•NRGL.ECT OK CHILDREN
Superintendent Sheep Says Parents
Leave Too Much to Taubers.
Elizabeth City. Nov. 20.—The
present day tendency in too many
Elisabeth Olty homos to loavo the up
' bringing of the children, ns com
pletely as possible, to their school
teachers, is deplored by Supt. s. L-
Sheep, the city school system. Mr.
Sheep declares rt ir* throwing an un
warranted burden, on the teachers,
i ai "b which in more important, it is
resu.ting disastrously to the children
themselves.
Pareuts nowadays are permitting
too many outside interests to dis
tract the mind of the child from his
studies. Mr. Sb,eep says, and nre not
*° >t in many cases that the
child does the proper amount of
studying at home. This is bad for
’"y vfr.soiiK, he argues, the first
, I being inadequate preparation of,
!school work, and the second being
that when the child, outside of
1 school hours, gives no thought to
■hishis school work, it becomes all
the more difficult for him to concen
trate upon it when he is in school.
If the parents of the city wish
their children to receive the training
they should, as a result of the years
they spend in school, it is absolute
ly essential that they co-operate more
effectively with the teachers, this
veteran educator continues, explain
ing that the child himself is the
loser—and heavily so, in many in
stances—when he is neglected or
permitted to do as lie pleases after
school hours.
Lexington Shocked By Twin City
Story.
Lexington Dispatch.
Lexington friends of Miss Virginia
.Tonkins, who for the past four years
has made her home here much of the
time while serving as superintendent
of elementary Sunday school training
for the Western North Carolina
Methodist conference, were greatly
shocked this morning when they read
in the daily press a story from
Winston-Salem in which sdo and
another Sunday school worker are
involved. During her residence here
Miss Jenkins has made many friends
and has been held in the highest es
teem since coming to this city. The
story has added interest because
Lexington has for a number of years
been at the home office of the Con
ference Sunday school training or
ganization. which has worked so ef
fectively throughout the western half
of the. State.
Miss Jenkins and M. W. Brabham,
of Knoxville. Tenn.. also a Sunday
school training worker, were placed
under arrest in a room at a Win
ston-Salem hotel at two o'clock yes
terday morning according to the
Winston-Salem Journal of this morn
ing. They furnished bonds of SIOO for
appearance in police court today to
answer a charge of violating the
hotel law. Mr. Brabham issued a
statement it >vas stated, in which lie
fervently disavowed any wrongful
act or intent, declaring that he had
gone to Miss Jenkins' room when she
became ill to render aid. Other
workers had rooms nearby, it was
stated. Miss Jenkins is from Salis
bury, where she taught for a number
of years in the city schools.
The Winston-Salem paper stated
that both flic accused persons had
checked out at the hotel yesterday
and did not appear on the program
at the Sunday school training class.
Hotel employes are said to have
called the officers.

I DUKE MANSION IS
Pl'T ON MARKET
Prominent Cotton Mill Men Reported
to Re Planning to Buy It.
Charlotte. Deo. I.—The Duke Man
sion and estate in Myers Park, one of
the residential show places of the
Sou tli. has been placet) on the market
for sale. Connected with the bcws
that the mansion and environs are
for sale, was the report that Colonel
Taßcv Springs, of Lancaster, S. C.,
and Martin L. Cannon, and J. H.
Pu tter. of Charlotte, are prospective!
purchasers. One report was that
Colonel Springs already has agreed to
buy the property.
The Duke estate embraces seventeen
acres of land in Myers Park, the resi
dence and otflier buildings oi* the
premises nre estimated to be worth
half a million dollars or more.
The site originally was the home
of the late Z. V. Taylor, former presi
dent ot the Southern Pyblio Utilities
Company, who had erected there a
handsome residence. When Mr. Duke
bought the site from Mr. Taylor, he
preserved only a part of the structure
of the Taylor home and constructed
on the site the present mansion.
Colonel Springs, one of the multi
millionaire textile inngnates of the
South, is known to have been consid
ering for several years the purchase
or construction of a residence in
Myers Bark. The Duke Mansion has
been noted as a showplace about Char
lotte. not only for the elegance of the
residence, but for the beauty of the
grounds which constitute one of the
beauty spots of tills state. One of
the features of the Duke estate is
the fountain which shoots a stream
of water ninety feet lit the air.
Judge Got an Earful.
The Pathfinder.
Mrs. John Cookson and Mr*. Albert
Fatzinger. Philadelphia women, got
into a scrap. It was no half-hearted,
Wishy-washy scrap either. When they
were dragged apart an inventory show
ed that Mrs. Cookson had just one ear
less than before the fight. It seems
that she had made some uncompliment
ary remarks about Mrs. Fatzinger
who, unfortunately, was deaf.
After surgeons at the hospital had
bandaged up the place where her ear
had mice been Mrs. Cookson went to
the police station aud had Mrs. Fat
s'nger halts! into court. When placed
on the stand the deaf woman denied
that she had bitten off the plaintiff's
yar. Whereupon the judge demanded
that he be shown the bitten ear.
”I)i> yoif mean I'll have to take off
these bandages?" asked Mrs. Cookson.
"It would hurt too much and might
interfere with the heaiing of the
wound.”
"My orders must be obeyed,” sol
emnly asserted the magistrate, and
court attendants made their way to
MrR. t'ookson's side to help her undo
the bandages. Before they got to her.
however, she reached down and took
from a satchel a glass jar.
“Well, if it is my ear you want to
see,” ,the plaintiff addressed the judge;
"here it is—this is it in alcohol. The
doctors at the hospital anticipated such
n request and preserved the evidence
for me.”
The magistrate could not repress a
a -mile as he admitted the plaintiff
had furnished sufficient proof that
the ear was not when l it belonged. He
then ordered tliat the deaf prisoner be
held and given her hearing in the
molding.
, Another Oyster Story.
The,, Pathfinder.
This is a short story but a very
sweet one. Acting Capt. William H.
Brennan, custodian of the police head
quarters building. New York, was at
dinner. As he bit into an oyster some
thing hard came between h's teeth.
“Dear me," he ejaculated in patient
tone*. •
After Brennan had bad the pearl
(yes that's what it was) appraised ha
said It was worth SI,OOO.
Some years ago there was a suit to
determine whether a patron of a res
taurant is to keep a pearl he
thus, finds. The restaurant man ar
gued that he had only sold the cus
tomer oysters, and not any pearls or
shells; hence the pearl was his. The
patron contended that as lie paid for
tlie oysters he was entitled to have
everything that went with them. The
court took his view.
Nevertheless if you ever bitg your
teeth on an oyster ; u a restaurant and
find it pearl in it, we advise you to
say nothing but quietly slip the pearl
in your poeket or something and de
part.

FARMERS t’SING BETTER
BrSINRftS METIIOI <S
They Are Beiu* Informed on Subjects
or Portirular Interest to Them.
Raleigh. Dee. 2.— Of) —Farmers
generally over the United States are
using better business methods in
handling and marketing their prod
ucts, the bureau of agricultural econ
omics has pointed out to the United
States secretary of agriculture, says
a department of agriculture bulletin
received here today.
"This is shown,” says the report,
“in the manner in which fanners ’have
rebulit their business from the de
pressions of five years ago. It is
shown also b.v the steadily increas
ing call for information on standardi
sation and inspection of farm prod
ucts, farm management, credit facili
ties, and both domestic and foreign
market news.”
The bureau is organized to obtain
by research and investigation, the de
partment bulletin points out, facts on
practically all phases of the econo
mics of agriculture, from problems in
farm management to the final distri
bution of agricultural pdalulcts |o
the consumer. It is essentially a
service bureau to give farmers the
best available information on tiiese
subjects.
Federal standards are now in use
for 32 leading fruits and vegetables,
eight grains, seven varieties of hay,
cotton, woool, tobacco, butter and
eggs, and for a number of classes of
livestock and dressed meats. The
American cotton standard is now used
throughout the world, it is pointed
out, and the bureau is endeavoring
to effect similar uniform standards
for wool.
Market news reports on shipments,
supplies, annd prices of farm products
in the leading market centers are used
by farmers everywhere, a nationwide
service on collecting and disseminat
ing this news by telegraph and radio
having been organized. The bureau
perates the largest government leased
wire circuit in the world in connec
tion with this service, says the bul
letin.
Facts provided farmers on the out
look for specific farm crops, it is con
sidered by the bureau, have done much
to enable the farmers to plan their
operations. The pig surveys by the
bureau have been used widely in an
effort to reduce the ups and downs of
the hog industry.
"Special effort is made in the mar
keting work of the bureau to deter
mine the kinds, quality and quantity
of products which are and which
should be offered for sale,” says the
bureau's report. “In the process
of distribution, questions of standar
dization, packing, assembling, trans
porting, warehousing, financing and
finally of retailing all call for special
studies and services.
“Without broad information in re
gard to general economic conditions,
the farmer is not able to meet the
changing condition in domestic and
world markets. Hence, the need of
closely co-ordinating the facts of na
tional and world production, move
ments, and prices for the purpose of
providing a basis upon which farm
ers may plan their programs of
work.”
