The in presentation of the
diplomas and Bibles to the class was
made by ex-Governor T. J. Jarvis.
He said he did not want to minimize
the work of any other school. It
was not h's privilege to Attend the

any citizen of the state. He loved

and a charge couched in
most beautiful words to put forth their
best efforts as they go out in the
service of their state.
Miss for the graduates,
stated that the class of 1911, in
keeping with the motto,
wished to leave some concrete
of appreciation of what had
been done for them, by
to the school to be used
as a student's fund. This was
greeted with great applause, and
President Wright said it came as a
surprise to all except the class them-
selves.
President Wright gave some
concerning the school. He
said the man entitled to the credit
more than any other for paving the
way to establishing this school, was
County Superintendent W. H. Rags-
dale. The work he had done in ad-
showed the need for It. True
his efforts could not have amounted
to much but for the help of others,
and one other especially mention-
ed was ex-Governor Jarvis. As a
testimonial to them the literary so-
of the school had prepared
resolutions which met the approval
of the faculty, and which he had
been asked to read. The resolutions
were as
Resolutions.
The following joint resolution was
adopted by the Lanier Literary So-
and the Edgar Allen Poe Lit-
Society of the East Carolina
Training school,
day evening, May 20th, 1911, and
proved by the faculty May
As a testimonial of the deep debt
of gratitude we owe to, and the sin-
love and appreciation we have
for Mr. W. H. in whose
brain the East Carolina
Training school first had its
and whose enthusiastic efforts,
untiring zeal and rare professional
spirit created the desire in the minds
and the hearts of others, and as a
testimonial of the debt of gratitude
and sincere love and appreciation
we have for Governor Jarvis whose
mind at once caught the significance
and worth of such an institution to
the people and children of the
North which he loves so -dear-
whose rare gifts or organization
and leadership made it possible to
bring this school to this splendid
reality .
Be It Resolved, That the Lanier
Literary Society and the Edgar Allen
Poe Literary think and be-
that the feeling of love and
which the school has for
its founders, Mr. W. H. and
Governor T. J. Jarvis, should find
expression in some fitting concrete
form that would have a permanent
place upon the walls of our school to
serve as a constant reminder of the
debt of gratitude we owe these men
to be a constant inspiration to all
to be of service to his fellow man;
Be It Resolved, That no more fit-
ting testimonial could we have than
portraits of these men in oil, paint-
ed by a good portrait artist.
Be It Resolved, That the Lanier
Literary in conjunction with

put forth every effort to carry

Be It Resolved, That the ways and
means for carrying out the
ions of these resolutions be left to
a committee consisting of two

two members from the Edgar

members from the faculty.
Be It Resolved, That these

Mr. Daniels Says Good
Things About The School And
And County
People Are Alive To Progress And
Good Things Generally.
Mr. Daniels, editor of the
Raleigh News and Observer, who de-
livered the literary address at the
recent commencement of East Caro-
Training School, had
much to say in his paper about the
school, and the progress of Green-
ville and Pitt county. We give
low an extract from his
The great need of North Carolina
today is trained teachers. Our
revival halts just here.
men and women everywhere are
teaching children for the love of it,
because the compensation in most
districts is so small as to give
hardly the bread without any butter.
The teachers are trying to
make bricks without straw. They
recognize their lack of training, and
rejoice that this school here has es-
a one-year course for
teachers, which is going to be
one of the most popular things it has
ever done, and one of the most use-
as well. These practical teachers
will go back to their schools much
better equipped for their task, but
the crying need is for teachers who
are making a profession of teaching,
who have been trained in some col-
like this for teaching, and this is
the great work that is being done
here. It is no credit to the state, and,
indeed, it is a shame, that the
for this college is not
to enable the authorities to take
all the persons who desire to secure
its training. I feel sure that when
the people know the great work that
is being done here, public sentiment
will demand such appropriations as
will enable President Wright and
Governor Jarvis and the trustees to
advertise that the institution is to be
enlarged and will be big enough to
hold every young woman in Eastern
North Carolina who wishes the best
training for teaching.
Greenville is proud of the Training
School. It has always been a good
business town, but did not grow rap-
idly for years, because it lacked the
spirit of co-operation among its pro-
people. The organized
pose to secure the East Carolina
Training School showed
the business men what could be ac-
by working together.
That organized effort, crowned with
success, was Greenville's awakening,
and since that day it has gone for-
ward by leaps and bounds. It grows
day and night, and seems to work
overtime. No town in the state has
grown more in the past ten years,
and much building is now going on.
The new court house, being erected,
is to be one of the most commanding
and beautiful structures in the state.

CATCHING CONTEST.
Legs Now Ripe And The Spoil Is
On.
This is the time, from bog and
swamp, and river bank, a
splendid bass for
legs arc in season. The wily
epicure has evolved many schemes
for apprehending this delicacy, but
it remained for Mr. J. C. Tyson, city
clerk, to introduce a method that, for
him at least, is quite a success, as it
insures legs and perch on the
same trip with one equipment. Mr.
Tyson takes hook and line and bait
for thus at the outset dis-
arming the frog of suspicion, which,
sitting upon the river bank, thinks
he is watching a man catch fish. And
so lie is for awhile, but with one eye
on the frog, and gradually
the fisherman proceeds until
within the length of his pole. The
next move is to pretend to be bat-
the hook, but the bait is removed,
and with a deft movement of the wrist
the back-action for a cast is
until the nuked hook reaches a
spot directly under the chin of the
frog, when a reverse movement drives
the point through the lower lip, and
the astonished and justly bewildered
frog is lifted into the boat. It's very
simple, really, and there is no patent
on the process.

A STORY OF THE
HORRORS OF WAR
ONE OF THE SCENES OF AGO
As Told By Our
Hanrahan, N. C, May 1911.
Sic transmit too soon the joys of
life
Sic too soon life's sorrows and
strife.
It is not my purpose to portray, if
I could, the horrors of war, for those
things are passed, nor. to vilify I the
North. I love the North and rejoice
that she saved the union, and am
glad that she freed the slaves. Nor
is it my purpose try to defend our
beloved South she needs no de-
at any for her brave
sons fought for what they then deem-
ed was just and right. What shall
say of the war is to show the time
and what caused one among many
heroes to be so poor.
On the next morning after our visit
to that neat but humble home, my
mother and father was too old
to go to the were sitting around
our fireside and my mother was tell-
him what Mrs. Meadows had told
her yesterday about Capt. Buchanan's
company brother, Isaac, be-
longed to his who were
then garrisoned at Fort Fisher. She
said that Mrs. Meadows had told her
that Eugene's that is what she
lovingly called sick furlough

he was trying to get up as much wood
as he could for her and the children
to have during the winter. My
had sent Sam and a colored man
over there that morning with wagons
to haul the wood for him. While
papa and mother were Sam
came running one of the wagon horses
at full speed. Mother seeing him
coming went out. As he stopped the
horse, Sam's eyes were bucked with
horrors depicted on his face.
he muttered, great big

he had sent to help him, drove back
to the farm and gathered up three
of the men, went back and
with their help cared for and

were no white men in that community.
They were all off to the war.
Next day father and one other old
white man, and four colored men that
my father carried from the farm,
buried in a rude pine coffin fastened
by wrought nails hammered out in
the shop on the farm.
After a few days, without the aid of
a doctor, or medical aid of any kind,
except that which sometimes is the
very best kind, because it is the
and most commonplace, my
mother gave her teas from herbs that
she always had growing in her garden
and daily carried her as nourishing
food as these times of war would
ford, Mrs. Meadows was to some ex-
tent recovered from her terrible
shock and began anew to struggle
for the of those two
sweet children, as she had done for
three long years, indeed, those
were long since her true and
kind husband had been in the war.
After Mrs. Meadows had recovered
sufficiently to resume her work, every
few days my mother would go over
there. I always begged to go with
her, and most times I went. They
would talk of the war and especially
of the boys at Fort Fisher, for there
was where most of the boys from
that part of Wayne were garrisoned.
So the winter wore away and nature
that had been slumbering, as do
many people as to vital questions,
awoke to spring. be

all in her power to comfort her, by
her that there was a loving
Father who rules on high, who has
promised to be a Father to the father-
less and a friend to the widow. But,
said the grief-stricken and devoted
woman, God does not promise to fill
a husband's place and He can only
show His fatherhood to the children
through the of a true
and fatherly man. Mother could not
answer these arguments, for there
were no homes then in our state for
orphan children. So mother could
only weep with her who wept, and
do what she could to comfort and
care for the fatherless children.

The American Tobacco Company
and its accessories and subordinate

held by the Supreme court of the
United States to be co-operators in
a combination illegal under the Sher-

the case back to the lower court with
directions to hear further the par-

and dissented in part.
The tobacco trust decision is char-
by Attorney-General Wick-
as a most comprehensive and
sweeping victory for the government.
The trust is held to be a
in restraint of monopoly
in violation of law.
The decision affects American
corporations, English corporations,
and individual defendants. An
opportunity is given the trust to dis-
integrate and recreate a condition of
transaction of business not
to law.
If, at the end of six months, the
corporations fail to bring themselves
within the law, a receivership and
dissolution by court decree will fol-

The trust is held to have been
guilty of intimidation and clearly to
have shown a purpose to stifle com-

has really better
ties of reaching the heathen in mis-
work than does the preacher,
for while healing their bodies they
can be told of the love of Jesus and
how He will heal their souls.
In his talk he told of the
woeful lack of faith and want of real
missionary spirit in this country, and
the failure to heed the command of
God to carry the gospel into all the
world. He had been chided by some
for going into the foreign field and
was asked why he did not stay in
his own land to practice his
but he could not resist the call
to serve God in serving humanity and
counted it the greatest joy and honor
that could come to him to do the
work in which he is engaged. Of
course it takes personal sacrifice to
do this but the joy far
the price. Serving humanity and
leading souls to Christ is laying up
treasures in heaven, and that is what
he is doing. God had promised to
take care of him and go with him,
and he is willing to trust Him.
Dr. Meadows also talked of con-
in China and the erroneous
idea people here have of the people
there. We cannot judge them by the
class who come to
ca. China, he said, has statesmen as
great as are found in any nation of
the world. The charge that they are
non-progressive is wrong, they are
endowed with progressive ideas and
patriotism is strong with them. They
are an industrious people, and the
agriculturist takes higher rank than
the merchant and tradesman. They
have financiers equal of those found
anywhere. The idea that they are
an uncivilized people is a grossly
mistaken one. Their civilization dates
centuries prior to the civilization of
America, for it has only been four
hundred years since our ancestors
were barbarians and some of them
cannibals. It was the gospel of Christ
that changed our condition in
ca, and the gospel is the great need
in China. It was years ago that
missionary work first started there
and it has made wonderful progress.
China today is in a plastic state and
the people are hungry for the gos-
As they learn and receive it,
they often ask with surprise why it
was not carried to them sooner. The
opportunity to Christianize those
people is great, and the wonder is
that America does not Bend more mis-
to the work.
Dr. Meadows also stated a few in-
stances of his personal work in the
hospital and in preaching that were
exceedingly interesting. In one city
he mentioned temples for
idol worship had converted into
school houses. He is enthused with
his great work, and it is a privilege
to hear him tell of it.
To Try Business Manager.
Some of the towns in the state are
making a move toward the Staunton,
Va., plan of municipal government
a plan which has proved most
factory and which is certainly a
that is to employ a
business manager to look after all
the business of the town. Employ a
competent man, pay him a good
and require him to take the
town's affairs and manage them
with a view to securing best results
for the money expended, just as
business men engage the affairs
of a corporation or any other
The idea is to give the
manager absolute control to
hire and discharge help. The mayor
and aldermen act as the president and
board of directors of a corporation
and the business manager makes re-
port's to them.
The towns of Monroe and
ville propose to try this plan, at least
in modified form. The greatest
in putting it into effect, as The
Landmark sees it, will be to secure
a competent man for the job. He
will have to be an all-round man;
will have to know how to have street
work done, how to manage water
and light plants, etc.; but certainly
a man should be found, even at the
salary the ordinary town can afford
to pay, to have all this work done
as well, if not better, than it is usually
done under the slipshod methods
in vogue in the average town
under the usual municipal style of

As illustrating the remarkable
progress of the South during the last

The outside man not familiar with
the South who picks up a daily paper
from any one of its leading cities, will
get an impression about Southern
business life and activity that will
necessarily have a lasting effect. It
might, indeed, be a good policy for
every business man in the South,
he has read his local paper, to
mail it to some friend elsewhere. The
influence for good could hardly be
estimated. It is quite certain that
every paper sent from any part of
the South to Northern or Western

for instance, would make it a rule
to have the daily papers which it re-
mailed after they have been
read to its correspondents in other

on Its list, it would find the small
postage returned a thousandfold
through a closer acquaintanceship
and in enlarged business with its out-
side banking friends. The same is
true as to every other line of

business in that section without
acquaintances or correspondents

In his annual address before the
National Fire Association, in New
York, President W. H. Merrill stated
that than lives and two

have been sacrificed to fire in the
United States during the past fifteen
Leaving out of consideration
this appalling loss of human lives,
home owners and business men may
well reflect upon the causes of such
disaster. However variable the cir-
attending the origin of
fires, in the majority of cases, doubt-
less, the primary cause if simply in-
excusable carelessness; and as to
fire control the mot significant con-
is that of unpreparedness. This
is the case in the country and in
many towns. Sensible caution and
precaution are the twin remedies for
this situation; avoiding the
of contending with flames, but
being equipped for the necessity.
For home use chemical fire ex-
may be had at no great
cost. Hose sufficient to reach any
part of the house from the water pipe
should be handy, and means for get-
ting on the roof quickly should be
provided. Safety lies in attending to
the small blaze. A match may be
smothered under a thimble.
But in spite of these measures,
fire will occasionally get beyond con-

Southern has engaged Dr. a
professor of Atlantic Christian Col-
at Wilson, who is to spend his
summer vacation in Europe, to make
a six week's canvas in Germany with
a view of interesting German
grants to come to Eastern North
Carolina. The road is certainly to
be commended for its efforts to ad-
this section.
THE WISE MOVE.
While in Greenville Friday, Mr. W.
W. general passenger agent
of the Norfolk Southern railroad, told
The Reflector of a special work his
road is now undertaking to induce
settlers to come to Eastern North
Carolina. Data is being collected for
a booklet to be distributed through
the North and West. This booklet is
to tell the advantages of this favored
section, not only of the farms but of
the towns as well. The kinds of soil,
variety of crops grown, climatic con-
varied industries,
for manufacturing, educational
and social advantages are all to be
taken before prospective home seek-
Every town touched by the Nor-
folk Southern and every county
through which the road passes, should
co-operate with the railroad com-
in this movement to advertise
Eastern North Carolina. In . addition
A noteworthy change in Southern
agricultural conditions is apparent in
the statement by
managing director of the Southern
Commercial Congress, that, owing to
diversification of crops and the in-
of the corn growing con-
test clubs, shipments of Western
corn into the South have fallen off
in one year eleven per cent. Whether
blameless or not, the farmers of the
South have thrown away millions of
dollars in swapping cotton for West-
meat, hay and grain. The profit
on cotton has not been sufficient to
offset the difference between the price
of these supplies and the cost at
which they could have been produced
here at home. Whether the one-crop
practice is being abandoned in tardy
recognition of this fact or as a re-
of more favorable conditions is
not so material. By diversification,
intensive methods, modern
and a greater appreciation of
his resources, the farmer of the South
is coming into his own. Home grown
supplies mean not only financial in-
dependence to the Southern farmer,
for no where else can he get the
quality in these articles that our
own soil and climate yields.
MAYOR OF LEAST IMPORTANCE.
EVERY LITTLE BIT HELPS.
While Greenville should have a
good mayor, and a good one will be
nominated out of the three to be
voted for in the primary Monday, yet
the question of who shall be mayor
of the town is not near so important
as who shall compose the board of
aldermen. For these places the very
best men to be had should be
of known business ca-
who can manage important
affairs. Greenville has long since
passed the stage of growth and de-
when anybody who can be
picked up, or anyone who may aspire
to the position, will do for an alder-
man. The voters of the town should
think of this when they go about
selecting the men to govern the town.
The aldermen are the ones who do
this, the mayor having no voice either
in making the laws or in expending
the town's money. the town
good aldermen and let the town take
no backward step.
SELECT GOOD ALDERMEN.
In another week Greenville will
nominate candidates for aldermen to
be elected the first Monday in June,
and candidates are being talked.
There are no more important
in connection with the town's
affairs than the aldermen, and the
people cannot be too careful whom
they select for these. Just picking
up anybody because he happens to
want to be an alderman is not wise.
There is too much at stake. Good
men who have ability are needed to
conduct the affairs of the town, and
no man who has little or no interest
in the town should be selected. It
is not a time to be
or trying to engineer certain schemes.
Good government with good men in
office should be the first
of every voter.
TO THE POINT.

the suggestion of the Manufacturers
Record relative to a wider circulation

prosperity they reflect, the

Greenville to Mr. O. L. Joyner's farm,
where the sand-clay work has been
done, is as fine a section of road as
could be wished for. It is as hard
and smooth as a paved street, and to
ride over such a road is a delight.
From the end of the sand-clay work
on as far as we went, the road is
most a disgrace to an enlightened
people. A succession of sand beds,
ruts and holes, the road is so heavy
and rough as to make travel over it
difficult and uncomfortable. Such a

they cannot understand why it is that
they cannot get to the top rung. Most

they cannot see it at all. This is

The failure to attain the top rung is
because of the lack of appreciation
of the fine points of the game or en

THE GRADED SCHOOL
PUBLIC INVITED TO USE FREELY
any Holidays for Miners.
One of the queerest phases of hard
coal mining, in northeastern Penn-
is the celebration of dozens
of different holidays by foreign-born
mine workers. Sometimes one of
these celebrations, unannounced, and
not expected by the mine manage-
draws away enough workers
to stop completely the operation of
the mine.
The difficulty comes from the
nationality of the men. At
one colliery there may be workers
from twenty countries; often a
tor sees regulations, posted at the
head of the shaft, printed in a dozen
or more languages. Each nation-
or religious sect has its
and and other
for celebration. The colony
of Hungarians cannot understand
why, just because they happen to be
in America, they should the
practice of their native land.
The worst part about it is that,
in many cases, they do not notify
foreman In advance; they seem to
take it for granted that everybody
knows that they are not going to
work on certain days. To keep the
many foreign holidays in his bead
a foreman would have to be a sort
of human almanac.
It has proved impossible to bring
about uniformity in regard to the ob-
of holidays. The attempt
to do so is much like it would be to
try to get all the mine
workers to speak the same language.
The mine organizations, as
well at the operators, have tried in
vain to find a remedy for the

Asia's Most Important Lesson.
No, the prosperity of every man
of every interest, of every industry
depends upon the prosperity of the
average man with whom that
or industry has to do. You
prosper today, you live in greater
comfort, simply because men in other
ages have encouraged knowledge,
education, and as a result of
edge, have better tools and
for men to labor with. That is
our debt to the past; to the future
we owe the duty of encouraging
knowledge in constantly increasing
degree.
God man
who fancies he owes nothing to the
schools, who pays his tax for
grudgingly as if it were a char-
if he had only himself
to thank for the property on
which the government levies a
pitiable mill or so for the advance-
and diffusion of knowledge
among mankind. Pity him if he have
not considered be he small enough
of soul to repudiate the debt he owes
the race. But for what education
has brought us from all its past, but
for what it has wrought through the
invention of better tools and the bet-
management increased
of all the powers with
which men labor, our close-fisted,
short-sighted tax-payer would him-
self be living in a shelter of brush,
shooting game with a bow and arrow,
cultivating corn with a crooked stick.
Most of what he has he owes to his
racial heritage; it is only because
other men prosper that he prospers.
And yet owing so much to the past,
he would do nothing for the future;
owing so much to the progress the
race has made, he would do nothing
to insure a continuance of that

The meal consisted of Indian corn-

on Sunday and when company came,

HISTORIC WASHINGTON HOME
General's Headquarters at Rocky Hill
N. J., A Colonial Museum.
In the little village of Rocky Hill,
N. J., some four miles beyond Prince-
ton, stands the old farm-
house, in which George Washington
spent the autumn of 1783. The ac-
operations of the revolution were
over then, so his days at Rocky Hill
were passed in writing the farewell
address to the army, in sitting to
Peale and William Dunlap for his
portrait, and in receiving the dist-
statesmen who sought him
here and talked over the country's
future. Prom here he rode frequent-
to Old Nassau Hall at Princeton,
where congress was then sitting, and
it was here in this very house that
he received news of the signing of
the definitive treaty of Paris, which
recognized American
and gave to the United States all
the territory from the to
the Mississippi. It may, therefore,
not be claiming too much to say that
the Rocky Hill headquarters witness-
ed the most triumphant day of Wash-
life. And those who love
to visit places hallowed by such as-
may now, thanks to some
patriotic women of the neighborhood,
add this last revolutionary residence
of Washington to the number.
It is a plain white frame building,
claiming nothing more in the way of
beauty than those good proportions
that make all old
At the time in question it was
the property of Mrs. Margaret Ber-
widow of a prominent New
Judge; and, as she wished to dis-
pose of it. Congress having invited
Washington to be present at its
hired it for him pending its
sale, and he and his retinue moved
into it on August 1783.
As a museum of colonial furnish-
Rocky Hill is far more
than either the Morristown or
the headquarters. Down
to the minute household appliances,
everything of the period is there,
and, what is more, every piece is
fully authenticated, having been do-
by some revolutionary family
of the neighborhood. The tables,
chairs, clocks, cabinets, and the built-
and the Church.
Senator Dillingham, of Vermont,
gave the Northern Presbyterian As-
convened at Atlantic City,
some very plain talk the other day
on the subject of the church's
towards the immigrants who are
pouring into this country. After
denying that these newcomers are,
as a class, unlearned, vicious or idle.
and calling pointed attention to the
fact that they are much more apt to
send their children to school and
keep them there than many native-
born Americans, the senator
trouble is that
when they come here live a life
of isolation. They have come to US
in such numbers as to be regarded as
nothing more than so many elements
of production. I think we ought to
open our churches to them and let
them sit down with us. It to
me that we should give them such a
welcome as to make them truly feel
that they are one of
That Senator views
are strictly in line with Christian
principles will hardly be questioned.
Christian practice, however, needs not
infrequently to be bolstered by con-
somewhat more material
than the spiritual principles of the
system. The isolation the speaker
referred to is harmful not only to the
churches but to the other
of the country as well. The
hundreds of thousands of newcomers
who are seeking America every year
must be assimilated by the body of
the be tinctured at
least with angles of
they are to do their part in the up-
building of the nation. It is difficult
to see how such influence is to be
brought promptly to bear upon them
if they are allowed to remain isolated.
From a purely ecclesiastical stand-
point, too, Senator words
are worth weighing. The glory of
the Christian churches is that they
make their appeal to the entire race,
regardless of nationality of previous
training. The particular church
which practically confines its labors
to the native American population
thereby neglects a factor which of
however slight importance it may be
deemed at present will inevitably
play a tremendous part within a few-
generations. Not a few of the most
influential men in the United States
are sons or grandsons of humble
migrants. It would require a
of all logic to believe that among
those who have landed at New York
within the last decade there is none
who possess the brains and the
character to forge to the front. The
church must indeed reach out after
these people unless it is to shirk all
attempts to influence a large
of the elements which will com-
to make the America of the
Observer.

Fully three thousand people were
at the Union picnic at
Bluff Thursday. Not only was
section of Pitt county represent-
ed, but people were there from all the
neighboring counties. -They began
arriving early, they stayed late, and
the day was enjoyed to the utmost.
It was a splendid location for a
picnic. A high bluff overlooks the
river at a picturesque spot, and ex-
tending back for acres is a green
sward with numerous shade trees
here and there, with woods forming
the background.
The committees appointed by the
Union to arrange for the
picnic certainly did their work well.
They planned for big things and big
things were carried out. A table
hundreds of yards long was built in
form, and around this the
great crowd gathered when dinner
was announced. And such a dinner
as was spread before them. It was
both elegant and abundant, a plenty

missed a handsome diamond ring,

at once rested upon a colored
girl, Caroline who worked
about the house and had been sent
to the room the day before.
An officer was notified, and the
girl, learning that she was suspected,
left town. She was arrested
day night about four miles in the

but could not, or at least did not,
make a true statement of what had
been done with it. Several different
statements were made as to where
she had hid the ring, but a search at
these places failed to disclose it.
The girl is only about years

fine game with wet balls, allowing
