MORE ABOUT THE REFoRMAToRY.

Cor. of The Progressive Farmer.
[ a not help thinking that Mr..
Andrews of Orange County, has a mis-
taken idea of the proposed Reforma-
tory for boys. If the Reformatory is
built and the officers elected from
among the best citizens, the boys will
not be prepared to do devilment of any
kind, but to do good, honest work, and
to be good, honest citizens.
Taxes may be hard to pay, but is it
not better to pay a tax for the better
ment of citizenship than to pay taxes
to support long terms of criminal
courts, and to support in jail houses,
poor houses and lunatic asylums, the
victims of mad passion and evil di-
seases that ensUe from vicious habits T?
If the Reformatory is built in the
country with a good farm attached,
there will be plenty of hot sunshine to
make them sweat out some of their
badness.
Not a single home will be robbed of
all the life of boys and girls. a
home that is worthy of the name will
not furnish loafng boys. It's boys
will not need any Reformatory to con-
vert them into good citizens. Boys
who need a Reformatory are those who
lack the right kind of home training,
and the Reformatory is intended to
supply what was lacking in the home
training, the time-honored whip-not
only time-honOred, but Bible-honOred.

CAPT. ALTON ON THE REFORMATORY.
Burke County Nay Take the Lead in This
Matter.

SOIs VI II AAOSAOSOA'N
Let me thank you for the editorial
of June 3rd, on the need of a Reform
atory for young criminals. 1t surely
meets all the directors, and is calcu-
lated to convince every one. If you
have any extra copies, and will send
me a few, they shall be distributed
around this county, in hopes that each
may have the same effect, as the n
you sent me, to-wit, get you a new
subscriber.
The obtaining a State Reformatory
for the young criminals (Which you
correctly say, are sure to be with us),
it has long been my hearts wish to see
accomplished. Nevertheless, the old
time conservatism of North Carolina,
which is sometimes held as a %repr0ach
by those who do not know her, is to me
one of her chief and most charming
characteristics. The accomplishment
of the first without doing violence to
the second, is the problem now before
us. In this county we hope soon 80
take a step towards it's solution, by es
tablishing, in connection with u
County Home, which is to be rebuilt
upon a good farm bought for that pur-
pose, a reformatOry prison to which
the children of this county who violate
the laws may be sent, under an In 1e-
terminate sentence, and kept SO long
as they are ~unreformed, without an
noyance or expense to the law abiding
portion of people. We hope TO
procure from the next Legislature al
act authorizing such an effort. The
manifest advantage will be that by be-
ginning in a small way, we can with
less cost correct our mistakes, as expo
ricnce develops them, and then when
successful can point to this Institution
as an object lesson, which perchance
the State may enlarge, improve, and
adopt.
1t seems to me that a good plan
would be to get from our next General
Assembly, not a special act for this
county, but a general one leaving it to
the discretion of the county commits
sioners of each county to determine
whether or not they will apply it to
their county. In a very large major
ity of the counties it would not and
need not be adopted, but it would prob
ably be used in a few of the larger
ones, such as Buncombe, Mecklenburg,
Wake, New Hanover and some others,
in which the problem, what shall be
done with our young criminals" is
more urgently pressing. If these few
should adopt it, their representatives
a few years hence could get together,
compare notes from their experiences,
and support the enactment of an act
for the State at-large, purged from all
the rrors each county may have made,
and strengthening the good points
they have developed.

stairways on either side and the large

Nippur:
Il am kept very busy ard wonder
that the time passes Sc rapidly in this
place where we are so much alone.
The finds of today were clay image,
or idol; forty-eight sound tablets; one
fine and one coarse seal; one perfor-
ated prism kitchen unearthed by
Hazam and photographed, and eigh-
teen graves opened. The kitchen is
built of brick twenty inches square;
the floor and portion of the walls are
intact. The frepot made of bricks is
perfectly good and shows the marks
OF fire.
Almost every day new tables were
discovered, and as these are the books
of ancient Babylonia they are con-
sidered of the highest value From
them may be learned much of the
business and the social life of ancient
times. Here are contracts between
bankers and farmers for loans, mar
riage contracts, and the documents of
the entire life of highly civilized
w ci-
or more ago.
1t was not until the campaign was
almost a year old, after more than
one narrow escape from the treacher-
Gus attacks of neighboring tribes of
Arabs, that the triumph of the cam
paign and for that matter of the entire
excavation of Nippur was reached by
the discovery of the now famous
library. Almost an entire month was
required for the removal and packing
OF the tablets, which had to be taken
out of the ground one by one with the
greatest care, so as to avoid all dan
ger of injury. At the end of that time
there were 100 cases of tablets, the
richest archaeological treasure ever
found in any one place at one time,
ready to be shipped to the emperial
museum at Constantinople to which
everything must by law be sent. 1t
was most unfortunate that the archae-
ologist of the expedition, Dr. Hi1precht,
one OF the most expert decipherers of
ancient Assyrian alive, had been de-
layed in MarSei1leS and did NOT arrive
until month after the last tablet had
been packed away, so that we do not
yet know the character of the tablets.
The arrival of DR.. Hilprecht was al
NEST the signal for closing the cam
paign, which lasted a few weeks
longer, and then came the preparations
for the return homeward.

| That a woman should take her life
| barous Arabs of Assyria to take part
| in the work of excavating ancient
ruins is unique. This has been done by
an American woman, Mrs. John H.
/ Haynes, who accompanied her hus-
| band in the latest expedition sent out
by the University of Pennsylvania to
continue the excavations begun by him
in conjunction with DIR. Hilprecht at
Nippur some years ago.
1t was during the last campaign, in
which DR.. Haynes was accompanied
and assisted by his wife, that the now
famous library of $4,000 clay tablets
was discovered. When deciphered
| these cannot fail to shed a flood of
light upon the life led by men and
women in one of Assyria's greatest
cities 1000 years before Christ.
Upon their arrival at Bagdad the
clay houses occupied by DR.. Haynes
on his previous stay there were I'M
sealed and found in tolerably good
condition, but further improvements
were necessary, for there the doctor
and Mrs. Haynes were to dwell for
more than a year. The walls were
thick, to protect the Americans from
the extreme heat of the summer, and
yet the degree of comfort attainable
was only limited even after all repairs
had been made.
Mrs. Haynes had to fight her chief
battle with public opinion. Her hus-
band was popular with his workmen,
but it was a novel enterprise to bring
civilized woman among them. Her
reception was chilly, and had It not
been for the friendlyness of the sheikh
of the district, Hail Tarfa by name, the
outcome might have been disastrous.
Knowing how much depended upon
him, all preparations were made for
receiving him with due ceremony. A
sheep was sacrificed, and tent
pitched for the reception of the sheikh,
who would not enter the house, as it
was considered harem on account of
Mrs. Haynes living in it.
Mrs. Haynes became popular with
the workmen and the natives round
about, and many of the women came
to her to be treated for sore eyes and
other Affections. A child who had
fallen into a fire and been badly
burned about the legs was one of her
first patients, and the skill with which
she cured it's wounds did much to
establish her in the good graces of the
multitude.
After her popularity seemed estab-
lished, when no danger to her person
appeared probable, she took her share
of the direction of the excavation
which was going on simultaneously in
various parts of the huge mounds of
Nippur. Ultimately the workmen in
her division became so much attached
to her that at nightfall, when the work
was done, they bore her to the house
upon their shoulders. The finest flow
ers and fruits and various curiosities
were brought to her by the Arabs,
especially by the children, whose de-
votion to "the Beg's harem," as she
was called, was remarkable.
The wall of the city was traced for
4S2 feet, and the gateway with the

SUMMER HANGINGS.

The newest draperies for the sum-

their graceful forms and lovely color

establishment of the surfaces of these
fabrics for the draping of summer

OF the imported draperies, particularly
the period of the Pompadour. who
reigns in the realm of fashion this

an echo from the days when she ruled
the France of Louis XIV. But the era
