Why a Carolina Boy Should Go to
College.
' I
The North Carolina boy belongs In
bis own class. There is no other
?
boy li> any other State exactly like
him. It matters not whether he
comes from the level lands of the
eastern counties or climbs the moun
tain peaks of the west, there i? some
thing in him. peculiar to the State
of his birth, which differentiates blm
from other boys.
"He's a Tar Heel born
And a Tar Heel bred,
And when he dies
There's a Tar Heel dead."
He is ambitious, candidr resolute,
self-reliant. A trifle timid he may
he at first while finding himself, but
when conscious of his powers he
steps forth to meet his opportunities
and do his tasks all the world cannot
daunt him. Why should this North
Carolina boy go to College?
(1) To enable him to find himself.
Gropuig for more light, grasping
eagerly at every chance for self-im
provement, catching faint echoes of
voices calling him to a higher life,
he has a vague sense of a larger
world than his own where his facul
ties, the possession of which he
scarce perceives now, may reach the!
full development. But the vague
ness of the feeling confuses him. He
Is undecided. Law, medicine, busi
ness, farming, teaching-all perchance
flit before his fancy, each charming
him for a moment, leaving him still
undecided, ready to sink into a life
of shiftless mediocrity. He needs
to discover himself and the college
will help him to do It. There he
will find fellowship, comradeship, coun
sel. There he will find enough men
above him to curb his conceit ana
enough beneath him to please his
pride. There he will find teachers
of wide experience to guide his un
steady steps in quest of truth. There
his untamed will will meet in stern
conflict other wills and emeige from
the struggle chastened, disciplined,
developed. There he will come into
vital touch with the thoughts of sa
ges dead and the life of ages past.
And the result will be the discovery
of himself?more important than the
discovery of a continent.
(2) To enable him to discover his
powers: Hitherto this North Carolina
boy has lived the life of his class
without a chance to find out his own
personal characteristics. The power
to move an audience with persuasive
speech may be latent within him.
The power to wake the muse of peo
sy may be his. The college will
touch it into flame. The power to or
ganize and lead men in political par
ties may slumber within him. The
college will bring it out. The pow
er to build up and manage great in
dustrial enterprises may be his a
waiting development. The college
will give it.
(3) To enable him to seize his op
portunities. The college will not on
ly help the North Carolina boy to
discover himself and develop his tal
ents but it will also open before him
rare opportunities and enable him to
seize them. His capacity for pleas
ure will be quickened, broadened,
deepened. In himself he will discov
er the real sources of happiness. His
ability to make a living will be large- '
ly increased. His ability and his
willingness to serve others will be
enlarged. He will make a better,
brighter and broader citizen. His
manhood will be disciplined, develop
ed, enriched. 1
(4) To enable him to make a suc
cessful career?successful not neces- i
sarily in money getting, but success- 1
ful in the higher sense of achieving I
noble tasks. There is no ne plus i
ultra to the North Carolina boy today <
who goes to college fired with the 1
holy ambition to make the most of i
his powers for the good of humani
ty. The world with all its glory is
his. But let it be remembered that
all tte above is predicated on the as
sumption that the North Carolina boy
has the common sense to acquire, the
courage to seek and the character to
sustain a college education. Without (
these sterling qualities hiB college
course will be a farce and his subse
quent career a failure.?J. B. Carlyle,
in News and Observer.
South as Solid as Ever.
After having contributed hi$ sl.are |
to splitting the solid Middle West, 1
President Taft now proposes to re- i
new the effort to split the Solid t
South. But neither his army of cen- <
sus-takers nor Hitchcock's postmas- ]
ters will do much to accomplish this ]
result. While the new tariff has di- (
vided the Republicans of the North <
into reactionaries and progressives, it ]
makes the South as solid as ever.? i

The Kind You Have Always Bought k
Signature of <^^ y
A Woman'* Education Should be at
Broad.
Not "should a woman's education
be the game as a man's?"; for mani
festly it should not, generally sneak
ing. Not "should a woman be re
quired to take as high training as a
man in all the subjects common to
both sexes?" for there are good rea
sons why she should not as a rule.
But the question as I take it means,
"should a woman's college represent
culture as broad, as thorough, and
of as high a grade as that given by
colleges for men?"
Well, why not? When a woman un
dertakes a professional career, like
law or medicine, she must cover and
master the identical course that is
laid out for men; and the same is
true when she studies for the higher
degrees in a university. But as her
success in either of these instances
depends measurably upon her pre
vious training, why should not this
training have been equal to that of
the man with whom she must com
pete?
In the average mind, however, this
question relates to the average wo
man, who will spend her life in the
home as wife and mother. Should
this woman's education be equal to
that of her brother? To make the
comparison fair, we must assume
that this brother is only a private ci
tizen, an ordinary business man; and
assuming this, why should not his
sister's educational advantages be
equal to his own?
Of course, if by "education" is
meant merely training for a special
career, no general answer can be giv
en to the question, since each case,
whether of a man or of a woman,
would have to be determined by spe
cial conditions. But if education is
designed primarily to make men and
women, it is difficult to see why a
girl should not be given the same
chance to make a woman of herself
as a boy has to make a man of him
self. And if anyone claims that it
requires less education to make a
woman than it requires to make a
man, the burden of proof is on him.
Ability to think clearly and plainly,
to see all sides of things and to ex
press one's thoughts accurately and
forcibly; tie breadth and strength
that come from contact with great
minds of all ages; the larger views
of the world and of life that come
to one who has entered into the mys
teries of nature; greater power of
achievement in every direction; high
er ideals; opportunity to do and to
be one's best?these are supposed to
be some of th^ benefits of a liberal
education. Do these benefits come
to a woman as well as to a man un
der equal conditions? Does she need
them as much as he does, or is she
less worthy? If husbands and wives
should be equally mated, should this
equality omit the element of intel
lectual culture? Can it move in this
element and still be maintained?
Then, if one admits, as many claim
that the first five years of a child's
life count more than any other equal
period in determining its intellectual
and moral qualities, such an one
could scarcely even raise the question
under discussion.
In what has been written, it is, of
course, assumed that a woman's edu
cation should be directed towards
the making of a healthy and womanly
woman.?R. T. Vann, in News and
Observer.

Why We Need More Stock.
It is certainly possible to improve
the productiveness of the soli with
out stock, but that it is easy and
profitable to do so I do not believe.
Hy the use of the mineral elements to
encourage the growth of legume
crops, and by turning these under
as manure, one can certainly maintain
and improve the productiveness of
the soil. But he will be doing it iu
a needlessly expensive way.
It is not necessary that every grain
farmer or every cotton farmer should
make stock the main thing on his
farm, but every farmer, who practices
a rotation that brings him these im
proving crops on his land, must, if
he proposes to farm in the most eco
nomical and profitable way, at least
keep stock enough to eat up the
roughage of his farm. For. after
growing a crop of peas, for Instance,
worth for feeding at least J 10.00 per
acre, he cannot afford to use all
that for manure, because he can save
by far the larger part of the nianuri
al value of the hay in the droppings
of stock after he has secured the
full feeding value.
The cotton farmers have for geneia
tions been trying to grow crops with
out stock and have not, as a rule,
grown rich at It, and their lands
have grown poorer. What th v heed
is more feed for stock and mcr > feed
ing and more manure for ti1 land.
No system of farming which <' s not
include stock raising haa ev> r made
a farming country rich.?The Pro
gressive Farmer.
Starvation Prices.
Naturally the newspapers publish
ed in the tobacco towns wis). in
duce tobacco farmers to brin: a ir
product to their particular n. k >t.
This is commendable and , ? use
worthy. Some of them may f . . Iiat
if they print how low a pi e the
trust pays for tobacco in th> ir com
munity the farmers may bo to some
town where the papers do noi print
the starvation prices. They fall to
understand that everybody knows?
the tobacco farmers to their cost?
that the trust fixes the price on ev
ery market, and that if Wilson is
paying three cents so is Kinston and
Rocky Mount, and the other markets.
Of course, some of the first tobacco
Is not the best, but there Isn't a
farmer who does not know that the
price of three cents is practical rob
bery. So far the bulk of the crop
sold on all the markets has been at
a price that does not pay half of
the cost of cultivation, and more has
probably been sold at four cents than
ten cents.
The best service the paper can
render is to protest firmly and vig
orously at the wrong the tobacco
trust is perpetrating in fixing the
starvation prices for the farmers,
whose necessities compel them to sell
their crop at once. If the trust sup
poses "prices are fairly satisfactory,"
is there any hope of better prices?
The Wilson Times talks sense when
it says:
"If the American Tobacco Company
did not intend to pay anything for
the tobacco raised in Eastern North
Carolina this season, and were load
ed up on the kind of weed raised in
this section, the company should have
announced It in the papers early in
the season, so the farmers could
have put their tobacco lands in bread
crops.
"Present prices for tobacco on the.
basis of 500 pounds to the acre will
hardly bring sufficient to pay for the
fertilizer.
"Our advice to the farmer is to
hold the tobacco awhile longer, for
It seems that the soulless trust will
see just how low they can buy it."?

Th? Whiskey Advertisement.
It U rather curious that the edl
^ tors of some newspapers hare such
perverted notious of common morals,
j They fight like tigers for prohibi
tion and then turn right round and
sell their space to Virginia whiskey
dealers. The distinction between sell
i'ig newspaper space to a liquor mau
and handling the alcoholic beveragu
over the counter Is. rather too fine
I to be comfortable to a man who
poses as a leader of moral senti
ment. The truth is, whiskey is so
vile a thing that nobody can touch
it in any shape, form or fashion
without loss. Our statute law for
bids the manufacture and sale of
liquor within the borders of our com
monwealth. All good citizens, what
ever their views on the prohibition
question are In duty bound to aid in
the enforcement of this law and not
wink at its violation. The end of
the law is the suppression of the
liquor traffic. Its aim is to afford
protection, especially to our youth,
from the unspeakalbe evils of intem
perance. Now, if this be true of the
' privatfe citizen, how much more
should it be true of the man who
sets himself up as the special cham
pion and defender of law and order!
Any agency that hinders the full
enforcement of the law or that tends
to violate any of its provisions, cer
tainly should not receive the sanction
of moral citizens. A fine sense of
the obligation of citizenship would
even range the "morally stunted" on
the side of a proper enforcement of
the prohibition law, and we are glad
to say It has done so In many nota
ble cases. It is a pity that a single
reputable newspaper in the State
should respond less promptly to the
high demands of good citizenship.
Selling space to a class of men who
are avowed enemies of the law Is
poor business for "sentiment mak
ers." The claim that liquor ads are
too profitable to turn down, Is whol
ly unworthy, and the newspaper that
thus prostitutes the profession will
find in the long run that whiskey
ads are not profitable, for a paper
that accepts them will lose much
more in character than it will gain
in cash. ?Charity and Children.
