It is a well-known fact that the people of Winston-Salem never do things in a halfway style. WBatever is un dertaken is well done or not done at all, and in the preparations that are being made to care for and en tertain the two thousand and more old soldiers that are expected* to attend this reunion, everything possible is being done to make our ever welcome visitors comfortable and happy. It will be remembered that Win ston-Salem entertained the veter ans four years ago, and the boys went home delighted with their re ception and entertainment. The invitation to again visit Winston- Salem was extended in that spirit of loyalty to the veterans which has ever characterized' the people, and now that the invitation has been accepted and marching orders have been issued, the boys of ’61 will be received with open arms and glad, ijfapflrts by men, women and children. Committees are at work prepar ing comfortable sleeping quarters, as well as places where good things to eat and drink may be found in abundance. There will be some thing doing all the time. Addresses by distinguished Confederate vet erans will be a feature of the con vention. The program will be in teresting from st-art to finish. Reduced rates on the railroads as usual have been applied for, and the exact fare can be learned from any station by enquiring of the local agent. This is no formal invitation which Winston-Salem extends to the leaves of a fast thinning line. It is a hearty and sincere expres sion of the love and admiration that we have for brave men who knew no fear in the days that tried men’s souls. We consider ourselves fortunate and honored in having you among us. We want to know you apd shake your hand, and we want our children and our chil dren’s children to know what man ner of men have made the south land the grandest place in this glo rious country of ours. Don’t de prive us of the pleasure of being at your service once more. BREEDERS’ ASSOCIATION COUNTY TEAOHEilS HOLD FmST MEETING BOOK LIST DISCUSSED AND ADOPTED Program Arranged for Next Meet ing. Many County Schools Start Monday Conlinued on page 3. Few departments of science have shown greater development and attracted wider public attention in recent years than the breeding of plants and animals. The Ameri can Breeders’ Association is com posed of scientists and practical breeders who are working along these lines, for the improvement of plant and animal life. This asso ciation will hold its annual meet ing at Columbia, January 24, 25 and 27, 1913, in connection with the fifth national corn exposition. The national corn exposition has assigned a booth to the American Breeders’ Association for its exhib its and headquarters during the exposition. In this booth will be exhibits and literature relating to the subjects of plant breeding, ani mal breeding and eugenics. Since the organization of the Breeders’ Association the president has been Hen. James Wilson, the famous secretary of agriculture. The secretary is Prof. W. M. Hays, the assistant secretary of agricul ture. Prof. Hays is taking a great deal of interest in the preparation of the program, to which he is giv ing his personal attention. Among the prominent members active in the association is Dr. H. J. Web ber, who doveloped the celebrated Webber cotton. He is in charge of the plant b^eding department of I the association. A meeting of the county public school teachers was held at the graded school last Friday morning, presided over by Superintendent Henderson. About twenty teach ers were present. A great many engaged to teach for the next ses sion are at present not in the coun ty, and for this reason the schools were not well represented. The meeting was called by the county superintendent to discuss matters and outline work for the schools, some of which will open next Monday, August 5th. One im portant matter was the list of adopt ed books. Mr. Henderson an nounced that he intended to have about 2,.500 cards printed contain ing all the books to be used in the different grads. These cards will be given to the teachers, and they will thus be able to distribute them among their pupils on the first day of school. Another matter of interest was in regard to graduation from the elementary schools. Mr. Hender son outlined a plan which he be lieved would have a beneficial effect if carried out. He proposed to have next spring a commenci*jnont day at Brevard for pupils from any school in the county finishing the seventh grade. Certificates would be given only to those who had taken and completed the full num ber of studies required by the state law. He appealed to the teachers for their support in this movement, and a motion was made and carried to adopt the plan and carry it out. At the close of the meeting the county teachers’ association was reorganized with Superintendent Henderson as presindent, A. B. Riley vice president, and Miss Sue Glazener secretary and treasurer. The first regular meeting of the as sociation will be held at the Bre vard graded school on Friday and Saturday, August 30th and 31st. J. W. Briggs, Z. A. Nicholson and A. B.

WALKER BACWELL Just a few words in memory of a worthy young man. The unex pected death of W^alker Bagwell on July 23, came as a shock from his many friends and relatives of Bre vard and Transylvania county. The writer has known Walker from his cradle to manhood. He was one of the best Christian young men in Dunn’s Rock township. He was a yo’-ng man who at all times was at your service for anything that was gentlemanly and Christian 1’ke. This young man and his r-ither were once in the employ of the writer and held trustworthy positions and filled them in an hon est and upright manner. Walker was obedient to his parents and they loved him dearly. May God help them in their bereavment over the loss of their dear boy. The sympathy of all who knew him goes out with them. Some day we’ll understand. T. \V. W. VETERANS 055, Brevard Camp, U. C. V. No. Brevard, N. C., July 30, 1912.

LrME FOR SOILS An investigation made by Presi dent Finley of the Southern rail way system has shown that exx>erts in the chemistry of soils are unani mously of the opinion that lime in some form will benefit many soils of the southeastern states by cor- rectiMg their acidity and improv ing their mechanical condition. President Finley has secured the opinions of experts throughout the southern states and also in the eastern and middle states, in some of which experiments with the use of lime have been carried on for a long series of years. These opin ions have b6en published in an il lustrated folder which is being widely distributed among the farm ers in the territory traversed by the lines of the Southern railway system. Farmers and others interested in this subject may obtain copies of this folder by addressing W. W. Finley, President, Southern Rail way company, Washington, D. C.
