THEY LACK BRAIN POWER
SIR NORMAN LOCKYER GIVES GREAT BRITAIN WARNING
Says Nation Should Expend as Much Money Money for Universities as for Sea Power Schools Are Inefficient.

London-At meeting of the British Association for the Advancement of Science in the opera house, Sir Nor man Lockyer delivered his annual ad- dress, entitled, "The Influence of Brain Power on History" During the course of his remarks, the presi- dent dwelt at length on the struggle for existence in modern communities, showed that British industries were suffering from international competi- tion, dwelt on the necessity for a body such as the British Association, deal ing with the organization of science, and said: E.lh I.ttt. t "Our position as nation, our suc- cess as merchants are in peril chiefly l, dealing with preventable cases-be- cause of our lack of completely effic- tent universities and our neglect of research. We, ln Great Britian, have eleven universities competing with 134 state and privately endowed in Germany. The German state gives to one university more than the British government allows to all the univer- sities and university colleges in Eng land, Ireland, Scotland and Wales put together.
 "These are the, conditions wh1ch regulate the production of Efair power in the United States, Germany and Great Britian respectively and the excuse of the government is that this is a matter for private effort What is the scale of private effort w' have to compete with in regard to tho American universities? In the United States during the last few years, uni versailles and col eges have received more. than s4O,OOo, 900 from this sourc : alone.
 "When we consider the large endow ment of university education in tn United States and Germany, it is ob vious that state aid can only mak any valid competition possible wit either"
 President Lockyer compared tn vast sums spent by the British govern ment Con sea power" and the smal amount expended on "brain power, and advocated duplicating the nav

rapid strides towards prosperity than
have the five counties of the Northern

Where but a few years ago oaks stood
and pine trees crowded, cozy little homes
are now standing with beautiful fields of
corn and other crops growing on each
hand as far as the eye can see. There
are numbers of farms here, that would
sell for five times as much to-day as
they would have a few years back. In
deed some OF them are now renting for
more than the owners paid for them On
these farms, where but few years ago
stood pine bushes and broom straw are
now fine orchards and where gu!lies and

can see herds of fine stock grazing and

DISTINGUISHED MEN
ALMOST FORGOTTEN
North Carolinlans Who We're
Prominent Many Years
Ago.
(special to The Tlmes-Dispatch.)

HENDERSON,, N. c., July 1S.-There
are but few persons now living who are
aware that in an obscure, backWoods
settlement, near Halls Cross Roads. in
FRANKLIN county, this State on the wake
col>lty line, were born three distinguished
men, two Of whom were of national repu-
tation.
The eldest of the brothers was Captain
John Bell, United States navy, OF whom
the writer has no remembrance.
The second was Major William Bell,
United States army, who was in charge
OF the ST. Louis arsenal about 1870
When trouble began In 1861, when MIS-
souri, was invaded by border ruffians Of
Kansas and Iowa. Major Bell distributed
arms and ammunition to the Missourla1s
for their protection. This gave umbrase
to tho government at Washington, caus-
Ing him to resign and retire to private
life.
He died about 1866, while his youngest
brother, Admiral Henry Haywood Bell,
was absent in command OF the Aslatic
squadron. Major Bell was noted for his
piety, a rigid Methodist, and left con-
siderable estate.
Sometime between the forties and fifties
Lieutenant-C ommandant Bell commando
ed the San Jacinto on the coast of Africa,
remained absent three years and not
one Of the crew died during their absence.
In 1857 Captain Henry Haywood Bell
distinguished himself in capturing pratt
cal ports on the coast of China. and with
his own hand slew two pirates. In the
beginning of the war, 1861. while a South
ern born man. he conceived 1t his duty
to uphold the Stars and Stripes, there
fore was in active service during the war
and was promoted and placed In command
OF the Asiatic squadron In short time
after hostilities ceased. Remaining in the
Orient nearly two years. he was ordered
home.
In the spring of 1867 while returning to
his flagship from Yokohomo. his gig was
capsized on the bar, drowning the Ad-
miral and Lieutenant Reade. Their
bodies, however. were recovered, brought
home and the Admiral's was inferred at
Newburg. y. Y,
Admiral Bell was born about the year
1905 and married a lady of Richmond, Va.
