White returned trom Boston last Saturday and in Lienisburg this week spoke most interestingly of the meeting if tne National Educational Association which was in session July 2nd to 8th. The most noteworthy evente_ c< the week, said Mr. White, were the speeches of President Taft, Govern nor Kitchen and Sapt. J. Y. Joynt* ,. and the electiou of Mrs. Ella Flagg Young as President for the next ..year. On the afternoon of July 4th the association met in the Harvard Stadium. This is an immense, open ahr structure, built of conerete, with the sides rising like the old Roman ampin-theatre, and in outline some.v s ?m * t~ ? > 1 tning 11*0 a norsesnoe. it was estimated that there were '26,000 present when Mr. Xaft began to speak. The President read his speech, a oarefully prepared defense ot the Philippine policy. The people listened with great respect, but no great enthusiasm. * The oontrast between thw and, ^\^he reception accorded Governor " Kftehen was very notioeable. At the closfc-of President Taft's speech | be left in order to get back to his home at Beverly ^efore night and many of the curiosity seekers began to leave also. But after Go>s-Kitclifn, who followed, had spoken five minutes it was apparent that r -^A th> vast crowd had settled down contentedly and ia evident enjoyment. ' be Governor spoke in true North Carolina style, wltkput manu script or notes. He looked mtghty good-to all of us, Tar Heels as he stood there, dear ont in fe^iaswd and ia words, speaking of down home things and down home fotks with an affectionate earnestness that compelled admiration. And beat ef all, he talked to them jost at he would talk here at home,'speaking out jnstras elearly tbe things we folks here believe in sod love. The srowd liked it toe for they f|;- ' t ' ' :Mr . " - KAN lNAGER laughed heartily over tbe funny ti things, were responsive to every fi sentiment and cheered him to tbe t eohb. Tuesday night President Joyner c delivered the annual address in Fre- n mont Temple, This was a distinct t addition to the great events of the p meeting. It is bound to add much s to tho alroady wide repmation?nf-l-a Mr. Joyner. 1 wish the people of t North Carolina would, every one of n them, read ibis speech, and I hope s some bf onr papers will publish it in i full, for it is an able, scholarly ^dis- i cession of certain educational mat- a ters ef great importance. \ The election of Mrs. Young over r Jlr. Snyder was not as much of a surprise as the papers would make t it. Nor do I attach asy importance to the obarge of improper use c^f ' money. It was simply a case where i the women had tho votes and used e them. Two-tbirds bf the teachers in i attendance were women and for | mco they stood together. I Mrs. Young is an able, energetic ' woman. As Superintendent of Clii- ' cago schools she receives the largest ( salary paid any superintendent in , the United States, 410,000 a year. She has demonstrated her ability as ' a teacher and I see no reason j for astonishment that she should be j nunureu vy ine association. There wer< some two hundred North Carolinians present, alrnoat all of them good looking. lt was generally remarked that in view^of the diatance, North Carolina was oett?r represented than any other, State. * None of ns made any secret of the faot that this good showing was largely due to our affection for Superintendent .Toyner. By the way, it seems that Franklm oounty had the largest deleganou of any county in. the State. There were nino of us present and so far as I could learn seven was the highest number from any other county. All ot ns wore North Carolina badges and were prond to do so. After the first two aays, it became a frequent thing to be stopped by someone frfrm another State who I'otiaing the North Carolina badges could not resist saying something nice abont Gov. Kitchins speech, President Joyner and the. fine showing onr State wks making. In any converaalibn with people from the north'or west, two things always happened. There would bt a complimentary reference to North Carolina and then there would be a lot of questions about the m>gro. The attitude toward this latter question was especially interesting to me. It seems that these folks had abandoned all their old time ideas and aeknowledging that after all thay did not knrny anything about it, really wanted to tiad out and pre: ferred finding oat from a southern man. In some I found more of prejudice than I have ever knows heret, and in all 1 found a sympathetic appreciation. - ^ In ahd around Boston are numberless places of historical interest. Lis impressed with the otrsful thoroughness with which they preserve I everything that has any tneterical importance from a horseshoe up to a house. Tablets mark every spot and statues commemorate every person. I have sometimes been irritated over the space usually given in his- , -tmry to Boston. I can at least un-" 1 derStand it now. Every little town ' is willin^HQ appropriate money to- 1 wards keeping intact historieal , things and places.\. Out at Marblehead Tk^apent an enjoyable hour going , thro&nb the ^old Lee Mansion, built in 1 , Tbivhouse is now owned by the His- | toxical Society of Marblehead and in it are stored a great many things of , quajnt interest.

PRID/ listorical importance, but nobody isa even tried to capitalize this inereef^. Speaking of the Lee mansion, I onld but snule to myself over . the aagmHcent New England i^ponsisency with which they showed in one ilace mementoes of the war against lavery instigated by New England nd then-with?equal pride showed he old qui rters on one side of the naneion where Col. Lee kept his laves and told with gusto how he raa quite a big ship ownei, and vhen one of his ships come in with i cargo of slaves from 4 Africa, he vould pick out any one hue sneoineu for his owu personal service. It s a ouriouB world after all isn't t? ... All in all it was a great meeting. ?iyi_li08ton folks were mighty nice ind showed a hospitality almost louthern. I am sure every teacher sho attended was benefitted and, if possible, I am a.littJe hit more sure that every North Carolinian who was there came back a little bit prouder of the Old North State than ?ver before, a little bit surer of our ability to stand up with the others ind be compared, and a little bit more anxious to do something that will help to bnild up the weak places and with no shadow of shame lor our past or our present. Base Ball. The Louisbnrg Amateur ball team returned home on last Friday night ifler a trip to Smithfield. They tried to get another series of games to finish the week hut for some reavirvjhe teams thev consulted had lialinnftwl Tl?c cn??? ^ ? 1? l - XUG DUUIO 111.

The game that was to have been blared here Tuesday between the ooal team and Youngsvilie v^aa tailed off on account of the Youngsdlle team being unable to come. On Wednesday the Kittrell team same over and between the ehowers srossed bats with the LoaiBbnre boys, the game only lasted four inlings before it was broken up by rain. At the end of the fourth inning however, the score stood 6 and ) in favor of Louisburg. There was lothing of especial interest about the game, as it was easily seen , there was no match in the skill of ball play iff. The Western Bloomer Girls arrived Wednesday night from Spring Hope where they played a game of sail that afternoon, and oiTThursday 'resented themselves on the (Tf&mood here in great'style. ?? The game resulted in a score of i to 0 in favor of Louisburg, although the girls'played an exceptionally good game?they having blayed an errorless game througblut. The pitching of Mies Kroll, [Maude Nelson) and the bunting of balls by the girls were the most in:eresttrg features of the game. The ittendance was the largest of the lesson, being about 1200, and everybody seemed to enjoy the game. The batteries were, The Western Bloomer GuIs, Miss Kroll and McLon; Louisburg, Daniel, Stone and Taylor, Turner. Summary?hits on Louisburg d. in the Girls 11.

' > The City Water, As the request of the editor I make the following statement about our town water. This analysis was made after there had been a' thorough washing out and flushing of ^very thing in eonaeotion with the water and works. There were no .Collon Bacilli in the water. The above are the ones that 'produce sickness sueh as typhoid fever and all bowel troubles There were a number of Bacteria in the water, but are harmless. The whole human family have* thousands of these Bacteria passing through them every day but the .Alkalenily of salt in the blood of a hearty person prevents them from doing any harm. As seen aboye there being no Colon Bocilli this water is the healthiest we can drina. There is no pollution at alt about the it is aafnr than anv well or amino ahniifc here. ?Respectfully J. E.

Raise Cowpea Hay For The Milk CowsIt is my firm conviction that it would be cheaper to pay $25.00 a ton tor cowpea hay than to pay $0 per ton for cottonseed hulls tor milk production. When the farmer has cowpea hay, the best way to supplement this would be to feed a ration consisting 01 one-tnird cottonseed meal, one-tbird oorn raeal and onelliird wheat bran, feeding this grain in tbe proportion of one pound of grajn to about four or five pounds of milk. In case the ronghage consists , of corn Btover, corn fodder or other ' punier classes of roughage,?grain?~ - ?: | should be fed at the rate of about ! one pound to three pounds of milk, ?John Michels, in Raleigh, (N.
