Plans Industrial
School On Island
Theodore Meekins Would Re
vive Proposal of Late W.
J. Peele
That there should bo established
at Roanoke Island, preferably npar
Fort Raleigh, a memorial institution
in which should he investigated and
taught the arts and sciences which'
relate to obtaining wealth from the
8^a?such as ship building, navlga-j
tion and the Ifk?>. is the contention
of Theodore S. Meekins of Manteo.
"If old man W. J. Peele of Ra
leigh had lived and kept his health."
said Mr. Meekins to a reporter for
this newspaper Saturday, "we would
hate already had such an institution.
H" worked me like a dog down here
making suggestions as to how l\
could interest the people of the isl
and. He deserved more credit than
any other one man for the bill which
passed the Legislature in 1903 pro
viding for the establishment of such
an institution and authorizing an ap
propriation from the State of $50.-1
000.
"Old Peele was strictly a patriot.
He loved his country. His country
was always first in his thoughts and
first in his affections.
"But this appropriation In 100:5
was contingent upon the raising of
by the people of the State and Na
tion of one hundred thousand dollars
additional thereto. Though several
thousand dollars were subscribed the
full amount was never raised.
"Nevertheless the Idea proposed in
this bill to establish a school on this
Hand Is as practical as it ever was
and the people of the State and the
pontile of Manteo need to be awak-'
e.ned to their opportunity of doing at
Fort Raleigh what has already been
done at Jamestown."
In an article written after the bljl
had been passed authorizing the ap
propriation the late W. J. Peele, said
that among those most efficient in
securing Its passage were Represen
tative Bruce Etheridge Dare and
Representative Rlount of Washington
County, and Representatives Mitch
ell and Sprulll of Uerilo and Tyrrell
countie.v respectively. The corpora
tors who would have rerved as trus
tees for the institution had it been
founded were Theodore S. Meekins,
II. Ci. Crisp. F. P. dates, A. CI. Sam
Vie, j. n. Jennett. John W. I'vans,
\v. H. Lucas, Joseph A. Sprulll find
C. W. Mitchell.

Everett Discovers
Interesting Wills
As Task of Transcribing An
cient Document Goes on in
His Office
Raleigh. August 20.?The task of
transcribing wills and other old doc
uments, sonic of them nearly two
centuries old, Ih a task now consum
ing much of the time of secretaries
In the olflr<' of W. N*. Exerett, Sec
rctary of State, hut a task not alto
gether devoid of interest. it being
one that frequently brings to light
something that reflects Interestingly
on the diatoms, life, thought and re
ligious temperament of the early In
habitants of the "Old North State."
Two wills made by Joseph Hell, of
Cartaret County In 172R and 1744,
which were transcribed this week at
tracted much interest 011 the part of
employes In the Secretary of State's
office in spite of the hours of tedious
work they spent In making the tran
scriptions.
Doth wills abound in misspelled
words and grammatical errors, but
rhetorically, they are forceful and
expressive. Although new typewrit
ten copies have bi?en made, the orig
inal manuscripts will be preserved In
the State's archives. They now are
almost Illegible, the Ink having faded
and the parchment having browned
with age. They were read with the
aid of a magnifying glass.
In point of phraseology and relig
ious expression, the will drawn In
174 4 Is the most interesting. It fol
lows iu part:
"In the name of Ood, Amen, this
12th day of .March 1744:6, I Joseph
Hell of Cartrlte County In North Car
olina I'lantor be very sick and weak
In Hody but In perfect mind and
memory thanks be given unto Ood. J
"Therefore Calling unto mind the
mortality -of my Hody and knowing
that It appointed for all men Once
to dye do make and ordain this my
last will and Testament that Is to sav ,
principally and first of all I give and
recommend my Soul Into the hand of
Ood that gave It and I recommend'
my Hody to the Earth to be burled
in decent Christian burial at the dis
cretion of my executors nothing
?loubtlng but at The General Ressur
4-ctlon I J?hall receive the same again
by Th. Mighty power of Ood and as
touching Such Wordly estate where
with it hath pleased Ood to blessed
me In this life I give demise and dis
pose of ?ame In following manner
and form."
In thn first will Joseph Hell be
queathed various pieces of property,
real and personal, to his wife, Mar
tha ffell, snd to four children, but
In the second will he named his wife
II the principal help and designated
Gelfand's Relish
and Mayonnaise at all
good grocers.

Amendments Make
Beer Bill a Joke
Liquor Interest t Regard Lady
Lady Astor's Bill As
Absolutely Harmless
L' U. on. ..ug;-t 20. *.n'.y Astor's
liqv r I 111 ( i anli ! I j i . liquor
'.interests as a huge joke?in fact so
jnuch .*?') that they hav< mad** no ?
i~iiou.j efforts to hinder its passage,
i Tl n nfost persist! ill opponents of
the bill when it was first introduced
j in the Commons' now regard the
.ameiifled form so harmless that some
| of th? m even went so far as to sup
j port it.
The original intention of the bill
(was to prohibit the sale of intoxicat
ing liquors to persons under 18 years
jof age, heavy" penalties being provid
ed far Infringements. The mmmit
Itee lo eharg< of the bill, however, in
serted the vital words "knowingly
under eighteen" and now the propri
etor cannot be fined or arrested un
less It Is proved that he knew the
consumer to be under aue.
Another amendment to the bill
permits persons under 18 years to be
served with beer and wines with a
meal. This has earned for the hill
the title "Beer and Biscuit Hill" since
the latter is recognized as a meal
within the understanding of the Eng
lish law. What is more, it is not
necessary for the meal to bo ordered
in the saloon, hence a boy or girl may
bring a biscuit with them and be
served with as much beer as he or
she wishes.
The only people Lady Astor's bill
seems to have pleased are the antl
prohlbltlonlsts, for they believe that
It has placed a barrier in the path of
total prohibition, as it has used up
all the energy of its supporters in
seeking to have this bill passed and
there Is not enough left to put
through the more stringent and less
evasive measures. The only prohibi
tionist In the House of Commons
spoke against the bill as being a
"weak sister," which would do more
{harm to the cause than good.
Lady Astor responded to the at
jtacks saying that she couldn't please
everyone, and some vexatious meas
ure must be put up with. She said
that it she did what she wanted t6
on a hot day she would take a Jump
Into the lake in St. Jamen Park.
To this another member cried out
"I wish you would, that has gone
dry now."
