TRAMWAY ITEMS. Jonesboro, Rt. 4, June 25. —Attor- ney F. J. McDuffie and father, D. A. McDuffie, of Creedmore, spent the week-end with relatives and friends in this sectionv. They returned home Monday, accompanied by Mrs. D. A. McDuffie, who spent the past three weeks with relatives in Lee county. Mr. John Ira Paul, of Roberson county, is spending sime time with relatives in Tramway. Misses Alma Willett and Sankie Poe visited at the home of their uncle, Mr. John Willett, at Lemon Springs. Miss Corina Brantley was the din ner guest Sunday of Misses Zora and Alma Coley. The crops in this section are look ing fine considering the dry weather, although the boll weevils are about to eat up the cotton. H. W. Coley gave his weevils some poison and they seem to like it but they only live a few minutes after they eat it. Mrs. Abraham Paul is the oldest person in this neighborhood. She was 91 years old April 10. She is now in her usual good health and able to attend church and visit her neighbors. Mrs. H. D. Coggins and daughter, Ernestine, spent the last two weeks with relatives in Apex. Mr. Coggins went to Apex Saturday and accompa nied them home Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. Daniel McDuffie and Miss Nora and Marshel McDuffie, of Cumnock, attended preaching at Graces chapel Sunday. Miss Florence Coggins visited friends on this route recently. PROHIBITION HERE TO STAY. “An irresistable force for prohibi tion,” is the apt description given by the Christian Science Monitor to the efforts of the women of Pennsylva nia to raise $250,000 for law enforce ment in the Keystone State after the ! Legislature had tried to block Gover nor Pinchot by refusing to make an appropriation for that purpose. Sunday, July 1, has been set apart as the day for taking up collections for this fund, and the following ap peal has been sent out: To Pennsylvania, the Keystone State of the Nation, the home of the Lib erty Bell and the birthplace of the constitution, we hereby proclaim that the traditions of loyalty to the nation al Constitution, upheld by the patriots of our State on the fields of Valley Forge and Gettysburg, shall be main tained by our loyal citizens and to this end we call to the active co-opera tion all temperance, prohibition, re ligious and philanthropic bodies, all patriotic, fraternal, civic organizations and all Pennsylvanians who love their State, to make good the $250,000 for law enforcement, refused to our gov* ernor by our State Legislature. On the same day that this action was taken in Pennsylvania, there was formed in New York State a National Committee of One Hundred for Law Enforcement, which is the beginning of a national movement among the women to secure the passage of a law enforcement measure in the Empire State. The Christian Science Monitor right ly says that upon the temperance is sue womankind are as nearly united as it is within the nature of human masses to be, and the party or the politician that antagonizes this force will be relegated to obscurity. This is not the only reason for be lieving that prohibition is here to stay but it is sufficient to make clear the hopelessness of the task of those who seek to bring liquor back.

The first few men to dream of a college, best fitted to serve and farth est reaching in its influence, with one accord decided upon Maxton as the ideal location. It is the center of two railroad systems, thus bringing thou sands of homes in close touch with the institution. More important still, in President Green’s own words, “It is a clean little town, one whose at mosphere is best adapted to the un folding of the beautiful flower of wo manhood. Maxton is the typical col lege town and only one who lacks vi sion, or else is determined not to see the truth could fail to admit that 1 fact.” In 1907 the first meeting of the board of trustees was held to discuss ways and means for establishing a col lege in Maxton. A search of the files of the Scottish Chief reveals the dif ficulties met and overcome during the years by the generous citizens. The yar 1910 finds the building almost completed. The Wall street panic had delayed the construction somewhat; but the people of Maxton refused to relinquish the proposition, and at a splendid rally the necessary funds for the completion were raised. The Junior College has, and will continue to have, a distinct and im portant place in the field of education because it opens opportunities afford ed by neither the high school nor the college. It merges the fields of these two well-established institutions into one in such a manner as to give its students the best qualities of both. There is a serious gap between the training in the ordinary high school and the large college. The teaching class, the methods of instruction, the standard of grading, is all different. The Junior college bridges this gap easily and naturally. To those who wish to teach or enter other fields of endeavor, they are fully prepared to do so by the Junior College. Leading educators throughout the country are urging the establishment of Junior Colleges, and heartily sup riorf’ t.boir wnrV pun Li i wuxn,. It is a necessity for these reasons: | It is the salvation of those yho have ! ( lost out by the mass teaching of the : graded school. It is the logical place for the grad ; uate of the non-credited high school. It is the best place for those who hope for only two years of college life and who want to teach. It is the safe place for the young girl just finished high school at the j most critical age in her life, for here ’ she has that close, careful supervision that can be given only in the smaller college. It is the most economical place, for here they can get the first two years of college at one-half the cost. Every human being with any de gree of intelligence admits that the destiny of our race lies most largely , | in the hands of our young woman hood. The girl of today is the mother , and teacher of tomorrow. Yes, she is the teacher, whether she has training or not. Back of every woman of to day there are the impulses, the hopes, the aims that have been shaped into power. She now is the fulfillment of God’s great plan or (God forbid) the hindrance of it. We have near us a sister college that s sending out an army of won- | derful women who show what mental and spiritual training mean to a girl of normal impulses. It makes for a type of citizenship excelled nowhere in the nation. Yet, the field is white to the harvest; there are thousands more untaught and yearning for col lege training. Shall it be laid at our door that we did not give them a chance ? Your college and mine and ours for life. For eternity its influence will go on. The ideals imbibed from the teaching there will be passed on to future generations and our college must have a chance. Our slogan is “A new dormitory finished by next fall.” Hard times, you say? Do you cry hard times in the face of a hun- ‘ gry child? And yet your Master says “Is not the spirit more than meat?” Would you smother yearning souls struggling for their God-given right. Now what is to be your part. “My” part in the great work? o- If It Could Be Done. It is not the man who can lurn off nut lire’s tap who is wanted, but the man who can turn it on. Too much !*a»n is preferable to too little or none .it all. An Invention for producing rain when and where required would mean fabulous wealth to the world. It would create new empires in the Sahara and the vast salt wastes of western America, and it would make the center of Australia as fertile as Tasmania. Healthier Children; Better Grownups 'T'HE story of efforts to make a na tion of better grownups by perfect ing the health of its clrfhiren and mak ing them happier was told at the an nual convention of the American Child Hygiene association by Harry Hoover, its retiring president. It is the hope, Mr. Hoover said, that eventually “ten policemen may be replaced by one community nurse.” At the same time, Mr. Hoover an nounced virtually a completion of ar rangements consolidating the two great voluntary societies engaged in the work —the child hygiene association and the child health organization of America. He also informed the con vention of a plan by which a complete demonstration in every avenue of pro tection of child health is to be had through the munificence of the Com monwealth foundation which has guar anteed, for a term of years, funds ag gregating $230,000 yearly for the work. The merger of the two great health societies was declared by Dr. L. Em mett Holt, president of the child health organization, to be an event of sig nificance and importance. He predict i Ptgbti and a greater Opportunity for BIRD GOLF. Most people, young and old, like to play games. There is all the difference in the world between playing a sporty game with birds instead of golf balls for pawns—a set of three persons follow ing certain rules—and the old fash ioned way of going on a “hunt” of identification, as is still the practice, with a “gang” at one’s heels all talk ing at once. In the one case there is real sport ahead, for good players; in the other, except for the leaders perhaps, nothing but lazy exercise. Birds shy at sight of a crowd. To stimulate bird study in the South the game of Bird Golf was invented. It orginated with the Sand Hills Bird Club, Pine Bluff, N. C., next door to Pinehurst, the great golf center. “We have with us” in winter, 85 birds—6o males, and 25 females —that we distinguish from their mates. We play a “sight” game as the birds are not in song from November until March. A bird scout and two players constitute a set. A bird scout of the first class knows 75 birds by sight. We “hunt” and play Bird Golf on certain days each week at an agreed upon hour. Beginners hunt, experts play, the game. All who wish to hunt or play are given an even chance under competent scouts. No beginner is expected to play in a game who does not know by snapshot sight, in the field, at least 25 birds. Otherwise the game would drag. Two weeks’ study of an hour a day and four “hunts” will usually qualify a begin ner for the game. Most people know 25 birds, in their mind’s eye. It costs nothing for them to say so, but it costs a little study and effort to prove it in the field. When sets are made up of a scout of the first class and two players who know 50 birds each, and a game is started with half a dozen sets in the field, there is something doing in the way of excitement and real sport. A scout acts as timekeeper for his set, and one of the players writes down the birds scored. A score card that folds for us in the field is carried in the left hand. Nine links of 10 or 15 minutes duration each, constitute a game. Male birds count one and fe male birds count three. Birds iden tified count but once in a game. The hunting instinct is a great fac tor in winning any game. For instance, scouts equally well qualified as to the number of birds they know, take out sets. They play the short game or 9 hole course of one hour and thirty minutes. The final score for three sets is, 24, 22 and 12. Know ing where to hunt, how to hunt and hunter’s luck are all expressed in these figures. A bird scout who allows his players to wave their arms, scream or shout, to dance or hustle from excitement, who does not keep his players bunch ed—since only birds seen by two play ers in any set count—never wins a game. * Birds are wild things, they fly on motion. Their eyesight is sixteen I times stronger than a man’s. They do not wait to have their pictures taken. A good way* to hunt birds or bears, is, to sit down on a moss cushioned stump and keep still. Wear neutral colors. The game of Bird Golf can be play ed anywhere and at any season of the year. Good bird glasses are neces sary to the sport. When a bird is sighted, a glass that will bring it 1 down, colors and all, is essential to ! one’s peace of mind and the proper use of the English language. JOHN WARREN ACHORN, President Sand Hills Bird Club. 1 London.—Britishers have given up hope of having any summer this year. Mid-June finds the whole of England experiencing intermitent frost, rain storms, biting winds and disa *eeable 1 fogs. The almost complete absence of sunshine has blighted many crops and the farmers are in despair. The present month is described as the 1 coldest June within memory. Mer chants, dressmakers and milliners who laid in large stocks of light summer i goods are facing bankruptcy. 1 First Death Among Pilgrims. ! The first death among the Pilgrims j after their arrival on the coast of , America was that of Mrs. William Bradford, wife of the later governor ] of the Plymouth colony. Before a; j site had been selected for a settle ment and while the Mayflower was yet riding at anchor in Cape Cod hay, Mrs. Bradford fell into the sea and was drowned. Imagination and Memory.

To the new and stronger agency, j Doctor Holt said, both professional and public groups interested in the work would look for help and expert guidance in matters relating to the health and physical development of children. Regarding the demonstrations to be ! had under the assurance of funds by the Commonwealth foundation, Mr. Hoover said that three cities would be selected for the work. One will be in the Far West, one in the Middle West and the other in the South, the secre tary said. The plan would be in line j flip coclcf/b purpose, i CATS, DOGS AND RELATIVES. Statesville Sentinel. Relatives of a wealthy, elderly wo- 1 man, who died not long since in one ; of the large cities, are contesting her • will, alleging that she was heartily . devoted to her cats and other dumb . animals and thought least of all of \ ■ her kith and kin. She bequeathed a j large sum to found a home for domes- ' ! tic pets and distributed her personal . belongings among relatives andj | friends. 5 Age is wilful and crabbed, and its whimsicalities are as eccentric, bleak i and disquieting as the frosty moods t of winter. The snowy-haired madam doubtless had most of those strange \ characteristics of palsied, creaking } bones, and dumb, disordered brain which youth and middle years detest, j The frost of senility was phrased in - cutting terms in allusions to some of i the legatees. “So and so is to have my diction- j j ary; he will find it a grand educa ; tion. None of my previous gifts ; have pleased Cousin Dissatisfied, and he is to have the following. If any t beneficiary is dissatisfied, I ask what j are you leaving me in your will ? Only , a trifle to one of refinement gives - pleasure and awakens gratitude.” j We do nos hold any brief for dogs ' and cats. They manage to eat and , sleep and take care of themselves, and L our observation is that they are hap , pier in freedom than in slavery. Nei • ther do we hold any brief for rela . tives, though we are not sure that we would prefer cats and dogs to them. There is a great similarity between dumb animals and relatives. Both seem to want something most of the time, but with the difference that the animals, being dumb, cannot impor tune, while relatives, having positive opinions and wagging tongues, do not refrain from declaring their rights. The issue involved in this litigation is none of our affair. Dogs and cats are all right in their place. Human beings are entitled to kindly consid eration. Let the judge find the ver dict Speaking of relatives as a human sneezes, we must confess that we do rot have a very flattering opinion of them. In trouble they are generally ready with fault-finding and advice, rather than assistance, and their man ner is usually ill-mannered and of fensive. In prosperity they -appear to be openly fulsome and secretly ma lign, due to their sense of property rights. MONCURE NEWS. Moncure, July 2. —Mr. J. L.
