Plans Industrial School On Island Theodore Meekins Would Re vive Proposal of Late W. J. Peele That there should bo established at Roanoke Island, preferably npar Fort Raleigh, a memorial institution in which should he investigated and taught the arts and sciences which' relate to obtaining wealth from the 8^a?such as ship building, navlga-j tion and the Ifk?>. is the contention of Theodore S. Meekins of Manteo. "If old man W. J. Peele of Ra leigh had lived and kept his health." said Mr. Meekins to a reporter for this newspaper Saturday, "we would hate already had such an institution. H" worked me like a dog down here making suggestions as to how l\ could interest the people of the isl and. He deserved more credit than any other one man for the bill which passed the Legislature in 1903 pro viding for the establishment of such an institution and authorizing an ap propriation from the State of $50.-1 000. "Old Peele was strictly a patriot. He loved his country. His country was always first in his thoughts and first in his affections. "But this appropriation In 100:5 was contingent upon the raising of by the people of the State and Na tion of one hundred thousand dollars additional thereto. Though several thousand dollars were subscribed the full amount was never raised. "Nevertheless the Idea proposed in this bill to establish a school on this Hand Is as practical as it ever was and the people of the State and the pontile of Manteo need to be awak-' e.ned to their opportunity of doing at Fort Raleigh what has already been done at Jamestown." In an article written after the bljl had been passed authorizing the ap propriation the late W. J. Peele, said that among those most efficient in securing Its passage were Represen tative Bruce Etheridge Dare and Representative Rlount of Washington County, and Representatives Mitch ell and Sprulll of Uerilo and Tyrrell countie.v respectively. The corpora tors who would have rerved as trus tees for the institution had it been founded were Theodore S. Meekins, II. Ci. Crisp. F. P. dates, A. CI. Sam Vie, j. n. Jennett. John W. I'vans, \v. H. Lucas, Joseph A. Sprulll find C. W. Mitchell. Whatever may be the m< rits or de merit- <The?>dor? Me< Svin.s" dream of a t? c''nicaJ training school on the island blirelN .&*?

Everett Discovers Interesting Wills As Task of Transcribing An cient Document Goes on in His Office Raleigh. August 20.?The task of transcribing wills and other old doc uments, sonic of them nearly two centuries old, Ih a task now consum ing much of the time of secretaries In the olflr<' of W. N*. Exerett, Sec rctary of State, hut a task not alto gether devoid of interest. it being one that frequently brings to light something that reflects Interestingly on the diatoms, life, thought and re ligious temperament of the early In habitants of the "Old North State." Two wills made by Joseph Hell, of Cartaret County In 172R and 1744, which were transcribed this week at tracted much interest 011 the part of employes In the Secretary of State's office in spite of the hours of tedious work they spent In making the tran scriptions. Doth wills abound in misspelled words and grammatical errors, but rhetorically, they are forceful and expressive. Although new typewrit ten copies have bi?en made, the orig inal manuscripts will be preserved In the State's archives. They now are almost Illegible, the Ink having faded and the parchment having browned with age. They were read with the aid of a magnifying glass. In point of phraseology and relig ious expression, the will drawn In 174 4 Is the most interesting. It fol lows iu part: "In the name of Ood, Amen, this 12th day of .March 1744:6, I Joseph Hell of Cartrlte County In North Car olina I'lantor be very sick and weak In Hody but In perfect mind and memory thanks be given unto Ood. J "Therefore Calling unto mind the mortality -of my Hody and knowing that It appointed for all men Once to dye do make and ordain this my last will and Testament that Is to sav , principally and first of all I give and recommend my Soul Into the hand of Ood that gave It and I recommend' my Hody to the Earth to be burled in decent Christian burial at the dis cretion of my executors nothing ?loubtlng but at The General Ressur 4-ctlon I J?hall receive the same again by Th. Mighty power of Ood and as touching Such Wordly estate where with it hath pleased Ood to blessed me In this life I give demise and dis pose of ?ame In following manner and form." In thn first will Joseph Hell be queathed various pieces of property, real and personal, to his wife, Mar tha ffell, snd to four children, but In the second will he named his wife II the principal help and designated Gelfand's Relish and Mayonnaise at all good grocers. ********* * Major League Baseball * ********* AMERICAN LEAGUE Yesterday's Score-*. ?

Amendments Make Beer Bill a Joke Liquor Interest t Regard Lady Lady Astor's Bill As Absolutely Harmless L' U. on. ..ug;-t 20. *.n'.y Astor's liqv r I 111 ( i anli ! I j i . liquor '.interests as a huge joke?in fact so jnuch .*?') that they hav< mad** no ? i~iiou.j efforts to hinder its passage, i Tl n nfost persist! ill opponents of the bill when it was first introduced j in the Commons' now regard the .ameiifled form so harmless that some | of th? m even went so far as to sup j port it. The original intention of the bill (was to prohibit the sale of intoxicat ing liquors to persons under 18 years jof age, heavy" penalties being provid ed far Infringements. The mmmit Itee lo eharg< of the bill, however, in serted the vital words "knowingly under eighteen" and now the propri etor cannot be fined or arrested un less It Is proved that he knew the consumer to be under aue. Another amendment to the bill permits persons under 18 years to be served with beer and wines with a meal. This has earned for the hill the title "Beer and Biscuit Hill" since the latter is recognized as a meal within the understanding of the Eng lish law. What is more, it is not necessary for the meal to bo ordered in the saloon, hence a boy or girl may bring a biscuit with them and be served with as much beer as he or she wishes. The only people Lady Astor's bill seems to have pleased are the antl prohlbltlonlsts, for they believe that It has placed a barrier in the path of total prohibition, as it has used up all the energy of its supporters in seeking to have this bill passed and there Is not enough left to put through the more stringent and less evasive measures. The only prohibi tionist In the House of Commons spoke against the bill as being a "weak sister," which would do more {harm to the cause than good. Lady Astor responded to the at jtacks saying that she couldn't please everyone, and some vexatious meas ure must be put up with. She said that it she did what she wanted t6 on a hot day she would take a Jump Into the lake in St. Jamen Park. To this another member cried out "I wish you would, that has gone dry now."
