The highest grade in Science for the year was made by Cadet Preston Lewis Gray, Jr., As he took the Science medal the session of 1912-13, he was not eligible to take it again and this honor was awarded to the next con testant, Cadet Captain Frank T.

Among other choice expressions, “asinie,” “falsifier,” “strained effort, to get an appropriation,” “brains at the base of his tongue instead of his head,” in debate on the floor of the Senate remind us that though “the old order changeth,” there|is enough of it left in the upper branch of Congress to’ preserve the distinction betv\eeji en tente cordiale and senatorial i-ourtesy. Senatorial courtesy is a cloak that covers a multitude of forensic sins. .H acts as a galvanized armour of im pervious resistance, when it comes to injury from the fiercest shafts of pas sion. If the Tillmans and McLaurins can engage in their fisticufiis, surely the oratorical champions can hold their little carnivals of name-calling without any violence to this traditional code of ethics. While it is disappointing for breth ren not to dwell together in unity, there seems to be something excep tionally entertaining just now in these little tete-a-tetes.

So it took 16 months to the day for him to learn after his first trial how the Court of Appeals regard*ed the law in his trial, and there is no reason now why it vshould not take just as long this time. Next Friday, when Justice Seabury will sentence Becker, he will set a date for execution, but Becker will not be execu^’ed then. In cases of con viction in the first degree an appeal to the higher court is mandatory and the notice of appeal acts as a stay. But Becker will be taken to Sing Sing immediately after sentence, unless Justice Seabury himself allows him to remain for a while in the Tombs, and will have to spend more anxious months in the death house, vi here he spent 16 months after his first conviction, waiting for the Court of Appeals to decide again. appearance, been perfectly cleansed; newly painted inside and out, and there is not a hotel in North Carolina today that is in bet ter condition for taking care of the traveling public.

We have occasionally expressed the opinion that the health department of the government of North Carolina reaches and maintains a state of higher scientific efficiency than any other. This is a natural result of the facts that the department is backed by a scientific pro fession, and manned by specialists. In preventive medicine and in education for sanitation this df^partment of the state IS progressive and aggressive. Good work is being done by some of the county departments. There is a vast amount of etfoit along right lines in the municipalities. It is well indeed that these things can be said. No other state is more in need of an intelligent and efficient health service—none needs it so much.

The magistrate sentenced him to six months in the workhouse. The oft'icer placed the offsnder w’here he will have ample lime to contemp late the contemptible practice, in which onlv ruffians engage, of inter fering with people when they are at public worship, and it may be safely predicted that the lesson taught in his punishment will be thoroughly learned by him, and that he will never have to serve ?notner term for such offense during all the years of his life.—Ten nessean A Rest Room JNeeded The D 3ering and McCormick Binders Mowers and Rakes, Oliver Rid ing Cultivators New Perfection Oil stoves, and Tyson & Tones Buggies manhood” are to be wrecked by the combination strangle hold, high dive and double flip before these needed reforms are put through?
