Industrial Education.

The North Carolina College of
Agriculture and Mechanic Arts
begins its eleventh session Wed.
nesday, September LIST, 1899,
with an addition of an important
department.. A course of instruc-
ton in Textile Industry, which
is attaining phenomenal growth
10 this State and throughout the
South, and which requires speci-
ally prepared and skilled SUPER
intenden.s for its various
branches, has been added.
Hitherto it has kbeen necessary
to get such help from the New
England Cotton Mill districts, or
elsewhere, but now an oppor-
tunity is to be given the youths
of this State to acquire the skill
and knowledge reqisite to fill
these positions.
This College has already at
tanned and envisble reputation
for turning cut graduates of
highest excellence in the various
branches taught, and they are
filling positions Of trust which
require skill and a technical edu-
cation. The demand for persons
SO educated is far in excess of
supply.
We advise any young man to
seriously consider taking a course
in this institution.
Entrance examinations will be
held at the courthouse in the
various county seats lob,
under the supervision of the
County Superintendent, or in
Raleigh, September 9Th,

WHEAT.

Although in addition to this
years crop there is considerable
wheat in storage in this county
from last years supply, good
prices are looked for. And for
the reason, it is stated, that
Europe will again be COM
PEELED TO make heavy calls upon
us after the seasons crop oyer
there has been harvested. The
French harvest, it is learned, will
fall of perhaps 20, 600, 900 bushels
from last year. Ia Russia the
crop will, it is estimated, be S.
GOO, 600 to 12O, coo 900 bushels
short of, 1898, and the rye crop
is also said to be poor in many
provinces, R%oumania, Italy,
Bulgaria, and Spain are re-
ported 20, 900, 900 bushels short
of last year, and India's crop,
harvested last March, fell 1000
900 bushels below the 1898 yelld.
The Hungarian, German. and
Austrian product will. it is pre-
dicted, be good, but of these 3
countries only from Hungary is
much wheat exported, and the
amount from that quarter will
not go very far to Offset the 9TH

MIR. e. B. HOOD DEAD.

The serious illness of Mr. Edw.
b. Hood, Treasurer of the county,
mentioned in these columns some
days ago, eliminated in his death
Sunday at noon, at his home in
this city, in the 62nd year of his
age.
In the death of Mr., Hood the
county has not only lost an eff
Gent officer but a citizen who in
every relation of life measured up
to the highest standard of chris
tian manhood. As a soldier there
was none drawer or more endur-
ing, as a comrade in arms there
was none kinder, more considers
ate or more beloved: as a husband
there was none truer nor gentler
SIS a father he led where his sons
can follow with pride and with
honor. When such an one IS called
from the walks of men, even
though in the cleaning of life, and
we know he has fallen on sleep
that is sweet, yet do sorrow and
the sense of loss come with keen
reality to many hearts, and to those
who have been made to mourn by
tLis visitation the tenderest SYM
pathy of the ARGUS and this peo-
pie goes out in all sincerity.
The historian of our time will
review many important and sign
Gcant lives and will lay the laurels
upon many a stored tomb, but in
the quiet burying ground on the
cd homestead in Grantham town
ship, where his remains we're in
TERED Monday there will sleep till
the Resurrection morn one who,
like Enoch Of old, "waIked with
God and was not, for God took
him."
The deceased was an exem-
plary member of the Methodist
church aud an unwavering
christian. He was the father of
our estimable young friend Mr..
Geo. E. Hood, of the Goldsboro
Bar, and Mr.. Paul Hood, of the
Western Union Office. His funer-
al was conducted on Monday
from the home, Rev. F. D..
Swindell officiating. Four broth
ers, Messrs. E. g. Hood of this
city, and Robert, John and Nath.
an Hood survive him.

Rumor OF a Big Enterprise.

The Walnut Cove Argus en-
Enthusiastically claims to have res
liable information that the Nc
Gill water site near shat place
will be bought by a Northern
firm for the purpose Of erecting
an electric plant by which elec-
trio cars will be run to Danbury,
a distance of ten miles, thus
reaching the heart of Stokes,
one of the richest counties in
North Carolina in undevelopsd
resources. The Argus says:
We predict for Stokes county
one of the greatest futures of any
county in the State of North
Carolina. She far exceeds many
of the other counties in natural
resources, such as iron ore, coal,
mica and granite in immense
quantities, timber of all ordinary
kinds, water power for manu-
featuring enterprises and the
finest mineral springs in the
South. All these, with a genial
climate with it's scenic resource,
the tall gray cliffs and deep ra-
vines, its wooded rivers and fer
tile pillow lands, with many other
advantages too numerous to men
tion, will bring the capitalists and
business men this way when we
wake from our lethargy and ad-
vertise our advantages.

For more than a hundred years
the grave of John Paul Jones
has been supposed to be in the
little cemetery OF Plcpue, in old
Paris-a burial spot immortal:z-
ed. by Hugo in.Les Niserabeles"
and sanctifed by the grave of
the Marquis de Lafayette, So
wanting in respect for the mem
Dry of the naval hero of the Rev

est felt in the fate of the gallant
first admiral, that no effort was
made to discover his actual
tomb.
A patriotic American. MIR J,G.
Johnson, made the fading of
Admiral Jones' grave a loving
task. He found it in the Cemetery
for foreign Protestants, so re-
ported to Secretary of State
Hay, and the American Ambass>
ador will be instructed to see
that flowers are placed upon the
tomb during the entire Exihi-
bjtion.
But why not bring these poor,
neglected bones to the United
Statesp That's what The Times
suggests and urges upon Presi-
dent Mckinley, and Secretary
Long. Not a ship in the White
Squadron is too good to be de-
tailed for this duty. The honored
body of Ericsson was sent to
Sweden in a man-of-war;equally
great is the nations debt to John

Lei the American people do a
tardy honor to the immortal hero
Of the Revolution.
The bones of John Paul Jones
rest in a neglected grave in the
little foreign Protestant GENE
terry at Paris. The tomb has been
found by James G. Johnson and
the official announcement made
to Secretery of State Hay.
The Times proposes that the
bones of this Hero of heroes
the man who, IN the Bonhomme
Richard, fought the frigates
of Great Britain to a fnish and
never talked about it OR wrote a
magazine article-be brought
here in the finest vessel this
country owns, and buried with
national honorr, in the brightest,
sunniest knoll 81 the Arlington
Heights.
Later, a monument: but first a
grave among the people he serv-
ed so well and faithfully.
That he was born abroad
counts for nothing. as the his
tories of our later vars prove.
We have becoma a naval peo-
pie! Glory and national pride
have come to US from out the
sea. The line Of heroes began
with the man who, from the
Quarterback of his shotsriddled
sioop.of-war. wared a demand
from the Scraps c o surrender:
Il HAVE ONLY BEGUN TO
FIGHT"
Those words furnished iuspirs
alton and courage for the Perrys,
Decaturs, Farraguts, Cushings
and Porters, as well as to every
man who since has fought under
the naval burgee Of the United
States.
