WHAT IS YOUR MOTIVE?
Some Things for Parents and Guard.
ians to Think About-What IS the
Real, Motive in Sending Your Boy
or Girl Off to School?

The Raleigh Christian AdFOcate
asks some pertinent questions and
makes some timely reflections on the
subject OF education. 1t says:
Within the next few weeks hundreds OF
bows and girls in North Carolina will
leave home for the various schools.
The fact that our schools have enjoyed
such a large patronage for the last few
years is 7ery creditable to our people 1t
proves that they look upon the educati ton
OF their children as one o. the important
things in life.
But what is the real motive in sending
your boy or girl off to school? This is
vital question to be answered. for your
motive will determine the kind of school
you will patronize.
Do you look upon education as kind
of bread and butter affair. and desire
an education for your child simply in
order that ne or she may|b able to get
along in the world?
Do you look upon education simply as
something that will give your child a
place in society, and enable him Orher to
take a good stand among men and
women?
If YOU are governed by either or both
of these motives, you are aiming at COM
paratively low standards for your chill
dren You are apt to make a mistake in
your choice of school, and you need
not be surprised to find that your child
has been educated into q sordid, selfish
lover Of money, or gay, worthless but
terfy of society.
If your highest motive in sending your
child to school is to make man out OF
your boy or a woman out of your girl
that is, a man or woman of high moral
and Christian character, then be assured
that you have already started your be-
loved child toward the grandest goal
which a human being may reach in this
world What is your child worth il he
is devoid of moral and Christian charac
ter? 1t is worth more than the contents
of all textbooks We are sorry from the
depths of our hearts for parents whose
hearts are saddened or broken by the
children they have made sacrifices to
educate.
If you have this high motive, you will
hardly make mistake in your choice Of
a school You will choose a school in
which the mind and body of your child
will receive the most careful attention.
and in which, above all, the heart will be
| as carefully developed as the mind or
| body. A school which neglects the moral
and spiritual training of a pupils an I'M
safe place. Do not forget this fact. In
quire into the moral and spiritual charac-
! ter of the teachers, and determine if moral
and spiritual training receives adequate
attention.
1t is very gratifying to us to reflect that
| our own church schools are giving so
much attention to Christian training
| From Trinity College all through the list
| our Methodist institutions of learning
are able to say to MethOdists and others:
''Send us your boys and girls and our
! highest ambition will be to make men
and women out of them We are fortu-
nate in our schools

lust Tribute to Governor Glenn.
Wilmington Messenger.

Wilmington Messenger.
The Durham Herald pays the fol-
lowing compliment to Governor
Glenn. The fact that the editor of
that paper did not vote for Mr.. Glenn
makes its commendatory remarks all
the more complimentary at the pres
ent time. There can be no disputing
the fact that Mr.. Glenn is thorough
ly conscientious and is trying in every
matter which comes before him, to do
his best as Governor of the State.
lie belongs to no clique and has no
faction at his back debating his
action to him. He is trying his best
and all must agree is succeeding
most admirably-to be the Governor
OF the whole State, showing partial
lty to no section and to no set of
people. BY the time Governor Glenn S
term OF office expires he will have
made for himself a record which will
go down in history as most envia-
BILE one. The Durham Herald saws:
We did not vote for Mr.. Glenn, but we
believe he is trying his best to make us a
good governor and is succeeding beyond
our expectations

NEGRO lYNCHED BY MOB
Hanged From Bridge and His Body
Riddled With Bullets.

RIddled With Bullets.
Newberne, N. c., Aug. 20. = John
Moore. a negro, 20 years of age. was
taken from the Craven county Jail
in this city and lynched by a mob Of
100 masked men armed with rifles and
revolvers.
With his hands tied behind him, the
negro was led out about a third of q
mile from the Jail to the draw of the
Neuse river bridge, hanged to one Of
its braces and his body riddled with
bullets. Entrance to the Jail was eff
fected by forcing the jailer to surren-
der the keys. Sheriff ]. w. Biddle was
quickly on the scene pleading that
Moore be left to the law, but his eff
forts were unavailing and the mob car
ried out its plans.
Moore entered the country store of
George Eubanks. at Clarks, seven
miles from Newberne last Friday.

only one in The negro attempted
robbery and struck Mrs Eubank on
the head with meat axe, fracturing
bones and inflicting injuries which, if
they do not prove fatal, will at least
cause not only Disagreement but life
long suffering. Mrs. Eubanks screamed
and people came to her rescue. The
negro fed, but was captured in a
swamp after a chase of a few miles

For Statue Of Vance in Statuary Hall.
Wilmington Messenger.

Wilmington Messenger.
OF late years this erecting OF stat
ues and monuments to public men has
been run into the ground 1t has
been made entirely too common.
Such marks of respect and Of COM
memoration for future generations
should bepaid only to the really great
and distinguished men of the country.
To make it SO common as is the Gus
tom now days detracts from the
value of the tribute paid in this man.
ner to those whose deeds and services
to the country are really deserving
of such lasting testimonials OF the
peoples respect, gratitude and love.
There are some monuments that
North Carolina should have erected
years ago. In this respect she has
been neglectful of the memory of her
creates men. 1t is shame that her
two inches in the national statuary
hall in the capitol at Washington
should be still empty. They should
have been filled long ago. The State
should have appropriated the funds
for this work. No State in the Union
has produced men more worthy to
have statues adorn this national hall
than ours; yet to a stranger taking
| note OF the statues there it would APP
pear that the people of North Caro-
| lima felt that their State had never
produced a man whose services to
state or nation warranted them in
placing a lasting testimonial to his
memory in the hall Of statues OF the
great men OF the country where stand
so many monuments to the distin-
guished Sons OF other states.
| We say that the State should have
placed statues in these ninces long
| ago, but as it has failed to do so we
are glad to see that a party of citi-
Zeus have taken the matter up and
that the State Literary and Histori-
cal Association has decided to launch
the movement for placing statue OF
| ZebulOn b. Vance in one of them. 1t
is to be hoped that this association
will be given the moral and financial
support by people of the State which
it's undertaking deserves. The peO-
| pie OF the State outside of member
| ship of that association should come
to its aid with Il heartiness and a
liberality which will make sure the
success of this laudable undertaking.
The necessary funds should be raised
at once SO there will be no delay in
securing the erection OF this statue

Southern Railway Receives rIonst er
1oguIs for Use on This Division,

The Southern Railway Company
has just received at its shops in Spen-
Ger Il delivery of GO Of the largest To-
comotives ever brought there. They
were made by the Richmond branch
OF the American Locomotive Works.
The monsters, which are all new and
OF the most modern type of engines,
form a beautiful sight when lined up
on the Spencer yards OF the lot, so
are to be used in freight traffic in and
out OF Spencer, while ten additional
locomotives will be placed in.the pas
senger service on the main line of the
Southern. When equipped and ready
for a trip the engines weigh about
$50 tons each, being among the
heaviest in the service of the Southern.
The purchase of this lot of locomo-
tives represents a total expenditure
of $9SO,OOO. Besides the above, the
Southern is also receiving 25 of the
same type of engines at its Knoxville
shops, as we'll as smaller deliveries at
various points on its system.

POTATO BUG SAID TO Be MORT

Allentown. Pa, Aug 2S-The king
of terrors of the farmers-the potato
bug-after reigning for 80 years, has
finally disappeared To those unac
quainted with his terrors the an
nouncement will mean little, but to
the men of the fields who have been
called upon to fight him and his raw
ages with Bonded back in the fields
throughout the summers it means a
great deal.
The cause of the passage of the bug
is open to dispute. Some claim that it
is due to the fact that another bug.
an enemy of the potato scavenger. has
taken residence in the home of the
p latter and destroyed its eggs Another
reason given is that the bugs have
been killed off by pestilence. They
first made their appearance in this
region in 1875. and have held full
sway since.
