monument in memory Of the late
Rev. DR.. Calvin II. Wiley, OF the Pres
byterian church, who was the founder
OF the common school system in North
Carolina and has never been egualled
since. is meeting with gratifying
favor. He was gentleman OF ster-
ling worth. scholar, an author and
speaker OF ability, and we'll merits
the proposed honor in his memory.
The Raleigh Times gives this pleasant
glimpse at the work OF one OF the old
est and best friends this writer ever
had:
In 1858 North Carolina had one OF
the best public school systems in the
country. and paid its female teachers
higher average salary than any
other State. la all tie cruel years OF
| war. the schooI-house door was not
| completely closed, and AS we'll - the
trying conditions permitted the
schools were carried on. Indeed the
| school children were as fortunate in
their way ~ the soldiers, whom Vance
kept in food and clothing. While the
other States in the Confederacy clos
ed their schools and Suspended the
entire system, there was still limit
ed opportunity presented to the Caro-
| lima children. IL is said that Mr..

COMPLIMENT TO Mr.. ST. JOHN.
How His Friends Regard an Az
nOuncement From London.
baltimore SUM

The London dispatch published in
the Sun yesterday, which stated that
Vice-President St. John. of the Sea-
board Air Line, might be elected gen
eral manager Of the Grand Trunk
Railroad Of Canada, created much in
terest in Baltimore financial and
railroad circles. The fact that an
English corporation OF such con-
servatism as the Grand Trunk Com
pany was discussing the able vice
president of the Seaboard for posi-
tion Of this sort was taken by MIR.
ST. Johns many Baltimore friends as
a nice compliment.
The Grand Trunk has over 1900
miles in its system, and is an impor-
tant competitor Of the American trunk
lines from Chicago to the Atlantic
Seaboard. 1t gridirons Ontario with
its tracks and reaches number oi
important points in Quebec. The
East terminus Of the system is al
Portland, Maine.
Friends of Mr. St. John in Baltimore
do not believe that he would enter
tain an offer to 90 with the Crane
Trunk, as they feel that he has made
the development Of the Greater Sea
board system his life's work and i:
valuable ally in this respect of the
president-Mr. John Skelton vii
Gams.

into a controversy with another de-
vout member of the colored Baptist
church:and the goat ate the tag, but
did it in such quiet way that the
mischief wrought was kept secret
until Billy was about to be cast into a

said: Here, mister, Marse John

IN acre of land to boy. We have at

an acre of land to boy. We have at
present 100000 year appropriated
by the Legislature for running ex-
penses. 1t costs about $112 per year
per capita. With smaller institu
ton the cost would be a little more
per capita. We have so employees
and - school rooms. Our boys are
in school 4. hours each day and work
Il hours each day in alienation. Our
institution is partially on the congre-
gated system, but largely on the fam
lily system. Nearly all our boys live
in cottages, 80 in a family. These
families are presided over by gentle
man and his wife, his wife being the
teacher and the gentleman having
charge Of some other department.
We work all the way from 10 to 200
boys on the farm through the sum-
mer, raising all the vegetables used
in the institution. We use 5 barrels
OF flour every day for baking and
bake every morning. 1t takes -
bushels of potatoes for meal. We
do not manufacture anything in the
institution that brings in any reve
nue. We do not believe in it. All
our time and attention is given to
training the boys in such way as to
benefit them in after life. We plan
on having our boys self-supporting
when they leave the school, or nearly
so according to their ability. The
bows who are out on leave of absence
are doing we'll. l do not know just
what percentage of our boys become
self-supporting citizens, but it is esti-
mated that about 90 per cent. of them
do well. 1t is the opinion of the peo-
pie of Michigan that this institution
is most assuredly paying institu-
ton, as one of our governors re-
marked several years ago that il it
cost per capita of $1,000 and the in
stitution only saved one boy, if that
happened to be his boy, he should

SOMETHING NEW UNDER THE SUN
New Process for Treating Leather by
Which 1t Is rlade Waterproof and

FireprOOf.
There is nothing new under the
sun said Shakespeare or somebody
else, but every now and then the con-
trary is proven. At any rate some
brought forward. and as to whether
it existed in past ages or not doesn't
concern ..weuns'' in this the closing
year of the nineteenth century.
The "something new" of which we
started out to speak is new process
which has been discovered in treating
leather making a shoe both water
proof and tireproof. This new pro-
cess is called uicilizing. Leather so
treated becomes impervious to water
and will not burn as the ordinary
article does The raw leather is
soaked in solution of asbestos, this
rendering it both tireproof and water
proof. Thus we have the .'Vicilized
Shoe," something new under the sun.
These shoes are made expressly for
B. S. Aronson and are sold in Hender-
son exclusively by him. They are called
the "Aronson Shoe" and every pair is
warranted. And Mr.. Aronson's guar
antec means something. His several
years business career in Henderson
and his well known reputation for
honesty and fair dealing have estab-
lished for Mr.. Aronson character
for making good his promises, and
when he puts his word, III it's not
all right I'll make it right" behind a
sale the people know they can rely
on it.
The "Aronson Shoe" is advertised
in this paper. Call on Mr.. Aronson
in the O'Neil Block and ask to be
shown this shoe and have its superior
merits explained to you.

Yes, August Flower still has the largest
sale of any medicine in the civilized world.
Your mothers and grandmothers' never
thought OF using anything else for lndi-
gestion or Biliousness. Doctors were
scarce, and they seldom heard Of Appen-
dicitis, Nervous Prostration or Heart
failure, etc. They used August Flower to
clean out the system and stop fermenta-
ton OF undigested food, regulate the ac.
ton of the liver, stimulate the nervous
and organic action of the system, and
that is all they took when feeling dull
and bad with headaches and other aches.

In the commonplace world through
having refused not long before an offer
from the emperor of the French of the
keepership of the Jardin des Plantes
and a senatOrship if he would come to
Paris and live. Such an incredible and
dlsinterested love for America and sci
ence in our hemisphere had lifted
Agassiz into an elevation Of popularity
which was beyond all scientific or DO
htical dignity, and the selectmen of the
town appointed a deputation to well
come him and his friends to the region.
reception was accorded. and they
came, having taken care to provide
themselves with an engraved portrait
OF the scientist to guard against per-
sonation and waste of their respects.
The head of the deputation, after hav-
ing carefully compared Agassiz to the
engraving, turned gravely to his follow
ers and said, Yes. it's him." and they
proceeded with the same gravity to
shake hands in their order, ignoring all
the other luminaries.
