C. PHONE 802 HISTORY OF sVONKWALL TRAINING SCHOOL (Continued from page 37) the good people of Concord Mrs. 1). L, Bast, who got busy and through her Study Club presented a splendid large range with the necessary cooking vessels, complete. Then came Mrs. .Tohn K. Patterson, through her Boys' Bible Class of Cen tral Methodist Church, donating the fur nishing for the officers’ bed-room in the fii'st cottage. A Glad Day. By all these goodnesses of local wo men and the generosity and liberality of folks in Thomasville, High Point, Sal isbury 1 and Charlotte, by innumerable personal sacrifices and hardships, and many a heart-ache, the management won the race, with two days to spare. On the 112th day of January. 1000. the Stonewall Jackson Manual Training and Industrial School, for wayward and un fortunate boys, under 16 years of age, was opened; and 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 ple in the state and hundreds responded. The idea of a shower was involved in the invitation. Quoting a pessimistic woman, the shower "did not prove torrential, but the towels, napkins, disk rags, big forks, big spoons, soda, soap, pepper, salt. etc., made a pile, room high, repre senting a value way up in the hundreds of dollars —most acceptable and neces sary articles. Other Donors. Substantial money gifts for specific purposes have been made by Gen. R. I. and Mr. Van Wycli Hoke; Col. F. B. McDowell: Mr. Caesar .Cone; Mr. and Mrs. IV. X. Reynolds: Hon. J. A. Long: Gen. Julian S. Carr: Col. A. H. Boyden: Mr. D. A. Tompkins; Asheville Lumber Company; Mrs. It. K.

C. furnished all the funds for the erection of the attractive Gran ite Chapel, which today would cost $25.- <IOO. and the same organization furnish ed five thousand dollars on one cottage, and is now engaged in raising of four thousand dollars for’*the construction of a memorial bridge: the Stonewall Circle of King's Daughters, of Concord, donors of a $1,200 set of brass band instru ments; Men’s Club, of the Second Presbyterian Church, of Charlotte, fur nished $24,000 for the erection of a cottage borne: also the county of Guilford is furnishing twenty-four thou sand dollars for the erection of a cottage home; and Mr. J. B. Sherrill gave an extremely liberal price and easy terms for a Babcock Press, used in printing The Uplift. During the twelve years since the op ening of the school, there has been made to the institution gifts, in kind, useful and necessary, reaching a value of thou sands of dollars —these. in fact, have kept the-"bead above water." MATERIAL POSSESSIONS AFTER 15 YEARS’ EFFORT. Three hundred acres of ground, for merly a cotton plantation, much of it now approaching a high state of cultiva tion under wise management, was the absolute gift of citizens of, Cabarrus ' count v in 11*07. Through it Hows a con siderable branch, making pastures prac ticable; and just rolling enough to give a perfect drainage. The campus, where the buildiugs are located and where others will be erected from time to time, overlooks the X’atioual * Highway and the main line 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 the l nited 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 Jife. When this plantation was purchased, an elegant gentleman of Concord, one who is a large land-owner and is a first class agriculturist, remarked: "you have possibly the poorest place in the coun ty.” Some time lateF, when agricultur ists learned more about mother earth, aud it had been demonstrated! that all kinds and conditions of soil yielded to a Wise treatment, scientifically and other wise, this gentleman revised his opinion. The fact is, the crops ruitjed on the J. T 8 fields are a jttttle short of wonder ful ; aud this has' been accomplished in practically nil* years. To be entirely frank, the uppermost idea with the Board of Trustees at the time of locating the institution was the securing of a home gratitously aud one UA situated that it would be convenient, but abbve all where the character es the CANNING TOMATOES AND BEANS 1 ' Tift w* in VfcBSUrlfSS!

The doctors’ bills do not beach a hundred annually—most of this on account of slight accidents occurring from youthful and manly sports. The Yiew From Campus. [ There is nowhere in the state to bo had a more beautiful view than from the grounds of the J. T._S| campus. It is in a class to itself. For miles, in every’ direction, tile naked eye takes in tile far removed horizon, which seems just the fringe of a huge canopy bung over this one spot. The elevation is such that trains, pulling out from the station at Charlotte (17 miles distant) may be fol» lowed by tile eye, traced by day by the smoke, and at night by the headlight. Practically Nudge of Buildings. On this old plantation there was found only a small, dilapidated old farm house approaching the worthless stage: a small barn, unkept; and a shell of if 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 cept when a boy (a newcomer) develops a sickness appearing suspicious and thus requires caution and care. This then was the sum total of what the institu tion had to start with. What Is Now in the Plant. Let us enumerate: 1. Four cottage homes complete and iu use: a fif*i 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 in use is 120 boys; but by economy of space, the large use of the . houor system, and without crowding, these four cottages are now providing homes for 133 boys. In not many weeks, tlie capacity will have beeu increased to 102. 2. The Administration Building. I<N rated at the head of the campus and near the entrance, is both attractive and substantial. It serves, aud was so in tended when planned, as the living quar ters of the superintendent and his fam ily : rooms for the business offices aud fer the reception of business visitors; sleeping apartments for the several la dies employed in the conduct of the in stitution aud for other officers not pro vided for the cottage homes. It is equipped with modern conveniences. 3. The Roth Industrial Building, do nated by Mr. an<F Mr*. G. T. Roth, of Elkin, X’. as a memorial to tttek mothers, is aniongMhe most useful of {he entire plant. Wlftu Mr. Roth rode up in front of the first home of The Uplift, inquiring for a certain issue of that paper, which contained an item wishing for a certain building and desiring a gift from some unknown source, he read it aloud ami remarked: "Here's yout man."
