PLEA FOR ANIMALS AND BIRDS.
Barbarous Methods Used in Securing
Etc.
We are all cranks nowadays. The
man who is not a vegetarian or a
Seventh Day Adventist is probably a
or at least convinced
that Bacon wrote Shakespeare. Ev-
en the humanitarian has come to
stay, and the of
Ward the moral wax

modern
Frankly I am a humanitarian of
the most objectionable type. I even
preach. Worse still, I am accustom-
ed to taking young people in hand,
even before they have absorbed
fashions. I try to suggest
ideals to them. Then they grow
up with a prejudice against the things
I hate. The logical ones find
facts and figures wherewith
to support their preconceived
nations. The stupid ones, the easy-
going ones and the dreamy ones
ply do the things I love, and tell
they that's all.
The artistic folk have never
really liked their person-
attire. Probably the colors,
blood, presented no
objection to the mere artist
who loves rich hues. The skins of
slaughtered animals, which are not
lacking in qualities
when representing the sole cover-
of the noble savage, are
lacking in artistic merit when
regarded as the finish of a civilized
lady's toilet. One looks almost In-
for the tale of scalps to
accompany the skin.
So long as this instinctive dislike
rested on art taste alone, the public
effect of the artist's disgust was
small. Humanitarian ob-
weigh precious little in the
scale of unaccompanied by
substitutes. The new fact Is that
dry goods firms are beginning to
advertise silk seals, imitation furs
and artificial skins, in order con-
to cater for those who
would rather be fashionable than
otherwise, but cannot overcome an
artistic aversion towards apparel

chamber.

Value of a Man.
When a State board of health
makes an of the
value of a human life it is apt
to be rather as to the mere
sentiment of the subject in furnish-
the figures. Yet even from the
showing made in this way, the cost of
a human life from its beginning to
maturity averages quite high. At
twenty years of age the individual
has acquired a value of ac-
cording to the California State Board

is about the same sum. Capitalizing
the man at the age of thirty at per
cent, this circular finds that he is
worth to society about while
his cost for growth maintenance has
been but a clear gain
in thirty years.
This tabulation shows that man
makes very much more than his keep-

Believing that the people of North
Carolina will be interested in know-

will give facts regarding East
Carolina Training school,
which have been gathered from the
records of that institution.
This State school, located in the
town of Greenville, is the only school
of its kind, public or private, in the
State. The school has the one purpose
to better prepare young men and
men for the profession of teaching.
It was established by an act of the
general assembly, ratified the
day of March,

maintaining said school shall be to
give to young white men and women
such education and training as shall
fit and qualify them for teaching in
the public schools of North Caro-
The school first opened its doors
for the reception of students Oct. 5th,
1909. Since that time to the last of
December, 1910, it has enrolled
students, as
Oct. 1909 to May 1910.

The work that is being done here is
certainly by far the greatest for the

have ever known. At the close of this

next eight or ten years. The graduates

could not more than supply

As we see it, the work of the State
at present is to give opportunity to

doing, its work is already being felt

This should not be, especially when
we think of the salary paid these
faithful servants of the State.

a sufficient appropriation for this
school to meet more fully the demands
made upon it, if the teacher of the
school is to be given an opportunity
to prepare for more efficient service.

Atlantic Coast Line Hotel Closed
Saturday night Dec. 1910, the
Atlantic Coast Line hotel closed its
doors for all time to come as a house
of entertainment and at an early date
it will be torn down .
It has been famous in one way or
another for generations and is one of
the largest frame hotel buildings in
the State. The erection of this build-
was first started by President
Byrd, of the Petersburg and Weldon
Railroad, and was completed later by
Moody Jarratt.
This is a building with a history
and it has had some notable
ors during its Among the
well known men who have at various
periods been in charge of this build-
may be mentioned the late Dr.
G. W. Blacknall, who was for years
proprietor of the Yarborough House
in Raleigh. Later it was in charge
of the Happers, Major T. L. Emory
and others. In more recent years
it was known as the Davis House,
run by Colonel Davis up to the time
of its sale to the Atlantic Coast Line
Railroad Company. The railroad
people put in charge and
all trains stopped here for meals.
Mr. Mann was succeeded by Mr. Gaul,
who was popular with the
public. Several years ago the
Atlantic Coast Line leased the prop-
to Gresham and others. Mr.
C. I. Gresham was succeeded by Mr.
L. T. who remained in char-
only a few mouths, and then, on
account of rheumatism, he sold out
C. D. Cherry and others. Mr.
Cherry remained in charge up to the
expiration of the lease, which expired
Saturday night last, and then the
building was closed for all time to
come as a News.

Says The Wilmington Law-

much interest the Associated Press
dispatches in yesterday's papers an-
the of the United
States Supreme Court in declaring
unconstitutional the
of Alabama, because North Car-
has a law on its statute books
very much like the one which has
been enforced In Alabama.
Many lawyers here have for some
lime had their doubts the con-
of the North Carolina
law and have been expecting some
such opinion from highest court
in the land.
The question of the constitutional-
of the law in Alabama was raised
in the case of Bailey, a
Bailey made a contract to
labor as a hand for one year, re-
advanced pay to be re-
turned at the rate of a month
during his service, but quit work after
a month and a few days. He was
rested, convicted and assessed a fine
twice the amount of the advanced
pay, one-half of which was to go to his
former employer and one-half to the
state. The Supreme court of
ma upheld the constitutionality of the
law. The Alabama law is very
to that in force in North Carolina
and many other Southern states. The
North Carolina law is as follows, the
same being Section of the Re-

fraud another, shall obtain any ad-

be grown in the mountainous section
of the State. Incidentally, fertilizer
experiments will be conducted to as-
what fertilizers and
ions of fertilizers are best suited to
the soil types in the mountains on
which tobacco may be grown. Other
experiments will be put under way
from time time as necessity seems
to dictate.

These stations are to be located
with view ascertaining the best

in the old blight tobacco belt of the
Stale and also with the view to
the best fertilizers be used
and their production.
Systematic crop rotations will be
experimented with in order to find
rotation is best for tobacco
in the different sections of the
State.
No land will be purchased for these
stations. The Stale Department of
Agriculture will pay a fair rental for
the land, which will include curing
barn and storage room for the
mental tobacco and other crops; and
all labor and fertilizer bills, in short,
the State Department of Agriculture
pays all running expenses, but
es the proceeds from the sales of all
tobacco and other experimental crops
grown on the station to aid in defray-
running expenses. The
National Department of Agriculture
gives to the State; a tobacco expert.
and pays his salary and expenses to
look after e different stations.

Senator Brown Is lining After So-
Called Pauper Counties.
J. A. Brown, of Columbus.
who i-; named by President
of the senate, as chairman of the
finance committee, declares bis
to go in for a material
the North Carolina method of
tax assessment with a view to equal-
taxation the counties
and lidding the state of the forty-
so-called be-
cause they receive from the stale for
schools and other purposes more
money than they pay into the state
treasury in taxes. He proposes to
getting through the
an act that will create a
rate state tax commission, relieving
the corporation commission of this
duty, and requiring of this
that it equalize taxation by
counties. He would have the com-
mission completely removed from
politics, possibly appointed by the
governor. He would have these com-
missioners confer at the beginning
each assessment period with the
county authorities, meeting the
of the group of counties In con-
railroad centers and explain
just what is expected them in the
light of existing conditions. And he
would clothe them with final author-
to say just what the assessments
must be. Where there are differ-
between the property owners
and the local assessors, be
have appeal go to an intermediate
board, composed of, say five men, one
from each of a group of five
ties. In this way no one county
could be left alone to its as-
so as to deprive the state
of its equitable share of revenue
After this composite board has pass-
ed on the the state tax
commission would have final say as
to all assessments in all counties.
Mr. Brown declares that he sees no
reason why Buncombe county, for in-
stance, should have her farm lands
assessed at per acre and Robe-
county, one of the biggest
cultural counties in the state, assess-
ed at only And he sees no
son why counties like Cumberland,
Chatham, Henderson and others
forty-eight in all, according to the
report of the state treasurer and the
state tax be a
burden to the other progressive
counties. They had best be given to
some other state, he says, or
with others for economy in

that the so-sailed canals are long,

Mileage
As Mr. W. H. G. Belt of Wadesboro
has the railroads of this
section can escape the problem which
President Finley makes lite basis of
his argument for mileage exchange
by simply issuing one class of mile-
age-books Interchangeable with other
roads and one not Interchangeable.
As to the second class there would be
no interline book-keeping at all. This
arrangement would not obviate the
inconveniences which through travel
has suffered since the mileage-ex
Change era began, but many people
would appreciate it and It would save
the railroad argument from such
transparent self-defeat.
The fact is that the real motives
for this step by Southern railroads
have never yet been frankly set forth
by any responsible Official. We do
not take the published statements
seriously, for they are not serious.
Probably it is doing the railroads a
service to say for them what they
shrink from saying themselves, name-
that the only conceivable reason
for a mileage-exchange requirement
on the issuing from sore-
over rate that the
conductors are not trusted as they are
up North or as they were trusted

themselves. A check on them in the
form of mileage coupons was desired

could be very restricted
thereby. The. question arises whether
Southern conductors are less honor-
able than conductors elsewhere

many points this has never been very

additional check which operates no
more effectively than mileage ex-

that it is meant counties that draw
more from the state treasury than
they pay into it. There are of
these counties and there is not one

called a pauper. Iredell with two big
towns, and with two big

oats; worth of
worth of butter The conclusion reach
ed in this special investigation, as ex-
pressed by Agronomist Burgess is that
every farmer should make it a point
to at least raise his own home sup-
plies, no matter to what special crop
his lands and section may be especial-
adapted. He says he would not
expect all counties to raise all their
home supplies, but no reason
why the crop development should not
be brought to that point where the
home supply products the state over
should be such as to practically el-
the heavy drain to which
the state in now being subjected in
purchasing these supplies out of the

It strikes us that Mr. Burgess is
not far wrong in the conclusions he
has arrived at.
Each year large sums of money go
out of the state which could be kept
at home. There is a tendency among
farmers to raise their own supplies,
but, according to these figures, the

for fifteen dollars, telling him that
owed the drug store ten dollars
and that the cheek would settle the
debt. The boy thinking that the

check and returned to the store.
Of course the check was a bogus
one and the grafter has

store lighter as to pocket-book but

PITT COUNTY BOY PROMOTED.
DURHAM LEADS STATE
District Commercial
of W. U. Tel. CO.
It gives us much pleasure to read
in a recent copy of the Charleston,
W. Mail the article below about
a Pitt county boy. The writer has
long felt a strong attachment for Mr.
King, for it was under him that
got his first practical work in a
graph office, and his career and sub-
sequent promotions have watch-
ed with much pride. The Mail
Promotion has come unexpectedly
to Manager S. V. King, of the local
office of the Western Union
graph company. He has been select-
ed to fill the office of district com-
manager for the company,
with his territory covering the whole
of West Virginia and a part of Wes-
tern Maryland. He will assume his
new duties as as he can
into the position from which he
retiring his successor, who will b-
V. L. Brooks, at present chief opera-
tor in the local office.
In recently all th. office
managers to the number of as
well as a number of the officials of
the Western Union, met in the office
of the district commercial
office and had a conference,
at which all present were made ac-
with the new order of con-
duct of the business of the company.
Mr. King WAS one of those present
and the record he has made in his
office here merited him the promo-
he was tendered and which he
accepted. The managers present
were from the State, from
and part of New York State.
Mr. King will likely retain Char-
as his home, but his new
ties will require him to spend a
great deal of his time out of the city.
He will be given a much bigger
salary than he has received here in
the old position.
Will the Cause of Good Roads.
The government through the post-
office department has taken vigorous
steps in behalf of the rural service
that will also tend to build-up the
country. This with especial bearing
on good roads. Fourth Assistant Post
master General has issued an
order, coupled with a number of rec-
or suggestions. The
recommendations are more for
proving the landscape, so to speak,
though such is timely and really
but the former is what rings the
bell. The order Is for postmasters to
keep tab on the rural routes going out
from their respective offices, and re-
port as to the condition of the roads,
If the roads are not kept-up, are not
fit the government will discontinue
the rural route that lies along them,
rather than be placed at great annoy-
and extra expense and impose
hardships on the rural carriers. The
Idea is an excellent one. It is also fair
in every way. It should and will
tend to promote the cause of good
roads building. The rural service is
a great pleasure and benefit to the
people of the country, and also aids
city folks. It keeps the country and
city in close touch. Hence, good roads
he-kept up, not only to aid in
this service, but to help build-up the
country. The counties should not ex-
the government to do everything
every county should help itself.

The census returns on her

Perusal of advertisements has long
made the reading public familiar
with the possibilities of
schools. A modification of the
idea has been adopted by Clemson
College, which announces that hence
forward it will teach fanning by mail.
Text-books have been selected cover-
such subjects as soil, tillage, fer-
domestic animals, etc. Upon
the of a student in this
course and his purchase of the
ed text-books a lesson will be assign-
ed. When he notifies the college
that the lesson is prepared,
a set of examination papers will be
sent him together with the assign-
of the next lesson. His replies
will be carefully corrected at the
college and returned to him, and if
necessary a second correction will be
prepared if he does not to
have grasped the meaning of the first.
Such a course has great
ties. Purely theoretical, it is intend-
ed for pupils of all ages who will re-
plenty of practical experience
in the earning of their daily bread,
and to such it should prove of distinct
benefit. agricultural population

TAFT VANDYKE
to General Assembly.
Raleigh, N. C, Jan.
of State Superintendent
of Public Instruction, J. Y. Joyner, to
the general assembly as to the
needs of public education In
North Carolina, were made public to-
day. He asks that no radical changes
be made in the present laws. He
wants not less than
for country farm-life high
schools. Also he wants an increase
of In the appropriation for
high schools. Furthermore, he
wants the State University, the A.
M. College at Raleigh, and the State
Normal College in Greensboro, to be
required to hold summer schools each
year in which there shall be special
training of public teachers
and those intending to teach, no
charge hi the way of tuition to be
made. He wants the minimum pay
for second grade teachers to be fixed
at instead of
Mr. Joyner declares that he regards
it just and wise that wherever com-
mien can be found in the mi-
party that they be given place
on the county boards of education.
He says the method of selection
should be made uniform and calls at-
to the fact that six counties
now elect their own school boards,
whereas, all the others are named by
legislative enactment. The infer-
is that he favors the legislative
method.
Mr. Joyner wants the State tax for
public schools increased from
cents on the to cents, to
lengthen the school term and improve
facilities. He wants the conditions
governing the distribution of the
second for assuring four
months of school changed so that
counties must levy at least a ten cent,
instead of a five cent special prop-
tax.
Another change in the present law
asked by Mr. Joyner is that equitable
machinery be provided for adjusting
local special district taxation in
es where the whole county votes a
special tax after the creation of the
district tax districts. He wants the
salary of the secretary of the State
Board of Examiners to be increased
to on account of his increasing
duties. He asks that there be changes
in the State Text Book Commission
law so that the adoption shall apply
to the city as well as the rural schools
He asks also that there be provisions
made for the addition of practical
teachers to the Text Book
now of the State
constituting the State Board of
Education. He approves the present
system of having a sub-commission,
composed exclusively of teachers to
pass on the merits of the books of-
and would have practical teach-
added to the commission
of teachers to pass on
the merits of the books offered, as
now to take part in the
final adoption. He insists, though
that the State officers should retain
their voice in the financial problem
that is involved in the adoption. He
wants the sub-committee to meet
with the commission and have equal
vote in adoption.

BIG STORE HOME FOR EVERYBODY
A Promising Girl.
Miss Ruby E. Colby, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Colby, of
and rode the mowing ma-
chine last summer behind a pair of
three-year-old steers to mow acres
of grass. Miss Ruby is one of the
leading scholars In Erskine school,
since her eighth year she has ex-
at the South Ag-
fair butter, all kinds
cookery, plain sewing, and fancy
work of every description, and her
work has taken the first premium in
the office of one of the large firms
of Boston; but her parents desire
her to remain in
Press.
More power to Ruby and may her
tribe increase. Not in the gum-
chewing assemblies of giggling girls,
nor yet in the romantic environ-
of dimly-lighted parlors has.
she selected to shine. No; her field
of endeavor is the plow-field and
the kitchen. For her, God's free air
and sunshine have a greater charm
than the atmosphere of the
ball-room. There is a great future
In store for Ruby, and some man
is to be blessed In this generation.
We would like, however, urge gen-
emulation of this young girl's
example in the plowing line, but
her apparent knowledge of domestic
science is something to be envied.
When we consider her future cook-
possibilities and the promise of
her prowess in cake making, It would
seem that she was endowed above
many girls of today, whose boast it
is to lead In the world of
and Ruby's agricultural
talents will not appeal so to
the average man, but they are not
to be sneezed at.
Still, there is hope for the next
generation in that many of the lead-
schools and young colleges
are giving courses in domestic sci-
not, of course, with a view of
letting the future wives of the
graduate to the kitchen, but that
they might have a knowledge which
will fit them to preside over the
destinies of their households. The
servant problem which exists today
is largely the result of the fact -that
the modern believes that
she knows more than her mistress
about household management. In
the day when she sees her mistake,
in that day will the problem become
less of a Citizen.

Cotton Weevil Field.
Mr. James B. Allen, a farmer of
Port Gibson, Miss., has been
with the cultivation of cotton
in the boll weevil belt. Through in-
cultivation, fertilization and
the use of powdered arsenate of lead,
he claims to have put the weevil out
of business. Mr. Allen furnishes The
New Orleans Picayune with a detail-
ed report of his experiment, which
was made on land where previously
the weevil had made all cotton
unprofitable. The Picayune
says that the cotton in which
teen varieties entered into the
was planted under ordinary
conditions, in well cultivated and
highly fertilized soil, and after the
squares commenced to form the
plants were treated with the powder-
ed arsenate of lead, after as many
of the as possible were pick-
ed off by hand. The good results
which these experiments show in
pounds of lint and seed per acre and
I the excellent money returns, hold out
; high hopes that if other farmers in
the boll weevil districts adopt the
same measures they will achieve
success. It shows that some ad-
has been made in the
of growing cotton and wee-

Why Not Turn This Tide.
During the year Just ended one
hundred and fifty thousand people of
the United Slates, many of whom are
farmers and nearly all of whom come
from hardy Teutonic stock, moved
across the northwestern border and
settled In Canada. They will become
citizens of that country, developing
its wilderness, enriching its
and adding to its national
strength.
One hundred and fifty thousand
producers of wealth have left us
within a single twelve months. The
number is considerably greater than
it was in 1909 and , according to the
forecast of the Canadian immigration
department, it will be greater still
at the end of 1911.
Such a record is of vital concern
to every quarter of the Union and
particularly so to the South. For it
is in this section that these thous-
ands of land seekers should logically
settle. It would be a conservative
estimate to say that the emigration to
Canada last year meant a loss of
one hundred million dollars to our
own country. A nation has no asset
more valuable than the man who
works. Labor is of itself a source
of community wealth and social
fare. Every farmer that moves from
a country, not overcrowded, is a loss
to that country.
And he is likewise a gain to land
whither he goes. Had the tide of
emigration from the northwest been
southward instead of toward Canada
our whole union would be richer to-
day and our own section would be
incalculably so.
The South neither desires nor needs
that sort of immigration which flows
in from the muck piles of the Old
World, but she should welcome the
men whose veins hold the blood of
her own forbears and whose hon-
est industry would add to the wealth
of her
The Immigration department of
Canada is carrying on a vigorous
systematic campaign to secure set-
from our northwestern states.
