many a heart-ache, the management won
the race, with two days to spare.

was opened: amt on that day the city of
Burlington furnished the first pupil.
Celebrating the opening, invitation had
been sent out to a large number of peo

invitation. (Quoting a pessimistic woman, j

MATERIAL POSSESSIONS AFTER !
15 YEARS’ EFFORT.
Three hundred acres of ground, for-j
merly a cotton plantation, much of it J
now approaching a high state of eultiva-j
tion under wise management. Was thei
absolute gift of citizens of Cabarrus)
county in 1007. Through it Hows a con
siderable branch, making pastures prac
ticable; and just rolling enough to give
a perfect drainage.
The campus, where the buildings are
located and where others will be erected
from time to time, overlooks the National
Highway and the main fline of the
Southern Railway between Washington
and . Atlanta. Over these routes, there
are passing daily dozens of trains, and
hundreds of local and touring cars from
every section of thP United States.
Though situated in the country, three
miles South of Concord, (as the law re
quires) the institution is not hid, and it
is never lonesome —it is real life.
WheV this plantation was purchased,
an elegant gentleman of Concord, one
who is a large laud-owner and is a first
class agriculturist, remarked: "you have
possibly the poorest place iu the coun
ty.'’ Home time later, when agricultur
ists learned more about mothei eaith.
and it—had been demonstrated! that all
kinds and conditions of soil yielded to a
wise treatment, scientifically and other
wise. this gentleman revised Ins opinion.
The fact is, the crops raised on the J.
T. S. fields are a little short of w ®“. de £
ful; and this lias been accomplished yin
m-acticallv nine years. ~ -
To be entirely frank, the uppermost
idea with the Board of Trustees at the
time of locating the institution was t
securing of a home gratitously and one
so situated that it would be convenient,
but above all where the character of/the

was clean aad=vvhera. good health pre
vailed. These have been abundantly se
cured. Ho far as this writer personally
•knows pv is informed, a case of chills
or malaria in the neighborhood has never
. been known. The doctors’ bills do not
reach a hundred annually-—most of this
on account of slight accidents occurring
, from youthful and manly sports.
The View From Campus.
There is nowhere in the state to be
had a more beautiful view than from the
‘ grounds of the .T. T. S| campus. It is in
a class to itself. For miles, iu every
j direction, the naked eye takes in the far
j removed horizon, which seems just the
| fringe of a huge canopy hung over this
' one spot, The elevation is such that
, traids, pulling out from the station at
[Charlotte (17 miles distant) may be fol
lowed by tlie eye. traced by day by the
smoke, and at night by the headlight!
Practically Nudge of Buildings.
j Ou this old plantation there was
found only u small, dilapidated old farm
bouse approaching the worthless stage;
a small barn, unkept: and a shell of
building used for a commissary for the
benefit of the quarry on the place, work
ed at one time for ballast for the South
ern Railway. This shack was the first
| home of The Uplift. Relocated, added to
and somewhat modernized, it has be
come the little "white house” of the
plant and serves the purposes of a hos
! pital—a service very rarely needed ex
j cept when a boy (a newcomer) develops
a shtkness appearing suspicious and thus
requires caution and cd/e. This then
was the sum total of what the iustitu
jtiou had to start with.
YYhat Is New in the Plant.
[ Let us enumerate:
4. Four cottage homes complete and
in use; a fifth cottage* (Mecklenburg
Cottage) nearing completion: the sixth
(Guilford Cottage) being arranged for;
and two others practically assured. These,
then, constitute the present living quar
ters for pupils. The present capacity of
the four cottages iu use is 120 boys: but
by economy of space, the large use of (Jie
honor system, and without crowding,
these four cottages are now providing
homes,for 133 boys. In not many weeks,
the capacity will have been increased to
102.
2. The Administration Building, lo
cated at the liedd of tiie campus
near the entrance, is both attractive and
substantial. It serves, and was so in
tended when planned, as the living quar
ters of the superintendent and his fam
ily ; rooms for file business offices, and
for the reception of business visitors;
sleeping apartments for the several la
dies employed in the conduct of the in
stitution an\} for other officers not pro
vided for in the cottage homes. It is
equipped with modern conveniences.
3. The Roth Industrial Building, do
nated by Mr. and Mrs. G. T. Roth, of
Elkin, -X. C.. as a memorial to their
mothers, is among the most useful of the
entire plaut. Wh<% Mr. Roth rode tip
in front of the first home of The Uplift,
inquiring for a certain issue of that
paper, which contained an i(em wishing
f»r a certain building and desiring a
gift from some unknown source, he read
it aloud and remarked: "Here's your

If we can leave the Wholesale Grocery Business just a little better than
we found it, and We certainly hope to, everyone with whom we come in contact
will be a little richer, and what better way can we hope to improve it than by
justifying the confidence of those who made our existence possible.
When we receive an order from you it means more to us than a mere writ
ten request for W holesale Groceries. We like to think and we know we are ab
solutely right when we do think this way, that someone must have faith in us.
It is hardly reasonable to believe we would take a willful chance on losing
that faith, and it is this display of confidence on your part that acts as an in
centive that we give the best we have at all tiipes. You can, therefore rely up
on it “That what we say it it, IT IS.”
