treatment which is best suited
to their condition. He thinks
there oughc to be a general bull
X ding for industries for vocation
al training and such industrial
work as will be likely to educate
the prisoners and teach them a
trade, so that they will be able to
help themselves and their fami
les when they leave prison.
Above all, Mr. Lewisohn con
tends that a wage should be paid
to the prisoner. It should be a
fair wage and must be earned by
the work done by the prisoner;
and in order that prison labor
.' , should not interfere with out
side labor, the product of prison
labor should be used for the
0 needs of the State, in its prisons
and in other institutions, and if
there is a surplus of prison-made
goods in one State, they can be
used in other States, where
they are needed,
Another manifestly sound sug
gestion is that prisoners should
be examined when they enter
W prison as to their mentality and
other condition. ' If possible, the
cause which led the prisoner ?to
' commit the crime should be de
termined. He should be treated
accordingly, and placed at that
kind of work which he is able to
do, and the result of such exami
nation should otherwise be made
use of in the treatment of the
prisoner.

COURT WEEK FIFTY-SIX YEARS A60
Mr. W. W. . Presnell of Vilas,
hands us the following rather in
terestins article on Stonman's
raid through the South, which
we take pleasure in publishing:
Fifty six years ago today, it be-
ng the 28th of March 1865. In
the place of holding a superior
court for the transaction of the
business or tne county, general

Stonman with his command of
Cavalrymen of several thousand
came into Boone whooning. veil-
ng and shooting as though they
expected to meet an army of sev-
eral thousand soldiers, though
there were onlv about fif tv sol-
diers and forty or fifty citizens
in Boone, killing, wounding and
taking the most of the crowd
prisoners; thekilledwereEphram

..- W
Green of Blue Ridge, and John
Brown, son of Joseph, Sr. The
most of the soldiers wounded
and disabled were at home on
furlough. They with the ' citi-
zens were placed under guard in
a nen nearlv onnosite J. D. Coun.
cill's home, putting a strong
guard of soldiers around them,
Most of them were kept prison-
ers till the 29th of March, when
several of the citizens and a few
of the soldiers were released.
Some of the soldiers decided it
was not wise to show light to an
army without men or guns, so
E. J. Norris of Co. D, 58th Reg.
and J. D. Bryan of Co. D 1st N.
C. Cavalry called on their feet
and legs to take them away, Capt,

The Doughton-Campbell con-

WATAUGA AND YADKIN MAY BE
"Tudnnn" "Pmdiiipr'
(From The Statesvllle Daily )
Folks are beginning to realize
that homes for teachers are as
necessary as horses for preach
ers. Since tne days wnen the
teacher "boarded among the
scholars" up to now that most
important part of human affairs
has been left to do as best he
could for himself, with little to
do with. For some years it has
been a problem to get homes for
the teachers for our town schools
and with lengthening school
terms the same problem is af
fecting the country. Homes for
the teachers is the modern solu
tiona home for the teachers to
be a part of the school buildings
ust as a "parsonage, "a "manse"
or wnatever they may call It, Is a
necessary part of the church.
Lumberton the other day voted
$30,000 for a site and a teachers'
home.
So far so good; but this paper
akes opportunity now to enter
protest against the name tacked
on the teachers' home. "Teacher
age" ,may be fitting but It isn't
euphonious; the world somehow
doesn't sound good and doesn't
appeal. But if nothing else will
do if no other word than "tea-
cherage can be found for the tea
cher's home then by the same
token the preacher's tp m e
should be called a preacYge.
We have manses, oftenwhen Ae
buildings are a Py Jiy ontht
name; we nave parsonages, rec
tories and what not, all places
where the preachers stay. If tea-
cherage must be the name for
the place where the teacher lives,
then preacherage should be the
universal name for all preachers'
homes; and by and by if they
should determine to make an in
stitution out of editors and build
homes for them the habitat of
the newspaperman will be the
editorage.
