THE E. C. T. T. S.
The commencement exercises of
East Carolina Training
School began Sunday morning with
the annual sermon which was
preached by Rev. Charles E. Maddry,
pastor of the Statesville Baptist
church. All the churches of the
town were closed and a very large
assembled in the
of the Training School.
At o'clock the student body led
by the marshals filed Into the hall
and filled the front seats, the
ting class occupying the first row.
The service began with singing two
stanzas of Thou Almighty
by the school and audience,
and Rev. J. H. Shore, pastor of the
Methodist church, offered prayer.
This was followed by a beautiful an-
them sung by the school.
Rev. Charles E. Maddry read the
37th chapter of Exodus, the story of
Joseph's dream, the resultant envy
of his brethren and subsequent sale
to Egyptian slavery, and took for his
text Gen. the Lord was
with Joseph and he was a prosperous
The dedicatory of the masterly
eloquent sermon which followed was
a comparison of Joseph's life to a
musical Impediments, the
tangle and the open. Joseph, he
said, was an never lost
hope, though at a time in his career
he was plunged into the very depths
of a dungeon. The difference between
the optimist and the pessimist is the
failure of the latter in the ability to
see. The world's great need in this
new century is more
who see.
A scene unusual in Greenville's his-
and as beautiful as it was novel,
was that presented by the
class of East Carolina Teach-
school in their
that were held on the campus
Monday evening. A large crowd had
assembled in the grove on the west
end of the campus, and it seemed as
if nature had selected the spot for
special occasion. A more beautiful
and fitting selection could not have
been made.
At o'clock the entire school filed
out of the administration building and
to the music of the Washington
band, marching in double column
down the widening walk through the
lawn, then around by the park into
which they circled to the place
for the exercises. Every girl
was dressed in spotless white and
they made a beautiful picture as
they marched in perfect step to the
music. The school was divided in
classes, the freshmen leading, each
class bearing a banner with the year
in which it would graduate. The
class of 1911 came in the rear, en-
closed in a rope of bamboos en-
twined with white roses, the class
flower.
Reaching the place wired off for
the class exercises, the column halt-
ed and opened ranks for the seniors
to pass, then filed through in reverse
column forming a semi-circle be-
hind the class.
The seniors entwined the garland
they carried around the class tree and
sang the class Then Miss Lillie
Tucker, the president, stepped to the
and delivered the address of
welcome, which was as
President Members of the
faculty, fellow students, ladies and
In behalf of the class of 1911, the
first graduating class of our beloved
institution, I extend to you a cordial
welcome to our class exercises.
We have gathered around our tree
to hold our last class meeting as
seniors for purpose of burying
our records and inaugurating a
tom which we trust will continue to
exist long after we are gone; and
also for the purpose of setting a
precedent which, we hope will be
followed by all future classes.
In looking back over the past two
years during which we have striven
together, we see that many improve-
might have been made, but
whatever have been our fa Its, our
hearts have been true.
In making the record of our deeds
a part of our school soil, we at the
same time promise that the deeds
themselves will form a part of, and
help to nourish the institution which
has so greatly befriended us. No one
can ever know what it has meant for
us to be here; to be with these up-
lifting influences, to be one in
pose and desire.
Few people can realize what It
means, has meant, or will mean to
hundreds of girls to have such as
this school open to them and with-
in their reach. We would not let
this opportunity pass to thank the
noble hearted men who saw the need
of such an institution and who help-
ed to land It. Especially do we thank
the county of Pitt and the town of
Greenville for the great part they
played in making our school just
what it is.
In giving expression of our
we, at the same time, offer in
return for all our school has done
for us, our hearts, our hopes our lives
in the great work of training the
children under care into a higher
life.
We hope to see our alma mater
prosperous and grow and we pledge
ourselves to be ever loyal and true
to its interests.
To you, fellow students, we entrust
the keeping of this spirit. May you

When the news was spread abroad
that the new C. T. T. S. would be
ready for the reception of students
October 1909, about responded
to the call, anxious to take the train-
to become teachers. They came
from many parts of the state, and
one from Virginia, although the ma-
was from Eastern Carolina.

rival here, and of the trials and joys
of the first few days and weeks re-
main with us The merry times
had fixing up our new rooms, select-
closet curtains, getting acquainted
etc. We were all green together, so
of course, the greatest harmony
On October the first student body
of the E. C. T. T. S. assembled in
the auditorium for general directions
from our president, with reference to
registration and classification. After
registering, or giving a history of
ourselves in to the office, we went the
rounds of the faculty to be classified.
Not a few there who remembered
about the texts they had
studied, except the color of the book.
But in a remarkably short time the
teachers had sized up the situation
and we were set off as A, B, and C
classes, with work assigned. Real
work it was, too, from the very first,
for despite the fact that we had no
desks except benches borrowed from
the churches, no lights except small
oil lamps, no maps, and no black-
boards, the work went
ahead like Mr. Frazier and his
Among things discussed at our
chapel exercises at that time was the
absence of rules and regulations.
Our president said we would begin
with a clean sheet, and rules would
come only as needed. Alas they
did come, all too soon. In those days
till December , we had no lights to
give us the wink, and it was found
that some girls did not know when
to go to bed. They also did not know
when to visit. So of course, as we
were here to develop every side of
our brains, we had to learn. Then,
by sad experience, we learned that
it was best not to leave the campus,
not to be late to meals, and that
study hour must be strictly kept if
we were to do good work.
Among the first organizations to be
formed in our new school was a Y.
W. C. A. One of our members, Pattie
was elected president. Nearly
all the girls in school became
and so successfully was it man-
aged that it has since been an in-
factor in the school.

SETTLING LANDS.
What Has Happened In North
Carolina Locality.
Some of the finest and most flour-
settlements in the Southern
States is the Sunny South Colony at
Chadbourn, N. C. The colony
pies cut-over lands and the thrifty
settlement there is successor to the
Messrs. Chadbourn, of Wilmington,
who twenty odd years ago conduct-
ed at Chadbourn one of the biggest
sawmills in the long leaf pine region
of North Carolina.
The big mill exhausted the timber,
the machinery was removed and
Chadbourn became an insignificant
railroad station with probably a half
a dozen or more little houses and one
small store. The mill, however,
didn't do a thing to the land, but
there it laid in idleness, awaiting
publicity to bring it to the attention
of and who
might convert the region into a
prosperous agricultural country. The
scribe who is writing this went down
there some years ago with Messrs.
William II. James Chadbourn
and he was the first to give the Chad-
country its initial round of pub-
Subsequently Mr. Joseph A.
Brown saw the possibilities of the
country surrounding him at Chad-
and he got busy and origin-
the Sunny South Colony scheme.
He spent some money for publicity
away from home, where it would
catch the eyes of the farmers of the
Middle West and Northwest, home-
seekers excursions were run from
Chicago. Farms were sold by the
score and then by the hundreds, and
today Chadbourn is a thriving town
with its successful bank, several large
mercantile establishments, its school,
its churches and its pretty homes.
The country around Chadbourn built
the town, for enterprising and in-
Western and Northern farm-
bought the farms and converted
the cut-over lands into a garden spot
reaching for miles. Profitable farm-
trucking, fruit-growing and straw
berry culture has been the order of
the day from the to finish, and
just the past few days a mint of
money has been paid out at Chad-
for strawberries alone. Pub-
and Joe Drown started it and
he is one of the happiest most sue
of all the men in the now
populous and flourishing community
at and around Chadbourn.
There are plenty of those cut-over
lands in Eastern North Carolina and
they offer fine opportunities for some

Sets
The following is a letter in which
Governor Aycock makes known his
Raleigh, N. C, May 1911.
Col. B. Whitfield,
Kinston, N. C.
Dear I have given much con-
not only to your letter,
but to the numerous letters which I
have received along the same line.
I have been gratified to find
that, without solicitation or
on my part, and in spite of
my previous statement that I would
not be a candidate for the senate,
great numbers of people from all
callings in the state have urged me,
by letter, by messages and in person,
to reconsider the question and be-
come a candidate. One who has
been in public life and who has en-
joyed the support and confidence of
the people can never free himself
from the obligation of giving due
consideration to any call which the
people make upon him. The re-
quests from all parts of the state,
and from people in all stations of
life, have been so numerous and
as to lead me to the con-
that it is my duty to say to
the people that, if chosen by the
Democratic party and by the
legislature, I shall be glad to serve
North Carolina in the United States
senate.
It is unnecessary for me to en-
any personal platform, it be-
well-known throughout the state
that I have always stood on the Nat-
and state Democratic platforms
without question, as I do
that the assembled wisdom of the
Democracy of the nation and state
is far greater than my own. I shall
make no campaign looking to my
selection for the My
financial condition is such that it is
absolutely essential that I pursue my
profession as a lawyer with unabated
energy until such time as the people
shall lay other duties upon me. I
have no money to spend perfecting an
organization, and if I had it I am
convinced that the greatest evil of
this day, politically, is the use of
money in securing nominations and
elections, and I therefore would not
use it if I were able to command a
fund requisite for such purpose. In
addition to this reason for refusing
to attempt an organization in behalf
of my candidacy, I have a feeling that
the would be worthless
to me if secured by any such
If I shall go to the senate I
must go free from special obligation
to any set of men, and therefore,
equal obligation to every man.
Going to the senate in this way would
put me in a position to give to the
people the highest service of which
I am capable. I shall therefore en-
trust my candidacy, without
to the people of the state, and
shall not seek to shape their
by organization or by personal
appeals to them.
I cannot under any circumstances
enter into a canvass with a view to
presenting to North Carolinians my
own deserts. If I have any, they are
known to the people of this state, and
they know best whether whatever
I have is likely to be useful to
them. When the time for the
opening of the political campaign, I
shall next year, as in all election years
heretofore, tender my services to the
party organization to do battle in be-
half of Democratic principles. The
speeches which I shall then make will
be made in the service of the Demo-
party and without regard to
their possible effect upon my own per-
interests. If in the end of the
campaign, the people select any other
candidate for the United States sen-
ate, I shall cheerfully acquiesce in the
result. Public service when honestly
rendered is the most difficult and
painful of all service, and the
faction to be derived therefrom be-
comes manifest to one only after the
service has been rendered in fidelity
to the trust of the people, and when
in private life he can receive the just
praise of his fellow citizens for faith-
to their interests. I have
served the people of this state once
in high office. I have enjoyed since
than the constant and increasing
confidence of the people of North
Carolina in the integrity of my
pose when governor, and the
which they have since shown
me of the which I was then
able to do for the state. It is with
a like hope that I permit myself to
announce to the people through you
my candidacy for the United States
senate.
Very truly yours,
C. B. AYCOCK.

Soon class spirit began to manifest

build tobacco barns, and other ex-

An important fact to know in the

hold about two gallons, says the Live
Stock World. If the horse is fed his
grain first, then hay and then water,
the grain will be pushed out of the
stomach before it is digested. The best
way is to water first, then feed some
bay, and then the grain. In case the
horse is warm it would not do to give
all the water it would take, but it
should be given a little even then.
During the warm weather, it would
be well if the horse be watered in the

Washington, May Although
Republicans proclaim that
practically every farmer in the land
is against reciprocity, the fact is that
the wonderful growth of pub-

Congressman Ralph W. Moss, of
Indiana, a farmer himself, and one
of the best friends of the
occupying a seat in the halls
of congress, established this fact be-
successful contradiction in a
strong speech delivered on the floor
of the house. Mr. Moss cinched his
point by presenting the actual
in which the great
of farmers pledged themselves
to work for reciprocity.
The great national movement

States to advance reciprocal

It means a battle royal against in-

because it is right.
Mr. Moss went on to show that
the conference was attended by more

marked with a card on which was
the picture of a senior in cap and
gown.
Tally cards were distributed by
Master Robert Wright and little Miss

A Pleasant Hour on
E. C. T. T. S. Campus.
Today at one o'clock one of the
most pleasant outings of the season
was had on the beautiful campus of
the E. C. T. T. S. The class of
which Miss Graham is class adviser,
assembled on one of the beautiful
hills, shaded with elegant oaks as if
nature had prepared it for a scene
of pleasure and had indeed a real
The entire faculty of the
school was invited to partake of the
good things with them. It did not
take much observation to see that
they gladly availed themselves of the
opportunity, and some of them at
least did full the delicious
dinner that had been prepared. No
more pleasant, and to many of us, no
more profitable hour has been spent
on the closing days of the school, than
this one was.
A beautiful Incident occurred just
Still Captured.
Sheriff S. I. Dudley, with Deputy
Walter Patrick, captured a large
whiskey still in the neighborhood of
Helen's cross roads, Swift Creek
township, about midnight Thursday
night. Twelve barrels of beer were
destroyed and the still brought to
town.

AYCOCK FOR SENATOR.

of day laborer and financial small
fry, and a dollar circulating openly
on main street would draw a larger
and a wilder crowd than the greatest
show on earth.
The people of the state are inter-
in a letter published in the state
papers, written by Chief Justice
Clark, announcing himself a can-
for the United States senate,
to succeed Senator F. M. Simmons.
It is generally understood through-
out the state that ex-Governor
dock will become a candidate for
the senate if sufficiently urged; that
Governor Kitchin will be a
date, and that Senator Simmons is a
candidate for re-election, and now
Chief Justice Clark comes into the
race. The chief justice is certainly
another strong man in the race. As
chief justice he has demonstrated the
fact that he is a strong and
man, fearless and honest. His
record on the Supreme court bench
and on the Superior court bench has
excited admiration of which he should
feel proud.
The value of music in public
schools was emphasized with much
force during the recent commencement
of East Carolina Training

more keenly enjoyed by the audiences
than the music, especially the
ruses by the entire school. This

be gladly welcomed by thousands of
the people of the state and his get-

inroads into the strength of some-
body else. Aycock is popular with music was of such a character as to
all classes and factions and he will
sent back to the state by correspond-
in that city. Mr. T. J. Pence,
Washington correspondent of the
Raleigh News and Observer, tells that
paper that Former Governor C. B.
Aycock, will be a candidate for the
United States senate, and that an-
to that effect will be made
in the next few days.

of the other men, that is that would
have been divided among the other
men if he hadn't gotten into the
race. Mr. Aycock is probably as gen-
popular with the people as
either one of the other three men,
but whether or not the fact that he
is not arrayed with either one of the
factions and cliques of the party in
the state will prove a source of
strength to him remains to be seen.
It is likely that the fight will prove
to be an Intensely factional one, and
the very intensity of it may serve

The primary to nominate a
date for mayor of Greenville has been
set for next Monday, 29th. While
each of the candidates is expected to
do plenty of hard work between now,
and the closing of the polls, the out-
look is that it will be conducted on a
high plane with nothing to arouse any
discord or bad feeling. That is the
way a primary should be conducted.
Strange as it may seem, much of
the North Carolina political news
has its Washington and is
The onward march for good roads
in North Carolina is something that

to come in every section, and as
great a county as Pitt is not going

be classed as a back number. We

must have the best of everything
else.
Ex-Governor Aycock has really en-

something may be expected of Mr.

We have heard of one man in Pitt

it hurts his feelings to think how
they are spending money on it.

There are now four candidates in
the race for United States senator.
To keep up with the number Green-

SENIOR CLASS.
At the conclusion of the will the
executors named therein distributed
the bequests, much to the amusement
of the beneficiaries and the audience.
Next came another amusing feat-
in the class prophecy by miss
Nellie Pender, which was as fol-
lows
Class Prophecy.
When my class elected me prophet
I accepted the honor, feeling sure
that it would be a delightful task to
foretell the future of my class mates
when once the prophetic mantle was
thrown around me. But no prophetic
mantle appeared and no inspiration
came, despite the fact that I sought
it continually. I even went out of
my way to sit and dream in every
place where it seemed possible for
such inspiration to lurk. This was
all in vain was reduced to a
condition of despair. I tore my hair
in anguish; I watched my class mates
like a hawk to get an idea of their
future intentions. All my friends
were asked for a likely source of in-
until I they were avoid-
me; If I a merry
group, excuses were made and I was
soon left alone.
At last one day when a friend had
just skilfully avoided me, I resolved
to seek our class tree with the hope
of finding here some measure of
solace. Accordingly I wended my
way the little oak and seat-
myself at its foot I was soon lost
in thought. Absently I pushed aside
some leaves and to my amazement a
black object was revealed. Upon fur-
investigation it proved to be a
book about the size of a large
bound in dull black and fas-
with a heavy brass clasp. I
pressed the clasp and the book fell
open before me. In it was a green
jumble of marks which looked more
like Chinese characters than any-
thing else. I rubbed my eyes in or-
to see the characters better and
took another look. What was my
surprise to find that the writing was
now as legible to me as English.
The book was dated
and these were the words I

affection she had long held.
On the opposite page was the
name, Ida Bullock
which I could not quite make I
regret that the last part of the name
as well as most of the writing was
blurred. But I was able to make out
enough to learn that sometime in the
year 1912 she acquired a of

result. Just as I was about to give
up I saw a second division.

ANOTHER GOOD MEETING
MEN'S PRAYER LEAGUE
WAS HELD SUNDAY AFTERNOON.
I My Brother's Keeper f The
Subject For Discussion.
Many men of Greenville attend the
Men's Prayer League each Sunday
and receive great personal
benefit therefrom; and those who stay
away are missing much.
The meeting in the Christian church
Sunday afternoon was led by Vice-
President F. M. Wooten. The topic
for discussion was I My Broth-

men talk about practical things, that

, out the practical, social, moral,
educational and civil phases of the
subject, showing our dependence one

The Weeder or the Harrow.
The question has been raised as to
whether our statements relative to
the usefulness of the weeder have not
been misleading.
The editorial statements regarding
the weeder, we believe, have been
strictly correct. We have stated that
it was the one implement which the
one-horse farmer could use for rapid
cultivation and that it was a splendid
implement for the two-horse farmer in
cultivating his crops.
But we have always stated that the
weeder will not prove satisfactory
when thorough preparation is not
given, nor on heavy lands or
run together to form a hard crust.
In these- cases the smoothing harrow
should always take the place of the
weeder.
It is then asked, why not the

I put the two men on as regular hands

acres of ground to raise their own
vegetables on. Gave them seed and
had my foreman show them how to
plant and care for their stuff. I told
them they had homes now, and all
they had to do was to take care of
them.

GIVE OP THE
PREPARED TOBACCO LAND
MR L. SUGGESTS
A Word To The Tobacco Farmers of
Eastern North Carolina.
Although at this time, many farm-
may feel disposed to plant the
land prepared for tobacco in other
crops, on account of the prolonged
and great scarcity of plants,
yet I would urge you not to do this,
at least for several days. This has
been an unusually peculiar spring.
We have had very little rainfall,
comparatively speaking, and it has
been the coldest, on an average, of
any year in a number of yet
nature always corrects her own
and it is reasonably certain that
tobacco planted any time during this
month on a season, will have ample
time for development, and under
proper care and cultivation, there is
no reason why a good tobacco crop
cannot be made, even if planted at
this, to many of us, very late.
The tendency of our tobacco grow-
for the last few years has been
to get out their crops at the very
earliest possible date, and as a con-
sequence of this diligent effort on
their part, the transplanting season
has been moved earlier and earlier
each year, until the last few years
we have planted the crop of
co three or weeks than
it was planted ten or twelve years
ago. I believe farmers will find it
to their interest to plant the land
they intended for tobacco, in
co, if it can be done any time up to
the first few days of June, this year,
especially. The season is from three
to four weeks later than usual, and
there will very probably be
for this unusual condition in
a late season, which will give tobacco
ample time for perfect development
under normal conditions.
My position for the last few years
has been for a reduced tobacco acre-
age, because I believed a reduction
in acreage was necessary for profit-
able prices. The acreage has been
reduced, and seasons have still fur-
reduced the production, and I
now believe farmers will fin it to
their interest to plant tobacco.

daughter of Mr. E. O. that

splendid young lady, beloved by a
large circle of friends. Since she left

of people whom we have had to
write cannot accommodate

three.
Lat year the course of study was
not definitely agreed upon until later
in the school year. There are in our
graduating class two young ladies
who took subjects in lieu of subjects
that were later made required sub-
for graduation from this school.
As a result of this these young ladies
can not be given diplomas today. It
is no fault of theirs, however. They
are going to take work here this sum-
mer and will be given diplomas when
they have completed this work, and
will be considered full fledged
of this, our first graduating
class. They are Misses Ruth Ruffin
and Lillian Carr.
There are two or three other young
ladies who have not completed the
course, but have only a limited amount
of work. It is the purpose of this
school to give diplomas to students
whenever they satisfactorily com-
the prescribed course of study.
The school is divided into four
quarters. As soon as the general as-
of North Carolina sees fit to
give sufficient funds to allow, it is
the purpose of this institution to ad-
students beginning of any
one of the four quarters. Our course
of study is so arranged that students
may join the school four times a
year. Our so-called
is not a summer school in the sense
that term is generally used, but is
simply a quarter of our school year.
A year ago this institution
rated what is known as a One Year
Course of Study for Teachers of Rural
Schools. This course of instruction
is open only to those who hold first
or second grade county superintend-
certificates. This course has
been offered because the institution
realized that many teachers as well
as prospective teachers would avail
themselves of one year's instruction
if they could find a course of
that would give them material
help in their work. We are most
gratified with the results of this
course. The following young women

C. Presentation of certificates.
Ex-Governor T. J. Jarvis intro-
the speaker. In the
remarks he took occasion to ex-
press his own pleasure at being pres-
congratulated the school upon
the splendid work it had done, and
congratulated the community upon
having such an excellent Institution.
He had always watched Winterville
High School with interest and was
proud of its record.
Prof. took for his sub-
Widening Sphere of.
He said the had
yet dawned in education in North
Carolina, but we were catching the
first gray streaks of its coming.
There are three things we need to
bring the dawn. First, teachers. As
the teacher, so is the school. As the
teacher, so is the community. The
teacher is the soul of our educational
process, the what and how.
Second, money. We cannot have
schools and education without money.
There are- but two ways to get
money for education, one by
and the other by local
taxation. About one-third of what
is expended upon the public schools
in North Carolina comes from local
taxation.
Third, compulsory attendance. This
is one of the great needs in North
Carolina, to compel parents to send
their children to school. We have
got to get out of the old ways.
We make progress in all things
else, and the schools must respond.
The school of the future will widen
its sphere to public health.
is of no value unless there is
health to properly use it. Have the
children of our schools examined and
a large per cent, of them will be
found suffering with affections of
either eyes, nose and or ears.
A child is often blamed for
backward in its studies, when the
trouble is due to physical conditions.
The child is suffering and cannot
study. A sound mind and a sound
body must go together.
The future school will also have
baths. is next to God-
and the proper use of soap
and water should be emphasized in
the schools. And physical culture
should not be neglected.
Prof. gave some start-
ling statistics of deaths that occur
from preventable disease, and said
that the school of the future should
extend its sphere to check this great
loss of human life. It can done
through proper education. The
of contagion through public
drinking cups was emphasized with
force. Underfeeding children was
another matter pointed out that re-
their health and educational
progress. A child should never be
allowed to go to school hungry.
The school of the future will not
only take into the mental
development, but will look after
health and physical development as
well. It will also extend Its sphere
to the home, to domestic science, to
art. Agriculture In the schools must
also come. Seventy-five per cent, of
the people of North Carolina are
rural, hence the school is a failure
that floes not instruct pupils along
the avocations they are to follow
and prepare them for their life work.
Prof. address was
thoroughly practical and gave his
hearers something to think seriously
about.
The diplomas to the graduating
class were presented by ex-Gov.
Jarvis in words most appropriate, and
that showed the deep interest in this

young people.

Society. The query was,

be Elected by Direct Vote of the
The affirmative speakers
were G. N. Johnson, W. H. and
G. H. Cox. Negative, C. E. Lang-
L. G. Whitley, and R. C. Causey.
The young men handled their res-
sides of the debate well and
acquitted themselves with much
credit. The judges, ex-Gov. Jarvis.
Prof. and Rev. M. A.
Adams, gave their decision in, favor
of the negative, but it was close.
At o'clock p. m., the annual con-
cert was given to a packed hall. Ex-
attention was given through-
out the entire program.
Thin has passed into history the
eleventh session in which
dents were enrolled, representing
and states. The work
and deportment of the students has
been of a high order.
All the old faculty will be back next
year with the exception of Prof. H.
F. who resigned. We regret
deeply that he will not be back. He
is a man of excellent Christian char-
and has done work.
Rev. Jno. R. Carroll, who grad-
yesterday at Wake Forest, has
been elected as assistant principal.
He has made an enviable reputation
at Wake Forest and we consider our-
selves exceedingly fortunate in
curing his service for next year. The
new Will be in press in
a few days.
Winterville High School Is an in-
of Pitt county and
all of Eastern North Carolina feels
proud. It has sent out many noble
young people to honorably fill their
places in life and to bless those with
whom they come in contact. Prof.
F. C. Nye, the principal, his
excellent assistants have done faith-
work, a work that is telling in
life and character.

The Faculty of the School Much
Pleased With Progress Made.
The commencement of the Indus-
trial graded school, of which C. M.
Epps is principal, has been
ed a success.
The cooking, sewing and basket
departments were visited by over two
hundred visitors within the last three
or four days. The officials of the
school seem much pleased with the
progress made by the pupils and as-
that with the financial
help the principal has done well.
However, all are encouraged by
the progress made and hope to make
a greater showing in the future.

Scarcity of tobacco plants has been
the cry almost every year, but this
year the cry been long and loud
and confined to no particular sec-
or locality. Seed germination
was poor throughout Eastern North
Carolina, and in South Carolina it
was even worse. Transplanting sea-
son was also from ten days to two
weeks late.
About the time a great majority
of farmers, probably per cent,
transplanted, a drought of unusual
duration set and a very large per
cent of the early Farm-
who have been in Greenville
the last five days say that nearly
all the re-sot plants have died and
that there are no more plants to be
had. At this date last, year the to-
crop was all planted and in
fine growing condition. This year
hardly any farmers have set over the
first time, and many of these say
they will have to plant over again,
if plants can be secured, or the land
planted in other crops. Altogether
it is, indeed, a discouraging prospect
for a tobacco crop.

of mishaps resulting in tempo-

agriculture, each in iron and steel

The large number of accidents on
