It Is probable. If the writer'* per sonal views were consulted, that the Country Farm Lite School, which 1b now agitating the public mind, would be considered later on, but as my reasons mfght not be considered potent and knowing as I dp that the people of Beaufort County are too progressive to throw away a good thing that is actually given to them, which virtually makes the school a certainly, It only remains to be considered where the school should be situated and why the pro posed situation is desirous. Located within the Incorporate limits of Bath is a tract of level, fer tile land which is at the disposal of the commissioners of said town. The land can be worked to a very high state of cultivation, having a splen did clay foundation, easily drained and 1? eepeclally adapted to the de monstration work which will be re quired of the school. This land, or as much as may be necesanry will be offered as the Aral Inducement and others will follow as It becomes necessary. The erroneous statement has gain ed credence that we are Indolent, unprogresslve and not altogether law abiding cltlsens, which atat*? ment I do not wleh to contradict, ex cept for the benefit of the unsophis ticated. \ writer aald ef us sometime ago , that, one might in fancy levwt ttf the day* of Indian tragedies and hie himself away to a place of refuge to itrwrtws -- tit enraged red man, when on Saturday evenings the noisy countrymen come to town and with whoops and shouts made one believe th&t an actual In dian maBsacre was taking place. We wondered at the fellowa nerve or lack of it, for so far from being any demonstration of violence, it Is a rather noisy, though harmless ex pression, of an exultant spirit, at its weekly reunion, after a week In the oountry, In the melancholy com panionship of a pestle- tsll, innervat ed by th? exhlllratlng influence of a milk- punch or lemon soda, while the chief of police, who maintains the peace ami dignity of the ?tate for snch a per cent, and la the pooreet man In town, according to hi, own I testimony, walks to apd fro among j the merry reveler, idly droning '.'How dear to my heart are the acenee of of childhood, '? and the peaceful clt lien alte peacefully hy, Indiscrim inately squirting red saliva. ?o? views' the scene complacently. s? cretlyh polng sometlhng may hap pen, In which hope he Is Invariably disappointed As well as being peaceful and harmless we are boneet and concilia tory ,, win be seen from the follow I Ing Incidents: A gentleman told mo recently that a neighbor swapped horses with him and the next day on finding he had cheated the gen telman took the horse back home not only traded for hl? old horse back hot actually gave the gentle man a barrel of flour to show that he waa a good neighbor and that hi. Intention, were honest. Another gentleman aaya: That In the whole term of bl? natural Ufa he ha* only had />ne theft committed agalst him and after conalderlng the matter Impartially he found the of fence eo email that he considered It as a gift and the thief wa, so ap preciative that he afterward, gave the gentleman several present,, among which were a poodle dog, a manicure set and a grand son. Neither are we the prototypes pf the denUens of "Sleepy Hollow" and Instead of the tradltlooa I barrel hoop aa our medium of exchange we employ the actual c ab and ecrlpt by which we keep the wheels of progress rolliag? have ten s torts, a mill, efficient mall service and dally transportation. Situated as wa ea"e In nearly the exact geographical center of the county In a section of the moat fer tile farming land In Eastern Caro lina, with tour religious denomina tions, whose brotherly lew and friendship with each other are ?*-) deuce of the fact that th?y are try la* to reach the mm state of per fection, to minister to our eplrltaal welfare and with a wealth of ro mance, facta and Action good, med ical services, good water and a health fw Icllmate. we present aa ldajA location for the school and In considering Its location these points are of vital Interest. This Is s nop re backed by the Farmers Educational and Co-opera tire Union of North Carolina. The state furrt lahes ? 25,000 to be divided Into 10 parts of M.600 each to erect 10 schools In 10 different counties. The ultimate aim Is t,o hare a similar school In every county In the state and the object of the school is the betterment of the social, mental and physlcsl condition of the farm. The state has done this much snd the people are expected to do the bal ance and It n4Kuarlly devolves upon the farmer to see that the plan does not fall through for It not coincident with pride and erason that we shf*l? let pthers do more for ue than we will do for ourselves. Le\ the school come and we will locate It In Bath. FARMER I THOUSAND ~ DOLLAR FIRE Happened at Pactolus Last Ha turd ay Night. News reaches this city of quite a Are In the town of Pactolus N.
