Crowded out last weeu.
The University of North Caro
lina is now well started on its
years work and students and
faculty of the institution are
once again conscious of their
deot to the Young Men’s Chris
tian Association which has taken
such a prominent part in getting
things to running. Freshman,
more than any other people, per
haps, have a tender feeling for
the Association, for it was the
Information Bureau which was
run by Y. M. C. A. members
which enabled them to see some
semblance of order in the chase
of red tape which seemed to con
front them on their arrival here.
The Association had sent each
prospective new student a hand
book during the summer, which
contained all the information
that could be compressed into
the small space, in regard to the
new^ country into which the men
seemed to themselves to be jour
neying. The Association engi
neered College Night, when a
mass meeting in Gerrard Hall
brought together for the first
time all the students, old and
new—the new men for an intro
duction to the custom and un^
written laws of the life of the
University community, the old
men for a noisy, cheering gather
ing, with everybody clapping
everybody else on the shoulder,
glad at the realization that he is
back. At this meeting talks
w’ere made by Mr. C. L. Williams
on the Educational Value of the
Literary Societies, Mr. Archie
Dees, on the Honor System, by
which the student body governs
itself. T, C. Function of Athle
tics in a Synmetrical Education
by Mr. C. E. McIntosh. E, W.
Turlington, the President of the
Y. M. C. A. for the coming year
spoke of the Achievments and
Aims of the Association. Turl
ington who is also the first scholar
of his class and who wrtn the
Bingham medal in debate at the
last Commencement, told of what
the Bible study groups conducted
by the Association had meant
last year. The groups had in
cluded 400 men or half of, the
entire student body. A startling
attainment of the bible study
enthusiasts in the eyes of many,
w'as the organization and suc
cessful year’s work of a class
which consisted of members of
the football team only. He told
of the various ways the Associa
tion had made itself a part of the
life ef college.
According to its time honored
custom the Association held its
welcome meeting on the first
Sunday of the session. Dr. Ed
win Mims, Professor P. H. Wins
ton and Reverend R. W. Hogue
made short talks. Dr. Mims told
of what the Association had
meant to him in his student days
at Vanderbilt and during the
many years he had beena teach
er at Trinity College. Professor
Winston warned the new men
against five evils which the man
who lives the life of the college
successfully must shun laziness,
drunkness, gambling, immoral
ity and profanity.' Mr. Hogue,
pastor of the Episcopal church
here pointed very forcibly- the
necessity for development along
spiritual lines—a necessity which
he considered more stringent
than any other and one which he
feared college men are prone to
neglect. The one thought which
ran through all three of these
talks was that the work of the
Association should appeal and
does appeal to the strong men of
the student body.
Mr, Ed. P. Hall, the newly
elected general secretary of the
Associotion, has had and active
part in the engineering of these
various meetings of the Associa
tion. Mr. Hall graduated at the
University of Georgia last spring,
v/here he was a member of the
honor board and president of the
Y. M. C. A. He has already
made a very pleasant impression
on the large number of students
who hsivB bGConi6 EcqiiairitGu
with him.

we get experience and a gxxxi
training in Poultry culture which
is worth a great deal more than
our trouble of exhibiting. So let
us be up and doing and get out
our best variety of birds
and make this the biggest
Poultry Show Alamnce has ever
had. Tell your neighbors and
get him to send out his' coop. I
have been in the Poultry business
many years but I learn many
things of interest every Fair.
Wedonot go to the Fair for a
Circus, but to learn and exchange
our ideas.
I remember the first I’air held
in Alamance when the Cows were
old Red and old Brindle, but now
we find the Soft eyed, we^k fac
ed, FaM'n like Jersey cow in every
Stable or pasture.
We remembered when the
chickens were old Dominecher,
Dunghill or game. Now just
look at our nice breeds all over
tiie country. We remember when
our horses were in bred and a
great many went blind and now
we rearely ever see such. These
things were improved andbrought
about by our exchanging ideas at
our county Fairs. So let us come
in full force.
Respectfully,

Hog Pen Notice.
I want the names in. writing of
any property owner in town who
have trouble at night, in the use
of their houses, due to filthy hog
pens.
The Mayor and other officers
of the town have repeatedly been
notified of these conditions, and
appear utterly indifferent as to
any ones comfort.
High legal authority advise me
that the States Court’s can _ app
ly the remedy and if you will act
at once, we can get relief and
redress at next November court.
This is important it may save
the life of your child.

Following the usual custom the

No ^gher compliment could be
paid to her integrity than the,
fact that in all these years no
whisper was ever heard affect
ing her character. In her do
mestic life; she :was peculiarly
fortu,nate; she was a devoted
wife iajid affe^|i9.nate,mother, al
ways kind.ahu'loving. By her
neighbors she was held in the
highest estimation and she re
tained'their esteem until the day
of hei^-death. If there was any
thing more marked; than another
in thC^aracteristics of the de-
ceasedi it was the great virtue
of charity,: V the charity that
thi»ks no evil, Her moral Qual
ities y/ere always in the ascend
ant, honor, fidelity, truth and
courage. Conscience was ever
with her and of her, she practis
ed what was just and moved on
straight lines. She was happy
when she sav; others happy and
was always moved.: by human
sufferings. Mrs. Frankling was
a Christian of the highest type.
We cannot penetrate the heairt
or head arrd know their myster
ies, but we believe that faitfr
was in her, and as clear to her
as the daily light of Heaven is to
the physical eye. She had a
Chr:' .CGiix'age; a. .Chrjgtians
charity and a Ciiristians grace.
Her pity was hberal and just,
and it shone in her daily life.
She was a member of the Ox
ford Baptist church. The fun
eral was conducted froni the
home of her daughter, Mrs, R.
Hi Phillips, of Goldsboro, N. C.,
by the Revs. Watkins and Smith,
Her body was laid to rest in the
Cemetery at Goldsboro. We are
happy in the belief that
say of
lives, iives m
brighter sphere, for which a just
and righteous career had fitted
her.
With these hopes for our friend,
having placed her body in the
embrace of Mother Earth, in the
presence of a large concourse of
friends, with sad hearts, and
having commended her soul to
God, who gave it, we pay this
last tribute to her memory and
hold out her upright and virtu
ous life, for the imitation of her
family and friends,

Business Improving.
In conversation with W. E.
White of Mebane, we are advis
ed that the furniture business ie
much livelier than fw thi^
years. That he predicts good
business this fall, as there was
good wheat and oats crops, the
com crop promises the bumper
crop of this age. The tobacc®
crop is fair and bringing gooS
prices, ^hd the cotton crop ha*
improved very much for past few
weeks, owing to very favorable
weather, and cotton is selling for
for 14c and 15c three cents per
pound higher than a year ago,
And the highest price for Sep
tember for forty years. In fact
business is very good with us,
and we could now use 20 or 2§
more men. notwithstanding the
fact that a prominent Democrat,,
who is a candidate for Congrosji,
in a speech at Mebane a few
ago told our people that the la-
boring people Were getting only
three days work each week and
were barely able to exist*
Come to Mebane and you can
find regular work.
