The First Arbor Day. Charlotte Observer. The first Arbor Day in North Carolina should be made a no table one. It comes on Friday, November 5, so proclaimed by the Governor of the State. The measure of success attending the observance of the day will neces sarily depend upon the school children and the extent to which their interest may be enlisted. The enlistment of this interest is a duty devolving on the teachers. The excellent suggestion is made by Prof. J. S. Holmes, State Forester, that the teachers in all schools read the in the school rooms and then pin it on the wall as a daily remind er. The proclamation, itself, is instructive, in that it bears the great seal or' the State and is an ; attractive piece of typographic! work. Doctor Holmes says fur-' ther that a copv of the proclama tion has been sent to many of. the club women in the State, "because it was through them that the Arbor Day law was secured." Doctor Holmes ex presses the hope that these club women w ill cooperate as closely as poss'ble with the school au thorities in th? active observance of the day. It is suggested that a committee from each club offer 8 j We Know You | Want to j Save Money j —and we can save it for if you buy your Hats, Underwear, j ' Sox, Shirts, and all your needs from us.

For four hours Saturday Fifth avenue. New York city, was giv en over to the largest woman's suffrage parade ever witnessed anywhere. It was the women's appeal to place New York at the election on November 2 among the States which have given wo men the right to vote. Participated in by women from every State in the Union and from more than 20 foreign countries, by women from every phase of business, professional, artistic and i official life, the parade extended from Washington Square to Cen tral Park, and although it began shortly after 3 o'clock it was long after dark when the last march ers had finished. Suffrage leaders estimated that 30,000 women were in line. In addition, there were 5,'>00 men lepresenting, leaders said, only abjut half of the men who had signed pledges that they would participate.

There will be a box supper and ( cake-cutting given at Delta school house on Saturday evening, , November 6th, beginning at 7:30 o'clock. We intend to use the proceeds of this supper to supply . the school with new desks and , and a new stove, both of which we badly need. Big and little, old and young, are invited to at tend this party. Let us remember that every cent which we put into school furniture and equipment is help . ing our little ones to gain more ; knowledge. We, none of us, pay enough attention to the i arrangement and equipment of our schools. If any of the farm ers of the State had to put up with such poor farming tools and machinery as some teachers have of furniture, stoves, etc., there would be more farmers leaving the farm than we now have on record. i The schoolroom is the home of our children for seven hours! in the day for at least one hun dred davs of the year. This be ing the case, let us all try to do everything possible to help to j make our school the center of attraction in our neighborhood. Let every one join in this great work of community service and see to it that our schooli house is as well equipped as any in the county. Remember Delta school house X JV. r.th, at 7:30 p. m. MRS. JOHN WETMoRE, Teacher, j , Sandy Ridge, X. C. A Flea For Human life, j From President Harrison Washington, D. C., Oct. 2o\- Making a plea for the conser- i vation of human life, President' Fairfax Harrison of the Southern : Railway Company states that during the fiscal year, ended June JO, 1-17 trespassers were killed on the tracks of the Southern Railway. Mr. Harrison urges the development of a public senti ment that will put an end to the hazardous practice of trespass ing on railway property. "We have prepared a map show-' ing the point at which each tres passer was killed on the Southern ! Railway during the last year ar.d it looks like a map of the! monuments on the Chickamaugaj battle-field," said Mr. Harrison. "Fully one third of those killed' were school boys, 'hopping' trains, and a large percentage were valuable wage-earners, j walking on the tracks to or from their work. Very few were, tramps in the commonly accepted meaning of the term, i "These figures refer solely to persons walking on tracks, swing ing on trains, and otherwise in truding on railway property where they have no right or busi ness and do not include persons killed at crossings or those who for any reason have a right or duty to go upon railway prop erty. "Southern Railway Company :is doing all in its power to pre j vent accidents and injuries and iis having splendid co-operation j from its employees but no pre cautions on our part can save the \ man who deliberately puts him-1 self in the way to be struck by a train. Cannot a public senti ment be developed which will discourage this practice? This The First National Bank Mount Airy, /N. C.
