PITT COUNTY BOY

SEEKING RELEASE OF
PITT IN KANSAS JAIL
Goes Out In A Capsized Boat And
Saves Six People.
The letter published below should
have appeared in our Ayden
Tuesday, but through an
oversight the correspondent failed to
get it in with his other copy, so it
is published
Fort Hancock N. J., June 1911.
Mr. R. W. Smith, Correspondent,
The Eastern Reflector,
Dear
Having sent an article to your val-
paper a few months ago con-
Lance Corporal Lester Jones,
of the Coast Artillery Corps, of Fort
I now take the pleasure
to call your attention to another ex-
equally heroic.
Since I wrote you before, the com-
of which he is a member, has
changed station to Fort Hancock, N.
J. Here this brave son of
North Carolina distinguished himself.
While taking a walk one evening by
the beach he saw out in the bay a
boat in apparent distress. While he
was getting a boat ready in which to
go out in, the boat turned over. With
all possible speed he put out to the
capsized craft and got there just in
time to save the lives of six helpless
people. This, I think, ought to be
brought to the attention of his friends
and relatives at home. Like all real
heroes, he himself, would never say
anything about the matter. I being
a son of North Carolina, things of
this sort make my heart swell with
pride. Hoping to see this in an early
issue of your valued paper, I remain,
a constant reader,
MICHAEL J.
Bread Sergeant, Co. Artillery.
EXCAVATION CAVES IN.
Burled Ferd Hum hill And Gives Him
Close Call.
Tuesday afternoon while workmen
were excavating for the sewer on
Sutton lane, there was a cave-in that
came near resulting seriously. At a
point where the ditch was about ten
feet deep, Ferd Barnhill, colored,
foreman of the street hands was at
work at the bottom of it, when with-
out a moments warning the ditch
caved in and he was completely
buried under a huge pile of dirt.
Other hands happened to be near
and they quickly dug Ferd out of
his grave. Fortunately he- received
no injury, except slight bruises, but
it gave him a close call.
Asks Governor of Oklahoma to Inter-
cede in Behalf of W. J Nichols.
Oklahoma City, Okla., June
Governor received a letter
Monday from the secretary of state
of North Carolina, asking his as-
in securing the release from
the Federal prison at
Kan., of W. J. Nichols, a former
member of the North Carolina
Nichols was convicted of
the postal laws, under the
name of C. L. Jackson, in-connection
with the operation of the Little
Crater Crude Burner Company.
Nichols sold county rights for the
sale of a new patent crude oil burn-
maintaining headquarters at El-
reno. Through the efforts of Post-
master E. E. Brown, of Oklahoma
City, the Federal authorities were in-
to start prosecutions for us-
the mails to defraud. Nichols
handled thousands of dollars as a re-
of his scheme, but was convicted
and sentenced to serve two years. A
short time ago Nichols wrote the
governor, accusing the Federal of-
of the western district of

having conspired to railroad
him to Observer.

ed Ed. Pennington, cashier of the
Farmers Banking and Trust Co.,
receiver of the Bank of Tarboro, pend-
a suit instituted to wind up the
affairs of that institution.
The order making the appointment
required a bond of and that
he should enter upon his duties as
soon as qualified. This was done. By
noon the bond was given and Mr.
Pennington took charge.
But the examiners are still at work
and hope to complete their labors to-
morrow.
The condition of the bank cannot
yet be approximated. There are so
many overdrafts and checks paid
but never charged to accounts that
no one can tell till there has been a
more close inspection of all the
books and. probably many suits.
What the checks paid meant when
not credited is yet to be ascertained.
They may have been drawn with the
knowledge that they had or should
have had a balance to their credit.
Or they may have been some of the
many good accommodations
of the cashier out of the trust fund
in his charge.
Receiver Pennington probably will
have an expert accountant to go over
every account of the bank, and then
barring results of litigation the con-
will be known.
Not much news has developed or
come to the surface since last issue
unless it be evidence of greater
and the efforts to rob, or
defraud any and every one that had
money in the bank or could be in-
to put their funds therein.

Editor
I am just in receipt of a
from Congressman John H. Small of-
a free trip ex-
to Washington, D. C, to the
boy in his district who
makes the most corn as per directions
governing our State Boys Corn Club
contest. This is a offer
and will furnish some progressive
boy a line trip to Washington.
I will thank you very much to pub-
this notice and also urge your
boy readers who have not already
done so to send their names for
plication blanks that they may till
them out and enter the contest. There
will he more than in prizes go-
to the first district in addition
to this offer of Mr. Small, but a boy
to compete for these must have his
application filed in my office. Simply
asking to have bis name sent in will
not suffice; he must send in his sign-
ed application.
Yours truly,
T. H. PARKER,
Director.
Pitt county is also going to give
eleven boys, one from each township,
a free trip to Washington. There is
fine opportunity for the boys in the
corn contest to win trips and cash

mulberries. He has a lot of
chickens which are now living on

the last of May and continue
bearing until the last of August.

What Means.
What is clean milk Milk that is
produced by healthy cows and hand-
led by clean manner. No cow that
has any apparent disease should be
allowed to produce milk for dairy
purposes. This cow should be as well
bedded and kept as clean as the best
horse or mule on the farm. The cur-
and brush should be used
frequently, so as to keep her body
clean. Clean milk cannot be obtain-
ed if the cow's udder and flanks are
covered with manure and dirt and the
milker simply cleans the teats before
milking. The entire udder should be
washed and dried and the flanks
moistened if clean milk is to be ob-
and good butter made.
The milker should milk with dry
hands and not dip the fingers in the
milk, as is too often moisten
them. It is just as easy to milk with
dry hands and very much cleaner.
The last milk given is several times
as rich as the first and the milker,
for this reason, should milk all the
milk out of the udder. If the calf is
allowed to stay with its mother, and
not taken away at birth and fed by
hand, it should be allowed to take
the first milk and suck from all the
teats. The practice of letting the
calf have one-quarter, or of leaving
milk in the udder for it, is not the
best.
When the cow has been milked the
milk should be taken at once to the
house and If allowed to
stand around the stable, it will take
up the odors and thus injure the
flavor of the butter. The usual wire-
gauze strainer found in the common
milk buckets will not do to depend
upon to clean the milk. It should be
strained through at least three thick-
of cheese M. Bur-

Applying Rule of Reason.
Senator in his speech in
took the plain view of the
Sherman anti-trust law. The rule of
reason permits no other view.
The Sherman law is a criminal
statute. It deals with personal guilt
as a fact. It provides for the
prosecution of individuals and
prescribes penalties for the punish-
upon conviction.
If the Standard Oil and the
co Trusts were guilty of violating
the law, of necessity the really re-
men behind the trusts should
be brought to the bar of justice. The
law does not state that an offending
corporation shall be held to be guilty
and the persons acting through it
shall enjoy immunity. That a
of industry shall organize and
his business in defiance of the
law, commit unlawful acts without
restraint for a long term of years,
select his agents, control their policy
continue to enjoy the profits derived
from criminal methods and still go
and unpunished because
the business is done under the name
of a corporation declared to be illegal
by the United States Supreme court,

The prospect for a tobacco crop is
most gloomy, yet with good seasons
from now those who have any could
make a fair crop, as the fertility is
still there. But when there is no
stand, as is generally the case, it
can not be made. Peas can't come up
except on very mellow, deep soil or
loam land. Corn is poor, but it, too,
can make a good ear if it were to
rain enough from now on. as the
strength of the land has not been
exhausted in making a large stalk.
Cotton is capital where the stand is
good. Oats, especially spring sown,
are real light but ought to be well

FRIDAY. JUNE 1911.
A WORD TO BUSINESS MEN.
In the past twelve months The Re-
has spent much money in en-
and better equipping its plant,
and today it has a that will
compare favorably with any in East-
North Carolina. Of course in
making this large expenditure it was
not merely to be spending or with the
idea of losing money on it, yet the
main motive that prompted it was to
be in a position to better serve Green-
ville and Pitt county. We wanted to
make a better and more useful paper,
and have a printing plant that the
people could look to with pride and
feel that they could get any class of
work done right here at home.
That the paper has greatly
ed and that we have a creditable
plant, are things that speak for them-
selves. At the same time it is not
out of place to say that it takes a
large amount of work to maintain the
plant, and there are only those whom
the paper and plant serves to look
to for this work. It is the patronage
given us that makes it possible for
the community to have such a paper
and such a printing plant, and with-
out patronage the plant would not
be worth the floor space it occupies
nor worth anything to the community.
Do you think the paper and plant
worth anything to Greenville and Pitt
county Do you think that they are
doing anything to and ad-
this section Then do you not
feel that they are entitled to your
patronage instead of letting it go
elsewhere You not only get value
received for every dollar you spend
with The Reflector, but you at the
same time help to build up your com-
and the more patronage you
give it the better its opportunity for
advancing the interest of the town
and county.
Come in any time you wish to look
The celebration to be held here on
Friday, 30th, the anniversary of the
breaking of ground for the buildings
of East Carolina Training
school, will be an occasion of no
small and interest.
It was a proud day for Greenville
and Pitt county, when on the 2nd
day of July, now three years ago, ex-
Governor T. J. Jarvis, in the presence
of several people gathered on the
site purchased for the school, threw
the first spade of dirt in breaking the
ground for the first building of the
institution. He cast a prophetic eye
then and told what the institution
being planted meant for Eastern North
Carolina educationally. The prophecy
made has in these few years been more
than fulfilled, for the institution to-
day stands second to none in efficiency
among our state schools. The open-
of its doors to students was the
beginning of a career, and
the first year under the excellent
showed such thoroughness of
work in teacher training that the in-
is not sufficiently large to
accommodate all who seek admission
into it. The school is constantly
growing in the estimation of the
as the one institution doing more
in its particular of equip-
ping teachers for the public schools
than any other within our borders.
It is fitting that Governor W. W.
Kitchin, the chief executive of our
state, is to be one of the speakers at
this anniversary celebration. Another
speaker on that day will be Dr.
George D. Strayer, of Columbia
New York, who is here
a special course at the present
summer term of the school. Other
prominent speakers beside these are
expected to be present, and it is going
to be a great day for all of Eastern
North Carolina.
Pitt county, having done so much
to secure and establish this school
and present it to the state, feels an
especial pride in it, and all of her
people who can come should be here
on the 30th and participate in the
celebration.
among us, but even if this should not
be the case, it would no doubt be a
pleasure to many, as well as to their
relatives here and the folks who know
them, to have them visit their home
county and see what we arc doing.
We throw out this suggestion to the
governing board and township com-
of the Pitt County Fair As-
that at their next meeting
here on the first Friday in July they
can consider the matter of having a

the fair. At the same time

desire to express themselves. Let's
start a movement

The Reflector offers the suggestion
of making the week in which the
county fair will be held next
a week also.
The movement is being
discussed now all over the South, and
it is a good thing to agitate. There
are many Pitt scattered
throughout various parts of North
Carolina and in other states, and it
would not be a bad idea to invite
all whose addresses can be obtained
to pay their native county a visit.

The money that a business man
sends away for anything he could
get at home, does not help a particle
toward building up his town and
making more trade come to him. He
has to depend on home people main-
for his trade, and the home
are entitled to whatever business
he has to put out. There are print-
plants right here in Greenville
that ought to do all the printing the
business men of the town need, and
the same thing can be said of other
lines. Do not send your money
away when it is needed to help build
up at home.
There were lots of good pickings
for lawyers assisting the attorney
general in the recent prosecution of
trusts by the government, the amount
paid for such services in a little over
two years running up nearly to a
million dollars. Henry L. Stimson,
the newly appointed secretary of war,
was one of the beneficiaries, his fee
alone in the sugar trust prosecution
amounting to over The list
of fees published appear to be on an
extravagant scale in keeping with
the items of expense for fitting up
the office of the postmaster general
not long since. It pays to stand in
with the administration and have
Uncle Sam's purse to draw on.

You men folks of Greenville bear
in mind that the Men's Prayer League
meeting in the Christian church, next
Sunday afternoon, will be on whether
the is in conformity
to God's law. The tendency of the
rimes is to overlook the holiness of
the Sabbath and desecrate it by do-
things on that day which should
not be done. Six days of the week are
given for labor, and the com-
is to keep the seventh holy.
Greenville never felt the need of
pay rolls more than now. Factories
will make the pay but the

some co-operation on the part of
men and going after them. The
town has enough men with money to
secure manufacturing enterprises if
they would put their capital together.
As will be seen by a notice else-
where in this paper, the Chamber of
Commerce is to hold an important
meeting in the city hall Friday night.
Some matters of great interest are
to be presented, and there should be
a large attendance at the meeting.
If the aviation disasters keep up,
the countries can cut out war as a
means of reducing population, and
save pension payments at the same
time. It is a dull day in aviation

the street it creates talk, but if she

The government's three
per cent. Panama bonds being much
over subscribed with more than three
thousand bidders, gives an idea of the
anxiety of people to get bonds when
they are good ones. The willingness
to invest money at three per cent,
so negatives the cry going over the
country that money is scarce. Such
a cry emanates from the money
sharks who are holding what they
have to exact illegal interest.

In several sections of the state el-
have been held recently on
the question of issuing bonds to build
good roads. In only one instance
Anson it noted that the
bonds were defeated. Greenville
township in Pitt county is to vote on
such a proposition some time this
year, and we must join the line of
progress by having good roads.

If the eastern section of the state
had her natural advantages backed
up by the good roads enthusiasm that
the western section possesses, you
would see this section lead the world

roads there would be no holding us

him not want a second one.

Good Roads by Low Taxes.
It is no new thing in states where
good roads were made long ago by
the bond system for the bonds to be
retired, and the roads maintained at
no greater cost than it used to be
for the maintenance of dirt roads,
and in some instances it does not
cost so much to maintain a good sys-
than was the cost to maintain
the dirt roads under the old system.
It has been demonstrated time
and again that a county
saves money by issuing bonds to
prove its roads.
The mere mention of a bond issue
makes cold chills run down the
backs of most people. Ordinarily
it does not pay to go in debt, but as
a business proposition it does pay to
go in debt for necessaries, as every
one knows who has had experience
with the world. We realize that it
is a difficult matter to conceive
many people that the construction
of goods roads do not necessarily en-
tail any increase of taxes.
Take Christian county, Kentucky,
for an example. It was not only
recently that the county officers in
that county went on record with the
statement that taxes had not been
increased by the issue of bonds for
good roads. Simpson county is an-
other county in which the same is
true, and Guilford, in our own
State of North Carolina, is another
instance where the same will be
found to be true.
In this the question of the direct
tax incurred by bad roads which
the tax payers vote off when the
bond issue is voted on, neither is
the increase in values considered in
the two counties in Kentucky cited,
nor the gain in population and the
comfort in living and traveling on
good roads.
In the case of Guilford county in
this state the evidence is so over-
whelming that the
will show the advantages of
good Courier.

The summer term at East Carolina
Training School, which be-

eight weeks, has an unusually strong
faculty, the regular teachers being re-

educators of the country.
All of the subjects taught in the
public schools of the state are being
taught in this summer term, and in
addition to these are courses in Latin,
Pedagogy, Chemistry, School Man-
and Household Economics.
The state adopted texts are used.
A special course in Administration

county and city superintendents is be-
conducted by Dr. Geo. D. Strayer,

most invaluable to those having the
superintendency of teachers. In con-

Not many months before
his fortune had been at low ebb, fol-
lowing a disastrous attempt at the
management in London, but he
had extricated himself from his
difficulties. He was preparing
two plays and as so-called opera for
production at Covent Garden, and it
happened that the theme of the opera
was the longing for home of an
happy exiled girl.
A song was needed for the heroine,
Clari, to sing at her entrance to the
first act, and to fill this requirement
Payne wrote the verses which were
to make him famous. He wrote
under the stress of strong
emotion and the words expressed his
own heartfelt desire, for it was ten
years since he had left his family and
friends and during that time he had
suffered many severe trials.
About a month later he forwarded
the opera to Henry R. Bishop, the
musical director of Covent Garden,
suggesting an air. for Sweet

May, 1823, and Sweet
as sung by the charming Ann Maria
was received with enthusiasm, its
popularity increasing from day to day.
Soon it had become one of the loved
folksongs of the English speaking
to New York Sun.
The Fly Crusade.
There is no joke about the import-
of the fly crusade, although it
has been the inspiration of much light
newspaper verse and innumerable par
in lighter vein. This is
by the experience of Wash-
City, where a decided falling
off in the fly population has been
observed this year, although the
weather has been very warm and
conditions generally have been fa-
for its increase.
The District of Columbia health of-
has directed public attention to
the fact, and congratulates the
upon their comparative immunity
from the fly plague. The result is
credited directly to the active anti-
fly campaign carried on last season.
Stringent regulations aimed at the
fly were adopted. They called for
the destruction of its means of sub-
for cleanliness in stables, and
the screening of food, besides the
killing off the pests in large
In addition to all these things,
THE WOOL GROWER.
Should Taxpayers Support An Indus-
try That Has Not Helped Itself.
It should be possible to approach
the case of the wool grower
His friends protest that
he will become extinct if he is not
protected by a high duty on wool.
The home-consumer, and not the
foreign grower, pays this tax,
products of other commodities
worth keeping alive at such a price.
Let it be premised that this case
has been largely made on false
tense. He is classed as a farmer,
and he most emphatically is nothing
of the kind. He is less a farmer in
fact than the squatter of Australia
with his sheep. He does not
farm in any sense of the word. He
pastures sheep over a large area;
allows for a certain percentage of
deaths from cold and misadventure;
the wages and board of a few lonely
the periodical cost of shear
cross-bred wool or his stringy
mutton, according to which market
looks best.
There are sheep in this
country, and in the British Islands,
which could be comfortably tucked
away in the state of Montana, there
were sheep in 1910. These
were either for the butcher or for
their wool. The British grower takes
a great deal of trouble with his
sheep and gets results. Our grower
takes no trouble at all, and expects
congress to protect him from foreign
competition. But without this hand-
the sheep on the South Downs
of England, and even in Scotland,
can graze in the open practically
every day of the year, if they are
given the proper attention in the mat-
of folding where necessary, extra
feed in winter and special care in the
lambing season. Montana is a poor
imitation of such a condition as that
and as such States become enclosed
our happy-go-lucky sheep-growers
will be without pasture. Can any
protection we can afford stay the
advance of the wire-fence
Vermont in some parts and notably
in the Green Mountains, breeds in fair
quantities sheep for the table not in-
to Welsh mutton, if not equal
to the South Down of
Such sheep, however, are more
expensive to raise here than in Eng-
land or the sheep-growing parts of
the continent of Europe, for the
on that they must spend some months
in the winter under cover, and must
be fed in the absence of pasture.
This is a great handicap, and is
shared to some extent by Kentucky,
although the prospects for the Al-
are better than farther
north. Certainly better and more
profitable varieties can be bread there
by taking considerably more pains
than the western cares
to exert.

appears the right thing. The mer-

a tree and set it on fire. The citizen
on whose premises the tree was lo-
asked his colored man to pour
water on the flames to put out the
fire. The colored man declined on
the ground that the effort would be
wasted unless milk was poured on
the flames. Thereupon the citizen pro-
to act for himself and when
the fire was put out with water the
colored man was dumb with
amazement to see the cherished be-
lief of his life effectually dissipated.

Writing of The Great.
Sheridan's writing was a scandal to
his school and puzzled the town. He
once wrote a pass to Drury Lane, and
the doorkeeper stopped its bearer and
immediately pronounced it a forgery,
because he could decipher it. The
atrocious writing of re-
calls the claim once made on behalf
of Baron that he wrote
three which he alone could
read, another which his clerk could
read and he could not, and a third
which nobody could read and the last-
named was his usual style. The writ-

A Busy Man.
It is hard to find a more busy man
than Dr. D. L. James. A visit to his
dental office at almost any hour of
the day shows his operating chairs
occupied with patients and others in
the reception room waiting their
turn. Dr. James is also putting in
many extra hours on laboratory work
trying to catch up with orders to
give him time to attend the State
Dental Convention which meets in
Morehead City next week. He is to
respond to the address of welcome
to the association by the mayor of
Morehead City.

some systematic plan; the public

Such a business man is a dream, but
business methods dealing with the
problem need not be. We can not
place our fiscal affairs in the hands of
with absolute power, but we
could apply business methods to the
government. Instead of trying to
economize by spending a few hundred
thousand dollars endeavoring to find
where a few clerks and messengers
can be spared, efforts should be
at the real extravagance found
in the appropriation bills. Thus the

It is of small bulk this deadly weed,

not, so far as we know, take account
of the danger which threatens from

IBIS OF BIS TRIP
r TO REUNION
HELPED TO GIVE REBEL YELL.
i.
Tells of His Trip,
of Things in Scotland
Scotland Neck, N. C, June 1911.
Editor
I reckon you and your readers
think I have absconded, but I am
here again. I have been sick for a
few weeks and did not feel like writ-
though very anxious to write
up my trip which I took in May. I
am well now and will try to amuse
you all just a little and will give
you a slight sketch of my trip. If
it is old, perhaps some of it may be
of interest to at least some of your
readers.
I left home at Scotland Neck on
the evening of the 9th of May and
v to Greenville and spent the
night there with Mr. J. W. Little so
as to be present on the 10th of May
to attend the re-union of the Bryan
Grimes Camp of Confederate veterans
I enjoyed being with my old comrades
as well as I ever did, with the ex-
that there were so many miss-
that will never meet us in a re-
union again on earth. I want to say,
though the day was warm and dusty,
we had a good time.
We formed at the court house and
marched to the Star warehouse, where
we listened to one of the best speech-
es that we have ever heard by a young
man at a re-union. The young man
was Mr. Albion Dunn, of Greenville,
formerly of Scotland Neck. After
Mr. Dunn concluded there were so
many strong and loud calls for
Jarvis that he couldn't resist, and
got up and led us along through a
few battles and some marches, and
we could march right along with him
all the way through. It seemed like
old times.
My in the upper story is
not capable of paying the good la-
dies of Greenville the tribute that
is justly due them, for they rendered
all the beautiful singing that was
necessary and they had prepared one
of the most delicious and bountiful
dinners that we ever had the pleas-
of partaking of. And what do
you think, Just before we were going
to start to dinner our commander,
Maj. H. Harding, got up and an-
that the ladies demanded
pay for the dinner, and what do you
reckon the pay demanded was It
was the old Rebel yell, and when the
commander gave the command, at-
comrades forward,
double-quick charge we paid the bill
of fare by giving them three yells of
the old-fashion war
yell, we gave it very cheerfully and
I guess satisfactorily.
Now, for the Liberty warehouse,
where the dinner was prepared. But
there is no use telling you any more
about it, for you may be sure we did
it justice, so far as the inner man
would permit.
Then we had a good time with the
old brothers until nearly o'clock,
when we boarded the Norfolk South-
train for Arthur, where we
spent a week in my old neighborhood
with relatives and friends.
I enjoyed my stay there fine, and
was very reluctant to leave, but I
had other places to visit.
After spending a week about my
old home I went to and
spent one day there very
though as I was there I spent
a portion of the time in The Enter-
prise office very pleasantly with the
editor and Miss Abrams, and
I spent a short time with Mr.
in his place of business. But I had
no idea that he and Miss Abrams were
so near married, if I had I might
have enjoyed being with them more
than I did.
I left Farmville in the evening for
Wilson and spent a week and a half
there, and was sick all the time I
was there, but in bed only little of
the time. I enjoyed myself well as
could be expected. They were all
very kind to me
I left Wilson and reached home at
Scotland Neck on the 27th of May,
and found my gardens needing work.
I worked them out the first week
getting home, but they have
considerably for lack of rain.
We had a very slight shower on the
12th and a very good rain last Sun-
day evening which is about all we've
had since I came home. Corn and
cotton, notwithstanding the dry
weather, are doing well in this
section. We had another shower
yesterday evening and the
indications are that we will have
more this evening.
When I reached home from my
trip I learned that I had missed lots
by being away for they had held a
two meeting at the Baptist
church and they had a great down-
pour of a glorious shower
on the community. There were
added to the church. Mr. W. L.
Ball, of Richmond, did the preaching
and was said to be a fine preacher.
Mr. O. L. Powers, the pastor, assist-
ed in the meeting, of course.

Buy Screen Doors and Windows.
It is surprising how many well-to-
do farmers will deny themselves the
ordinary comforts of life when they
are in easy reach. One of the
things to mention is the protection
afforded by screen doors and win-
downs. They cost but little. Doors
are from each to and
windows forty and fifty cents each.
They keep out flies and mosquitoes
and add to the comfort of the home
day and night. If the whole house
cannot be screened they could be
put in the windows of the dining
and sleeping rooms. The price is a
small matter and the comfort and
sanitary protection is worth

Hanrahan, N. C, June 1911.
Two and one-half miles from Seven
Springs in a southerly direction and
one mile from a home built by an
eccentric old man, with his dwelling
house in Wayne county, his kitchen
in and stables in Lenoir, and
each within less than a stone's throw
of the other. On something of an
oasis on that sand belt stood on old
cabin, a simile of the one that
Mrs. Meadows lived in, save that it
was not so neatly daubed nor lined
with boards, the floor much rougher
and had much larger cracks; the
light that was transmitted was
through a space extending one-third
or more of the width of the house

by cutting out one-half each of the
upper and lower logs. The shutter
to this was a long, rough plank, made
to slide on wooden cleats. On the
same side of the cabin was three 2-
holes in the logs to slant
slightly downward, in these holes
were driven rough wooden pins, on
these were laid a rough 14-inch plank,
which was constructed to write on

either end of these, kinder

side were driven wooden pegs 1-2
ft. long. This made the sharp edge
of the slab so it would cut real well.
You would have thought the edge
had been filed if you had to sit there
from a. m. to p. m., with bare
feet and legs feet from the floor.
Well, that is the kind of seats that
we children had to sit on. This hut
was situated, as I have said, on an
oasis in that desert and surrounded
by old field pines with their pointed
needles ever whispering their song
of love to the gentle breezes and
dropping an occasional straw to car-
pet the earth beneath. It was there
that I spent my first day at what
they called school. It was on a love-
day, I think about the middle of
May, the flowers were blooming
their sweet fragrance fill-
ed the air, the birds were singing
their songs of love. There was not
a cloud to be seen above, save the
smoke of battle not yet cleared away
from that encounter of the boys who
wore gray, or anything they could
get to wear, with Foster's army at
White Hall. But Foster's men had

Mg Excursion Coming From Atlanta
Next Week.
Wrightsville Beach, N. C, June
The Virginia Life Insurance Company
is holding its annual outing at
Wrightsville Beach, where they arc
registered at the Seashore Hotel. A
delightful feature of this occasion
was a large fishing party which was
tendered them by the superintendent,
Mr. B. T. Hopkins, on Friday morning
when they went out in the
at a. m., in charge of Cap-
Wells. The fishing was unusual-
good and added to the zest of the
occasion. The catch of black fish
was especially good, and the sports-
spent a most interesting morn-
About seventeen gentlemen com-
posed the party.
Another fishing party which was
greatly enjoyed took place Friday,
when Messrs. J. F. Walker, Jas. Di-
vine and Capt. Sadler went out to
the Five Mile Rocks, in one of the
staunch launches afforded at Wrights-
ville Beach. About an hour and a
half was spent outside, in which time
blue fish, trout, mackerel, and
many other fish were landed.
Dancing continues to be the chief
delight, of the young folks at the
beach, and each evening many coupled
flock to to enjoy the pleas-
afforded them. Many hundreds
come down from the city and
all of the young folks at
Wrightsville Beach to participate in
the souvenir dances given by the Tide-
water Power Company.
Friends of the beach are interested
to learn that Miss Julie Owens, of
Wilmington, will be among the guests
entertained by Miss Laura Lee
in Atlanta, on the 22nd, at
Piedmont Driving Club, during the
Phi Mu National Convention. Her
friends are glad to learn that she
will return in a few weeks.
The excursion from Atlanta, which
will occur on the 28th, is being

who will take advantage of the

He also emphasized one evil the

Here President Wilson, in calling
the next leader, said that if some evils
do exist, what is our duty about open-
the door and permitting others.
Mayor F. M. Wooten was the next
speaker, said he would answer that
question Our duty is to keep
the Fourth Commandment, which says
do our labor in six days and rest the
seventh. It is as much our duty to
labor six days as it is to rest one

whom it was first given might not
have seen necessity nor caught its
full meaning. We of this day are
more enlightened and see the

Nations have been punished and blot-
out of existence for failure to

is true there are some
conditions in Greenville. Can we
these Yes. Can you or I as
an individual correct them No. It
takes a unity of sentiment and action
to do this.
After the talks by the leaders the
meeting was opened to any who wish-
ed to add remarks. Ex-Governor T.
J. Jarvis said that from childhood he
had the Sabbath. While in
the wayward days of youth he did
many things that were sinful, he did
not violate the Sabbath. There are
certain acts that are overlooked on
the as are done through
necessity, mercy or charity. Selling
cold drinks and cigars on Sunday was
for neither necessity, mercy or
charity, but that the seller might put
that many extra nickels in his pocket.
He did not believe there was a drug-
gist in Greenville who wanted to keep
open on Sundays to carry on this
business. If any do desire it, they
have no more right to do so than has
the grocers and dry goods dealers.
There are certain things in the way
of trains, mails, etc., over which we
have no control I had the making

is no reason that we should open

can prevent.
Mr. G. E. Harris said we should go
after one specific thing at the time and
get it. If an expert fisherman has
three poles and gets a bite on all
at the same time, he is going to let
two alone until he is sure of landing
one, and not lose all by trying to land
all at the same time. That is what
we want to do specifically
against the open Sunday in Green-
ville and see that we do the one thing
now of not having that. Then we
can lake up other things, one at the
time, and do them. While trains run
on Sundays he does not ride on them
and they would have to stop if nobody
patronized them.

AS A
The Necessity For Professional Prep-
And What It Consists Of
Teacher Be Actuated By
Ideals of Summer
School Term Ever Held In North
Carolina.
A lecture on as a Pro-
was delivered on Monday
at the Training school by Dr.
Geo. D. Strayer, of Columbia
In the discussion of this
topic the speaker considered, first,
the necessity of professional
ration. When teaching is contrasted
with the other professions, one can
not fail to remark the prep-
which has been required of
those who were engaged in teaching.
The establishment of the
Training School in Eastern North
Carolina marks a great step in ad-
The preparation of the teacher con-
in at least three types of work.
There is first the academic
which we demand of all who
are engaged in any of the learned
professions. Second, work which
may be characterized, academic pro-
training. In this part of
the teachers preparation she comes
to realize that subjects of study are
to be considered as methods of in-
growth and development
for children. It is one thing to know
a subject and another to realize just
how this subject may be utilized in
the normal and mental development
of pupils. A third type of the prep-
is found in the strictly pro-
training which should be
required of teachers. In this work
the meaning of education and of the
school as a social institution, must
be mastered by the teacher. There
is a wide field of study which
in the subject which we com-
call psychology. No one is
fit to teach who is not well acquaint-
ed with the characteristics of child
life and development. To know of
the child's instinctive equipment, of
the possible differences in ability and
capacity; to be able to adapt
to the method of the mind's
normal activity, is absolutely
for success in teaching.
The speaker also insisted upon con-
study and investigation as es-
in the professional life of
the teacher. In this part of the ad-
dress, attention was called to the
fact that careful, scientific
is already being undertaken
in education, and that teachers, even
if they do not make original
should at least be conversant
with the results that are achieved by
those who devote themselves to in-
In closing the speaker suggested
that all who were members of the
profession should be actuated by
ideals of service, both to individuals
as such, and to the community as
a whole. One of the best tests of
the professional teacher is found in
the joy and pride which she takes
in her work. It is only those who
find more joy in teaching than in
anything else who truly belong to
the teaching profession. ,
It is certain that no lecture deliver-
ed here has been so rich in thought,
easy and forceful in presentation and
so promising in effective results as
this one. The city superintendents,
county superintendents, principals of
high schools, and in fact, all of the
teachers here are indeed fortunate
in that they have the privilege of
coming in personal contact with such
a distinguished educator and
thinker and teacher as Dr.
Strayer is. It is true that no sum-
mer school term has ever had in
North Carolina as strong a teacher
as Dr. Strayer. His work here
means a new day in our education,
and the Training school has done the
state a lasting service in securing
him. Such a course as he is
here in school administration
and supervision if given in this state
for two months and compulsory at-
was required would mean
an educational up-lift to the state
that would not under ordinary cir-
come in ten years.

Much interest is felt here in the
matter of having the schedule of

would be a great convenience to all
