How the Ambitions of Profv Hayes
are Bcin Fully Realized' '
The Reidaville Seminal y, with ap
proximately 125 bright girls and
boys as student fig, ai iaier astipg;
place to visit. A representative of The
KtwiEW spent an afternoon of the pist
w.-ek in the c'asi room, and ha can

..IJinjj up a badly run-down school,
hihaJ Iready made failures in tie
S4itt3 enleivor.
. It was by ra?re accident that Reids
viilenow claims the citizenship of these
valuable people. Prof, Hayei had, on
a:cojnt of his health, givon up ciool
work and was traveling. He spent a
fe ddys in the State on business, and
while at Charlotte he felt the ever
present desire to return to his old
work. In reading' the . Observer he
earoe across an dvei tisement which
tOddo known that the Seminary in
tteidsvilla was in neei of a principal.
He carp here and investigated the
ti .-id, and determined to cast id bit lot
with Raidsville people I The ! field di J

ihd nearby territory revealed to him
the possibility of building up a school
which could draw support from the

other adjoining counties. .: lie tet to
work, and from the first Reidsville
people f t that he was the rignt man
at the i ig it place.
How we 1 he ha succeeded in building
up the Seminary may be seen from the
simple statements to follow which are
observations the result of The Rs
view man's visit to the school tho
afternoon referred to. , . .
The bjilding, originally constructed
for the purpose it is now being used,
was founa to be entirely inadequate
to meet the reqairmeutl'of a school
which Prof. Hayes desired toestablub,
and immediately after he bad accqtiired

which afforded a better aaie.nbly hall,

this explanation is given: Once a week
the studant body is called together in
informal meeting, and a box of queries
on etiquette is opened. ' TheaV queries
bring out many points of politeness
aid good jianners which are discussed.
If a student is observed asking for
something in incorrect language a query
which ' will cause a discussion on the
matter is depoisted in the box' .
Especial attention is given to physical
culture, and the students are daily drill
ed and exercised with view of furn
ishing an easy mode, of locomotion and
alertne s . . The spacious play gronnds
come in handy in the afternoons when
' school is out" for the outdoor sports
so necessary in college Hie.
The courses of stny art comprehen
sive and practical and are carefully
arranged with a view to the demands
made upon young men and women in
everyday life. The instruction is thor
ough. , Many of the leading col
leges admit the t Seminary students on
the certificate of the principal. ... ,
There is a special course for those
who desire to become teachers, and
this course includes instruction in ped
agogy, the theory and practice of
teaching, and the best modern methods
to b? employed. . t :....

Capital Versus Labors
Danville Register.
The mine ouners in the Goldfield
mini g district in Nevada, spurred on
by the presence of the Federal troops
in tha camo, are more than anxmu3 to
have martial law- proclaimed. The
presence of the soldiers is quite nat
urally resented by the miners, who do
not like the idea of being classed as
outlaws, simply because they demand a
part of their wages for mining gold in
the yelljw metal, which they prodnce
from ihe bowels of the earth Had
President Roosevelt sent his commis
sion to" investigate the cause of the
strike before lushing in Federal trocps,
if even a commission were necessary,
the matter woutd have been adjusts
ere this, and quiet restored. . As it is
the government is involved in an im
broglio precipitated by the hasty action
of the President in sending- General
Funston and United Stated soldiers to
the scene. Martial law has been the
cry of the mine owners f row the vtry
outset of tne trouble, and will doubtless
continue to be, until martial law is ac
tually proclaimed by Gdnaral Fanstun,
or the troops are sent back to Califor
nia from whence they came. In this

Fetzer & Tucker, the enterprisin?
druggist, rather than await the ordi
nary methods of introduction, urged
the Dr. Howard Co., to secure a quick
sale for their celebrated e pecific for
the cure of constipation and dyspepsia
by offering the reguLr EOc. bottle at
half price.
So much talk has been caused ly
this offer, and so .many new friends
have been made for the specific, that
the Dr. Howard Co., have authorized
druggist Fetzer & Tucker to continue
this special half-price sale tor a lim
ited time longer.
In addition to selling a 50c. bottle of
Dr. Howaro's specific for 25c , Fetzer
& Tucker have so much faith i.i the
remedy (that thay will refund tie

Jet becsuie of one small woman and
a c'rug store toilot set.
She was Cactus Center's teacher, and
i the hadn't left the stage
Tore the hsd the boys plum locoed,
and 1 don't bar youth nor ago.
She was cute and smart and pretty,
and the might 'a' boon here yet
If it hadn't been for Dawson and his
drug store toilet set.
It was old and scratched and speckled,
', fer 'twas in his case fer years,
Cut old Dawson, sharp and clever, put
a whisper in our eare
'Lowed he'd sell that set at auction, and
he cays, "Now, boys, you bet
This'll make a hit with teacher this

IT WAS TEEN DEOCH TBI BHOOTI8'.
Well, the biddin' started lively, and it

And 'twaf lack of ammemition that at

And thirtcAVi of us was hurted, but the
v.orit blow that we met
Was in findin' that some bullets had
gone through that toilet set.
Cut wo plugged the punctures in it, and
we plugged the wounded, too,
And agreed we'd arbitrate it, and th
bunch 'd tea It through, .
So we tent a gift committee, but they

Fer the teacher 'd fluttered eastward,
