AN ERROR CORRECTED Last week, as an it.-m of news, The Democrat stated that the hoard o1 county commissioners was responsi ble for the new survey- on highway No. <59, from Todd to Boone, and tin paragraph has caused quite a riffli among the people in general and tin board of commissioners in particu iar. Really the board had nothing whatever to do with it. but We gavt it as it was given to us by a nurnbei of citizens, but since hearing the statement of the gentlemen who flat I u /lpnin/i ' ... ? ..-T.-.g HlWlg MIKUCVCl U do with the transaction. The Demo crat is glad to make the correction A long petition, bearing the name of many citizens on the original a: o? well as the lower route was sent t< the state highway commission askim that the survey be changed, thei: claim being that it was the most prac ileal as well as the cheapest of ih two, claiming that a better gradi could be had and that the roa? would be some shorter. The petitio; was presented to the members of th hoard for their signatures, but the frankly refused to sign it, notwith standing the fact that one of th members, Mr. Newton Howell, live on the lower survey, which is no> - being made, and would be materiall beneficial should the lower route b adopted. Sixty-nine promises to be one c the best roads in the mountains an we hope the people will become r< onciled, regardless of where the roa is finally located. VATA An Independent Fam boo: 900 MARK PASSED I AT STATE NORMAL n- i 1 Increase of 40 Per Cent Over First Term Last Summer and 565 Per Cent Over First Term in 1921 i i- The opening week at the Appa's Iachian State Normal has been an 'e unusually busy one, but in spite of i - , ?..vA|nviv->ii> uu^v ituniuer rege; istered, the work has starred off welt 1 The number at this time is the nn; thoughl-of number of 914. and there (j ] are a few others to he enrolled. This is nearly 40 per cent more than the " | number in the first summer term last ] year and more than 5f>5 per cent e I over that in the first summer term in 4,1921. This unusual growth has ne! cessitatcd the addition of quite a el number to the. faculty. ^ ! Some have been inquiring as to the r : reasons for this increase of more o | than 250 over last year's first sums j mer term and the marveous growth il in so short a time, and the following a i reasons have been suggested: - First, the unequaled summer clij male by any other summer school in 0 i the state, the temperature seldom goii | ing above <S0, and usually ranging -j from 00 to 75, often going to 50. s' Then the cost is unusually low, the -j expenses of those who board in the r! dormitories being $112.00 for the r term of six weeks, including board - and fees, and the board in the town is the cheapest of any school town, 1 Another reason is the fine faculty, f the equal of any in the country. The ? Hating of the Normal by the Amerit can Association of Teachers' Col i n;gc,?i ctnu ixurmai ocnoois, owing: to ! the high class of work done, this i work being accepted as standard f normal college by any teachers' coli lege or normal in the country because * this Normal is a member of the association. 1 Again the splendid organization of - the Normal and the high goal and i fine ideals it has set to be reached. 1 And also the fine atmosphere and - splendid spirit that prevails on the campus, among faculty and students. And finally the co-operation of the - town and the churches of the town; * hoarding those students for whom - there is not room in the dormitories, - and the kind and cordial welcome they - extend to the students. From the above facts it lias sug1 gcsted that the summer school of the i Appalachian State Norma) is destined to he one of the very 1.*; r.v/t-in 1 the state, if the proper state authorir ties will consider its possibilities and - give the equipment sufficient to take care of these rapidly increasing num c ners. n tin* tow.n <lid not open its ? . doors to take in the students the ! Normal could not at all take care of the large number it has. M inisiers Welcome Students The following ministers of the j 1 own and other places' have visited - j the summer, school and welcomed the ; student body attend the church ' services: Rev. jNI. B. Woosley, pastor rj of the Methodisi church; Rev. F. M - lluggins, pastor of the Baptist ? church; Rev. R. N. Baldwin, pastor of the Advent Christian church, and * Rev. .1. Fremont Whitman, of Minneapolis-, Minn., who is holding revival service^ <ii the town at this time. Laxton Was 900th to Register Among- the student body, Allen j Laxton, of CollettsviMc, Caldwell - county, has the distinction of going 1 to the 900th mark, and Miss Ethel Covington, of Rockingham, Richmond = county, has the honor of being 901st. Entertainment The Normal is using its best efforts to furnish the students with pleasing and wholesme entertainment along with their college work, > and help them to get all needed and t desired recreation consistent with - their best, interests. On the past Sat' urdav night a musical was given con~ i sisting of several numbers by the i normal string band, several violin J solos by Miss Snodgrass, a very fine - vii>iuu?i ox rami esse c, a iniiuoer ox r vocal selections, and a number by a i male quartet. r Tribute to Prof. Dougherty On Friday {luring the chapel period - a mo>t interesting event was a talk > by Prof. 0 W. Johnson, of Elon Col. - lege, a teacher in the summer school . at the Normal. Prof. Johnson, said s that he spoke as a professor, alumnus s and as representative of the trustees > and faculty of Elon College. He gave r a brief outline of history of Presir dent B. B. Dougherty, and then an. nounced that the degree of doctor of p litcrarafe had been conferred upon e President Dougherty by Elon College tl at its recent commencement. Dr. a Harper stated that the degree was e conferred upon Prof. Dougherty bey cause of his "signal service in the 1- field of educational statesmanship." e At the close of Prof. Johnson's talk, s the great audience gave round after v round of applause. y President Dougherty, now Dr. e Dougherty, sat quietly before the 900 students and a faculty of 25, rcp>f resenting many of the largest and d best institutions in America. As the 2- faculty a lid student body arose and d cheered Dr. Dougherty simply arose and bowed, but said not a word.

The long-continued drought I broken in most parts of the state, not. only gave the tobacco that has been planted a chance to grow, but it encouraged the farmers to plant more. | A Heppeiwhite dining table, aid I to have been the property of Thomas Jefferson, the third president of the United States, was sold recently ; through a Durham antique shop.

OWF.N While the old aristocracy rested its j claims upon its blood, the new ari-j i stocracy "interprets itself in terms i of love," Dr. William Rusel! Owen, > of Macon, (la., told the students of ; Wake Forest C pi lege in his com' mencement ennon delivered last j week. ; "The old aristocracy," Dr. Owen' i said, "used to ask whether your j blood was blue, the new aristocracy asks how much good you can do. The I old aristocracy asked, 'W hat, is your coat of arms?' The now i 1 asks. 4What is the course of your | armgV Can you lift and love and lend j 1 a hand?' We used to wonder what kind of Idood flows in all our veins;! I now we wonder whether all in vain i i flows our blood. We used to ask I j what are the descendants; now we; i ask who are your dependants. "The old aristocrary said, 'Show : i man your greatness and your glory.' The aristocracy of the cross callj men to rule the world with genii*-: ; ttess and goodness." Dr. Owen told the students that i ithose who have tightly interpreted the dying word- of the Christ: "1'Nitli ! or. forgive ilieni tor they know not! what they do,"' have ''constituted the i broth* r i?-i! of reconciliation between God and man-?they have established an actual aim umvcr.-a] spirit of in-j ifeVnaticual comrade-hip through the' ; communion. of Mis church and i:i this 1 [ oar day they have focused the hope of the world unnn the breaking down of a final federation of peace." j Emphasizing the functions of the: N.-. .trene 'doctrine among present-! day men. Dr. Ow en cited the down-J fail of the Mouse of Hohenzollern; as due to the prayerful meekness of j "the gentle generalissimo of the ai-; j lied armies, Marshal Ferdinand I Fceh." J "Nietzsche," he said, 'sneered at oesus oecause tic naa given humanity i a 'slave religion.' He ridiculed theJ I the meek because he cried, "Your! I yielding is your soul!' But the super-. {man of the Hoheiizollerns has been beaten to exile in the castle of Doom by the fervent and childlike prayers of the gentle generalissimo of the al- ( lied army. Marshal Foch." "And what shail we say of this unique, the catholic, this universal man (Christ)," Dr. Owen continued. ' j "Born in mystery, reared in obscuri- L ' ty. suddenly come to perfect bloom 1i i as quietly as had the purple lilies of j; | His own Syrian fields. We cannot i I think of Him as any man, but as the ' Man head and shoulders above every ] man.
