The State Dispatch. North Carolina Agricultural and Mechanical College. irreensboro, K. C., Sept, 7.— Tile fall term of the Agricultural and ]\Iechanical College for the Cr'ovcd Race, Greensboro, be- Tuesday 6th. Fifty-two jr.;dents matriculated upon the n>'v day. This does not include r.uinber of other students pres- waiting tci complete their f-xa:r/inations for entrance or for I'i'.e removal of (Conditions.

There is no disputing the fact that tne rural telephone has come to stay and that it is one of the greatest conveniences of modern time. The efforts now being put forth by the Southern Bell Telephone and Telegraph Company to establish these rural lines should receive the hearty endorsement of all our people. The line out to Kelton is already proving itself a very great con venience. Now that the election IS to come off on August 30th we expect to get the returns w^ithin a few minutes of the time that the vote thiere is counted. Now if we had a direct fo Cross Keys j and to West Springs and to; Meador's and to Whitmire what' an easy task we would have t^ get the returns from every box in the county. Not only that, but the people living along those lines could get the returns from | all over the county just as fast! as the papers could and up and tabulate the results here. Look here, Mr. Farmer, let's get busy and get these lines scattered throughout our county before another two years. And election' returns is but one of the many ^ advantages. If we had good roads and telephone lines how easy to get a doctor in time of sudden illness. Then, too, how easy for the resident in the coun try to ring up Union, Jonesville, New York~in fact any market, and get prices any other valuable infoiTOation in connection with the marketing of his products. We believe the day of the rural telephone and of good roads is at hand. An advancing civiHzation is crying loudly for these two marks of a progressive people. s Taxing Noises. Ohio State .Journal. There should be a new rule for taxing automobiles, the tax to be rated according to the noise they make. Speed is not the only fault of an auto—it is the out rageous noise it makes, that is sometimes excruciating. One may hear one of these chattering machines three blocks away and for three blocks after it has pass ed, but in the meantime while it is passing life is dismal and pain ful. A person cannot work, talk or read, and time is worse than wasted. That is the thing to tax—the noise, the grief of that is on the people. Of course, some people cannot afford anything but an old ramshackle machine, but that is no reason why everybody else should suffer. We are talking these days about abolishing privi lege, and there is no privilege quite so oppressive as that of running a clattering and ear- racking auto down a street, spreading consternation in a hun dred homes. And these honks—tax out the clangor and the shriek, and li cense no auto with the hyena screech. Protect the people from a discord as you would from a p;‘^tiience. A Strong Presentation ‘'The administration's case is presented strongly. Ther^ have bvten achievements ~ actual — achievements-- in the direction of lirpgresS. Whither the country in this period of unrest and fault finding, will pause and rightly I aporaise these achievements re- ! mrdns to be seen. Probably not. But they are of record, cannot be bh:>tted out, and will be properly a}upraised by a dispassionate peo ple eome time, if not now." — W-ishington Herald. $25.00 Reward. ’^^Cwenty-five^ollars reward will bh |)aid for the arrest and con viction of the parties who on iVf {>nday night August 29th, 19Kl and at other times, did wilfully apd maliciously shoot at and in- ;jure our Cable on the road be tween Burlington and Graham.
