Systematic Work ami Instruction at the Stonewall Jackson Training School Doing a Marvelous Work In Producing Useful Men From lloys Who Would be Lost. BY SAM I. PARKER. The Stonewall Jackson Manual Training and Industrial School, lo cated near Concord, is doln;; the Most important philanthropic work of any Institution in the State. It Is mak ing good and useful men out of many bad boys, who. if they were allowed to continue to prey upon society, or were thrown in jails or p-if on chain gangs with older and hardened crim inals, would i.ake altocet!u-r worth less and dangerous citizens.. Yet, many well Informed people scarcely know there is a Jackson Training School (or State reformatory) In North Carolina, much less the good work it Is doing. Mr. J. P. Cook, State Senator. Sec retary and Treasurer of the North Carolina Railroad, editor of the Up lift, chalman of the board of trust tees of the Stonewall Jackson Manu al Training School, and the most in terested man in the State in the de linquent boy, deserves more credit than any other person for the setab lishment and success of the institu tion. He has been an untiring work er for the cause for many years a plan for a reform school for boys was in his mind years before he had brought the matter before the Legis lature. Mr. Cook can be justly called the Father of the Jackson Training School. In accordance with an act of the Legislature of 1907, the school was begun. The law permits the institu tion to receive donations, and it is chiefly due to several liberal minded people that the school has made such wonderful progress for the five years it has been in existence. Mr. Caesar Cone, of Greensboro, one of North Carolina's most successful business men, has furnished the material to make the work uniforms for the boys since the opening of the school. In January 1909 the first cottage was completed. It is a gift by the King's Daughters of North Carolina, and was erected on a three hundred acre tract of land which was donated by the city of Concord. Since that time many additions have been made Mr, and Mrs. W. N. Reynolds, of Win-Bton-Salem, contributed a sum suffi cient to build a handsome barn; Mr. and Mrs. O. T. Roth, of Elkin, N. C. furnished the means to erect the Industrial building, in which is lo cated the well equipped schqpl de partment, printing office, wood working shops, engine room, and space for the storage of lumber and supplies: the Administration build ing and two more cottages have been constructed, and at present, a beau tiful chapel is being built another gift of the King's daughters. The campus and buildings are beautiful, well arranged and convenient, visi tors are struck with the beauty and good order of the Institution. The act of the Legislature estab lishing the school very clearly shows the purpose of the school. It reads as follows: "Whereas, It appears to this General Assembly that there are in the State many youths between the ages of seven and sixteen who vio late the criminal law, and that while such youths should be detained and punished and taught the doctrines of religion, good morals, and how to work, it would be to the best interest of such youths and expedient that they be not associated with older and more hardened criminals," it further Btates. "That all inmates shall, if possible, be taught the pre cepts of the Holy Bible, good moral conduct, how to work and be indus trious." Boys should not be sent to the Training School as a punishment for their infraction of the law. The school is not a penal institution and does not attempt to administer pun ishment to a boy for his past wrongs, They are left behind him forever, as far as the school is concerned. The school tries to encourage him to lead a clean life, mentally, morally, and physically: to form correct habits, keep his word, be obedient and Indus trlous, to train his mind, learn t trade, obey God and be a man. His record as an inmate of the school is what makes him a good or a bad "prospect" In the eyes of the officers Of the Institution, Each boy goes to school half the day, and the other half he is at work in one of the Industrial departments. The course of study given in the school department Is thorough and practical, and It is amazing to notice the progress that some of the pupils make in their books. In the indus trial department boys are taught printing, farming, gardening, wood working and the handling of machin ery, under skilled Instructors. A regular period of time Is set aside every day for play and recrea tion, the boys give a military drill and take physical culture exercises fpr n hour, then go to the athletic lieia tor an nour eacn mernoun They take a great interest in athlet ics, and are especially fond of track athletics, base ball, and foot ball. A competent teacher has charge of this work, and, as a result, the physical condition of the boys is very good. Devotional services are held in the cottages and school department daily. very Interesting and effici ent Sunday school Is operated by the officers of the institution, the boys at tend service every Sunday at one of the neighboring churches, and fre- nuenlv some of the most noted minis ters of the South visit the school and make addesses especially to the boys. The discipline of the school is semi- military and is strict the policy be ing mild firmness. Most of the boys sent to the school are said to be in corrigible, and unmanageble by their parents. This condition in a boy is soon overcome by the system used in the government of the boys. A boy i Anus himself doing involuntari ly what the other boys are doing. Many boys who are classed as incor rigibles before going to the school be come respectful and obedient without the use of corporal punishment. Cor poral punishment is inflicted only when necessary to enforce discipline or correct evil habits. This punish ment is almost entirely inflicted in the presence of the other boys, and always in the right spirit by the of ficers. However, it is a fact, that the steady occupation and regular habits of the boys are the best means of ob taining discipline. No idleness or slothfulness is allowed. The boys must eat and sleep regularly and keep clean. When these rules are enforc ed together with stedy work, which proves Interesting and instructive to the boys, their government becomes much easier than their former ac quaintances would suspect. The offi cers learn the boys nature, and the privileges and honors that a boy priz es are allowed him when he proves himself worthy of them. A boy, more than any other being in the world, is influenced by environment. Everyone who is acquainted with the work of the Jackson Training school knows that many of the boys are being saved for the State, and that they will in the future, render a dislnct service in some important lines of human endeavor. The out door life which they lead, the strict though kind discipline, the regular hours for work and play, the whoK some food, all combine in producing a splendid lot of vigorous and ambi tious boys. The capacity of the school is en tirely too small to meet the demand of the State for an institution of this nature. At present, there are accomo dations at the school for only nlney boys. The trustees are desirous of doubling this number to meet the de mand at the earliest possible moment. There should be accomodations for, at least, an average of two from each county in the State. The public spir ited men and women of North Caro lina will find this great humanitarian and conservation work. Those who have a lively interest in boy lite and who give a passing thought to less fortunate folks, are urged to visit the institution. There are in the institu tion no skeleton closet. The public, knowing what is done here, cannot help from being deeply Interested. LAXD SPECULATOR IN WAY. Bion H. Butler Tell How Mere Spec ulatiun Retards Farm Develop ment and Drives Settlers Away Unused Land That Pays Little Tax Increases in Value at the Ex pense of the Neighbor Who Work. Mr. Bion H. Butler, editor of the Hoke County Journal, was in Monroe this morning for a short time while between trains. Mr. Butler is one of the men who are putting the sand hill section of North Carolina on the map. Some years ago he left the large newspaper offices in Phlladel phla and San Francisco where he worked, and settled at Southern Pines. His writings are adding to the fame of that section, and at the meet ing of the State Press Association at Wrightsville in June, Mr. Butler read a paper on opportunity in North Caro lina which was so striking that the State Agricultural department will print tens of thousands of copies to be circulated in other States. But Mr. Butler, like most thinking men now, sees the danger that lies in the way of developing our farms the danger of the land speculator. In a conversation in The Journal office this morning he said: "One thing we are trying to do over In Hoke county is to head off land speculation. Our people realize that if we are going to settle the country with people who will develop the land the developer must be considered and not the speculator. At Aberdeen is the office of the Sandhills Board of Trade, an organization covering several counties, and on the books of the Board land owners having land for sale at reasonable prices are asked to register that land at a figure that will tempt buyers, the figure to hold for months or a year, and the constant caution Is to make the price low enough and keep it low enough to get the land In action. "It is the newcomer who will hurry developments along. If we can go no faster than the present population ran nrove we will be slow in progres sing as we should. We want to put many more farmers into tho unset tied regions of Hoke county that they may help us to get more good roads and more good schools and churches and crossroads stores, and more good neighborhoods, and farms and social centers. "The one thing we always fear, In our county, and it is the same in ev ery other county, is the land specu lator. If our state would come bold ly to the front and put a good high tax on land values, especially on val ues that are rising from year to year, it would be the best possible form of tax. The case Is easily illustrated in a piece of land that I pass several times every month. Five or six years ago it .was sold for less than three dollars an acre, the price for the tract of five thousand acres being not far from $12,000. In that time many farms have been bought and develop ed all around this big tract of land. But on It not a thing is done. The owner lives in New York. From time to time Inquiries are addressed to him asking him if he will sell and the price. A response not long ago said seventy-five thousand dollars. "In the six years the progressive Industry of the neighbors has given this man an Increase in values of over sixty thousand dollars. The neigh bors have received nothing for what they have done for him. He has done absolutely nothing himself. I con tend that a fair proportion of that increase should be gathered by the county and state in the form of a good big tax levy on unused land. The farmers are making that value. The speculative owner gets it, and the farmers who create the value get nothing, and continue to pay increas ing taxes on their own lands, and paying the expenses of government that the owner of the idle land shares in while he profits by their develop ment. "I think our folks will realize the gross injustice of our present sys tem of taxation pretty soon, and that as North Carolina tries to attract se lers and sees that the coming of set tlers is to be largely a matter for the benefit of land speculators and that land speculation is going to make it more difficult for settlers to get lands as prices are put up, the State will lay an Increasing share of tax on specu lative land, and a smaller share on land that Is In use. "I see no other way to handle the situation. The farmer who uses his land for the common good of the State and county should not have to pay the taxes when the idle land that profits by everything the working farmer does, gets a constantly in creased value from the farmers' work. and pays ridiculously small taxes. What we want in Hoke county is de velopment. My notion is that if two men have each a hundred acres of land side by side and it is equally valuable in a wild state it should keep that relative value if one man improves his land and the other does not, for the man who improves his land elves an added value to the land thaWs Jiot Improved and he should not be penalized for doing it while the other man goes free. If any dis tinction is made the man who devel ops his land should be let off a little easier and the man who holds his land out of use should be required to pay a bigger amount in taxes, for he is making money by the other man's work, and at no cost to himself. "Yes, I am a little pronounced in my views, perhaps, but I believe in developing the resources of our coun ty, and not in turning all gain over to the land owner. Yes, I have some unused land in Hoke county, but that does not change things any because I happen to be among the offenders, My wild land is not doing anybody any good. The land along Bide it that has been cleared in the last two years is. The man who cleared his land there Is worth something to his section. My wild land Is not. But the foolish man who is making a farm beside my wild land is adding to my value and he Is paying more taxes on his land now while he is doing it. I do not think that is fair, nor good public practice. We want people in North Carolina to develop our resources, but the land specula tor stands at the gate to take toll of every one, and to put up the prices of land as fast as people come this way. We do not want to bring peo ple here for the benefit of land spec ulators. e want to give them fair chance when they come, and the only way to keep this movement from being for the benefit of the speculator and to keep prices from going where they will keep people away from the State is to tax the increasing values of speculative lands and keep those values down or make the increased value contribute to the general good and hold taxes on other property down." Death of MaJ. W. A. Evans. Pageland Journal. Maj. William Augustus Evans died at his home at Hornsboro about 2:30 o ciock &unaay morning, tie was about 82 years old and had been in failing health for several years, though he had been confined to the house only a few days. In his death a life that has been prominent In the affairs of the county for a long time was ended. He was born and raised near White Plains and made his home there until a few years after the war, when he moved to Hornsboro and there spent the re mainder of bis life. Mr. Evans served the full four years in the war. He was first lieutenant In the Chesterfield Light Artillery known as J. C. Colt s battery. He ably represented Chesterfield county in the South Carolina General As sembly back In the seventies. He was the last of the charter members of the Mt. Moriah lodge of Masons. and the sword he carried during the war is still in the possession of the lodge. He was twite married, the first time to Miss Annie Hennagan, of Marlborough county. No children were born to this union. The second marriage was to Mrs. Willie Poole, of Newberry. Mrs. M. J. Hough, of Chesterfield, Is the only surviving daughter of this union. His heart was easily tuoched by the call of ne.nl, and he could hardly turn down a request for help. He was a member of the Mt. Moriah Bap tist church, and his life bore him out In his profession. The county, and especially Hornsboro cbramunlty, has lost one of the most active and influ ential men that ever resided in It. The body was laid to rest In the cemetery at Chesterfield Monday af lernoon with Masonic honors, after a short funeral service had been con ducted by Rev. B. 8. Funderburg. WHERE THINGS ARE LIVELY. MRS. WOODROW WIIOX DEAD. Iktiiigs and HapiMningt in and Around W innate, With Some Sug gestions and Comments by the Journal's Correiondent. Wlngate, August 3. Misses Rosa and Jennie Womble are spending a day or two with their aunt, Mrs. Y. 11. Allen. Rev. J. W. Row ell. lecturer for the Masonic order, spent Monday in Win- gate on business. Wingate always extends the glad hand with the broth erly grip to Bro. Uowell. He spent last week in Moore county, where he says, crops are suffering badly for lack of rain. Bro. Howell will go from here to Mt. Gilead, for , per haps, the remainder of the week. Their friends were glad to shake hands with Mrs. Addie Joplin and daughters. Misses Ruth and Naomi, who came in Monday from the Greensboro Normal and Industrial. They will spend some time with their relatives and friends before return ing to the institution. Mrs. W. D. May and children of Charlotte are spending the week with the family of Air. May's parents, Mr. and Mrs. E. L. May. Mr. Carl W. Kayfield of Mt. Crog- han, S. C, a former student of The ingate School, is spending the week with friends In town. Mr. Ray- field expects to attend the coming fall term of this institution. Mr. John Watson and daughter, Miss Hope Watson, went on an ex tended visit among friends and rela tives in Taxahaw, Jefferson and Pageland last week. O. P. T. regrets very much that he was unable, through feebleness, to meet the candidates here Wednesday. Messrs. E. W. Griffin and son, Eus tace, his wife and step-daughter, lit tle Miss Genie, and Mrs. Frank Eu banks of Monroe spent a delightful hour Tuesday afternoon in the homes of Mr. and Mrs. H. P. Meigs and Mr. and Mrs. B. D. Austin, of Wlngate. A party composed of Messrs. E. M. Phifer, B. F. Phifer, J. C. Mclntyre, Vann Williams and J. N. Chaney mo tored from Wlngate Monday to Ba dln, the new town near the famous Narrows on the l adkln river, to take a look at that stupendous develop ment, one of the greatest projects of modern times. In the language of a member of the party, it proved to be one of the most interesting and de llghtful occasions of their lives. They returned safe Monday evening. They were caught, however, in a heavy rain near Rocky river. Mr. Thos. Ross is moving his fami ly into the residence of Mrs. Mlttle Snider "on North Main street. Mrs. Daisy Brewer has recently moved into the handsome new resi dence on North Main street. The candidates came, they saw, they spoke, they went. Pretty fine looking fellows, except some, add all full of promise(s) of course. Pity that they can t all be elected. Why not have an educational rally and picnic in the Interest of The Win gate School about the 15th or 17th? It will do good. Let the officials and faculty get busy. The annual protracted meeting at Meadow Branch will begin on next Sabbath, the 9th, at 11 o'clock. Pas tor Austin will be assisted by Rev. J. Q. Adams of Charlotte. Brother G. M. Stewart made a most Interesting talk In the Sunday School at Meadow Branch Sunday on the subject of the Thomasvllle Orphan age, which he recently visited. Bro, Stewart expressed himself as being highly pleased with the adminlstra tion and management of the institu tion and the great good resulting therefrom. He laid special emphasis, however, upon the fact that the insti tution was just now undergoing some hardships consequent upon the severe drought now prevailing in that sec tion, and made a strong appeal for help for those unfortunates. Brother Stewart's short lecture made a fine impression and doubtless its influence will have a good effect. O. P. T1MIST. A Sad Scene When Frenchmen Took iCave of Their Families. Salisbury Post. An eye witness reporting the scene at Badin when the many Frenchmen took leave of their families for the purpose of returning to their native land to fight the battles of their peo ple, declares that It was heart-rend ing indeed. More than twenty-live French soldiers on leave of absence and reservists who had been employ ed at Badin responded to the first call to return to their homes and many of these had their familes with them in this country. It was a sad scene, the farewell of these married French soldiers. They were leaving their loved ones perhaps for all time for the enemy's bullets may send them to eternity any time, and these scenes tend to bring home to us the awfulness of the terrible conflict opening up in Europe. Mure of the French reservists pass ed through Salisbury Monday night and last. These followed the first in stallments which left for the sea ports on Friday and Saturday of last week With the exception of some few of these who have become naturalized the great majority of the Frenchmen at Badin are in some way connected with the army. There are in the lot a number of officers who are return ing to their colors. For Road -Commissioner. I hereby announce myself a candl date for re-election to the office of road commissioner of Monroe town ship, subject to the Democratic prt mary. J. E. HENDERSON. Unexpected Event Came Yesterday Afternoon Had Iteen Sick a ltng Time and Grew Woi-sr Suddenly Her l-asf Thoughts Were for Her !Ll-land, Who Is Overwhelmed. Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, wife of the President of the United States, died at the White House at S o'clck yes- erday afternoon. Death came lifter brave struggle of month azait.st Brieht's disease with coniplicsiion. The President was completely un nerved by the shook, and his grief was heartrending. He bore up well under the strain, however, and de voted himself to his daughter. The end came while Mr. Wilson was unconscious. Her illness took a urn for the worse shortly before 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon and from then on she gradually gr-v weaker. Kneeling at the bedsid-s at the end were the President and their three daughters. Dr. Cary T. Grayson, U. N., and a nurse were in the room. and just mti-ide a door were Secre- ary McAdoo and Francis B. Sayre, Mr. Wilson's sons-in-law, and Mr. Tumulty, his secretary. CONGRESS ADJOURN?. Both houses of Congress adjourned when Mrs. Wilson's death v.aa an nounced, and for a brief time the wheels of the Government virtually- stopped. The beginning of the end came at 10 o'clock yesterday morning v.hen Dr. E. P. Davis of Philadelphia, who had been called In for '.-onsultatlon, realized the time for hope had passed. He took the President into the Red Room and there a in broken voice told him the truth. Mr. Wilson's face blanched, but he bore the shock well. He was Informed the end was a ques tion of hours. PRESIDENT TELLS DAUGHTERS. Mr. Wilson then took his daughters, Mrs. McAdoo, Mrs. Sayre and Miss Margaret Wilson aside and told them. Until then they had thought there was a chance for her recovery. From that time on the President and his daughters remained constant ly at the bedside. The President held his wife's hand and the three daugh ters were grouped nearby. Until she became unconscious Mrs. Wilson fre quently nodded to one or the other and smiled cheerfully. During the day Mrs Wilson spoke to Doctor Grayson about the Presl dent, of whose health she thought more thsji she did of her own. I A iE CARE OF HUSBAND. 'Promise me," she whispered, faintly, "that if I go. you will take care of my husband " it was the same touch of devotion which she so many times repeated Ujer constant anxiety having been that the Presi dent might no worry about her or be disturbed in official duties. The President returned to the sick room from the last conference with the doctor, his three daughter lean ing on his arm. Franclc Bowes Sayre and Secretary McAdoo, and Secretary Tumulty stayed outside the door. Mrs, llson lapsed Into unconsciousness but rallied. By 1 o'clock she began to sink rapidly. She still could rec ognize those about her and looked cheerfully toward them and smiled BECOMES UNCONSCIOUS. At 2 o'clock Mrs. Wilson still was conscious but her strength almost had departed and a few minutes later she sank into a sleep of unconsciousness from which she never e woke. For three hours the President and his three daughters gazed longingly Snto her eyes in the hope that she might speak again but she could not. The sun was casting its long shad ows from the Potomac to the south grounds, coloring the fountain?, jar dens and elms. DEATH COMES AT FIVE. There was hushed stillness in the upper apartments. All eyes were turned toward the southeast house. Just at the hour of five, death came. The President- and his daughters were in tears. Secretary Tumulty walked slowly to the executive offices with his head bowed. Quietly he an nounced to the correspondents that the end had come. FIFTY YEARS OLD. Mrs. Wilson was 50 years old and when she came to the White House was in robust health. Always a home lover, she never theless Immediately assumed the ar duous duties of the wife of a Presi dent. She took an aetiv? interest in public affairs and freqeutmy receiv ed delegations calling on the Presi dent when he was too busy with oth er matters. Even during her last ill ness, she frequently, ased to be In formed of the events of the Unit ed States and of the world. News of her serious illness was kept from the public until Wednesday when it was admitted her chances of recovery were slight. Her condition continuing to grow worse, Doctor Grayson this morning gave out a statement in which he described her illness as "alarminir." Mrs. Wilson was Miss Ellen Louise Axson, daughter of a Presbyterian clergyman, and was born at Savan nah, Ga. She was a student at the New York Art League w hen she met Mr. Wilson, who was then taking a post graduate course at John Hop kins. The President and Mrs. Wilson were married June 24, 1885. Mrs. Wilson was a sister of Prof. Stock ton Axson, head of the edpartment of English literature at Princeton and of the wife of Dean Edward El liott, of Princeton. ALL EUROPE NOW IN WAR.

I'y for mal declarations Germany and Aus tria are arrayed Htairist EniUu.d, France and Russia, with s:naiier countries thrown in. The first i.,ove of the Germans was to overrun France, and to do this they tn- i to push an army across Belgium a t!i-j easier way to get into France. li,it. the Belgians resisted the aueii.;: and unexpectedly checked the Gen...:n army, and in the first fighting si w eight thousand Germans. The i rsf big battle is expected to be r naval engagement between the English and German fleets. Commercial ess-s of Germany are falling into the hiiiid of England already. At two o'clock this morning the Associated Press said: Europe awaits with tense interest the outcome of two battles now ue- ing waged in the struggle of the nations. If report is to be credited the Brit ish and German fleets are engaged in a combat on the high seas, which will have an Important bearing on the conflict. GERMANS MEETING RESISTANCE. The German army of the Meuse, in its advance through Belgium, is meeting with determined resistance from Belgium forces. On Wednes day, Brussels reports declared the Germans had been repulsed all along the line, but yesterday the attack was renewed with greater energy. STORY ONLY HALF TOLD. Germany's version of what has transpired has not been received and therefore the story has only half been told. Under existing conditions of communications it will be long before the progress of the German arms can be recounted to the outside world. NOTHING KNOWN OF AUSTRIAN MOVEMENT. The same applies to movements of the Austria-Hungarian army, small detatchementts of which are operat ing against Servia and the remainder doubtless are being sent to check the Russian advance. Beyond the decla ration of war by Austria yesterday little Is known of what action Aus tria is taking, and only meagre de tails have filtered through of the Aus trian army's operations. STILL FIGHTING AT LEIGE. Paris, Aug. 6, 4:35 p. m. Official announcement is made that the bat tle continues to rage around Liege, Belgium. The German shell fire has reduced two Liege forts, but the Belgians continue to resist with un tiring energy. The Germans were able to use their light seige guns against the forts of Liege, which are 30 years old. Two of them were silenced and the G -r-man columns broke through. Thn other forts are holding out. The Belgians are making determined re sistance before the city. The situation at Liege according to the latest dispatches was as follows: It seemed certain that the fortifi cations could not stop the Germn ar my and the only question was wheth er its advance could be delayed. The fortifications already have held for ott hours and the fierce struggle the Germans had made and would still have to make, It was believed, w ould compel them to pause. If the German army succeeds in carrying Liege it will find itself con fronted by an entrenched camp at Namur, at which the Belgians are preparing to make a stand as fierce as that at Liege. The Belgian army was brilliantly fulfilling its task of delaying the German advance and It appeared cer tain the Germrn plan of campaign ing in Belgium would be hindered by' the obstinate stand of the Belgians. TENNESSEE SAILS. New York, Aug. 6. The armored cruiser Tennessee, converted for the time Into a treasure ship, left port ut 9:45 o'clock tonight to carry millions in gold to the many thousand Ameri cans who are in want in European countries. When the Tennessee nlsed out to ward sea she had aboard about $ti, 000,000 $3,000,000 from the Bank er's Trust Company, $2,750,000 u proprlated by Congress and about $300,000 entrusted to the r.aymast er's care by personal friends of indi viduals abroad. More private funds are expected to be placed with the Treasury depart ment here and it is likely that a sec ond shipment will be sent probably on the cruiser North Carolina. The Ten nessee's gold goes as a bulk lot of government money. The individual depositors' names are not mentioned, bu the delivery of the money to indi vidual drawees who have orders from their American shippers! will be made. This plan, directed by the War De partment is was believed In financial circle here, is to precent any ques tion of American neutrality. The gold was Insured against marine risks but rates were not annuonced. The teachers institute for the coun ty will begin next Monday. There will be an ice cream party at Carmel Saturday night, given by the Betterment Society. Proceeds to be used for seats for the spring grove which is being fitted up nicely for the public.
