Washington, Special. Legislation "which, it is believed if enacted into law, will make an important epoch in theAfntarV1 well-being1 of the Me-" pendent children of the nation, is rec ommended in .a 'special message by President Roosevelt sent to Congress .Monday in which he makes a strong plea in the interest of children com ing within this class. Of particular importance is the President's recommendation for the stabltaliment of a Federal children's Irareau; the enactment of such legis lation as will bring the laws and prac tices in regard to the care of depen dent children in all Federal territory into harmony and certain legislation in behalf of dependent children in the District Tf Columbia. The President believes that such legislation is im portant not only for the welfare of the children immediately concerned, hut important "as setting an example of a high standard of child protection by the national government to the -several States of the Union, which should be able to look to the nation for leadership in such matters." The President also transmits with Iris message to Congress a copy of the conclusions, together with the full text of the proceedings of the recent conferences here on the care of de pendent children,' in accordance' with, the request of that organisation. De claring that their conclusions "con stitute a wise, constructive and pro gressive programme of child-carinsr work," the President says that if 'given full effect by the proper agen cies, existing methods and practices in almost every community wouldle , "prtffOunaTy1 and advantageously modi fled." The conclusions of the conference shove referred to are the following: 1. Home Care Children of worthy parents or deserving mothers should, as a rure, be kept with their parents at home. 2. Preventive Work. The effort should be made to eradicate causes of dependency, such as disease and accident, and to substitute conpen sation and insurance for relief. 3. Home Finding. Homeless and neglected children, if normal, should "be cared for in families, when prac ticable. . Cottage System. Institutions should be on the cottage plan with small units, as far as possible. 5. Incorporation. Agencies caring for dependent children should be in corporated, on approval of a suitable State board. 8. State Inspection. The State should inspect the work of all agen cies which care for-dependent chil dren. 7. Inspection of Educational .Work. Educational work of institu tions and agencies earing for depen dent children should be supervised by State educational, authorities. R. Facts nd Records Complete histories of dependent children and, ' their parents, based upon personal in vestigation and supervision, '''should be recorded for guidance of child caring agencie. . 9. Physical Care.-Every , needy fbild should receive the - best medical and surgical attention, and be instructed in health and hygene. ; 10. Co-Operation. Local , child earing agencies should co-operate and .establish joint bureaus , of info rma 'tion.V Jv u 11. ' Undesirable Legislation. Pro hibitive legislation against transfer of dependent children between . States should be repealed. .; 12. Permanent Organisation. A "permanent ' organization : ! for work long the Ines of these resolutions is : desirable..-.-. ' ' "-'--:,- ' 13. Feljwat Children's r Bureau.

Canal Manage ment Deserves Support , - Birmingham,, Special Talking through Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama, just like campaign days, the President-elect had on Saturday the gratification, which he evidently enjoyed, of being heartily received by large and enthusiastic crowds who had not voted for him. . He talked from the rear platform at Hattiesburg, Miss., in a vein of pleasantry and then touching on the Canal subject he said: "The Panama canal is going to be built," he declared," and what I want every American citizen to do, is to stand by the men who are building it (VotoisV " We will' do it.") Don't set a fire in the rear, don distrust the men that are giving up their strength and energy and enterprise to put that great work through. When you have agents who are doing your work, you stand behind them. If you don't, you cannot get your work done. The men who do your work are entitled to your help and enfidence and yon ought not to allow yourselves to be led astray by buncombe speeches on the floor of the House of Repres entatives, or by headlines in sensa tional newspapers, and go back on the men that are doing your work. "I don't care whether you are Democrats or Republicans, you want the work done and when the arm; engineers who are doing this work are giving all their time to the carrying out of this work, yon are not men to go back on "them and to believe every idle story that comes from the mouth of some politician who is seeking to make himself prominent or to give himself the advertisement of a little unfounded sensational statement. "That work is being done honest-, ly. I know what I am talking afidut.' It will be built and all the wind op poition that comes merely from a de side to exalt and exploit the man who makes himself responsible won't ob struct it "I know what the people of the United States want in that regard and in -so" far as' I have power, 'as the Executive of this country, I am going to push that work and I am going to stand behind the men who are do ing it. And now, gentlemen, you have gotten me into more heat than I expected, but I think you very much much for your welcome.' Policeman Fatally Shot Salisbury. Special. Policeman W. A. Monroe and Policeman SiceloftT were called to North Church street, a negro settlement, on account of John A. Jackson, a negro, beating-his wife Saturday night. As they attempted to. arrest him and while trying to es cape Jackson shot Policeman Monroe and made good his escape.

N'OaTH STATE HAPPENINGS Ooeurrence s lotttt GUa& From All Sections ef the Buqr . Ttwr DW1 Sutt STUD EOT LOAN FUND. A Practical Method Adopted by tbe Management of the A. It H. Col lege a lUleigh for the Assistance of Deserrlng Teung Men in Ob taining an Education. By means of a unique plan adopted by the management of the Agricul tural and Mechanical College at Raleigh, a small fund of about $2,000 dollars haa in the past seven years been tbe means of helping nearly a hundred boys and -young men of this State to obtain a practical education in this institution. For the information of students desiring to avail themselves of such aid and persons in position to assist them in this way, we quote the fol lowing extracts from an appeal re cently issued by a committee of the college alumni association for an in crease in this fund: "Among those who anxiously desire to receive training at the Agricul tural and Mechanical College are large numbers of bright, ambitious and capable boys who are not able to pay their way in full through college, but who can save enough from their work to pay part of their expenses. These boys are therefore cut off from preparation for life by the lack of a few dollars. A limited number of boys do pay nearly all of their ex penses by work at the College, but the amount of remunerative work at any institution is too small to help a tithe of those who sadly need to fit themselves for proper farming. President Hill reports that he re ceives scores and scores of pitiful letters for help from farm lads whose hearts are set on receiving an agri cultural education, but who cannot meet all of their expenses. These boys lack only opportunity to become large contributors to the wealth and hapr piness of our State. "To help such boys, the College started a few years ago a Loan Fund which now amounts to f2,000. Small as this sum is, it has already helped eighty-eight boys through College. These boys could never have received an education, but for this fund, which has been lent on an average of $43 per student. "The Loan Fund is managed in this way: Loans are made only to poor boys of character. Each loan is se cured by a properly endorsed note, and bears 6 per cent, interest. As soon as a note is paid, the original amount with the interest is returned to the fund and at once goes to aid some other worthy student. It is most gratifying to say that these notes are promptly paid, and that so far not one cent of this money has been lost. "Now as graduates of the College, with a full knowledge of how valu able its training was to us, we appeal to the farmers of our State to con tribute to this Loan Fund such sums as they are able. The State can give no money for this purpose. Each dollar will aid somebody's boy to get the special education for which he is longing. Each dollar will grow year by year from the interest and soon be helping several boys instead of one. We feel sure that when out farmers and business men know how much good this small fund is doing, and when they realize how much more pood a larger fund could do, they will gladly and generously add their contributions whether these ' contri butions be large or small. A. E. Escott, Walter Clark, Jr., and R. H. Merritt, all of Raleigh, N. C, constitute the committee of Alumni to whom remittances can be made. Boy Kills His Brother. Hickory, Special Saturday after noon the twelve year old 3on of J. M. Allred, of Granite Falls, evident ly shot and killed his brother, a boy of about eight years. The older boy had carried the gun into the yard to shoot at some sparrows and had it cocked when he attempted to lower the hammer of the gun.- In some way the gun was discharged and the entire load passed through the neck of the younger boy, who was standing only a few feet sway, al most severing hie head from his body. Gastonia's Big Poultry Show. Gastonia, Special Arrangements have already begun for the next ex hibition of the Gastonia Poultry As sociation. At a recent meeting now officers were elected, dates claimed and a judge appointed. Mr. J. W. Nolen was elected president and Mr. S.' S. Morris secretary. . The dates are December , 7th-10th. t . SOUTH DAKOTA INQUIRES. Paving the Way to Saturn the Koatjr For Repudiated Bonds. State Treasurer Lacy has reeeivedl a letter of much interest from Dats Robertson, superintendent of the Ies klative reference division of South) Dakota. The letter is as follows: "I am requested to inquire of yott the present market value of the Stat bonds given in aid of the western North Carolina Railway, ten of which were presented to South Dakota. There is, as you are perhaps a wan, a movement in onr Legislature to re turn to your State the money received! from these bonds, and in the di 'cussion growing out of it the mesa bers desire to know tbe present valu of the paper." "This State paid South Dakota,, for the ten bonds, $27,400, which i $2,704' each, including not only th face value and coupons, but com pound interest. It compromised with Mr. Schaefer, of New York, foe $215,000 for bonds he held, these be ing valued at $892 each with no in terest It is stated that of the $27 400 which went to South Dakota, the lawyers in he case for that State, Daniel L. Russell anl Marion Butler, probably got half. Henry Ewing Insane. Salisbury, Special. The eaej against Henry Young, alias Henry Ewing, who attempted to criminally assault Mrs. James R. Moss, at Moss Siding, in Stanley county, on Decem ber 15th, was taken up in Rowan Superior Court, where the ease was moved, Wednesday morning, and Ute result was, after examining several witnesses and Dr. I. H.
