Some things which have been
said, and more which are dis
cussed, might leave the Impress
ion that the Agricultural and Me.
chanical College ia this city has
been more ornamental than use
fu'; aud nislead some to believe
that it has not aehived the sue
cess, or attracted to it the patron
age of our people that such a
institution, with its excellent
equipments, should enjoy,
It gives The Post sincere pleas
ure to assert that during the ten
years of it's existence that this
college has accomplished very
great good for the State in the
preparation of its young men for
useful vocations in life; and we
are we'll borne out in this asser>
ton by the records of the gradu-
ates of this institution, Colonel
Holiday. who has been its pres :
ident since it's establishment, aud
his co-laborers can well point
with pride to the results of their
labors-the number of yong men,
fitted at that college. who are ems
joying the blessings as well as
the advantages of the practical
education given to them there.
Elsewhere we given a compar-
alive table Of the Institutions OF
several states, North and South,
which will prove instructive as
we'll as interesting to our readers
1t will thus be seen that, though
the youngest institution OF them
all. with the smallest income and
shamefully small compared with
some Of the others, our college
has reached a position fully
abreast of the best of them. Read
that table, carefully, ye taxpays
ers, and see for yourselves.
Our institution was established
in 1889. It began with only 73
pupils. The next year; 1890. 1t
had 81, and then the number
each year thereafter as follows:
10, ia, 1872, 24O, 1873, 247, 255,
and last scholastic year 257. The
year 1895 the numbers as seen,
dropped to 1913, on account OF
scare about typhoid fever which
prevailed to some extent in West
Raleigh. But with that exception
and for the cause assigned, every
year since the beginning, the cols
lege has steadily grown in popu-
lar favor, and as stated above.
each year has turned out a set of
boys who have entered upon
life's duties and labors under
auspices and with an equipment
they could not have hoped for
but for the opportunity and adj
vantages given by this college.I 1t
is and has been since is begin
ming a credit to the State a bless
ing to our youth in the oppor-
tunities offered, aud should be
very carefully fostered By those

An Imposter Discovered.

Asheville, N. c., May 29.-The
State Board of Medical Examin,
r finished their annual Exam
nations to-day. One hundred and
five candidates stood examina-
tons.
The following interesting dis
closure was made to-day:
A young North C%arolinlan, who
aspired to be doctor, Attempted
to work a clever ruse on the Me-
dical Board. He was aware be
could not stand the examinations,
and yet he was determined to get
the requisite license. The idea
struck him to hire a substitute.
With this in view, he wrote to a
friend in Baltimore, who is a phy-
stefan, one who stood high in his
class. The Baltimore doctor was
to come to Asheville, having as
sumed the North Carolina mans
name, and pass the examination,
get license turn it over 20 the real
person in whose name it was made
out, and receive therefor a goodly
sum. The plan all but succeeded.
Thanks to watchful eyes of men,
bers of the Board, the fraud was
detected and scheme upset, after
the Baltimore man had taken part
IF the examinations.

An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUF OF FEES, manufacturer BY the
CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. It
is the one perfect Strengthening laxa-
Give, cleansing the system efectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and feyers
gently yet promptly and enabling ona
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and SUBJ
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from SIENNA and
other aromatic plants, by a method
known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP
Co. only. In order to get its beneficial
effects and to avoid limitations, please

ROCK SPRING NURSERIES.
A ID NURSERY AND
TRUCK FARM NEAR
WARSAW.
Mr.. f. G. Middleton, a WelI-Known MUIR
seryman and Trucker, is Located in
the Heart of the Trucking Sec
ton and is Winning Fame
for Himself and His
Products.

Very recently a representative
of the ARGUS had occasion to visit
Warsew and while there drove out
in company with MI. F. q. Mid
dleton, to his home, about three
miles from town on the road to
KenapsvilIe. The trip was made
especially to see his truck and
nursery farm, which has given its
owner fame throughout the East
ern section of North Carolina,
where be has sold the product OF
his nursery, and also on Northern
markets, where his Strawberries
have sold for fancy prices in CON-
petition with berries from all over
the United States.
On the morning when the writer
made this visit the farm was seer
to advantage. The natural con-
ditions, with the bright rays OF
sunshine falling obliquely from
an eastern sky on the verdant
fields; while the green foliage OF
truck and tree was famed and
swayed continuously by the balmy
breezes floating in from the south
east, perhaps flom across the
broad Atlantic, were all propiti-
Gus conditions, which served to in
fuse life into every variety Of tree
and truck and every bud and
flower.
The owner of the premises was
careful to explain every detail Of
his nursery, which commences
with the planting of the seed of
the apple, peach, pear, plum and
several other kinds of trees. The
seed are planted in February gen.
orally and at this time the young
trees are from Is I'd Is and 20 IN
ehes high. The grating process,
with which everybody is familiar,
IS the next thing aud then the trees
will be ready for transplanting in
the fall.
One popularity about the rur-
sery business is that a tree which
springs up from seed will not bear
the same fruit as the seed. The
kind of fruit desired is secured
only by the grating or budding
process.
While Mr.. Middleton does a
big trucking business, still he does
not give near the attention to this
part of his business that he does
to his nursery. These young trees
of the several varieties are his cons
slant care. He watches yer them
from day to day as a mother over
her children, and each one of the
several thousand receives his per-
sonal attention. Perhaps it is this
personal painstaking with his nur-
sery that has created such a de-
mand fol his trees. He informed
this writer that he intended going
out of the business some years ago,
but the numerous orders that he
received continuously in season,
accompanied by such kind ex~
~pressions of appreciation for his
work, had induced him to continue
the business, and next fall he will
have a larger number of trees for
delivery than ever before.
