 In the meanwhile the business of the office will be conducted across the hal in a room which formerly formed part of the Sheriff's office. The Probate or flee was yesterday cleared of all wood works and furnishings of every class. Every piece of wood In the entire of- flee will be taken out. The wooden flooring will even be taken up. In It's place a flooring of marble and tiling will be set in place.
 The ceiling, inasmuch as 1t is now Of masonry, will be scraped and repainted in lieu of a new one being put in. but every other portion of the office Will be given treatment.
 Everything that will go into the new office will be of steel. The counters, the desks, the filing cases, and the re- pository for all valuable papers will be of the same metal. Moreover, these furnishings will be as handsome and as modern as the market affords.
 The repairs when they are completed will be in keeping with the standing and importance of Montgomery Coun- ty. The improvements will cost about $9. 800, and it will take perhaps six weeks to complete them. These i'm provements are .n keeping with the general scheme of improving the Coun- tv Court House.

 If some honor had have been con- ferred on this same detachment you could have heard nothing but words of praise, not for the detachment, but for Us: the Battery. They would claim honors but would not shoulder mistakes.
 I hold the order, written by my su- perior officer, and am not amendable to any one in the Battery but my com mander. I have no apology to make to these street corner takers but want to talk to men who are not afraid to talk to one of his comrades face to face.
 These same kickers are members who are actually afraid to fire a gun, who never come to drills enough to learn the tactics and if called on to do duty would be the first one to shirk it if these members are not satisfied let them get their discharge, the Battery will be better off without them. We will have enough members left to obey our commanding officer.

HAIR TELLS CHARACTER.
Color of Hair Said to Indicate . Per
 son's Temperament.

Many people believe that blonde, or light hair denotes affection and dark hair constancy. A person without hair is not devoid of character; far from 1t. The disposition of the average bald headed man Is to show much solicitude for the welfare of others, that he neg lects himself. A germ causes badness. Prof. Sabouraud, of Paris, France, in- ocuIated a rabbit with dandruff germs causing 1t to become totally bald in five weeks time To rid the scalp of these germs it is necessary to apply Newbro,s Herpicide.

RALEIGH'S HIGH SCHOOL.

Following the repeal of the foolish
law preventing the public schools of
the city from furnishing instruction
sufficient to prepare for college, the
school committee yesterday decided
definitely to build a high school as a
Part of the school system of the Capt.
tai City, and to place it's direction IN
the hands of Professor Hugh Morson
for long one of the States most noted
educators.
Under this progressive act, all the
children of the city will be enabled to
obtain an education which will fit them
either for life or for college. The
privilege of a collegiate education
should be common one. The high
school tends to render practical the
theory of the State exemplified in its
university The law which prevented
the earlier carrying out of the plan
as far as Raleigh is concerned was a
short-sighted one, and there will be
general pleasure that it can no longer
stand in the path of the ambitions of
the poorer children.
Professor Morson, whose school for
boys has been famous throughout the
State, is an ideal selection as principal
His thorough knowledge of boys, so
many of whom he has sent to honors
in college and in the business world
combined with long experience and
scholarship as varied and practical

THE SIGNIFICANT COMMENCE.
MENT.

Dull as times seem in the business
world when the first week of June
grips humanity with the forgotten
clutch of summer, the season is the
most important of the year, in the
| fact of the graduates of the colleges
about to put away childish things and
peer through the glasses of life itself
into busy world.
The graduates, male and female, de-
serve all the attention they get and
all the space their doings fill at this
time. They are the reserve drafts,
coming with high hopes, confident
strength and ignorance of defeat, to
reinforce the more and more wearied
regiments battling ever nearer to the
or and success is always to the fore.
They go into the ranks with a full
blooded courage, seeing promotion
ahead. They are the yearly stimulus,
the trained cohorts of better things.
Without their intelligent aid. lacking
their un-blunted enthusiasm, the
world would soon fall to pieces for
very dry rot. Welcome, college grad
uate; whether your lot be out of the
muslin dress to the raising of children,
or whether in the ranks of men you
are destined to fight nightly for that
ultimate good in which it is stagnation
not to have an abiding faith.
Therefore can we smile with a hui
mour untouched by cynicism at the
ease with which the beardless youths
of the universities are settling world
old problems in debate. The very au-
dacity shown in the selection of the
queries is encouraging 1t indicates a
happy spirit. thinking all things pos
sible; and to such only are the real
deeds of worth or moment to be
credited. The girl graduate, full of
thrills and of high notions, We smile
at also in sympathy and love, because
we know the divine abnegation with
which she will stoop at length to some
abandoned and unworthy cuss and
nit of her graduating-day philosophy
but higher up than he could ever
otherwise have gone.
commandments are great times.
Good things are said, high purposes
voiced, vital problems discussed. But
the good is in the recruits, eager after
their probation, for the world, to
climb the coach of life to a seat on the
box.
This season has been a happy and
successful one. At the University and
at the A. and NJ, the classes are
large. their units a sturdy set of young
manfully. They furnish an inspiration
and their numbers constitute the live
Hest hope of the State. AS the picked
troops of the future. they should
realize their responsibility. They have
all the advantages. Others, untaught
will hammer by main force of WILL
some of them TO as far but none to as

colleges, representing self-sacrifice and
the single-eyed ambition of parents
who have we'll lived or not as their
sons and daughters win out in the
game; representing the wise policy of
a State, so far perfected as it has been

Many man in the State owes a
large part of his success in life to the
conscientious training received at the
hands of Professor Hugh Morson as a
private school teacher. The giving of
such man to public service as the
head of the new high school is happy
event of Raleigh's progress.
