STOCKHOLDERS MEETING
PER DIVIDEND DECLARED
Business -Made Gratifying Increase
The Past Year.
The board of directors of The Re-
Company met Monday night
to hear and pass upon the report of
the plant for the fiscal year ended
April 30th. The report showed a
very gratifying growth in business
during the year and that the earn-
had been 10.4 per cent. A
of per cent, payable June
first, was declared. The subscription
list of the daily edition increased
about 1-3 per cent, and the weekly
edition per cent., and the improve-
of its equipment more than
per cent. It has taken a year of hard
work to bring about such results, and
the patronage of the people has shown
their appreciation of the enterprise.
The paper has grown in popularity
with the public as is shown in the
increased subscription list. Being
better equipped for job printing, there
has also been a large increase in that
department.
This morning the stockholders of
the company met to also hear the
report and to elect a board of
rectors for the coming year. The
stockholders were likewise gratified
at the showing the paper was able
to make for the year, and approved
what the officers and directors had
done.
The entire board of directors was
re-elected by unanimous vote. These
are D. J. Whichard, L. Joyner, S.
J. Everett, R. J. Cobb, C. Laugh-
in C. W. Wilson and H.
Whedbee.
Before adjourning the stockholders
extended a vote of thanks to the
president for his efforts to advance
the interest of the company.
The directors met immediately after
the stockholders adjourned and re-
elected the following

IN THE MATTER OF BILLBOARDS
Newspapers Are The Best For Ad-
A new turn has been given to the
matter of billboard advertising by the
action of the organization or circus
owners, which by a vote has deter-
mined to use newspaper advertising
in place of that by billboards. It
was the circus advertising that gave
the send off to the billboards, and if
these live up to their agreement it
will largely tend to abbreviate it, if
not to destroy utterly.
It is the excess of the use of shriek-
pictures in red and yellow and
blue that is bringing about the de-
cadence of the billboard. So great a
nuisance has this become that in
several places there are strict
as to their use, the public
been aroused by the lurid and
of times indecent pictures that thrust
themselves alike upon age and youth.
The rule of conservatism has been
forgot and one billboard advertiser
endeavors to outdo the other in the
flaring of the billboard delineation of
his offerings.
The idea is that the huger and more
glaring the billboard the greater
money-fetcher it will prove, for the
billboard has only existence in the
hope of the nimble dollar.
Time was when the circus and the
were the only patrons of the
billboard. Now everything on the
face of the earth is displaying on it
and the grow bigger, the
more insistent. You see mo-
lasses dripping from them, soda-water
fizzes on them, ice cream parades it-
self, breakfast food chokes itself into
your thought, the cigar looms up
huge and smoky, the oceanic width of
pantaloons and the clinging of hobble
skirts dance upon your vision, while
the various brands of keep
on multiplying. It is a pot of
extravaganza, illustrated on the white
wash brush style that attacks the
public as it passes. It is the
of the man who must shriek,
who thinks that noise is logic.
In the cities where civic improve-
turns to seeing that the
tractive is driven from sight there
has been for years a fight on the
disfiguring billboard, which one day
glows with the colors of the rainbow
and the next is in rags and tatters
from wind and storm, and in some
cases people are refusing to patron-
billboard advertised wares as a
protest against the habit. There are
an increasing number of people in
this country in the fight against the
billboard and strength is added to
the cause by the determination of the
circus owners to cut it out of their
plans of seeking the public patronage
and transferring their advertising to
the News and
Observer.

I take it for granted that you

to talk to you about the American
public place in our civic
life.
To one interested in the growth
of our constitutional his-
and its economic one
interested in the growth and develop-
of our institutions, there is
nothing more than to
trace the- evolution of our public
school system; for this growth and
development is peculiar to our own
nation. Many educators would have

been developed from European sys-

The truth is our system is not
fully developed today; for we are
now undergoing the first stage of its
Metamorphosis. But, what we have,
has been a slow but steady elevation
of the public consciousness for the
need of universal education as the
real foundation for our institutional
stability.
When this new nation sprang into
July 1776, it is true as
stated in the immortal Declaration of
Independence that governments as
instituted among men did derive their
powers from the consent of the gov-
But, as the idea then for
the first time given a national birth,
the idea of political liberty as it grew
and developed we reached a stage
we no longer believe government
derive their just powers from the con-
sent of the governed, but from the
will of the governed. In America
it is not matter of
we will consent to, but a matter of
what we wish done. The govern-
is not a thing apart from our
life, but our life is an integral part
of the government.
It is a noticeable fact in the history
of civilization that people have
liberty in proportion to public
intelligence. Educate the musses
and you eliminate the classes in
government. Education is the
greatest enemy and the
warmest friend. As a nation we
are beginning to that in a
civilization like the one in which we
live, in a nation like ours where the
government rests upon the heads of
an intelligent citizenship, not only
the government itself but the very
civilization depends in no small meas-
upon public education. Our
nation, our state, or our county will
prosper in just the proportion that
public education is fostered. We
may believe this or not, but it is as
true as fate; for it is a natural step
in our evolution.
What is the function of our public
schools Are they to be fostered
simply to keep alive and
teach government, or are they to
touch the heart and life of our people
Is education with us to be as it has
been in the past for leadership alone,
or is it to reach itself down to the
very foundation of our life, lay hold
of the masses of mankind and bring
us to a more vivid realization of our
and opportunities and

Carolina for state aid. If we, do, the
Old North State can not afford to
let the school at Greenville suffer
for a lack of financial aid. The same
is true of every other one of our
state educational institutions.
Turning now to the other division
of our educational system, our pub-
schools, the schools for the great
masses of our people, yes the schools
for over ninety-five per cent, of our
people. The task that confronts us
here almost staggers me. But after
all it is the most important side
of our system; for it is here that
the system reaches itself down to
the home of every citizen of our state,
here it is that the system comes into
vital touch with the people who con-
the yeomanry of our state.
Here it is after all, that the people
will get their education. These are
schools that are the real educational
expression of our Democracy. These
state schools that train for leader-
ship are in part the out-growth of
European civilization, but the public
schools are the pure expression of
American Democracy. They did not
begin until long after our government
had been established. There were
a few free schools in a few localities,
but they were not the expression of
the American idea. It is only quite
recently that the real American pub-
school has come forward. It is
destined to grow and develop until
every child everywhere in this great
land of ours has the educational op-
that belongs to him as an
inheritance of our government.
Never before in our state's history
have our people been so wide awake
to our needs, educationally, A few
years ago it was not hard to find
communities in eastern North Caro-
where good citizens honestly
questioned the advisability of spend-
public funds for public education.
It was indeed a question in the minds
of many whether the state could with
justice to the taxpayer spend the
money raised by taxes for the
cation of all the children in the state.
Today we find our leaders advocating
larger and ever larger appropriations
from the state treasury for the ed-
of our children. Yes the
question now is, shall we as a state
not only furnish the money, but force
the parents to send the child to school
Why this great change in so short

as the progress of the state is de-
pendent upon the education of our

GREATEST MENACE.
Extract From Judge If.
Charge to Barry Grand Jury.
The greatest menace to North
Carolina today is a spirit of lawless-
among certain classes, it is
such that it demands the attention
of every good citizen. During the
past three years as many
have been killed is this state and
nearly every one killed without any
adequate reason. Th is such a
tiling as making violation of the law
respectable. Man. some one has
said, is bundle of and many
men get to be confirmed criminals,
utterly regardless of law, and this
state comes about gradually. The
child contracts the criminal habit
and by the time he is a man he de-
into a confirmed criminal. The
greatest lesson people of
state have to learn Is spirit of
obedience. Which makes the best
citizen, the best man
who obeys the laws or the man who
violates them
There is much criminal negligence
in this state, due to the small value
placed upon human life. There
seems to be an idea in the minds
of many that a man is none the
worse after he takes the life of
his fellowman just so he escapes
the penalties of the law. Some even
think of him as something of a hero.
The man who keeps a vicious

and should this animal kill a man,
his owner is guilty and should be
punished. Any kind of conduct
that is likely to cause the loss of
life needlessly is a violation of the

One of the prettiest of the mar-
this far this spring took place
at S o'clock last evening at the home
of Mr. and Mrs. Charles W.

eldest daughter, Miss Lillian Love
became the bride of Mr.
Roland Cooper Ryan, the youngest
son of Mrs. Nettie R. Ryan and the
late Mr. Arthur Ryan, of Winchester.
The ceremony was performed by
Rev. Dr. J. H. Lacy, pastor of the
Presbyterian church, of which the
bride is a member, and he was as-
by Rev. Dr. George S. Bowers,
pastor of Grace Lutheran church,
which the members of the groom's
family are prominently connected.
The marriage was attended by a
large number of family connections
and friends of the bride and groom
from a distance and this city.
The front and rear parlors of the
home were elaborately
and beautifully decorated for the
in white, yellow and green,
and the young couple plighted their
under a huge marriage bell of
field daises, wild apple blossoms
and honeysuckle, the ring
being performed by the officiating
clergyman.
The wedding march was rendered
by Prof. J. A. the well-known
composer and music master, as the
bridal party entered the parlors.
The bride wore a gown
of white with crystal
trimmings and diamond ornaments,
her veil was caught with bride roses
and she carried a large bunch of

The maid of honor, her
younger sister, Miss Elsie Rams-

and she carried bride roses. Mr.

brother of the groom, served as best
man.
A reception was held immediately
after the ceremony, and later in the
evening Mr. and Mrs. Ryan motored
to Martinsburg, W. Va., where they
boarded a main line Baltimore and

the town of Greenville gave the school
within of the total sum the
state has put into it, and the town
and county of Pitt together
more than the entire state

shame to the state.
Now what are the conditions This

President Wright saw that the

In this country, which is supposed

from one of the government schools
that a young man was told to dis-
continue his attentions to a young
woman because she was only a work-

friendly feeling should prevail. When
the superior officers assume to
the associates of those under

The working classes are just as
good as the members of other more
fortunate classes, and this is being
demonstrated every day when cases
like that of the young man in

for a life companion one of the work-

Cotton As An Asset.
A British expert at Manchester

reduction in the cotton crop of the
United States through vagaries of
weather, attack of parasites or other
causes would be followed by disaster
to the cotton trade and great loss and
suffering to the people. A crop of
bales in the United States ad-

Wireless On All Steamships.
It is barely five years since the
wireless telegraph passed out of the
experimental stage and was
ally recognized as a practical means
of long-distance communication. By
July every ocean-going steamship
leaving an American port that car-
fifty persons, including
and crew, by law must equip-
with a wireless-telegraph outfit
capable of sending messages
miles.
Nothing more important has been
done in many years to increase the
safety of travel at sea than the
installation of wireless. Under the
new system not only, will every
steamship be provided with better
means of self-protection, but it will
be a means of protection for other
ships. The quickness with which re-
lief arrived from different quarters
at the time of the collision that re-
in the sinking of the Republic
demonstrated once for all how here-
after the ocean is to be dotted with
life-saving stations.
Other uses of the wireless at sea
are to be regarded as a convenience
for passengers and owners that could
be dispensed with without great loss.
The compulsory adoption of it by all
passenger-carrying steamships has
now become almost as much of a
safeguard against disaster as a prop-

It is probable that the experience

Pacific coast city has already had
four recall elections, resulting in the
retirement of a mayor and four com-

The steamer City of Norfolk, the
newest steamer of the Chesapeake
Steamship Company, is due to arrive
from Baltimore on her maiden trip
between Norfolk and Baltimore this
morning,
With a large number of passengers
and a large cargo of freight the new
steamer in command of Captain
Thomas, who is well known here,
owing to his frequent visits here in
command of other vessels of the
Chesapeake Steamship Company, left
Baltimore at o'clock last night.
As she has not had her trial trip
in Baltimore, it is thought that she
will be let out on her trip down the
Chesapeake Bay, to see what she
really can do.
Her contract calls for her to make
the trip between Norfolk and
more, a distance of miles, in ten
hours, which is at the rate of
teen-and-a-half miles an hour, and if
the performance of her sister ship
the City of Baltimore can be used as
a comparison, she will have no
trouble in filling contract require-

Telephone System and Wireless.
With her big sister ship, the City of
Baltimore, the City of Norfolk will be
one of the finest vessels plying in the
bay trade, not only in construction,
but also in accommodations and com-
fort for the passengers.
These two vessels have all modern
arrangements and besides having
wireless, have a private branch
phone exchange, extending to all
staterooms on the vessel.
Upon the arrival of the vessel at
either Norfolk or Baltimore, the
phone lines are connected up with
the switchboard at the telephone ex-
change there, so any one can
phone from the boat to his home, an-
his arrival, or for them to
send his automobile or cab to meet
him.
The City of Norfolk and the City of
Baltimore Sister Ships.
The City of Norfolk and the City of
Baltimore are sister ships and are of
the same design and construction.
Their dimensions are as
Length over all, feet; length be-
tween perpendiculars, feet; beam
at deck, feet inches;
beam at water line, feet;
beam over guards, feet;
depth of hold, feet; draft at
nary trim, feet inches.
The machinery will consist of a
four-cylinder, triple-expansion,
face condensing engine, cylinders
measuring 24-40-47-47 inches by
inch stroke. There will be four sin-
and Scotch boilers, feet inches
diameter by feet inches long,
and pound pressure.
Each vessel will have a licensed
passenger capacity of people and
a carrying capacity of tons of
high-class merchandise freight. The
latest type refrigerating plant with a
capacity of cubic feet will be in-
stalled on each vessel.
Steamer Has Staterooms.
There are staterooms, located
as seven on the main deck,
on the saloon deck, and on the
gallery deck. Twelve of the rooms
will connect with baths, which will
have hot and cold, fresh and salt
water, when ten additional rooms
will have hot and cold, fresh and salt
shower baths.
They will be lighted throughout by
electricity. The main saloon is fur-
in mahogany, while the gallery
deck and staterooms are in white
and old ivory. An attractive feature
of the new vessel is the dining room,
which is located on the gallery deck
forward. This enables the passengers
to have a view of the harbors of Nor-
folk and Baltimore while they are en-
joying their meals and the outbound
trip.
Another innovation to be installed
by the Chesapeake Steamship Com-
is a Sunday boat on the trip be-
tween the two largest cities on the
Chesapeake Bay and tributaries-
Norfolk and Baltimore.
As both of the new vessels of the
company, the City of Norfolk and the
City of Baltimore are in commission
the Sunday service will be
rated on next Sunday

Its Effect On The Present High Cost
Of Living.
In discussing the little phrase
of high we want to
it with as it exists in the
American home of moderate means.
Folly causes waste among the idle
rich; ignorance causes it among the
wretchedly poor. But in the home
over which there presides an
intelligent, earnest woman, why
should there be waste Because
and earnestness go down be-
fore three factors of modern life
haste, false values and false pride.
The little leaks which in the end rep-
resent the cost of high living can be
traced to one of these three causes.
Of late years the American woman
has adopted the slogan of her
band and son, is She
seizes upon every time-saving de-
vice. She rushes her housekeeping
as her husband rushes his employees.
The result is a peculiar form of high
living in the home did not exist

Investigators have reported that only
one-third of the housekeepers in
American cities and towns do their
own marketing. The other two-thirds
it, save on special occasions,
to servants, children and the
phone. In the average town where
the telephone service is unlimited
three-fourths of the ordering at the
butcher shops and groceries is done
over the wire. Dealers all approve
the telephone method because it is a
for them as well as the
customer. Many of them maintain
that it is fully as economical for the
housewife, but actual investigation
proves that this is not rue. The
housewife who her meals and
green vegetables with personal care
and discusses comparative prices of
different brands in groceries saves
from five to fifteen per cent, on her
orders. These figures were furnished
by representatives of three reliable
firms in as many typical American
New York, Detroit and
more, and the same figures have been
found to hold good in smaller cities
and towns. Yours may be the ex-
to the rule, but find out for

Also when some enormous log, thirty
or forty feet long and two or three

TAFT ANTAGONIZES PROGRESSIVES
Is Keeps
In Close Touch With
Progressives Given One-Fourth
Representation on Committees
is Worried.
Clyde
Washington, May
The group of Senate Tories is still
able to exert a tremendous influence
upon legislation. Having packed the
important committees with men who
take the corporation attitude toward
the particular legislation to come
before those committees, the
are in a position to con-
serving special privilege by ob-
and perhaps preventing,
the passage of legislation desired
by the people.
Among those whom the public may
safely rely upon to oppose most of
the progressive house measures are
Smoot,
Stephenson, Lodge, Oliver,
Warren, Perkins and a dozen others,
who will at all times have the hearty
co-operation of Vice-President Sher-
man.
Back of this group of reactionaries
are arrayed the tariff trusts, the
railroads, Wall street, Standard Oil
and the balance of the organized
; wealth of the country.
The Democrats and Progressive
Republicans are pitied against this
combination. The two forces will,
when necessary, combine to prevent
the passage of a bad bill, but they
will be helpless at times to prevent
the Tories from obstructing the
passage of Democratic legislation
such as the free list bill.
About, the only thing the average
can do is to keep tab on the
votes of his individual
in both and senate, not-
particularly whether they vote for
or against measures desired by the
people, and when election , times
rolls around to act accordingly.
Senator De
Cooperating with the senate
who are planning to kill
the free list bill and other similar
anti-trust measures, is Nelson
Aldrich, of Island.
Mr. Aldrich is connected with
an institution of his own creation,
called the monetary commission. The
commission has a suite of rooms
adjoining the rooms occupied by the
committee, to which the free
list bill will go.
If it should happen, opines the
Cleveland Press, that the door were
open between the rooms of the
committee and the rooms of the
monetary commission, it might hap-
pen that former Senator Aldrich
might communicate with Senator
the new chairman of the
finance committee, and thus the ti-
head of the senate majority
might have the benefit of the views
of the ex-leader possibly lead-
de of the United States
senate.
As a matter of fact, Mr. Aldrich
keeps in as close touch with the men
trained to be reactionaries as
when he was actually a member of
the senate.
Taft Antagonizes Progressives.
President Taft took the leading
part in the fight against giving the
progressive Republicans of the sen-
ate the committee places they de-
which fight resulted in
leaving all the big senate commit-
tees the same citadels of special
privilege that they were in the
congress.
Before the Republican caucus was
held the regular Republicans of the
senate signed an agreement by which
they agreed to give the progressives
a one-fourth representation on all
the committees. Senator
who signed the agreement for the
regulars, is said to have bitterly
his regular colleagues for
putting him in the position of break-
his political word, which he de-
he had always especially
prided himself upon keeping
late.
It now develops that
breach of faith with the progressives
was forced by white house pressure.
President Taft considers progressives
like La his personal enemies
and he does not want them in a
position to assist in bringing about
the passage of legislation like the
free list bill, which they
could do by combining with the
Democrats if given the
on the big committees to which
their numerical strength entitles
Schedule Is Neat
Schedule K, the joker-filled wool
schedule of the tariff
law, will be the subject of the first
general tariff revision of the Demo-
house.
All the jokers by which rates have
been piled one upon another until
the total has been far in excess of
per cent, are to be abolished.
Likewise there will be abolished
the infamous provisions of the Payne-
Aldrich law, by which material con-
wool, but really made of cot-
ton, is taxed as wool. The average
reduction on all items in the woolen
schedule is expected to reach at least
per cent.
What the Democrats propose will
cause a tremendous outcry from the
woolen trust and its allies, the pro-
of raw wool, and will, no
doubt, provoke men like Warren, of
Wyoming, of Island,
and the other high protectionists of
the senate into predicting the down-
fall of the nation.
is Worried.
United States Attorney General
is worrying. He is
afraid the investigations to be made
into the affairs of the steel trust,
sugar trust, shoe trust and woolen
trust will give these concerns
from prosecution. As all of
these concerns, with the exception
of a few a week employees of
the sugar trust, have enjoyed
lute immunity from prosecution and
investigation since the day Mr. Wick-
left the service of the sugar
trust to become the chief
officer of the government, it is
difficult to understand how the
which they might receive, but
will not, through congressional
could be any more com-
than the immunity Mr. Wick-
has given them.
Should be Interesting.
The inquiry to be made by the
house of representatives into the pol-
machine of Postmaster Gen-
Hitchcock is one in which the
whole country will interested. The
resolution of inquiry directs the post-
office committee to determine how
much political work is performed by
postmasters and subordinate officers
in the of the country, and
by what authority they neglect theft
official duties and violate the civil
service law. It has long been
ed that through department
patronage the postmaster general
has established a machine for the
control of delegates to the national
convention.

PROOF ESTABLISHED.
Half a Million Were Liberated at
Greenville Monday Afternoon.
By Monday afternoon's Norfolk
Southern twelve cans containing a
half million young shad were brought
to Greenville. The young fish were
from the government shad hatchery
at Edenton, and were in charge of
Mr. L. J. Copeland, who is
with the hatchery. The fish were
taken directly from the depot to the
wharf where Mr. Copeland liberated
them in Tar liver.
This is the first planting of young
shad ever made in Tar river, and it
was through the efforts of Congress-
man John H. Small that this ship-
was sent here. President H. A.
White, of the chamber of Commerce,
Agent J. L. Hassell, of the Norfolk
Southern, and the editor of The
Reflector Mr. Copeland
to the wharf to plant the fish.
Mr. Copeland said these young shad
were hatched last Saturday, and they
will attain their growth in three
years when they will return to the
river in which they were liberated.
He also said that from the best
statistics obtainable of these plant-
about per cent, of them live
and reach their growth. If this
holds good three years hence should
find a large run of shad up Tar river.

HILL BE INVESTIGATED
A Democratic Investigation of a Re-
publican Administration.
The house Democrats have an-
that when they have passed
a certain number of bills which will
occupy the attention of the senate
for weeks or months to come, they
will proceed to investigate the ex-
and methods of the ex-
departments. There is no
reason why they should not do this,
and there are many reasons why they
should do it with great thoroughness.
A Republican administration, like
the present one, which has had every
opportunity to render the country
faithful and honorable service, should
welcome investigation and should
have pride in making an exhibit of
all its expenditures and transactions.
The post office department, for ex-
ample, should be glad to make the
fullest showing of the way in which
it has used its opportunities during
the past two years, and should
come the chance to give good and
sufficient reasons for many activities
that the country would like to know
about Mr. Aldrich, as the leader of
the Republican senate declared that
proper business methods in the de-
would save Uncle
several hundred million dollars each
year. It would be useful to see if
candid, searching, friendly inquiry by
Democratic committees of the house
might not help to bring about
economies. American Re-

hookworm disease. Doctor Coving-

this important appointment,
and on having the opportunity for
extending his valuable work over a
large territory. He, like the other
three directors already in the state,
is well fitted for his office. He re-

College, and his medical
cation at the University of North
Carolina and the University of Mary-
land. After serving as hospital

built up a splendid practice, has held
important medical appointments, and
won the esteem of the country at
large.

director of the campaign, make four

to making die examinations for hook-
worm infection.
Since the beginning of the campaign
more than people in the state
have availed themselves of the op-

one-third of them have shown
infection. The rapid progress made

upon the opportunity to help furnish

This country needs twice as much
railroad mileage as it has. With
double tracking and new lines to be
built, it is asserted that it is
for the United States during the
next ten years to double the present
trackage. Then there is needed
millions to keep up equipment and
furnish new equipment required for
needed railroad development in this
country.
American capital is losing
for development all over this
country. In the South there is an
awfully big hole for the absorption of
investments. Rich resources in the
South are neglected because of the
lack of capital. Thousands of miles
of new railroads are needed and min-
and agricultural development
await the quickening influences of
capital. Millions of dollars are need-
ed for industrial development and
vast sums of money are required to
drain millions of acres of swamp and
lands, to build good roads,
to equip towns and cities with sewer-
age, water, streets, etc. Indeed, there
is unlimited use for capital in the
South, and American capitalists do
not have to be anxious to loan money
in China. Let American capitalists
look around in North Carolina and
they will behold opportunities for in-

CONFEDERATE VETERANS
HOLD AL REUNION.
Large Crowd
Speech by Mr.
This Memorial Day dawned bright
and balmy, and at an early hour
were coming in town to attend
the reunion of Bryan Grimes Camp
of Confederate veterans.
Before the hour of assembling, the
veterans met and chatted each other,
while the visitors sought out places
of advantage to view the parade.
At ten o'clock the line formed on
Third street near the court house
square, and headed by a drum corps
marched out Evans and Ninth streets
to the Star warehouse, where the ex-
took place. There were about
veterans in line.
At the warehouse a large crowd
had assembled, the Daughters of the
Confederacy and Children of the
Confederacy also going in a body.
Here Mr. R. W. King, chairman of
the committee of arrangements, call-
ed on Rev. C. M. Rock for the in-
vocation.
An address of welcome to the
tors, eloquent and cordial, was de-
livered by Mayor F. M. Wooten.
Major Harding, Commander of
Bryan Grimes Camp, responded to
the address of welcome, and extend-
ed greetings to his comrades.
A class from the Training School

on the Old Camp
was sung by the Training School
class, which was followed with a
recitation to Conquered Ban-
by Miss Nina Harris.
Mr. J. B. James then in
ate words introduced the orator of
the day, Mr. Albion Dunn. Mr. Dunn
in recounting the deeds of valor of
Lee and Jackson, made one of the
most brilliant Memorial Day ad-
dresses that the veterans of Pitt
county have had the pleasure of
hearing at any of their reunions. In
concluding ho paid a beautiful
to Gen. Bryan Grimes in whose
honor the camp of Pitt county is
named. The Reflector would have
been glad to print the speech in full,
but its length forbid that, and it was
too excellent to give In broken ex-
tracts. It was a master piece of
oratory and those who heard it en-
Joyed a feast.
At the conclusion of Mr. Dunn's
admirable address, Commander H.
Harding stated to the camp that
the only compensation the ladies and
others requested in return for this
day's pleasure provided for the old
soldiers, was that they should give

came the yell sounded with
spirit.
There were then cries from the
camp for and our
citizen responded in a few
words of cheer and Incidents of the

In the last twelve months I have
been through our country to

southern states to Mississippi, and
can truthfully say to you I have not
seen a section with greater
ties than we have here at home. I
see no reason why we should not
have here as prosperous, as happy a
people as the world in all her full-
can produce. Our climate for
the twelve months is as fine as can

itself to fertility, and the native i

We are about the most
people on the American
continent, and we will remain so if
we awake to our opportunities. But
if we do not awake to our
ties, struggling humanity in less
localities will straggle in and
take possession by degrees and our
sons and daughters will gradually
sell their birthright for a mess of
pottage.
Friends let me insist upon it, the
safe guard of our liberties and the
key to our prosperity, is education.
But our people will never be prop-
educated until the teachers have
been properly trained for this
serious civic duty. It is
a conscious realization of this

of the responsibilities resting upon
you to make the preparation you

you are now undertaking and I don't
care where you get your preparation,
just so you get it. But the trained
teacher must have the support of
the people.
