Dear Sir: You can afford the best,
and your business experience has
shown you that it is also the cheap

they'd save lot of money.
Devoe Lead and Zinc costs a little
more per gallon than mixed paints,

cheapest paint in the world.

We gather to honor our comrades departed
Whose deeds are a heritage noble and
grand
We love them because they were brave and
true-hearted
And gave up their lives for our own native
land.
We strew the green sod where their loved
forms are sleeping
With beautiful flowers all fragrant with
spring
To cheer the sad hearts of those friends who
are weeping
With symbols of life ont Of deoth that we
bring.
How fitting that we as a Nation remember
The Heroes who died that our Nation
might live!
And on this May day every patriot surrender
To God, Home and Country, true loyalty
give!
here taught US
And rise to the duties which they each
inspire,
Until in the light of that Love which has
bought us,
We glow with the life Of Loves purest
desire,
And go forth with vigor to glorify duty
And make life sublime both in word and in
deed
BY clothing ourselves with Loves radiant
beauty
In helping mankind with practical creed.
And here by our dead, with renewed conse-
Grafton
We pledge all our powers our Nation to
save
From foes who are seeking in close combi-
nation
To undo the work Of our comrades so brave.
Wen watch with the eye Of an Eagle the
foeman
Who plots the destruction of Nation or
State
And + ally from hilltop and plain every voc
man
To mete out to each one the vile traitors
fate.
Our Nation united, forever protected
BY God, who has made us the LAND of the
free"
Shall lift up mankind til.his faults are cor
rected
And we become perfect in true liberty
The leader of Nations, in virtuous action
A government perfect in justice and truth
Despising all fraud, all corruption and fac

Our people, progressive, eternal in youth

OUR DEAD HEROES.
BY j. G. ROBINSON.

a bugle note sounds from the heart of our
Nation
call to the patriots, whose brothers have
died
Defending our flag from a sad degradation,
To honor their deeds with tribute of pride.
How silently here are our comrades now
sleeping
Awaiting the call of the great reveille!
What glory awaits those in Heavens full
reaping
Who follow the leader of true liberty!
What bugle can sound the true high note of
glory
That swells from the soul who is crowned
by the Lord
Whose smile of approval illumines life's story
And make it sublime in the light of His
word.
They stand on the mountain of true exulta-
ton
Who take for their model Christ Jesus the
Lord,
And fight for the right Of the humble in
station
To equal Inheritance in His own word.

CAPTURE OF CEPHAS MOORE
Caught at MyersdaIe Monday by Chief of
Police Perry Stump.

Hoilce feffy stump
Cephas Moore, of Barton, who on
May 18th, 1902, shot and killed Thorn
as Gardner, a miner, aged 40 years,
and shot and attempted to kill Louis
Meyer, another miner, was captured
Monday afternoon at Meyersdale, Pa,
by Chief of Police Perry Stump, of
that place. Chief Stump was former
ly bailiff at Homecoming and was well
acquainted with Moore. Monday he
saw Moore standing on a street corner
and after placing him under arrest
questioned him concerning his where
abouts since the shooting. Moore
stated that he had spent the greater
part of the time in Pennsylvania, in
the vicinity of Myersdale, and that
he had not gone west, as stated sew
eral times in the newspapers. Chief
Stump at once notified Sheriff Bar
nard, of Allegany county, of the ar
rest, but stated that Moore refused to
go to Cumberland without requi-
sition. Moore prior to the shooting
had lived the life of hermit in hut
on the mountainside, near Barton.
He has always been considered de-
mented and an act of his some twenty
years ago caused him to be nicknamed
Matches" On the morning of the
murder as he passed the mouth of
the Potomac mine, some one address,
ed him by the nickname. He became
wild with anger and procuring his
Winchester from his hut, proceeded
to the mine, where he lay in wait for
his prey. AS Gardner, Meyer and
another miner approached, Moore
fired, wounding Meyer in the arm.
Gardner rushed to Meyers rescue
and received bullet in his side, kill
ing him instantly. The third shot
fired by Moore grazed the other mi
ner's breast.
After the shooting and as if fully
conscious of the awful character of his
act, Moore hurried to his home and
there procured all the cartridges he
had, said by his brother, Henry
Moore, to be fully one thousand in
number, and set forth for the noun
tain, meanwhile expressing the threat
that he would kill all who attempted
his arrest. Sheriff Barnard and his
deputy, w. ID. Aaron, upon being
notified of what had TRANSFERRED, hur-
ried to the scene of the crime The
sh eriff. at the head of a posse, spent
the entire afternoon in search of the
murderer, but no trace of him could
be found. Realizing the desperate
character of the fugitive, it was re-
solved to proceed with the utmost
caution, the members of the posse
being ready for an assault. Moore is
IS years of age.
Besides his Winchester and KNAPP
sack full of cartridges Moore took
with him two revolvers and knife.
His lonely hut in the mountain ravine
has long been looked upon as a min
iature arsenal. On the door he had
this notice, Il have nothing to sell
and no money to buy. Stay out"
A brother of Moore lived in similar
way and was found in his hut some
years ago after he had been dead a
week. The entire family have been
noted for their skill as marksmen.
One hundred dollars reward was
offered for Moores capture by the AL
lega ny county commissioners, and this
was afterwards raised to $500.

President Patton on College Training.

The majority of those who read this article will
probably go into business and would like to know,
perhaps, if the writer thinks that a college educa-
1tion would be of advantage to them from a bust
ness point of view. That will depend upon the
way in which they employ their time while they
are in college. If they make good use of their
opportunities, there is no doubt that their four
years in college will be very valuable to them. The
high places in the commercial world call for
trained intellects, and the man who is capable of
deep and clear thinking, and who, moreover, has
acquired the art of apt and elegant expression,
has a great advantage in the business world over
the man who lacks mental discipline.
But if a man goes to college for the sake of
comradeship and social pleasure, and without an
intellectual purpose that will help him to over
come the temptations to>idleness which are sure
to beset him, he would do far better for himself
by spending the four years allotted to a college
curriculum in acquiring the commercial virtues
of prOmptness, accuracy and obedience, and by
the stern discipline of a business education

ton University, in Youths Companion.

The Mulatto and the Negro Problem.

Probably nothing has contributed more toward
the persistence of our effort at creating an artl-
fetal being from the negro than the absolute elm
nation Of the mulatto equation from all our con-
siderations of the subject. < < < When we
recognize the very simple and very patent fact
that the ~intermixture of white and black races
has given us a hybrid that is neither the one nor
the other; when we get far enough along to sep
arate this type from the negro Masses, in our
efforts at determining what may be best for the
latter; when the South is willing to lay at the
white mans door many of the failings of this mu-
latto type, and much of the meanness which he
too frequently exhibits, and Northern opinion is
sufficiently candid and honest to no longer persist
in a~scribing all his virtues and accomplishments
to the negro, I think we shall have made a dis
tinct gain in race-problem discussion.-Allen IL.
Stone, in the Atlantic Monthly.

BOOK NOTICE.


MORE MONEY FOR THE PUBLIC
SCHOOLS. By Charles w. Eliot. 1913 pages.
Cloth. $1.0O. Doubleday, Page & Co., Pub
fishers.
Ihs little book comprises three addresses by
President Eliot, of Harvard University, that
attracted considerable attention at the time of
their delivery last year. In the first, DIR. Eliot
calls for a larger expenditure for schools because
ue public school system is as yet inadequate and
imperfect, and has not brought about the benef-
cent results that were expected of it. In the sec
oo he points out the substantial gains which the
american schools and colleges have made during
the past thirty years"-gains made at heavy cost,
D"' winch have been approved by the people and
should encourage yet larger expenditures. In the
'mrd he discusses the needs of the schools-the
YOJectS tor which increased expenditures should
u made. In other words, he contends Cd that
We need more money for schools because they are
Imperfect, % that the demand for more money
. JuStlhed because past efforts toward improve
ment have been worth their cost, and CD he shows
!" |hat ways the more money that he asks for
'OT,o he advantageously spent.
~ hlIot begins with some of those cOmpara-
o ~ >'lool statistics so distasteful to North Car
bn uI'"IN-statlng In the very outset, for example,
Nv '' average annual expenditure per pupil

NS ana not DIR. Eliot to blame for this,
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1903-06-30

By an oversight the following note was omitted
from the last number of The Progressive Farmer:
1--WE greatly regret to hear that Greensboro Fe-
male College, with an honorable record for splen-
did training of more than two generations of
young women, has now closed it's long career of
usefulness. The directors met last week and de-
cided that the financial loss incurred in keeping
the institution open is so great as to make it's sus-
pension imperative"
Since this was written, however, the leaders of
North Carolina Methodism have spoken so earn
etly of Il plan to put the college under the control
Of the two Conferences in this State that we are
inclined to hope that, instead of a suspension, the
institution will be r~eopened with brighter pros
poets and a better basis of support than ever be-
fore. Neither the State nor the Methodist denom-
nation can afford the loss of Greensboro Female
College.

Getting On and Getting Up.

There are those who get up but who do not get
ON. The world says of them that they have failed.
Put have they?/ 1t depends upon ones definition
of failure. Misfortunes have beaB upon them, but
they have not grown bitter, temptations to aban-
don principles and get rich dishonorably have
come to them, but they have chosen poverty to a
furnished name. Is that failure? It is success!
They may have lost the whole world, but they
have gained their souls.
Young men need to be reminded that there are
worse things than a small income. Those who
are rcor in purse may be rich in faith, rich in
character, rich in hope. A clerk need not be less
than a man. He has but to choose. The man who
has no money is poor, but the man who has moth
inc but money is a pauper.-Christendom.

That was an impressive argument for public
o5ucation made by old Thomas Carlyle in our
"Tbought for the Week" two weeks ago. We
believe our readers will pardon us for reprinting
the latter half of it:
"AIas, while the Body stands so broad and
brawny, must the Soul lie blinded, dwarfed, stupe-
fed, almost annihilated! Alas, was this too, a
Breath of God; bestowed in Heaven, but on earth
never to be unfolded!-That there should one
Man die ignorant who had capacity for Knowl-
edge. this 1 call a tragedy, were it to happen more
than twenty times in a minute, as by some COM
~putationS it does"
Nearly three score years and ten have passed
since these words were uttered, but our educa-
tionaI orators will not find the sentiment more
effectively set forth in any three-sentence para
graph of a living writer.
