Miss for the graduates, stated that the class of 1911, in keeping with the motto, wished to leave some concrete of appreciation of what had been done for them, by to the school to be used as a student's fund. This was greeted with great applause, and President Wright said it came as a surprise to all except the class them- selves. President Wright gave some concerning the school. He said the man entitled to the credit more than any other for paving the way to establishing this school, was County Superintendent W. H. Rags- dale. The work he had done in ad- showed the need for It. True his efforts could not have amounted to much but for the help of others, and one other especially mention- ed was ex-Governor Jarvis. As a testimonial to them the literary so- of the school had prepared resolutions which met the approval of the faculty, and which he had been asked to read. The resolutions were as Resolutions.

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

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

Sic transmit too soon the joys of life Sic too soon life's sorrows and strife. It is not my purpose to portray, if I could, the horrors of war, for those things are passed, nor. to vilify I the North.

Nor is it my purpose try to defend our beloved South she needs no de- at any for her brave sons fought for what they then deem- ed was just and right. What shall say of the war is to show the time and what caused one among many heroes to be so poor.

Buchanan's company brother, Isaac, be- longed to his who were then garrisoned at Fort Fisher. She said that Mrs. Meadows had told her that Eugene's that is what she lovingly called sick furlough would be out in four days and that he was trying to get up as much wood as he could for her and the children to have during the winter. My had sent Sam and a colored man over there that morning with wagons to haul the wood for him. While papa and mother were Sam came running one of the wagon horses at full speed.

But, said the grief-stricken and devoted woman, God does not promise to fill a husband's place and He can only show His fatherhood to the children through the of a true and fatherly man. Mother could not answer these arguments, for there were no homes then in our state for orphan children. So mother could only weep with her who wept, and do what she could to comfort and care for the fatherless children.

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

As illustrating the remarkable progress of the South during the last few years, the Manufacturers Record of Baltimore points to change which taken place in the news- papers of the leading towns and cities of that section in that and makes a suggestion which should be worth a great deal to any community where it is practical papers are every day be- coming more and more in themselves advertisements of their says the Record, and The outside man not familiar with the South who picks up a daily paper from any one of its leading cities, will get an impression about Southern business life and activity that will necessarily have a lasting effect. It might, indeed, be a good policy for every business man in the South, he has read his local paper, to mail it to some friend elsewhere. The influence for good could hardly be estimated. It is quite certain that every paper sent from any part of the South to Northern or Western not be read without creating a new not be said without creating a new impression about business activity in the South. If every banking house, for instance, would make it a rule to have the daily papers which it re- mailed after they have been read to its correspondents in other sections, taking by turns the names on Its list, it would find the small postage returned a thousandfold through a closer acquaintanceship and in enlarged business with its out- side banking friends. The same is true as to every other line of in the South. No man is doing business in that section without acquaintances or correspondents elsewhere. Let everyone make it a rule to send some outside friend In his annual address before the National Fire Association, in New York, President W. H. Merrill stated that than lives and two billion worth of property have been sacrificed to fire in the United States during the past fifteen Leaving out of consideration this appalling loss of human lives, home owners and business men may well reflect upon the causes of such disaster.

W. general passenger agent of the Norfolk Southern railroad, told The Reflector of a special work his road is now undertaking to induce settlers to come to Eastern North Carolina. Data is being collected for a booklet to be distributed through the North and West. This booklet is to tell the advantages of this favored section, not only of the farms but of the towns as well. The kinds of soil, variety of crops grown, climatic con- varied industries, for manufacturing, educational and social advantages are all to be taken before prospective home seek- Every town touched by the Nor- folk Southern and every county through which the road passes, should co-operate with the railroad com- in this movement to advertise Eastern North Carolina. In . addition A noteworthy change in Southern agricultural conditions is apparent in the statement by managing director of the Southern Commercial Congress, that, owing to diversification of crops and the in- of the corn growing con- test clubs, shipments of Western corn into the South have fallen off in one year eleven per cent. Whether blameless or not, the farmers of the South have thrown away millions of dollars in swapping cotton for West- meat, hay and grain. The profit on cotton has not been sufficient to offset the difference between the price of these supplies and the cost at which they could have been produced here at home. Whether the one-crop practice is being abandoned in tardy recognition of this fact or as a re- of more favorable conditions is not so material. By diversification, intensive methods, modern and a greater appreciation of his resources, the farmer of the South is coming into his own.

While Greenville should have a good mayor, and a good one will be nominated out of the three to be voted for in the primary Monday, yet the question of who shall be mayor of the town is not near so important as who shall compose the board of aldermen. For these places the very best men to be had should be of known business ca- who can manage important affairs. Greenville has long since passed the stage of growth and de- when anybody who can be picked up, or anyone who may aspire to the position, will do for an alder- man. The voters of the town should think of this when they go about selecting the men to govern the town. The aldermen are the ones who do this, the mayor having no voice either in making the laws or in expending the town's money. the town good aldermen and let the town take no backward step. SELECT GOOD ALDERMEN. In another week Greenville will nominate candidates for aldermen to be elected the first Monday in June, and candidates are being talked. There are no more important in connection with the town's affairs than the aldermen, and the people cannot be too careful whom they select for these. Just picking up anybody because he happens to want to be an alderman is not wise. There is too much at stake. Good men who have ability are needed to conduct the affairs of the town, and no man who has little or no interest in the town should be selected. It is not a time to be or trying to engineer certain schemes. Good government with good men in office should be the first of every voter. TO THE POINT.

Pea A most striking contrast between a good road and a bad road is now shown in the road from Greenville to Falkland, and every one who over this road going to the Union picnic at Bluff, Thursday, had a real object lesson. The editor of The Reflector was in a party taken out by Mr. H. A. White in his automobile, and the trip gave abundant opportunity to observe the condition of the roads. The first miles of the road, from Greenville to Mr. O. L. Joyner's farm, where the sand-clay work has been done, is as fine a section of road as could be wished for. It is as hard and smooth as a paved street, and to ride over such a road is a delight. From the end of the sand-clay work on as far as we went, the road is most a disgrace to an enlightened people. A succession of sand beds, ruts and holes, the road is so heavy and rough as to make travel over it difficult and uncomfortable. Such a was the subject of the last Sunday school lesson taught throughout the United States. From the general application of such a lesson there ought to be good re- Universal peace should with a disarming of all the of the world.

And it is money that could be saved if there was universal peace.

It is possible that this consideration will be overlooked by some unless something happens before election to show what a senator is going to do with the job and what the job is go- to do with the senator. The Reflector never minds being quoted, but it is at least entitled to the courtesy of being quoted This paper does not have to to in getting its ions before its readers, but thinks what it says and says what it thinks. We are willing to concede that the trusts are not altogether as bad as they would like to be.

It a fear the senatorial primary, the people are not likely to do as much worry- over it in the meantime as the candidates are. If the anti-good roads people have captured a sample from a community that was willing to give it up they ought to put it on exhibition. There is only one good reason for encouraging automobile accidents the last one generally enough caution to prevent several others. There are three candidates for mayor to be voted for in the primary Monday. They all expect to be but only one will get it.

They ad- that Mr. so-and-so is a good low, the right man in the right place, and all that. But they analyze him point by point and draw the between him and themselves and when they get through they cannot honestly see any difference between the two columns at all. Then they wonder why it is that Mr. and so-and so is above them. They get well up on the ladder, they reach the very rung next to the top one, and there they stick. Somehow they cannot make the last step. Sometimes tiny halfway make it but they in- variably fall back. The ascent up to this point has been comparative- easy to their splendid abilities and accomplishments. Naturally they cannot understand why it is that they cannot get to the top rung. Most likely they never will. For the line that differentiates them from the man at the top is drawn so fine that they cannot see it at all. This is the real reason of which the vast majority remain in ignorance for life. Ambition, hope, energy, ability, education, are all good, but they alone will not enable you to reach the summit. Genius has been defined as the in- capacity for taking pains, and the truth about these men is that they cannot magnify their brain- vision to that power whereby they could see the line of demarcation clearly and with They go to a race and see a horse win by a nose but they do not realize that a distance of one loot may mean the loss or gain of a fortune, that a difference of one ten-thousandth or one one of one per cent, represents exactly difference between one horse and another as far as results go. Again they wonder why Dan Patch won and the other horses lost. Examine the fellow on the top rung. Did he not gain that eminent place because he trained himself in a Spartan school of own making The winning horse has a scientific trainer to develop every point, no matter how minute, that may have over the remotest bearing on the re- cult. The winning man must train and develop himself. There is no one who can do it so well for him. The failure to attain the top rung is because of the lack of appreciation of the fine points of the game or en utter ignorance of them. Or if there is an appreciation of them the man may not be willing to make the sacrifices to gain and main- that extra one hundredth of one cent that counts tremendously in the final recoiling.

Tennyson said that our echoes roll from soul to soul and go on forever. So it is.

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

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

HISTORIC WASHINGTON HOME General's Headquarters at Rocky Hill N. J., A Colonial Museum. In the little village of Rocky Hill, N. J., some four miles beyond Prince- ton, stands the old farm- house, in which George Washington spent the autumn of 1783. The ac- operations of the revolution were over then, so his days at Rocky Hill were passed in writing the farewell address to the army, in sitting to Peale and William Dunlap for his portrait, and in receiving the dist- statesmen who sought him here and talked over the country's future. Prom here he rode frequent- to Old Nassau Hall at Princeton, where congress was then sitting, and it was here in this very house that he received news of the signing of the definitive treaty of Paris, which recognized American and gave to the United States all the territory from the to the Mississippi. It may, therefore, not be claiming too much to say that the Rocky Hill headquarters witness- ed the most triumphant day of Wash- life. And those who love to visit places hallowed by such as- may now, thanks to some patriotic women of the neighborhood, add this last revolutionary residence of Washington to the number. It is a plain white frame building, claiming nothing more in the way of beauty than those good proportions that make all old At the time in question it was the property of Mrs. Margaret Ber- widow of a prominent New Judge; and, as she wished to dis- pose of it.

Senator Dillingham, of Vermont, gave the Northern Presbyterian As- convened at Atlantic City, some very plain talk the other day on the subject of the church's towards the immigrants who are pouring into this country. After denying that these newcomers are, as a class, unlearned, vicious or idle. and calling pointed attention to the fact that they are much more apt to send their children to school and keep them there than many native- born Americans, the senator trouble is that when they come here live a life of isolation. They have come to US in such numbers as to be regarded as nothing more than so many elements of production. I think we ought to open our churches to them and let them sit down with us. It to me that we should give them such a welcome as to make them truly feel that they are one of That Senator views are strictly in line with Christian principles will hardly be questioned. Christian practice, however, needs not infrequently to be bolstered by con- somewhat more material than the spiritual principles of the system. The isolation the speaker referred to is harmful not only to the churches but to the other of the country as well. The hundreds of thousands of newcomers who are seeking America every year must be assimilated by the body of the be tinctured at least with angles of they are to do their part in the up- building of the nation. It is difficult to see how such influence is to be brought promptly to bear upon them if they are allowed to remain isolated. From a purely ecclesiastical stand- point, too, Senator words are worth weighing. The glory of the Christian churches is that they make their appeal to the entire race, regardless of nationality of previous training. The particular church which practically confines its labors to the native American population thereby neglects a factor which of however slight importance it may be deemed at present will inevitably play a tremendous part within a few- generations. Not a few of the most influential men in the United States are sons or grandsons of humble migrants. It would require a of all logic to believe that among those who have landed at New York within the last decade there is none who possess the brains and the character to forge to the front. The church must indeed reach out after these people unless it is to shirk all attempts to influence a large of the elements which will com- to make the America of the Observer. NOTICE TO CREDITORS.

Not only was section of Pitt county represent- ed, but people were there from all the neighboring counties. -They began arriving early, they stayed late, and the day was enjoyed to the utmost. It was a splendid location for a picnic. A high bluff overlooks the river at a picturesque spot, and ex- tending back for acres is a green sward with numerous shade trees here and there, with woods forming the background. The committees appointed by the Union to arrange for the picnic certainly did their work well. They planned for big things and big things were carried out. A table hundreds of yards long was built in form, and around this the great crowd gathered when dinner was announced. And such a dinner as was spread before them. It was both elegant and abundant, a plenty to even though a multi- was fed. It was well prepared, served, and none turned way unsatisfied. About three hours of the afternoon as devoted to speaking.
