AGRICULTURE IN THE SCHOOLS.
supt Joyner Informs County superintendent
Of Selection Of Book.

State Superintendent of Public Instruc-
ton j. Y Joyner yesterday sent out the
following letter to the various county and
city school superintendent:
In view of the facts that eighty-five
per cent. of the people of our State live
by farming, and in view of the further fact
that large per cent. of our farm tillers
get their only education in the public
schools, the Legislature of North Carolina
has ordered that the Elements of Agrlcul-
ture shall be taught in all the schools OF
the commonwealth.
"All modern arts and trades are bene-
fitting by the discoveries and adaptations
of science. Farmers should share in these
benefits. 1t has been fully demonstrated
that children can be taught the funda-
mental principles of good cultivation OF
the soil just as they can be taughtsthe
fundamental principles of arithmetic and
grammar Indeed if our farmers are to
hold their own in the sharp competition
of modern life, our future farmers must
learn these principles and their appllca-
ton.
1.-The State Board of Education has
adopted a simple, and beautifully illus
trated book as a text for this subject
a book that any capable teacher can teach
by following the methods suggested in the
book This book is called Agriculture
For Beginners and is published by CHM
& Company. 1t will be ON sale at all
State repositories.
Section 16 of the Text Book Law re-
quires all books adopted by the Text Book
Commission to be introduced and used as
text books to the exclusion of all others
in all the public free schools of the State.
nj conformity, therefore, to the law Of the
State you are instructed to see that every
teacher in the schools, white and .colored,
under your supervision, adds this sub
ject to, the regular course of instruction.
II suggest that all pupils in each school,
who are over fourteen years old and such
others as are sufficiently advanced, be ar
arnged into one class for this work.
The book mentioned is by Prof c.. w.
Burkett, F. L. Stevens, and D. H. Hill,
of the A. and M. College.

Patrons.
Write for our prices,

The Raleigh Hosiery Mills have been
losing socks lately and it is said that a
recent inventory showed that some hun
dreds OF pairs had been stolen or made
away with.
Two boys, Isaac and Irwin Taylor were
yesterday arrested and tried on the charge
of larceny of socks from the MILL and as
a result Isaac was discharged, but Irwin
had to give bond for $40 to appear in

heard the case.
The evidence was that the, boys were
seen to come from the mill and enter an
open box car on the siding near the midi.
The fireman of the company noticed them
and his suspicion was aroused by their
actions, and an investigation by different
employees of the mill developed the case.
The car was examined and two pack
ages of socks were found in the car. The
superintendent at once gave orders thai
the car be watched all during the day. As
a result the boys, when they went back
to the car, were searched and one pair
of socks was found under Twins coat
Col. j. C. l.. Harris and Charles U. Har-
ris appeared for the defendant, while Judge
T. B. Womack appeared for the plaintiff.

HER HEART LIGHTER
Mrs. Hoag is Promised All
Possible Aid.
The Widow Sees Mrs. T. W. Dewey and
Leaves For Godsboro With Bright Face
and Happy Heart.

Mrs. A. c. Hoag left Raleigh yesterday
feeling that her faith and hope in Mrs
T w. Dewey had not been misplaced.
1t will be remembered that it was with
a sad heart that this widow spoke on
Saturday here to News and Observer
reported. She had sold her home in New
Bern to her neighbor, t. w. Dewey, for
$4,000. 1t was her all and on it she had
received about $3.50.
The flight of the cashier, who had
given her his note, left her in sad
plight. She, was in Ohio with a sick
son, but she remembered that Mrs. Dewey
had also signed the note and she came to
her as last hope, feeling that it was
one that would not be in vain.
Sunday she spent In Raleigh and yes
terday morning drove out in the country
where Mrs, Dewey is staying with rela-
tlves. She saw Mrs. Dewey, her one
! time neighbor and the interview was one
that was highly satisfactory. Speaking
of this Mrs. Hoag said:
Mrs. Dewey greeted me warmly and
when we had talked over matters told
me that she would do everything in her
power to see that / was paid. She said
that she had given instructions that first
OF all l should be paid for my home,
and she added to this by saying that she
would do all in her power to have this
done She gave me letter to relative
IN Goldsboro, asking in this that / be
paid. She is a good, Christian woman,
and l have the deepest sympathy for
her. Her intentions towards me are the
| best in the world"
Mrs. Hoags face was bright and her
heart was lighter than on Saturday. She
! took the morning train yesterday for
Goldsboro and her every word Has of
her love and faith in Mrs. Dewey and of
deep regret for the trouble that had
come to Cashier Dewey, OF the New Bern

WON'T MIN

BAD Food. and Good Health Won't Mix
The human stomach stands much abuse
but it won't return good health If you
give it bad food.
If you feed right you will feel right
for proper food and good mind is the
sure road to health "a year ago be-
came much alarmed about my health
for began to suffer after each meal no
matter how little l ate,' says Denver
woman 81 lost my appetite and the
very thought of food grew dlstasteful,

this thought nearly drove me frantic
when 1 realized that my health was
breaking down.
II read an article in the paper about
some one with trouble just like mine be-

acting on this suggestion l gave Grape

GLENN IS UNDECIDED
The Forsyth Man May Con-
test for Governor.
He is Being Urged to Enter The Tightly Friends
Who Feel That He Has Splendid
ChaEc S to Succeed.

Will Hon. Robert B. Glenn be in the
race for the Governorship next year?
The answer to this depends on the man
you ask about it, but in case you care to
make a diagnosis you will say that he
will.
Friends of the popular gentleman from
Forsyth who talk of the matter, say,
"Why certainly he will be a candidate,
He's got every chance to win the noml-
nation, so why should he not run"
Friends of ''the other man." and there
are quite a number of this ''other man"
shake their heads when asked this ques-
ton and proceed to tell you how their
man is the man of all men for the place.
Mr.. Glenn was in Raleigh yesterday,
and the question was fired point blank at
him. ''Are you a candidate for Governor,
Mr. Glenn?'' is what the reporter asked
the affable gentleman.
The question did not faze Mr.. Glenn.
He had evidently heard it before. soft
and gentle smile spread itself over his
handsome, clean shaven face and he said
in reply: 81 have not decided yet. 1 may
or / may not, and that of course depends
Just as soon as l make up my mind l will
let you know"
The Winston papers have stated that
on or about September the first, Mr..
Glenn would announce his intentions III
the matter. 1t may be at that time, or
it may be sooner or perhaps later. At any
rate. Mr.. Glenn has not yet fully debated
the question in his own mind and it will
be some time before he lays his purpose in
the matter before the public.
Perhaps, in this connection the report
er's ideas in the matter may be of interest
He goes straight at the thing, and says
that in his opinion Hon. Robert B. Glenn
will be candidate before the next Dem
ocratic State Convention.
