Tbe fOliowitig wecopy from the Raleigh Moroiog Post, sent by Us Greensboro corresponden t Octo berCi H'i'ji-'-!h-''r Uintrance ' examinations are over, the classes; organized ' and the second - week of - our ; college work behind us, students and faculty draw a sigh of relief and are prepared to look about tfiem wiib-a view to ascertaining ; ibe present oonditiou and future prospects of the institution. , , The Statu No mal and Indus trial College enters npon tbe tenth- year of its existance under tbe ttiostfavoratolecotiditioos and .. st . , with prospects bright with prom Ue for increased and everincreas ing usefulness. A state institu tiOD. tbe State institution for the higher education of North Caroli na women the collegt if it be true to its mission; must : grow with tbe common-wealth that es tablished, fosters and 8 up ports it. It should throb responsive to tbe pulsutiou of educatioual progress now quickening the Old North State and ; manifest in its life some wholsome evidences that It is ill truth a veritable parlf the State. The signs, we take it, are not wanting, whether viewed in the light of cause or ofeffect If the State is enjoying an educa tional renaissance the graduates of its college for women, over 00 per cent of wbom have taught, have, it is believed, been instru mental in doing some part to wards bringing about this intel lectual awakening. Nor are signs wanting that this quickening movement is having its effect upon the institution it self The most hopjful eviden ces of this progress are to be found, not-in brick and mortar. as seen in adaitiODai . buildings, nor yet in increased number of matnculates-though in both ot these the college is notot a stand s till-but rather in tnings : that must ever be reckoned more eb sentially a part of effectnre educa tional equipment. On - the part of,, trustees, faculty graduates and friends of the instituiiun there is manifest adelermination to see tbatits curriculum of study grows stronger and richer each year, un examination or toe present - requirements, for in stance, and for graduation com pared with those of each previous year will show manifest signs of a steady increase both in the qaantityand quality of the' work requisite for secorio" .the college diploma. ; Keeping in view the purpose for which the institution was founded and the , public school system of which it is a part the requirements for entrance to the freshman, class are being steadily advanced. The length of the annual session has been in creased three weeks. v New sub jects of study have been added to the curriculum, a higher char acter of work is required in each department and new and addi tional courses-of study have been provided. An advanced course of study leading to a -degree is Of fered for the first time this year. : ,Some cba'nges in the faculty are to be noted, . Mr. T. Q, Pear son, a graduate of Guilford Col lege and of-the University of North Carolina, assumes charge of tha, department of biology. Miss Bryant having been grant ed a two years leave of absence to prosecute her studies - abroad, Miss Laura B. Cost, formerly as sistaut in the departmentof math em a tics, becomes secretary of tbe faculty and assistant to the president in the duties of admin istration. Thisadmlrablearrange ment leaves the president more time for tbe prosecution of cer tain important work hitherto neg lected or accomplished under great difficulties. . Miss Henry, anna Hackney, of Bryn Mawr College, succeeds . Miss Cost in the department of mathematics. Miss Julia Dameron, a former graduate of tbj college," becomes assistant in the department of Latin, Miss Barnett having been granted leave of ab once for study at CoIumbiaColleg" in New York. . - The beads of tue uejiariuaeuts report favorably coocerolDg the sigus of impiove'd preparations among the candidates for ad mis sioa to, the . freshman class Apart from Jhe immediate work of tbe sobool : room " the students . life : manifests ' whole some evidences ; of progress Tbe spirit of the institution, the tatal absence of secret organiza tion founded on fancied class dis tlnciion, as well as the good sense and Christian courtesy of tbe stu dents, enectually . prevents .' or crushes any snobbishness or pre tsDtious exolusiveness. The lit erary societies, the only seoret organizations allowed, are already at work, seeking earnestly to pro mote tbe general culture and hap pi ness of their members. The Young Woman's. Chi 'stian Asso ciatiOn--the master's life of ser vice evet before its members is making itself .felt as a power of usefulness and , strength in the entire life of the college. A spirit of earnest seeking for the things of most worth is in the college atmosphere and a most auspicioas beginning - suggests the hope and belief that this the decennial year of the college, will be the most useful in its already remarkable history. . A Timely Warning. When the church does that for wealth which she would not do for poverty the agitator secures his inflammable material. " In these times, of all times, the church cannot afford to give color to the accusation that it is partial to the rich and harsh to the poor, subservent to capital and hostile to the interests of the laboring man. Presbyterian Standard. The above is an extract from a merciless but truthful arraign ment of all the guilty parties, In cluding parson Hoge, connected with tbe unholy Flagler marriage. It is well enough for caurcbes of all denominrtions to pause and reflaciupon these words. Fashion able churches are - very apt to cringe to - wealth. -They need a good deal of money in their busi ness. They have been known to retain in their membership men, who, if they bad no bank account, would be kicked qut without cere mony. 'f he Standard is right. The agitator has bad a tremendous leverage placed in his hands by tue persuasive power or money in many of our strong and promi nent churches. . Elder Flagler is a very good illustration- of the power of a "bar'l" in the church. "The poor ye have always with you, ' moans more than we some times thiok Tbe church which gets above its poor anddiscrimi- nates against them may bepromi nent and popular, but it cannot be powerful. Giving a high seat in the synagogue to the man in goodly apparel, and a footstool to the ragged or the needy, may be according to the rules of society but it reverses the teaching of the Scriptures. , God is no respecter of persons, nor must his churches be. The Head of the church came from the ranks of the : laboring meo and ho was poorer than his fellow laborers, for he had tot. where to lay his head. Woe be unto the church which offers a tithe more to a banker than ' to a drayman, Money may! and sometimes does, buy legislatures,- but ' tbe Lord pity us when it begins to buy our churches! Charity and Children. Beware of Politicians. It is nearly a year to he State elections, but this early tbe politi clans are in the field. Already we are receiving marked copies of papers containing puffs, notices of office wanted, and tbe like. Now we Lave - bad -, several years experience with politicians and with few - exceptions, . have found them a most angratefullot, who give sweetened taffy , before ,iec lions aud cqld shoulder after wards. We are about done fool ing with; them. And .Jfce best thing our people can do it to let ibem alone. "Therefore "marked copy," "please publish Ibis," "say some thing for me in your paper" aud the like will go to Our waste basket unless accompanied by cash to pay for- it as advertis ing matter.

Up to ' today there have been 589, students en- ro'led, which Is 15 more than the whole number enrolled last sea sion, which was only 524 and 58 more than, the number enrolled at tbe same period last year. v The 6a me ratio of increase for the next few i weeks will give a total enrollment ot about 600 for the entire session, ; There is a large , proportion of these young, men who are mem ; bers of some church, the Y. M 0. A. has startedoff with a larger membership than It has ever bad, and see in s to be doing an admira ble work under tbe lead of its excellent President. Mr. C. E. Maddry--one of our Baptist boys Tbey have Bible classes in which they have already! enrolled ove fifty students:, they, keep up reg ular prater meetings, which are well attended, and viuey are con ducting four,' mission Sunday Schools in the regions around They have occasional sermons and addresses in he University chapel which are largely attend ed by the students,- The pastor of the Baptist church here was honored with o;' invitation to preach the; flrstfiermon before them, and he preached to a very large congregation.' on "Christian Activity in College;" The - University authorities have taken a very f decided stand against the miserable (I had al most said infamods) practice of hazing Freshmen, iwhich has ob tained here for some years. They have wisely, I think, sought to break up the practice by appeals to the students themselves to put it down, and had a'lnosi gratify ing response, i The benlor Ulass, the Junior ClasBj fend lastly, the Sophomore ,Clasf have passed strong resolutions jagainst hazing and. haya.appdawd.TCommitteeB to suppress it, or bring to punish ment any one who may engage in it The Tar Heul (the .organ of the Athletic Association) has corae out in a strong editorial against it, and it is hoped that this relic of barbarism will soon pass away. The general good order among the students is admirable, as it was last session Tbe fact that there are no saloons in Chapel Hill, and that no liquor can be sold, not even in drug stores, within five miles of the town, has a most salutary effect, and during my -fifteen mouths' residence here I hot only have not seen a drunken student, but have not smelt whiskey on the breath of one of them. 1 have been, also, very much gratified at tbe fact that not even wine is served at the annual lunch or at the presi dent's reception. Our Baptist church here may be said, in tbe stereotyped phrase of letters to the association, to be "holding its owti. " Our congre gations, keep up, . our Sunday School and prayer meetings are the largest (I am told) of any church in the town, and while there are some things which we would like very much to see changed, I think I may say that the general outlook is hopeful. Dr. Hume's Bible class of stu dents is large he had about fifty present last Sunday and large numbers of tbe students attend regularly our preachingaervices, and-prayer meetings. : I have not yet gotten (as I will have in a few days) the full list of Baptist' stu WEE?'

Will not brethren and sisters having sons or friends among, the students here help me in my work among them by a line to me concerning them? Iam proposing to have next week, and tbe week following, if Providence favors, a series of meetings in which my son, Rev Edloe Kendleton Jones, of Owens boro, Ky wllf do the preaching- May I not beg sll who read this who are accustomed to pray, to ma,ke .special prayers for our meetings that' we may. have a genuine, God Given, God sent, revival which will reach the homes and. hearts of tbe commu nity? But I am afraid that you will think my "word from Chapel Hill" like, the "finally" of some preachers spun out rather long, and so I stop right here. J. Wm. Jones, Chapel Hill, N. C. Oct 2. The Pisgah Forest. The following from Forest and Stream, tells about Vanderbilt's vast estate in North Carolina, near Asheville: The Pisgah Forest has cost Vanderbilt something like a quar ter of a million dollars, or about 1.50 an aore He has bought it in great or small tracts as rapidly as possible, and now his rangers are tbe only denizens. There are five of them, all picked men of tbe mountains, of fine physique, good riders, and dead shots. One of them comes to meet the pil grims and looks at their permit, which is a very important piece of paper. This forester, whose name is Kearns, is a type of tbe rangers, good humored, tall and strong, well mounted, with re peating nflj slung at his back, saddle bags and poncho. To bim these mountain wilds are like an open book, and upon bim and his associates a great and incessent responsibility 'devolves.. They must keep open the roads and the trails, see that the boundary fence, 300 miles in length, is all right; keep out poachers, look af ter the game and trout, and always be on the alert for timber stealers. Tbe poachers would come from near and far to catch the trout, or rather to kill them by exploding dynamite cartridges in .he deep pools where the big fellows lurk, or to kill the deer, tbe grouse (tbe pheasants, as, they are known popularly), or the wild turkeys. At an incredible distance tbe trained ear of the ranger will hear tbe explosion of dynamite, and be tracks tbe offen der unerringly, even into other counties, and once into Tecuesee. There are 265 miles of trails in this forest, the trails leading alongside each trout stream. There are seventy miles of road passable for wagon. Trail and road are always:kept in readiness against Mr. Vanderbilt's coming He is, as tbe rangers say, "liable to come at any time." There are miles of shooting paths, the latter fifteen feet in width, and cut right and left from the road. When deer are driven they, must cross these paths, and by means of the latter alone can the hunter see them in time to get a shot. Rev. W, E. Edmundsou A' Washington special to the News, and Observer of recent date says: Rev. W, E. EJmundson, of Burke, county, N. G, Chaplain in the U. S. Navy has been retlr ed on balf pay. He was appoint ed to the Navy by President Cleveland in 1894 while serving ss Methodist pastor at Murf rees bora N. C He has been' in wretched health several years, and - his retirement was ordered by the President on account of ill health.. He and his family will go to Coloiado- It is feared he tias consumption. . ' " Mr. Edmundson spent last winter - in . Raleigh and friends then feaied be had consumption. It ia hoped that . the Colorado air may restore him to health. He is one of the State's first young ministers and as chaplain in the Navy won tbe respect and esteem of officers and men wherever tue duty called Liui. . V ("Meeting of the ' Cotton Flan tera of Halifax County. (Roanoke News.) ,. ' , j . On Saturday, the 5tb instant. quite a large nam bet of the most prominent planters in this county met ' lit Halifax to take pre- liumary steps to effect a perfect organization to act in conjunction with the State Farmers' Cotton Growers Association. The meeting was organized by choosing Dr. H. B. Furgerson as chairman, and W. OJStoue, as sec retary. W. "HT'-Orarkj ;-whe-epresented Halifax county planters at the re cent State convention held in R il- oigh, reported a large and enthnsi ustio attendance, ' with delegates from 21 counties, 'i he State As sociation determined upou a mini mum price of 25 cents per bushel for cotton seed, and 1333 J lbs, of meal in exchange for a ton of seed. Or. Forguson declared that seed are worth 35 cents per bushel to every ptenter, and Btrongly advo oated holding evary bushel He said tbe oil and fertilizer truut could be made to come to terms if the farmers.! will 8t' together. The idea of the trust offering only 12 cents per bushel (or cotton seed was an insult to every intelligent planter. Hon. E. L. Travis made a spirit ed address and urged tbe forma tion or a strong organization Reg iater Norman, W. H. Clark and others also made addresses follow ing np this suggestion. It was finally decided to call a meeting of the planters at Halifax on Monday, October 21, and to se lect arganizers for various towns throughout the county to arrange local meetings as soon as possible, from which delegates should be sent to take part in perfecting the county organization. The follow ing gentlemen were then selected to carry forward the work in their towns: T. H. Taylor, Brinkleyville. W. H, Thome. Airlie J. E. Johnson, Littleton. T. L. Emry, Weldon. Dr.:H- B. Furgnson, Halifax. -W. H. Butterwortb, Scotland Neck. J. H. Pope, Conoconra. W. T. Whitehead Roseneath. L. J. Baker, 1'almyra. C. A. Williams, Ringwood. S. Pope & . H- Clark, Enfield. It is estimated that the meeting at Halifax on Monday the 21, will be one of the largest gatherings of planters ever assembled in this couaty, and each township organ izer is expected to send as many delegates as he can induce to at tend. The excitement incident to travel ing and change of food and water often brings on diarrhoea, and for this reason no one should leave home without a bottle of Chamber lain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy.

The farmer is the bed-rock on which all prosperity' rests, for be must feed all; and we believe that what ever tends to the farmer's inter est ought to be encourag d and promulgated. The Smithfield Herald insists on farmers sowing small grain, and shows clearly why it is wise for them to do so. It costs less than other crops and comes in good time. Tbe follow ing paragraph is tbe conclusion of the article referred to: "I you sow grain you have a good summer pasture for hog?, cattle, hordes and mules after the grain is out. This past ire comes in at a time wben therein tothing much in the woods for stock. If you follow jour grsia with peas you can greatly . im prove you r land and raise from tbe pea vines much feed for the winter. If yon do not plant peas afteryourgruin or pasture on the. land you can generally get a good crop of crab grass bay.
