Very few of the old time rail fences are seen now and it will be but a short time until they are gone forever.

Harding Sayi They Are Not a Panacea, but Help To Weather Crises. Charlotte Observer 2Sd. But for the part played by the Federal Reserve bank system in the drama of the great economic crisis of, 1920, it would have developed into the greatest financial tragedy of modern times, Governor W. P. G. Harding, of the resorve system, de clared in his address on "The Fed eral Reserve System What It is and What It is No,t" at the Made-in-Carolinas exposition building yes terday afternoon. Governor Harding declared that the banking system is not a panacea forall economic and financial ills and cannot prevent periods of de pression in the future, but that it can greatly modify them. "The banking situation has great ly improved and with respect to it the gloomy forebodings of last win ter are no longer justified and can be dismissed. The process of .read justment has' not been completed, but evidence are multiplying that the corner has been turned and that we have passed most acute stage of the readjustment period,' declar ed Governor Harding. "With proper cooperation on the part of the merchant and banker, those engaged in agriculture have now opportunities and prospects which were not anticipated a few months ago and it is of vital impor tance that this cooperation be given, Governor Harding declared, saying that much will depend upon the manner of which the craps are mar keted. Cotton Price Advance. The operation of the inevitable law of supply and demand caused the recent advance of the price of cot ton, economic causes and not to any increase in the loans of the federal reserve system or to any expansian of currency, he declared. " It should be remembered," Gov ernor Harding continued, "that in order to maintain our nroduction we must push our foreign trade. We caYmot maintain our foreign trade on the basis of the gold stock of other nations and some means must be devised for extending long time credits aboard or of interesting American investors in foreign prop erties and securities, in order that the exchange rate which now runs so heavily against other nations may be corrected. "We must continue to buy from foreign countries those things which ihey can produce better or n'ore cheaply than we can and exchange commodities with them. If we de termine to do business with and for ourselves alone, it seems inevitable that we must reduce our production to meet merely American requirements." FUNERAL MR.

Foust addressed the students and Rev. J. Clyde Tur ner, of the Greensboro First Baptist church, conducted the devotional ex ercises and spoke to the students on behalf of the churches of the city. The large student body of 1,000 students overflowed the college auditorium, and many were unable to secure seats. Though college classes have been in progress since last Thursday, this was the first normal assembling of the student body, over 500 of whom are new students. President Foust urged the stu dents to grasp the significance of the year's work ahead, and spoke of the growth and development of the col lege. "This year is not only the be ginning of a new chapter in the his tory of the college," he said; "it is really the beginning of a new vol ume. Never have I felt so much con fidence in the future of the college as during these opening days."

It is indeed a sad occasion for us as we meet here today to pay our res pects to Freeman 'Henkle who died on the battlefields of France. Our iiearts aie filled with sorrow as we gaze upon the casket within which lies the remains of our playmate, classmate, and sincere friend. At Rock Springs campmeeting only a few years ago freeman and I met perchanco and we recalled the happy days we had spent together. ot hov we had played base and baseball, an! of how, with pop-sticks we used to charge across that old big gully and around yonder pond at our imagineiy foes. Little then, as I shook his hand and bade him farewell, did I dream that we would be called across the seas to help quell the fearful death waltz to which the Demons of hell were dancing with fiendish glee. Little, then, did I dream that Free man would be called from a foreign land and in the prime of life to make the supreme sacrifice for the country he loved so well. He did not wear the leaf of a major, the eagle ot a colonel, nor the stars of a general, yet he possessed the no blest qualities of manhood. "In him the elements were so blended that na ture might stand up and say to all the world "here is ff man'' with all that word implies." ? He was a christian gentleman as well as a brave soldier. He was gen tle as only the truly brave are. He had high courage for action and for titude for adversity. He was honest, clean and unafraid. He was loyal and ' devoted to his friends and had great respect for his enemies. His love for his country, his home and his friends was akin to a passion, lit; went to his reward leaving behind a name untarnished to his posterity, He was unstained from the viles and vices of camp life. I feel safe in saying that he never did anything that would reflect discredit on him self, his country, his home or his friends. He was glad to live end not afraid to die. He gave freely and voluntarily his future for ours today. The future was radiant with prom ise for him and et he laid his hones and ambitions for the greater thing Of life on the altar of his country. We have all suffered from the reac tions and disillusionments of the post war period. Indeed, we have come to question whether or not the war was worth all it cost, and well we might when we stand in the presence of this eloquent reminder of its terrible cost. .But let us hope that Freeman did not uie in vain. He did not experience the disap pointments that have been our lot; he went out to the land where disappoint ments never come, to the land of eter nal vouth. What ever has been your loss and I am fully corscioos of the terrible loss we have all suffered in his gofng he suffered no loss. True a few yearn werel?!:pped from his life. He died with the smile of child-hood still playing on his lips, the radiant glow of life's morning sun still shin ing in his face. But these years that were clipped off his life were grafted on to his eternity. The memory of his noble character has been of untold worth to me, and I am sure that this is true of all who knew him. To know him was to love and admire him. We could but admire his noble qualities, his sunny disposi tion, his generous nature and his un conquerable spirit. What ever hardships that mav be falls us in the future, Freeman sleeps m peace. What ever hardships that are to befall the generations, yet un born, Freeman sleeps in peace. Anoth ed Alexander The Great may come out from Macedonia, conquer the entire world and weep bitterly because there are no more worlds to conquer. Anoth er Julius Caesar may hold a mighty empire in the grapple of his own hands, another Carthoginlon warrior may pu&h his armies to the top of the snow-clad peaks of the mighty Alps and gaze across the sunkissed plains of Italy beyond. Another Napoleon Boneparte may come out from the Isle of Corcia and brandishing a sword dripping with gore may ravish Enrope with fire and blood. Another German emporor may rally the Teu tonic hordes and rush them down P cross the sweet land of sunny France to trample her shining lilies in the dust of shame. But Froeman peace fully sleeps. I he stars in heaven may lose their course, earths may tremble and dying men may groan, fierce fiery warriors may fight upon the clouds nntil there rains a ghastly dew, but Freeman's sleep is undisturbed. When a soldier died in France his comrads often remarked that he had gone west. Freeman went west went past that western border-land where there is no setting sun where time stretches out into eternjty-r-where the beneficient light of God's eternal love shines perennially on that mighty host to whom Almerene must havebeen a welcome addition. There on that eternal camping ground he has pitched his tent in company with many of his comrades and the' other immortals. They wrll wait there on that camp ground until the chief higg ler sounds the great assembly far thps,e who are still watching on, the shores of time.
