State Normal and Industrial College.

The attention of our readers is
called to the advertisement OF The
North Carolina State Normal and In
dustrial College appearing elsewhere
in these columns. This college places
the best educational advantages within
the reach OF the young women Of the
State at cost ranging from S92 to
1892.
We notice that 400 young women
representing every section and nearly
every county in North Carolina were
enrolled as students during the ses-
sion Of 1899-1900. OF these 299, ac-
cOrding to their own statements
would have attended no other college;
172 Of them betrayed their own eN-
penses 40 Of them earned most of
their expenses by work in the dining
room and laundry: 1O5 of them had
taught before entering college; 427
of them were prepared partially or en-
tirely in the public schools.
Any young woman upon taking the
pledge to teach after leaving the col
lege two years in some public school
or private school of the State will re-
ceive free tuition. All free tuition
students cannot secure boarding
places in the domitories, but each
county is entitled to certain mum Der
of appointments to these places. The
entire expenses including the use Of
textbooks of young woman holding
such an appointment would be $92
for the college year.
Vance county is entitled to one
place in the dormitory.

THE LATE Or. CHEATHAM.
Tribute Paid to His Memory by One
Who Knew Him Well.

In his paper the Durham Racordcr.
Capt. j. B. Hunter pays the following
brief but merited tribute to the late
DR.. W. +. Cheatham, whom he had
known long and we'll:
When u good man dies, the people are
truly bereaved. When that affection
takes the form of public expression
evinced in universal cessation of all secu-
lar business, that reverence and respect
may testify to the worth Of the dead, no
more sincere or tender tribute can be
paid to departed usefulness and honor
During the obsequies OF DR.. Cheat tn am,
the whole people OF Henderson WED with
each other in silent expression of the
grief and loss occasioned by his death.
All business was suspended and the
whole community joined in the sad pro-
| cesson, as one man, to pay the respect
due to life of usefulness and humanity
| ever marked by a sense of Christian duty
The record that DIR. Chatham left is
one unbroken chain in the faithful and
conscientious discharge OF mans highest
obligations both to his God and his fel-
lOw-men. The memory OF his sweet life
will long survive his monument of stone
for his good deeds do follow him.
The writer had known and cherished
in fond friendship and high esteem, for
nearly half a century, the subject OF this
poor tribute to a life so eminently lovely
and attractive; and we realize that words
Of praise and admiration for lifelong
friend can best be expressed in the silent,
unbid tear that we drop at the loss of
one whose example affords the noblest
memorial to true manhood, and whose
recollection will ever bring fresh to men,
DRY the beauty of all the Christian graces
blended in the person Of our cherished
friend. Peace to his ashes and rest to
his soul.

special attention to the making of higher
| grades OF cloth such as have formerly
been imported from Europe, and textile
schools have been opened for the training

is 1T RIGHT
For all Editor to Recommend Patent
Medicines?

(Sylvan Valley News. Brevard. N. c.
1t may be a question whether the edit
or OF newspaper has the right to pub
licly recommend any OF the various pro-
prietary medicins which food the market,
yet as preventive of suffering We feel it
a duty to say a good word for Chamber
lain's Collie, Cholera and Darrhpa Rem
edy. We have known and used this
medicine in our family for twenty years
and have always found it reliable. In
many cases q dose Of this remedy would
save hours OF suffering while physician
is awaited. We do not believein depend
ing implicitly on any medicine for a cure,
but we do believe that if a bottle OF
Chamberlain Diarrhoea Remedy were
kept on hand and administered at the
inception of an attack much suffering
might be avoided and in very many cases
the presence ola physician would not be
required. At least this has been our eX-
perience during the past twenty years.

Rev. T. NJ. Johnson.

Rev Il. Nj. johnson, former pastor
of the Methodist Protestant church
in Henderson, and one of the most
popular and beloved men in that de-
nomination, passed through Hender-
son Monday returning to Greensboro.
In the spring Mr.. Johnson's health
broke down and his physician advised
him to give up work entirely for
some months and seek rest and resto-
ration. Acting upon this advice Mr..
johnson spent some time at Atlantic
City, in Washington, Maryland, and
at PanaceaSprings. He was just re-
turning from the latter place Monday.
MIR. johnson hoped to spend ten days
in Henderson, but a pressing engage
ment hurried him on to Greensboro.
His health is much improved we are
glad to say. He was looking unusu-
ally well.

Practical Education at the A. & M.
College.


Practical Education at the A. & M.
College.
We have received a little hand
book Of the North Carolina College of
Agriculture and Mechanic Arts, of
Raleigh, N. c., and we are glad to
see that this institution is devoting
itself zealously to technical education
and manual training. Our State needs
well educated men in all lines of
engineering, especially mechanical
and electrical engineering, and also in
cotton manufacturing. For the devel
opment of our natural resources, we
need also thousands of skilled work
men, expert carpenters, wood turn
ers, blacksmiths, machinists, mill
workers, mechanics, boiler tenders,
electricians and dynamo tenders. The
A. & M. College trains lads for such
work, and if they possess talent, edu-
Gates them for all technical profess
siOns.
The College last year enrolled 3O2
students, of whom many paid their
own expenses by labor at odd times.
Students who do not labor may at
tend the College at total expense,
including clothing and books, in fact
every thing, for about $40. This can
be reduced one-half by securing free
scholarship and obtaining work at the
College.
Entrance examinations will be held
in the county court house Saturday,
July 2Sth, at 10 o'clock a. M. in the
office of the County Superintendent
Of Public Instruction. Any hoy may

to the reference to MIR. Walter K.

lived in Henderson and has number
of friends here. At the time his
brothers were murdered in Waco.
Texas, the impression got out that
Mr.. Walter kivett was killed also.
This was mistake, however, as the

ing-in Goods own conntry"-and is

An Inventive Genius.

Mr.. Eugene Thorne is something of
4 genius in the line of invention. He
has several which may bring him
fortune if not fame. Among other
things Mr. ThOrne has invented COM
putting scale-or to be more accurate
several Of which are among
the best things of the kind we have
ever seen. They weigh as other
scales and at the same time designate
the amount for any given quantity at
any stated price. There is no posi-
bilitv of error and the thing is so
simple that any person can under
stand it.
Mr.. Thorne has working models of
two of his ideas at his store and those
who see them are at once impressed
with their unique character and prac-
teal value. He has taken steps to-
ward having his inventions patented.
