This is another proud day for
Greenville and Pitt county, and it
fully demonstrates the interest our
people feel in the institution they la-
bored so earnestly to have located
here, and none are more rejoiced than
they over the great success to which
this institution has attained.
On the second day of July, three
years ago, the first spade of dirt was
thrown in preparation for the build-
to be provided for East Carolina
Training school. The an-
of that date following this
year coming on Sunday, today was
as the day upon which to

Beside the people of the town and
county who were out in large
there were many here from
other towns, in fact, the eastern sec-
of the state was well represent-
ed. Some business houses of Greenville
were closed during the exercises, so
they might have an opportunity to
attend, and the auditorium of the
school was filled. The president and
faculty and board of trustees of the
county and town officials, and
speakers taking part in the program
had seats upon the rostrum.
After prayer by Rev. C. M. Rock,
pastor of Memorial Baptist church,
and the singing of Hail the
Power of President
Wright welcomed all here, and in in-
ex-Governor T. J. Jarvis,
who was to give the history of the
origin and progress of the school, Mr.
Wright stated that the spade with
which the first dirt was broken by
Gov. Jarvis and the photograph taken
of the scene had been and would be
preserved as long as the institution
stands.

As we are assembled to celebrate
the third anniversary of the breaking
of ground for the buildings of the
East Carolina Training
school, I deem it appropriate to give
you a brief account of the beginning,
growth and work of this school.
The act establishing the East Car-
Training school was
passed by the legislature at its
in 1907, and was ratified March
8th, 1907.
On the 7th day of May, 1907, the
people of Greenville, by practically a
unanimous vote, authorized the board
of aldermen to issue and sell
000.00 of bonds with the distinct
that the larger part of it
was to be appropriated to this school,
if it should be located at Greenville.
And, on the 14th day of May, 1907,
the people of Pitt county, by a large
majority, -voted to issue and sell
000.00 of bonds for a like purpose.
The act creating the school
towards the
and equipment of the buildings
and authorized the state board of
education to locate the school at some
point in Eastern North Carolina. A
number of the progressive towns in
the eastern section of the state made
attractive bids for the location of
this school in their midsts. Green-
ville and Pitt county jointly offered
the state board of education
000.00 in cash, to be expended in the
purchase of a site and the erection
of buildings, if the school should be
located at Greenville.
The state board of education vis-
the several towns bidding for the
school, and inspected the sites offered,
and in July, 1907, the board, after
careful consideration, located the
school at Greenville and selected the
present site.
The trustees of this school were
appointed by the state board of ed-
in accordance with the act
creating the school, and these
tees met in the town of Greenville
on the 9th day of March, 1908, and
organized. At this meeting J.
Jarvis, J. Y. Joyner and Y. T. Or-
were appointed an executive
committee, and Hook and Rogers, of
Charlotte, and H. W. Simpson, of
New Bern, were chosen architects.
The second meeting of the board of
trustees was held in Greenville on
April 16th, 1908, at which time the
architects submitted to the board the
plans, which had been approved by
the executive committee, for four
buildings, An administration
building, a dormitory, a
dormitory and a refectory. The
plans were approved by the board,
and the committee was instructed to
call for bids and proceed with the
erection of the four buildings. How
well the committee obeyed their in-
and performed their duty
you can judge for yourselves by an
inspection of these four buildings.
The committee advertised for bids,
and on the 9th day of June, 1908,
these bids were opened. There were
eighteen bidders present. They came
from Georgia, South Carolina, North
Carolina, Virginia and New Jersey.
There was difference be-
tween the highest and lowest bids,
the highest being by G. W.
Wharton, of N. J., and the
lowest by the Building and Lumber
Company, of N. C, for
The Building and Lumber Company
gave the bonds and executed the con-
tracts required by the committee, and
on the second day of July, 1908,
three years ground was
broken for the erection of these
buildings; and it is this event we
celebrate today. I make bold to as-
that nowhere else in North Car-
at any period in her history,
has so much done in the cause
of education in the same length of
time as has been done here in the
last three years.
Hear This Marvelous
The contractors began the work of
construction as soon after July 2nd
as they could complete their
rations, and they pushed the work
with all speed with good
workmanship, both Messrs. York and
the managers of the contract-
company, giving it their constant
attention, and the architects and ex-
committee making frequent
inspection. In excavating the ground
for the administration building the
contractors encountered at its west
end, on the highest point of the
ground, an extensive pocket of black
quick sand, into which one might in-
a rod several feet with one
hand. This unexpected difficulty
a suspension of work on
this building till we could go into
the woods and cut and haul piles, and
get a pile driver on the grounds to
drive them. As soon as this could be
done piles from to inches
in diameter and from to feet
long were driven into this
of quick sand, and on top of these
were put three feet of concrete. It
cost extra to make the
safe and secure, and when this
was done the work on this building
proceeded.
The legislature of 1909

furnishing and equipping all six of
the buildings, including the laundry
and refrigerating plant. The com-
directed the architect to
pare the plans for these two new
buildings. Bids were asked for these,
and the furniture and equipment for
all the business. These bids were
opened on the 4th day of May, 1909,
by the executive committee, and the
contract for the two additional build-
was awarded to the same con-
tractors at the price of The
committee remained in session three
days and let the contracts for the
furniture and equipment for all the
buildings.
The board of trustees met on June
11th, 1909, and after having received
full reports of the progress of the
work of construction, determined to
upon the school for the reception of
students on the 5th day of October,
1909. At this meeting Prof. Robert
H. Wright was elected president of
the institution, and C. W. Wilson, H.
E. Austin, Sallie Joyner Davis, Maria
D. Graham and Minnie E. Jenkins
were elected professors. The other
positions were filled later on; and
by earnest and untiring effort the
buildings were ready and the officers
and teachers on hand prepared to
open the school on October 1909.
The enrollment of students on the
first day exceeded our fondest ex-

Out of Their Own Mouths.
Speaking on the floor of the United
States senate the other day, Hon.
Elihu Root, Protectionist though he is
and has always been, gave utterance
to this
I never have thought that the duties
which were imposed upon farm pro-
ducts were of any real general
fit to the farmer.
And no more do the vast majority
of the Republican apostles and de-
fenders or inordinate Protection so
believe. The fact is that the party and
the men who put and have kept so-
called protective duties on staple
products acted in the be-
ginning, and have ever since continued
to act, not with a view to
the but with a view to de-
the agricultural interests into
the belief that they were sharing in
the spoils of Protection and so into
support of the protective system. To
say that they have not resized from
the start that no amount of pro-
could effect, one way or the
other, the prices in the domestic mark-
et of products of the soil of which we
grow a surplus for export, over and
above a sufficiency for home
would be to credit them with a
lack of intelligence which they have
far from shown in any other
What they have done has been
to play upon the credulity of the farm-
and so Induce them to serve as
to save the chestnuts of the
inordinately protected manufacturing
Interests from burning.
And what is true of the farmer is
also true of labor. It is these two
elements of the citizenship of the
country which have kept the
policy alive and in effect, lo, these
many years, both deluded into so do-
by the utterly fallacious plea that
they were the beneficiaries of the sys-
The fact is, as both the
and the working man are
now beginning to realize, that neither

On the contrary, both are in-
When even avowed Protection-
are themselves driven to admit
so much, certainly It is high time the
farmers and the workingmen were
making their awakening complete and
ceasing to act as stool-pigeons for
the few privileges beneficiaries of a
system which robs them in the name
and under the guise of Protection.
The Dog and The Tax.
A correspondent in today's
speaks a word in behalf of the
dog. We had not supposed the
had been understood to be
war on all dogs, for there are
good dogs and bad
dogs and vagabond dogs. The collie
and the shepherd are practically use-
to the farmer while every farmer
should keep his own bird dog, hunt
out as many of his own partridges
as he might desire and save them
from destruction by the pot hunters
But he should pay tax on his dogs.
The very objection which our
urges against the dog tax.
that rather than pay this tax
many owners will kill their dogs, is
the exact reason why the Chronicle
urges the imposition of the dog tax.
man who owns a dog worth paying
taxes on will sacrifice the dog for the
sake of a dollar, but the operation of
the law would result in weeding out
the hordes of vagabond dogs which
over-run the state. In some of the
counties in which a dog tax was
a number of dogs were killed
by their owners this year. A dog law
that would operate otherwise would
be of no account. We believe our
correspondent will agree with us that
any man who owns a good dog ought
to be willing to pay taxes on him.
And a dog not worth paying tax on
ought to die. Save the sheep should
be the slogan of the next
Chronicle.

Owning Home Industries at Home
The best city in the South, as far
as the knowledge of the writer ex-
tends, from every point of view, is a
small city in which every industry,
with one exception, is owned by
who reside in the city, is operated
by local people and by people whose
interest center almost exclusively in
the place. The industry owned
by outsiders was established by lo-
cal people and much of its stock is
yet held by them. As an illustration
of how local ownership of industries
helps, there is one large industry in
the city referred to which was found-
ed twenty-five years ago with
capital of this concern has been
increased to and every dollar
of the new capital has been earned
by the company in the course of its
quarter of a century in business.
There are several men interested in
this business who have wealth by
means of the earnings of this
If it had been established and
owned by persons living elsewhere,
the profits would have been
elsewhere and would have gone
to enrich other cities and towns.

School Keeper Cuts Short The Flow
of Eloquence.
Hanrahan, N. C, July my
last had come to a
close and books are called. With
sad hearts we had to respond to that
authoritative call. So here he went
each one trying to
make the most racket. Our tyrannical
school keeper had fully settled down
to his day's task. I had been plan-
marshaling my forces,
consisting of the small boys and
for something that I deemed
more entertaining than spending that
long afternoon in looking at the few
pictures in that old blue-back speller.
That faithful old servant of God, the
circuit rider they called him in those
days is called now the pastor in
who got around one Sunday
in about four months, had preached
the day before, Sunday, at our nearest
church, live miles away. Papa and
mother went and ca. us children,
Mrs. Meadows and her two children.
The preacher gave a long discourse
sermons were the standard by
which talent was measured in those
on the life and labors of Mr.
Meadows, the one that the tree kill-
ed. He had told of his love for
country, his devotion to home and
family, of his tragic, untimely death.
He told in loud and thrilling tones
of the pitiable condition of his
ow and two helpless children left in
this cold world without an earthly
pilot to steer their over life's
troublesome sea, no star of hope
from which to get their bearings, no
light house on the craggy rocks nor
beacons of friends nor loved one
standing along the shore. All seem-
ed darkness, gloom, yea, even dis-
pair, for besides the loss of husband
and father it was war times, and the
looming of the cannon could be heard
from off Fort Fisher.
But with all its gloom and sadness,
my young heart and soul had caught
on fire with inspiration and I deter-
mined at some future day to
duce in my own words a part, at
least, of this sermon as a eulogy to
my murdered dog, for then I thought
that dog almost, if not quite, equal
to any man, and vastly superior to
many men, his slayer, for instance.
But I had not the slightest idea that
the yearned-for time and place would
so soon present itself, but
come only to those who use
them, a lesson that my oldest sister
had taught me, though I was young.
So on entering that old cabin the
small boys and girls at my
planned signal, each and all
in a space arraigned behind the
door, as I had hoped would cut off
from view of that old man. Soon he
had called up the large boys and
girls to their reading lesson.
This was the time of my
So I mounted one of those
sharp edged benches and began my
discourse in real My subject
was faithfulness of a true dog
to his I had told of his no-
qualities, of his sleek black hair,
his charming beauty, of his never
guarded faithfulness, especially to his
young master. I was about to reach
the climax as I then thought a pow-
oratorical display, of eloquence
and pathos. I was telling with
feeling of the tragic death of
that faithful companion and play-
mate of mine, and saw in reality, or
imaginary, tears of sympathy rolling
down the cheeks of my attentive list-
when I felt a severe rap across
my back was repeated for
several times h. quick succession.

licks and I had the rejoinder. So I

would die before I would be driven,
so he sauntered back to his seat
after making my hearers face to-
wards his cabin.

wore drearily away until o'clock,

told papa that if he would not send

The road-drag joy ride is an idea
from Missouri. A few weeks ago a
farmer south of Columbia put into
operation an efficient system plan
when he used his road-drag for a
wagon on a trip to town with pro-
duce. He could boast afterward that
he had combined two pieces of
business in one movement.
Yet a later experiment goes even
further than this by welding
and pleasure. This is the Mel-
System, named for L. T. Mel-

His wife wished to visit a neigh-
about a mile away, and, as he
was using the team to a road-drag,
he placed a few boards and a seat on
the drag, Mrs. was hauled
to the neighbor's and later brought
home on the drag. Thus the road work
was not delayed nor the lady
pointed.
The only unpleasing aspect is that
the lady must have reached the
neighbor's badly mussed from jolting,
and somewhat sprinkled with dust.
Yet from this crude beginning
legislation may spring, as,
say, a law requiring all joy-riding

For Roads.
Major A. A. in The
Fayetteville Observer, is advocating
an issue of in bonds to build
good roads for Cumberland county,
and one argument which he uses is
to all counties. It is that
it is cheaper to issue bonds than it is
to build roads by the direct tax
system. He gives the figures to prove
it, says Major
three years ending December
1910, that our county has spent
946.75 for good roads, an average of
per year, and at each meet-
of the commissioners there are
delegations from outlying districts
begging for our small convict force,
and under a bond issue we could give
such sections relief. Under a bond is-
sue of at per cent, would
cost per annum interest,
which is less than we are now
paying, so that we would only have
a sinking fund to provide for. With
under contract system, we
could build good roads for the whole
county in a short time, and in my
opinion at less cost than we are now
paying per The bond issue for
building good roads in the state is
growing in popularity. Iredell gave
it an impetus when that county voted
an issue of If Iredell can
stand that much, certainly the big
county of Cumberland could stand
half as much. It is a good sign that
the people do not stand so much in
fear of bonds as formerly. A few
years hence, we expect to see

Prohibition Will be Given Real Test
With the elimination of the near-
bear saloons in North Carolina the
prohibition law will be given a real
test. The old saloon with its
of crime and vice passed away
when the prohibition law came into
effect, but the near-beer saloon took
its place in many parts of the state.
It is true that some of these places
were kept clear of vice and run in a
manner. But attendance
upon the sittings of a recorder's court
in almost any town of the state would
convince any one that these places
were the centers from which a large
part of the crime committed in the
community radiated. It was in con-
either direct or indirect, with
these places that the greater part of
the illegal sales whiskey were
made. The gruesome murder recently
committed to county in con-
with one of these places
brought home in an impressive man-
to the people of this section the
criminal aspect of near-beer saloons.
With the elimination of the near-
beer saloons the last hang-out place
of the saloon element has passed.
What other center this element will
congregate around remains to be seen,
and the workings of the real
law will be watched with much
interest from this time

recently provided for by the
What I wish to know is. how you
can link both of these propositions
together and ask all who are in favor
of good roads to with you. There
are very few, if any, in the township
who are not in favor of good roads,
but there is quite a large number,
an overwhelming majority, I think,
who are opposed to the bond issue as
proposed in the legislative act.
I have noticed that those who favor
the bond issue are continually
calling themselves the friends of good
roads, and in the same breath are
dubbing those opposed to this bond
issue as the opponents of good roads
which strikes me as another effort
to befuddle the issue and mislead the
people.
How strange it is, that those who
favor the issuance of bonds are con-
trying to find some other
banner under which to conduct their
campaign Why is it that you do
not forthwith openly and boldly form
an association for the ostensible
pose of carrying the election for
bonds, and like men who have faith
in their cause, hoist on high a flag
that represents your true position

President Taft's recent statement
that the adoption of ex-Senator Aid-
currency system, designed to
put the control of American money
absolutely in the hands of Wall street
bankers, is the most important
now pending, has resulted in

the old issue being raised between
himself and progressive Republicans.
He has presented himself and his
administration as a new menace to
public interest and raised the Dem-
and progressive Republicans
to a higher plane of public useful-
as the only effective force the
public can rely upon to resist the
money power of Morgan and
the president's efforts to serve it.
Both Aldrich and Mr. Taft declare
there is no intention of establishing
anything like a central government,
bank. But nobody can read the Aid-
rich plan in detail without realizing
that it is a central bank of issue that
he proposes. His so-called
association of is to be the
depository and fiscal agent of the
national government. It is to have
the sole issue power. It may receive
deposits from those national banks
that are stockholders in it. It shall
establish branch banks which just as
under the central government bank
scheme, will rush their local deposits
to the central bank, thus taking
money out of the community which
would otherwise be loaned out for in-
vestments in home enterprises. It
may buy and sell government and
state securities and gold coin or
lion. may paper for
banks depositing with it.
In short, the Aldrich reserve
is a bank with immense
and powers, but without the
name of a bank. Wall street will
control it. It is obvious that the
words were
because of the prejudice against
such an institution by the country
banks. Uncle Sam once tried a
bank. It was manned and ma-
by politicians and brought
a panic on the entire country. Aid-
flimsy misrepresentations even
though endorsed by Mr. Taft, will
accomplish but little. Remembering
its last experience, this government
will not stand for another central
government bank.

vote of the people, which is now held

EDITORS AT
The editor of The Reflector is back
at his post after an absence of four
days attending the meeting of the
North Carolina Press Association at
Lenoir. He has attended many meet-
of the association since he be-
came a member in 1878, when he
Joined at Catawba Springs, near
Hickory, and can truthfully say that
none of them was more delightful
than this last meeting at Lenoir. The
people of that progressive mountain
city did everything that seemed
to add to the pleasure of their
guests.
Arriving at Lenoir Monday evening,
the editors were met by a committee
of citizens and taken to their
stopping places, most of them
being quartered at Davenport Col-
where the sessions of the con-
were held. Rev. J. B. Craven,
president of the college, and his
charming wife, gave every attention
to the comfort of those stopping with
them.
At the first meeting of the con-
Monday night, the board of
trade distributed envelopes contain-
post card views of Lenoir for
the use of the members in writing
home, and checks for cold drinks or
cigars at any of the drug stores.
Tuesday morning they were taken in
carriages and automobiles for a
drive up Hibriten mountain and lunch
WM served on the mountain top.
That afternoon while the members
were engaged in meeting, the ladies
of the editorial party were delight-
fully entertained at a reception by
the ladies of Lenoir. That evening
the men had automobile trips around
the city.
Tuesday night and Wednesday
forenoon were devoted to the
of the convention. In addition
to the part taken by the editors in
the splendid program, there were ad-
dresses by several distinguished men
of the state, these being Dr. Joseph
Hyde Pratt, Dr. Few. president of
Trinity College, Dr. John A. Ferrell,
Hon. J. R. Young. Dr. Poteat, founder
of Wake Forest College, and Con-
John H. Small.
The work of the convention was
completed by dinner Wednesday,
though the program had to be rather
hurried, and that afternoon a large
number left on the three

Grand Father
Mountain and other points in that
beautiful country. While The Re-

The lawyers took a step in the
right direction at the meeting of the
Bar Association at when

that the law relating to the selection

The silver maple as a shade tree
is tabooed by the shade tree com-

established fact that this particular
tree is short lived, will not stand the
strain of heavy winds, and
is too small when full grown to
ford any great amount of shade.
The shade tree commission of
Trenton is doing a splendid work
along the line of beautifying the
city. We believe a similar com-
mission for Greenville would be a
good thing. There is too much
less slaughter of trees here by
who have no conception of civic
beauty, and we suggest that the new
board of aldermen elect a committee
of its members to look after this in-
of the town and not leave it up
to the police as heretofore.
It is important that we have
shade trees and that they be protect-
ed and not butchered by the author-
as it were.
It is to be hoped there will be a

what people want they will come and

men followed it. But the shrewd, up-
to-date business man will not follow
such fossilized methods, but through
judicious, attractive and generous ad-
tells the public what he has,
and the public reciprocates by

want to bother themselves with won-

Mr. Clark's attitude toward the

thoughtlessness, or, perhaps, of a

the disease-shaft frequently hits. It
is not an infrequent occurrence for
people, when they go to public places,
to make certain of the purity of the
drinking water, before touching it, and
yet give little heed to the receptacle
that holds the water, or the drinking
cup that is hanging nearby, of per-
haps resting on some soggy spot. And
the cup probably holds more
germs, more kind of germs,
running the gamut of disease,
consumption, and
than anything else. Hence, now
much attention is being given to this
menace. The attention is widespread,
but it is going to be even wider, and
of much greater force. Means now,
such as paper cups, each cup suitable
for but one usage, are being adopted,
and many people go armed with their
own drinking cups to public places.

says, cotton is not simply an asset of
great value to the South, but also
of vital importance to the prosperity
of the United States.
In the cultivation of cotton and the
manufacture of its various products
the South has a field of unchallenged
supremacy and prosperity. A proper
exploitation of this field means a

Way Out of Difficulties.
Hanrahan, N. C, June 1911.
It seems that digression is a large
part of my profession when looking
for something better than I have in
possession. So from my first day at
school I'll wonder away, and in-
stead tell something of my sea-side
stay.
What did I see at Ocracoke Lots
of tame-wild geese and many dead-
live oaks. To a kinder people I
never spoke. They will feed you,
sleep you, and tell you a Joke, take
you to the surf, let you tumble and

how the island got her name
never say how a ship that was
passing in the darkness got lame.
She carried as a mascot a cock that
was game, by crowing at day light
he had reached some fame. The ship
had sunk to edge of her and
a voice was heard through an old
fashioned funnel, and the captain ex-
claimed, Crow let each
get quick to his bundle and respond
to the call from the funnel, and
through the darkness they waded
ashore and since that time this name
it bore, except for that

some other city up in the interior.
But his destination, wherever it may
have been, even if it were Hanrahan,
he had evidently never in broad day-
light and in the presence of her
father, mother and others embraced
a girl. But awhile ago one of those
lovely belles, who live close to
and nature's God, came up in
the Interior, and her winning ways,
cultured discourses, many of
them are posted on most any subject,
learning both from observation and
by being trained in our best
and refined looks captured his heart.
So he took a trip after corresponding
a while to see her, and to be sure he
was putting on all the dignity he
knew how. Sunday came and it was
church time. They both wore their
best tailor-made clothes, silk hose
and patent leather slippers. They
were followed by her parents, and
several other young couples made their
way to the church. About mid way
the island is a slough that at high
tide is about knee deep in water.
This must be crossed to reach the
church. On arriving at this slough
our gent from the interior was very
much embarrassed. He stood for a
while and looked at his girl and then
at the water, but what to do he did
not know. As he was from the city
she hesitated in suggesting a way
out of his dilemma. So at last he,
with shoes and all plunged in and
waded across, leaving his best girl
on the opposite side. She seeing no
other way out waded in, too. A nice
plight they were in to attend church.
So they stood awhile and pondered.
He would look at his girl and then
his vision wandered. He saw she
smiled, but why he did not know.
So while they were hesitating and
he was strenuously meditating, an-
other young couple arrived on the

it behooves us as farmers to study
the situation, to stand by our crops,
seek advice from each other and try
not to let our crops suffer through
any mistake of ours.
There is another thing that should
not escape our scarcity
and high price of hay. Many farmers
are now paying to cash per
ton, and to on time for
thy hay. The drought has cut short
the hay crop in the north and west,
and hay is going to be scarce and
high next winter and spring.
Fortunately, it is not too late for
to yet the and
that we will need. An acre or two
sowed or planted to sorghum now, or
any time in July, and well fertilized,
will yield an abundance of forage.
Millet can be sown, as also can corn,
cow peas and soy beans, and no op-
should be spared to grow an
abundance of these crops to provide
ample supply of forage for winter and
spring.
In the fall, rye, winter oats, wheat,
barley, crimson clover and vetch can
be easily and cheaply grown, and is
far superior to the best timothy
hay.
We recently saw a farmer paying
cash per ton for hay, and we
wondered by what process of reason-
he arrived at the conclusion to
grow cotton and to buy hay instead
of growing the hay himself. And as
we pondered we thought of the re-
mark of a ten-year-old boy, who stood
in a cotton field, leaning on his hoe
handle, in the middle of an after-
noon, about the last of May, watching
a farmer driving by with ten bales
of hay on his wagon. He had passed
early in the morning on his way to
town and was now on his way home.
As we drove by with the cultivator
the boy said, I have just been
thinking. If that man had gone out
last fall with his team and prepared
half an acre of land and sowed to oats
and crimson clover, and cut with
mowing machine this spring and put
in the barn, it would not have taken
longer to do this work than he has
been gone from home for this load of
hay, and he would have made as much
or more hay, too, and could have
saved the money he paid for that
Was the boy right
Unless more than ordinary
is paid to our forage crops from
now on, many farmers in this state
will buy hay next summer at prices
higher than they have paid for it
in years. The hay crop out West it

The Jury's Verdict in the Hill Tragedy
At Jamestown.
With the commissioners of Guilford
county who met yesterday for their
regular monthly session the report of
the coroner's jury in the Jamestown
tragedy of June when Mrs. Ida
Hill, of Lexington, met her death, was
filed by Coroner Wood, the last meet-
of his jury having been held last
Tuesday, the 27th. Their verdict
threw no light on the mystery that
has baffled the community in which
it occurred, and has caused consider-
able speculation on the two theories
of murder and suicide. The verdict
as filed
the undersigned jurors, sum-
and empaneled this day
by W. W. Wood, coroner of
ford county, to inquire into the cause
of the death of Mrs. Ida Hill, of Lex-
N. C, which occurred at
Jamestown, N. C, on the night of June
or morning of June in the home
of her mother, Mrs. Emily J. Rags-
dale, being duly sworn and having
viewed the dead body of the deceased
and after examining the evidence and
circumstances available and brought
before us, find that the death of the
deceased was unlawfully caused by
means of strangulation, but by whose
act we are unable to ascertain. Signed,
W. W. Wood, coroner; J. W.
D. F. Staley, H. P. Staley, E. S. Arm-
field D. W. Moore, C. V.
The jury first met on the day fol-
lowing the tragedy, but being unable
to ascertain any definite information,
deferred adjournment until the 27th,
which Coroner Wood states, was that
something tangible might develop.
Filed with the verdict was testimony
taken from Dr. J. R. Gordon, J. W.
and J. W. on June
8th.
Despite the verdict of the coroner's
jury the death of Mrs. Hill has gone
on record as one of the mysterious
tragedies in the history of the state.
The case which is still a subject of
discussion bring forth two theories,
those of suicide and murder. Every
effort that has been made has failed
to unravel the tangle, or to absolutely
dislodge either of the conflicting
ions, and although detectives have
spent many days studying, their efforts
to trail a murder have not resulted

Fountain Inn is a town in South

acquaintance with his next-door
neighbor and know his
janitor, while ninety-nine out of
one hundred faces he passed in
the street would be unknown. He
would rather hunger for the open
county and board walks, for fields of
clover, wheat, and barley, and he
would miss the cackle of the hens. In
Fountain Inn he knows all the first
names, hardships and triumphs,
and faults; he can sit up with
neighbors when they are sick, and
they will take notice when it is his
turn to die. The town is without
rich or poor, without saloons or

fortunate in their school. We like

cause they see In mission the
ming of better schools for their
and they are rallying to it.
So far, ladles and gentlemen, I
have simply been rehearsing facts
which are of record, and which any-
one may verify. I now propose to
submit a few reflections of my own.
This school is what its name
Training School,
nothing more and nothing less.
It does not aspire to be a college or
to do college degree work. It is not
in opposition or competition with any
college In the state, but it seeks to
serve them all by stimulating and
informing the public schools from
which they must draw their patron-
age. It has its own chosen field, and
it is content to occupy it. It does
not hope to completely fill this field
because its borders are ever widen-
and its opportunities and de-
ever increasing. The service
it is rendering in its chosen field is
fundamental and invaluable, and it
takes great pride in rendering this
service.
It stands for trained teachers for
our public schools, and it is bend-
all its energies to furnish such
teachers. It is so near the public
schools and comes in such close
touch with them, that it may well
be called a part and parcel of the
public school system of the state.
Ninety per cent of our people are
dependent alone upon the public
schools for what education they get.
The only training they and their
children can receive to fit them for
the duties of life, and for the dis-
charge of citizenship, is what they
are not trained to help conduct the
get in the public schools. If these
public are poor, then the
training they get will be poor. If
the training in these public schools
Is what it should be, then we may
look for an educated citizenship,
pared and equipped for the duties
that lie out before them. It there-
fore follows that a school that is
pouring its life into public
schools to make them better, is
great service to the state and
society.
The governments of our country
are coming nearer and nearer to the
people, and the people are being in-
and urged to take more effect-
control and management of
governments, national, state and
municipal. For the people to do
this wisely and well, it is absolutely
necessary that they should be
and fitted for these duties.
It must be clear to every thoughtful
man, that the great masses of our
people are dependent upon the
of the public schools, is de-
pendent upon the efficiency of the
teachers, and the efficiency of the
teacher is dependent upon the
of his training. The train-
ed teacher for the public schools,
is therefore, a public necessity. The
private schools and the denomination-
colleges may supply some of these
teachers, it is hone the less the
duty of the state to make ample pro-
visions for this vitally essential work
and to see to it that all the public
schools are supplied with trained,
competent teachers.
The state has taken charge of the
public schools. It levies and col-
the taxes for their support. It
appoints and licenses the teachers
to teach them, and it supplies the
money to pay them. It is therefore
imperative duty of the state to furn-
competent teachers for the child-
who are forced to attend these
schools or none. Anything short of
this is a criminal neglect of a public
duty.

Governor Address.
He said it filled him with pride to
be here, and in looking around upon
what is here, he must say that he
never saw a healthier three-year-old
institution, and that much credit for
it is due ex-Governor Jarvis, Super-
W. H. and the
late Hon. J. L. Fleming, who labored
so earnestly to secure it.
The state of North Carolina may
have made a good bargain in
this school, but if Governor Jarvis
made a bad bargain for Greenville
and Pitt county, it was the first bad
bargain he ever made.
The state levies taxes to maintain
schools not for the benefit of a few,
but for the benefit of all the people
of the state. We want to see North
Carolina occupy a high place; we
want to see our farmers and
prosperous and happy. We
want to see the lawyers, the doctors,
the teachers so honorable, so high
above suspicion, so worshiping at the
shrine of truth and Justice that the
finger of criticism can never he point-
ed at them. Teachers are laying the
foundation for this hi an educated
citizenship. If the teachers fail in
their duty, the structure of citizen-

Civil government is taught in our
schools, and it is well. I would not
say that the old govern-
of thousands of years ago was
not the best the men of that age were
prepared for. In those old days there
was no printing press, no rapid com-
so the people had to
struggle along with patriarchs, kings
and nobles to make laws for them.
The struggle of the successive ages
has been to throw off these and bring
the government to the hands of the
people. Self-government has come
to stay. The printing press and rural
mail delivery, coupled with the work
of the earnest teacher, the freedom
of the press, freedom of speech and
growth in intelligence have made
things change.
The old highway robber found the
farmer on his way to the market
an easy prey. Those robbers have
been succeeded by the green goods
and gold brick swindlers, and it re-
quires more intelligence to protect
themselves against these. When you
find men advocating an unjust law,
they do so under the guise that it is
best for the people. We need a high
class of citizenship to prevent being
deceived by these, and here is where
the work of the good teacher conies
in. Men must be above corruption
and the purchase of influence, and
they must have the courage of their
convictions and to do right.
Let no one think that because gen-
ago some great men were
produced who never saw inside of a
school house, that this can be done
now. The farmer who now plants
and cultivates corn after the methods
of the past can raise some corn, but
he's a failure as a farmer. Education
is preparation for life work, for con-
for the environments with which
you are to be surrounded. The thoughts
that stick are the ones that count.
Education makes people honest. Do
not think because you are honest now
that you need no fortification. The
tide and current of temptation run
high, and we need to strengthen
against this by a love of honesty and
honor. Overcome one temptation and
the next one Is easier to overcome,
likewise the yielding to one
makes it easier to fall under the
next. The first downward step is the
one to be regretted. Had not the
first step been taken no failure would
occur. The difference between a good
man and a bad man is not in statue
nor brilliancy, but in moral
One man resists temptation and
is good, another succumbs to the
temptation and is bad.

Good For The Lawyers.
At last the State Bar Association
has done something besides meet and
frolic. It has taken in favor of
reform in the judiciary system of the
state. The reforms which it would
advocate and which it will press be-
fore the- next legislature, are the
same that The Chronicle urged on
the past legislature, but to no avail,
because not a single lawyer came to
its support and the judges by virtue
of the dignity of their office, were bar-
red from even a suggestive support.
The State Bar Association has gone
on record on four important points
that the number of judges be
ed to twenty-four, that the present
system of rotation be abolished, that
solicitors be put on salary and that
the laws relating to the selection of
Jurors be amended. The association
appears to have been waked to the
importance of this judicial reform by
the very earnest and forcible remarks
of Mr. Chas. W. Tillett, who placed
the matter in such a light that a law-
even though a blind one, could
see. This action stamps the meeting
of the lawyers at as the most
important one they have held in this
state in years. If the reforms
are brought to pass, then will
the North Carolina Bar Association
have accomplished four distinctly
changes in the judiciary system
of the Chronicle.

South a Land of
It is the aim of the Progressive
Farmer to start a crusade for paint-
Southern farmhouses. Not only
does painting a house add greatly to
its beauty and to the beauty of the
whole farm on which it is situated,
but there is no doubt about it that
it has a subtle psychological effect in
bringing everybody on the place to a
more cheerful frame of mind.
There is something depressing about
a weather-beaten, unpainted house
that can not fail to have its effect
upon the temper and disposition of its
occupants. They can not have quite
the cheerfulness and buoyancy that
comes from beautiful surroundings
with the contagious suggestion of
cheerfulness and prosperity in them.
Paint the farmhouse and the farm-
will very soon decide that he must
have a farm fit to keep company with
the house; he will decide that he must
clean up the ragged patches and stop
the ruinous and cure the gal-
led and sickly spots and he will pres-
begin to take more interest in
his own appearance also. It is
to tell just how far-reaching are
the effects of a properly painted and
beautiful farmhouse.
Nor will this good influence stop
with the individual farmer. His
neighbors will presently become
ashamed not to have equally
homes for themselves, and the
neighborhood might soon become a
neighborhood of painted farmhouses,
and then this neighborhood might, by
the same process, awaken the em-
of other neighborhoods and
spread the good work still farther.
Not only is it worth while to paint
the farmhouse for the sake of the
beauty and also for the sake of the
cheering effect upon the persons who
live in it, but it is also worth while
as a matter of simple economy.
is already expensive, and
more so all the time, and paint
lengthens the life of the lumber.
The South is today the only section
of the country in which the painted
house is not the rule rather than the
exception. There might have been
some excuse for our backwardness
in this matter when cotton was selling
for or cents a pound and farm
lands worth to an acre, but
for the condition to exist today is an
indictment of our civilization. Our
farmers have money enough to enable
them to paint their houses and there
is no excuse for their not doing it.
We would like to have every Pro-
Farmer reader enlist himself
or. herself in this crusade for well
painted farm houses in the South. Of
course, the farmer who has had a
great deal of sickness in his family
or some similar misfortune, or who
is struggling to pay off a mortgage,
may be excused; but we should like
for the painting habit to become so
contagious among all others as to
make people the prosperous

even the bark can be plainly seen.

found in the heart of an ancient
king of the forest.
In an outlying part of the forest
are different logs. They are perfectly
opaque and tinted in soft browns and
grays. They are partly covered by a
great deposit of limestone and strange
bluish clay, whose depth shows how
many millions of years they
been there.
The most striking part of the for-
est is called Chalcedony Park. Here
is the greatest number of petrified
trees found in any one place in the
world. One of them has fallen across
a deep canon, feet wide, thus form-
the only bridge of solid agate in
existence.
The wood of these trees makes
beautiful ornaments when polished,
but it is so hard to cut that even mod-

And no more do the vast majority
of the Republican apostles and de-

believe. The fact is that the party and
the men who put and have kept so-
called protective duties on staple
products acted in the be-
ginning, and have ever since continued
to act, not with a view to
the farmers, but with a view to de-
the agricultural interests into
the belief that they were sharing in
the spoils of Protection and so into
support of the protective system. To
say that they have not realized from
the start that no amount of pro-

FEVER SITUATION
LESS THAN TWO CENT. ILL-
Report Is Result of Health Or.
of City.
Wilmington, N. C, July has
been learned this city during the
past few days that reports are
being circulated over North Caro-
and also different Southern
cities relative to typhoid fever in
Wilmington. These reports, in most
instances, are absolutely at variance
with the facts in the case. From May
1st to this date one hundred and sixty
cases of typhoid fever have been re-
ported as shown by the records in
office of superintendent of health,
and there is no doubt about every
case being reported as a very strict
ordinance was passed some time
since requiring physicians to report
all cases of typhoid and some ten or
fifteen other cases within twenty-four
hours. Of the cases in the above to-
twenty-eight were treated at a
local hospital and part of these were
from out of the city. Something over
thirty of the cases reported have
been discharged and there have been
only five deaths, two of these being
patients at the hospital and who were
brought here for treatment. This
shows that the death rate as to
patients has been less than
two per cent. At the present time
there are about one hundred and
twenty of typhoid in
ton, and, when it is taken into con-
that this is a city of
as shown by the last census, the
number is not considered as large by
any means. For a period of two
months there have been less than six
cases reported for each thousand of
the inhabitants. The type is very
mild and some of the leading
say it is what known as para-
typhoid, this being a name given to
the type of fever by Dr. Osier. In
para-typhoid the deadly typhoid germ
does not appear and patients often
recover in from ten days to two
weeks, and such has been the his-
of many of the cases here.
Records show that the number of
cases of fever here has been but lit-
if any, greater than in the other
towns of the state, but the reports
probably got started on account of
the council under the new
form of government passing a
number of stringent ordinances

seeing that the ordinances are being
enforced, in other words, the health
department with Dr. Chas. T.
a physician with splendid train-
for the work, began to clean the
city up ad it had never been cleaned
before and compelled the
of all sanitary laws.

typhoid was also at Wrightsville

Sometime during Wednesday night

the Atlantic Coast Line depot was
entered by an unknown party and
some of their goods was taken, the
exact amount of which cannot be
learned at the time this is being

brought from Tarboro to trail the
thief.
Entrance to the store was made
through the front door by breaking
a glass and unlocking it from inside.
A back window was found open and it
is thought the escape was made from
there.
