UNIVERSITY DAY

Chapel Hill, Oct 117th 
anniversary of the founding of the 
University of North Carolina 
celebrated in chapel and throughout 
the state last Wednesday the ex- 
of university day. In 
Hill the day was a holiday for the 
students. The alumni associations 
all over North Carolina and in many 
of the largest cities of the country 
celebrated the fittingly.

university faces a crisis, just as real 
and just as pressing as that brought 
on by the civil war, which resulted 
in the closing of the institution. The 
college is overcrowded in every way.

and naturally from the State, a more 
ample provision is made for the sup- 
port of the college. He quoted fig- 
to show that North Carolina, 
although possessing an amount of 
taxable property great- 
than Virginia, was appropriating 
for the support of its state university 
a sum that hardly exceeds half of 
the yearly Virginia appropriation. 
In his remarks at the chapel 
Thursday the fine 
celebration of university day, Dean 
Graham, of the academic department, 
after expressing the appreciation of 
the university at the wonderfully in- 
spiring support that the alumni 
all over the country brought, 
called the attention of the students 
to what he considered the most 
fact of the celebration Just 
This was the civic strength 
of the young alumni who chiefly made 
up the local program. The greatest

cents per pound for bis tobacco, the

who received an average of nearly 
cents per pound for his on the

an atmosphere in which it is safe for 
the young to live. This is in part 
brought about by the morning 
when all the students are 
together and in addition to 
the usual program observed at such 
times, President Wright in short 
talks holds up to the student body 
such high ideals of both life and 
work that impressions are made 
which, in a large measure, will en- 
into the formation of the

in these talks that which will pro-

TO 
THE 
Schools. 
by American Press 
IN the past the per cent of 
rural boys girls who never 
attended college have scarcely 
received their share of attention. 
The college has been developing lend- 
but the rank and file have been 
neglected. Only recently has the need 
of industrial education for great 
mass of people been recognized. 
Now that the necessity is seen steps 
are being taken to meet it It was 
thought at first that the country boy 
con Id obtain all education need- 
ed in a city high school. That Idea Is 
fast being outgrown. city high 
school was not created to meet the 
needs of the country boy, and it con- 
little that appeals to High

A DOMESTIC SCHOOL 
school principals have too long 
ranged their courses of study for the 
S per cent of their pupils who will go 
to college, ignoring the needs of the 
other per cent 
Hard as this system was on boy 
in town, It was harder still on the 
country boy. There was nothing In 
high school course that was con- 
even remotely with bis life on 
the farm. Most of his time was given 
to mathematics, Latin, German, etc. 
with perhaps a little music and art 
thrown In. The mathematics were o 
help in developing bis mind and teach- 
him to think. Latin and Ger- 
man were of little value except to the 
per cent who expected to enter col- 
The music probably was given 
by a teacher who couldn't sing half 
so well as the meadow larks at homo 
and the art by one who couldn't draw 
a cow or a pig to save his life. 
The worst part of the high school 
from the farm boy's standpoint was 
attitude toward work In general 
and farm work In particular. The 
boys and girls were encouraged to 
pare for college In order that they 
might get through life more easily, 
though perhaps they were not told ho 
In many words. The teachers talk- 
ed of the farm as a good place to 
come from perhaps, but carried the 
idea that farming was not a worthy 
calling for a boy with ambition. 
at- of 
away from farm toward the 
city. Not only was the farm boy de- 
any knowledge of the farm, but 
be was taught to see the bright side 
of every other calling and dark 
side of his own. It was little wonder 
that be left the farm at the end of his 
high school course. 
The high schools are coming to pay 
vastly more respect to the percent 
of their pupils. They are realizing the 
truth of the statement that the 
Increased a boy's wants 
without increasing his earning 
is a failure. Courses in carpentry, 
shop work and mechanics have been 
put in. The whole attitude of the 
high school is changing, and more at- 
Is being paid preparing 
dents for life than to preparing them 
for college. The students are being 
taught that It la an honor to work 
with their hands. The girls are being 
taught domestic science and home 
In high school has 
seen Its opportunity and is grasping it. 
In all this development the country 
boy has been left out The 
of the high school Is still that 
of the city. A few have attempted to 
teach agriculture, some have 
It has become plain, however, 
that a school located on a block of 
land In the heart of a city hope 
to teach agriculture with the greatest 
degree of success. With that 
has come the secondary 
school. Such schools are all too 
few as yet, but their numbers are in- 
creasing rapidly as the demand for 
them grows. Some are supported by 
the counties, some by the suites and 
some privately. Some of the 
national and preparatory schools have 
been very successful In teaching 
culture. Georgia has eleven district 
agricultural schools that ore doing 
a great work In the rank 
and file of the future of the 
state. Minnesota and Nebraska have 
schools of agriculture connection 
with their agricultural colleges. These 
are doing good work, but they are 
reaching only a small proportion of 
the farm boys and girls. One such 
school to a state Is not enough. 
The ideal school Is located 
away from heart of city. It 
has a liberal piece of land In 
with it To be successful It must 
be surrounded by enough of a farm 
to give It a flavor. As a rule 
these secondary schools are doing 
their work well; They have 
cut out the classics and the dead 
languages. They have substituted 
studies that help to fit the boys and 
girls for life on the farm. A large 
share of the study of books Is done 
with and study of living 
things substituted. The schools are 
well equipped with laboratories. The 
student works with corn, scoring, 
placing and testing. Judging corn la 
its fascinating a game as ever a boy 
engaged in. Even more Interesting Is 
the stock Judging. 
Few of the schools can afford to 
keep a complete line of live stock, 
but neighboring farmers are always 
ready to supply the deficiency. Then 
there are the machinery laboratories, 
where the boys learn some of the 
simpler principles of mechanics as 
plied to farm machinery. It puts a 
boy on his mettle to be loose 
on a pile of castings and told to put 
them together to form n binder. The

The greatest mission of any form of 
education is to teach people how to 
live. Not only must It teach them how 
to live well, but It will be successful 
directly In proportion to the number U 
reaches. The professional colleges have 
had to encompass themselves with 
restrictions In order that their 
professions might not become over- 
crowded. With agricultural education 
there Is no such fear. 
The danger Is In getting too 
much. The problem Is to get enough. 
Secondary agricultural education has 
been phenomenally successful because 
It teaches people the things they want 
to know. They do not take such

Is good for them. They can see for 
themselves that It Is good. They

give my views on the subject. 
If we could have our 
proved without bonds, which I think 
could be done, it would save us from 
a bonded debt. Just suppose that we 
were to issue of bonds. The 
interest at per cent, would be 
per year. Why not tax the 
for that amount and spend it on 
the Then in the course of 
five or ten years, with the help of 
the convicts and the road overseers, 
the roads could be made good. Then 
we would have the with- 
out the great debt lo tax the people 
on as long as the world stands, which 
we could not hope to get rid of before. 
We already have too much bonds, 
and I am against bonding our county 
and taxing the people for no use. It 
seems to me that come people never 
think what it will cost nor how much 
will be thrown away if we should is- 
sue these bonds that so much has 
been said about. I am afraid they 
and their children both will be sorry 
some day that they ever heard of 
bonds if we should get them.

of hogs in the South. can be 
raised as cheaply in the South as

and proceeds to this opinion 
with the fact that in a single year 
the city of Birmingham, Ala., sent in- 
to distant states for pork more than 
a million dollars The inference is so 
plain that he who runs may read. 
The bulletin goes into the effect 
which increased pork raising would 
have upon the volume and price of 
cotton, concluding that the best way 
to remedy the evils incident upon 
the farmer's being compelled to rush 
his crop to the market would be 
fount In supplementing cotton by 
other products. Of these supplement-

this horse jumped into one of the

Tribute to What the Farmers Con-

Editor 
I feel like taking off my hat to you

i he Farmers Consolidated 
Co. in trying to let the people know 
is doing in the tobacco world, 
etc. Also am glad you said some 
good thing of Mr. O. L. who I 
believe is trying to Inform the 
co farmer of the fact that it is to 
their advantage not to over produce 
if they expect fair prices. I have 
been at times right lonesome, as there 
is no one out near me that to 
the Consolidated Co. As I would look 
out early in the morning in the first 
part of the tobacco selling season 
and see dozens of loads going by 
headed for Farmville, it was enough 
to make a fellow lonesome, but it is 
DOt so now. The tide has turned 
toward Greenville and all is lovely 
and bright. The Greenville ware 
housemen and buyers too, must have 
realized that Greenville would drop 
to about sixth place if something was 
not done, and they have gone to work 
and are selling tobacco in the 
and are setting a pace for 
and Wilson, and leaving 
Farmville far behind. She is not 
even in the race. for the 
Greenville market. It is a humming. 
A strong pall, a long pull and a pull 
all together will keep Greenville In 
the lead. 
The Farmville union is raging now 
out our way, but so far as I see things 
the Farmers Consolidated Tobacco 
Co. is a farmers union and is as good 
as any farmer's organization, if men 
were loyal, as they will have to be if 
the union ever accomplishes any- 
thing.

Electrical Connections. 
In a delayed telegram due to south-

the severe Mr. W. L. Brown 
received information this morning 
that his son, Mi. Brown, was 
killed Tuesday afternoon in 
Fla. The only particulars given 
in the message was in effect that a 
severe storm was prevailing there, 
and while Mr. Brown was making 
electrical connections he was killed. 
Mr. Brown was an electrician and 
worked for a large phosphate com- 
in Mulberry. His father wired 
instructions for tho body to sent 
home, but up to this writing no fur- 
information has been received. 
The news of the tragic death of this 
young man has filled many 
here at his home with Badness. He 
had a host of friends and was held In 
high esteem. He was years of 
and is survived by his father, Mr. W.

The legislature made the mistake of 
opening the gap to the near-beer 
and the liquor crowd were quick 
to grasp the opportunity for making 
the near-beer joint a blind behind 
which to violate the law by selling 
whiskey. They want to make the 
prohibition law a reproach and dis- 
gust the people with it, but the 
themselves will be to blame if 
this is done. Instead of submitting 
to such violation of the law, the

Some hidden efficacy there

As Watt, night after night, observed

falling In his orchard, so did Dr. 
Blossom gaze upon the tail of the 
hog, profoundly meditating upon the 
secrets he suspected it to harbor. 
And, now, like all honest seekers 
the truth, he has been rewarded. 
Yes, the value of hog tails has 
been discovered. The news dispatches 
are disappointingly in their 
treatment of this important event,

has found that in the tail of the hog 
exists that, peculiar brand of blood 
from which hog-cholera scrum may 
be made. How simple it all seems, 
now that we know about It. All these 
centuries the hog has been carrying 
his drug store neatly hoisted above 
his hams. 
Of course, the longer the tail, the 
more serum to be had and the more 
cholera can be cured. Wherefore

He desired to have soil and climate

preparation for the meeting to be

case of Charlton is taking a long 
course. There is no 
question to be solved, though it is 
a serious one, being of just as much 
importance to society as to Charlton 
and his family, however. Yet weeks 
have already and there is no 
final decision. This case has not 
been settled in this country, and the 
trial of Dr. case is 
little older than the Charlton crime, 
is well under way in London The 
quickness and the sureness with 
which England moved in capturing

rapidity with which he has been 
brought to trial is indeed whole- 
some. The conduct of the case has 
not been sufficiently developed 
yet to draw a comparison, but in the 
quickness with which a jury was ob- 
one being selected in a few 
hours, the trial is far ahead of any 
big murder trial ever held in this

Editor 
Quite a time has elapsed since I 
wrote. I left Texas, respectfully the 
United States, and am once more back 
the Sierra mountains, and at 
home in mountain retreat. 
When I came back, I found a great 
change. The whole country from 
to this place and to San Di- 
i. e., the whole Valley, 
miles long and from to miles 
and more wide is in the hands of 
partly settlers and partly 
peculators. Here in this little city 
of about inhabitants there are a 
dozen land offices of of differ- 
companies. Nearly every train 
brings people here from Texas, Okla- 
Missouri, Kansas, Iowa, even 
Minnesota, with the intention of buy- 
land. A great many have bought 
When one walks through the streets 
of this antique little city he hears the 
English language spoken everywhere. 
In one of my letters I mentioned 
that when people from the United 
States want to come here to buy lands, 
they ought to be on their lookout and 
beware of the land agents, and to buy 
from original owners or 
One can see here at present corn 
fields with ripe corn, corn in tassels 
in and corn knee high, 
planted three or four weeks ago. 
Bananas, oranges, lemons, 
and, in fact, all tropical fruits, are 
grown here in abundance and to per- 
Also pears, apples, plums. 
The woods are full of huckleberry 
shrubs, six to eight feet high. One 
will find bananas and oranges grow- 
wild; every day I get my bananas 
about a quarter of a mile from my 
house, out in the woods. 
The rainy season is 
season means that it rains In show- 
every hour or two, then 
the skies clear up. the sun shines 
clear and bright. Now we have the 
finest weather. We live under a deep 
blue Italian or Spanish sky. The 
heat is far less than in Texas; the 
nights are cool and pleasant; one 
needs a blanket to cover oneself. 
I missed The Reflector ever so 
much. Since I left I did not 
get it any more. 
I must close, for I am very busy 
now setting everything in order, 
planting and sowing garden seeds, 
in short turning the wilderness again 
into a paradise. One has no 
idea of the luxurious growth of 
weeds bushes when one was 
months away. I wish success to

They live here very much like 
they do in the States. I'll say for 
the benefit of the ladies, that they, 
too, wear puffs, rats, etc., in their 
hair. That was one of the first 
things I noticed with the women. They 
do not wear hats very much. Some 
of the girls do. but most all the older 
women wear silk scarfs of bright 
colors and black. Their clothing is 
very much like our own. 
Now for the benefit of the men. let 
me say that we have a goodly 
of while are 
who dress like most American 
men Very few wear the Sombrero 
large spiral shaped that 
have ho common in the interior. 
The natives as a whole seem to be 
what we would call the second class, 
however we have some very 
gent families. One patron of our 
school is a doctor and teems to know 
bis profession very well indeed. We 
have other wealthy families

I to a rock cave and while there 
star fish. After spending about 
an hour there we sailed around the 
point and went ever to a bank and 
gathered some of the most beautiful 
coral and shells I have ever seen. 
The time came all too soon to re- 
turn, so we very reluctantly sailed 
homeward. On our way home Mr. 
and I fished. He and I made 
a bargain which was. he was to 
catch the fish and I was to cook it 
and his wife to be the guest. The 
bargain was all there was to it tho. 
we did nU get a bite. I had 
the pleasure of seeing him try, just

the afternoon immensely.

party given Monday night under 
the auspices of the Young 
Christian association of East Caro- 
Training school That 
of the administration build-

was transformed into a veritable 
abode of witches, ghosts and spooks. 
The color scheme decorations 
were yellow and black, and there were 
features of these everywhere, with a 
mingling of autumn leaves, all kinds 
of lanterns, pumpkin heads, black 
cats, bats and owls. A In the 
society hall was a bank of cotton 
plants with open bolls, stalks of 
and pumpkin heads through whose 
grinning faces lights shone. 
When th-; ghosts appeared about 
o'clock there was a ring of mer-

and the fun of the evening 
began In earnest There were ghosts

a penny and a collar button, each 
having a significance to whom should

There was also in this room the 
wonderful Jack Homer pie just teem-

was in charge of Miss Ethel Out-

In one end of the hall was a flower 
booth, presided over by Miss

In a nook at the head of a stair- 
way was a den where Misses 
Mary Cotton Johnson, Rosa Ontario, 
and Savage told fortunes.

race which took place in the hall, 
and there were many contestants
