The occasion was a lecture upon Browning by Prof. Edwin Minis of Trinity College, . Durham, following the lines of study pursued bj the Club. After a graceful introduction by Dr. Ben. K. Hays, Dr. Minis in his well known illuminative style, proceeded to demonstrate the wonderfu-l genius and poetic art of Browning, showing us, that of all the Poets, Browning was the Poet not of transcendentalism, but of Humanity. He did not hold himself aloof from his fellow-men, but rather loved to mingle with the crowd, and with his deft lyre to portray the heights and depths of human nature in alijth'eir Protean forma and especi ally the very glory and joy of living H-the- glory and joy of struggle, of .ftArtentne serving ;or delicious re freshments, the guests departed, one and all wishiiTg that another occasion miiVhlMoriv '"thz'rii lb a T rnnr rf.i? nihtf ":.:nf. o- T'rUilSkiil itf M sni sis' ; Cf."- School teacher wanted to teach in private family 3 months.

Good Roads for Granville. ; Meeting of County Commissioners.

Immediately on the adjournment of an amount equal to the cost of, say, 100 i the old Board, the Board-elect was miles of macadam roads, sell these j sworn in as Commissioners of Gran bonds as Chis money may be needed, let the building of the main roads to responsible contractors, under the su pervision of a competent engineer and have the convict force to put in thor ough order the cross roads leading to these main roads. We believe our present Board of County Commission ers is composed of men who are anx ious to see Granville take her place with the other counties of this section of the State in the matter ot road building, but they cannot have this work done unless sufficient money is provided. Our county bonds at five per cent interest should sell for a pre mium. As will be noted from the fol lowing news item our neighbor county Alamance has just sold her good roads bonds at a good premium: "Burlington, N. C, Dec. 8. The good roads bonds issued by Alamance county to improve her public highways were sold at Graham on last Monday to Thomas J. Bolger Co., and Farson Son & Co., of Chicago. The denomi nation of the bonds was two hundred thousand dollars, running fifty years at 5 per cent., dated January 1, 1909. They brought $220,260." Surely our people can agree upon a matter of such vital importance. We have had a taste of good roads, let us have more and better ones. Landown ers and business men, instruct your able Representative in the Legislature to have enacted a law making it possi ble to bring about this desired end. Cor. "My Dixie Girl." .

From the Xew York San To t'lie Editor of The Sun: Sir Having observed in jour col umns some discussion of, the famous conversation between the Governor of South Carolina and the Governor of North Carolina on a thirsty theme. I beg to call your-attention to an article which appeared 'not very long ago in the Nashville American and a copy of which I enclose herewith. I submit sir, that ti 3 circumstantiality of Major Hemphill's narrative, redolent of true Southern eloqueuce.establishes- beyond question the authentic source of the fa mous legend. Base imitators,like Mr. E. Macy Littleton; mere romancers, like Mr. Meredith Nicholson, in his "Little Brown Jug at Kildare," fade away before Major Hemphill, for Ma jor Hemphill is the real thing. ANDREW WILLIAMS. Washington, D. C. That remark was made a great ma ny years ago. It has been so long that even in South Carolina the name of the particular Governor has been for getten, while elsewhere it is an open question with many whether the re mark was made by the Governor of of South Carolina to the Governor of North Carolina or vice versa. For the latter I can say that the suggestion came from the South Carolinian, as anyone would know avIio is acquainted with the true story of the historic inci dent, for everyone knows that- a South Carolina man, to say nothing of the Governor, would neyer get in a condi tion to forget the rules of Southern hospital ity. The version as it has come down is that of a North Carolina historian. Who he was 1 do not know.but his recital of the momentous incident is as follows: "A great many years ago the Gov ernor of North Carolina received friendly visit from the Governor ot South Carolina. After a real North Carolina dinner of bacon and yams, the two Governors lit pipes and sat in the shade of the back veranda with a demijohn of real North Carolina corn whiskey, copper distilled, within easy reach. "There was nothing stuck up about 1 rcrfirrftislthQ and ! ;f- . attempting rvio o it was just W tfe fact j smoked and Vsot" and smoked,; eveiy m hard for me to . n-.tii. an erect 'pc tWti jonee while faking a mutual null Vitioul The kidney seeraions' na'Wi th-Jemijotm ; witn the aa or OQurji tuopagsuemocrat y two ijovernors was on ttu sortMecE-.oa- turpentine ana rice.tne staples 01 tneir respective states, and the further they got into the subject the lower dowri thev crot into the iu, and the lower down they got into the jug the drier the Governor of South Carolina got, who was a square drinker and a warm man, with about a million pores to ev ery square inch of his hide, which en-j abled him to histe in a likely share of corn juice or other beverage and keep his carcass at the same time well ven-s tilafced and generally always ready for more, while the Governor of North Carolina was a more moderate drinker but was mighty sure to strike the bot tom at about the twelfth drinh, like as if nature had measured him by the gourdful. "Well, they sot and smoked and ar gued, and the Governor of North Car olina was as hospitable as any real Southern gentleman could be, for he ladled out the whiskey in the most lavish manner, being particular to give his distinguished guest three drinks to one and gauging his own dose with great care, for fear if he didn't he might loss the thread ot his argument and the demijohn might run dry before the Governor of South Carolina should be ready to dust out for him, in which case it would look like he had not properly observed the laws of hospi tality, which would have been a self- inflicted thorn in his side for years to come and no amount of apology could ease his mind or enable him to feel warranted in showing his countenance to his fellowmen,especially in his home district, where for generations it had been a main point with every gentle I man to keep his visitor well supplied with creature comforts and to hand him a good gourdful as a siirrup cup when about to take his departure for the bosorn of his family. ' Singular to relate, the cautiousness I manifested by the Governor of North Carolina was of no avail, for at one and the same moment the jug went dry and the Governor of North Caro- i ..v. - u?o onKcnnnont ivi - r f J Ho . ! tion. when he learned the fact after 1111 VI . 1 1 1 111:11 A1 ilia nuiiatuutiit uiuiuiuvhi Honor Roll of Salem Sdiaol. 6th Grade Florence Dement, Eloise Crews, Edward Crews, Emma Hart. 5th Grade T:i7.:-:"e Currin, Eugenia, Crews.
