Charles Calvin Wright was
born August 14, 1862 and; there
fore, would have been 7L years
of age bad he lived until the
14tb of next month.
. On September 23, 1891,' he
was married to Misa Jennie
Catherine Land, who with fonr
sons survive him. The tour sons
are Prof. J. T. Carr Wright, pro
fessor of mathematics at Appa
lachian State Teachers College,
Boone; Prof. David R. Wright,
princlp^ of Traphin high school;
Prof. Clyde R. Wright, teacher
of agriculture at Mountain View
high school, and Calvin C.
Wright, a student at State Col
lege, Raleigh.
The four hoys have taken and
are taking a leading part In the
educational progress of this sec
tion. following closely in the
footsteps of their distinguished
father.
Mr. Wright was called to the
superintendency of the Wilkes
school system in 1899
when he was hut 36 years of age
and served continuously with
honor and distinction until he re
tired from office on June 22 of
this year.
Probably no man in the historj'
of the state or the entire coun
try has ever had the distinction
of continuous service as head of
a school system lor so long a
period. He rounded out 34 years
last month.
Taking office at the time Gov
ernor Charles Brantley Aycock,
North Carolina's great education
al governor, began preaching the
doctrine of equal opportunity
through education for every boy
and girl in the state, Charley
I Wright, as he was known to
I hundreds of intimate friends.
I played a leading part in the pro-
I gress of education in Wilkes uu-
; til his death.
During his tenure of office, the
one-teacher log .school uouse van-
I ished and in their places came
tlie consolidated schools wit'r,
: modern buildings and adequate
j equipment. He took a leading
role in every step for the en-
I largement of educational oppor
tunity.
Mr. Wright affiliated with the
j Democratic party and stood high
' in the councils of the party or
ganization. He was, as he often
admitted, a real partisan, but
I divorced partisan politics from
his school activities probably as

A fisherman spied a snake

tried unsuccessfully by prodding
and other means to make the
snake release its prey; finally he
pulled out a flask and poured a
little liquor in the snake's mouth.
The snake dropped the frog ahd
slithered away.
Some time later, the fisherman
felt a tug at his trousers, and
found the snake, looking up ex
pectantly—another frog in its
