most important actions taken by it and
one that will interest all members of fra

given were that it caused the local eff
GERS much trouble and it was used often
as a means to defraud. The Fraternal
Union of America has paid more than
500 accident claims to members and the
records show that more than one-half
have dropped their membership as soon as
they drew the indemnity. Another feature
was resolution increasing the rates after

members shows it to be in excellent con-
dition.

AN IMPORTANT FORWARD
MOVEMENT.

The trustees of the University OF
North Carolina at their meeting in Raj
eigh yesterday took an important step
forward when they determined to estab-
lish in Raleigh the University of North
Carolina College of Medicine. The Uni
versity already has at Chapel Hill the
best preparatory medical school in the
South. The full course. leading to a
diploma. cannot be given there, because
the population is small and there is no
hospital. For some time the University
authorities have had in contemplation the
establishment of a Medical College de-
partment in Raleigh that would supple
ment the work at Chapel Hill. The
course of instruction, leading TO diplo-
ma. will embrace the first two years in
Raleigh. 1t is a matter for State and
city graduation that the trustees have
seen their way clear to take steps that
will lead TO the establishment of this
important branch of the work of the
University in Raleigh this fall.
The election of DR.. Hubert Register as
Dean is guarantee of the success of the
new department. He is easily the ablest
man of his years in North Carolina, and
his professional ability, executive ca
pacity, enthusiasm and good judgment
combine the very qualities needed for
cine in the capital of North Carolina.
There is no more reason why medical
students should be forced to leave North
Carolina to complete their medical edu-
cation than that law students should be
forced to seek instruction in the North.
Indeed there is more reason why the
medical student should receive his edu-
cation in his own State. for here he will
see the treatment of diseases peculiar to
our climate as well as those that are
common to all sections OF the country.
Medical students who have obtained the
ground work at Chapel Hill will finish
in Raleigh. and will be as well prepared
as after graduation at the Oldest institu-
ton in this country or abroad. The
faculty embraces men of as great ability
as can be found in any Southern city.
The University of North Carolina Med
ical College at Raleigh will mean great
things for this city. il will be another
long step toward making it the education
al center of the State. Raleigh will
grow in manufactures and trade, but its
chief glory must be as an educational
centre and residence city The estab-
ishment of a Medical College here
means the enlargement and greater USE
fulness of Rex Hospital or new hospi-
tai All the city will be interested in
this, for the city's worst need is a mod
ern hospital building.
With the city of Raleigh giving an
earnest and enthusiastic support the
State giving its cooperation, and the
prestige and the University given to it,
the Medical College at Raleigh is GER
tain to be a success from the opening in

a GOOD RABBIT HUNTER.

The election of State Senator }. A.
Long, of Person, as President of tie
state Fair, has been widely approved.
In enumerating his strong points on the
morning after his selection, this paper
omitted one that will endear him to the
army Of nimrods, and particularly the
rabbit hunter of Chatham county. The
Roxboro Courier gives us this additional
information:
Hon. J a. Long and party went rabbit
hunting one day last week and brought
in sixty rabbits and twenty birds Rab-
bit hunting is Mr.. Longs specially, and
when he goes after them he generally
returns loaded-with rabbits
1t is to be hoped that Mr.. Long will
give more encouragement in the State
Fair to the rabbit industry. 1t is a
great source of revenue, particularly in
Chatham county, and a great source of
delight TO the palate, especially in Rail
eigh, and If Mr.. Long will offer prizes for
the best rabbit skin to wrap the baby
up in" he will score a success with all
lovers of the rabbit and all rabbit
hunters.

He CLOSED SCHOOL
Now Teacher Cannot Get His
Salary.
The County Superintendent Sustained by the
State Department Of In
SrUction.

A school case Of considerable import
ance in an exemplary way comes from
Pennsylvania county. 1t seems that a
teacher in one of the districts closed his
school for short period of time in order
to allow the pupils to pull fodder. When
he presented his voucher for salary from
the date of re-opening school, the Coun-
ty superintendent, w. e, Carmichael
refused 10 sign il. Then the matter was
brought TO the attention of the state Su-
perintendent's office here, and yesterday
the department, through its clSrk, Mr.
Duckett. responded to letter from MI.
Carmichael asking for advice, sustained
his action and advised him not to sign
the voucher.
The County Board Of TransylVania, as
is the case with the other county boards,
specifically orders that the school term
shall be continuous from its beginning
upon certain date. More than that, the
board has even ordered that schools be
not stopped for the pulling of fodder,
even though it be that the children are
a great help to their parents in this part
of the farm work.
The law on the subject says that the
school term shall be continuous as far as
practicable, leaving the discretion en-
tirely in the hands of the various county
boards.
1t is reported that the voucher has
been bought by attorneys, and it is
mere than probable there will be legal
fight en- the question, and it is just pos
sible the case may reach the Supreme
court.

men will do the work assigned to them
and if every business man in Raleigh will
do his duty, the Raleigh Tobacco market
will cause the spending of quarter Of
million of dollars in the city of Raleigh
during the next year which will be spent
elsewhere if the business and profe-
ssional men and property owners of
Raleigh do not provide the necessary
money FOR establishing 2 market in Raj

ing. The farmers in Wake county will
grow much tobacco this year. If Raleigh
shows the proper interest they will grow
enough to cause Raleigh to sell quar-
ter of million dollars worth this year
Let every man who wishes TO see Raj
eigh go forward hold up the hands of the
committee and literally invest in the up
building of Raleigh's tobacco market
Nothing can pay so well to the common
good of the city. 1t will increase the
