N. C. as second class mail matter. Angus Dhu McLean, who wrougtfPN^orth Carolina's uniform eight months public school term out of a spec tacular legislative career, died in Raleigh Wednesday. He had served as U. S. Assistant Attorney General. In his death the State loses a useful citizen. The TIMES is delighted to note that Gov. Hoey has recignized Franklin County in the appointment of Dr. D. T. Smithwiek to membership on the Board of Directors of State Hospital in Raleigh. Dr. Smithwiek is a man of much experience and is greatly interested in public matters and will do credit to himself and the State in this appointment. Editor John Gold, of the Wilson Daily Times is to be congratulated upon the splendid special anniversary edition of his paper on August 23rd, commemorating the fiftieth anniversary of his management and the sev entieth anniversary of the establishment of the P. D. Gold Publishing Company by his father in 1867. . The special edition contained 46 pages and gave an intelli gent incite into his community. Under the management and editorship of Mr. Gold the Wilson Daily Times has made more progress the past year than any paper in the State, and is to be classed among the big and popular dailies. , ... A LITTLE STUDY MIGHT PRODUCE ECONOMY It seems that it would be in the interest of economy if the State Highwayvengineering department would make a more complete study of the streams in the hilly sections of the State. Within three miles of Louisburg where the forces made an especially nice job of rebuild ing a portion of a highway, they failed in providing space enough under the roadway to accommodate the water that flows down the adjacent c^eek during heavy rains. As a result during the past week the creek has risen to a depth of over four feet (lowing across the highway on three separate occasions, one of which washed away the major portion of the buttment to the bridge on one side and practically all the shoulder on the down stream side of the road for a good distance, and had it not been for the tar and gravel surface of- the road would have possible washed away a good bit of the road bed. This of course necessitated rebuilding the" buttment and the shoulders. Had a sufficient water way bepn provided when the road was reconstructed the past .spring this expense would have been saved, to say nothing of damage that will be done in the future, by the water continually washing across the road at each big rain. There is another damage the highway department does, unintentionally no doubt, by damming the road, and that is flooding the adjoining pasture lands of property owners along the stream. The speed and the forcg with which these streams rise^ and flow is unbelievable by persons who are not familiar with them and their habits. Other damage than this has been done at several places in the County. Franklin County has lost a lot of money when apparently abundant provis ions had been made to accommodate the water. The State could profit by making a study of these conditions and providing against this loss. ^ 1 - ? EDUCATION NEVER ENDS One of the wisest remarks we have read for a long time was made by a New York judge the" other day. "Only a clod speaks of his education in the past tense." In ruling that a trust fund established to "complete" the education of a boy should be continuous throughout the beneficiary's life, Surrogate Delehanty pojnted out that education is an unending, lifelong process of de velopment. p Education does not consist in filling a child's mind with knowledge. The discipline of formal study is merely laying the foundation of an education. The in telligent student brings away from school little more, at best, than an understanding of how knowledge may be acquired and from what sources. If he has been for tunate in his teachers, he will also have some compre hension of the relation of each kind of knowledge to all others. So equipped, one's education may be said to begin after he has finished school or college and tries to apply the knowledge and methods he has been taught, to the practical affairs of life and the art of living. He finds in his contact with his fellowmen new problems every day that were never mentioned in his textbooks. How well educated he finally becomes depends upon how well he succeeds in learning from his day-by-day experiences. FRANKLINTON NEWS I .NEWS FROM FRANKLINTON.
