"Public health is Vte foundation vpori ichich rests the happiness of the peorfe ami the ice! fa re of thi state." Disraeli Dr. Samuel A. Hopkins says that the uncared-for human mouth is the prize bacterial gar den of the world and all the con ditions are there present for rais ing a banner crop. Upon the condition of the mouth depends the proper nutrition of the body. Germany has established infirma ries fnr the care of children in its public schools, and they haye shown that the time expended in putting the teeth in order is far less than that lost in toothache and diseased teeth, and that the cost of keeping teeth in order is more than compensated for by the general health ot the children. General French, field marshal of the English forces, in his lat est report mentions the names of fifty-eight women whose distin guished military services in the field and gallantry entitles them to honorable consideration. Gen eral French has heretofore been opposed so political power for women, although his sister, Mrs. Despard, is one of the leaders of the English votes for women movement. Recently, General French paid a visit to his aged sister especial ly to tell her that he had become convinced that women should have full and equal power in government, and that even on the battle field they had an im portant place. American women are quite as patriotic as their English sisters and equally intelligent to exercise the vote. If a youth is not taught to do useful work before he is twelve years old, he may never be able to aquire. the habit afterward says The Phillistine. He justifies himself in his ina bility, prides himself on his own inefficiency, wraps his ignorance around him, and lies down to pleasant dreams. Men who can teach history, po litical science, mathematics, and can coach a football-ball team will faint away if you ask them to take charge of a gang of boys and dig a ditch. Pulling a cross-cut saw is abso iuieiy out 01 tneir orDit. It you ask one of them to go and bring you a clevis or a whiffletree, he goes at all he will come back with a pickax. He is educated in theories and in futilities, and the idea of mak ing work pay right here and now, and getting an education out of your work, is a thing that he has never considered, and he is hu miliated and abashed when you ask him to focus at a practical task and clean it up. i THE LATE COLONEL New York. The board of directors; f Southern Railway Company! paid a high tribute to the memory ol the late Col. A. 1$. Andrews, first vice-president and for many years . a I member of the board, who died at his home in Raleigh, X. C, oh April 17, 1015. in the following resolutions: "In Memoriam. Alexander Boyd Andrews. "Alexander Boyd Andrews was born In Franklin county, North Carolina, on the 2.'M day of July, 1S41. He tendered his services to the Confed eracy in April, lsOl, and In June of that year, before he was 120 years of age, was made a second lieutenant In Company K of the First regiment of North Carolina cavalry, Confed erate States Army. He" served with distinguished gallantry until, in Sep tember, l.Ht;:, he was shot through the chest and lung by the fragment of a shell at Jack's Shop, near tlordons ville, Va. After recovering from this serious wound he found, when peace was re-established, the whole indus trial life of the South prostrate as a result of war and the people among whom he lived confronted with the task of rebuilding their social, ami of creating an industrial, system on new lines. He became a factor of prime importance in this creative and constructive work. Realizing the ne cessity for transportation in any plan of reorganization and reconstruction, he entered railroad life. His first service was with the Raleigh and Gas. ton and with the Raleigh and Au gusta railroads, and as their superin tendent for eight years he was the principal factor in their rehabilitatioM after the ravages of war. With the R. and D. "His efficiency in this work brought him an offer of promotion from the Richmond and Danville Railroad Com pany, and in 1875 he became super intendent of its North Carolina di vision, i He remained with this and other predecessors of Southern Rail way Company and with the South ern itself uninterruptedly until--his death, a period of forty years. Be ginning with the office of superin tendent, he worked his way up through various intermediate grades until he became first vice-president and a director of this company, which position he held at the time of his death and had held for many years. "His active railroad work had thus extended over a period little abort of half a century. "During that time the principal construction and organization work of the railroads of the South has been done, and the industrial life of the South itself , has ben reorganized and rebuilt. In this accomplishment Col onel Andrews was a vital force. Pos sessing a strong and dominating per sonality, virile and commanding in character and intellect, he threw him self into his great work with irre sistible will and purpose. His achievements, which were many. richly entitle him to a place among the great constructive forces of his State and section. Completed Western Road. "Among these achievements wai the completion of the Western North Carolina railroad, from Old Fort, over the mountains, through Asheville, to Paint Rock, and its branches. Thus through hih efforts was opened up the great Industrial section of western North Carolina. Population and de ft velopment and industries followed his pioneer act, and every person in that rich and inviting territory is now, and I , ...J " & - OUR SCHOOLS E. W. S.

ANDREWS. their descendants through all the coming years will be, enjoying the conveniences, the opportunities and the blessings made possible by this great piece of constructive work. The Western North Carolina Railroad will remain a monument to the useful and honorable achievements of Colonel Andrews, who was its builder. "His life was not an easy one, if or It was his lot to encounter and. over come great difficulties. Ills activity, hU positive and purposeful character and his touch with great things brought him into sharp conflicts with important forces. In the midst of them all he bore himself with a cour age and virility which commanded universal respect and enabled him to crown his efforts with notable suc cess. In every trust and in every re lation of life he was loyal and faith ful and true. On the Personal Side. "On his personal side he was a man of compelling and attractive person ality and was greatly honored and beloved. He married in 18G9 Mls Julia M. Johnston, daughter of Col. William Johnston, of Charlotte, N. C, who was president of the Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta Railroad Com pany. With her as his helpmate he built up an exceptionally happy and beautiful home life, which he distin guished by the most cordial and liberal hospitality. "He was a devoted husband and father and followed his children, even after they were grown, with undimin ished parental tenderness and solici tude. "Ile took a deep interest in the welfare of Confederate veterans and in the establishment and maintenance for them of the Confederate Soldiers' home in Raleigh. "Although himself deprived of the benefits of a college education, he was an earnest friend and supporter 6f the University of North Carolina, being for many years a member of its board of trustees and of its ex ecutive committee. file came to realize the value of a religious life and connected himself as! a communicant with the Protest ant Episcopal church, being an active and zealous member of the Church of the Good Shepherd of Raleigh, for which in the latter years of his life his munificence helped to provide a new and stately place of worship. Devoted to Native State. "He was devoted In his attachment to the state of North Carolina. No exigency of business or of personal in terest was strong enough to persuade him to make his home elsewhere. He believed in the sturdiness, the sense of justice and the patriotism of its people, and if at any time' they, in his judgment, erred, his faith in the ultimate triumph of their sense of right was unwavering and supreme. He was always willing to leave his name and. fame In their keeping, in the confidence that their ultimate judgment would correctly appraise and appreciate his purposes and his workf "His death has brought universal sorrow and regret wherever he was known, but especially in the South, where Ixis life was spent and his work most largely done. "The secretary is directed to ex press to the surviving , members of Colonel Andrews' family the respect ful sympathy of this board and to tran. mit to them a suitably en grossed and attested transcript of this xniuute."
