In disasters like that at Sau Francisco, we learn wUat stuff lUe lire insurance companies arc made Dowie can come as near to ' 'cuss ing" without using cuas words as any prophet we rcaiciuoei ever 10 have run across. Two sessions ot the Illinois State Senate have been attended by one Senator, tie must have been u new member slated tor a speecii. It's a wonder some ot the proph ets who "toresaw" the euitliquakt would not explain why they re trained trom issuing a timely warn lug. From torce of habit the public naturally expects au early an nouucemeni ot the History ot tlic Sau Fraucisco lire by Murat Hal stead. Things look squally tor Joliu Al exander F.lijali Moses Jelioshapliat, but he may claim with trutu 10 have raised this particular squall himself. Maxim Gorky's real uame is Alexel Maxiuiovilch Peischolf, anil alter a second look at it, very tew people will blauie him lor trying to forget it. That smart Russian official who "caught" a bomb that was tossed at him, should have 110 trouble 111 signing with an American base ball team. Senator LaFollette might get even by leaving the room when Senator Spooner gets up to reply. It's a poor suub that won't irritate both ways. In the future any one who gets a contribution from Mr. Perkins wui have to hand over a guaranty of immunity from prosecution al nig with the receipt. In an emergency like that at Sail Fraucisco, t this administration's skill in cutting through numerous tliickuesses of red tai>c at one blow is distinctly valuable. State laws and court decisions on the divorce question are so con Dieting that the country will even tually have to revert to the old limitation ol one wife for one man We believe Senator Bailey of Tex., will find SOUK- constitutional warrant for everything that has been done by the government to relieve the suflrers in San Fran cisco. In discussiug the courts, l'resi dent Roosevelt being a blunt man does not see the necessity of taking a spin around Robin Hood's barn in his automobile, in order to inaki his meaning clear. . Who would sttspect an Indian ol being so far sighted ? Here is Old Man Geronimo who for years has been building up a reputation as a "bad Indian" just that he might eventually "star" in Wild West shows. It may have coincidence, but no sooner had the business men of San |Francisco begun to talk confidently rebuilding the sky scrapers and making them tallei than ever, than there came anothei slight earthquake shock. A bill has been introduced ii Congress to prevent congressmei from sending furniture by uiai under their frank. That bit should not pass, for a generon government should permit am congressman to lend his frank to a constituent who wanted to move instead of forcing the poor man to pay rent. The tar that Is contained in Bee's Laxative Honey and Tar is harmless. It is not coal t:.r, but is obtained from the pine trees of " our own native forests. Bee's Laxative Honey ami Tar is the best remedy for co'ds because ii acts on the bowels —thus expel ling ah colds fiuui the system. Bee's is the original Laxative Hon ey and Tar, and is best for coughs, colds, croup, whooping cough, lung and bronchial affections. S&ld by & R. Biggs. f PROP. CARLYLE'S ADDRESS. Beautiful and Instructive to the Last Decree. -- On the occasion of the dose ol our graded school, Prof. J. B. Car lyle, professor of Latin in Wake Forest College, said in part: I would have been highly pleased to have been called here to speak before vour Chamber of Commerce, but I am most highly pleased to be here to-night to speak to you under the auspices of the Williainston Graded School. However our re ligious aud political views may differ we should unite on the com mon plattorni, TUe acnool. 1 propose a platform on which all may go: "The school, first in the hearts of the people, first in the heart ot the tax-payer." What constitutes a State ? Not high battlements Jjfut an aggrega tion ot men aud womeu wrtn train ed minds. A State is the product of three characteristics: Manual Labor, Mental Vigor, and Moral Earnestness. MANUAL, I.ABOK. Forests must be felled, houses built and roads constructed. The manual libor of the F^gyptians — the Pyramids—stands as a distinct mark of her greatness after her great orators and her literature are forgotten. Skilled labor is what we need, educated to do a task ably and wisely. The most i 111- portant man on the great system of railroads is the engineer. The school is for the lalxjring man. It is to his interest. The man behind the gun at Manila is not less iiii|M>rtaut than the great hero, Dewey. I sing of the mail who stands behind the plow, the man with the hoe. These are the men that go to make up a great State. Mind is a divine spark within us. With the great forces of imagination we can soar up in the realms of boundless space, we can s|>eud an hour with Socrates 011 a strtet comer of Athens, we, can stand ou the hanks of Avon with the Bard of Stratford It is the duty of the State to develop mind. The mother in the-home and the school room must dci this great work. The teacher is a pvet —he leads the plastic mind into the realms of literature, into the mysteries of knowledge. MKNTAI, VIGOK. It is the function of the State to make mental vigor. The great Grecian Democracy did not endure because it was not founded on the solid rock of |>opular education. She had her great orators, philoso phers ami poets, but the masses of iier people were not educated and die passed out. MORA!, KAHNKSTNKrtS. We must have nobility of pur pose to guide and control the cliar icter of the people. Moral earn jstness must control our civiliza tion.. Moral earnestness and re ligious fervor were the great char icteristics that the Plymouth Rock ites had. Thank God that I was ijorn in North Carolina. A North Carolinian lielieves in the great ind eternal truths of God.. We Ife ns free as the mountain air. I'lie |>eople of North Carolina be lieve in something, therefore they lave moral earnestness. Whyis-inwie® not great? She ins great culture, noble laws and vealtli, but her constitution is not ilnyed. They l>elieve in nothing •cry strongly, hence they cannot nakf a great State. I congratulate you on your stic •ess thus far obtained in the graded •chool work. Your interest should >c piimarily in the school. Vour natfi ial splendors the corroding lootli of time will dvvour, but the training yon give to your boys and •.iris shall never fade. The man villi lhe muck-rake is out after nateiial tilings, not looking after he development of his child's soul )ppoit unities liouud us on all sides uid we must educate the child in trder that he may do all that lies } vithin his power. The teacher lias a great work on lis shoulder, but his is a great uission. I had rather lie a teach ■r—champion of light—than a >eiiu>sthenes, Cicero or Henry. I'o emancipate our boys and girls rom the shackles of ignorance is >ur supreme duty. Undaunted aud undiscouraged 'ato preached the great gospel to lie Senate and Roman oeople— artliage must He destroyed. Gentlemen of Martin countv, we uust destroy ignorance. The gos '>cl must b? preached throughout lie length and breadth of this State. Go on anil on, young lilies and gentlemen, in the white fields of knowledge; wait, watch and work. Wait for the unfolding of God's purpose, watch for the opportuni ty and work, work, work! The very universe is set on the key of work. Work is the law of life. It is not a penalty, there is pleas ure and comfort in it. Yonder in the distance is the mountain heights of Success. On that mountain is your goal. Dis courage not though many thorns be ill your pathway. Go on ! Be it Williamston'e boast that.she has the best graded school in Hasten) North Carolina. You can do it. We must move on, the educa tional sweep is universal. Let's educate all. CLOSING EXERCISES The RoberionvilltQfvded School* Prof. Carlylc'* Address. The closing exercises of the Rob ersouville school took place Thurs day ami Friday, April 26 and 27. This eveut attracted large crowds from the country and neighboring towns. On Thursday evening the spa cious opera house was crowded to its utmost capacity, to witness the junior concert. The numbers 011 the program were well-chosen and most delightfully rendered. The parents were especially delighted, and th" teachers felt amply repaid for their ,-trenuous effort. The next morning at eleven o'clock, Prof. J. B. Carlyle, of Wake Forest, delivered one of the most instructive and pleasing ad dresses ever heard in this commun ity. His subject, .'elected from florace, was; "Carpe Diem—Seize the Opportunity ot the Day." Seize the opportunity of to-day, he said, for labor, for living, and for loving. Labor is honorable and right, it is the basis of all progress. The main thing for us of the present day is to mix more brain with our labors. Thus aris es tlie need of more good schools, and teachers trained tor their work. But it is of still more importance to mix love with our thinking aud working; for 011 this depends the success ot the golden rule, —" Ihe greatest power 011 earth is love, lor God Himself is love." At 2:30 Friday afternoon, six young men of the school very nbly discussed the subject of govern ment ownership ot railroads. Mr J. Alphonso Hverett appeared lirst on the affirmative, and gave a most able discussion of the theoretical side of government ownership. His logic was clear and convincing, his style polished, his manner pleasing and graceful. He could not but make a strong impression on the minds of the judges 111 favor of his side of the question. Mr. Joseph B. Bowers the first 011 the negative discussed with much |>oWer and el oquence the reasons against gov ernment ownership His sjieecli showed much thought and wide investigation of his subject. Mes srs. Richard Martin and Jasper Andrews gave strong assistance to the negative, white Messrs. Joseph L. Robersou and Abram Robersou supported the affirmative. I'he judges Messrs. J. B. Car lyle, A, R. Dunning and J. C. Robr ersou gave the decision 111 favor of the negative. The exercises closed with the an nual concert on Friday night. The successful and pleasing rendition of the plays,'recitations, and mus ical numbers gave evidence of the efficient training received in the depaitincut* (if music and expres sion. Thus closed the most successful year in the history of our school. During the year, more than two hundred students have been en rolled; and the prost>ects are very bright for a largely increased at tendance, next year. The entire corps of six teachers feel inuch'gratified at the results of their faithful and earnest eiTo-ts. The hearty co-operation of the patrons have contributed much to the success of the school.
