For the past fifteen or si.xteen years this school has been owned and run by a hoard of trustees as a Methodist college.

Policy never comes l)ctweeii him and his duty, lie is as loving as a lamb and as fearless as a lion. For a time he almost stood alone in the fight against the great enemy of men— the saloon. It does seem that vic tory is near and o leave now, is to look hack after putting the hands to the yilongh. The flag of victory might no\\’ lie wiwing over the en tire country had it not been for the ]ni])pet legislatois from Wayne County. A shame on the Chris tian element of onr citizenshiyi to be controlled by the liquor ele ment. The Ba])tists who have ehildreii to send to school should send to Baptist schools, yirovided Bajitist schools give them as much in re turn for their money as other schools. When yon begin to cal culate, ])loase remember that Bedo- haptist schools and State schools charge yon your boy or daughter, as well as your money. If your faith is valuable to yon, it is as valuable to your child. Can yon afford not to send your daughter to the Baptist Female University, at Paleigh, when it is the greatest female school in all the South, and as cheay) in dollars and cents as any, if not cheaper ( Can yon af ford not to send your son to Wake Forest College, w'hen Wake Forest stands at the head of onr Southern colleges? Her sons occupy the chiefest places in all the profes sions, even to the president of the Bankers’ Association. The Uni versity and State Normal have tin' graded schools under their control, but the time is coming when this trust will be destroyed, and may I say, this is the greatest trust the de nominational colleges have to con tend with. Ten years ago not one superintendent of a graded school was a denominational college man, but to-day we find many, and next year we will find still more, and so Mrs. Fannie Mason, wife of Pev. P. K. Mason, pastor of onr Church at Williamston, died June 24. She was buried at Morville, the home of her childhood. Sister .M ason had been a great sufferer for months. During all her sick ness Bro. Mason was needed by her bedside. During his affliction the brethren of the Tar River Associa tion showed their love by the many tokens of remembrance. The Bookmaij' tells a story of ¥ia’«-Piis had -a licil on his right arm which yiained him ‘ea*tly. “Dismiss it from your mind entirely, Mr. Piis,” urged a friend, who was a Christian Scien tist. “Don’t think about the boil at all. I’ll take the matter in hand at once, and yon will hear from me.” “And I did hear from him,” said Mr. Piis. “The very iiext day I had another Iwil—two inches from the first one.”—Bap tist Standard. The time has come when the tax collectors are required to collect the tax due the schools, by an act of the recent Parliament. This act puts all the schools of England under the control of the Fpiscoyial or State Church and requires that the doctrines of the Church shall be taught a required length of time each day. The non-conformist Churches are fighting the act, ad vocating the non-payment of the education tax. Dr. John C. Clif ford, a Baptist of London, is lead ing the oyiyiosition. At a recent meeting of the Anti-Education al Act there were 1,400,000 people present who cheered every thrust of Dr. Clifford. Surely the “churchmen” of England have not retrograded to the twelfth century. Religions persecution has not ceas ed, even among the race. At the close of the year 1001 the Board of Guardians of the city of Stokholm, Sweden, published the results of an inquiry which it had made into the causes of pauperism. It finds that drunkenness is re sponsible for 52 per cent, of the cases. In 6 per cent, of these cases both parents were drunkards, in 39 per cent, only the father, and in 1 per cent, only the mother. The children of such parents have to be supported by the poor rates. Winterville owned and controlled by the Neuse Baptist Association. The found ers of this school wore men who saw far into the future and whose motives were not those of mere i self-interest or self aggrandize ment. They saw that all over onr country evere bright boys and girls wdio were growing up into manhood and womanhood without the requis ite moral, religions and iiitelleetnal training to fit them for life. Win terville High School is a Christian school in the true sense of the word. Denumiimtionalism is not taiiMit. I'he students arc snr- O , . . . , . rounded'with an invigorating reli gions atmosphere so the heart can develop as well as the mind and the two together. Winterville is a small town situ ated on the Atlantic Coast Line railroad, six miles south of Green ville. It is free from the vice and temptations of larger towns. I’he place is noted for its healthfiilness. This is largely due to the excellent mineral water found on the school ground and one other ])lace in the town. The mineral water is noted for its curative qualities, especial ly for such diseases as indigestion and dyspepsia. The morality of the village is far above the average of towns. The people are industrious, honest and exceptionally free from drunk enness, rowdyism, cursing and swearing. I’he town has good Church and Sunday School advantages. Two Sunday Schools all the year and religious services every Sunday, Sunday night and Wednesday night. The school charter makes it un lawful for any person to manufac ture, sell, give or dispose of spirit uous, vinous, malt or other intoxi cating liquors at or within three miles of IVinteiwille High School. Parents who contemplate ]iatroniz- ing the school may well be satisfied with the wholesome restraint and influence thrown around their sons and daiuJ'.tcrs while students here. Anglo-Saxon The death of John Koolish, a Polish carpenter, and his three children, Imys 5 and 7, respective ly, and a girl of 12 years, victims of the recent East St. Dniis flood, were caused by the father trying to save the three kegs of beer. What is it that a poor helpless drunkard will not do for drink ? The blood of these are upon some one.. Who taught the father to love strong drink ? The men who sell. The legislators who make the liquor The work of State missions is now before us. The convention instructed for an increase. So each Cfflurch will have to give more than last year. This is work in our own State, in onr own Asso ciation, at our own doors. How strong this work should a]ipeal to every Baptist in the State. Our willingness to help in this field will show how much we believe in the doctrine we profess to believe. Mrs. H. L. Grant, of Goldsboro, writes as follows about the Tles- senger: “I enjoy reading the news from the different fields, and think your paper is just the right me dium for associational informa tion.” “If voting against salaries is legislating morality into men, why is not voting for saloons legislating immoralitv into men ?” Ex. BUII.DINGS. GROUNUSj ETC. There are three large hnildings. The Academy building is conven iently located just out of the busi ness part of the town, near the cen ter of a seven-acre plat of ground. A girls’ dormitory, containing nineteen bed-rooms, two bath rooms, a parlor and a dining-room located on the west end of tlie grounds. A boys’ dormitory lo cated on the east end of the grounds, containing fifteen rooms. EIBKAEY AND BEADING BOOM. The school sustains a library of many valuable books. The library is constantly enlarging by the pur chase and donation of books. This library has been made a depository for public documents. H. L. Staley is librarian. The reading room contains sev eral daily papers, several semi- weekly ]>apers and a few leading magazines, such as Ladies’ Home Journal, McClure’s and Review of Reviews. Two literary societies are con nected with the school—one for boys and one for girls. The libra ry and reading-room are freely used by the members of these so cieties and as a result, Winterville school has developed some fine speakers and writers. COURSE OF STUDY. Primary Department — two years. Intermediate Department—Two years. Academic Department — Two years. High School De])artraent— Three years. The school sustains one of the finest music seliools connected with any academy in North Carolina. Elocution is taught in class free or by ])rivate lessons from 5 to 10 dol lars per term of five mouths. A course in stenography, type writing and hook-kee])ing is sus tained at a cost of $10 per term. The faculty is one of the strong est academy faculties in North Carolina, if not in the entire South. Prof. G. E. Linelierry, A. B. (Wake Forest College), principal; Prof. F. C. Nye, A. B. (AVake Forest College) ; Miss Bertha Dawson (Salem Female Aeade- ffiT), Miss Clydi> liaVTisoij (Soutli- ern Conservatory of Alusic), II. L. Staly, librarian, with one other teacher to he elected, compose the faculty. I don’t suppose there is another Academy in all the State that has made such wonderful success. The enrolment for the first year was 152 ; second year, 214, and third year 256. The school has paid all expenses and the interest on the debt since its beginning. BOARD. Board in private families, $6 to $7.50. Board in dormitory, $5.50. Room rent, fuel and lights, $1.50. All boarding students are expected to furnish sheets, pillow eases and pillow and two blankets.. Some of the teachers board in the dormitory and carefully look after the interest of the pupils; Fall term opens- iAugust 31 and closes December 18, 1903. Spring term begins December 28 and ends May 14, 1904. For further information write Prof. G. E. Lineherry, Winter ville, N. C. Ill Japan, with practically the same poor laws, there are only 24,- 000 paupers, while Great Britain had 1,000,000. A Japanese states man, on being asked to explain how they had so few paupers in propor tion to the population, replied that the Japanese drink tea and the British people alcohol. Many contend for “open com munion.” But where in the New Testament is such a thing taught ? Show us and we will be glad to teach and practice it.—Church Worl-cer. “I find the great thing in this world is, not so much where we stand, as in what direction we are moving.”
