C. u urnnd-flaita mail matter Subscription Rata One year $1.50 Six months .75 Advertising rates on application Telephone No. 54 FRIDAY, OCTOBER 17, 1919 WORTHY ACTION The Caldwell County Alumni As sociation of the University of North Carolina, at its meeting on University Day (Oct. 14), was fortunate enough to stray far from the well-beaten path of mere formality by ignoring the usual platitudinous phrases of loyalty and devotion and substitut ing something of interest and import to the whole people of the State something which, if followed up by suitable action, will reach far into the future. The association went on record as favoring the abilition of tuition at the University and memo rializing the legislature to supply the loss of revenue by appropriation. The action of the association is wise, far seeing and beneficent and in line with the prevailing thought of the age. Already such great States as Texas, Virginia, Wisconsin and oth ers have pointed the way and it has passed beyond the experimental stage. Why should the State expend its millions to plant, nourish and cul tivate the tree and then abandon it before it has fruited or even flow ered? Or why should it erect school houses all over the land and refuse to put roofs on them? The incon gruity of the thing and the wasteful ness of the policy has so influenced trustees and faculty that they have stretched the privilege of admission to the University to certain classes exempt by law. almost to the break ing point, and ..lmost to the van ishing point, as a revenue producer. It only remains as a bar to the wor thy poor and attaches the badge of charity to the less fortunate thou sands, a badge which the manly and high-spirited dislike to wear and of ten refuse to subject themselves to. There is no better way "to make the world safe for democracy" than by placing opportunity in the path of every aspiring man. This done, all scholarships and loan funds could then go towards paying board and other necessary expenses, and the boy could leave college without hav ing his future mortgaged for debts contracted in order to "give him a chance." Twelve or fifteen dollars a month is little for the great State of North Carolina, but it is a great burden to the boy struggling for an education. The same could be said fur the A. and E. and the State's women col leges. It is the privilege of equality, and not the amount of money in volved, that will tell. RL'XSER MADE COOP Criticism in these columns last week of Lieut. Runser proved to be unfounded. The News-Topic does not wish to do the aviator an injustice. There is no doubt that Runser's ma chine was out of working order, and his landing r.ear Lower Creek church was forced. After watching the avia tors work from the Lower creek field we are willing to accept the aviator's word that the landing place prepared in the fair grounds did not give suf ficient space for safe landings or as censions. The fair grounds runway was not long enough for the machine to get off the ground It was unfortunate that a misun derstanding occurred. The News Topic wishes to correct what might have been an injustice to the avia tor. In this connection we offered to carry a statement from Lieut. Runser. His statement says: I take this means of expressing my appreciation to the mayor and the people of Lenoir for their hearty co operation in connection with my air plane while in this city. The public in this vicinty was no doubt greatly disappointed for the failure of my engine, which of course caused me much worry and delayed my flying three days of the fair, but it was' indeed a great relief when I got to' fly the last day. Although the fair association lost confidence in me I stuck tfthe ship amidst a bombshell of criticism and got the- old bird in the air where every one could see it, and it is to be re gretted that the fair association was so unconeernea about me nying that the president remarked that his scalp was saved because I arrived, and he did riot care whether I flew or not. I did, but I found that the fair asso- : .. 4.; : l ,1 t i labiuii la nut miv ctiy ui ijeiroir, ana I leave with respect for the city. LIEUT. HARRY J. RUNSER. SPECIAL RATE FOR STATE FAIR The railroads -will put on a round trip fare to the State fair for the price of one and ft half fares. Tick ets go on sale Oct. 17 and are good for returning through Oct. 27. War tax of 8 per cent is added to the price of the ticket. Any woman can throw a stone at a heir but what's the use? SOME NEWS OF BOO NT: AND WATAUGA COUNTY (Watauga Democrat) , At 10 a.m. last Monday morning, in hte parlor of the home of Mr. and Mrs. N. L. Mast, a beautiful private wedding occurred, when their accom plished daughter, Miss Maude, was given in marriage to Mr. Paul Spain hour, son of Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Spain hour of Morganton, Rev. H. L. Pow ell performing the ceremony. The happy couple left at once fori Boone, leaving soon after for North Wilkes boro, where Mr. Spainhour is holding a position with the Highway Motor Company of that town. A short hon eymoon will be spent in Asheville and elsewhere. (Miss Mast is a grad uate of Davenport College.) Chestnuts are dropping and are bringing 8 cents a pound on the local market. Good price, but the crop is light. Very copious showers in various parts of the county during the past week, and farmers are again busy completing their long-delayed plow ing on account of protracted drouth. The Blair Hotel property in Boone changed hands last week, Messrs. Charles Lewis and Arthur Johnson, both of Cove Creek, being the pur chasers. The winter schedule on the Linville River railway goes into effect next Sunday evening, and, without further ' comment, this very drastic step taken ! by the company leaves Boone and I this end of the system practically I without passenger service for the i winter. A hard hit, this, but we are j tQssed one crumb of comfort pas ; senger rates are to be reduced to 'three cents a mile a little later on. 1 But, come to think, what good is a reduced rate without a tram on which ! to use the ticket? 1 The twenty clowns with the Rhoda Royal Circus do not "bask under the i spreading chestnut tree:" they both toil and spin original wit so funny ' that when it chances to penetrate the ' dressing rooms even the horses laugh. I This circus, combined with the Old Buffalo Wild West, is due to exhibit j here next Wednesday. ! NOTICE OF RE SALE ; North Carolina, Caldwell County. I Superior Court, before the Clerk ! C. A.
