..The Northampton County
Teachers' Association was in ses
sion in the Graded School build
ing here Friday, 21st We are
always glad to welcome the
teachers to our town and appro
date the fact that the Associa
tion chose Jackson as its perma
nent place of meeting. We are
thus put in closer touch with the
educational work in our county,
and when we see what is being
done we wish to join in the for
ward movement which will place
Northampton among our state's
leading counties. When we note
what has been accomplished
along this line in the last few
years we have cause to be proud
of Northampton, and we know,
also, that much is due to our
faithful and efficient superintend
ent, Mr. P. J. Long. We hear
. i . ra W r .
mat supc. j. i. joyner is to aa
dress the Teachers' Association
at the Marcl meeting, ' and Mr.
Long urges that this be made an
educational rally. Our towns
people can contribute much to
the success of this meeting BDd
we feel sure they will gladly do
so.
"Equal Suffrage" was the
question under discussion in the
Jackson Literary Society last
Thursday, and it was with pleas
ure and interest that a large
number of visitors listened to the
excellent aaguments whi:h show
ed ability jon the part of the de
baters and reflected credit on the
training which they are receiv
ing. The same query was the
subject for debate throughout
the state on Friday, by the
"High Scbool Debating Union of
N. C." 360 students, represent
ing 90 North Carolina schools
and, judging from the way in
which the subject was treated by
our girls and boys now pupils
of the 7th and 8th grades we
believe they will be ready to take
their place in the Debating Union
when our Graded School becomes
a State High School. The affirm
ative side of the auery was up
held by Misses Rebecca Long,
Dorothy Gay, and Elizabeth
Moore, while Messrs. Robert
Burnette, Jere Gay, and Dock
Boone felt it their duty to show
to the society and the community
that no worse calamity could be
fall us than that woman should
have a voice in public affairs or
that our southern women should
come in contact with the "evils"
of the ballot box. So well did
they do this that many of us
were convinced. But the girls
met their arguments with equal
ly convincing statements of what
woman has done and what wom
an can do and still be true to her
proper sphere. In fact,, they
showed that she would be better
fitted to fill her calling as a
"homemaker" and that her voice
in certain legislation is needed;
for now.of those who judged .the
debate, Mr. Flythe will cast his
vote to "give the women a
chance" and Mrs. Lister and
Mrs. Worrell will find it advisa
ble to do more than vote through
some one else. However, they
were not willing to render their
decision jn favor of the affirma
tive until they had given due
commendation to each of the Bix
debaters who are indeed a credit
to the school. Miss Elizabeth
Moore received the distinction of
having made the best speech.The
debate was the principal feature
of the program, but the entire
proceedings of the society show
ed the aims of the student body
are culture and progress and we
are sure that in continuing this
work they will be an uplifting
influence in bur community.

This whole community felt a

Brown of Menola. He had a great
many relatives and friends in
this neighborhood, and his pleas
ant visits in our homes will be
greatly missed.
The Olney teachers were kind
ly invited by Dr. Driver, to be
present at the Tri-State Medical
Society which held its annual
meeting Wednesday, Thursday
and Friday. On Friday the pro
gram was Riven entirely over to
Dr. Driver to arrange. He b a
live wire, to say the least, and
the whole day was given up to
the discussion of malaria, this
being the one thing that he seems
most interested in. He had pres
ent to address the .meeting Fri
daythe day that the teachers
were present three men of na
tional repucation. Look for a

We were certainly pteaied to
note in the Times of two weeks
ago, the progress which the Sea
beard High School is making in
the way of adding more attrac
tions to the school. Maybe it
would not be out of place te say
that we understand that the 01
ney High School here has just
sent off the following order: Paint
enough for the building outside,
one teacher's desk, one reading
table, desks for the primary
room and wall paper for all the
rooms down stairs. It would be
interesting if all the schools in
the county would report what
they are doing.

The Supreme Court has hand
ed down an opinion in the case
of J. W. Mitchell Vs. V.H. Free
man et at. Plaintiff Mitchell won
in the Superior court and the Su
preme court finds no error and
so the judgment is affirmed. This
wasna land suit tried before
Judge Cline.
The Superior court adjourned
early last week, but it was not
on account of the impatience of
the Judge, for he exhibited none,
and was as smooth and pleasant
as any man should be on the
bench. Judge Lane is fair and
just in his rulings, firm but not
arbitrary. He has the judicial
temperament; courteous to the
members of the bar, litigants.
witnesses, and all the officers of
the court. What a contrast he is
to one judge in North Carolina.
It is needless to write his name,
for when it.is said that he is an
affliction upon the judiciary and
the people, everybody knows
who is mea.it for if our sixteen
Judges were like him we might
wll exclaim in our anguish and
disoair God save the mark!
There is an effort being made

and to show the management the
advantages of the extension Our
people are a unit for the road
and it looks like plans will soon
take definite shape. If the road
comes through the Indian Woods,
touching Spring Hill, Spruill's
store, Grabtown and other points
it will run through some of the
best farming lands of the State
and which is at this-time in a
high state of developing. With
in the last year Windsor ha? ad
