THE
GREAT NATIONAL EMBEZZLEMENT.
In a Southern newspaper appears
the following advertisement, typi
cal of thousands, of others:
"WANTED. Immediately ' Princi
pal for Advanced Gradis in Two
Teacher High School, man or wo
man. Must bo good disciplinarian,
competent, painstaking, and thor
ough. Salary $100 per month."
His public-school system has made
the Anglo-Saxon the raler of the
world. The pay of teachers Mas al
ways been low, but always, never
theless hih enough comparatively
to make the profei3iom attractive,
socially and otherwise.
roaajt-eotnpetent teachers are lit
erally being kicked out of the school
houses of the nations. There are
some martyrs to the cause who will
starve for it, and let their families
stanre, but the economic magnet is
emptying the teachers' platforms
with all the certainty and speed of
gravitation.
At a time wiei the strength of the
schoolhouses should be multplied
and then multiplied again, the entire
.Institution of public instruction Is
lielng drained of its life-blood. Such
malpractice is as sure a road to na
tional ruin as any that we know.
It Is the business of business men
to see to It that the schools in their
localities measure up to the require
ments and exigencies of the times.
and there never was a good school
With the principal of it tumbling Into
debt for the accessaries of life.
It Is not economy to embezzle the
real of teaohere by stealing from
them their Juit reward.Manufac

GEORGE WASHINGTON IN
ROCKINGHAM COUNTY
J. A. Hoskins writes the Greens
boro News as follows:
There has been a discussion going
on in the columns of the News re
garding distinguished personages
whose history ia connected, with
Gdilford county. It has been shown"
that the wife of our fourth Presi
dent was barn at New Garden
(Guilford College) that our seventh
President had been a resident of our
county and a member of our bar.
We now come to the greatest of
them all, our first President, the
Immortal George Washington. His
history is indisputably linked with
that of Guilford. He was entertain
ed at Guilford court house (Martin
ville) June 2, and 3, 1791, ' by Gov
ernor Alexander Martin, on his
Southern tour, and visited the scenes
of the great conflict between our
own General Greene and General
Lord Cornwallis. I am here present
ing his Journal from June 2, to June
l.-This is the first appearance in
North Carolina of this part of Wash
ington's diary of his Southern tour.
I so understand. It has long been a
moot point lasoiwheiher-Govornor-
" Martin entertained President Wash
ington, at Guilford Court house, or
at Danbury, lit:, plantation on the
Dan, in Rockingham county. The
diary set3 the matter straight. Judge.
Douglas, in his address at Guilford
Battleground celebration, and which
is in booklet form, was in error
In saying that this historical event
took place "at Danbury." Mr. Frank
Nash in his admirable paper on Gov
ernor Martin follows Judge Douglas

shown by the volume of Colonial and
State Records, containing the first
census. ne had abb a home in Mar
tlnville, and there he did the honors.
Judge Douglas was, no doubt, rely
ing on the first census. Hi -adilffm
13 a splendid effort and throws much
light on the life and times of Gov
ernor Martin.
The copies I have of the D'.iry
-Southern Tour, are pho'tat copies
, of the original manuscript in Wash
ington's own handwriting, obtained
from the library of Congress. It is
my purpose to present ti e reminder
of the DIary (North Carolina,' South
Carolina, and return trip through
i
Virginia to Alt. Vernon.) It contains
a statement of his impressions of
the States visited. It is of great In
terest.
From the record in Washington's
own writing I quote:
Thursday, June 2nd, 1791.
In company with the Governor I
act out by four o'clock for Guilford,
breakfasted at one Dobsons, at the
distance of eleven miles from Salem
and dined at Guilford, sixteen mile
farther, where there wa3 a consider
able gathering: of people, who bad
received notice of mj intention to be
theifUnosifyrDhmy way I exam7
ined the ground on which the action
between General Greene and Lord
Pnrnwallls commenced, and , after
dinner rode over that, where their
lines were formed and the score
closed in the retreat of the American
forces. The first lino of which wai;
advantageously drawn up and h;u'
the troop3 done their dufy properly
the British must have ben sorely
Raided in ye advance, if not defeat
ed. The lands between Salem and
'Guilford are in places very fine but
upon the whole can not be called
more than middling, some very bad
On my approach to this place (Guil
ford) I was met by a party of light
horse which I prevailed on the Gov
ernor to disruis3 and to counterman
his orders for others to attend mo
through the State.
Friday, 3.
Took my leave of the Governor,
whose intention Was to have at
tended me to the line, but for my
ri suest that he would not, and about
four o'clock I proceeded ori my Jour
ney, breakfasted ct Troublesome
Iron Works, called fifteen but at
least seventeen miles from Guilford,
partly in the rain and, from my in
formation, or for want of it, was ob
liged to travel twelve miles further
than I intended today, to one Gate
wood's within two miles of Dix' Fer
ry over the Dan. at least t thirty
miles from the Iron Works. The
land over which I passed this day
were of various qualities and as' I ap
proached the Dan, were a good deal
covered with pine. In conversing
with the Governor, on the state of
politics in North Carolina I learned
with pleasure that opposition to the
general government and the'. discon
tent of : the people were subsiding
fast and that he should 30 soon as
he received the laws which he had
written to the Secretary of State for.
Issue his proclamation requiring all
officers and members of the Govern
ment to take the oaths prescribed
by law. He seems to condemn the
speculation . in lands and the pur
chases from the State of Georgia,
and ' thinks, as every sensible and
disinterested man must that schemes
of that sort mu3t involve the coun
try in trouble, perhaps in blood.
Saturday, 4. '
Left Mr. Gatewood's about half
ter six o'clock and between his
house and the Ferry passed the line
which divides the State of Virginia
and North Carolina and dining at
one Wilson's, sixteen miles from the
Ferry, lodged at Halifax old Town.
Conscience Stricken Person Sends . $1
After Many Years.
About 24 years ago Louis Michaels
drove a wagon for a candy company
In Milwaukee. " Among the wares he
sold were cookies.- One clay a boy stole
a handful of cookies from the wagon,
but Michaels thought no more of the
prank until he received a letter in
closing $1.
That the man had apparently be
come conscience stricken as a result
of religious studies Is Indicated by the
iiulosure of pamphlets on theologyand
a copy of his letter:
'Inclosed you will find a dollar bill
in payment of theft committed 24 years
ago for a handful of cookies.
Jesus says no thief, liar, deadbeat or
murderer of a person can get Into the
kingdom of heaven unless he repents
for his sins."

End of the world is Not Yet.
To the Editors: On December 17,
101ft, the union of planetary bodies
may produce sun spots which will
do damage to the eearth, but the end
of time is not yet. When you see all
the things mentioned in the 24th
chapter of St. Mathew, you may
know th end of time is near.
I don't see why the "preachers do
not read and preach from this chap
ter more than they do. I don't be
lieve I have heard a preacher read or
preach from this chapter In twenty
year3. When you see all of these
things come to pass mentioned in
this chapter, look out little ones
and big ones, too. When the four
kings mentioned in the seventh
chanter of Daniel dulev the earth,
and then one of the four will rule
the whole earth. The end of the
world will be near then.

Swallowed "S Copperfiea J That Carried
Many Little Ones.
A sure enough sn;ike story comes
from Buckusburg, Calloway county,
Kentucky, and is reported by F. U.
Guler and son Dennis, whose record
for truth and veracity cannot be ques
tioned. While the two men were suckering
tobacco one day their attention was at
tracted by the family dog barking and
making a peculiar alarm. They went
to the dog and saw the animal grab
a big snqke and begin -shaking" itr
In doing so young snakes the size
and length of a lead pencil began to j
scatter about him. The men exumlned
the young reptiles and found them to
be copperheads, but the snake which
the dog attacked was a big chicken
snake four feet long.
They .-were not-sutisfied with this
sit range condition and on further ex
amination they found that the chicken
snake had swallowed a copperhead
snake two and a half feet long, which
contained the little snakes.
Seven of the youngsters were found,
but there might have been more In the
lot" that, were scattered about whea
the dog began to shake the big one.
Aaded to Family.
Mr. and Mrs. Leon Rathbun of
Grover, Ta., started the other day with
a neighbor on an automobile ride.
When they returned home twins had
been added to the family.
