For The ENTERPRISE
Closing Exercises of the Taber-
nacle Sch09l.

The Tabernacle school at O. X.
taught by Mr.. and Mrs. Walter
Belk, closed Friday, April 6, with
military drill, field sports, q
picnic dinner, music, addresses.
and the distribution OF prizes.
The day was warm, bright and
thoroughly delightful, but for the
presence Of one unlimited and
most unwelcome guest, who, like
others in the same position, pro,
ceeded to make himself disagree
able and everybody uncomforta-
BILE. Unfortunately, there was no
way of suppressing "His Majesty"
King North Wind, so he was
ignored as much as possible.
The girls and boys in the mill
tary drill were dressed in uni
forms-the girls in navy blue,
trimmed in white, sailor waists,
white vests, standing collars, blue
ties, white cuffs and blue caps
the boys in athletic suits of the
Tabernacle colors-dark red and
old gold.
All the pupils wore knots of
old gold and cardinal red ribbon.
The bright colors, gay silk flags
and perfect step kept to the drum
beats, made the Exhibition
Drill" very attractive feature
of the day.
The address of welcome was
given by Rev. @. II. Clyde and
the response by Rev. Mr.. Beden-
baugh.
The prizes for department were
awarded by vote of the school
to Miss Russia Plyler and Mr..
Wesley Powell, of the seniors;
Miss Lillian Griffin, Miss Merjean
McManus and Master Ben Nc
Manus, of the Juniors, and there
was candy galore.
The school has been thorough
ly pleasant and successful one.
The pupils deserve much credit
in many ways. They will long be
remembered by the teachers with
pleasure, as will the great kind
ness of the whole people.
In prosperity and ability, pro
gress and leadership, the Taber-
nacle neighborhood possesses un-
usual advantages, with thorough
ly good school, where its girls and
boys may be trained mentally
morally and physically, it will
become "banner section" send
ing out many men and women to
be leaders in the worlds work
someone must lead--why not
these boys and girls9 1t depends
entirely on the parents---if the
way is opened, the children will
walk in it.

made if ! had ginned it into
square bales, besides saving a
great deal of annoyance with the
street buyers. In view of the fact
that the custom gInners and those
opposed to the Roundlap system
say that you do not let the farm
er have cotton seed | will say
that | have always gotten seed
when | asked for it"
Mr.. p. h. Hall, merchant and
planter of Waynesboro, Ga, wrote
Nov. 10, 1899, to Messrs Wilkins
& Jones, owners of the Roundlap
plant of that place: IL had one
lot OF 20 bales turned out by you,
and without saying anything to
any body | put the samples on the
market. All of the buyers in town
bid upon same, thinking it square
bale cotton. One of the buyers
bid 81 cents, another 5.S74 cents,
tho latter Temarking at tho time
that he was really bidding a full
sixteenth more than the lot of cot
ton was worth. Without knowing
what bids / had received-in fact
[ did not tell you that any body
had bid upon it-you offered and
paid me $50 for the lot of cotton,
which was clear difference of 55
points In favor of the Roundlap
bale. believe that the Roundlap
bale Is the bale of the future, as
it effects large saving of waste,
and enables the planter to get a
higher price for his cotton"
Mr.. Abram Williams, Nov. 10,
1899, wrote Messrs. Wilkins q
Jones: "To day had two Round
lap bales of cotton packed on
your Roundlap bale press, for
which YOU paid me II cents per
nNSInd, when the same grade of
cotton in the square bale here to
day is only bringing Z to II cents
per pound"
Mr.. .J. s. Collins, Pike Road,
Ala. Nov. II, 1899, wrote: 81
have COTTON for my cotton $3.50
per bale more than | could have
gotten for it In square bales. !
believe that the Roundlap press
is the salvation of the farmers of
our county. 1t believe that 1t has
saved in our neighborhood of
eight or ten miles square $4,000
In the price of cotton, and 10000
pounds of lint cotton that would
have been lost in samdles, theft
and weigt, and $1,000 in ware
house charges, besides drayage
and railroad expenses"
The England Gin Co, which
operates Roundlap plant at
England, Ark, Dec. 13, 1899,
wrote: 1--WE are very much pleas
ed with the Roundlap bale press.
IL is recognized fact in this com
munity that we have made the
price of. cotton from ! to cents
higher than it would have been.
Only this last week when we
were out of the market abOut four
days seed cotton dropped from D
to 2 cents per pound"

southernsPines, N. G.

Southern Pines is located on the
highest known sand hill in the coun-
try. The sand is fragrant from pure
clear crystal quartz. 1t is not the
dusty sand that is usually found in
Florida and points South. On ac-
count of the purity of the sand, the
largest experiment farm in the U. s.
has been established at this point
The experiments being made, are
the testing of fertilizers, in regard to
showing the value of different fertil-
izing materials. The experiments
carried on in this line are much more
extensive than that Washington, by
the United States Government. Ag-
riculturalists from this country and
Europe are making trips to Southern
Pines studying different lines of ex-
periments that are being made. The
German Kali Works have contribut-
ed largely to the maintainance of the
experimental work. The great Sea-
board Air Line system of Railroad
that runs through the most prosper
Gus part of the South is largely inter-
ested in this line of experiments.
The Railroad is doing more for the
improvement of the condition of far
mersalong itsline than any other Rail-
road in the United States, and as a
result, farmers from all over the coun-
try, especially in the Northern States
are buying lands and locating on the
Seaboard Air Line system, and have
bought more than fifty thousand
acres in the vicinity of Southern
Pines. Special rates are given through
the Old Dominion Steamship Com
pany's line and thence over the s. A.
L., for parties coming to that terri
tory to prospect for settling. The
Seaboard Air Line has its Northern
headquarters at 371 Broadway New
York, Chef Industrial Agent of the
S. A. L. Mr.. John t. Patrick with
headquarters at Pinebulff, N. c.,
gives information to those desiring to
investigate.

The official announcement that the
British losses in South Africa in
the few months since the war began
have amounted to 1000 men shows
how absurd were the complaints and
attacks upon the administration with
reference to the losses of life in our
recent war. The spectacle of men
seeking to embarrass those who have
the administration of their govern
ment in a time of national war and
thus national peril, for the purpose of
making political capitalout of such
unjust charges, ought to render their
expressions and advice of little con-
sequence in the future.

The Democratic Detroit Free Press
remarks that the Democrats of the
country would display great tactical
ability and saving common sense il
they would accept the fact of the en-
tombment of free silver and fight the
battle of 1900 on live issues. The
estimable Free Press evidently for
gets that Bryan and silver are one
and inseparable, and the conceded
candidate, even if he would, does not
dare to desert the 16-to-1 issue, dead
and worthless as he realizes it to be.
