The Georgia papers speak in terms OF
high praise Of the Summer School
just closed at Athens and gives the
credit for its success to Prof Frank M
Harper. The people of Raleigh anG
North Carolina are gratified to know
the estimation in which Prof Harper
is held in his adopted home. The
Athens Banner says:
1.-The Summer school having ended

the work done during the session was

cases the rule regarding attendance
on the encampments works a hard
ship. For instance, there is one Raj
eigh merchant who loses for ten days
the services of four of his best clerks
and in many instances employers have
been put to considerable Inconvenience
through losing the services of specially
valuable men. The men themselves
are also in. some instances seriously in
conVenienced. There are several in
stances in which the trip works hard
ship to Raleigh young men who Will
lose money that they badly need by
going into camp. The pre-
vailing view of these men is, how
ever, that as they enlisted with full
knowledge of the duties that would
be required of them, they should not
now be heard to "kick." Several of
the members, however, are reported to
have said that as soon as their terms
of enlistment expire they will resign
from their companies to which they
belong, the reason given being that
they cannot afford to be called off
from their business arbitrarily
If the law as to Imprisonment
should be enforced against any recall
citrant member and he should seek
to contest the legality Of the punish
ment imposed, there would result
some very interesting legal battles
| While there. is of course no method
| through which the State or the Nation
could be. sued for damages, the mat
ter could be tested through habeas
corpus proceedings, and one promi-
Inent Raleigh lawyer is ON record rs
having given what is known as g
"horse-back opinion" that the penalty
of Imprisonment could not be en-
| forced.
In the meantime the members of the
military companies are enjoying them
selves in a summer holiday by the
sea, which has in it the saving spice
lof a little hard work; and such en-
ployers as are disgruntled are grinnine
and taking the matter philoAphically
II is highly improbable that the ranks
of the military will in any event
continue to be filed to the limit with
good men, and the larger view in both
military and business circles " that
the new regulations will make for a
vastly more efficient and improved or

ARE REAL SOLDIERS
Guardsmen Must Live Up
TO Enlistment Despite
Employers Desire.

The departure of the States soldiers
for the Morehead encampment has
raised a question in many minds as
TO the always delicate relations, first
between State ana National authority
and, second, as to the individual free
dom of the citizen.
The first question has been settled
definitely by the Dick bill passed by
Congress and by the concurrent Iegis-
lation of the State under which an
enlistment in the National Guard
comes almost to have the same bind
ing force as an engagement to fight
the battles of the Republic during
Time of War.
Under the provisions of the Ma
tional and State laws. the effect of
the existing legislation as regards
militiamen is, broadly stated, as fol-
lows:
That every man who is enlisted OF
commissioned in the National Guard
is bound by the terms of his contract
with the government TO attend al
drills of his company and to go with
the same in all encampments which
may be determined upon by the State
or Federal authorities, as we'll, OF
course, as to attend upon any special
call for military service.
If the enlisted soldier refuses or
neglects to attend to his duties as pre-
scribed in the military legislation of
the State and Nation, he becomes sub
iect TO d company fine and to impris-
onment at the discretion of a court
martial.
And. under the Dick bill, any en-
ployer of labor who shall refuse to per-
NIT one of his employees to attend on
any military duty becomes liable to
fine of 1000 and if he discharge
any employee for attendance on such
duty becomes liable in damages to the
extent of years salary.
While these provisions of the law
have been in force for several years,
their effect has not been appreciate
here until this years encampement
came about. Both of Raleigh's COM
panies were of course anxious to make
creditable show and their COM
manders were therefore 10th to excuse
any member for attendance except
upon the best possible excuse. The
plea that employers needed their men,
except when special conditions We're
shown, were disregarded and in several
instances where employers We're in
clined to be /"ugly'' they were con-
fronted with the stringent provisions
of the Dick bill and the statutes passed
by the last General Assembly. SO that
in Raleigh there remain are none of
the military who are not in attendance
at Morehead save the few who were
sick or absent from the city or eX-
cused for special reasons by the cap
tains of the two companies.
While some dissatisfaction was eX-
pressed by certain men who belonged
to the companies. the general idea has
seemed to be that the stringent regu-
lationS make for q better and more
practicable and serviceable organiza-
ton.
1t has been suggested in some quar-
ters that the present laws may oper-
ate to the injury of the military ser
vice in that employers may come in
time to discriminate against and re-
fuse TO employ men who are MEM
bers of the military organizations.
There is no doubt but that in certain

EXACT SITE SELECTED.
New Agricultural Building Will Face
HiIlSbOro Road.

The new agricultural building to be
erected at the A. & NJ College will be
located two hundred and forty feet
from the HillsbOrO road, at the top OF
the hill leading to the State Fail
grounds 1t will face north towards
the road and the approach will be
graded down to a point only four feet
above the roads level which will elm
mate the unsightly banks of red mud
which now enclose the thoroughfare.
The site was definitely determined
upon by the authorities yesterday and
the work fully mapped out for the
contractor who will start the work OF
construction with the excavation for
the basement rooms tomorrow.
The building, which, according to
the plans, will be a beautiful and sub
stantial structure, will add Immensely
to the attractiVeness of the suburbs in
the western part of the city. The long
and gradual grade down to the road
will make in time a splendid lawn
and when the intervening space be-
tween the present buildings of the col
lege and the new department is beau
titled according to plan, the grounds
will be among the most beautiful OF
any educational institution in the
South
AS stated heretofore, the site for the
building was selected by a landscape
gardner of national reputation, who
went thoroughly over all the large
real estate holdings of the college and
mapped out complete plans for a de-
velopment of fifty years of college
growth.
