Entered according to postal regula

DUNN, Harnett County, N. C.
DUNN.N. C., July 17, 1901.
Hon. D. H. McLean, Now Secre
tary and Treasurer of the
N. C. Railroad.
Mr. Dan Hugh McLean, new
ly elected secretary and treas
urer of the North Carolina rail
road, is a native of Harnett
county, (he was born in 1847)
and is the leader of the bar in
his county. He was elector for the
State-at-large for Bryan and
Stevenson in 1900 and iiis elo
quent speeches made him a rep
utation from one end of the
State to the other. He had
previously served in the Legis
lature of 1577 and 1899, and
has been a leader of the Demo
cratic party in the Third dis
trict for many years. He en
listed in June 1861, in compa
ny H. Fifteenth North Caroli
na Infantry, and was probably
the youngest soldier of the Con
federacy. He served with con
spicuous gallantry and bravery.
Mr. McLean is one of the most
eloquent men in the State and
has a host of friends who re
joice at his election as secretary
and treasurer. He is a Presby
terian.—News and Observer,
14th.
The countless friends of Hon.
D. H. McLean will learn with
pleasure of his appointment to
the office of secretary and treas
urer of the North Carolina Rail
road Co.
No appointment which the
Governor has made has been
more worthily bestowed or will
meet with more general appro
bation by the people of /he
State. Mr. McLean's services
to the State and the Democrat
ic party have been arduous,
and efficient, extending through
a long period from his early
manhood to the present day,
and his friends will be glad to
know that he has been thus
honored.
The Farmer's Creed.
Farmers ought to adopt a
creed and as a declaration of
belief or faith they would do
well to consider the following,
which is said to have been fur
nished by Henry Ward Beech
er when- he was editing the In
diana Farmer sixty years ago:
"We believe in small farms
and thorough cultivation."
"We believe the soil loves to
eat as well as its owner, and
ought therefore to be liberally
fed.
"We believe in going to the
bottom of things and therefore
in deep plowing and enough of
it. All the better with a sub
soil plow.
"We believe that every farm
should own a good farmer.
"We believe that the best fer
tilizer for any soil is a spirit of
industry, enterprise and intelli
gence. Without this, lime and
gypsum, bones and green ma
nure, marl and guano will be of
little use.
"We believe in good fences,
good barns, good farm houses,
good stock, good orchards, and
children enough to gather the
fruit.
"We believe in a clean kitch
en a neat wife in it, a spinning
wheel, a clean cupboard, a clean
dairy and a clean conscience.
"We firmly disbelieve in far
mers that will not improve, in
farms that grow poorer every
year ; in carving cattle ; in far
mers turning into clerks and
merchants ; in farmer's daugh
ters unwilling to work, and in
all farmers ashamed of their
vocation, or drink whiskey un
til honest men are ashamed of
them.
We have heard of a young
gentleman of Lenoir who sent
his girl a box of the finest can
dy to be obtained in Lenoir.
The same evening he called
with the negro "orchestra" to
give her a serenade. The "hand
out" consisted of this same box
of candy, which put the young
man in quite an embarrassing
state of mind. Of course the
treat was appreciated.—Lenoir

Public Schoo! Dots.
The county board of educa
tion, which by an .act of the
Legislature takes the place of
the board of school directors,
, met on Monday July Bth and
organized, by electing Prof. J.
D. Ezzell chairman and Rev. J.
S. Black superintendent of
schools and secretary ex-officio.
All the members of the board,
■ Prof. J. D. Ezzell, T. W. Har
! rington and J. H. Williams,
were present and seemed to be
• filled with an enthusiasm and
' determination that betoken
large things for the schools of
Harnett county. More than
the usual routine of business
was transacted- Committee
' men for the school districts of
• each township were elected, as
a general thing all the old com
mitteemen were elected, very
few changes were made.
The treasurer's report to the
Superintendent of Public In
struction was received, exam
ined, approved and ordered for
' warded to the Superintendent
of Public Instruction. The re
port of the County Superintend
| ent to Superintendent of Public
Instruction was read and ap
proved .
Appropriation was made for
the expenses of conducting
Teachers Institutes for the
teachers of both races. The In
stitute for the colored teachers
will be conducted by J no. W.
Byrd, of Smith field, who is very
highly spoken of by Prof. I. T
Turlington. This Institute
will be held in the court house
at Lillington, N. C., August 5,
and continue 10 days.
The Institute for white teach
ers will be conducted by Prof.
P. P. Claxton, who is regarded
as one of the best Institute
teachers in the State. This In
stitute will begin August 19,
and continue ten days. This
Institute will also be held at
Lillington one week of which
will have to be conducted in the
Academy as court will be in
session that week. Prof. Clax
ton will give lectures in the
court house at night and will
be able to reach men from the
different parts of the country,
which could not be reached
but for the court. Every teach
er who expects to teach a pub
lic school is required by law to
attend a teachers Institute.
The first question that the can
didate for teacher's certificate
will perhaps have to answer is,
Have you attended through the
term of a teachers Institute this
year? and if the answer is in
the negative the examination
can be arrested with that an
swer for the Superintendent
cannot issue the certificate, let
the remainder of the examina
tion be ever so good. The law
is simply mandatory as to the
attendance of teachers upon the
Institute and the Superintend
ent has not option in the mat
ter.
The Board says that every
term of school must be contin
uous term of at least eight
weeks so the Superintendent
cannot approve a voucher when
the school term is for four
weeks or when the term of
eight weeks has been broken by
a rescue other than one caused
by a special Providence.
Teachers first grade certifi
cate given after this date will
be gocd for two years, but Gen.
Toon says they can in no case
be granted without an exami
nation. A very important mat
ter was overlooked by the
Board of Education at the last
meeting, which is to be regret
ted and I guess it was the fault
of the Secretary, viz : making
an appropriation for the library
fund the Superintendent has
the subscription of one school
in Black River township in his
possession and other schools
were to send their subscription
to him at the meeting of the
Board last Monday but must
have forgotten to do so. This
matter must not be overlooked
at the meetiug of the Board the
first Monday of August.
The outlook is, that all offi
cers, teachers, parents and chil
dren are going to co-operate so
as to bring grand results in
school work this year.
