COUNTRY SCHOOLS.

Mr.. Geo. II. Rooster, OF the Co,um-
bin Record, wont to tho campaign meet
ing 1T Winnsbor0 aud made full re-
port OF the speeches. In his report of
Col. J. II. Rice's speech he says
tie told II vital truth when he said
the office OF superintendent of educa-
tiOn was not u political Office and there
fore ought to bc severed from the poll
ticnl campaign. Tue people OF the
country have TO move to the cities t.,
get their children educated. This il
wrong. The country schools should be
hniit up SO that mcn could remain on
their farms and have good schools
within reach of their children.
He is cmincnLly correct IN this posi-
tioa. The Herald aud News has hcen
preaching that same doctrine for years.
We arc glad to sec people move u
town but IL should not bc for tho pur.
pose of securing good schools. We
need good schools in every country
community in the State. The good pco.
pic OF tho country should not be forced
or lccl it necessary to leave their farms
ana comfortable homes to come to town
to educate their children. We want
good people to remain in the country
and our school system will never be
complete until we have II good school
in every country community.

Raby Joined a Baptist church in
Elizabeth about 40 years ago. He
says lie. believes q person must have a
change of heart or he won't 60 to
heaven. He dates his conversion to a
time when he was in Virginia and very
sick.
SMOKED SINCE SIX YEARS OLD.
When boy of six Raby learned to
smoke, as he was in the habit of light
ing his mothers pipe for her. He
says it never hurt him in the least.
"Uncle Noah," as he is known, sleeps
fairly we'll. His general health is good,
and he eats his food will evident rel
ish. For a number of years he was
stone blind, but last summer an oculist
performed an operation which restored
the sight of one eye to him.
Raby gave an example of his excel
lent memory recently when cousin of
Overseer Hummer called at the poor
farm. He had not been there before
for 19 years. Raby remembered him
by his voice and called him by name.
Mr.. Hummer's cousin remembered
having seen Noah when he was 107
years old.
Notwithstanding his great age, Noah
is confident that he will live for years
to come. The physician who keeps a
watch on him, says he would not be
surprised if Raby not only lived to see
the end of the century, but reached
the age of 13O. The physician does
not doubt Raby's story in the least
and considers him a freak of nature.

l26 YEARS OLD,

Noah Raby, believed to be the old
est man in the United States, celebra-
ted his 126th birthday at the township
poor farm at PiScataway, near New
Brunswick, n. j., Friday. There have
been many who doubted the old mans
claims to 50 great an age, but few who
have seen and heard the old man
doubt the story he tells.
The cenlenarian is comfortably loca-
ted and his good health is evidence
of the careful treatment he receives.
He has had So many visitors that
Overseer Hummer has been obliged to
limit reception day to Saturday, and
each Saturday there are sure to be a
number of visitors at the farm to see
Noah. Nearly every one who goes to
see him wants to hear the story of his
life. 1t Itinvariably reveals these facts a:
BORN IN NORTH CAROLINA.
He was born at Eatontown, Gates
county, n. c., April l, 1772. His
mother was a native South Caro-
linian and his father a North American
Indian named Andrew Bass. Raby
says he never had chance to learn,
and when a boy was bound out to a
man named Miles Field. He remained
with this man until 81 years of age.
Then he started out for work and be-
came overseer for a Mrs. Penelope
Parker, a widow. Afterward he went
to work for her daughter-in-law, Mrs.
Sarah Parker, also a widow. With
the latter Raby fell in love, but had
not the courage to tell her so. Final
ly, as a cure, he went TO sea, enlisting
on the Brandywine. Served several
years, leaving just before the war of
1912.
The enlistment papers of the Bran
dywine were destroyed when Wash
ington was burned.
Raby is positive that, when young
man, he heard General Washington
speak. He says it was at Norfolk,
and the general was angry about
something. He says the general in
his speech said: "Keep right on, fel.
lowe citizens, as you have been going
on, and 1 assure you we will have the
devil to pay in this republic, and no
pitch hot"

A WORD CONTEST.
Of the Yorkyille ENQUIRER

Correspondence Of the Yorkville Enquirer.
YoRKvILLE, April 4.-The pro-
gramme of the Progressive Amuse-
ment club, at its last regular meeting,
on Friday evening last, was somewhat
varied but the chief feature consisted
in a word-making contest The meet
ing was held at the residence of Rep.
rescntative J. R. Wilherspoon, and his
daughter, Miss Annie, arranged and
conducted the contest as follows: The
members were arranged by fours and
given pencil and paper and told to
write as many words as possible in a
given time, the words to begin with a
certain letter that was to be announced
at the tap of bell. Three minutes
was the time allotted to writing the
words beginning with each letter,
after which pause was made and the
words counted. The two having writ
ten the largest number Of words were
then advanced, in progressive order,
to the next table, and the two having
the lowest number, were allowed to
remain. A new score was begun at
the next tap of the bell, and the order
of progression repeated as before.
The letters selected were eight in
number and taken in consecutive order,
formed the word g-e-r-a-n.i-u.m. The
contest, including pauses and neces,
sary arrangements, lasted for about
one hour, and when completed the
score credited to each read as follows /:
Professor J. B. Kennedy, 406 ; Profes-
sor w. E. Dendy, 351 ; Miss Mary
Schorb, $40; Star Mason, 1926; Miss
Jessie Latimer, 1926; w. @. Gist, 325 ;
Miss Essie Stewart, 312; DR.. NJ. w.
White, 312; ]. T. Thomasson, 269 ;
Miss Annis OLeary, 245; Professor
J. A. Tate, 213; Miss Addie Williams,
175.
Prof J. B. Kennedy was declared
the winner, and a handsome prize was
presented to him by the president in
behalf of the club. After indulging
in few further amusements of minor
Importance, the club was served with
refreshments, which proved quite an
enjoyable feature of the evenings
program. 81
At the next meeting, which will be
held two weeks hence, DR.. M. w.
White promises to entertain the club
with his gramophone, by means of
which he will reproduce the latest mu-
sic by Sousa's band and the Metropol-
itan orchestra, solos on the cornet,
trombone, xylophone and saxophone,
and number of songs by the best ar
fists of today. A regular program
will be provided besides this special
feature Of the evening, so that all are
looking forward to all occasion of rare
pleasure.

first officer in the gate was met with a
volley of Kisses. Some of the men
were expecting the cadets, in their
wild state of excitement, to open fire
with a gun. This was expected. 1t
would have been the signal for bloody
battle in the quadrangle.
A reporter for The News and Cour-
ier heard of the trouble on the street
and hurried to the building. When
he reached the iron gateway he was
halted, but the boys finding that he
was after getting the story, promptly
opened the gate and sneaked him to a
reception room. The leaders would
not allow a light to be made, but Il few
minutes later Professor Parker came
in and requested the reporter to leave.
AS he left so boys shouted for him to
hear their side of the affair.
Colonel Coward was seen this morn
ing. The great strain had shown on
him, but the respect borne him by the
cadets had saved Cantey. That re-
spect, however, could not stop the
riot. Colonel Coward said he regret
ed the affair and he would report it
this morning to the chairman of the
board. There can be but one end to
the trouble, the authorities say.
This morning the cadets were still
gathered on the galleries discussing
the riot and singing songs. They were
comparatively quiet, but the police re-
NAMED on duty outside. The crowds
were ordered TO leave the green.
The FIVE cadets who were taken
back by the board of visitors were not
allowed by the corps to participate in
the movement to GUST Cantey.
The students claim that the whole
trouble grew out of the fact that the
superintendent, commandant and
board of visitors countenanced Can
tey's action in reporting the cadets.
This, they say caused great indigna-
tion in the corps. Resolutions were
drawn up some days ago and sent to
Cantey's father, asking him to with
draw his son from the institution, but
these proved of no avail. 1t was after
this that the indignation among them
reached such a point that 80 of their
number, representing every class in
the academy, drew up resolutions to
which they affixed. their names, swear
ing on honor 10 force Cantey to leave
the institution by last night at the
latest. They met at the time appoint
ed to carry out their purpose. They
were divided into squads of Is men
each, one squad alone at first being
sent to notify Cantey of the determi-
nation reached by his fellow students.
They started for Cantey's room as
quietly as possible, but found the su-
perintendent and the commandant,
who had previous knowledge of their
purpose, awaiting them there.
1t was then that the trouble ensned,
an account of which has been given.
