Chapel Hill, N. C, June 19. In both the enthusiasm mani f ested and the number of students so far registered the twenty ninth session of tne University Summer School, which opened Thursday. June 15, has surpassed all previous sessions. The enroll ment on the last dav of registra tion was 729, within two of the total for the whole of last year. The enrollment passed the 800 mark before Sunday, thus mak ing it practically certain now' that over 1000 Btudents will be enrolled before the summer is over. All available dormitories are full, and the University is taxed to accommodate all who come. It is also hard to find a sufficient number of class-rooms. In the absence of President Graham, Dean Marvin H. Stacy welcomed the summer students to the University at the formal opening on Friday. He declared tnat tne summer students were here by right of citizenship.right of hospitality, and right of growth, the last right being one which the teacher should by all means exercise. "There has not been in North Carolina this year," he said, "an assembly of men and women that means more to the state than the as sembly of men and wom?n here this summer." The Summer School manage ment has left no stone unturned in providing for nix weeks of combined profits and pleasure. Most of the best teachers in the winter school have been retain ed, and their number has been supplemented by distinguished teachers from other schools. Mias Emily Rose Knox, of Ral eigb, and Miss Dycie Howell of New York give the first of the Bummer musicales on Tuesday night. Prof. Gustav Hageiorn of Raleigh is planning big things in Summer School music and singing this year. The chorus will give a concert on July 12. The campus presents an un usual appearance to those who know the University only during the winter term, lne fair sex may be said to predominate, and feminine voices ring out from the 'dormitories, wnicn now are reserved for women. The sum mer school is first of all a school for teachers, and naturally those interested in the, profession of teaching are herein great num bers, approximately two-thirds being normal studentB. An increasing number of men is yearly coming to the ummer school, many being winter stu dents. Many also come from other standard colleges and uni versities to do graduate work, or work towards a college degree. Over 60 students have already registered for graduate study- more than in the regular session last year. . The Y. W. a A. has this sum mer taken charge of the Univer sity Y. M. C. A. building, and will thus be enabled to render help and guidance to the women of the school. Miss Margaret Anderson of Winston-Salem, is secretary. ; R. D W. Connor starts his se ries of lectures on 'North Caro lina history Monday. State Su pervisor. L. C. Brogden, is also teaching here this summer.

PLAY IS NECESSARY TO KEEP GOOD HEALTH It has been prophesied that within the next ten or fifteen years the doctors will prescribe a horseback ride for his patients where he now prescribes a pill. It is no v well understood that in order to keep in good health one needs 10 be shaken up occasion ally, and for that reason play becomes an important health factor. One difference in pby and work is, in vork we do only what 18 required; in play we do all that we can. Another differ ence is, in play we want to do it; in work we feel it a duty. In wanting to do a thing lies half the value of doing it. Play be comes work when it ie done from a sense of duty. Play is sb essential to our henlth as is work. A man needs to have hia heart beat fast and his face flushed at times. He needs often to breathe deeply and to exert himself to the ut most Play does these things. Furthermore, play takes one out into the open air and sunshine. It tak,es him away from his work and worry. It trains mind along with muscle It develops judg ment and will power and makes a bigger, better life. Further more, it makes for a longer, happier life. . Dr; Woods Hutchison says: Never till we are ready to graduate from the university of life, -which ought not to be be fore ($5 or 70, should we cease to regard play as one of our major electiveB. Play makes the child into a man, and keeps the man into a child, growing and im proving all bis life long. "Bulle tin State Board of Health. Turner-Boone. On Tuesday evening, June 13, in the Monticello Hotel, Norfolk, Vs., was solemnized the mar riage of Miss Annie L. Boone to Mr. Charlie Phileamond Turner, of Gatesville, N. C. The bride was becomingly at- tired in a going away costume of dark blue with hat and gloves to match and carried brides roses, while the groom wore conven tional black. The. ceremony, performed by the pastor of the First Baptist church,! Norfolk. Va., was short but impressive, and after sealing their vows with the wedding ring the young couple received the congratulations and good wishes of their friends. Mr. Turner is a very popular merchant in the thriving town of Gatesville. N. C, and is a young man of pleasinar personali ty and sterling character. The bride is the accomplished daugh ter of Mr. Burgess P. Boone, Margarettsville, N C. She was a student of Chowan College, also of Shenandoah Collegiate Insti tute, after which she was a very successful teacher in Northamp ton, also In Gates county. She is a ' young lady of many good qualities and will be greatly missed in her community; but while it is our loss we know it is Gates ville's gain. After several days sojourn in Northern cities they will be at their beautiful home which is nearing completion.in Gatesville, N.C. Mr. Norris Boone, brother of ttie bride, also Mr. John Lilly, cousin of the groom, and a few intimate friends, witnessed the marriage. ; :x: Many congratulations and very best wishes for a long aad pros perous life, ;v Mrs. Mollle Stephenson. The subject of this sketch Sister : Mollie Stephenson was the daughter of Mr. James F. Long, a prosperous farmer and highly esteemed citizen of North ampton County. N. C. He lived near Jackson, the County seat of ea!d county. She wns of a natural trenial, sunny disposition, and won many true ,erd. life-long friends. In eariv pirlhood she professed faith in Christ, and being buried with' Him in Baptism, the con nected herself with the Mt. Car mel Baptist church, and lived a beautiful christian during the remainder of her natural life. Soon after the close of the Civil War, she was united in mtrriage to Mr. James N Stephenson, and settled upon a farm near the family homeBtead, there to be gin the journey of life and make a!home for themselves. This union was. blessed with seven children, five of whom are still living three sons and two daughters They lived happily together for many years, when the heavy hand of affliction was laid upon the husband and fath er. She was true to her loved one and nursed him tenderly, till it became necessary to take him to the Central Hospital in Ral eigh for treatment. After this she gave up housekeeping and made her home with Mrs Peter Spencer, her daughter. Her health began to decline, and she was" a great sufferer, Notwith standing ber broken health and ber sad bereavement, ehe never murmured at her lot, nor lost hope, but bore it all with cour age and true christian fortitude to the very last of her earthlv pilgrimage. She seemed to rea lize that the end of the journey was approaching, still she falter ed not when the grim messenger came. She had passed the allot ted span of life the "Three score years and ten," and died in the full triumph of faith. "She knew whom she had believed. and was persuaded that He is aba tor keep that which she had committed unto Him against that day." "Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yeaeaiththe Spirit, that they may rest from their labors; and their works do follow them." Onh who knew and loved her.

EXTERMINATE THE WEEDS. State Board of Health Advises Doing Away With Weeds as Menace to Health and Sanitation. "There are two main reasons" savs the State Board of Health, whv weeds should not be al lowed to grow up and mature. The first is that their pollens cause bay-fever and the second is that the space on which they grow, in most cases, becomes a dumping ground for refuse and all sorts of filth. Another reason aside from those having to do wjtb health is that thev are un sightly and lessen the value of the real estate on which they grow as veil as adjoining pro perty. People know that a vacant lot or an alley thick with grown up weeds serves to ac cumulate all 6orts of rubbish and filth, from tin cans to dead cats, and thus becomes a nuisance. Furthermore, they know that it is insanitary and, therefore un desirable to have in the neigh borhood or even in the town, as for that matter. "A weed-covered lot or alley becomes a menace to health chiefly when it becomes a breed- ing place for flies. This is made possible when garbage and filth are allowed to collect in such places. "Hay-fever is a disease that is hard to cure, and barely, less . hard to prevent. It is believed " to be-eansed by the pollens of certain plants, such ae rag weed, 1 golden rod, yellow dock! cockle bur, careless weed and various grasses. Experiments show that the pollens of these plants so irritate the membranes of the nose as to bring on symptoms of cold which persist throughout the pollen season. It is best prevented by exterminating weeds and grasses before their flowering season. This can be done by cities and towns, aa Asheville is doing for ber people, but the plan is hardly practical for individuals alone. However, individuals can go after their town authorities and both can so co-operate aa to get rid of weeds and all the evils that are attrib uted to them." Woodland Epwortn league.
