MEMORIES OP CHAPEL HILL (Charlotte Observer.) ' Mr. W. N. Everett of Rockingham writes The Observer as follows: ' "On October 12, the alumni of the University had a meeting in Rocking ham, to which were invited alumnae and alumni of other North Carolina institutions. The object of that meet ing was to get the college men and women in Richmond County to work together with a view of backing up the moonlight schools in the coun ty. Nine-tenths of the teachers have volunteered for this service, and it occurred to me that some help should be given them in boosting their work and in assisting them in getting the adult illiterates to attend these schools. "On this occasion, Mrs. Lucy Phil lips Russell delivered a short address on "Monorios of Chapel HiH." In its etyle and matter it seemed to appeal to each one of the persons present; and I hand .you herewith a copy, f eel 5nc that the people of the State would be l&d to read it "W. N. BVERETT." Mrs. Russell's article follows: MEMORIES OP CHAPEL HILL To ask me to give you a few per sonal reminiscence of my kinsmen who have given the love and labor of their lives to the University, is to com the flood gates. For when woman confesses to be able to recall the events of half a century and has an acqtiaintance at the University reaching from President Swain to President Graham, .70U may find yourselves in the condition of the little boy who removed just one sand bag from the Mississippi levee he was soon swept away by the current. To me, the very name of Chapel Hill brings "thoughts that lie too deep for .tears," visions of faces long vanished, the clear calling of many a voice now silent 'and tender recol lections of the thousand little things that make the happiness of youth. think the Uret fiiisg I remember clearly about my father, Dr. Chart Phillips, was lying close in hid arms listening enchanted in the deep boom of his voice as he sang to me a quaint TOelsh folk-song -"Good Morning Neighbor Jones," learned in his child- 'hood from his Cornish father. The door opened and Governor Swain walked in, his gamut figure bowed, his sad rugged face nore deeply over shadowed than usual, to tell my fath er of the death of my grandfather, !Dr. James Phillips, which had Just occurred while ho was hoWiag morn ing prayers in Hie college chapel He had fallen deati just as he was re- turning the greeting of a favorite pupil, Eugene Morehead. The next ;day I was carried through a bleak March snow storm in my aunt's arms to gaze for the last time on the noble 'faee of the silverfliaired old Eng lishman, whom his pupils found an exacting teacbter, but whom his grandchildren loved as a fascinating playfellow. I see him yet as he lay his favorite grey cat, "Di Vernon; at his feet, on a couch in his study. "Dead among his books, The peace of God in all his looks. In a little more than a year President Swain had followed hh? friend into the Silent Land, having been killed in a runaway accident while out driving with Professor Fet ter, their horse being a spirited ani mal given to Mr. Fitter by General Sherman. The two years following ray grand father's death were lull of confusion. distress and anxious Sfamily councils old friends like the Martins, Hep fburns, Fetters, Smith, Mitchells and .Ashes were saying good-bye with sad faces and troubled eyes and disap pearing down the red road to Dur ham: old servants wew leaving; old homes changing tenants; the walls of a child's house of life were falling in to ruins the University lay a-dying. My father found a position and most "happy home as 3ead of the mathemat ics department at Davidson College and remained 'there until 4he reopen ing of the University in 1875. Part of those years I .epent back in Chapel Bill in tte home of my father's sis ter, Mrs. C. P. Spencer. Some one has defined "a college" as: A log of wood Mark Hopkins at one end and a pupil at the other." The same words were true to Mrs. Spencer and the group of young girts under her tui tion durimr the years when the "abomination of desolation" Bat en throned at the University wera priv ileged beyond their own comprehen sion. Goldsmith has drawn a viwd pk ture of Chapel Hill during the years between 1868-1875: "Sweet smiling village, loveliest of the lawn, Thy sports are fled and all the charms withdrawn Amidst thy bowers the tyrant's hand is seen And desolation ' saddens nil tfty green." Not one of the old faculty re - ma'ned, and only those of the village families who were too poor to get away. Many houses stood vacant; some were occupied by the "carpet j bag" faculty gathered together dur ing "Reconstruction Days" and pre sided over by Rev. Solomon Pool. In my grandfather's home lived a man named Marting, head of the English department. In Doctor Hooper's old home, where Doctor Bain has re cently died, dwelt Fiske P. Brewer, head of the Greek department and brother to Justice Brewer of the United States Supremo Court. Both these families practiced social equal ity with the village negroes. June Spencer and I used to crouch behind the high, gray stone walls and watch the tea parties with horrified eyes and see with scorr unspeakable the pretty Mailing girls ga'ly -irting with negro youths in homes where Rulfin and Graham, Pettigrew and Polk, Ransom and Vance had been glad to be honored guests. The lovely campus was a tangled wilderness; the scientific instruments were bro ken inc destroyed; pictures were torn from the costly illustrated books on the library tables and used to adorn the walls . of negro cabins about .the town; the buildings became the' home of 'spiders and bats, with shattered windows that stared like the eyes f the dead. As I was witness to the deepest degradation of our beloved Univer sity, go I was present at the joyous reopening in the fall of 1875 and wove with my awn hands the letter, "Laus Deo," that shone above the head of the presiding officer, Govern or Curtis H. Brogden, and soon knew at least by sight, every one of the 60 boys Whose fathers had sent them to bear witness to their faith " in the resurrected University. With these memories of a dying, dead, and re vived University comes a smiling vis ion of a morning last April when our boyish new President was inaugurated with .pomp and circumstances and the ound of trumpet and drum when great men, the k anted and wise of our country, gathered to claim "Ed Grriham" as comrade and brother and one thousand youths went marching by whore that feeble band of 36 had stood 40 years ago. My dear old mother lay on Iter couch to survey her kinsmen, gor geous in academic array a son and grandsow, a nephew, grand .nephews, and great-grand nephews, among them two college presidents, throe authors, a minister of the Gospel, physician, scientists and successful business men, all good men ami true and all looking a little foolish in their man-millinery of purple, and crimson blue, yellow , and scarlet. t As they, passed before her, the aged lace eparfcled like a girl's as she exclaim ed: "Now, who has done more for the Univeasity than this old wmnan ? Many women have done much for the University. At the reopening, young girls all over the State .gave time and talents in entertainments to replace the scientific instruments broken and out-of-date. Lonely homely women, whom men derided .as "old maids" have left her their pat irimony that the sons of happier wo men might be better housed. Child less women, sitting by silent hearths have bequeathed to her their all. know one place within sound .of the college bell where lie the graves of four young girls whose broken-heart ed parents gave their inheritance to the University. Most of us have given, and women yet unborn will give to the University treasures beyond price, more valuable .than houses or land, costlier than 'tall the wealth of Ormus or of Ind," dear- er than father or mother, more pre cious than life treasures bought with ihe price of a mother's love our son CENTRAIL FALLS SCHOOL HONOR ROLL Intermediate grades.

Stedman will preach at Salem Wednesday night ALL OPEN AIR SCHOOLS NEED ED. Growing Necessity for Undeveloped School Children. "Open air schools have come to be real necessity," said a member of the State Educational Department yesterday. "Only recently," said he, there have come to our attention a number of' instances of real need for such a combination of health improve ment and school work as the open air schools are especially designed and are able to give. These cases, for the most part, are children who are not up to normal in health and who yet in sist on getting an education. They have bright minds and in a number of instances lead their classes as long as they are physically able, but in a few months they grow thin and prJe, lose weight, become nervous and have to be kept at home. "Then there are the cripples, those with curvature of the spine, with lame feet, or some other defect, it seems that they too should be included. Sunshine and fresh air are so good for so many things that it seems such a pity to not let all the tots have it that need it. And you would be sur prised," he declared, "how many that would be. In looking over a school room of boys and girls, I've wanted to pick out as many as a dozen and give them such treatment rest, study, play, nourishment, all in the fresh air and under the care of some good teacher-doctor, and see how they grow, how rapidly they begin to take on glowing faces, increase in weight and meanwhile do better school work than they have ever done before." In conclusion, this man with the fresh air ideals said rather hopefully: "It is only a matter of time when we will have open air schools for our tubercular school children. We are up against that problem now, and it seems to me that there's no other way to solve it than to have a school where children suffering from tuberculosis can go, take the cure and in the meantime improve their minds. In reality it would be nothing short of a sanatorium with the schol feature added and that is just what they need and what we want and must have." TWENTIETH CENTURY COURAGE (Frederick Palmer, in Collier's Weekly All the rules have gone smash in the war. There's c.n old one in the British Army that you ought to be gin to look to retreat when 10 per cent, of the men are down. In ours it is 15. In all the armies it is either 10 or 15. British regiments have stuck when 60 per cent, were out German and French regiments Have continued -charging when only a hand ful were trtiH alive or unwounded. Men hove never fought so bravely as ia thiB war. The idea that humanity was getting soft was the most ridicu lous piffle that ever emanated from a "knocker" of the good old human race. In the old time you fought for a few hours and the battle was over. If you were uncertain of your cour age, you took a drink before you charged. Now you fight day after day; you face the enemy in appre hension that any moment a shell may bury you alive or eviscreate you, Hand grenades are tossed back and forth like boquets. It's a war of nerves, and in this age of nerves the highly civilized and organized man i3 standing what would utterly demor alize a savage. TYPHOID FEVER CONTROLLED Three years ago the field men of the Geological Survey, . as well as some of the office force, took advan tage of the offer of the War Depart ment to supply official anti-typhoid serum, and practicrJly the entire force of men was inoculated. Since that time, as far as reported, there has been no serious case of typhoid fever among those inoculated. Two cases of typhoid among the topographic engineers indicate the great effective ness of this inoculation. In both these cases the men simply felt "off fed, for a couple or three days and refused to go on the sick list; in fact typhoid would not have been suspect ed in either cas-s except that in one of them somebody suggested the pos sibility, and an exhaustive hospital ex amination, blood-test, ' etc., showed that the engineer had a theoretically well-developed case of typhoid, the practical results of which, however, failed to incapacitate him for dutyj so that he did not even go to bed for one day. How To Prevent Croup. It may be a surprise to you to learn that in many cases croup can be pre vented. Mrs. H. M. Johns, Elida, Ohio, relates her experence as fol lows: "My little boy is subject to croup. During the past winter I kept a bottle of Chamberlain's Couth Rem- kedy in the house, and when he began having that croupy cough 1 would give him one or two doses of it and it would break the attack. I like it better for children than any other cough medicine because children take it willingly, and it is safe and relia ble." Sol by a druggist. THE SYCAMORE AS A SHADE TREE. It has been found by the prize con test held by the American Genetic As sociation that the Eastern sycamore is the largest shade tree in the Uni ted States. A sycamore at Worth ington, Ind., won the prize. The tree was found to be 43 ft. 3 in. in cir cumference and 150 ft. tall. For this reason foresters are now recommend ing this species for city shade trees. At ten years of age the average is largo enough for shade, as well as be ing considered one of tho most pic turesque trees native to our country. PARKER, N. C, MAN GETS QUICK RELIEF W, R. Davenport Better After Firsi Dose of Remedy. W. R. Davenport, of Parker, N. C, lonir suffered from a peculiar malady of the stomach. He sought treatment with but little relief. At times it seemed that he would have to give up hope. He took Mayr's Wonderful RemeJy and found immediate benefit. He wrote: "For years I have suffered from a disease, which, puzzled doctors. They termed it catarrh of the stomach say ing the only hope would be a change of climate, and that in all probabili ty I would never are well. Then I heard of your remedy. One bottle gave me instant relief. It made me feel like a new man. Your full course of treatments has about cured me. Several of my friends have also been cured." Mayr's Wonderful Remedy gives nermanent results for stomach, liver and intestinal ailments. Eat as much and whatever vou like. No more dis tress after eating, pressure of gas in the stomach and around the heart. Get one bottle of your druRjrist now and try it on an absolute guarantee if not satisfactory money win oe re turned. SOME EXPERIMENTS IN THE FEEDING OF ANIMAL PROTEIN, In the exepriments conducted it was found that ducks are much easier raised than chickens. They have a low mortality when properly taken care of and when the -parent stock is of good vitality. The buttermilk cheese (cottage cheese made from buttermilk) fed in the exeperiments contained 24 per cent of protein. The. meat scraposed in the tests to give the animal protein was "Rarva which is labeled 85 per cent protein It was found that three-quarters of a pound of buttermilk cheese could be made from one gal km of buttermilk, One pound faom five quarts and three pounds of the cheese was worth one pound of the meat scrap. If the meat meal or scrap was of low grade, carry ing only half of the amount of pro tein, then one-half of the amount of buttermilk would represent one pound of meat meal. In calculating the rations, this ratio should give practically equal results so far as the protein content from am mal origin is concerned. If three pounds of buttermilk cheese ic worth one pound of merit meal from a protein standpoint, then iifteen quarts of buttermilk will take the place of one pound of meat meal FACTS ABOUT AUTOMOBILES, (From the News and Observer.) "There were 16,410 automobiles North Carolina, as shown by tho fig ures of the Secretary of State, for the year ending with last june;ar one for every 28 dwellings in the State," says Prof. E. C. Branson of the State Uni versity. "Our mills and factories in 1900 used 378,556 horsepower for produc tive purposes. Our automobiles last year used around 410,000 horse power, mainly mut not entirely tor recreative purposes. "In 1914 we had nearly $9,000,000 invested in automobiles, and only $9, 078,000 invested in public school property. "Not counting chauffeur salaries and garage rents, our annual bill for the upkeep of motor cars was $3, 726,000; while the money we paid our public school teachers and superin tendents was only $3,428,000. It costs more to run our automobiles than it does to run our schools. "What we spent for automobile tires alone was 11,575,000. What we invested In school buildings and sup plies last year was only $1,412,000. "As a matter of fact we r.re not quite so poor as we feel in North Caro lina in assessment years." CARING FOR FARM IMPLEMENTS IN WINTER. When the farmer is through with his implements for the season he should not only put them away in a dry place, but he should see that they are properly cleaned beforehand.. All parts that arc needed to be kept bright shold be rubbed over with a good non salt oil or grease. Axle grease is good. It is almost as injurious to let them stand all winter with loose nuts and bolts as exposure to the weather. He should go over all machinery with a wrench and tighten bolts carcfuly. This will take a little time but will pay better than buying new farm imple ments in tho spring. DR. J. G. CRUTCHFIELD, . DENTIST. Office over Bank 0' Randolph Phone 28 Asheboro, N. C. Wot. C.
