N - ~Y LAWRENCE S. HOLT, JR., GIVES SIO,OOO TO UNIVERSITY. Fund to Help Needy Students to Secure College Education. £or. of The Glfeaner. . Chapel Hill, N. C., Oct. 28.-r President H. W. Chase announced today that the University of North Carolina has received from Law rence S. Holt, Jr., of Burlington, a gift of SIO,OOO to be used in helping provide a college educa tion for students who would not otherwise have the money to go to the university. The principal of the SIO,OOO will be established as a loan fund for worthy and needy students, and the income from the loans will be used for four scholar ships which will be awarded an nually to that member, man or woman, of each of the frehsman, sophmore, junior, and senior class es who shall be judged the most needy, deserving, and worthy. "It is my wish," said Mr. Holt, in making the gift to President Chase, "that no person shall re ceive one of these scholarships who would otherwise be able to attend the Univerity of North Carolina." The administration of-the fund will be in the hands of the presi dent, Business Manager, Charles T. Woollen, aud Dean M. C. S. Noble, of the school of education.' President Chase pointed ont to day the- double effectiveness of the gift which establishes a loan fund and provides schalorship at the same time. It is a generously conceived and finely planned gift," he said, "and, so far as I know, is nnique in the multiplied results it will achieve." Mr. Holt Is a graduate of the uuivarsity of the class of 1904 and has been in close contact with the university for many years. He has been prominently connected with cotton manufac turing interests in Alamance county and now lives at Burling ton. ■ ' What You Wish to Know About Hairy Vetch. ** The Progressive Farmer. Hairy vetch is by far the most vigorous grower of the more than 100 varieties of vetch kuown, and will htand cold and other adverse conditions better than probably any other variety. It is often known as "winter vetch" or '.'sand vetch". It belongs to the pea family and has the same inoculat ing bacteria as the Canada field pea, the English pea, or the sweet pea. (It does not have the same bacteria as the cowpea, however.) Inoculation, therefore, ean be se cured by Ming aoil from the family *-'• • . • y. ... , " - garden where English or sweet peas have been grown for years. Four or five hundred pounds of this soil per acre will give fair in oculation if sowed broadcast and covered immediately. - Hsiry vetch, if sowed for hay, should be sowed at the rate of about 20 to 30 pounds of seed per acre with two to two and one-half bushels of oats. This mixture often makes, on goOcT soil, two to three tons of hay per acre, which is of fine quality and readily eaten by all livestock. Instead 'of oats alone a mixture of one and a half to two bushels of oats and one-half bushel of wheat may be sowed with the vetch. The wheat, being stiller, helps to hold the vetch erect, thus making the cut ting easier. When sowed to be turned under for the improvement of the soil, 30 to 40 pounds of seed, or even more, should be sowed to the acre. Even for turning, grain should be sowed with )he vetch for the first •few years, or until the soil be comes well filled with inocula tion. x Atlantic Coast Inventors.

THE CRACK O'DOOM FOR NASTY CALOMEL Folks Abandoning Old Drag for "Dod son's Liver Tone," Here In South. Ugh! Calomel makes you sick. It's norrible! Take a dose of the dangerous drug tonight and tomor row you lose a day. Calomel is mercury! When it comes into contact with sour bile, it crashes into it, breaking it up. Then is when you feel that awful nausea and cramping. If you are s'uggish, if liver is torpid and bowels consti pated or you have headache, dizzi ness, coated tongue, if breath is bad or stomach sour, just try a spoonful of harmless Dodson's Liver Tune tonight. Here's my guarantee —Go to any drug store anl get a bottle of Dod son's Liver Tone for a few cents. Take a spoonful and if it doesn't straighten you right up and make you feel fine and vigorous, go back to the store and get your money. Dodson's Liver Tone is destroying the sale of calomel because it can not salivate or make sick. A dealer says "umbrellas are coming back". None of those that we over loaned out, however. In this country it's "Who's Who" but in central Europe it's Tlteh'e Vltcb". GRAHAM, N. C., THURSDAY.

Sxpreeelon Certainly Is Ancient, but It la Hard to Tall Wh.ro it " Originated. ** ■ Who first used the expression to "take the stump," the Nomad can not say, and would like to know. Horace Greeley employed it, saying that the "stump is the conservation of American liberties," some thing like that; but it was in cur rent use, if the Nomad is not mis taken, before Greeley was born, or at least before he ever began to write editorials, The dictionary in forms us that the use of the phrase was once peculiar to the United States, but that it is now commonly used in England. Naturally it does not mean #o much in England as it does in this country; it would have meant as much in the time of Wil liam the Conqueror, but nobody "took* the stump" then. That other phrase, to "stump" anyone to do a thing; in the sense of a challenge, is also American, and has a kindred origin. It suggests the practice of country boys when they wish to pro claim their prowess, of mounting the nearest stump and loudly defy ing all in hearing to do the thing that they can do. Both terms su£> gest the prominence of the* stumps of trees in the primitive American life. These stumps are often a desolate feature in the landscape, in new regions. But it would be a sad bereavement if there were no longer any stumps in the land I—Boston Transcript..

"Now," said the professor bland ly, addressing his class in political history at the United States, "let me test your general knowledge. Who was Richard M. Johnson?" Silence, deep and unbroken. "Well, then who was George ML Dallas?" No answer. "Dear me!" exclaimed the pro fessor, scratching one ear medita tively. "Who was Henry Wilson?" The members of the class stared blankly at each other. "Who was William A. Wheeler?" Not a peep. "My young friends," said the pro fessor, looting smilingly abont him, "let this be * warning to yon if yon error enter political life.
