The matter of board and lodging for
the visiting teachers, which has fre
quently caused trouble, is being hand
led in a systematic manner. The
Greensboro Woman's Club has under
taken the task of securing homes for
seven to eight hundred teachers, and
as far as possible homes will be as
signed in advance of the meeting at
the uniform rate of $1.50 per day. A
committee headed by Mrs. C. P. Lang
ley of 886 West Market Street has the
matter in charge and those wishing ac
comodations reserved should communi
cate with her. This is in addition to
the regular hotels which can take about
three hundred teachers
A Bureau of Information and gen
eral Headquarters will also be main
tained and all teachers have been re
quested to report there immediately
upon their arrival.
City pride as well as interest in ed-
ucatiou and r^ard of the hundreds of
visiting teachers has caused extra ef
forts to t>e made towards the success
of the meeting; this being especiallv
true of Greensboro which takes speci
al price in the fact that it was the
first city in the state to levy a special
tax foi graded schools and the center
of the county which blaxed the way
in the matter of rural taxation.
It is expected that from one thous
and to twelve hundred teachers will be
in attendance and unless all signs fail,
the meeting will be a striking success
from every standpoint.

It is understood that the terms of

that it prevents frauds and corruption
in the selection of party candidates
lor Down i« South Carolina
they have long had a legalized primary
and the Democratic executive com
mittee of chat State has been
engaged for the past month or so in
vestigating and unearthincr fraud and
corruption of almost every known
species in connectiod with the recent

corrupt and vile that in many counties
good men had to hold their noses while

For a Youth of 21 Years
ot Age.
When Vincent Astor left the offices
of the Astor Estate, at No. 21 West
Twenty-sixth street New York at
5:30 o’clock last Friday night, he
paus(jd at the dojr to remark, as if by
chance, that be would be around “in
the morning as usual,” His announce
ment meant that he would spend the
of his coming of age at his desk, as
he has spent every day, almost with
out expeption, since he returned from
Europe on Sept. 27.
In spite of this routine purpose of
com- young man his twenty-first anni-
busily I yersary will be marked by developments
; of an unusual character. Chief among
I them will be the foliowing:
j Vincent Astor will come into abso-
• lute control cf his $65,000,000 share of
, the estate left by his father, Ccl
, John Jacob Astor, who lost his life in
the sinkir p of the Titanic, seven mon-
j ths ago, Vincent may do with all or
any part ol: it whatever his fancy may
! suggest, and no perso*> may offer any-
! thing t)ut advice against his action.

Carr, N, C. 11-16-12
Editor Leader :-
I write to ask if something cannot
be done to work the public road from
the Orange county line near Mr. Bob
I'ates to the Cross Roads road near
Mr. Frank Garrisons. This is an im
portant road. We have a splendid road
from Prospect Hill and Corbett via
Carr to Alamance County line and
from there to the Cross Roads road,
a distance'of 1 and one half miles, it is
terrible during the winter and spring.
There is a large section of Caswell,
Orange and parts of Person counties
that haul over this road from Mebane.
Last spring the road got so bad that
about 80 of the citizens of Orange and
and Caswell county took their hansd
and teams and went over to Alamance
and worked this road to that we could
get to our railroad station. I knov
that your county nas not worked this
road for years. Is it because Alamance
don’t want us to come to their town?
1 have talked to the merchants and
and Toba«:co Warehousemans of Meb
ane and urged them to see if they
could help us, they all assured us
they will do all they can to get it
worked and that Commissioner Dailey
promised them to have it worked. I
hope Mr- Editor that 70U will get be
hind this and see if you can’t get your
county to work this short stretch of
road, only 1 and one half miles and
no more important stretch of road in
your county. It means a lot to your
town. If your county commissioners
will send their road force to this road i
we will come over from Caswell and f
Orange to help you again, if your!
county is too poor to do this work. If i
you-want to help Mebane and Alaman
ce county you will get behind this and
urge them to do something.

An Artful Dodger.

“No, she’s very patient. But she of

This killi^ people for fun should be

this State. The parents of boys should
teach them before they go to college
common decency, and if they are
taught that they would not indulge in
such “careless boyish pranks” as they
have been doing for the past two years.
Four deaths have resulted in that time
from hazing. The college faculty
should expel hazers no matter what
influence they have.
The latent case that comes to us by
wire from Middletown, Ohio, describes
(the death of a young man who was
required to lie down on all fours and
push a lead pencil with his nose across
the floor three or four times. The
young brutes who stood by to watch
this fun kicked him violently in the
spine three or four times, and the
result is that his death is expected.

ssulloway of New Hamp
shire Gone.
(From The Vicksburg Herald.)
The defeat of Congressman Sullo-
way of New Hampshire should be a
lesson of value to the cowardice which
carried the pent ions scandal (to record-
breaking dimensions in the last Con
gress. Pension appropriations were
Sulloway’s chief industry and dragnet
for voters. And where he led, re
gardless of duty and principle. Con
gressmen trailed, as blindly as sheep
follow a bellweather. His dirge has
been thus sounded by The New York
Sun: “Hon, Cyrus Adams Sulloway
of the First New Hampshire district
has. overhung nine Congresses. A
beacon of pension seekers, a tower of
ancient Republicanism, a head among
the stars, for nearly 20 years the Hon
Cy Sulloway has been mistaken for
the other Washington monument by
tourists. Birds nested in his martrial
beard; the telephone ran up from the
Speaker’s desk to his cloudy summit;
yet was he always ready to lout low
and shake hands with New Hampshire
visitors in the gallery. A tower is
fallen, a mountain sunken, also, alas
for Cyrus!”
