COCNTY TEACHERS' MEETING.
Holding a County meeting in
honor of the great work Prof.
Turlington has done for the edu
cational interests of Johnston
County is one of the most fitting
things that the teachers could
do. Almost his whole life has
been spent in trying to advance
the cause of education in our
midst, and the teachers honor
themselves and their county in
meeting to honor him.
Supt. Can ad ay is working very
hard to have a good meeting
and has arranged an interesting
program. Several addresses will
be made by the teachers of the
County and those who were for
merly teachers or pupils of Prof.
Turlington.
State Supt. Joyner has been
invited to be present and make
the principal address Mr. Joy
ner says that he would not have
accepted this invitation but for
the tiitrh regard in which beholds
Prof. Turlington.
The meeting will be held next
Saturday, December 22, begin
ning promptly at 1L o'clock.
Let every teacher and friend of
education in .lohnston County
who possibly can, come together
on that day and make the meet
mg a great success.
Tue Baptist people of North
C iroliua have started out on
the campaign of raising one
h indred and fifty thousand dol
lars for the endowment of Wake
Forest College. Last week at
Greensboro $89,000 of this
amount was raised. As Boon as
$112,500 is raised the General
Education Board will give the
College $87,600.
President Kooseyelt, who re
cently visited Porto Kico, iu a
special message to Congress re
commends that the Porto Kicaus
should be given American citi
zenship in full, lie says that
under the wise administration of
the present Governor aud Coun
cil, marked progress has been
made in the difficult matter of
granting the people of the island
the largest measure of self gov
ernment that can, with safety,
be given at the present time.
Dr. Wallace NY. Ruttrick, Sec-j
retary of the (.leneral education
Hoard, visited Raleigh this week.
Speaking of education in the
South, he said: "The aroused
iuterest in education in the South
is such that more money can
now be raised for higher educa
tion in the Southern than in the
Northern States. The North
depended upon large gifts from
very rich men and men of small
means have given nothing for
higher education. The South
has learned to gat her small sums
from everybody,"
The United States courts are
looking after those corporations
that accept rebates from the
railroads and also the railroads
who give them. In New York
the other day the Sugar Refining
Co. was fined $80,000 and the
Co-operate Co. $70,000. If the
law does not now allow it, it
should be so amended that the
heads of these corporations who
violate the Anti-Rebating Act
should be imprisoned. Just so
long as fines only are imposed,
the law will continue to be vio
lated. When a large fine is im
posed, corporation* immediately
rsi-e the price a little, and make
the people pay the fine.
A
Major John W. Moore, the au
thor of School History of North
Carolina, died at hie home in
Hartford County a few days ago,
aged 72 years. Major Moore al
so wrote a History of North Car
olina in two volumes which had
a large sale. His mother was a
sister of John W. Wheeler, the
leading North Carolina bistori
au of bis day. Major Moore took
great pride in his State aud did
what be could to bring the great
facte of her history prominently
before the people.
The two greatest religious de
nominations in North Carolina
have just closed their annual
meetings ? The State baptist
Convention at Greensboro and
the North Caroliua Conference at
Kocky Mount. The report of the
w irk of these denominations
show that each has been making
great progress for the past
twelve months. The spirit of ed
ucation and evangelization is
being more firmly rooted in
the minds of the people
year after year and interest in i
and love for the work of lifting;
up humanity to a higher plane
of living is being more aud more
iutensitied.
Some of our learned Congress
men have become convinced that
the government in paying them
$.">,000 a year, is not paying
them enough for their valuable
services. So a bill has been in
troduced increasing the salaries
of Congressmen from $5,000 to
$7,000 per year. There are many
men throughout the country
who believe that Congressmen
are fully compensated at $5,000
per year, aud there will no
doubt be much opposition to
the proposed raise in salarv.
Even at the present price paid,
bhecouutry is able to get the
services of its most able men.
Then what reason is there for
the increase? In the English
House of tommouH there are
niauy of the ablest men in En
gland, aud yet the government
does not pay them a single
penny for their services.
Death of Mrs. Benson.
