GREENSBORO, N. C
GRATIFYING;
Trainming School For
Guilford County.
It is a source of much gratification
to small group of club women with
' whom a training school for neglected
boys has' long been a hobby, to know
that the men of the county are being
aroused to the need of such an inatitu-
; tion and that there are prospects of
their vision soon becoming a reality.
A meeting, which is full of eignifl-
. eance, was held in High Point Wednes
day, at which were present a number
of leading men whose attention has been
called to the lack of proper provision
for a too long neglected class in need
of sympathy and protection.
Among those present were: County
Superintendent of l'ublic Instruction
Thomas R. Foust, Dr. W. M. Jones, Rev.
Melton Clark, Dr. J. L. Munn, Professor
W. C. A. Hainmcl, Jlr. R. C. Hood and
Judjie S. Glenn Frtiwn, of lireeensboro;
City Superintendent of Schools Hnynes,
Judge Kdmonds, Mayor Tute, Messrs.
Parker, Fitzgerald, Cook and1 JIcFar-
land, of High Point.
The occasion of the meeting was to
formulate plans for putting in operation
such a school as the originators of the
movement had long had in mind and
for the establishment of which provis
ion was made by an act of the lust Gen
eral Assembly.
Judge Brown, who is a humane man.
as most of our municipal judges are,
realizes that there is something wrong
with the system everytime a small boy
is brought before him for some grave
offense against an individual or against
society an offense which cannot go un
punished and yet not grave enough to
put one of his age and understanding
in the criminal class. To get such boys
on the right track, under proper influ
ences and where they can be taught the
lunuamentuJs of good citizenship, is the
purpose ot those who are urging a train
ing school for Guilford,
The project will be submitted to the
County Board of Education at their
meeting February 7, and if endorsed by
them the matter will be taken up with
the Hoard of County Commissioners, ask
ing an appropriation for same.
A committee made up of interested
citizens from Greensboro and High Point
will present plans. Those so far named
are Messrs. Peacock, Edmonds, Haynes
and Tate, of High Point; Greensboro
Dames to be announced later.

The New Creamery.
A new up-todate creamery seems now
a certainty for Greensboro, it being un
derstood that it will be in operation by
or before the first of April It has been
announced that Mr. J. A. Hornaday, who
has been operating the Oakendale Home
Creamery near Liberty, will be in charge
and that the output will be from ten
to fifteen thousand pounds of butter
per montn. fanners are being urged
to put in as many cows as possible and
indications all point to success in this
new and very profitable industry in

Successful Campaign.
. In the two days' canvass for mem
bers by the Greensboro Chamber of
Commerce this week many new members
were secured and nearly $1,500 sub
scribed by live business men who ap
preciate the good work being accom
plished by the Chamber. The sixteen
gentlemen who went out to take the
public pulse in regard to this very im
portant factor in the city's upbuilding
report nothing but praise for Mr. Whar
ton's regime and only predictions for a
continuance of the Chamber's useful
ness and necessity, :

A Standard School.
County Superintendent of Schools
Thomas R. Foust and County Superin
tendent of Health W. M. Jones have
made plans for what they consider a
standard school, which, if adopted, will
revolutionize public school buildings in
Guilford county. These plans, which
will be submitted to the County Board
of Education for approval, are the last
word in convenience and sanitation, and
the hope is that they will be accepted.

v A Live City.
Richmond is just getting ready to ad
vertise in all the towns in Virginia,
North Carolina, South Carolina and Ten
nessee. She goes after business with all
kinds of newspaper advertising, litera
ture of all sorts, and sends out boosting
trains and stops at nothing. As Rich
mond has done this for several years,
and as each year the appropriation is
larger and the enthusiasm increased,
we take it that it pays a town to adver
tise, the same as it pays the merchant.
Publicity will do the trick provided al
ways yon have the goods to make good
what yon profess or propose doing. . -

Prof. Holt Recovering.
Jim Wilson, a negro, who confessed
that he murdered Mrs. William Lynch-
was shot to pieces by a mob of some
three hundred otherwise law-abiding cit
izens. The Governor had sent troops to
disband the mob but twenty minutes
before the arrival of the soldiers the
negro's head had been pounded into a
pulp and his body riddled with bullets.
The remains of the unfortunate wretch
were thrown into the bushes by the road
side, and the chances are that the in
cident is closed.
Most every state in the union has had
its lynching bees. The South for a long
time was the subject of discussion in the
matter of negro lynching, but it seems
that when a colored man kills a white
person it is hard to restrain the race
feeling. Of course there have been a
thousand murders committed in thi
state where no mob appeared, and it is
only because of the sickening details
that we remember so much about the
lawless ones who go out to avenge the
murder of a white citizen.
Mob law is always wrong. There is
no legitimate excuse for it no man can
honestly defend it. but when a commu
nitv is stirred and the racial prejudice
appears you might us well talk to a
tornado and ask it to blow lightly as to
ask a determined mob to stay its uand.
And the grim philosopher who views the
matter ' calmlv is often constrained to
draw on opinion to the effect that per
hups the severity of punishment im
posed by a mob is worth while that it
suggests to others who might undertake
a crime similar that it is certain death,
The mob onlv means to kill the guilty
man. But it gets excited and it shoots
and it burns and it does things that
puts barbarity and savagery to shame.
And the state where the mob does it9
fiendish work is not helped any by such
proceedings. However, we have laws
against the mob; we have laws against
munv things, but when men become de
termined they generally dare to do. The
Johnston county tragedy is to 'be deeply
regretted.

BITE ANYTIME.
The Old Black Bass Must Eat AU
Winter. '
People who think black bass won't
bite only in the spring and fall are very
much mistaken. Last Wednesday we saw
Col. Z. V. Conyers land a couple of real
beauties at Hamburg ana 'your uncle
hung one, but in the excitement of the
moment let him get away. Bass must
eat and if you go after them any time
they will bite.
Wednesday was an ideal day warm
as summer, but the water hadn't warmed
up any. In the North fishermen cut
holes through the ice and catch pickerel
and bass can always be hooked if the
pond is not too large. It Is said by old
fishermen that the bass goes to deep
water in cold weather1 down far enough
to get warm and keep warm but if
there is no deep water and he has no
overcoat, of course he must swim around
in order to keep up circulation. And
while swimming thus, if you drop
tempting live bait in front of him, the
chances are that he will Dite.
O
Improving the Service.
One of the most delightful hospitali
ties ever dispensed at the local Y. M,
C. A. was the banquet given the carrier
boys of the Greensboro Daily News and
the Daily Record Tuesday evening. The
boys were out in full force and showed
their appreciation by thoroughly enjoy
ing the occasson.
Mr. Sam Bradshaw, as toastmaster,
presided with his usual genial and hearty
manner, which appealed strongly to the
boys who listened attentively while he
told them about the newspaper business
of thirty years ago, dwelling upon the
important part played by the carrier
boy, without whom the daily newspaper
could not fulfill its mission.
' Mr. J. Norman Wills, president of the
Merchants' association, was in his hap
piest vein when responding to the toast
"My Carrier." Entertaining stories pre
faced bis more serious remarks intended
to impress upon the boys the pleasure
and reward of faithfully discharging
tneir duties.
Mr. Albert Kowlan responded, with
equal felicity, to the toast ' Mly Custom
era, ana Mr. I., a. jenress, responding
to the toast "The Carrier and the Busi
ness," gave as three cardinal virtues
of a carrier boy punctuality, accuracy
ana courtesy.
Professor D. D. Carroll, of Guilford
College, was the guest of honor, and de
livered a forceful address on the "News
boy as a Patriot."
Miss Annie E. Isler Dead.
After an illness of several weeks Miss
Annie E, Isler died Thursday mornmg
at St. Leo's hospital.
Deceased had been a resident of
Greensboro for about seven years, dur
ing which time she had made many
warm friends, winning the confidence
and esteem of all who knew her. For
the past year or two she had been con
nected with the Jefferson Standard Life
Insuracnce company, v here her ability
was recognized and her loyalty to the
interests of the company appreciated by
officers and office companions. She was
a daughter of the late Rev. S. H. Isler.
the well-known Presbyterian minister,
coming from the eastern part of the
state where members of her immediate
family still reside.
Her mother, Mrs. S. H. Isler, and two
sisters; Miss ltessie Isler and Mrs. James
Kyle, live in Goldsboro. Another sister,
.Mrs. Kate Patrick, -of Washington. N,

Catholic Priest Dies.
I
Father Cyril De Muynch, a Catholic
priest, who was brought to St. Leo's
hospital about two weeks ago, from
Lynchburg, for treatment, died Monday
afternoon and the remains were taken
to Lynchburg for interment. The dead
priest was a native of Belgium but had
been several years in this country. He
was about 45 years of age.
The Southern railway is improving its
service on the Ashcville branch in order
to accommodate the many tourists who
visit the Land of the Sky. It is a mat
ter of regret that the Southern railway
is too poor to spend money like the
western roads spend it in advertising.
The coast roads spend their millions It
is said they can afford it because they
got millions for nothing from the gov
ernment but if we had the money to
spend in advertising Western North
Carolina, both winter and summer, a
tide of tourists would come this way
and sprinkle their gold all along the
route.
The scenery and climate of North
Carolina are not surpassed in the United
States, and all we lnek is the price of
publicity to let people know it. Some
day the railroads will be able, we hope,
to exploit this section as it should be
exploited.

Mrs. John Wilson 111.
All Greensboro Was shocked and griev
ed when the news spread Monday morn
ing that Mrs. John N. Wilson had been
stricken with paralysis while attending
services at Holy Trinity church Sun
day evening. To a wide circle of friends
over the state, among whom she is
greatly loved and esteemed, it will be
good news to learn that her, condition,
considered very serious at the time,
shows gradual improvement, attending
physicians now giving hope of a speedy
recovery.

Act of Heroism.
The heroine of the hour in Greensboro
is Lizzie Reid, a negro woman, who on
Monday afternoon rescued from a fright
ful and certain death two little white
children who had wandered from home
and gotten on the railroad tracks near
the Summit avenue street crossing, just
in time to be caught under the wheels
of a swiftly approaching train. The wo
man saw their danger and risked her
own life in rescuing them from their
perilous position. The children were
those of Messrs. J. J. .Mexicans and W.
C. Ogburn, both living on Chestnut
street.

Still After Grafters.
THE McADOO HOTEL.
Chances That Twelve Story Building
Will Go Up.
The situation concerning the proposed
new twelve story building to be erected
by the McAdoo estate is unchanged.
Mr. McAdoo can find suitable places for
his tenants notably the Conyers i
Sykes drug store, work will be com
menced at once. This building as pro
posed will be twelve stories high with
all the modern things tnat go witn a
first-class hotel The Conyers & Sykes
lease is valuable it runs for over two
years, and if they can be properly housed
the hotel is a go. The Conyers & Sykes
Co. has about six or eight thousand dol
lars invested in furniture fountains and
fixtures, and they are compelled to find
a room that will accommodate these
things. But as Mr. McAdoo is resource
ful and enterprising, the cnances are, as
the hope Is, that he will find a way to
overcome this last obstacle.

Mrs. Whitehead Klutts Very 111.

called from Washington to attend her
bedside.
The Mayor Takes a Hand.
Mayor Walter H. Woodson, of Salis

the commercial club of his city, and
calling upon all loyal citizens to lend

Home Talent Play.
Mr. John W. Sherman, of Roanoke,
Va., was in Greensboro this week with
a view to staging n home talent play.
We have not learned the result of his
efforts, but Greenslmro has plenty of

O-
Few Know It AIL
Mr. W. M. Jones, of Jamestown, one
time a railroad man and now a tiller
of the soil, says that many men know
many things, but he has found it a true
bill that no one man knows it all. He
says that he is always ready to look,
to listen and to learn, and that the
older he gets the less he thinks he
knows. And so it is with us old gray
beards. When young we imagine that
there is nothing left for us to learn, but
when we get along towards the end
of our journey, or over half way through
we discover that we have so much to
learn; that we know so little.
Greensboro
Mr. James W. Osborne, now of New
York, but once a Tar Heel lawyer, is
investigating the grafters in the wicked
city and the front page is called into
service to tell the wonderful things that
have been done. It appears these times
that if the lid is raised in politics, busi
ness, home-life or anything else, the
smell is great and ascends to heaven.
Osborne will show up the grafters but
alter he is through the next year will
disclose just as sorry a mass. New
York is honey -combed with corruption.
It breeds there and graft is everywhere.

Just a Small Item.
The census report of the Agricultural

Six billion dollars who can grasp the
enormity of such a sum of money.

For Seventeen Years.
Chief Deputy Marshal Bailey has re
tired from the game of politics because
he is a republican and republicans do
not eat pic these days. '
Mr. Bailey has been for seventeen
years in the service serving as deputy,
as temporary Marshal, as Chief deputy
and all the time he has made friends.
Marshal W ebb of course had to ap
point a "dimmycrat," and Mr. Bailey
retires and will perhaps ro to Western
North Carolina where he has a hardware
business established. All his many
friends wish him the best of luck.
Apologized.
Dr. Lankford, of Norfolk, a practicing
physician, and a red hot prohibitionist,
issued a statement the other day that
was intemperate. He wanted to say
something, and employed language that
was offensive to all the members of the
legislature. Accordingly the law-makers
resolved a few, and the Doctor was in
a pretty plight. But he exhibited his
sincerity by writing an apology and say
ing that in his zeal he said things he
had no business.
That is the way to do it. Tf vnn
shoot off your mouth in ager, when you
cool down if you see you made a mis
take, come out like a man and say so.
Dr. Lankford was under a cloud for a
few days now he !s understood, and
the sun shines brightly.
