Major Stedman's Philippine Speech. I
Wilmington Mrning Star.
In the House on January 23rd,
Representative Chas. M. Stcdman,
of the Fifth North Carolina Dis
trict made the best speech we have
seen concernlngself-governemnt for

Major Stedman not only empha
sised the duty we owe to the Phil
ippine people and contended for a
fulfillment of party pledges, Dem
ocratic pledges in particular and
Republican promises as well, but he
submitted an array of argumentlve
facta, statistics and history that
hardly admit of subversion ny th*»
most sdroit opponent of Philippine
independence at as early a period
as practicable. |
Tne North Carolina statesman
made a great impression by his
speech, and his fine delivery and
aloquent words gained „ for him '
the closest attention. Both Demo

It wss a masterful speech, snd not

JUDGE HAS PERSONALITY.
Judge Charles M. Cook Tjplral Houtli
erner of Timea CJone Hy.
Durham Sun, Feb. 25.
There is not a bigger hearted
man on die entire Superior court
bench of the State than Judge
Charles M. Cook, formerly qf Louls
burg but now of North Caroli.na,
who is presiding over the criminal
term of Durham county's Superior
court this week. He never hears
the call of mercy, when there is
justification, that he does not re
spond in a manner that is delight
ful and typical of the Southern I
gentleman of the yesteryear, *who
is all too fast disappearing. The
many years of active practice of
law, combined with many other
later years'on the bench, have fail
ed to harden him toward humanity,
but has made him more considerate
of the frailties of human life. There
are those obcessed with modernity
who are inclined to consider Judge.
Cook as a "old fogy", and criticise |
him mildly. These are
are more the result of impulse than I
of ,mature Judgment. Ills inclina
tion to lighten the gloom of crim
inal courts has resulted several
times in the court honored by his
presence being characterized as be
ing in the nature of an opera
bouffe, fey those Vho do not under
stand the temperament of the man.
and the age h erepresents.
It is only the older court attend
ants who understand the manner
isms of Judge Cook, and oppreclate I
Hu m li r their real merit. To the
casual vlmi'.'r, some of his sayings
appear uncalled for, and out of I
place, but it is because they do not
know Volumes of pioit |
Interesting reading could be writ
ten by any chronicler of the pro- J
ceedings of a court presided over 1
by Judge Cok, and the novelists
are missing the best subject of the'
decade in overlooking him as the J
principal character in the day's,
"best seller." '
He has a way of calling down a ,
"fresh" lawyer that is often re
freshing, yet the "calling" is not
tinged with the touch that leaves a
lasting sting. The dull and formal
proceedings of the court are en-|
livened often by the injection of a
frivolous and sometimes pertinent
remark from the bench. Thus for,
the 35 or 10 weeks of the vear
Judge Cook travels over the State!
hearing hundreds of cases that
would tax the nerves and ability
of any but the best equipped, see
ing sorrow, sin and degredation in |
every form. It's small wonder,;
therefore, that he wants to break |
the monotonous grind with a lit
tle spice.
Juilge Cook hns little use for'
slang, and if a witness wants to get !
His Tlonor's bod graces, Just let him|
spring some of the back allev talk |
while testifying. The Hise of the
word "gun," referring to a revolver,
will certainly call for a r»prlm.ind
from the bench when Judge Cook,
Is presiding. A witness yesterday I
sprung a new one on him however, |
and., while he was trying properly
mentally to digest it he let the of-|
fending witnes sescape without the |
expected rebuke. There was a blind
tiger case up, and the witness re
marked that so ond-so was trying
"to soak his overcoat". The word |
"soak" was a new one on the;
Judge, anil he said so.
Yesterday, the Judge In passing
sentence on a couple oi men con
victed of retailing, remarked that
the State had adopted the prohi
bition law, and It was the duty of
all to support It, whether they fa
vor it or not. He declared that he
himself ban'enjoyed an occasional
visit to the cup, but waa willing
to sacrifice his personal desires for
the benefit of tne State.
Judge Cook Will not tolerate
whispered conversations in court.
Yesterday, V. 8, Bryant and W. O.
Hramham were conversing, when
suddenly they heard the Judge say,
"You boya atop that talking right
now."
And they stopped. too, and their
facea were suffused with blushes
Just like a school boy when caught
whispering by the teacher.
"Say, you old bald-headed m.in,
thundered the Judge to one in the
audience, "you get off that rail
ing and quit talking." and he of
the allck pate quit Immediately.
"Sheriff, ahut the door and don't
let anr one out iintll I aay so," was
an order yesterday afternoon which
prevented a general exodus nt one
time which was producing disa
greeable disturbance to th* court
proceedings. -

ALAMANCE AGAIN TO THE

Leads Not Only State But Entire
~ South in Ciub Work.
I' Alt VI IIOMIi DKSIOKSrBATOK AP

Many Times In Past Year Has The
( ounty Taken Her Place at Head >
Heview of Past Year'* Work
Along Several Unco.
In January, the County Commis
sioners and the County Board ot
Education, each appropriated S3OO
fpr Farm Home Demonstration I
Work in Alamance county. The
State appropriated '#oo for the
same purpose. This made available
f1,200 for the employment of an all
time Farm Home Demonstration
Agent, and eight or ten Local
Agents.
The county has been most fortu
nate in securing Mrs. Cornelia. C.
t Morris of Henderson, N. C., to take
the place of Farm Home Demon
strator. Mrs. Morris has been been
teaching Domestic Science at Car
son and Newman College, Tenn.,
| and at the A. & M. College at Car
rollton, Ga. The authorities at both
places highly commend her work.
Mrs Morris' duties will be of a
three-fold nature. She will have
ch irge of the Canning Club work—
and the Clubs this year will include
women of a'll ages—in the county;
she will have general direction of
all industrial work in the schools;
and she will organize and conduct
classes in Home Economics among
the women of the towns and coun
ty. Communities wishing Mrs.
Morris to establish classes should
make application at once.
Alamance county is one of the
first counties in tha State to em
ploy a Farm Home Demonstrator,
and the FIRST county in the State
to have both a Rural Supervisor,
an 1 a Farm Home Demoifstrator.
List year the county led, not
not only the State, but the entire
South in the amunt of canned
goods produced by Club girls. The
leport just received from the
Washington office shows that 901
Club members in Alamance produc
ed 55,105 gans and jars. The next
county in rank is Etowah County,
Ah., in whloh 136 Club members
pi odttced, 48.555 cans and jars, yhe |
Tomato Club-..Work wis begun in
Alamance three years ago, with j
Miss Margaret Scott at its head.
1 nder Miss Scott's wise guidance
the county took first place in the |
State in 1912. In 1913 Miss Beott I
left the count) to become Assistant!
State Agent. Last year the Club j
trippled its membershin and won
first place for QUANTITY and
Q ALITY.
Another feature of Rural Work
in which Alamance has led has"
been 4n holding of Community
Fairs. The first of these Fairs was
held under t'io direction of Mr. J.
A. Jlornaday at Friendship School
four vears ago. Last fall Hawfields
rnd Spring communities held fairs
that would do credit to any dis
trict. Several other communities

Two years ago no form of indus
trial work was taught in any of the.
schools of the cdunty.
During last year Sewing was
taught in eight of the schools. It
was taught in two-teacher schools.
Girls from the First to the Ninth
Grade were engaged in this work.
The . small children made simple
aprons handkerchiefs and under
' cf' thing The larger girls made
nprons, urderclothes and dresses.
All the sewing was done by hand.
Per',odd of from one to three hours
a week were devoted to the work
Tn the two-teacher schools, one
teacher would take all the boys for
lessons In Agriculture or some easy
handcraft, while the other teacher
'look all the girls for a sewing
! lesson. In tho three and four
teacher schools much the same
plan was carried out. —
! Cooking classes were begun in
two schools last year, but, owing
to the ill health of the
teachers the work was abandoned
in one schol. The remaining class
I —the first and only Domestic Sci
ence class in the county—flour-

1 fact that the classes cooked in the
i music room and oi an oil stove

The patrons of this ditrlct donat

1 chickens, etc., enough to buv cook
ing utensils, materials for the sew

the cooking class free of chsrge.

All this work is very young. Tt
Is only in the beginning', but it is
hoped that in the near future the
gins will graduate from the
Seventh Grade with a working
knowledge of food values, and the
principles of cookery, with a thor
ough training in home sewing ana
simple decoration, and with bo much
respect for household work that
that they dare not do it poorly.
It is hoped that the country boys
will graduate from the Seventh
Grade with the principles of scien
tific farming indellibly imprinted
on their minds. Then will house-,

art and a science, and instead of
being drudgery as so much of this
work is now, it will be a joy.
In America, at least, the home
is the most important of all insti
tutions. From it are the issues of
life. In the little world of the
home children are born and reared
In it they grow to manhood and
womanhood. From it they go forth
into the larger world of society and
State, to establish in turn their own
little world of the home in which
they grow old and die. Their mem
ories linger around the homes of
their childhood; the memories of
them held by later generations are
associated with the nomes of_lheir
manhood and womanhood. In the
home the children receive the most
important part of their education.
In the home must be established
their physical, mentil and moral
health. The experiences of home
constitute the raw material of the
education of the schools. The
character and the teachings, con
scious or unconscious, of the home,
determine in a large measure their
attitude toward all other institu
tions and toward all the relations
of life. From the home parents and
older children go forth to their
daily toil, and to the home they
bring the products or the earnings
of their labor, to be expended,
wisely and prudently, or unwisely
or imprudently, for food, clothing
shelter, and the other necessities
of life. For most people the home
is the beginning and the end of
life. All their activities proceed
from it and return to it. There
fore, of all the arts those pertain
ing to home-making are the most
important, and of all the scienoes
those which find their application
in the home, making us intelligent
about the home and its needs, are
the most significant.
If the scnools are to asssist in
making us intelligent about the life
we live and the work .we do, they
must provide liberally for instruc
tion in these arts and sciences.
Within the last two or three
decades, educators and people gen
erally have become conscious of
this fact, as never before, ana
gradually the schooU are being re
adjusted to meet the new demands.

• THIMBLES.
Some of the Interesting Usea to Which
They Are Pnt.
*
Saturday Globe.
Thimbles are small silver-color
ed ferrules that have had small
pox, writes Strickland W. Gilliam.
Knowing that they would be
jabed a lot anyway the manufact
urers punched a lot of holes half
way through them to begin with.
Any of these wiseism nooks or
works of reference or newspaper
almanacs will tell you how the
word thimble originated.
They will tell you "it was origi
inally worn on the thumb and call
ed a thumb-bell.".
This may be true and it may
not.
It is one of the things it won't
hurt a bit to believe.
The fact is, we believe, that it
comes from the Icelandic word,
thumall, meaning thumb.
It was, in other words, a sort of
false thumb worn to keep the
needle ifrom imparting a jab io
the meat thumb.
Anyway, no matter whence the
word came the thimble is a fact.
It is usually worn on the third or
middle finger or some other finger,
by women folks when they sew.
_lt is used as a means of correc
tion by busy mothers.
■We know of no potent
means of promoting serious consid
eration of reformation on the part
of a small boy than a vigorous
and sincere thump on the bean by
one of these inciters of moral tone
worn on the middle finger of a
husky mother's right hand.
Verilv, as the poet hath not yet
said, "the hand that raps the
noodle rules the world."
In other words thimbles were
meant for alternate contact with
needles and noddles."
Some women do not use thim
bles when they sew, and the end
of their needle punching finger
" ke a P' ece °' spoiled tripe.
Thimblea are also u?ed, we are
led to believe, in filling benedictine
or apricot cordial glasses, whose
contents retail at 25 cents per thim
bleful.
But we have this information sec
ond handed and do not guarantee
The thimble is alpo used linguis
tically to tell how much brains
some people have not who are
popularly supposed not to be
threatened with stoop shoulders by
reason of hte weight thereof.
\Ve know (some people who are
said to have a thimbleful of brains
and we are ashamed of the gross
exaggerators who make the accu
sation.
They so utterly underestimate
the uize of a tlumbel.
..Thinihlerij- is a polite name for
the lightning rod swin lie or the
three shell game.
No one not raised in the rural
districts knows the difference be
tween a thimble-skein and a
linch-pin wagon.
But we rubes do all right.
For the Stomach and liter,
I. N. Stuart, West Webster, N. Y*
writes, "I have used Chamberlain's
Tablets for disorders of the stom
ach and liver off and on for years,
and It affords me pleasure to state
that I have found them to be Just
as roprcsented. They are mild in
their action and their results have
been highly satisfactory. I value
them highly" For sal- by ail

City-Bred Sambo.
' Sambo, who had lived all his life
in a metropolis, got a lob on a
farm. Not knowing that the game
was new to him, Uncle Josh gave
the farm hand a bucket and a 3-
legged stool and told him to milk
the cow. An hour later Sambo re
turned .
"Look heah, boss," he remarked
with a wearied expression, "I guess
I will hab to gib up the Job ob
mllkln' dat cow."
"What's the matter," wonderlngly
asked I'ncle Josh, knowing Bossy
to be kind and gentle. She aint
afeered o' you, is sheT"
"She aint afeered, boss," ans
wered Sambo, almost pathetically,
"but she wont mind. I tried fo
mos' an hour, but I coildnt make
her set down on dat little ■tool."

were serving with the British
crown on November 30, 1914 89,
000 Irishmen who had been in the
army before the war began, or who
had Joined as reservists or recruits,
said John B. Redmond, the Irish
leader of the Nationalist party, at a
meeting at Tuam, Ireland.
If to that were added tens of
thousands of Irish recruits who
were Joining the colors in Great
Britain, or were now in the ranks
of the Canadian, Australian, or New
Zeland contingent, he said it was
safe to say that from IM.OOO to 140,•
OOOwere with the color*.
Mr. Redmond declared- that Mr
0000 of the 89,000 Irishmen in the
home army were Catholica. He
said that 10411 Ulster Volunteers
had gone to the ..colors from Bel
fast, while in the same city, the Na
tionalist volunteers, who represent
ed only a quarter of the popula
tion had contributed MU men.
