The three University students who were tried at Hillsboro last week for causing the death of young Rand, by hazing last sum mer, were found guilty of man Slaughter. Judge Peebles gave them the lightest sentence pos sible prescribed by law for such a crime, four months in the county jail. He added a proviso permitting the county commis sioners to hire the boys out and this will be done, their parents hiring them for the time speci fied and paying the costs of the case. Thus the case has been disposed of to the satisfaction of all parties concerned as far as we l:a e been able to learn. The boys got oft liidit and it is to be hoped their experience will be a lesson to all others, not to follow their example, but to stop the barbarous practice of hazing in all the schools. The storm of last week did much damage in various parts of the country particularly in Georgia and Alabama. Many parts of this state suffered much worse than we of this favored section. We can congratulate ourselves that we always get off lighter on such occasions than other parts of the country. The protection of our grand old mountains from severe winds and other disastrous weather disturbances is not fully appre ciated by the people of this fa vored section. Some members of the medical fraternity are shouting "quack" and "fakir" at Dr. Friedmann, tne German physician who re cently came to America to dem onstrate a cure for tuberculosis which he thinks he has discov ered. The attitude of the phy sicians who would discredit Friedmann is a result of the in born jealousy in the medical pro fession which too often rises up to discredit it. Friedinann's cure may not be a cure but that is yet to be demonstrated and it is to the credit of the medical fraternity, generally speaking, that the German doctor is being given an opportunity to show what he lias. Ho does not pro fess to work miracles: he does not profess to cure every case. But if he has discovered some thing that will in any measure reduce the progress of this most terrible of all plagues, the world will be his debtor; and the doc tors who are endeavoring to dis credit him before a thorough test of his serum is made are discrediting themselves and their profession. - Landmark. AU over the country thousands - of victims of tuberculosis have turned to the alleged cure of Dr. Friedmann as eagerly as the dy ing Israelites turned to the bra ren serpent in the wilderness. . .Tuey have flocked to New York b.V Beores and have besieged the I overnment with petitions for Jluip. The pity of it! The ser um has not yet been thoroughly tested and only a few of the many applicants can be treated. Biime 1n the last stages of the d'weaae ' who made the trip to .York with the hope of be lutf cured, cl.ed there. Land- EDITOTS ARE HUMAN. iThe Union Republican.) Editors are appreciative crea tures and the Local Editor b not an exception. For forty years he has been enlisted on the city press, beginning his re porting work as a boy in the of fice of the old People's Press, Salem and then for a time on the Western Sentinel but for twenty-odd years past a part and parcel in making The Union Re publican what it is as a news paper. From time to time some special article attracts attention and there follows a return of thanks by word or letter in the way of appreciation, which to say the least is very acceptable, for editors, after all are human. It is like a highly esteemed cit izen, prominent in our local re ligious life, told us some time a go. We listened to one of his well conceived sermons and took occasion to send him a note of appreciation. His reply will never be forgotten. "When I was young," he said, "such ev idences were quite frequent. Now that I am old, evidently my efforts are taken as a matter of course --my duty and bouquets are seldom thrown my way." On another occasion the Ixx'al Editor congratulated a local Sun day School Superintendent up on impromptu talks which he had been making every Sunday, at the close of school, upon the lesson of that day. They were short and practical and as full of logic as an egg is of meat, j He remarked "And so you appro i ciate them" (these talk's upon' the lesson) "well I am glad to hear it. For some vears 1 have put my best thought into them and you are the first man to ev er mention them to me." And this leads to a concluding sug gestion. Bo more appreciative to those with whom you asscx-i-ate, at home, at school, in church, in business or socially. Give a word of appreciation and encour agement now and then. The ef fort will cost you nothing and will not only cheer up and en courage, but may often be the means of inspiring greater ef forts on the part of those who labor and faithfully struggle on, wondering if what they are do ing meets acceptance or even passing recognition by those for whom it is done. Doingi At Davanport College. Very beautiful and impressive were the exercises attending the graduating exercises of the "Legion of Honor Teacher Train ing Class" on last Sunday night. Possibly no more fitting cere mony ever took place within the historic old walls of Daven port College, than that which sends into various parts of the Old North State, and other States as well, twenty two young women, thoroughly and fully e quipped to teach the Master's word, and to work in his vine yard. The cry in almost every church in the land is for more and efficient teachers in the Sun day School, and much credit should go to the institution that seeks to give to the world, pro ficient and finished instructors, in the noble cause for which Je sus came into the world. The remarks by Hon. J. L. Nelson, Pres. of the Board of Trustees of Davenport, were beautifully appropriate, and could not fail to leave lasting impressions for good in the minds of the young women composing the class. The address by Pres. J. B. Crav en, was a very masterly one, and delivered in his forceful and emphatic style, went straight into the hearts of all the young women, not only of the graduat ing class, but of the entire stu dent body. This sermon will be a sweet and lingering memory always in the hearts of the grad uating class. The talk by Miss Beatrice Bulla on the subject, A plea for Better Teachers, was indeed a most interesting one, and one that could not fail to in spire all those who heard it to increase their efforts to do more and better work in the future. Miss Bulla is possessed of a man ner and charm that immediately finds its way to the hearts of her hearers, and makes captives of them. Miss Tommie Brooks Baber gave a beautiful record of the class, and also read the names and addresses of the young women composing the newly organized class. The Bi ble Readings by Miss Emily Ful ler, of Georgia, and Miss Hallie Gibbs, of Marion, N. C. were beautifully and impressively ren dered. Miss Clara Horn, of Rutherfordton, N. C. played an original composition of, Nearer My God to Thee, and Miss Ba ber, Miss Mabrey, and Miss Le Gette and Mr. Birmingham sang Come Thou Fount. The Class Record, will appear in our next issue. Col. Henry WatUnon On Taft. Under the caption "Hats Off" Henry Watterson delivered the following farewell to President Taft in the Louisville Courier Journal. March 7th: Hats off to William Howard Taft. The president who goes out today surely did find Jor dan a hard road to travel. He that journeyed from Jeru salem to Jericho found not a harder. "Injins on the upper way. And death iq)on the lower." Every mile beset with )oril; the tariff sink holes; the Balling er morass: the Pinchot ambus cade, though of iop guns, exas perating if not murderous; the yawning chasms and impassable gulfs of progressiveism, as still surviving, lie came down the homestretch, the Jersey steep le-chaser forging ahead and find ing a bridge of the bodies of the slain piled up in the ditch which Roosevelt made. Hats off to William Howard Taft. He was called to answer ma ny sins not his own. There are some things worse in this wick ed world than defeat dishonor. All the Teddies on top o' dirt can not lay that cross of humili ation upon the back, nor the cross of shame upon the brow of William Howard Taft. Hell is full of desecrated friendships, broken pledges, unexpiated sins and unescapable mistakes, but heaven has still one halo left for him. "He done his duty as he seen it" writ all over in letters of liv ing light. Hats off to William Howard Taft. Long may he live to show what an ex-president ought to be. Nature herself may stand uncovered and exclaim: "Behold a man!" Washington, March 115. Pres ident Wilson sent the following nominations to the Senate today : "John Skelton Williams of Rich mond, Va., Assistant Secretary of the Treasury. Franklin D. Roosevelt of New York, Assistant Secretary of the Navy. Beverly T. Galloway, Assis tant Secretary of Agriculture Edwin F. Sweet of Grand Rap ids Mich., Assistant Secretary of Commerce. James A.
