COI.1V MINING PLANT
FOR THE ISLAM) OF 81 MATRA.
R) Iha AuM.ito.1 Pr.-aa 1
The Hague. Netherlands, May 7. A
big order for gold mining plant is likely
to be placed In Aniorfcri shortly hy the
Dutch government. This plant ia re
quired for the important gold mining
enterprise that has juat been under
taken in the province of Denkoi len,
on the uland of Sumatra. If thia state
eiplditation seheme prores successful
of which there appears to be every
irospeet It should bring largs sums
nto the coffers of the heavily burdened
treasury of the colony and help to pay
for the big naval and military rein
forcements that are declared to he a
necessity of the near future. Gold
bearing ore has been proved to a value
of 8,010,000, and eiperta report that
there ts probably another $.12,000,000
worth of gold ia the fields.
The Drat year's expenditure is esti
mated st some $240,000, and the aeeond
rear's at some JISO.000, the largest item
of expense being the necessary ma
chinery. Dutch industry is nnable it
self to provide this highly specialised
plant and Germany, where the order
would no doubt normally be placed, is
too much engaged ia other directions.
A State engineer ia expected to arrive
here with ore aamplee early In May,
which aamplee will then be duly sub
mitted to American sad British manu
facturers to serve aa basis for definite
tenders. Seeing, however, that British
industry; la an largely monopolised with
the manufacture of munitions of war,
it is pretty certain the order, to a valae
of some hundred thousaad dollars or
acre, will he placed ia the United
Btatea.

ration ill a private dining room at the
Hotel Kairfai laat night. In the courae
of the informal meeting following the
dinner, plans were discuased for im
proving the curriculum of the college,
with a view to equipping more thor
ouglily the men graduating from the in
atitution to handle any contingency that
may ariae in connection with their work
in various engineering fields, and s Com
roittee of three waa appointed to col
leet atiggeations for tho improvement of
the curriculum and report back to the
association at ths next meeting early in
tt.e fall. These suggestions, after they
have been approved by the association
will 1 submitted to the faculty of the
college for consideration. The commit
tee appointed by I'resident B. M. Wag
staff is composed of the following: W.
I. Faucett, chief engineer of the Sea

Letter From Klddlck.
It waa anticipated that Profeasor W.
(V Hiddick, of A. and M. College, would
b present at the smoker. Professor
Hiddick, however, was unable to leave
Ha'eigh. but an interesting letter to the
iisaoc lat ion from him waa read by E.
I' Rngwell, aecretary of the organiza
tion. In ths course of his letter, Pro-f.-ior
Kidiluk had the following to
sa y i
"If I were present at your meeting
and should be called upon to make any
remarks, I would talk to the boys about
the need of self confidence and pi ide in
their profession, or, as the hmih put
it, '1Kspnt de corps.' I believe that
your supreme obligation la to the com
inuuity in which you live and to your
selves, and when you perform thia
duty successfully, you are doing the col
lege more good than you can possibly
do in any other way."
The writer emphasized thnt the A.
and M graduate should never permit
himself to gnln an Impression that his
education Is not aa thorough as that
of the grnduate of a classical college.
"In addition to the mental training,"
the letter continued, "our boys have
aeijuired a profession which enables
them to go out Into the world snd take
care of themselves, and at the same
time be active agents in developing the
Ht:ite and community in which they
live."
Preparadneea and the Eagiaeer.
The question of preparedness and ths
part the engineer has to play la the
general program was ths theme oi dis
cussion on tho part of several speakers.
Among those present at the am.ok.or were
some who, ia their college' days, woa
renown oa the gridiron and diamond.
Among the speakers of the evening were
Vance Bykes, star tackle of ths teams
of 1903 "fl and 1007; Joe Oulley, cap
tain of the football team of 1903; I. II.
Farmer, second baaemaa of ths base
ball team of 1907, and, W. L. Dardea,
half back oa the football team of 1903.
It was voted that the annual meet
ing of the association next fall be held
either at the Chamberlain Hotel at Old

Durham, of the State Auditor's Depart
uicnt, Raleigh, aaade the commencement
address at Whir Oak Arademv oa Fri
day and he asade some speech He has
a fine voice with aa abundance of
magnetism aad his address was chock
fall of common sense eipreesed in so
common war.
Dr. T. M. Jordan, of the Mate De
part meat of Health, who is conducting
a health eamMiara ia Blaulea, upon ia
rrtatioa also spoke. The doctor, wrta
a geaial smile aa his fare, dressed old
statistics in sack attractive costumes
that he nude them real living interest
tag flgarws and hia hearers heard htm
with aseat delight. The doctor by his
thorough kawwfedare. tact aad Trajaa
tike efforts ts doing wonderful work.
He ia deliveries; the good a He's getting
results.
Tke picnic dianer was also oae of tke
attract loss that was shared ia by all.
Here Is what "Oeae." who was there
aad aired arp oa the speeches, the tesnpt
ing v urn rfa from the heavily ladea baa
kets, containing the best products of ok)
madra, aad beak cat la the sunshine of
the pretty girla, had to aay about the
trip:
White Oak Academy has juat been
celebrating the occasion of the winding
up of the past year's work, with muale
debating, declaiming, oratory and pic
n icing lea there were a goodly lot
ho sauntered over to that neighbor
hood on Friday the f'h Not being
vaccinated against snythlng save for
typhoid and small poi noue proved I in
mune to the general good humor that
prevailed in the place. We helped our
selves to the fellowship of White's Creek
township.
When Mr. Baxter Durham had finish
ed his address but juat a minute
must not make so great haste. It s a
failing common to many to hurry on
to a fine picnic dinner Vet I am sure
there were none at White Oak that day
with such a keen anticipation for the
feed, as not to wait most willingly to
hear all that Mr. Durham had to say
'The courage of the couuaon place' ts a
topic which none jf ua found very bor
ing or rather It did Ix.re iato con
sciousness of those who were privileged
to hear the leading address of the pro
gram. When M. Durham had fniahed
hia address let me continue- the good
people of White Oak and the surround
Ing country opened np their baskets and
the feast was spread. This feed O,
you have been to picnic dinners before.
Well just let your mind wander over
the various onea to which you have been,
select the very best which your memory
brings before you and think of it for
a while. Do you remember the chicken
and barbecue and pie and cake which
you know t..cref Now juat you add
about fifty per rent to all those things
--there you have a fairly good idea of
the enjovvnent that ass ours.
"After tllnner everybody sort o' Is red
around over the grounds, aa usual, till
they began to become accustomed to
the unusual fullness that was generally
felt. Thus all were assembled again
to take in the remarks of Dr. Jordan
who is conducting the health campaign
in Bladen county and who had been in
vited to have something to aay. The
good doctor surely whooped things up
ia the line of disease prevention. We
people of Bladen are especially interest
ed in this work and consider ourselves
entitled to a great big brass button, be
cause of being the first to organise a
health campaign in our particular way.
Dr. Jordan Is a most interesting lecturer
on things pertaining to public health,
and can hold an sudieaee as well as
anyone you will come across, la this
instance he touched oa the duty of the
Individual to the community and the
community to the individual respective
ly, then he bore down heavy on disease
prevention as a much neglected unit in
education, developing the idea of guod
citizenship fro.n ii public health stand
point. He also threw several pretty
bouquets to White Oak Academy be
eSuae of their lelng the first, to hi
knowledge, who have been progressive
enough..!.! have a public health address
in a commencement program.
"Kliznbethtown follows suit in that
they will have the doctor to talk to
them iu their commencement next Kn
day.
"Just take a look at the war Bladen
doea, and go tlu.j and do likewise."
