with aiid hunwr, and delighed the au
dience. He plead for co-operation and
promised to do all in his powei* to
help the local carriers. He said there

Vt’here than the rmal carriers. He

Man In College WIttioutMoney
Kit»n College, July 0^—Members of
the College Faculty and friends were
highly pleased this morning to receive
froni New York copies of “College
Without jMoney,” a new hook re
cently edited by C. B. Kiddle, a mem-
bei: of the student body, and publish
ed by Thomas Y. Crowell Company.
Mr. Biddle has been laboring more
than a year with the assistance of
President Harper, Drs. Lawrence, Ran
dolph, and Campbell to produce the
book, and its appearance tells well the
value of labor and what can be
wrought in due time.
The author gathered from all parts
cf the Uiiited States the self-told sto
ries of how prominent men worked
their way through college and rose
from the poor boy to fill a placc of
usefulness in life. The book is inier-
c->tir.g, helpful, educational, and will
no doubt be the means of inspiring
many a young mafi and woman to
seek that worthy attainment in life—
a college education. It is a unique
volume and will likely have a iar^e
iuftuence. The author is himself one
wliy is working his way through col
lege, which he considers a quite for
tunate circumstance.
EVENING s:::smo^,
The evening session began at eijfht
o*i:iock. The first address was by D,
B. Honeycutt, on ‘'A^i Ideal Carrier.”
He empha.'^ized the iniporiancc of the
tarried being kiiid and pleasant and
genial to the patrons. Mr. T. C.
Smith, of Gastonia, followed with .*.j
adore? s on “An Ideal Patron.^* He
showed that there are several differ-
eiit k^lds of good patrons. Some give
the carriers good thiiigs to eat often,
'others keep the roads in good condi
tion, and stii^ others prove themselves
to be real friends at alt times. All of
these things go to make the ideal pa
tron.
