The following are the reso- lution**: “Whereas, it has come to the knowledge of this convention through the columns of our county paper that the recorder, Mr. J. A. Forsythe, has signific^d his desire to serve the people as recorder for the next two years (if they desire his services) and has in said an nouncement placed the judicial po sition ho holds above the plane of partisanship and upon the just standard of business and non-parti san administration, seeking his election only from the whole i>eo- ple. “And whereas, it has further come to the uttentiou of this con vention that Mr. T.

There will be a few alterations and additions to the program. The former presentation was so success ful that a good honse is expected. JAPANESE MISSIONS On Suiiday evening a discussion of Japanese missions was given in the Auditorium by Rev. S. A. Stew art of Hiroshima, Japao. Mr. Stewart is a member of the West ern North Carolina conference, who has been for live years a mission ary in Japan. He was raised in Union county. His description was particularly effective. The first part of the evening was given to a brief description of present condi tions in Japan. This was followed by stereopticon views which had the particular accuracy and beauty and artistic value which the Japa nese are able to jn'oducc so dis tinctively.

The orphanage has been sending out a singing class far three or four yej.rs. They have appeared in Bre vard and have pleased more than one audience here. They represent a worthy cause, and all who at tend will have the satisfaction not only of being eatertainod but also of doing good with their money. The entertainraent wil\ be at the iknditorium. r. (\ . \'t of after which Rev. A, I. Justice, Prof. Shitle, Prof. (^le. Rev. Geo. F. Wright, D. S. Pace, and others gave interestiup addresses. The prospects for a good year are brighter than ever before. The department of domestic science has been added to the regular work of the school. Mist* Stella Lynce of Nev.-port, Tenn., has charge of this work. Miss Elizebath Kctbley of Clinton, Miss, has charge of the music de partment. FARMERS' INSTITUTES CULLOWHEE N. & I. SCHOOL The following article was con tributed by one of the county teachers: The summer session of the Cnl- lowhee Normal and Industrial school closed a few weeks ago. The work of the t«rm far exceeded the highest hopes of the promoters of the enterprise. While the en rollraent was not large, the spirit and work of those who did come were excellent, and the character of what was done was, perhaps, superior to that o'” the work of larger schools. There were ninety who enrolled and a large number of these remained for the entire six weeks. It would be difficult to get to gether a more agreeable and earnest company of young people. They came for business and applied themselves to the task before them with earnestness and vigor. A manifest cheerfulness character- terized the whole body. Excel lence of deportment distinguished all the enterprises of the session. The river afforded opportunity for swimming and rowing, the mountains attracted the climber, the ball ground occupied the ath lete, and all of these forms of recreation were indulged in freely by the student body. In addition to the work of the regular departments the primary supervision by Miss Royal has been a nsarked feature of tlie sossion. The institution was especially for tunate ill scouring the services of Miss Royal and is additionally hnppy in that it has engaged her for the entire regular term as su perintendent of the i)ractice school. No school in Western North Caro lina will be able to offer better op portunities to the young men and women of this section next year than Cullowhee, especially along the line of teacher training work. The school also had the very great pleasure of having Miss Ilali- burton, a woman of national fame as a writr of books and teacher of children, spent several days set ting forth methods of teaching. Miss Haliburton will be with the school during the entire session of the summer of 191.5. Miss McColman’s work in draw ing attracted wide attention among the students, while her eenial porsonalily made her many friends. The school is also very fortunate in securing her serviecjs 1 ^ I for the incoming year. Professf)r Reynolds, the big- hearted jiresident cf the institu tion, made everybody feel at home and thr;'w himself into the work :n bis characteristic way. His ideal for the school ir-, a great one and tjids fuir tr> be realized in the near future. He is a man thati thinks big things for and about the school and then works vigorously to bring them to pass. Fhs faculty supports him to a man, ])iitting forth every possible effort to as sist in carrying the plans of the school to successful achievement. Great will be W’^estern North Carolina when she realizes that that this school, abovo all others, is her own school, in w’hich her boys and girls feel at home in which, at comparatively small cost, they can set culture and training ior their life work.

Brock, publisher of the Enterprise, Aberdeen, Md. “I discovered that it was a quick and safe cure for diarrhoea.

THANKS editor Sylvan Valley News: I wish to thank my many demo cratic friends for the support tboy gave me in the democratic primary last week. While I did not receive the n£>mi nation for clerk of the superior court, 1 wish all to know that I am ^ as I have always been, a democrat,, a&d that I will work for tbe elec tion of my successful opponent—as well as for the entire democrutio tictet—as hard, if not harder, than I wouW for my own election. Very truly, Leox Gillespie.
