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 would be respectful to the 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 which speaks too audibly of the slaughter house or the dissecting chamber. still looms largely in hats and the usual The principal birds slaughtered in myriads to make women's hats hideous are ospreys, birds of paradise, hum- ming birds, pigeons ants, jays kingfishers, owls, and parrots.

The easiest and the nary way of obtaining egret plumes is to go to the nests when they are full of young birds unable to fly. At such a time the egret murderers have no difficulty, for attack from defenseless birds is impossible, and the flight by parents from their help less fledgling is unthinkable. They are shot down while they brood over the young they refuse to desert.

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 of Health, while his commercial value 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- his returns to society. Consider- the from consider- in the there are many persons who are non-producers such as clergymen, schoolteachers and the like, the average is a fine one. Yet in a sense no one outside the de- pendent and defective class is a non- producer, as the contribution of the Mrs. L. W.

Believing that the people of North Carolina will be interested in know- what their ons are accomplishing, The Reflector 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, object in establishing and 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. May 1910 to July 1910. Sept. 1910 to Dec. 1910. Total Of this number between and are now teaching In the public schools. Such a record as this has never before bean made by any other school in North Carolina. These facts two First, that is a demand for trained teachers in the State. Second, that the school in Greenville is meet- this demand. The work that is being done here is certainly by far the greatest for the cost to the State of any which we have ever known. At the close of this one-and-a-half years of work we find the A school plant which we believe, at a low worth In this school the town of Greenville and county of Pitt have put The State of North Caro- has la it, It will thus be seen that up to this time State lacks of having Invested as much as the town and county, and yet the plant is owned in foe b the State. With the character of work being done here the State will get results, will get. hem where they are most the rural schools of the State. In Eastern North Carolina. In fact in all the State, there are of people now teaching public schools who have never had any training for the work. These teach- ens are to do the work largely for the next eight or ten years. The graduates of all the colleges In North Carolina if they were to enter the teaching-pro could not more than supply the increase of the teachers every year. As we see it, the work of the State at present is to give opportunity to the teachers now in the school room so that they may become more This is just what this school is doing, its work is already being felt in a number of schools, and we be- that in the near future it will be a power in the educational uplift of the State. At present those seeking admission cannot be sum- mer many students, at least one were forced to find boarding places in the town at additional cost. This should not be, especially when we think of the salary paid these faithful servants of the State. The State owed it to itself to make 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.

If you have a neighbor who does read, urge him to keep his in school every day he possibly can. Of course, men and women who an read and take newspapers are too much alive to the needs of their children to keep them out of school for even a day-short as our public school term they can possibly have them, in school. But here and there is a man who has not education himself, who can hardly read, who says that his children do not need more schooling than he got. Do best for such a neighbor for his children's sake.

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. X. C. Labor Act is Void.

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.

Other experiments will be put under way from time time as necessity seems to dictate. The stations to be located in Rock- and Pitt counties arc to be run in co-operation with the National Department of These stations are to be located with view ascertaining the best of bright tobacco to be grown 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.

A Macon, Ga., press dispatch In de- scribing a fire in that town this week, develops that the fire which destroyed the store and dwelling of J. D.

Mr. Noble was not at home at the time and the members of the family did not re- member that the money had been left in the house until this Probably ten to thirty times more money is destroyed by fire at home than is lost by failure of banks.

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 operating Times. Spite Suit Falls Down. Col. Roosevelt while president of the United States, was not averse to using his high and mighty position to crush his personal enemies. The robes of exalted were not sanctity to him to forget enemies. He stood ever ready to step down denounce as malicious liars, falsifiers, or unscrupulous prevaricators those hapless beings who chanced to incur his displeasure. Time after time the nation was regaled by spectacle of a president, of the United States endeavoring to annihilate with the presidential bludgeon some honest in who had dared to oppose or the of So it came to pass that the anger of the Little Father fell upon the head of the New York World, be- cause forsooth, that paper published certain rumors, and asked that they be investigated. II been report- ed that was a giant corpora- formed, with several of Mr. Roosevelt's closest friends as leading spirits, to take over the Panama canal properly. It was said that the deal was made with the old French company and the property sold to the United States, with several mil- lions of profit for the members of the mysterious syndicate, which dis- solved thereafter. The matter was chiefly rumor, but it was one which should of have been probed to the bot- tom, if for no other- reason than that men prominent in the were If innocent they should have been cleared of all connection with the report, and The World dared to ask that the matter be thoroughly investigated. Immediately Mr. Roosevelt is said to have caused a suit to be brought against The World. The suit has be come famous as the Roosevelt spite suit. The lower court held that the editors of the New York World could not be hauled to the District of Columbia to answer to an alleged offense committed in the State of New York. And now the highest court in the land upholds this ion, and the Roosevelt spite suit falls News. . L SCHEDULE High Don't Work.

In a novel theory of Mars, Prof. Arrhenius rejects Prof. Low- ell's view that the changing dark spots and bands are due to and accepts the old suggestion that the so-sailed canals are long, deep fissures. Similar formations exist on the earth, one extending a distance of miles along the coasts of Peru and Chile. Water is supposed to collect in the fissures or canals, and to accumulate at the points where several meet, these of or of Lowell being explained as places where the planet's crust has sunk. Though very salty, the water is frozen by the intense cold. The ice evaporates in dry air the vapor collects as snow at the winter pole, and the canals become dry beds of Baits, until, with the melting of the snow in and summer, the air ceases to be dry, and the salts again attract moisture, turning to a darker hue.

Elkins, of West Virginia, died Wednesday night in Washington City. The nation loses a man in his passing, one who has been many years a political leader.

No more room for complaint up that way. -o- There is nothing the matter with Mecklenburg, even if she did get both the president of the senate and the speaker of the house. The men are all right, too. The News and Record both mate that what Greensboro lacks in to she makes up In business, right., talk it That's Pitt county elected two widowers to the legislature, but Representative took unto himself a wife the day before the general assembly met and took her along to Raleigh with him. In that respect he stole a march on Representative Mooring. We wish the New Orleans now in Washington City every in getting their city named as the place for holding the Panama exposition in 1915. New Orleans is the logical location for the exposition This promises to be a big week in Raleigh. Besides the legislature, there will be the grand lodge of Masons the unveiling of the Ransom bust, the state historical association meeting, and several smaller lies. When you hear a man going around talking about prohibition being a fail- he is apt to be one who wants to see it a failure and would place every obstacle he could in the way of the law being enforced. Mr. G. B. Ford who since it started last spring has been editing the Farm ville Enterprise, has leased the pap- from the publishing company and assumed entire control of it. He is making the Enterprise a good paper.

On the questions of prohibition and education his message was especially strong. -v The editors came along all right in getting offices in the present gen- assembly. Editor W. C. Dowd is speaker of the house Editor T. G. Cobb and Editor G. Scott Poole are principal clerk and reading clerk, respectively in the house, and Editor Mark Squires is reading of the senate. The town is not making any move toward getting Uncle Sam to give Greenville free delivery to which the post office receipts already entitle us. And that free delivery is not coming until the town puts itself in shape with properly numbered houses, and sidewalks that the mail carriers can travel on. The Greensboro News reprimands a South Carolina paper for saying the Republican party in North had got in such bad shape that the ex- chairman of the party attempted The News was entirely right in its strictures on the South Carolina contemporary. Newspapers often ex- press themselves in a vein of too much levity on serious matters. It was enough to shock better feel- the way the punsters about the hanging of Dr. less so were their jokes about Mrs. Eddy because Mrs Stetson, a religious fanatic, had ex- pressed the belief that she would arise from the and appear on earth in another life. In the face of death there should be no levity. Greenville is great, but we want to see a greater Greenville. The Times is complaining about Ike bricks and cobble stones lying in the streets. Get some of the Masons in town to lay them for you. Instead of some of the legislators introducing local anti near-beer bills, they had better save their work for an entire state bill that is coming along before the session closes. The Durham Herald the legislature does not put the clubs out of business it might as well allow the near-beer stands to Quite true, but we think I he will bolt the door against both these evils. A question like this was put to The a man had owing to him and could not collect it, how much better off is he a man who has We believe the man who has nothing is the better off of the two, for he at least would not have the worry over not being able to collect the ten thousand. The Home Building and Loan As- is not yet four years old, but it has some over in loans among people of the town helping them to own their homes. That is what The Reflector calls doing good work, both in help- the people and In the volume of business. Every meeting of the rectors there are more applications for loans. Men of Greenville, you business men the new year is young yet and it is not too late to make a good start If among your good resolutions was one to do something for your town and section this year, show it now by attending the next meeting of the chamber of commerce which is to be held soon. Some matters of to Greenville and Pitt are to be considered and your presence is needed. Stop your long enough to attend this meeting for it means bringing you more business in the long rum Mr. Ivy Smith, a good farmer of Braver Dam, dropped in Thursday, to say that he was glad to see The talking against dogs, and hoped It will keep going. He said the best would be to exterminate the dogs but if this cannot be done he would like to sec a tax of levied on them, the money thus raised to go either to the road or school fund. Dogs arc the greatest hindrance the state has to sheep raising. A few dogs on a plantation will keep it practically clear of game, as they roam about and destroy partridge nests and kill every young rabbit they can catch. he legislature ought to do dogs, 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 recently by the Southern roads themselves. A check on them in the form of mileage coupons was desired though opportunities for dishonesty could be very restricted thereby. The. question arises whether Southern conductors are less honor- able than conductors elsewhere There will be general agreement, we think, that as a rule they are superior men drawn from a superior class, ranking in this latter respect above their fellows almost anywhere else. Moderate business methods tend to eliminate the element of personal honesty as much as possible, but at many points this has never been very effectively done. To insist upon an additional check which operates no more effectively than mileage ex- change, nevertheless vexing the pub- grievously, impress us as far from Observer. of the criminal laws of the State To amend the laws of establishing a police for Asheville. Including Saturday the general as- of North Carolina had been in session four days. While the sen- ate committees were appointed in that time, the house being a larger body it was more difficult to make proper assignments and speaker Dowd re- served naming these until today.

Battle; To improve the A Look at Everything points to a business legislature. Talking with members of the body and looking over the personnel Of the two houses as a whole, one gets the impression that the legislature is going to do something for the stale. Three of the richest men in the state have sac- sixty days from their offices in order to give their services to the state and financiers are In the legislature. There are other members, not rich but successful bus- men who have sacrificed their time and business interests to aid in legislation they believe the state Stands In need of. First, and tower- above all other questions, is that of the equalization of taxation. The legislature is bent on passing an law and is not going to wait until the closing days the to do it. The drafting of the measure will done by Senator Brown and his finance committee and it will be Championed In the senate by Mr. of Rowan. The plan is to eliminate the counties. By 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 that should not feel ashamed to be called a pauper. Iredell with two big towns, and with two big towns are but instances. The law will probably provide a to visit these counties and equal- the assessed value of property. An equalization of taxation having been secured, the state will receive an enormous additional income, with no raising of the tax rate. The Will not apply to the counties alone, but to the entire state. Securing an equitable system of taxation this legislature will go down great in Raise Home Supplies. There is food for thought in facts contained in a bulletin just issued by the state department of agriculture on the amount of foodstuffs shipped into North Carolina. The state imported for instance. worth of wheat and flour; worth of cured meat; worth of corn and 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 state. 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 lesson has not fully News. Worked Old Racket. A slick game was worked successfully by an unknown man early last evening, whereby the firm of m Sykes, druggists, were separated from a dollar bottle of patent medicine and four dollars in cash. A telephone message was received at the store asking that a bottle of be sent to East Wash- street, together with four to make change for a five dollar note. The instructions were carried out. but when the boy arrived at the number given, he was accosted by a man, who said the medicine was for him. He look the four change and the bottle of and gave the delivery boy a cheek 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 was all right, accepted the check and returned to the store. Of course the check was a bogus one and the grafter has ed with his loot leaving the drug store lighter as to pocket-book but wiser. Some one doubt- less the same party attempted to work the same game on the Farris- Klutz Drug Company yesterday after- noon, but it didn't go through. Greensboro Record.

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.

Now you can keep both eyes on her. She is the coming metropolis North and has mighty nearly rived. The census returns on her are very satisfactory. They do not get in all of our inhabitants, if they did, we would reach easily. As it now stands, according to the last census, Charlotte is only ahead of us; Wilmington ahead; Raleigh Asheville Durham now stands fifth in the list. The next census will show our pro- city as the cap stone. Keep both eyes on Durham. While we feel great pride in the showing, that docs not fill our cup of patriotism. We have some- thing else to brag over. Durham county leads the state in tax paying. Just listen to this. From figures received from Raleigh this morning Durham county pays in- to the state treasury more than she receives. This is the largest amount paid by any county in the state. Mecklenburg comes next with This shows an honest and proper valuation of the property of Durham county. If all did likewise, we would not have the pauper counties which receive more than they pay in. This is encouraging enough for a New Year's starter up the hill of progress to the mountain top of success and prosperity. Some few cities may, for the time being, beat us in population, but we just walk away with all the rest in our financial showing with the state, in helping to building her up and sup- port her Institutions. This is glory enough for one day On to greater things, is Durham's slogan this afternoon and ham Sun. To Tench Farming by Mail. 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 is each year becoming more alive to the advantages of a modicum of book-learning even in the conduct of a farm, and we anticipate a large for Clemson's new depart- Observer. admire the judgment of who agree with us.

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. Installed at The Meeting Tuesday Night. At a meeting of Covenant Dodge. No. I. O. O.

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. Week of Prayer.

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- at the same Chronicle. 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.
