A. Buck, opposes the six-month school term; I think what Inspired big article must have been misinformation about the law ahd~a'wrong conception of what education is. He says that here la no sentiment In this community for a six-month schobl term not: for compulsory attendant u, mentioning that apctition waa circulated in the community and was signed, by but two men, who had no children, and who accordingly, according to his view, had no interest In education whatever. 1 signed the petition myself, and I remember that there were about a doaen names on it when I signed it so that his information about its circulation about its circulation must have been Jncorrect. And as to his statement about the sentiment here upon the _ sia-t^oa|h te?pj I think he really meant to do this Community the injustice he did It when he said there was no sentiment here neither for the six-month term nor L tor flMBMllMX _While the sentiment for progress in our community is not what it should be, 1 which la to be regretted, I should 1 like to Bpeak tor himself, as well as others that favor a six-month school term, that here Is at least some such sentiment here. And I pity the community where there is no educational sentiment. He Is awfully afraid that everybody will go craxy over education, that everybody will . get to be a 1 bookkeeper, or a postal clerk, that ~ "thBW wTlI DS fi6 labdf~<5n me iarm, ' and consequently everybody will ' starve. Bosh! He says the great ' cry for education is that soma_one wants a job. If education Will cause people to -be-more enthusiastic for jobs, education Is what we neod, is it ' not? A.nd-doea he mean to say that 1 by the farmer's keeping his children 1 at home from school to work that * someone doesn't want a job? Ho; we Cannot think ho meant this, but it is wnat one inrers rrom nts argument. tub uiii tun wuuiu mam nsr brood scratch for themselves and her too would be a soft hen on* a soft Job, and what sort of brood would the hen raise.

AT I*AftT DECIDED. The case of the State Hoard of Education S. R. Fowle. W. B. Whitley, and others against the Roanoke Railroad and Lumber Co.. which has occupied the post Beveral days in the Superior Court, has been decided. The plaint!ge, who askod over $!?, 000 damages, were awarded-$#50. it is said they will take the case to a higher court. Before adjournment yesterday, the suit for damages of Peoples against the Inter-State Cooperage Co. was begun. The plaintiff is from Oaylord, while the Cooperage Co. is located at Bel haven. Capt. Wesley Peoples of Cay lord la here to see the outcome of his case against the Inter-State Cooperage Co. thoughtfully, and unjustly keep them at home from schobl, when they should bo at school getting the drill and'training necessary to fit them for life. And certainly the present term la too short to give the children the training tney are entitled to. He says we may always see young men leaving the community far lame soft Job. The cause for this often Is that things are not soft enougb In the community. You can't expect a sheep to always pasture with goats when ho can find more congenial companions elsewhere, especially if the goats will not appreciate the presence of the sheep and respect him. - So It is with the young man of some education in a community where many of his associates are blind to the great benefits and pleasures of education, and who, though he may- try to lead. _ thorn, into the light, refuse to be led; naturally he grows weary of such a condition and wisely, for himself, seeks another atmoepherer . The .way to keep more boys on the farm is to educate more boys and girls, so that they will know how to make the farm a source of greater pleasure and profit. Then oftentimes the boy will not leave the community, .as It will be more tolerable. Yes, things must softed^up at i ftyme and this will come only through education. The farmer must be educated. What is the xpatter with the farming interests or Beaufort County Is that there are too mcz>y soft men on the?Job: With more education In the rural community, there will be better farming, better roads, better government, and better everything. Don't get the idea that I mean hat all of ones education Is got In the school, but a very important part of it is got there,a nd a part which must not be neglected. So let's have longer terms with compulsory attend ance. 06 course the schools are yet mukKIa rtf imnmpamant T Kollflrn with you, Mr. Buok, that the State own the _Yaa, I think that State ownership of textbooks would-be a decided improvement. But don't go back on a thing because it la not fully developed Take hold and help develop It. Mr. Buck ia afraid of higher taxes if the alx-month term should come, bat he is uninformed on this, for It would not make taxea Higher, aa the money for the aame would be taken from the State fond. I am aure there are several here who did not sign that petition who would have ddne so If they, like Mr. - Buck, had not had the wrong view aa to the increase in taxes. But I mean simply to file a protest unn niB ?en-on mai lovre is do sentiment here for e six-month term Yovre for education, BERTRAM D. DANIELS. Btoonts Creek, N.
