C, as Second-Class Master. Thursday, July G, 1911. The trustees of the State School for the feeble-minded and the coun cil of State, in joint session, have se lected Kinston as the place for the school. We congratulate both the town of Rinston and the board ol trustees. We see no good reason why the government should not appropriate money for the improvement of the public roads since it gives large sums for the opening of rivers and has built railroads in the west. Let us have some government public high ways. Speaker Champ Clark says that his first duty is in the House of Repre sentatives and that he will not as pire to the presidential nomination at the head of the democratic party in the campaign next year. In other words he is willing to serve where the people have placed him and not try to use his present position to reach out for something higher. We note that the Fayetteville Ob server favors calling the legislature in extra session to give us that much needed. State primary law. Not or. your tin type, my brother, for they were in session over sixty days and would not even consider, seriously, for a moment, such a law. Wail until we get ready to elect another legislature and then advocate the primary and politicians will be afraid not to support it. The interstate cemmerce commis s;on gives out the information that twenty million gallons of whiskey is shipped by express annually into prohibition territory. We have no doubt but that the statement is largely true and it is to be regretted. There is another side to the question and we hope the commerce commis sion will give it to the public as readily and freely as they did the tibove information. Let the com mission get up statistics for some wet states by freight for the same length of time as they did for the prohibition territory. We would just like to see both sides and it is nothing but fair that the public should read both sides. Will they busy themselves to get the informa tion and give it to the people? Just be fair about the prohibition question.. A Difference. Discussing drunkenness on trains, the Greenville Reflector reminds us that the legislature made it a mis demeanor for any one to appear in public in an intoxicated condition. That is excellent as far as it goes, but the point remains in dispute as to just what constitutes "intoxica tion." An amount of alcohol which will render one man raving insane will have scarcely an appreciable effect upon his neighbor. And there you are! Charlotte Observer. A subscriber clip3 the above and sends it to us with the following ex planation: That's easy. When he can't lie flat on his back on a perfectly level surface without holding on, he's drunk. Greenville Reflector. Found 600 Turtle Eggs. Colonel Willie Elliott and party, of Columbia, have just returned home after a delightful ten day camp at Fripps Inlet. They sient most of the time fishing and looking for turtle nests. They reported having caught a bountiful supply of fish and brought back with them about 600 turtle eggs to distribute among their friends. These are considered a great delicacy by some people, but it is generally conceded that a real hungry fisherman gets the greatest enjoyment out of them. Beaufort Gazette.

Toledo. O. GOVERNOR KITtniN'S ADDRESS. He Delivers Great Speecb at the Third Celebration of the Training School. The East Carolina Teachers Train ing School at Greenville celebrated third anniversary of the breaking of ground Friday, the 30th of June. There were many prominent speak ers for theoccasion, and among them was Governor W. W. Kitchin. The' Reflector gives the following re port of the Governor's speech: He said it filled him with pride to be here, and in looking around upon what is here, he must say that he never saw a healthier three-year-old institution, and that much credit for it is due ex-Governor Jarvis, Super intendent W. H. Ragsdale, and the late Hon. J. L. Fleming, who labor ed so earnestly to secure it. The State of North Carolina may have made a good bargain in secur ing this school, but if Governor Jar vis made a bad bargain for Green ville and Pitt county, it was the first bad bargain he ever made. The State levies taxes to maintain schools, not for the benefit of a few, but for the benefit of all the people of the State. We want to see North Carolina occupy -a high place; we want to see our farmers and manu facturers prosperous and happy. We want to see the lawyers, the doctors, the teachers so honorable, so high above suspicion, so worshiping at the shrine of truth and justice that the finger of criticism can never b point ed at them. Teachers are laying the foundation for this in an educated citizenship. If the teachers fail in their duty, the structure of citizen ship is erected on a false foundation. Civil governmeut is taught in our schools, and it is well. I would not say that the old patriarchial govern ment of thousands of years ago was not the best the men of that age were prepared for. In those old days there was no printing press, no rapid com munication, so the people had to struggle along with patriarchs, kings and nobles to make laws for them. The struggle of the successive ages has been to throw off these and bring the government to the hands of the people. Self-government has come to stay. The printing press and rural mail delivery, coupled with the work of the earnest teacher, the freedom of the press, freedom of speech and growth of intelligence have made things change. The old highway robber found the farmer on his way to the market an easy prey. Those robbers have been succeeded by the green goods and gold brick swindlers, and it requires more intelligence to protect them selves against these. When you find men advocating an unjust law, they do so under (,he guise that it is best for the people. We need a high class of citizenship to prevent being de ceived by these, and here is where the work of the good teacher comes in. Men must be above corruption and the purchase of influence, and they must have the courrge of their convictions and to do right. Let no one think that because gen erations ago some great men were produced who never saw inside of a sehool house, that this can be done now. The farmer ( who now planf s and cultivates corn after the methods of the past can raise some corn, but he's a failure as a farmer. Educa tion is preparation for life work, for conflicts, for the environments with which you are to be surrounded. The thoughts that stick are the. ones that count. Education makes people honest. Do not think because you are honest now that you need no fortification. The tide and current of temptation run high, and we need to strengthen against this by a love of honesty and honor. Overcome one temptation and the next one is easier to over come, likewise the yielding to one temptation makes it easier to fall under the next. The first down ward step is the one to be regretted. Had not the first step been taken no failure would occur. The difference between a good man and a bad man is not in statue nor brilliancy, but in moral character. One man resists I temptation and is good, another i succumbs to the temptation and is bad. The sour man is not happy, he may have accumulated a fortune, but if he is lacking in human kindness, friendship' and sympathy he is a fail ure. You need friends for the good ygu can do. Your enemies will not follow your advice, but it is only your friends upon whom you can count. No one rejoices more in the strides North Carolina is making than my self. We are on the up grade agri culturally, industrially, commercial ly, educationally and religiously. Yet we need the help and sympathy of every man and woman. Love your duty and do it bravely". CASTOR I A For Infants and Children. The Kind You Have Always Bought Bears the Signature of MAKKItu Hi UUHuAfli. lifer Mr. W. B. Dunn Leads to The Altar Miss Maud Wilkerson. Durham, N.
