a word regarding a matter of
such great importance as this
school. It made his heart throb
with joy when he saw that the
was going to have a train-
school for teachers and the
possibility of Pitt county
should interest every citizen
of the county While he was
not of the class that
education as a panacea for all our
ills, yet he was ready to say an
educated citizen makes the best
citizen An father
does not always an
ed son, but an educated mother
means educated children If we
educate the girls of today who
are to be the mothers of the
next generation, it means the
children of that generation will
be educated. The value of a
training school like that proposed
to be established cannot be
mated.
Then addressing himself to
the grand jurors Judge Neal re-
red briefly to the importance
of their office and the
resting upon them. He
referred to the too
commission of

-ring with jurors in the effort
to ii them, evils which
he said

saying
a man who would perform
duties of his office fearlessly and
conscientiously.
After the close of the charge
and the grand jury had retired.
Judge Neal ordered the sheriff
to permit no one to pass out the
door. He then had the clerk to
write down the names of
enough good men in the
to compose a jury and those
were called up and as an
extra jury for the work to avoid
in getting
when other jurors are needed.
It was a wise step and shows
that Judge Neal does not believe
in the time of the court being
wasted.
The following cases have been
disposed of
Norman Hawkins, failing to
list taxes, pleads guilty,
upon payment
of taxes. The same
disposition was made of similar
cases against Peter Hines. James
Harris, colored, John Patrick

to suggest that you publish it in

In my in work-
for schools I have always
found the women, in the fore-
front of the battle, ready to do
and to dare whatever needed
insure success. They have an
inspiration to the onward
movement and much of
the credit for the beautiful well
kept school houses recently
erected in Pitt is due to them.
Now if we can only the
young the old-
enlisted in this movement to
build up in Pitt a
institution, its success is
certain. I therefore appeal to
the good women into th
fight, at once, and to work for
the location of this school in their
county till the going down of tie
sun on the 11th of May. The
location of this in Pitt
means great, things for the boys
and girls who are to-be the men
and women of the near future.
If these good women will make
up their minds to have it, it will
surely come. will cost so little
in money to get it that they will
not be imposing any burdens
upon the labor and property of
the men.

CURIOSITY.
SPEAKING ON TRAINING SCHOOL.
Strong Argument in its Favor.
It had been
ed that a speaking on the mat-
of the Eastern training
would take place in the court
house at noon M Jude
Neal not arriving until the noon
train there was no court during
the morning, and it was decided
that it would be better for the
speaking to take
court.
T ringing of the bell a little
past o'clock assembled a good
sized crowd in the court room
which was first addressed by
Senator J, L. Fleming. He
pointed out how in past years
Eastern North Carolina had been
practically ignored by the
in locating State
ions, while this section
was taxed year after year
to enrich the Piedmont section.
He also that of our
in the East, and because of
our having as much right to
help from the State treasury as
any other section, had name the
movement to establish the East
era training school. Senator
Fleming then went into the dis-
of the bond issue to
year from now you may change
your mind, but the chance will
be gone. It will be in some other
county.
Your vote will say one of two
things-, it will say whether you
will pay twenty five cents on
every thousand you have or
whether you wont pay a quarter
of a dollar to insure to your
children and grand-children the
advantages of having a good
school in the county. They may
want the school, but tiny wont
have any vale in the matter.
You are to say whether
school, with all the good it
locate miles of
shall come or the go
CO m other county.
Some of you arc
not able top y twenty five cents

true, then you wouldn't have to
secure the and plainly

the county to vote for it- His
speech was strong and forceful
Ex-Governor also
one of his practical speeches on
the question rig the great ad
vantage the school will be to Pitt
county how little it will cost
the people of the county to get
it. His argument was so plain
it looks like every one who
heard him could see that it is his
duty to vote for the school.

Some people have the idea that

in Greenville will be of
benefit to the town only, and not
to the county. On the contrary
the school would be ten fold more
benefit to the county than to the
own. Look into it and see
where the public school teachers

the country schools- There are
ten times as many teachers in
the country as in the town,
therefore the country be
the greatest beneficiary of the
training school for teachers.
Every man who has a child to
educate, or to see his
county progressive, should vote
for bonds to secure the
school.

Why Rubber Tires Got Hot.
When an automobile is running
at high speed the rubber tires are
rapidly warmed, and the heat some-
times becomes very great, with re-
injury to the rubber. Tho
cause of this accumulation of heat
in the tire is ascribed to the knead-
of the rubber, which generates
heat faster than it can be radiated
away. For this reason
have found it to be an
to have metal parts in the
tread, such as tho ends of rivets, in
contact with the tire, because the
metal, being a good radiator, helps

The old and cheap way is called air

from the fields and racked in barns

there subjected to a continuous high

THE QUESTION SETTLED.
No Bond. be Sold the
Training School it Located in Pitt
Some people have formed very
erroneous ideas about th bond
election to be held May 14th for
the of securing the lo-
cation of the Eastern trailing
school in Pitt county. One of
these ideas that we have several ,
n. i . j . disturbances may have cut
times heard expressed is that ii the resources of the great spend-
should be earned who have left untold i
tn coffers of the hotel men
the army of subordinates
have fattened on tho
by the Am. r
Many noted in the Lon-
don metropolis will be mi sod,
for a lack of spending n
which took is i in Wall
street.
Favor of bonds and the school
lie located elsewhere than in Pitt
county, the county commission-
won't sell the bonds any way
and proceed money for
other purposesIn order to set the public right
on this question and let those
holding such an idea see the
error of it, the following letter
was addressed to Chairman R.
W. King and through to
the board of commissioners, ask-
a statement from them in
regard to the matter. The an-
from these gentlemen shows
that the money will be used for
no other purpose but the school,
and if the school is not located
in Pitt county not a dollar of the
bonds will be sold used for
any other purpose. Tho letters
