Greenville N. C. May 22 There
are only three more weeks until com-
' ' mencement at the East Carolina Teach
ers Training School. This will be the
' iourth year's -wqrk for this school.
"V- ' When the present buildings six
Via number were erected it was thought
"- that at least ten years would elapse
before additional buildings would be
: ."' necessary to meet the demands. In
' many places there were misgivings and
many honestly doubted the wisdom of
the State's attempting to build a school
to train men and women to- teach
. Many did not know what a Teachers
raining tschool could do. iney
. thought there really was no place in
our Educational system for such a
school. Many today are still without
a correct knowledge of what is being
-done at) Greenville. Yet the manage-
ment of the school has had a clear
j.; vision of the purpose of the school
.v 'and has held it to its purpose until
- today it is the only State school in
- North Carolina that attempts the one
- thing of turning back to the State
trained teachers. It is the one insti
' tutioi in our State that holds rigidly
to the one purpose, of teacher training,
And the fact that in only four years
1 787 applicants have been turned away
for lack of room clearly sho v there is
a great demand in North Carolina -for
J- . a place where teachers may be properly

SEE SELVES II
MEMBERS OF KENTUCKY SO
CIETY SEE THEMSELVES
AS OTHERS SEE THEM.
Louisville, May 22. Kentucky so-
city is shocked after seeing itself on a
motion-picture screen in a 10-cent
movie theatre turkey-trotting and cut
ting up generally.
The pictures reproduce the scenes
attendant upon the private race meet
given by Mrs. Clarence Le Bus, wife
of the president of a tobacco company,
at her country place, Hinata Farm,
near Lexington, several weeks ago.,
Forgetful that Mrs. Le Bus had
granted permission to take motion
pictures of the whole entertainment
the young men and women ajid some
of the elders, too, danced and cut up
in a care free manner which looked
better in the surroundings of the gay
race meeting than one the motion-
picture screen.
This they realized when some, at
tracted by the sign before the theatre,
entered and beheld themselves others
saw them.

WAS NEAR FRIEND
OF. Hi: PHILLIPS
Unfortunate Macon Banker Who
Died Yesterday Well Known
To New Bern Man.
MACON INTENSELY STIRRED
Mr. Walker Took Tablet Of
chloride of Mercury Think
ing It Was Aspirine.
Bi-
Rev. J. B., Phillips, who has been in
Macon", Ga., holding a revival meeting,
talks in.eres:ingly cf the excitement
which prevailed in that city on account
of the unusual fate of fianker B. Sanders
Walker, who a week ago yesterday swal
lowed by mistake a tablet cf bichlo
ride of mercury thinking that "it was
an aspirine tablet, and died yesterday
morning. Mr. Walkei was a personal
friend of Mr. Phillips and the latter
heard -with great sorrow of the death.
He was, however, prepared for the news
as it had been one of the sad features
of the case that the doctors have told
Mr. Walker all along that he could
not live.
National interest was aroused in
the case, the family receiving tele
grams irom scores of cities, many
extending sympathy and others of
fering suggestion .
Last week, Mrs. Walker dropped
a'nd broke a bottle cantaining tablets
of bichloride of mercury. She picked
up the tablets and put them in a box
not noticing that the bo.v was marked
"Aspirine", then went to Stevens
Pottery, Ga., to visit her fat hen.
Ea.'ly the following morning, Mr
Walker took from the box marked
"Aspirine" one of the tablets for the
relief of headache. Going back to bed
he slept for a while and then woke
with Kripine pains in the stomach. A
doctor was summoned. He soon dis
covered that the young banker was
poisoned with bichloride of mercury
Knowing the deadly nature of the
poison and knowing also that it some
times took several days to do its deadly
work, the physicians cou d on y tell
the grief-stricken fami y that there
was no chance for their oved lone to
recover.
The plight of the young banker was
soon the talk of Macon and to a great
extent of many other paces in Georgia
while newspapers all over the country
carried long dispatches telling of the
brave fight for life agafhst overwhelm
ins odds that, the- untorttinate man
was game y making.
