SCHOOL RECEIVES GIFTS
CHARTERED OAK DESK, CHAIR
AND BOOKCASE INSTALLED IN
OFFICE OF HOLMES SCHOOL.

Holmes school has been the recipient
of many gifts in the past three weeks.
The latest Of these was presented Mon
day, in the office of the principal, Miss
Elizabeth Williams, and consisted Of q
handsome large desk, bookcase and
chair, all of quartered oak. The desk
is very large, fat-topped, and is equip
ped with all conveniences, and the
chair which matches it, is upholstered in
black leather. The bookcase is built
in the convenient sectional style with
sliding doors and tho it has ornamented
the office less than week, it is almost
filled with the new books which came
to the school this year. Paul Ware of
the Eighth grade presented the memo
rial most happily in behalf of the mem
bers Of the present graduating class and
the class which was graduated in Janu-
airy. A handsome inkwell was given to
Miss Williams as personal gift OF the
class.
A portrait of Oliver Wendell Holmes
handsomely framed, was the gift of the
ladies of the O. P. Morton Relief corps,
Friday before Memorial day. DR.. Jor-
dan attended the presentation and made
which was distinctively Holmes pro-
gram. Clarence Whipple of the seventh
grade accepted it very gracefully on the
part Of the school. It now hangs in the
principals office.
The preceding week Mrs. Lewis pre-
sented the school with a flag from the
Chase relief corps, which Paul Ware &C
cepted.

SOCIAL AFFAIRS

graduates from the East high school.
Owing to the storm, the party did not
reach the lake until Saturday evening,

evening there were games and music.
The baccalaureate address Sunday

a banquet at the home of their retir-

the circle this year, increased its mem
bership to forty, and is forced to give
up the active work on account of her

for the circle for next year.
The storm forced Mrs. Kinmore to
relinquishs her plan Of seating her
guests on the lawn, but the veranda,
brilliant with electric lights, made a
good substitute. Seven small tables
were arranged there, each seating six
members Of the circle. A large bou-
quet of either snowballs, bridal wreath
or bleeding hearts occupied the center
! of each table. The colors of the circle,
red and white, in bunting, were used
to decorate the veranda and rooms.
Last week Wednesday division of
the circle gave reception in the par
llors Of the church for division 2, and

were shaded in red crepe paper and red,
combined with white, were the dominat-
ing tones in the decorations. Rugs and
easy chairs, ,divans and cushions assis-
ted in giving the rooms an air of com.
fort and ease. Light refreshments were
served later in the evening.
Girls who gave recitations during the
program were Misses Cecil Harr, Hazel

CURRENT EVENTS: THE DRIFT OF THINGS
As WE SEE 1T.

There is a dearth of news just at this writing.
Mr.. Thomas w. Lawson is taking a breathing spell
between eruptions. Nan Patterson, the scarlet
woman, does not now figure conspicuously in the
New York dispatches. Mrs. Chadwick can no
longer swap worthless paper for millions in cash
as she did-and so extensively as to justify the
joke on Alexander the Great. Alexander. so the
story goes, signing for other worlds to conquer,
suddenly frightened up. "Well, it would be no
use" he said, Mrs. Chadwick would get them
anyhow" And he gave his grip to the porter,
and boarded the train for Macedonia. Even the
picturesque personality of President Roosevelt
has failed of interest for once. But North Caro-
linians are interested in the story of Brodie Duke,
the least ambitious of the tobacco magnate family,
who woke up or sobered up the other day to find
himself married to a sort of Mrs. Chadwick
something worse than seeing imaginary snakes.
There is an interesting fight on to annul the mar
riage.

The North Carolina Legislature.

The Legislature has not yet done any work of
real Importance. Last week preparations for the
Inauguration ceremonies took up most of the
time. In the Senate Mr.. W. d. Turner surrender
ed the gravel to the new OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES,
Francis D. Winston. Mr.. Turner perhaps made a
finer reputation i'm his office than any other occu-
pant has ever done. The impeachment court gave
him an opportunity to prove himself, and ne was
not found wanting. 1t is generally charged that
the Legislature is maintaining an expensive sys-
tenn of enrolling bills and an unreasonably heavy
payroll i'm order to provide places for some OF the
faithful. A bill to repeal the State anti-jug law
has been introduced and will probably pass; the
law will then apply only to those counties that
wish to be included. The indefensible action OF
the last Legislature in Incorporating Shore and
Williams for the manufacture of liquor IS likely
to be undone by the present body-certainly II the
demands of the Temperance Convention this week
are respected. Against our wide-open divorce law
there is now general Indignation, and a reform IS
certain to be made. There are also better pros
meets now than ever before for establishing a re-
formatory for young criminals. The bill to in

And as there is a lull Nationally, so there is a
lull in foreign developments. In Russo-Japanese
affairs, a calm has followed the storm at Port
Arthur, and there are likely to be no more import
ant battles until milder weather let's loose the dogs
of war about Mukden. There about three-quarters
of - asiGiUn hunan beings have been gathered to-
gether to kill and MAIN one another-here nine
ten centuries after the Prince of Peace. But it
is at least true that now only matters of vital I'M
portance lead nations to war with one another.
It is no longer a mere pastime of kings. A prime
minister can no longer bring on a war to divert
his sovereign's attention from the prime minis
ter's blunders. Every year important disputes that
would formerly have threatened war. are settled
by arbitration, and the number of arbitration
treaties is rapidly increasing.
But we are getting away from the Japanese and
Russians-and just here something more should
be said of the fall of Port Arthur. There Is
nothing more pathetic than StoessePs official
report of its surrender: "Great sovereign, pardon
usl We have done everything humanity possible.
Judpe us. but be merciful. Only one-quarter OF
the garrison is alive, and of this number the ma
iority are sick and, being obliged to act on the
defensive, without even short intervals OF repose'
are worn to shadows"
And vet it is said that Russian military laws

nine months struggle with death, disease, and
famine, must be court martlaled because ne coulu

loses force because he is not alone In his SHINING.
President Roosevelt is persistent in his demands
for enlarging the powers of the Interstate Com
merce Commission and for prohibiting rebates,
and In this he has the support of a larger proper
ton of Democrats than of Republican leaders:
Senator Carmack is quoted as saying that the
President may find himself pushed out of his party
If he continues his present course. Certainly he
seems bent on accomplishing the reform he has
espoused, and it is semi-offcially announced that

Fifty-ninth Congress will be called by the Presi-
dent to deal with that problem"

The Progressive Farmer never tries to make
news where there is no news. And the truth IS
that there is as yet very little to tell about Con-
gress or our State Legislatures. All have merely
put the wheels well into motion after the holiday
recess. At Washington the impeachment of Judge
Swayne is attracting more attention than any
thing else. 1t appears that it is a common prac-
tice for Federal judges to collect the maximum OF

Governor Glenn's Inaugural Address.
Hon. Robert B. Glenn was last Wednesday in
augurated Governor of North Carolina and out
lined his views on matters of state in a brief adj
dress. Discussing first the need of advertising our
resources and bringing in immigrants and outside
capital, the new Governor concluded by outlining
the States relations to labor and capital as fol-
lows: "No harsh restrictions should be placed
on either; capital must, however, be content to
live and let live, and form no monopoly or COM
bination to crush or destroy the weak, for this
will not be tolerated; while labor, though en-
couraged to form associations for their own pro-
lection and advancement, must not in any way
interfere with those who desire to work, but do
not belong to its orders"
For good roads, Governor Glenn declares
strongly. can up-to-date road law should be en-
acted" he says, "and every county or township,
that desires it, should be given a chance to i'm
prove their highways by bond issue or other mode
of taxation"
The principle of the Watts Law is heartily en-
dorsed. If it needs amendment to make it more
effective, and less discriminating let it be done;
but the cause of good morals should not allow the
sale or manufacture of liquor anywhere in the
State unless municipal protection or something
equal thereto, is guaranteed. For far above the
right which any man has to sell liquor as a bust
ness, there stands the sacred duty of the State to
guard and protect its men, women and children,
and it's schools and churches"
The repeal of all divorce laws except that in the
A reformatory for young criminals is discussed
in the address, but the plan is not endorsed.
Great caution in granting pardons is promised.
The recommendation is made that the Legislature
provide for conditional pardons.
Against l%ynching the new Governor, like his
predecessor, squarely sets his face; and it is graft
flying to see that as a remedy for mob law, he
urges speedier trials of all criminal cases.
One unique recommendation which we hope the
Legislature will adopt is that the Governor be re-
quired to visit the several State institutions be-
ing by personal investigation, of their merits and
needs.
The New Governors Educational Policy.
It was on educational affairs, however. that the
new Governors address was expected to be most
sensational, but he was more conservative here
than would have been expected six months ago.
"Iliteracy, twin sister to vice" he says, lis the
greatest curse to a people, and in itself is often
the source of evil, while education is power and
shows itself in developing our resources and in
creasing our industries, as we'll as in expanding

President Roosevelt On Tariff Reform.

mand for some revision of the tariff. Of this mat
ter the Washington correspondent of The Pro
gressive Farmer, under date of January 18th,
writes as follows:
"The conference of the President with the lead
ers of his party, with the resultant decision in
favor of taking steps to revise the tariff. has been
the sensation of the week in Washington. The
spectre of an extra session has again arisen, and
it seems that Congress will have only the cold
comfort of choosing whether it shall be in the
spring or in the fall. One remarkable feature of
the conference was the ease with which the Presi-
dent won over the opponents to tariff revision
Some of the most pronounced stand-patters of the
party, who had declared during the recent cam
paign that the present tariff was conducive to the
best interests of the country, and that the dis
turbance of any schedules would result in whole
sale disaster, weakened in their convictions when
called to the White House. and if not favoring
tariff reform, at least withdrew their outspoken
opposition. This change of base has much amazed
their colleagues at the capitol, who declare their
belief that the conferees were hypnotized. AS an
that House and Senate committees meet during
the summer, and arrange schedules for revision.
so that when Congress meets in its regular ses-
sion the subject can be handled promptly. One
thing is clear, and that is that the President has
identified himself with the tariff reform move
ment, and that revision cannot be delayed longer
than next winter at the outside"

us take no backward step in educating the masses
but rather by frightening the term and raising
the standard, add new power and vitality to
our educational institutions"
So much has been said as to Governor Glenn's
views on negro education, that his own words as
to this important subject probably ought to be
published in full:
Answering the oft asked question, what pro-
portion of taxes should be allowed the negro for
his education, I desire to say that I dissent most
enphatically from the views of those who demand
that the school fund should be distributed per
capita between the white children and negro chill
rem; neither do I agree with those who would
