' The rapid and . long strides with which Nash" county has gone for ward during the past ten or twelve years along commercial, social and educational lines fully measures up to the pace of those sections of the State that have heretofore enjoyed more natural advantages, and it is a pleasure for Nash county people to -dwell upon these thoQghts. There has been steady growth and no back ward step has been . taken during these years, Especially is th's true as to matters educational, fc r there has been a awakening of the people as to the Importance of edu cating the children who, some day, will control the destinies of the peo ple and this commonwealth.

How changed the conditions existing there today 13 compared to some years ago, when a small hut of a school house, stood among the trees near the old church and where only a small number of boys and girls from the surrounding commu pity could be seen trying to acquire an euucauon unuer anyming oui inspiring and, favorable conditions. At that time it was a most difficult matter to keep the school going and in order to do this there was consid erable sacrifice upon. , the part of some of the citizens of the comma nity, who realized the importance of educational 'facilities and who had faith In the Red Oak section. Among these men were Messrs. J. T. Jones, W. H. Jones, A. H. Whitley J. D Griffin, the late John;C. Beal and other good mien who struggled with the burdens and adverse conditions until today the fruits of their loyal ty and self-sacrifice is being reaped bv brfcrht bova and irirla from all sections of' the county and State, and ihe influence of these men is be ing felt to a marked degree by that entire community. V -jx'l - v ; The conditions have changed ma terially, within recent years. ..The "old school bouse" has disappeared ana in its stead, now stands a hand some modem structure of sufficient capacity to accomodate all the young pe0ple of that community and many others, from various parts of the State who take . advantage of the splendid facilities afforded.' , The beautiful grounds are now adorned, With five buildings; the school build ing,; library building, a five-room cottage dormitory and a handsome ten-room dormitory, there also be ing a commodius barn 'and stables for horses. These aref surrounded by a beautiful grove of native oak and there is ample room for recrea tion and games. ,f ';; 7 77 vr Red Oak High School was the sec ond high school created "in Nash county after the General Assembly passed the law providing for public high schools in North Carolina. This school was established and opened for students in 1907; in "securing its e:talh h-ncnt many of the proress- ive citizens of that section secured the necessary funds by liberally sub scribing of their private funds. Since that time there ' has been a special tax in the district which as sures the permanency of the Institu tion. '.' '.' V 7 The Bchool is situated-just six miles from Nashville, ten miles from T 1 V . Kocicy mount ana about the same distance from Battleboro, in one of the most fertile ; sections of Nash county, and surrounded by many progressive and successful - agri culturists, great lovers 'of home, and possessing an abiding faith in their section, county and State. It is an ideal community. Red Oak High School will begin ttie Fall session on Monday, Sept. 4, under the supervision of Prof. P. H. Nance, who has gained for himself an enviable reputation during the past ttoo years as head of the insti tution. Mr. Nance is even better qualified for the responsible duties this season than last, owing to the fact that during the past summer he attended the Summer School at Chapel Hill and at the Agriculturl and Mechanical College, where he received special courses in agricul ture and other essentials. During the coming session agricultural training will be emphasized to a marked degree. Another important ' 7 r m . . New Ten branch of study to be inaugurated during the- coming session will be Domestic Science. This ' work will be Tunder 7, the 'direction of Mrs. Nance ' The. intermediate depart ment will be under the direction of Miss Edith- Shoulers, of Merideth Collegs, Raleigh For the past three years Miss Shoulars has been teach ing in the school at Whitakers. Miss Mary McEntyre, of Troyi N. C, will have charge of the primary depart ment; Miss Mclntyre is an A, B. gradute of the Southern Presbyteri an College and Conservatory of Mus ic; "For two years she taught in the graded .school at Randleman and for the past two years has presided over the school at Holly Springs, in Wake county. , During the summer she received special courses in pri mary work at Chapel Hill. . U- Ihe music department will be un der the direction of Miss Nannie Lee Mclntyre, who has had ample experience and comes to the people of Red Oak -with highest endoase ments aVlo 'proficiency,;. Miss.Mc- Intyre will also instruct theentire school in art and crafts. -This will be another feature of the school this season;. yv-'z ,' The past history and succes of Red Oak High School and the great work the institution haa accomplished is' a guarantee of what may be expected during the coming session, which promises to be one of the most Suc cessful in the history of that entire section. - The Law As To Win Raleigh, N.C. Some question has arisen among the farmers as to the extent that the near-beer bill passed by the last legislature in an effort to stop some of the leaks in the state wide prohibition Jaw goes on the question of home made wine and ci der. The section that applies to this reads: 1 - ' . "ProviJ i farther, that this act shall not apply p the sale of domes tic wines when sold in quantities of two and one-half gallons in sealed packages or crated, on the premises where manufactured, or to the sale of cider in any quantity by the man ufacturer from fruits grown on his lands within the State of North Carolina, or to any sale of win to any minister of religion or other officer of a church when said wine is bought for religious or sacramental purposes, "etc., 7 . The only other question that mlgh't arise is whether the. Buncombe coun ty search and seizure law would make a man 7 who possesses more than three gallons of said wines guil ty of retailing; Good Showing by Savings Banks The report of the North Carolina Corporation Commission given out on the 7th of July concering the con dition of state, private and saving banks in North' Carolina gives us statistics showing that all the money is not leaving North Caroljna.even if we have a prohibition law. This re port covers all the banks in the state except the National banks. From a study of this report, we learn that on June 30,1910,the people had on deposit at that time $39,316, 099.67.and on June 7, 1911.144.815,4 29.90,showing an increase of $5, 499, 330.23. Thus we see that when the liquor traffic is driven out .the Sav ings Banks deposits grow very ma terially. Another proof that if the working man does not , spend his money for liquor, he will lay it aside and use it for a better purpose. ' Room Dormitory, Red Oak High School. Cotton Prospects and Cotton Prices. There is going to be a big cotten crop this year unless something wholly unforeseen happens. No doubt about it. t There is little doubt, either, that the crop will not be as big as the Government figures have been indicating. In the last week or so there has been a marked decline in the prospects in various sections.; There is no need to get excited and conclude that "the bot tom is going to drop out of prices, Prices will undoubtedly be . lower than for last year's crop," but if the farmers use plain business judgment irt ' marketing, there need be no wholesale slump. Of course, there is a lot of cotton that will be forced on the market as soon as it is ginned; but if the growers who do not have to se'1 will only sit steady and refuse to sell on availing market, prices can be, held at a remunerative figure. November- and - December figures are now bringing a little' over, 11 cents. Now, 11 cents is low endugh even if the , crop; proves to "be as large as is expected it should certain ly be the minimum, . We do pot be lieve that 12 cents would be an un reasonable ' priee to stand for; but whatever the price, cotton growers should agree upon some price and de mand it. If they do, they can at least get a reasonable price; it they do not.the hiarket is likely to go to pieces and the large cotton crop will actually bring . less, than wpuld . a small one.

You can spend it at home, gain an easy confidence, make an lather friend and perhaps get the dol larback tomorrow, or you send it away, feel that you have sinned, of fend the home merchant and forev er lose the dollar and the blessed in fluence for good to yourself and r.7 h!.cr. - . V ' BRIEF DIGEST OF NATIONAL MATTERS. Because of a quarrel between two angry Doys in a ureensooro pool room and a junous fight held on Sycamore street near the Elks' home Frank Hudson, a young white boy 15 years of age, is today lying at St, Leo's Hospital critically ill, with slight chance for recovery from long and deep gash in the abdomen and Will Busick, his antagonist and assailant with the knife, occupies cell in the city jail without the nrivi lege of giving bond for his release on account of his victim's serious condi tion. The scrap, occurred last night shortly after 10 o'clock and .' Young Hudson, bleeding profusely .was car ried hastily to the hospital' by . Dr, Jarboe in an automobile and the po lice had entered promptly on the search for B"usick, capturing him at the depot just as he was preparing to take No.12 for a hasty departure J from the city. Domestic Science In Schools The principal of the State Normal School of New Jersey will not per mit a domestic science course in that institution, claiming that domestic science could be better taught in the homes than in the schools. He in sists that the mothers should do such teaching, and that girls who are old enough to go to a normal school should know how to cook, and be 'already possessed of such knowledge as a domestic science course is sup posed to teach. He said it is a mat ter of regret that mothers take so little interest in teaching their daughters to do home work, To know how to cook and, do, house work is certainly as much a part of a girl's education as embroidery and other ornamental fancy work. ? A girl should know ( how to use the needle in the .'way of; keeping the wardrobe in repair, and this can hardly be thoroughly learned at school. Like cooking with the ordi nary family supply of kitchen uten sils.such things can only be learned by experience!. , But it is a' sad fact that most mothers are not,: them selves, .well versed in such things, and the, girls would not have to know much in order to know more than the average mother. Where a course of teaching is given in the schools.the girls are taught : to look upon the work of the household from a scientific standpoint, and , this will develop an interest in the work that would not otherwise be awakened. It would be much better if the little girls were 'started in the lessons while yet too young to think they must spend all their spare time in running about Beeking , recreation and "being amused."

Postmaster-General Hitchcock . to-day sent to congress a recommendation, accompanied by a bill embodying' his suggestions, that the methods of computing the pay of railroads for carrying mails be re-adjusted. He es timates that the Nation can save $9, 0OQ.0OO annually by adopting his plan Mr. . Hitchcock proposes to effect this saving by paying the rail roads on the basis of cost, with 6 per cent, profit. The method of fixinar railway ', mail pay in accordance with weight has proved expensive and unsatisfactory, and it is pro posed to abandon it entirely, says Mr. Hitchcock. WilliamBton, Aug. 16. Chief of Police W.R. White was waylaid and shot last night at 9 o'clock while on his way home. The shooting oc curred as the chief was , walking home along on Main street, and just before he passed the residence - of Collector' Wheeler Martin, which is about half way between the officer's residence and the city hall. A load of buckshot was discharged, f r6m a single-barrel shotgun,' into the7of. f icer's back.the shot entering by the left kidney and coming out through the abdomen. Friends heard the explosion "of the gan and the cries of Chief White and rushed to his as sistance. He was carried to his home and attended by four physi cians who used every means known to medicaP science to save the life which was fast ebbing away, but the internal hemorrhage was so severe that the chief sank very rapidly and breathed his last at 10:30 p.m. , The only cause attributed for this dastardly act on the part of Bagley is that he has for some time been en gaged in the liquor traffic and C ' f White recently caught him in the c t of selling . a pint of whLkey.
