The day baa come when few peo ple believe in fairies; none believe o witches and the idle dreamer is Dated, but, who has not at some time, alter hayiug spent hours in the study of a single sub ject, been greatly aided by a long restful slumber? In some instan ces the sleeping mind may satis factorily solve the troublesome question. Realizing that the time for the separation of this class was drawing near, 1 began won dering where we should be and what would be our occupation twenty years hence. When there seemed to be no solution to such a problem, 1 fell asleep and work ed out an answer. Judgement day had come and the Appalachian Training School Class of 1913 bad been taken in to a separate court for trial. An angel served as attorney, and St. Peter as judge. The court wus by no means formal or se vere, and we were allowed to greet each other aud converse to gether as much as we liked. When this edd court was called to order, and the book contain ing the name and record of each was opened, it was announced that no act of our lives would be taken into consideration except the deeds of the twenty years. since we bad left the Appalachi an Training School. J. A. Ro land was the first called upon to tell the story ol his earthly pur suits. Mr. Roland said he bad spent four years in the Universl ty of North Carolina and two years at Harvard University. Al ter leaving Harvard he was Pro fessor of Mathematics at Trinity College for eight years. Just here he said something iu an under tone about lite not being com plete until then: something about spending a year abroad, and we understood one word, Eddie, am ong the c o n f u s e d sentences. 'Since then," he .said modestly, ''I have been president, of Blan dolph College at Boone, N C." Immediately following Mr. Ro land, Eddie Kerley came, to the front. As was her custom, she re lated none oi her experience ex cept what hhe was forced to in order to answer all questions asked her. She had spent part of a year in Davenport College, but had tired of school; bad stay ed at home most of the time un tfl she decided to accompany Mr. Roland on his tour around the world. Yes, she had written a few short stoiies ond articles for magazines. We knew from her countenance that her even tem per had never been spoiled. , Bynum Hodges was the next name called, but be bad gone off into another court to see a friend, and would be away lor two min utes, so Benjamin Frederick Cook was disposed of next. He came forward in a matter-of-fact way; told the events of his 20 year ea rner hurriedly and somewhat im patiently. After leaving the Ap palachian Training School' Fred had taught two years, and then went to Wake Forest College where he remained three years When he left college be accepted a position as cashier of the Wa tauea County Bank, and still holds that position, but he bad become greatly interested in in ventions. No. be had never mar ried, but might have it he had been allowed to associate more with the girls when he was in the Training School. Fred might have told something more of his successful work but when he bad reached this point, Bynnm Hod ges hurriedly rushed in. The wise angel knowing that if be were al lowed to leave again, he would be hard to And, took ad vantage ot the opportuoty and called By- num Collis Hodges to tell of bis earthly career. He began with '0, hollo, here! I've bad a good time. I've played base ball rome and the violin a good deal." He did not graduate from the Agri cultural and Mechanical College because life among men only be came so monotonous that he re turned to bis borne near Boone, and there iu company with his wife, he bad lived happily ou the farm.' Haying finished this story he hurriedly walked away sing ing: ''My wife has gone to the country, Usrrah!" Pearl ritory next seated herself in the vacated chair. What a conttast these two noble lives made! Pearl's view of life cannot be better expressed than by quo ting these lines from her lavorite poem: "Lite is real, life is earnest and the grave is not the goal.,: She had chosen to spend little of her time enjoying the lighter things of life, and the peace that comes from doing one's best had been her's. 8 be told nothing of her work as a teacher, but every one of the class had heard of the great work she had done for bet terment of woman's education, and knew that she had been rec ognized throughout the state of North Carolina as a woman of power. Jewel Deal, who has been work ing diligently on a piece of em broidery, was asked for next. Jewel was graduated from Greens boro College in three years alter leaving the Training School, She then taught music two years 'Since then I have made home' making a profession, and I al ways find some spare time for embroidery, art and music." Don Jay Uorton had been rath er impatient before this time, and when be could bear the sua pense no louger, came forward and asked for a hearing. Whep he had taken from his pocket a piece of cotton rope and a rusty nail, with which he could give bis hands some employment, he sea ted himself and began slowly, giving tn every detail the story oi nis me. oummeu up, mis is what he said, "I went to Trinity College oue year, then to the A. and M. one year, when 1 decided that I was needed at home. So I went back to the farm and have been there e er since. People say that I have been highly success. ful, and 1 have certainly been happy. The next name called was Lil- lie Belle Campbell, but belore she could answer, Mr. Horton arose and said that he thought mar riages were made in heaven, and "if so," be demanded, "why did n't you change her name to Mrs Don Morton five years ago? The court was called to order, and LUlie narrated the events of her past life. She was graduated from the Cincinatti Conservatory of muBic in 1916, and then went to Germany where she studied music a year. During the next ten years she taught music. Four years of this time she was head of the music department of the Appalachian Training Schoo) and Blandolph College. For the last five years she had not taught but had been busy enough for time not to drag. The next name enrolled was Iredell Winfred Woody, but he was so silent that the presiding nncel called for a volunteer to tell Mr. Woody's history, and Mr. tJoines offered to tell all he knew about Dr. Woody s adven tures. After one year at the Uni versity of North Carolina, be went to Johns Hopkins Univer sity and graduated at the bead of his class. Since that time bo bad made Baltimore his home; ' the first thirteen years as a prac ticing physician, since then has been President of Johns Hopkins Cniyersitv. By way of conelu lion, Mr. Joiner added: "You see he has grown bald in rbe service of humanity. When Dr. Woody's history bad been finished, the angel asked Mr. Joins what be bad been dying during the past twenty years. M r. J oiues answer ed that be had been a class mate of Dr. Woody's all through col lege and for thirteen years since his partner; in fact, until Dr Woody was chosen President ol Johns Hopkins, they had shared everything together except borne life. William Bryant Austins name was heard, and with no hesitan cy or look of embarrassment Mr. Austin took the chair. Yes, be bad studied law, aud after leay ing the University of North Car olina iu 1917 be practised law in Raleigh for six years. When Boone had grown into a busy city, be located there. He bad been a member of Congress aud later judge of the Supreme Court. We could not understand the ast question wsked, but the re ply -was. Hating the uume ol old bachelor as 1 always did ol course I have not remained one.' Hattie Brown Swift, trying hard to wear a serious express ion, deliberately accepted the of fered chair. When asked how she had spent the last twenty years, she answered in a mock- serious tone, "I've spent about half of that time wondering if 1 should be called to be a mission ary, and the other halt wonder ing bow my wings should be at tached." Discou raged at such progress, the good Saint Peter requested the presiding angel to read the remaining records. This in wbat we heard. "Hattie Brown Swift educated at the Ap palachian Training School and Merideth College; teacher four . i r vears. auinor oi a numoer oi humorous books and poems; in terested in politics, spent three years lecturing on woman's place in the political world. Haying finished Miss Swifts history; the recorder turned to anotner page and read, "Alonzo Clark Payne, educated at Wake Forest Col lege, admitted to the bar in 1918; afrer four successful years found his real mission; took a two years course in theology; be. came one of the greatest evange HstH America has produced; wor ked mainly iu the Middle West." When we had heard this story, we looked at each other in arnnze ment and thought of the noble mission our mischievous, fun loving.classmate, bad fulfilled. When the tbirteeu tormerclase mates bad been given the final trial, aud each had heard the merited applause "well done," the felling of pride 1 had always had was greater than ever. A feeling of shame arose when I re membered bow little I had acorn plisbed, but I listened, ' for one time in silence, to these words, "Eugenia Watson interested in everything; made a specialty of changing her opinion of all things onceeacn day; remained unmar ried, but not from choice. My joy was boundless when 1 heard these words "well done, thou hast been an old maid, but it was not thy fault, aud I will make thee ruler over a man or two."

Tkat FRm Flan. Cor. Democrat. Mr. Euitoh: The railroads of North Carolina bave sent broad cast a carefully prepared circular headed "No Bad Faith," and which is intended to convince the people of North Carolina that they did not intend to Sim-flam the Governor and Legislature last February when they induced to adjourn by promising to "cor rect the present excessive and discriminating freight rates." Well, maybe, they "never meant todo it," but they still charge the same excessive rates in North Carolina as they did when the Legislature was in session. But, in the Missouri rate case, de cided by the United States Su preme Court June 16, it was beld that "the rates contested by the railroads as confiscatory, were valid" because "the railroads had presented too general data ou which to base a claim that their property was being taken without compensation through the operation of the new rates." Now, as the same court had held only a few days before that, until Congress exercised its right to fix all inter-State rates, each State might fix iutra-State rates aud, to a certain extent, inter- State rates also: and since the present Congress is not likely to exercise its ngnt to nx inter state rates, the railroads in North Carolina may find that it would have been wiser if they had tried a little harder to ad just this difference with the State authorities than apparently they hare. It is simply prepos terous to charge more to hau freight from St; Louis to Hot Springs, N. C, than to Aeheviile and more to Asbeville than to Morgantou, and more to States ville than to Salisbury, and more to Greensboro tha,n to Salisbury and so on to more distant North Carolina points fjill Virginia is reached when, Id, and behold, the rates are cheaper still. The people of N;orth Carhlina are not fools, however badly they may bave bean humbugged iu the past. A day of reckoning is sure to come in 'the long run; and when Governor Craig calls the legislature intp extra session to consider this matter, the flim flamming may be found to have worked in a direction never in tended by our virtuous and mag nanimous common carriers. Ben jamin Franklin found out ft cen tury and a half ago that what ever may be said qf honesty as a principle, it was at any rate the best policy. Maybe the railroads will come to th$ same conclu sion by the tfme the extra ses sion adjourns. The Bible tells us BARGAINS ! m I ' Clothing Hats Shoes Dry Goods and Notions.
