University scholarships have been given and loans made and students canvassed for.without in quiring as to whether they were Baptists, Methodists, -Presbyterians, Episcopalians, Friends, He brews, Moravians, church mem bers or non-church members. The University has been freely offered to all. The Baptists are as .welcome here as anybody else. They cannot afford to turn their backs on the Univerisy and they are not doing it. Should they do so, they would deprive -their boys pf splendid opportunities no wfreely offered them. Let Wake Forest educate all tho hoys it can. Let the Uni versity educate all the boys it can.

" m xt T x t , - lo the Joint Board of County Commissioners and Justices- Gentlemen By request of one of your body, I paid a visit of in spection to the County Farm and Home for the Aged and Infirm a few day 8 ago. Jbor the benefit of the rit.ino Df Bertie countv who h t visited the Couuty Farm at Aus tin, and seen the management and location of the farm. nY quenty I wih to say a few words 1.1. 1 al T turougn the .Ledger in regard to the Coun'y goveVn men t oi Bertie county and esneemllv t!m management and construction of xl f1 J T- nie county i?arm toy its manager, Mr. . Jas. Alston, "i think 'the county officials acted wisely in selecting Mr. Alston as the man ager to supervise over th far the paupers and the prisoners in fact he is the right man in the right place. I think the Lord put it in the minds of his peo ple who to select as a good man to look after the poor, as He- said on one occasion, "The poor- you have always with you' and we find it is true. I will state; first in regard to the Counts ment, thatI think it is in a bet- ter nnnrUt.inn tKon i. t -i uuu 1 w lias oeon since the war. . I admit that I am not a very deep thinker, but have f he experience of nearly 30 years of manhood, and have watched the movement f county affairs and the changes of fcue ywunty omciais. There was a time some years ago when Bertie county was insolvent and could not Dav tho i other expenses that were neces- u,ry. now ioojc, she is not ouly able to naw, her inmra Kr, is able to buy county property of i a T rand countv "NW. :i bts.ft 'wue, ana in tant Krt;a there has heen much complaint raised about the -- what brought this great wittugu aooui notUmg but the wise legislation nf officials.

It is almost a para dise for the poor from what they forraeraly had, and insteud of hav- ing.a nara master they now have a' warm hearted Christian gen tleman to provide for them They get goxl vholcsome food and comfortable houses to stay in I will give you somo hinU of what this Farm is saving the County in cah. Formerly tho popr was feed and clothed with County funds at enormous pricos. but now they are feed nnd cloth ed very nearly,-from the product of the saiL farm (nbncY h-uti! in feeding prisoners. Instead of Keeping tuem in .Windsor jail and paying 10. per month board and turn-key expense ic. they now can i e I and clotl.c themselves and feci the poor bv working on this ftrm. Thov i ' seem to be well satisfied with mwr inre. wnno tuev are at work tho.v nro Wftii . Mr. Alston and liis son who costj8eem8 to be very attentive to. his Inn. 1 nneinnoi.

Mr. Alston keeps a ledger nnd on which every day the prisoner works is entered, ahd tho duti- he euteis the Farm, and the date on winch he is to be discharged; You can look on the ledger and see what has been done and: what they are doing, -Vith nil this only two have escaped, ami they broke jail.. x They raise corn, ijotatocs and vegetables.
