Lineberry, of the Mere dith Holleee Elected Kresiaent of Chcwan Collage, ASSUMED DU TIES AUG. Sl$f The presidency of Chowan . College. Murfreesboro. North Carolina, jbas just been accepted by Professor j G. E. Lineberry, of this cityT Treasdrer of Meredith College, and Educational Secretary of the BaptUt State Con tention. He wiU enter upan his new duties August 1. 1 ' h ; The Trustees of this honored insti tution will be generally "felicitated UDOn the very admirable- selection they have made. Immediately vfter the recent resignation of the former pres ident, Dr. James D. Brunei, tieir minds turned to Professor Lineborry as the best man to take up and csirry on the work. Reluctant, however, to ijiv hi prpsent post in which he REV. G E LINEBERRY. has been largely blessed and sigijally successful, he at first declined, being uncertain as to whether the call 1 of but the brethren was the call of God; when last week the trustee unanimity and ethusiasm again with de he clared him the man of thei choice felt that he must go to Murfreesporo under the manifest moving thither of the pillar of cloud and of fire. his new field he goes, therefore, under distinct providential impulse and great mi ior ins confidence snown in nim by the Chowan brotherhood. For more than a half century excellent institution for the girls done a great and good work in all region of the two great Chowan sociations; in fact its alumnae this has the As- are scattered into many parts - of North Carolina and Virginia, and somd of for the of then indeed are efficient workers Christ in other lands. It is in . - -: ' . . . center of a royal commonwealth Baptist people who have always ral lied to its support andtaken just pride n its prosperity. Not only hak it filled an honorable place in the life of our denomination and of the , State in the past, but greater still is the ' work it is set to do in the years alead. And that it may move steadly anc up "ward in its careerx it should, and doubtless will, receive anew , rom its friends near and far every toke: of interest, good will and love. ! The new president is a .native of Chatham county, this State, where he -was born January 12, 1870 ml fa ther was a deacon for fifty years and his grandfather Elder . William Line berry, was one of the pioneer preachlers the old Sandy Creek' Association. At Sanford. under the tuition of his brother Rev. R. B. Lineberry Years a successful teacher, and (for now the beloved pastor of ColeraineJ he completed his high school sourse. After a year at Wake Forest during "which he won the medal offered in the oocipey ior improvement in ora tory and debate, he taught two years at Demascus near Chapel Hill, about fifty per cent of his , students there later going to college. Returnin j to Wake Forest he graduated with the X. A. Degree iu 1896. Af ter.r gradu ating he located at Ashpble, near Fair mont in Robeson , county, where . he taught three years as principal of Ash Pole Institute, which It wilt , be re membered, was founcled by the laU Elder Stimon Ivey and was Uio chobl , - - - ' - v h 1-2 1900 he took charge of th'e Winter- ville High School as its first principal, a pnsi tion he ' held wi th mark ed accep t abiliyv; andlsefulness for K nine ars.In;jFebru he was . chosen Educational i Fewe tary ; of the - Baptist ; State Con ventioried and' the following May? en-, tered ' actively uponr; the i."' work yrhich has since occupied his time and atten tion with such fine results in the up building .of our educational7 work.' Since May l8,f'1913'J Treasurer of ' Meredith College, render ing very fine service as the successer of John T. Pullen" in- this capacity. He is a trustee- of Wake Forest Coir lege and also did finet- orkonj the en dowment of tha't Institution alter dis ease and death removed the r eloquent and indefatigable Carlyle, from the field of active service.- And perhaps his b3st work , has been in behalf of the secondary schools helping in their location, debt-raising mainte nance, and patronage; securing ; com petent o'ficers and teachers; inspiring the students ty go on to our colleges; correlating these schools with each other and with higher institutions; and! keeping a vigalent eye and a steady hand on the thousand and one details which arise in connection with the du ties of his office many a time bringing order of chaos and harmony 4 outof discord. His work , has been without blare of trumpets, but has been all the more effective and enduring, as we believe the years will witness. The work of Professor; Lineberry has been recognized and sought out side the denominational field. For -fmore than six years he has been a Director of our State School for the Blind, his first ' appointment Jbaving been received from . Governor Glenn. In r that Board of Directors he has been . chairman of the. Educational Committee since his second: year both of which positions he holds today. I Moreover, in bis relation to non-Bap- tist educational institutions he has wrought with; such wisdom; combining loyaltyto iiis denomination with due consideration for others, that he has won alike. the love of His Co- work era and the respect of the general public. Professor Lineberry is happy in his home life. He was married in 1899 to Miss JtuthlEstelf Fisher, of? Tolars ville, Robeson county, who has proven a devoted helpmeet for him during their fifteen years. They have five children four daughters and one son; the youngest daughter was born last week. Again -we congratulate the Chowan College 'management and constituency upon securing the new president and we felicitate him upon the . magnitude of work and opportunity before him. Without reserve we commend him to the saints of the two Chowan Associ ations, and them to him; for we be lieve that in the fitness of things and in the fullness of time they -are brought together for the advancement of Christian education and for vthe glory of God. ---Biblical Recorder.

MpEditor; I have read with mutn interest what ; has Tbeen said through your paper in be half; - of the farmers interest, stating howhe can benefit him self by being a member of the Farmers' Union. It should ap peal to every farmer . to be, a member of the Farmers Union; for its their last chance to secure equity and establish justice. The powerful corporations and the great financiers have been holding the key that unlocks the door of prosperity, but without help they cannot hold it much longer, and when it fails some body is going to cry for money: The Farmers' Union has many things laid up in store for the mart; that follows the plow and swings the 10-pound grub-hoe. To a great extent farming is and has been almost a failure, and I all other industries have been a success. This shows 4 that tKe Golden Rule has jnot been ap plied to the . farming : class. There are a great many things that the Farmers' Union Js after that would be to the interest of the poor farmer if he will fall in ranks and help fight one of the most wonderful battles that was ever fought on the soil of the United States of America by or ganization. , ' , Most every law that is on the statute books today is against the farmes, . except ' some the Union has caused & to be placed thereon, ;such as; the parcel post. the torrena "system of landtitle, ; We wish to have more Jaborr ers in the field in the future fit than in the past, to lead the farmers from darkness to light and help get that stubbornness hout of " his heart." Let us. be loyal to the Union, -for" some thing must be done; ; for the 'far mer. Now, Brother ' Farmer, let- me urge you to join the Union, it is your only friend now existing, in our land and country and why not come out join hands with; your brother farmer. Everybody else is or ganized. The doctors, they don't want you; the bankers, they don't want you; the .railrpadsr they doh, t want you;,; who are going with? .

No farmer : liveth to himself, men must see beyond their line fence and'have an interest wider than their own families arid their ownjive stock. A stream never rises higher than its source, neith er is a farm' or a conimunity? bet ter than the men who are respon sible for them. : We want better farms and better t farming, f but above ? all we want better 'citi zens, men :wh6" have the vision to see not only the ; problems of theiri own farms, Jbut ofpthe community in which;;they live.
