have found that wljj
relieve my neuralgia and I have tried
most everything, besides medicine
from the doctor. I am willing to
tell anyone what the Anti-Pain
Pills did for me.”

If you, like Mr. .Hilderbrandt,
“have tried most everything” in

your aches and pains with Dr.
Miles’ Anti-Pain Pills. Let the
pills bear the brunt of the battle.
No matter how stubborn the con

ENT SHOWS
Than School Enumeration For
Jackson County As Report
ed By Superintendent.
County Superintendent W. M.
Shaver has made his annual re
port to State Superintendent
George B. Cook upon school sta
tistics for Jackson county. This
report shows a notable increase
in enrollment but a very small
| increase in children . of school
age.
Following is the report for
year ending June 30th, 1911:
The report this year is com
pared with that of last year as
follows:
Increase in enumeration
of whites is .105
Decrease in enumeration
of colored is. 32
Total gain over last year 73
which is less than one per cent.
Increase in enrollment
of whites is . 172
Increase in enrollment
of colored.212
Total gain over last year 384
which is an increase of nearly 7
per cent.
Increase in daily attend
ance. whites 7R
Increase in daily attend
ance, colored.79
Total increase, daily att’c’e 154
which is an increase of more
than 5 per cent. The gain in the
number of “Branches Taught”
has increased at about the same
rate.
My opinion is that the in
crease in enrollment and at
tendance was much greater than
the figures indicate, inasmuch
as the teachers have been in
structed to keep their registers
so that the summer and winter
sessions will constitute a
“term” Heretofore teachers
have made out a statistical re
port at the close of each session.!
Directors in making their re-;
ports have generally added the;
figure' of both reports together
which indicated a greater on-,
rollment and attendance than!
really existed. -I
The increase in values of all!
school property increased from
$85,370 to $102,760, a gain of
$17,390, or more than 23 per
cent.
The average length of terms
increased from 119 days as
shown by last report, to 126
days for this report.
The average salaries paid
teachers has materially increas
ed with the exception of those
paid third grade females.
Only five teachers that now
hold license were excused from
Institute attendance. All of the
others did not attend the Insti
tutes held in this’ county but
presented certificates of attend
term of every district in the
county, eight or more months;
the employment of the same
i teacher for both the summer
and the winter sessions, where
that plan is followed; that the
work of each grade shall be com
pleted in that time and that pro
motions shall be made only at
the close of the school year; and
that arrangements be made for
| High School work in all districts
that are in position to do this
kind of work.
The above mentioned plans
have, in most instances, met
with the approval of teachers,
pupils, patrons, and school
boards I believe^, that with the
co-operation of all concerned,
that our schools are going to
make great strides along pro
gressive lines.
At the suggestion of the
grand jury of this county, I con
ducted a series of “Directors’
Meetings” and instructed, those
officials how to best comply
with the requirements of the
“Compulsory School Law.”
I believe that the enforcement
of the school law has caused an
increase of 10 per cent in the
enrollment in those districts

NOT ENOUGH
TAGS FOR TAX
Compelled To . Delay Enforce
ment of Feed Tax For
Want of Tags.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, Aug. 10.—Des
pite the fact that 215,000 tags
for mixed feeds, a tax upon
which must be paid in accord
ance with an act of the last leg
islature, have been delivered to
Commissioner Sloan, all the de
mand has not been supplied, and
instead of putting the feed, act
into force on Aug. 10, as was
announced some weeks ago,
Commissioner Sloan has been
forced to put this off until Aug.
15.
He hopes to have an unlimited
supply of tags by that time, but
so far the printers have been
* * . i M. in. .1 .
unauie iu Keep up wun uic
mand, much less get a supply
ahead. Commissioner Sloan has
ordered 1,000,000 tags for im
mediate delivery. He cannot en
force the law rigidly if he has no
tags to sell the feed people who
desire to comply with the law
and express a willingness to buy
them.
Commissioner Sloan has is
sued to the feed dealers a circu
lar letter setting forth exactly
upon what they will be expected
to pay the tax. He says a tax
will be required upon all mixed
feed, and all ground or cracked
feeds whether they are mixed
or not, with the exception of un
| adulterated rye, wheat, corn,
j buckwheat, bran, shorts and
i middlings.
