PITT COUNTY BOY FRONT PROVES HIMSELF A REAL HERO. 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.

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.

Long, of the Trading Ford neighborhood, and one of the foremost farmers in Rowan, this morning presented The Post with some very fine mulberries. They are of the variety and are exceedingly sweet and of excellent flavor. A part of them are white and a part black. Mr. Long states that he had fifty of the trees but some of them died. He now has thirty-one and all are bearing abundantly. The trees are eighteen years old. He has thirty- one head of hogs running in the lot and they live and grow fat on the mulberries. He has a lot of chickens which are now living on the berries. The trees begin bear- the last of May and continue bearing until the last of August.

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.

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, is a manifest absurdity. It affronts reason and common York World.

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 saved with this open weather.

Physicians were summoned and every thing possible done to save the life of the young He passed a fair- comfortable night, and today hopes are held out that he will recover. It is supposed that the attempt of young Ricks to take his life was due to being momentarily crazed with grief over the death of a young lady to whom it is reported that he was engaged and would have married next fall. This young lady, Miss Watson, was on Friday night operated on for appendicitis at Fowle Memorial Hospital.

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 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 in connection with the fair. At the same time from any citizen of the county would be in order and the columns of The Reflector are open to any who desire to express themselves. Let's start a movement right now. HELP BUILD YOUR HOME TOWS. LET'S A 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. of them might be induced to return and again make their home 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. -o 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 are not coming until there Is 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 that the press dispatches fail to re- port fatalities. If an actress wears a tight dress on the street it creates talk, but if she wears tights on the stage it simply creates Dispatch. Why, sure. It is impolite to talk at the stake, and looking is all that is allowed. At the recent meeting of the North Carolina Good Roads Association in Mr. H. B.

Many North Carolina newspapers will be next week while the Press Association is holding its an- meeting in The readers will not be the losers, as the papers will all keep going. You can see some very small in Greenville cigarettes. Some- body is selling these cigarettes to the boys, though they know it is against the law to do so. If the board of aldermen of Green- ville act on of the Men's Prayer that is what they should will not have open Sundays. A Charlotte dealer has been fined and costs for selling cigarettes to a minor. There are some dealers in Greenville who should take warn- at this and stop selling cigar- to boys. Cowan is doing lots of talking about going to Wilmington to get cool. Come up this way, old man. There is such a fine where these squibs are writ that we can't keep a paper on the desk without a weight. Now fashion has decreed the cob- web skirt. How would you like to Dispatch.

A cuckoo won't build its own nest but lays its eggs in other bird's nests and lets them do its hatching. The main point is that the cuckoo won't do any nest building for itself but depends on the other fellow while it gets the benefit. No people should expect others to build up their town and make it a manufacturing center while they con- tribute hot air Star. In the same class are the business men who do no advertising themselves but wait for others to draw trade to the town and then they try to profit off of what the others have ought to give their trade to those business men who ask for it and who by advertising do something to ad- their community. o--------- 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. ---------o 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. Asheville has begun a movement to raise a fund of to secure the location of manufacturing tries in that city. If a city already as large and as prominent as Ashe- ville feels the need of and sees the advantage in such a step, what do you think a town like Greenville, where there are no manufacturing industries to speak of, ought to be doing 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 in advancement. We have the best farms, the most productive lands, and the finest climate, and if we had good roads there would be no holding us back. Somebody has asked The Reflector what has become of the weather The town had a set of the flags that for a time were displayed from a staff on the municipal build- If they are not worn out, or it is not too much trouble to have them displayed, it might not be bad to put the signals in use again. Two well known white men of Greensboro were sentenced for twelve and seven months, respectively, to work on the streets for selling liquor. That is the way to go after them. If a man is convicted of selling liquor put a sentence on him that will make him not want a second one. Every business man in Greenville, and every citizen interested in the progress of the community, should attend the meeting of the chamber of commerce in the city hall Friday night at o'clock.

If the showers happen to get too thick, remember how long you were crying for them. Editors are like other folks, have sometime. 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- June and will continue for eight weeks, has an unusually strong faculty, the regular teachers being re- by some of the most 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 and Supervision for school principals county and city superintendents is be- conducted by Dr. Geo. D. Strayer, of Columbia University, which is most invaluable to those having the superintendency of teachers. In con- with this is observation of a group of children taught by Miss Mar- Blow, one of the graduates of the school. Dr. Strayer takes his class of and superintend- into this department and demonstrates the organization, administration and supervision of a school. By this means the principals and superintendents get valuable ideas for instructing the teachers under them in organizing and directing their schools. A series of lectures on topics of especial interest to teachers will also be given by distinguished educators. Already Dr. J. T. Gibbs and Dr. Strayer have given most helpful and will be followed by others during the term. The attendance at the summer term has already reached largest number of students that have been here at any one time before and others are registering almost daily. All the dormitories of the school are full and homes in the town available to boarders are filled. President It. II. Wright and the strong faculty united with him, are in this school doing a work for the teachers of Eastern North Carolina the value of which cannot be meas- in dollars and cents. It will tell for years to come in the betterment of the public schools through more efficient teachers, and thus the great- educational uplift of all the On Friday, 30th inst, the of the breaking of ground for the erection of buildings for the school will be celebrated with appropriate exercises.

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.

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.

The ground for the buildings was first broken on July 1908, and the growth of the school has been so we propose to celebrate the third anniversary of that event. Six beautiful buildings have been erected and equipped and two full sessions and two summer terms have been taught in them with a very large enrollment. present summer session will be at its best. The board of trustees meet on the 29th and will be in on the 30th. We are hoping to have the State Board of Education present also. Kitchin has already agreed to deliver an address on that occasion.

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. How A Business Man Would Bun The Government. Now, what could and would a man with power to conduct the government do He would put the army and navy on an efficient and economical footing; he would allow only such appropriations for rivers and harbors as are necessary under some systematic plan; the public building grab would have to cease; all manner of expenditures for the mere gratification of the people and for the purpose of re-electing men to congress would no longer be He would take the post office out of politics, make it a business utilize the organization to carry the mails at a profit and make the institution not only self-sustaining but a money making branch of the gov- Government officials would not be allowed to spend their traveling at home and abroad at the public expense. of federal . and congressional officers would be stopped.

It is of small bulk this deadly weed, is cheap in comparison with its elder brother, opium, and can be smuggled easily. The opium conviction does not, so far as we know, take account of the danger which threatens from the importation of this drug. The French authorities in China absolutely prohibit the hemp plant, but nevertheless, It is being taken into the country in ever quantities. It can be used as a drink, can be smoked or chewed; the physical and mental effects are dead- We have not been able to ascertain as yet whether this noxious drug has made its appearance in Hong Kong, but we take this opportunity of call- the attention of the authorities to the danger of its doing so. It is a danger that should exercise the thoughts of the legislative council.

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.

He killed mine before the dog reached The rules finished, he took a piece of paper and pencil and went to each one and asked their names. Then he would mark something on that paper, I see the marks, but he could not write any better than I can now, and he couldn't improve on my spelling. He spelled Raleigh and other words as bad. When he got to me he snarled out is your I said know my name, for I told it to you that day when you killed my I was named for a fighting man down here in South Carolina, and it is a good thing that I was not as large as he that day.

When he had finished with the names, he settled down on his chair again and said, get to studying your books, the last one of Sister and I opened our blue back over to the back side where that old man had that little boy bayed up the apple tree, and I watched that old fellow and decided that he was real cruel any way, though Mr. Webster tried to put all the blame on that poor little hungry waif. I never did like the looks of that old fellow's face, and I never did believe that he spoke very kindly to that boy from the first. Then I turned over to where that old farmer and lawyer were arguing about their beast, and there was human That about finished the so I had to look on ray book and there was nothing else in it of interest to me.

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.

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 house you could call and made 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 will pardon to some extent my scribbling, won't you now, Mr. as the twig was For seats were the out side slabs sawed from 2-ft. logs with two holes bored in either end of these, kinder wise in these holes and on the bark 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 gone on to Goldsboro and it was Mon- day, a. and papa said to my brother, years my senior, and my sister, years my senior, and me, then near years old, children get your These consisted of second reader, Stoddard's mental arithmetic for my brother and Webster's blue back one each for sis- and me.

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 pated with much pleasure by who will take advantage of the cheap rates to visit the beach, and every preparation is being made for the convenience and comfort of the visitors. or doses will cure any cases of Chills and Fever.

He did not believe any of the commandments can be set person can violate either of them and be a true Christian. It 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 of the law every wheel would stop at mid-night Saturday and not move mid-night but because there are some evils we cannot is no reason that we should open the doors and permit others that we 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. Mr. E.

N. 1913 By Dr. George E Strayer of Colombia University 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.
