Bedford, Va., Democrat. 7 ', We do, not know of any well reg ulated financial institution' which pays its employes otherwise than fixed salaries, yet in the work of State, county and municipal govern ment we-find that fees and commis sions .still attach to , the compensa tion of officials. : It is an old estab lished custom and difficult to eradi cate. Conditions and circumstances may change, but an old established custom remains long after Its days of usefulness "and , light of reason have departed. An officer's time be longs to the government which em ploys him and he should use that time in looking carefully and intelli gently to the Interests of the 'State, county or town or city .which com missions him as an official. In other words, ho should discharge - fully the duties of his office. If there be a failure to discharge duties of the of fice the officer, should be removed. It Is nothlna? hnt mnA TtnafiiMa tnr m man to know what he Is to receive for his services, and It Is likewise good business for the paymaster to know the exact amount to be paid for the services rendered. We be lieve that the best thinking men of our town are decidedly of the opln-j ion that all our town officers should be paid stated salaries and think 'the the Council should take the matter under Immediate consideration. Let the officers have their stated salaries and the town its revenues. It is un wise and bad business policy to do otherwise. Another Case of Being Dragged to Death. Lincoln County News.

It should be remembered that the organization of the United Confederate Veterans has christen ed many generals in command Ift veteran divisions who were . never commissioned during active service, and these General Wright bars from his list. He invites any corrections or correspondence which will lead to the maintenance of a correct list. of the surviving general officers of a struggle which ended forty-five years ago.

Two miles across the sound from the comparatively new town of More head is the real old and interesting town of Beaufort. The town Is the second oldest in North Carolina and now has a population of some 3, 000. It is built along the water front, with the shipping on one side and the railroad entering on the oth er. It was laid off as a town In 1724, but was then an old settlement. Here are many quaint old houses of ancient architecture and every house in town Is painted white. The side walks and streets are covered with crushed shells, and the trees are whitewashed. So when the sun shines clear the glare from the wa ter and the white town is not pleas ant to the eyes. People who like a quiet summering place, where fish ing and boating are the best, come on over to Beaufort, where I am now writing, while those who like more of the gaieties drrlng the season, stop at Morehead. Beaufort is the great place for fishing, which is good all the year. About August and September the main season opens and runs till spring. Here the Gulf Stream comes nearest to the shore, and makes an eddy, so to speak. Its warm influ ence is very perceptible on the cli mate. Fish from the Southern wa ters come up to this point, and those of the North come this far South. Here the United Stated Government has established a fisheries station and laboratory, "where specimens are collected and laboratory work Is car ried on. Here also Is the only whale fishery on the coast. Whales are of ten caught here, a thing unknown anywhere else on the coast. More head and Beaufort do not offer the surf bathing attractions that Wrights vllle does, on account of inaccessi bility, but the boating and fishing are far superior. means. The training wnicn mazes people happiest in themselves, also makes them most serviceable to others." What higher motive could any college have? The greatest problem of the day Is the education of the young people, the boys and girls, the young men and young women, upon whom Is soon to the rest the responsibility of the church and the nstlon. Since this Is true It is nec essary that the college consider carefully Its mission and, with a deep sense of Its responsibility, guard the trusts committed to its keeping and training. There Is now, as has always been, a spirit of indifference manifest on the part of parents and children alike In this all-Important matter. It Is not by persuasion nor by force that this Is to be overcome, but by the lrresistable Influence of the ed ucated men and women of the coun try for which the colleges are re sponsible. What nobler possession is there for a boy or girl than a Christian education? With what Instrument can they render to God and man a greater service? What higher am bition could serve as a propelling force to urge one, not simply to the possession of an education, but to the accomplishment of that "which must result from such a foundation. It is not scholarship alone, dui scholarship Impregnated with relig ion that tells on the world. It must be true then, that Christian educa tion Is the kind of education that is wanted and that is needed. There are colleees all over the land, but are they all Christian colleges? Is the Bible a prominent text book and is there an earnest seeking after that which is a true Interpretation of what it teaches? Are the wishes and desires of parents always fulfill ed In the child sent to college? If ror where lies the fault; with the child or with the college? Then, without casting any reflection up.n any college, for we are not the Judge, let us but seek to know what is the character of the influence and the training that is to be given first and all the time. The college should remember that In every boy and In every girl there is a privilege and an opportunity.

The name "alfalfa" is of Asiatic origin and means the best fodder. The south ern European name of "lucerne" was formerly applied to the plant In the eastern part of the United States and in Utah, but the name al falfa, under which it was introduced by Spaniards. Persia was the first nation which grew this plant. The Persians took It with them when they Invaded Greece about 490 years B. C. The object of this intro duction appears to have been to pro- vode forage for the horses and cat tie upon which their armies depend ed. Alfalfa was introduced into It aly during the first century A. D Such early Roman writers as Virgil and Pliny give what may still be re garded as excellent instruction re garding the handling of alfalfa fields. The introduction of alfalfa Into Spain was probably during the Moorish invasion In the eighth cen tury A. D. The Spainards introduc ed it Into Mexico and South America during the sixteenth century. It is reported to have been carried north ward from Old Mexico into what is now the southern portion of the United States, but It was not until 1854 when it was taken to San Francisco from Chile, that Its rapid extension over the irrigated sections of the western states commenced Its culture has been less successful owing to the presence of less favora ble conditions of soil and climate The history of alfalfa in the east ern States runs back for at least two centuries, and the colonists made repeated attempts to establish it un der the name of lucerne.

These inter esting figures we pick from the re port of Mr. H. T. Bauman, secretary of the East Carolina Truck and Fruit Growers' Association, whloh held Its fourteenth annual meeting In Wilmington on last Wednesday. An Industry of such magnitude and tremendous importance requires the supervision of Just such an organi zation as the East Carolina Truck and Fruit Growers' Association, and The Star Is gratified to note renew ed Interest in its valuable work and Increased determination to support an organization so well calculated to save hundreds of thousands of dol lars annually to the berry growers.

If we imbue young minds with the Just fear of God and love of our fellowmen, we engrave on those tablets something' which will brighten to all eternity. Such is the purpose, the mission, and the policy of Linwood Female College. With more than a quarter of a century of history behind her a future full of promise, the college a future full of promise, the collge is striving to do the best that is pos sible to be done in accomplishing and malataining such an ideal as we have endeavored to present. , Hundreds of young women have taken advantage of these opportuni ties and they have made good in that they are filling positions of influence and responsibility, and without boasting, might we say, filling them well. ; It is not only the purpose and mission of Linwood Female College thus to train young women, but to offer them such training and ad vantages at a cost that enables them to enjoy them.
