years ago, there passed to the great
beyond, character whose qualities
impressed me for good while he lived
and by reflection more since his death.
In morals as in physique. he stood
erect. AS d gentleman he had few
equals and no Supcriors. All classes
of both races recognized in him a man
gentle and dignified. courteous AMI
kind in all his department and grace
in ali his movements. AS a scholar
he kept abreast with current and
modern literature, AS a physician he
commanded the respect of every doc
tor in the community. For this re-
Spect he did not cater to the WhimS
fancleS and prejudice5 of any one. But
he had it because he was candid, cour-
teous. kind and honest in all his deal
ings with different members or fac
lions of the profession and these deal
ings were based upon the principles of
ethics, and his loyalty to these prin-
ciples was seen and acknowledged
by all, profession and people and
stamped uDon his face. 1t has been

NEW STATES PROXY
For the Wilkesboro and
Jefferson Turnpike
Company.

Governor Glenn yesterday ap-
pointed Mr.. r. M. Hackett. of North
Wilkesboro, to succeed Col. 2. M.
PearsaH, resigned as States proxy
and director of the Wilkesboro and
jefferson Turnpike Company.
This turnpike is within only four
miles of completion, and will run
from Wilkesboro to Jefferson. 1t
will soon attain the heights of the
mountain, and then the work will be
completed. This will be, probably
in a month.
Several State and foreign capitalists
are interested in this road, and a
number of financierS went to Wilkes
boro a few days ago and travelled a
great distance over it, making an in
Spection with a prospective view to
purchasing the turnpike. If it is sold
to them, they will directly begin to
develop that section, and an electric
trolley line, operating between
Wilkesboro and jefferson. will be
constructed. These gentlemen are
primarily interested in the lumber
interests, and Governor Glenn stated
yesterday that the section through
which the turnpike runs, is one of
the finest lumber sections in North
Carolina. The Governor IS anxious
that this section shall be opened up,
and is doing all in his power to
further the immediate completion of
the turnpike.
The road was built chiefly by
convict labor and funds from Wilkes
county

THE EaIBEzZLEhENT CASES.
Argument of Counsel for Continue

In it's report of the continuance

PENDANTS at all times. Counsel said
in all justice if the case was contin-

the State could take the dispositions
of witnesses outside of the State.
His honor said he took it that de-
PENDANTS were men of character, 9TH
erwse they would not have occupied
the high positions they mad, and that
in a charge of this kind an investi-
CATION should be pursued WITH dill
Gence. Owing to the enormi!y Of the
offense. if the defendants are guilty
they should have every opportunity
to prepare their defense that is con-
sistent with justice, and that when the
trial shall have been concluded the
public will feel that everything pos
sible has been done. 1t is nothing
but the hanks duty to look after the
interests of its depositors, but de-
PENDANTS should have every oppor-
tunity to prove their innocence"

Sentiment For EduCa :
ton Never Stronger in
Carolina.

From the encouraging news that
the State superintendent of Public
instruction is receiving from all sec
tons of North Carolina, it is certain
that the outlook in the State was new
er better for local taxation, for i'm
provement of school houses and the
sentiment for public education was
never stronger. Supt. Joyner said
yesterday that the people have re-
school system, to make it as good
as any in the land and to give all
their children educational opportu-
mites equal to those afforded any
where. 1t will take time to accomp-
lsh this but North Carolina has put
her hand to the plough and it is
not her way to turn back.
The election for special tax and
bond issue for school buildings in
Aulandcr, BERTHE County, was car
ricd almost unanimously. This is the
home of Hon. c. w. Mitchell the
able representative from BERTHE Co.,
in the last General Assembly. He
was the author of the bill and took
an active interest in the election.
News comes also through Supt.
Mann, OF the States Prison, THAT the
election for special tax for schools
i'm the Lake Landing District Hyde
county, WnlCn WAS the nome ul''-
trict OF Mr.. Mann and in which he
was greatly Interested, was carried
by a large majority.
Six local tax elections are pcud--
ing in Wilkes county five have been
ordered in CataWba County and
nany are pending in other counties,
and there has been an unusually
large number of such elections in
all sections of the State this spring.
SO far as reported to the office of
the superintendent of Public In
the election at Mooresvillc
Is the only one that has been lost.

dercd at RamSeur in Randolph COun-

LARGER SALARIES
Asked By Several In
structors at the A. &
M. College.

The joint committee appointed by
the state Board of Agriculture ana
Board of Visitors of the a. and M.
College, to make an investigation OF
tho affairs of the college, completed
their work vest lay morning, and
have prepared their report to submit
to the Board of Agriculture In June.
The Joint committee was instruct
ed to make it's investigation on such
DAYS as the college was actually III
session and to make examination for
themselves, without regard to or for
the knowledge or opinions of either
professors. officials or students. The
members observed carefully the daily
routine, and inspected closely the
conditions of each department. They

partment to ascertain If the fare of
the students was what it should be,
whether too luxurious, and to learn

ant part of tho college.
They examined the electrical
equipment and regretted that the last
general assembly did not provide for
the changes which are necessary to
the expansion of the institution. The
mechanical and textile departments
were thoroughly inspected, and sew
eral recommendations will be made
to the board for increased faculties
II several sections of this department,
and new equipment will probably be
supplied
The agricultural department was
found in first class condition, the
sanitation perfect, the drainage sys-
tenn q model. and the buildings kept
well. All the animals are provided
for eXccllently.
Matters pertaining to the new
agricultural building which is being
constructed on the hill that crowns
the western entrance to the city, op-
pOsite the fair grounds, were dis
cussed, and it is said that the equip
ment of this building will be more
complete than that of any other at
the college.
Several professors at the college. re-
Quested an increase in their salaries,
some of them having received offers
elsewhere. The committee consider
ed this matter long, patiently and
thoroughly, and it is understood that
a few will be given larger pay when
the board meets, that is, all of the
recommendations of this committee
in regard to the government of the
A. and M. College are adopted by the
Board of Agriculture at it's meeting
in June.
None of these recommendation are
radical, and there will be no great
changes at the college.

REASONED IT OUT.
And Found y Change in Food Put
Him Right.

A man does not count as wasted
the time he spends in thinking over
his business, but he seems loth to give
the same sort of careful attention to
himself and to his health.
And yet his business would be worth
little without good health to care for
1t. a business man tells how he did
himself good by carefully thinking
ever his physical condition, investigat-
Ing TO find out what was needed, and
then changing to the right food.
For some years / had been both
cred a great deal after meals. MY
food seemed to lay like lead in nv
stomach, producing hCaVineSs and
dullnesS and sometimes positive pain
OF course this rendered me more or
less unfit for business, andsI made up
my mind that something would have
to be done
Reflection led me to the conclusion
that oVer-eating. filling the stomach
with indigestibe food, was responsible
for many of the ills that human flesh
e1dureS, and that | was furnishing
myself in that way-that was what
was making me 50 dull, heavy and
uncomfortable and unfit for business
after meals | concluded to try
Grape-Nuts food to see what it could
&c for me.
Il have been using it for some
months now, and am glad to say that
il has given me entire relief. l do
not suffer any longer after meals: my
food seems to assimilate easily and
T erfectly. and to do the work for
which it was Intended. 1 have re-
gained my normal weight, and find
that business is a pleasure once more
can take more interest in it, and
nv mind is clearer and more alert .

these steps, then will there be thous-
ands to follow in the work, and in the
dawn of the twentieth century univer-
sal peace will have dawned upon earth,
swords will be beaten into plough
shares, spears into pruning hooks, and
men will learn war no more"
But there is not one newspaper in
five to espouse the cause of peace, not
one teacher in fifty to lend his efforts,
and not one minister in five hundred
to take few days off from the work
of bolstering up the crumbling and
tottering structure upon which rests
their bigotry, their superstition, and
their priestcraft. Even the church of
which you are a member, Bro. Dabney,
is not awake to the evils of war, but
is busy with efforts that discount the
sale of indulgences in the sixteenth
century.
Why then turn to our schools and
our missions to do work that at pres
ent is so far from their efforts to-day?

Asks That InfideIs Will Spread lnfideI
Literature.

Muncie, Ind, April 18th, 1905.
Editor Blue Grass Blade:
In a sermon preached by the Rev
Talmage to his congregation in the
city of Washington, not long before
his death, he warned his hearers
against the danger of reading Free
thought literature, and stated that the
faith of any Christian could be com
pletely destroyed in six weeks by pc
rusing the current infidel papers pub
lished In the United States.
This is probably the greatest and
most important utterance that ever
fell from the lips of this theological
mountebank, and am perfectly GER
tain that the failure of Freethinkers
to recognize this great truth is the
chief cause of the slow death of or
thodox religion, and the slow growth
of Rationalism.
In former letters I have urged the
readers of the Blade to expend a few
dollars each year in the purchase Of
Infidel papers, and scatter them broad
cast among the bibliolaters and de
voices of orthodox religion, and I now
repeat this advice, and hope that
Freethinkers every where will appre
ciate the significance of the state
ment made by the most colossal the
illogical charlatan of the nineteenth
century.
Probably not one in hundred OF
the church habitues in the United
States ever saw a Freethought paper,
and II they could be enlightened and
made to understand that they belong
to an institution that has Redeemed
all the rivers of the earth with blood,
they would soon vacate their pews
and flock to the standard of Rational
ism by tens of thousands.
A tri1ing expense on the part of
every Freethinker would accomplish
this work far more rapidly than a
hundred platform orators as gifted as
the matchelss Ingersoll.
Hoping that every Freethinker In
the United States will flood the
darkened homes of their Christian
neighbors with the light Of reason, ]
am yours always-T. J. BOWLES.

paid yet. want the Blade as long as
1t is printed, because it teaches Inf
deity. | advise all people to get the
Blade and study it thoroughly. If any
Blade reader thinks Infidelity is pos
sibly wrong | want him to read both
sides carefully before he concludes
that Ipfidelity is wrong. You cannot
convict any man without hearing both
sides of the case.
Infidelity teaches civilization and as
long as people believe the Bible they
are in the dark. If you want to get
civilized get the Blue Grass Blade
and read it carefully. Advise your
neighbor to get it and pay for it in
advance so the editor can live and
publish the paper. Infidelity is what
we want and we have got to have 1t
before we are civilized. 1t has got to
have time but 1t is growing faster
every year. Those who are Infidels
do not need the Blade as much as
those who are not.
Teaching Infidelity Is the same as
any other branch of education. II
must be taught by degrees. You can
not teach 1t all at once and we cannot
pound Infdelity into a Christians
head with a sledge hammer. If
man does his best he should not be
cussed-he should kindly be told of
his ignorance. Let us try to get the
grand Blue Grass Blade into a major
ity of the families of our country.
