who attended were allowed the
of going over the new building

Prominent among the guests
were present last night for tho open-
supper were Messrs. J. O. and
W. K. Proctor, of Grimesland, two
principal promoters of the new hotel,
who brought with them their wives,
and the greater part of the working
force of their stores in that town.
These two men have done as much
perhaps, as any other two men to-
ward making the hotel a reality, and
it was very appropriate that they
should be on hand with their families
for tho opening.
In connection with the promotion
of the new hotel should be mention-
ed the name of Mr. B. W. Moseley,
whoso untiring efforts In soliciting
stock when the project was first be-
launched, gave considerable
to the movement. Mr. Moseley
was instrumental In getting a large
number of wealthy men of the

the people wish answered.

of the board of aldermen, was
chosen to take the place of Mr. E.
W. Harvey, who, though elected, re-
fused to qualify. He had been elect-
ed In the recent election but owing
to the fact that he now holds the
position of cotton weigher, refused
to qualify and the board had to
elect his successor. Mr. Tyson was
not notified of his election yesterday
in time to present the
board adjourned and consequently

this will be done at the first reg-

There was no contest over the

was opposed by Mr. A. H. Taft, and
it was by a margin of only one vote
that Mr. won the election.
There was no spirited contest over
the matter, but It was the first time
the new board has had a chance to
show Just how It would line up on
any sort of a fight.
Mayor James announced that he
would have tho regular

if the administration Is in the
hands of one set of trustees. It
would mean a saving of expense
management.
Through my efforts there was pass-
ed by our last general assembly a
state law allowing counties to Issue
bonds when a majority vote of the
people of the county to establish
county hospitals. This law is
a copy of the Iowa hospital
law and said to be tho best hospital
law in America. Under this law
Iowa has already built many county
hospitals and is building more. Some
of these Iowa hospitals are not only
paying expenses but are actually
hospitals

to now, in almost every county there
has been some philanthropic person
who wished to help the cause, who
have donated lands or a good bit
money and have been
by having the hospital named after
them.
The Clay county hospital, whose
report Is now on my desk, Is called
the Eleanor Moore hospital. Its an-
expense account Is and
Its annual income is

I think if Pitt county builds a hos-
and I am sure It will
have too much not that
It would be wise to embody In the
law a requirement that tho surplus
should be applied to the creation of
a sinking fund to pay off the bonds
when due.
I felt as soon as this law passed
that Pitt county would be the very
first county In tho to fall In
line.
Pitt county keeps enough patients

President Wright And Prof. Brooks
Made Interesting Addresses At
The School
This Morning
Appropriate exercises
rating the fifth anniversary of the day
on which ground was first broken for
the founding of the East Carolina
Teachers Training School were held
at the school this morning. The ex-
were altogether Informal In
every way, though It required two
hours or more for the music and for
tho speeches to be delivered.
The occasion was the regular hour
for chapel exercises, and there was
nothing especially of interest to the
public as will be noticed from the
program given below. The speeches
were directed more along the line
the work that is being taken in
the summer school, and were more
or less for the purpose of acquainting
the students with the aims and
poses of the school, and of the work
that they arc to take during the two
months that they are here.
It was Just five years ago today,
on July 1908, ground was
broken for the first buildings at the
Training School. On that occasion,
as will be remembered by those cit-
of Greenville who were pres-
exercises befitting to the
ion were held, and on this day the
in the summer school took
part of the day to commemorate th.;
occasion.
To get an idea of what has been
accomplished by the school since Us
establishment, one only has to look
the number of young women who
have been turned out by the school,
and to get an Idea of the great and
demands that are being
made upon It at the present
school In the history of the state
has ever, perhaps, had
growth as has this one establish-
ed four years ago for the purpose of
training the young women of North
Carolina to fit themselves better for
the, work of teaching the youth of
the state. It was mainly about such
matters as this that President Wright's
speech was made this morning.
Tho address by Professor E. C.
Brooks was somewhat different and
was of such a nature as that it would
not be of as great Interest to the
genera public as It otherwise might
be. He told the students something
that would be of practical help to
them In tho pursuit of of their stud-
and Intended to help them tn
tho proper selection and use of the
text books that taught in the
public of the state.
The music was very good, and was
enjoyed very much by who
were present. Especial mention Is
due the splendid effort of Miss Mary
who sang a beautiful solo at
the beginning of the exercises. The

to those who want the

Open Letter to
Mr.
Suggestion that this Will Solve
Both Problems
INTEREST BEING AROUSED
The To He
Supplied r
dimly And
Hospital
People the city who see the
of a remedy for the conditions
existing at the county home haw
revived the talk of a hospital
Greenville, and have begun an
in favor building a city hos-
and a new county on
the same plot. The suggestion for
the of the two was brought
cut by the recent movement Bet en
foot for moving the county home near
the City. No opposition to the
of the county home has as yet
been encountered the and
this fact is giving impetus to the
movement that may be started
favor of a combination of the two.
Those advocating the new plan are
the foremost citizens of Green-
ville and are people whose influence
in the movement would count fir
much if anything should be done about
the matter.
There are those in the city
think that the combination of the
county home and the hospital would
be an admirable proposition, and if
some one would come forward and
start a movement it is believed that
it would gain many followers in the
course of a few weeks. Some of the
physicians of the city are in favor
of the idea carried in this latest
by those who want both to
see the county home moved, and a
hospital for the city built.
it is a matter of fact, it is said,
that many of the inmates of the
county home would be much better
off if they were in a place where
they could have the attention of
trained nurses, and tho protection
of a decent, clean residence. Some
of the inmates of the home, also, are
unable to do anything for themselves,
and are practically helpless. It Is
said that they are not given
attention for lack of help at
the institution and It is pointed out
by the advocates of the new plan, that
most of this and the
suffering of the people might be done
away with if proper steps were taken
for their care such as could be had at
a hospital.
If this plan were to be followed
out. it would, of course, be understood
that the hospital and the county
would not he In the same buildings at
all. They would only he situated on
the same plot, and be under the same
management. If this were done, it
is very likely that the city or the
have to build and control the
hospital, as a private concern would
hardly desire to run a hospital in con-
junction with the county's poor house
Many of the citizens, of the town are
very desirous of having a hospital
here. They say that Washington.
Kinston. Tarboro. Wilson, and other
neighboring towns have places for the
care of their sick, but none such Is
in this city. It is the desire
of the people for the hospital, and the
probability of the moving of the
home that is bringing out the sue-

during the severe electric storm of

Mr. i. Joyner Gives Valuable Es-
of Condition th
Crops in Eastern Part
Of The State
Tho tobacco crop to date is
tho most Irregular j and
spotted one that has been grown In
this territory many years and it
stems that this condition is general
over practically the entire eastern
belt. There are some good crops of
tobacco in localities, but as a rule
the crop has suffered during tho last
three weeks with too much rain. The
crop is fully throe weeks late, and
while late tobacco not usually
tho past amounted to much, that is we
do not often get good heavy tobacco
In a crop, let us hope that 1913
will prove the exception to the gen-
rule. Tho fact that the crop Is
late, tho recent rains not and
will not so effect
it. especially on land and
land with plenty humors in it.
Tho crop has been cultivated prob-
ably at greater expense this year
any crop that has ever been grown in
this section, to and in-
labor. After all the drought

acreage as was Intended and made
the crop a very may i

Indicating a state of uneasiness than
ever before. This is due of course
the fear of a large i and present
nay high cost of farming. The best
Information, however, the crop is not
as largo as many have thought. It
certainly is not as large as great many
estimates bars made it. is no
doubt, about the high cost of making
a tobacco crop now. But without
venturing s prediction as to market
this fall, the fact that during
r a last ten years the production of
tobacco in eastern North Carolina and
South Carolina has fallen off more
than hair, while the consumption of
cigarettes has increased about four
times during the period,
ample to expect good
prices and prices will pay the
a profit even over the
cost of m it. I see no reason

FRIDAY, JULY 1811
THE A THE
After fifty years of peace, prosper-
and plenty, the veterans of a
that was once torn and
by war, arc today on tho
held where a half century ago was
fought one of the fiercest battle of all
time Fifty years ago today, on
July the few dally papers of
the land flashed the stories of the
second day's conflict at Gettysburg
And when the second day had ended,
and the fighting had ceased, neither
side was any better off than on the
day before the first battle had begun.
At the end of the fighting on the
third day, the half clad soldiers of
the immortal Lee, with clothes that
were torn and tattered by their long
service, fell back from
Physically speaking, yes; at
heart, no. The destinies of a nation
were decided when the soldiers of
the Union army on that day
ed the army of the Confederacy. Up
to that time, the followers of Lee
had had decidedly the better end
the whole conflict, but that day,
the fortunes of the southern
began to wane. It seemed that tin
men of the southern army were
again able to put up such a fight
as they made those three days
Gettysburg.
Today, fifty years after it is all
over, at a time when we can all
look back and see where the mistakes
and errors of the war were made, we
cannot help but feel in our hearts
that it all happened for the best.
If the cause of the Confederacy
succeeded, America would not today
be a reunited nation. Who knows
but there would be two mighty pow-
struggling together for the
of the North American con-
Wars and rumors of wars
between each other might have been
going on at Intervals of but a few
years until this day. But the cause
of the union won out; the union
preserved, and today we are the
finest example of a republic, and the
greatest success In the way of a
democratic power that can be found
on the globe.
But, as the thin lines of the Blue
and the Gray gather on the field of
Gettysburg, they cannot help but
think of what might have been.
How it on the heart of
of the old Confederate soldier as to
what might been had victory
placed her laurels upon his brow on
that fateful day. But he knows hat
men honor him as the finest expo-
of bravery that the world has
ever seen. The Spartans were brave,
and the old Romans won fame, but
the Confederate soldier will live
throughout all the ages as the one
example of perfect bravery, If such
thing can be.
As the Blue and the Gray gather
at Gettysburg, let us all thank God
that such men as these were our
forefathers, and that we are descend-
ed from a race that dared to do and
die for a cause that they believed to
be right.

Mr. Fred N. of High
who is president of the Just Freight
Rate Association, has written a let-
to Commissioner A. Maxwell,
who, it will be remembered, proposed
steamship line from Wilmington
to New York, as a solution of the
freight rate question, in which letter
Mr. Tate. it Is understood, Insinuates
hat there is room for suspicion that
the rate commission is Insincere, and
that Mr. suggestion
made to throw a damper on the
forts of the business men of the state
to secure a reduction in the freight
rates.
As remarked in those columns
a few days ago, it will never do
our people to recede from the
that they have taken. North Car-
business have set out to
get a reduction in the rates and they
should never let up until they get I
that is as fair and as just as any
that is charged Virginia shippers.
After a study of the matter,
we are rather inclined to share the
belief of that business man of
who said that Mr. Maxwell's pro-
posed steamship line would not ma-
alter the rate that we now
have. By the time the North Carolina
merchant pays freight from
northern town to New York city on
the coast, hires a man to receive the
shipment from the railroad in that
city and transfer it to the steamship,
pays the freight by water from New-
York to Wilmington, pays a man at
Wilmington to look after the trans-
fer from steamer to railroad, an
again pays freight from Wilmington
to an Inland town, he will not have
cut his rate very much. Besides all
this combination of affairs, no con-
is given to the unlimited
delay that will be necessary In such
a roundabout as this one would
be.
And. just to be plain about the mat-
there is no need for this route.
North Carolina shippers are entitled
to a rate that is fair and just. For
instance, where is any fairness In this
one illustration, quoted from The Dur-
ham Herald, rate on stoves
carload lots from St. Louis to Ashe-
ville is per hundred pounds. On
the same commodity to Norfolk the
rate is per hundred pounds. The
distance by the Southern Railway
miles to Asheville, and 1.135 mile
to There Is no justice at all
in such a rate as this. It is
pure and simple. The
we can do is to force the railroads
to come to terms. They have shown
us clearly enough that they do not
propose to do anything until they
are forced to it.
IS THE COMMISSION INSINCERE
Some of curious
to wonder why It was that the Freight
Rate Commission had to go out of
the state to hold that conference with
the officials of the railroads. The
meeting was hold at Old Point Com-
fort on the coast of Virginia, n place

nor at the headquarters of any of the

This city Is to be congratulated
upon having within Its borders, and

the Carolina Club. This club showed
that It Is alive to the welfare and
betterment of the city when last night
It approved of the Idea of bringing tho
Free Will Baptist Seminary to
city. After discussing the matter at
length a committee was appointed to
look Into the matter and discuss with
the people of the town the probabilities
of securing a lot somewhere In th
suburbs which could be offered to the
trustees of the school. Besides this
and perhaps the best thing done,
the decision to call a mass meeting
of the citizens to meet In the court
house Thursday night for the purpose
of discussing the matter and of giving
the people of the city as a whole,
rather than as being represented
this club, an opportunity to express
themselves in this all Important mat-
And the people of Greenville will
not let this opportunity pass by
noticed. The way Is now open fir
action; Greenville now has brighter
prospects for the seminar,
and tho people of the town realize
this fact. A big crowd of
tic citizens will be at the court house
on Thursday night to stand by th
Carolina Club, and to express their
desire for getting this seminary for
Greenville.
GREENVILLE FALLS INTO LINE
Greenville and Pitt county
day afternoon fell Into line In the
statewide fight for just freight rates
for North Carolina. Mr. Hubert
Ramseur, organizing secretary of the
state association, met with upwards
of seventy-five of the leading business
men of the city In the court house
and assisted In the organization of tho
Pitt County Just Freight Rate
This action puts Greenville
on the firing line along with the
other progressive towns of the state
where associations are
organized. Every new local
that Is formed places the state
Just one step nearer the solution of
the problem of freight discrimination.
The officers of the association that
were elected yesterday some
of the most enthusiastic men that
could have been found. They bare
all have entered upon their work In
a manner that indicates that they
mean business. The state association
may rest assured that the local bus-
men will behind them
whatever honest method they may
pursue toward getting relief In this
matter, for Greenville Is by no
means slighted by the railroads when
It comes to a matter of freight rate
discrimination.
Now, that the local organization
has been formed, let every business
man in this town Join the association,
catch the enthusiasm of the cause,
and work for all he is worth to end

past weeks, the crops about Green-

fine, and give promise of being record

blooming like the rose.
KEEP THE OLD ROAD
Citizens of the towns all along the
old Atlantic and North Carolina
railroad between Goldsboro and Beau-
fort are protesting against elate
selling its interest in the road to
the Norfolk Southern In acceptance
of the offer recently made by E. Can
Duncan. The state owns
shares in this line which is known
as the old road. It is said
that this stock would bring, if sold
at par, and Mr.
offers the state At the pres-
time the road is under a lease for
years and it is new earning S
per cent on the original investment
It is also said that before the lease
expires it will be per
or an annual rental of
Now, we hold that If this proper-
is so valuable as that the Norfolk
Southern railroad can buy it and
make money on It. the state of
North Carolina can hold it and make
money on it. To be sure, the
state needs money at tills time, an
the near million dollars that is of-
for the road would pay the
state clear out of debt, but it must
remembered that this debt Is, for
the most part, an accumulation of
current expenses, and will come
year or two. The money re-
from the sale of the
would only bring temporary relief
from present debt, and in a few
years another debt almost as large
will have accumulated unless other
sources of revenue are found, if
kept, the revenue from the road will
In twelve years equal, at a
year, the total amount that would
come as a result of the sale of the
state's stock at Mr. Duncan's price.
And, besides having this annual In-
come at that time, the state will still
own the railroad and the Income will
continue to pour into the state treas-
at that rate.
The state can use this property
to as good advantage as the railroad
can and we believe It will be a mis-
take for the state to sell It. We hope
that the legislative committee now
considering this matter at Morehead
City can see its way clear to rec-
that the state retain Its
shares In the road, so that the an-
Income of will continue.
We note that the business men of
Wilmington are talking of financing
that boat line from Wilmington to

GREENVILLE'S OPPORTUNITY
Tonight business men of
Greenville are to have an

Baptist Seminary. We have the as-
of the president of

this matter no longer, and we have
our own knowledge to the effect that

the lack of a quorum, but this can-
not be done again.
The interests of

tonight will depend largely the stand
our town Is to take In the advance-
of the eastern part of the state
from an educational point of view.
At the present time Greenville has
the best educational advantages to
be had anywhere in North Carolina,
east of Raleigh. Have we all that
we want Are we satisfied with
what has been accomplished In the
past, and shall we sit with folded
arms and let pass a splendid

town an Institution that will bring
hero on the average between one and

Besides the prestige and standing
that we will gain there Is another
side to the matter. It costs money
for people to live and if two
people are In this town
for nine months In the year, It
mean a Increase in tho
business of the town. Of course,
other and higher motives than these
do, or should, actuate our efforts in
trying to get tho new Institution, but
this alone Is enough to cause every
business man of to a to want
to bring the Baptist school to Greene

true. Most men have to work for
what they get, and in some instances
much harder, and under conditions
much more detrimental to their
health than Is farming. As soon as
fanning is placed on a scientific basis
so t at men can make good money
at it, there will be no need for a

Any one who will think honestly

than half of the Inmates of the home

not make fires, water or attend

More than this we are born social

She cannot read a word. She must
sit and hold her poor drawn hands
all day with no companion except
that of a colored attendant. I am
told she has never seen a

light. How she must yearn for just
one peep of this great wide world
We cannot afford even at the cost
of extravagance to neglect such life
sufferers as these. We had better
waste a great deal of the county's
money than let a single one of God's
little ones go unnoticed. If I sin let

those who feel that they are the self-
appointed guardians of the funds of

Better let your road wash in gullies,
