Presi dent Harrison announces the South ern Railway Company has ' perma nently withdrawn, from participation In such rates from- points where they have been in effect by Southern Rail way to meet similar rates offered by competing lines. This announcement is In accord, anpe with the policy of President Har rison to do everything possible to dis courage the movement of people from the south. For a number ot years Southern Railway -has endeavored to discourage the offering of low colon. let rates from the south and has on ly placed them on sale at points where it was felt necessary to meet compe tlon. From this time on, however, nq such rates will be offered by Southern Railway regardless of any action that may be taken by. any other : Mm Southern Railway will continue . to offer ihomeseeker rates into the south and will do everything possible to encourage the1 coming Ot . desirable settlers to the territory along its lines. President Harrison feels that the south offers greater -opportunity than any other section and that people liv ing in the south cannot improve, their conditions by moving and that conse quently the decision to withdraw per manently any rates which might serve a an Inducement to me persons to leave the south in their Interest as well as in the general interest of the south and ot Southern Railway Com pany. ,. y' -'.

According to a statement by the N. C. : department of education there-were held in the state this spring county commencements for the ele mentary public schools in forty coun ties and there Is every indication that the number to be held next year wlW be not less than sixty. The Idea of the county commence ment has grown up in the last four years, according to the state depart ment having originated in this state, and has spread until nearly halt of the counties in the State are already holding them as annual affairs. It seems that the first county commence ment was held in Sampson county by Superintendent L. L.' Matthews in 1910 the commencement being at Au- tryvllle, it being a kind of co-opera tive commencement With a- half dozen or more neighboring schools partici pating. It was so successful that Superintendent Matthews- "presented his plan to the annual meeting of the county superintendents of the state that summer. The state department of education, the educational and sec ular press and the superintendents took the matter up and its remarkable growth la the result. ISamipson next spring, applied the single commence ment idea to the entire county, Wayne fell In line under 'Superintendent E. T. Atkins. . Then Davidson, Lee, Rich mond and Wilkes fell In line.. Then In 1912 there were ten full county com mencements and In 1913 twenty-three and In 1914 forty, with prospects for sixty or more next year. The educational authorities are de veloping this county commencement idea, especially because they have a tendency to standardize and unify the elementary schools, having county wide examinations for the gradua tion certificates from the seventh grade. Also the county commence ments provide educational pageants that stir enthusiasm ' for educational work and spread Inspiration for edu cational co-operation among all dal es ot the people, and offers greaiter Inducements for students to complete the seventh grades In the schools to get into th commencement, and add materially tJ the efficiency of rural education.
