Liberty of thought and speech is one of the most precious Ideals of modern civilization. It is to be re gretted that infractions of this great principle should be encountered in our own State. The howling down of President Charles L. Coon of the State Teachers' Assembly at last week's meeting of that body in Ra leigh was an outrage upon the good name of North, Carolina. He was telling some unpleasant truths truths that cut to the core and some 'hit dogs" howled so loud that he speaker could not continue his address. It is true that Coon chose a rather nopportune time in the sense that Champ Clark was the guest and was the next speaker, and some thought that our State's "dirty linen" edu cationally speaking should not be aired before so august a personage as Speaker Clark. However, this is no excuse for such marked illiber ally and discourtesy. Coon should have been allowed to speak right or wrong. But more especially, since he was pointing out some grave evils in our educational system that need remedying.

Reports from Halifax County say that the farmers in that section are still picking cotton and will not fin ish before perhaps the first of March. Labor is more scarce than usual, and notwithstanding the fairly good price paid cotton pickers, they cannot be secured, and the farmers are forced to see their cotton ruined in the field - in many instances. The German-American, cotton mill at Draper, Rockingham County, has been sold at public auction and pur chasedby the Thread Mill Company at Monticello, Ind., its bid being $435,000 for the real, property, in cluding the land, buildings and ma chinery, and $78,000 for personal property, Including stock on hand, cotton contracts and supplies.
