Elder Hassell's Address To
:'*V' • , i
.11. N. G. Alumni Association
The following deliv
ered by Rev. Sylvester Hassell, of
Williamston, at the meeting of the
University Alumni Association Tues
day at Chapel Hill. Dr. Hassell is
a member of the class of 1862. The
other two members of the class at
tending commencement were Col.
W. B. Fort, of Pikeville, and Major
T. S. Webb, of Bell Buckle, Tenn.
The General Assembly of North
Carolina, December 11, 1789, de
clared that the establishment of a
State university, supported by per
manent funds and well endowed
was the best way to promote the use
fulness and happiness of the rising
generation, and to prepare them for
the honorable discharge of the social
dut'es of life. And in 1792 this place
wat decided upon as the most suita
ble location for such an institution,
oil a healthful and beautiful hill, a
bounuing in forests and pure springs
of water, 260 fleet above the country
on the east, and MX) leet above the
level of the sea, and having upon it
a chapel of the Churih of England,
and therefore called Chapel Hill. A
chapel is a place for Christian wor
ship, and 1 believe that it was .the in
tention of the founders of the Universi
ty of North Carolina and is thq earn
est desire of the majority of its pres
ent patrons that nothing conflicting
with the truths of the Old and New
Testaments should be taught here.
it is one of the most delightful
memories of my College days that all
our professrs were men not only ol
extraordinary ability and learning,
but also of profound reverence for
the Scriptures, never expressing the
slightest doubt as to the Divine in
spiration and infallibility of any
statement of the sucred volumes,
which chiefly testifies of Christ as
our Saviour, and is guaranteed by Hi*
Spirit in our hearts, although the
crude heathen doctrine of a godless,
material evolution of the universe
had been advocated in the world
thousands of years before they were
born, and although it was levived and
defended in 1858, the year when by
class entered the University, by Al
fied R. Wallace and Charles R. Dar
win.
Both of these men denied a super
natural revelation, and held that the
species of. plants and animals were
originated by spontaneous variation,
and by the survival of the fittest
through natural selection, in the
struggle for existence. But Wallace
conceded that there most have been
throe interpositions of a Divine and
supernatural power to account for the
origin of matter and of life and of
man; and Darwin' Conceded that two
or three germs may have been created
Thus admitting the original inter :
position of God, it was unreasonable
in them to deny His continual superin
tendence ami direction of the objects
which He had created. And the latest
and most distinguished advocates of
evolution in Europe and America
whose most recent writings I havi
carefully studied, admit that the ori
gin of all things is beyond Science
ajid that an Eterant and Infinite Mini 1
may have preceded and originated thf
universe, which the Scriptures plainlx
affirm. And the oneness of the uni
vrrse, the oneness-of matter and—of
energy and of structure which these
scientists infer, prove to my mind,
not the descent of one form of life
from aaother, but the oneneas of the
Eternal Creator and the oneness of.
His purpose and plan in the original
tion and formation of plants and*
animals and of Man, whom He creat
ed in His own image, directly form
ing his body from the dust, and
bieathing into his nostrils the bieath
of life, thus making him a living
soul, as the Scriptures declare.
Even T. H. Huxley admitted that
thene is a divergence, practically in
finite, between the bodies of the high
est ape and that of man. The doctrine
of natural selection has been abandon
ed by the leading scientists of Europe.
The continued interposition of a Holy
and Merciful God in our own lives, in
the way of affliction and deliverance
implies His continual interposition in
the objects of Hia creation in the
geologic ages. The determination of
'the exact duration of those ages is
admitted by the latest and highest
authoritiea to be beyond Science; and
for years they now substitute time
urits. The latest scientists arrange
the succession of living beings exactly
in the order in which Hoses arranges
them in the first chapter of Genesis,
representing Man as the very last
creature that appeared on earth, and
that only a few thousand years or
time-units ago, Just as we learn from
the Scriptures.
Mr. Simon Lilley spent Wednesday
afternoon in Washington.
THE ENTERPRISE
RAILROADS REPUDIATE I
ACTS OF THEIR AGENTS
In nearly every business I know, it
is the rule that a company is responsi
ble for the acts of its authorized agent
In the railroad business, however, a
different policy seems to prevail, and
apparently our law-makers ar? con
tent to let it prevail.
One of the most flagrant evils grow
ing out of this policy has developed
right on my own farm. Last fall a
man came from about one hundred
miles away to work with me on Hill
top. This man had at the time an
ordinary scrub cow and young heifer
or yearling and was in doubt about
whether to bring them with him. He
consulted the duly authorized rail
road agent at his home station and
was assured:
(1) That although the two animals
together of course weighed less than
a thousand pounds, the rules of the
company called for an initial basis
charge of 2,500 pounds on the first
animal and 1,000 pounds on the sec
ond; hence freight would be figured
on a minimum of 3,500 pounds.
(2) That the freight rate would be
41 cents per hundredweight; and the
agent'himself figured out the total
charge for shipping the two animals
—514.35.
Solely and exclusively on the basis
of this information and assurance
which he regarded (and had every
reason to regard as official and trust
worthy) ,Mr, Spence decided to make
tha shipment—although even with a
• $1f1.35 charge the freight rate was
pracitcally prohibitive for a scrub
cow and yearling, the two of them
together being vtilued at only S6O.
Imagine therefore the. just sur
prise ami indignation of Mr. Spence
when he got to my farm and was told
that the railroad company utterly re
pudiated the agreement made by his
local station ngent and the (1)' in
stead of charging on 2,500 pounds for
the first animal and 1,000 pounds on
the second, he would be charged on
3,000 for the first and 1,500 on the
second, or a total of 4,500 pounds;
and (2) that instead of 41 cents per
hundredweight he would be charged
90 1-2 cents per hundredweight—or a
total of $40.37 plus $1 for feeding and
watering, or $41.73 freight charge on
animals valued at SOOI
And the railroad company says thut
•since the local agent at Mr. Spence's
home station quoted rates lowvr than
no should have done and that $41.73
was the right rate, the company re
i uses to Le bound in any way by the
promises and assurances made by its
own agent—promises and assurances
which constituted the sole reason for
Mr. Spence's making the shipment at
all.
Whenever the government makes a
freight rate so low that it doesnt
give the railroad stockholders proper
ilividends on the|r money, the railroad
cries, "Confiscation!", goes into the
courts and gets the rates raiaed. But
when a railroad company charges
rates that amount to confiscation,
even though the acceptance of these
rates grew out of misrepresentations
made by its own agents there seems to
be no relief for the copimon man.—

BOLL WEEVIL IS
NOW FULLY 'OUT'
Prof. Franklin Sherman State en
tomologist, sees prospect of aenous
damage from cotton boll weevil this
year. The pest is fully "out" all a- :
long the southern tier of counties,
Mr. Sherman says: Calcium arsenate
is the best material yet discovered,
for dealing with ihe weevil, Mr.
Shrman thinks. He has written for
the News and Observer tho following
analysis of the situation:
It is known that unusually large
numbers of boll weevils went into
hibernation last fall. It is known that
unusually large numbers were alive
through the winter. Warnings were
given that heavy damage must be
expected this year.
On May 28 ,the first boll weevil
taken from this year's cotton plants
were sent from southern Robeson.
From May 23 to June 6th th |'r pres
ence in cotton fields was proven in
of Union, Anson, Scotland,
Robeson, Bladen and Columbus. By
plain inference they are now fully
"out" all along our southern tier of
counties and perhaps throughout the
region invaded last fall.-
It is not surprising that they should
appear this nearly—in any season
they are to be expected r.t any time
after about chopping time. Numerous
speciments sent to me all through the
winter were not true boll weevil, but
were of various kinds bearing some
resemblance to it. One man did send
boll weevil in winter, from Onslo*
county, with statement that his "feed
er found it in feed." This spring some
young cotton has been killed by cow
pea boll weevil which has also beet,
mistaken for boll weevil, —but injury
by this is of ohort duration and if.
confined chiefly to land that was pre
viously in cowpeas.
Hence so far as genuine 1 oil wo»
vil is concerned the ueuson is start
ing "normally," except that tho pros
pect is for heavier damage than uv
erage.
Of course there are salesmen at
work selling their machines and "rem
edies" —concerning which abundant
warning was given in public moetigs
in the twelve counties most concerned
in Feruary and March.
No .mechanical device for catching
and destroying boll-wcevil lias Fed
eral or State recommendation. The
one and only poiosning method which
has Federal or State endorsement
(and it has both) is dusting plants
with puie dry calcium arsenate, noi
mixed or diluted with any materials
whatever, applied as a dust cloud, jm
ferably at night, with machines mack
for that especial purpose. This does
(on an average yield decided profit
able return when the weevils aiv
numerous.
This dutt method was fully ex
plained in the February-March meet
ings to several thousand farmers,—
and printed matter on it was given
out. It is fully explained in N. C.
Extension Circular No. 124, "Farm
ing Under 8011-weevil Conditions,"
which can be had from eounty agents.
There is no occasion for intelligent
persons to be mislead or deceived. The
weevil injury will be bad at best. By
following every whim and rumor tl*?
farmer can waste his money lose his
time and fail to control tho woo vil.
At this early season while weevils
ar few _in caaes-®f
cheap labor gome good can be done
by gathering the weevils by hand,
but soon their abundance will make
this impracticable. Then the dust
poison method will come into play.
Scores of intelligent farmers have
already made their preparations.
The weevil will probably not reach
our county this year, but it will be
wise for the fanners to note the a
bove instructions carefully. » j
TYPHOID VACCINE MAY BE HAD
FROM ANY DOCTOR IN COUNTY
The state is still urging that every
one take typhoid vaccination at least
every two years. In order that every,
one might be vaccinated, the state
has arranged it with all doctors to
supply the vaccine.
Typhoi d vaccination has saved
Jftiousands of people, besides heavy
Mo* ses in doctor's bills and other ex
penses. In the Spanish-American War
a large number of soldiers suffered
from typhoid and hundreds died. They
knew nothing nothing of vaccination
then, but in the world war one of the
•first requirements was that the boys
be vaccinated against typhoid, and
less than three hundred of the four
million had typhoid.
There are a few cases of typhoid
in Martin county. In some of the cases
the persons were vaccinated, but-it
was possible that the virus was spoil
ed from age or heat and the fact that
there are cases is not a good resaon
for taking the vaccine for these cases
are milder than others where vaccina
tion was not administered.

Plymouth and Roundabout
As Seen By Fred A. Olds
(Extract from Orphan's Friend by
Fred A. Old.s)
The county scat of Washington is
Plymouth, and county and town date
from 1779, the year George Washing
ton *died at Mt. Vernon. This was
one of the earliest counties named
lor the most famous of all Americans
and tiie town of Washingtn, in the
adjoining county of Beaufort, has the
nonor of being the first place given
ais name.
Plymouth's name was taken from
the 0110 of 1620, ill Massachusetts,
which in turn was named for the
quaint old town in England, and it
wu.h conferred on our Noi-th Carolina
county beat (no they will assure you)
oy a Mr. Thome, a native of tho Ply
mouth in Massachusetts, wlio.su re
mains have theme many years rested
in the garden of a house in tho town.
it was not the period of the
War between tiaj istates that Ply
mouth got prominence and in those
stirring days and years it surely had
some great experiences. The place,
a really important position oil the
Uoanbke, near the head of Albemarle
Sound, hud been captured by the Fed
eral troops early in 1862, and wua
strongly fortified by Gen. Henry W.
Weasels, the commandant, iu whose
brigade were the -86 th New -York
16U1 Connecticut, 101 st and 103 rd
tVimsylvania regiments of infantry,
IW o batteries of Massachusetts heavy
artillery, 24th New York light battery
of artillery, two companies of the
12th New York cavalry, two com
panies of North Carolina Union
Troops alio in the river were the gun
boats Maine, Southfield, Whitehead
and Ceres. General Robert F. Hoke
commanded the Confederate forces
which were formed at Tarboro and
the expedition started April 18, 1864,
to recapture Plymouth. In his force
were his own brigade (commanded by
Col. Mercer) composed of the 6th,
21st and 43rd N. C. Regiments and
the 21st Georgia); Matt. W. Han
som's brigade composed of the 24th,
26th, 66th, Bth and 36th N.-C. regi
ments; Keufer's Virginia brigade.
The Confederate ram Albemarle
came down the Roanoke river, in com
mand of Capt. Cook*!. "Ransom's
brigade stormed a fort at Conaby'a
creek on tine 18th. The next day there
were assaults from three directions
and fort after fort was taken. There
was heavy street fighting. The Fed
erals suffered a loss in killed, wound
ed and missing of 127 officers and
2,707 men. The Confederates lost 92
men killed and 340 wounded, of North
Carolinans alone. There were cap
tured 2,500 prisoners, 28 cannon, 6-
000 rifle*, 500 horses, and great quan
tities of stones.
Gen. Hoke wa« ijnly 27 years of
age. He was sent the following tele
gram by President Jefferson Davis:
| "In the name of the Confederacy I
thank you for your success. You are
a major general from the dute of the
capture of Plymouth." ' Gen. Hoke
also received the thanks of Congress
and of the North Carolina legislature..
, The Albemarle which took auch a
prominent part in the capture, was
built up the Roanoke, by Gilbart El
liott at Edwards Ferry, a native of
Elizabeth City. The vessel was of
pine, its armor was 4 inches thick,
with two rifled cannon, and with a
"ram" at the bow. Work began in the
■pring of 1863 and in the year was
finished. April 18th, 1864, the ram
went down the river in a great freshet
and attacked the Miami and South
field (the latter having originally been
a ferry boat) rammed the Southfield
aad sent her to the bottom of the
river, there some fifty fleet deep.
Capt. Flusser on the Miami fired a
shell, which struck the armor of the
ram, rebounded and exploded, literally
tearing him to pieces. The Miami's
crew attempted to board th« Albe
marle. The next morning after this
victory Gen. lloke made the attack,
the Albemarle firing oil the forts all
day with her two guns.
J May bth the ram entered Albe
marle Sound, fought the Federal fleet
of 7 gunboats and was heavily maul
ed, but had disabled some of the gun
boats. It was u drawn battle. The ram
returned to l'lymouth and was tied to
her whurf. Only one man of her crew
was killed. Capt. Cooke was at once
promoted to bo commander of all the
Confederate naval forces in eastern
North Carolina and Julian N. MolTitt
was put in charge of the Albumarle.
This vessel remained at Plymouth the
night of October 26, 1864, when Lt.
VViiliuiii O. Cushing, U. S. Navy, de
stroyed her with a torpedo exploded
by his own touch. Gen lloke said that
in his opinion this was the most dar
ing act by an individual on eitlier side
during the war. The torpedo-boat
and crew were captured, but Cush_
ing, twiee refusing to surrender, leap
ed into the river, dived and swain to
the other side, remained there the
following day, then after intense suf
fering made his way out of the
swamp, got a tiny cunoe, and floated
down the river to his fleets
The name oi iien. lioke will.-al
ways be linkod with Plymouth. This
officer was notified by Gen. Robert E.
Ixje, that in case tins latter became
from any cause, „ incapacitated for
service, lloke wus to be his successor
in command of the Confederate ar
mies, und that he hud had u confer
ence with President l>av», and the
cabinet on this special subject. There
is no memorial at Plymouth of the
recapture of tiie place, but tho wri
ter laid the matter before the Wo
man's club of the town and suggested
that a bronze tablet, of handsome and
worthy design, be placed on the court
house grounds, alongside the great
highway the state is now building and
which will traverse the principal
street; this highway connecting Ral
eigh and the extreme northeastern
counties and crossing tho Roanoke
river ut Williamston. 'ihe tablet will
be in position and ther* in. opportuni
ty for a notable celebration. The
Albemarle wus sunk by Cushing at the
water end of a street which lies along
side the courthouse and at right angle
to the highway; two blocks west ol
the court house.
The writer went to Plymouth as
the guest of Prof. John W. Darden,
Superintendent of Public Instruction
of Washington county. He hag the
quite unique distinction of having
served for two years in that position
at the same time, for both Washing
ton and Tyrrell, the first case of the
sort in the state. The railway sta
tions of the Norfolk Southern and
Atlantid Coast Line are beside the
river, at most unprepossessing points.
The station building of the A. C. L.
was burned and a box car which is
decidedly a veteran has been in use
since. There is to be a union station
on the upper level, und this will give
the railway travelers a far different
idea of the town, which has 2,400 peo
ple and will be In view of the new
$125,000 public sehool.
The Roanoke river is of little val
ue save as a "drainage ditch" for a
large area of Northern North Carolina
and as a flshway up which pass her
ring and shad, the former in myriads.
It is 50 feet deep at Plymouth, as
yellow as any pumpkin, and is treach
erous to the last degree. The town
is not subject to floods, as the storm
water flows into the vast swamps a
bove it. It is but a few imlles to Al
bemarle Sound into which the rushing
river pours Its waters. Long rafts
lie in the water like gigantic serpent*,
and saw mills are alongside the
stream. One of these Is owned by the
