' Committee Appointed By North , Carolina Press Association j Decides That the Memory of The~lamented Humorist Shall Be Honored In a Practical Manner The crmimittee appointed at the recent meeting of the North Carolina Press Association to take qptb > mat ter of a State memorial to Bill Nye, met in Salisbury, Wednesday, July 6th, in fotmal session, atui after hearing all the propositions before it" unanimously decided: 1. That the memorial building to the lamented humorist shall take the form of a memorial buildiug, to be one of the group and a part of the Stonewall Jackson Training School, generally known as the State Reformatory, in "-Cabarrus county, near Concord^. 2. That the building, > furnished and equipped as the trustees of the institution may direct, to the best advantage for the rescue of errant . boys, shall cost not less than $5,00(J, and phall be known as the ''Bill Nye Memorial Building." 3." That the following newspapers he-designated, to receive and acknowledge subscriptions to the fund for this building, said funds to be transmitted promptly to the treasurer, John M. Julian, Editor of The Salisbury Poet: The Observer, Charlotte. The Evening Post, Salisbury. The Citi/.eo, Asbevitle. The News and Observer, Raleigh. The News, Greensboro. The Stay, Wilmington. The Uplift, Concord. .4. That while the committee beTieyes that this memorial should be distinctively North Carolina's tribute to thC-lamented man ot letters, it deems it wis&y4n order to ensure the prumpl success of the movement, and further to permit the friends of Bill Nye outside the State an opportunity to contribute to tbis movement, that contributions from outside the State should be gratefully received and acknowledged, while not solicited. The committee believes further that it made a wise and happy selection in the form of'this memorial; that nothing it might have conceived would bnilirJ>rought greater joy to the heart of the gifted, kindly "man whose memory it is designed to perpetuate, than the grqat work of making nseful citizens of wayward boys, and that were jje present with" us in the flesh today it would have the stamp of his approval. Furthermore the committee bespeaks the j hearty co-operation of the brethren j of the press especially, and all good citizens generally in this undertak- ! ing. It is a labor of love?one that1 has already been too long neglected, to the shame of North Carolina.

In eVery well considered system of farming there is a constant return to the soil of the products take from . . I it.
