Miss Etta R. Spier, Goldsboro. ' ; : It was decided to offer a prise for the best college song submitted to a committee appointed for that purpose. Miss Ocland Barnett, of Shelby,-was made chairman of the committee. It was a matter of comment Among those present that the spirit which tVilmated the meeting - was one of service to theo college and to the State; to the college by furnishing means to bright and ambitious young women who could not without aid secure an education, and to the State by train ing more worker for service to the 'State. This is fitting since he to whom this memorial is dedicated gave his life In service for others. If "Spirit Is a substance' wherein thinking, knowing, and the power of moving do subsist," then the work un dertaken by the association must be speedily accomplished. GUILFORD.

The annual ad dress will be d'ivered this year by Correspondence 1 The Observer. Chapel Hill, May 30. Bruce Stroud, the 16-year-old son of Mr. It. L. Stroud, is a genius. Others may buy tlO.OOO automobiles and yearihlro French chauffeurs to run them. but brtiee Stroud cares not for such things when he can manufacture au tomobiles for himself. While visit ing at Morehoad City last summer he bought a small gasoline engine, whipped It to Chapel Hill, and upon his return he proceeded to build for himself an automobile of the most modern pattern. His machine was completed Wednesday night and yes terday he made a triumphal tour of the town, followed by the entire pop ulation of small boys, together with some of the students and even some of the gray-beards. The little en gine puffed at though it were deter mined to do its full duty, the proud youngster st In state upon the ma chine guiding It by strings attached to the front axle Just as a kid guides a sled, and though the machine. Just as some of Its big brethren do, bumped into a tree or two, ran Into several ditches and stopped at some of the most Inopportune moments, the tour came off on schedule time without serious accident. The young fellow says that this was merely a trial trip, so to speak; that he expects to mount the machine upon rubber tlred wheels and fix It so that the hind wheels do not have to be Jacked up every time he wants td start It, Mr. I.

The executive committee of the t'nlverslty Young Men's Christian Assorlatlon has adopted the follow ing resolutions expressive of their appreciation of the services of Mr. F. B. Kankln: "As secretary of the University Young Men's Christian Association for the last two years Mr. Kankln has filled a dltllcult office with rare abil ity and success.

Com mencement being now over, the ae tivlties have- turned to clearing out the oldest bull ling on the premises, namely, Friend's Hall, which was erected in 1835-JJ. , It la almost matter of surprise to rind the struc ture of this building so substantial after It has atoad tinm for about three quarters of a century. . Its con dltion Is another proof of the sub stantial character of our forefather. who built 'even better than they knew. Those who in the early day saw the structure rise would now, were It possible, rejoice to see thia historic building renewed and start ed on another century of service. The new internal walla or partitions. maple floor, eastern porte-cochere and steam heating apparatus will quite modernize the old structure, and be a source of comfort to the Inmates, which the founders neither knew nor desired. A pleasing feature of commence ment this year 'was the large, attend ance of alumni and the genuine in terest the association is taking in the welfare of Guilford. The fund established by the class of 1904 in memory of one of its number, Mr. Marvin Hardin, who died last Octo ber, is an example of the concern which the alumni feel In the col lege. While ihe class of ,1904 was not a large one It raised $1,200 in memory of Mr. Hardin, and intend for the proceeds to be given as a scholarship to the sophomore who makes the best rerd during . that year, the same to De .ivananie lnttn senior year, and only on condition khat the winner spend thte junior and senior years at Guilford. The alumni association adopted a plan by which It i .'ntended to aid the building of the new library; and It Is believed that such assistance will enal)o the trustees to proceed very soon' with the erection of the libra ry. At the annual election of officers of the assoviau jn, Mr. L. Lea Wnite, of Jamestown, was elected president and Miss Alice Cartland, or Ureeiut boro, secretary. It is Interesting to note that Mr. White won the Haver lord College scholarship ot liuu in ilfOl and tmt Miss Camand won .the Hryn Mawr sen jiareinp of 1400 in the same year. Among the alumni present oaay be mentioned Mr. Kearney Hend ricks, of Asneboro. a young man of distinction as a civil engineer. Mr, W. C. Hammond, also of Asheboro, the clerk of the court of Randolph county, and Mr. Eugene J. Coltrane, superintendent of public instruction ot the same county, were present and muniiested great pleasure in the commencement exercises. Mr. 11 Sinclair Williams, of Concord, was present and served most acceptably as president of the alumni associa tion. Others present were: Mr. V'er non L. Brown, of Greensboro; Miss Susanna Osb.irne, of Centre; S. Ad dison Hodgin and Miss Annie F. Petty, Hiram U. Worth and Mrs. Da vid White, of Greensboro, and Mr. Henry A. White, of High Point, who was elected a member of the board of trustees. The trustees of the college held a meeting In the afternoon of com mencement day.

Our little daughter had a case of ty phoid fever when she was three years old. It settled in her right leg, th leg swelling up Just above her knee and burst, and pieces of bone cam out. Wre had three or four doctors attend her, but they could do her no good at alL They said there would have to be an operation, and we took her to Darlington, S. C, and had an operation performed. W waited about four months and took her to Charleston Hospital for another operation and kept her there thre months. Dr. Simmons, th head sur geon there, said the leg would have to be amputated, but I would not consent to It. I brought her back to Darlington and had another Dera tion performed there. I waited four or five months and took her to the Memorial Hospital In Richmond. Va., ana naa an operation performed. She stayed there one month and five days and cam back apparently well. In eight months after her return her leg swelled and burst again In th same place. Pieces of bone were dls charged. We called in the doctor of tnia place. Eh had a hemorrhage from the lungs. The doctor said her leg would have to com off. I went to the. drug store, got six bottles of Mrs. Joe person's Remedy and com menced giving It to her according to directions. In two weeks' time sh could get out of bed. By th time sh had taken th six bottles the leg was . healed up. Up to this time sh haa taken twenty-eight bottles. Her leg seems perfectly welL She goes to school every day, and haa only a slight limp. Her general health la better than K has ever been. Sh Is still taking th Remedy, as we wish to be sur that all th poison Is eradicated from her system. Be fore taking your Remedy she was In bed nearly all the time, and " could scarcely walk without the aid of crutches. ' Now sh haa no need of them. - . Sh la now ten years of age. I consider your Remedy the .finest preparation In the world, and th greatest boon to suffering humanity. Yours sincerely, MRS. E. F. KELLY. . B. F.
