Hon. b. r. Lacy, of Raleigh, who
spoke on Heroes and Heroism.'
Besides the Baracca class there was
a good audience Of friends and SYM
pathiZers in the work of the young
men. and all were greatly pleased with
Mr. Lacy's splendid address.
In a remarkably clear style he dis
cussed his subject from the stand point
of Christian activity. By apt and
forceful illustration he showed that
the real heroes Of the world are not
those whose names are enblazoned in
history and adventure, as Napoleon
Bonaparte or julius Caesar. but many
times they are those who suffer and
sacrifice for the sake of humanity and
the honor Of God. The admonition to
Christian service was beautiful.
Young men were urged to count all
things secondary to service to God
and course of correct and right living.

North Carolinian who was returning
Hollis Mills, n. c..
Heralds story:
THE man tells sad tale. He and
his young wife left their home at
Hollis Mills, N. c., where he runs a
store, month ago, to visit relatives
in Houston, Miss.
"On their arrival at Houston. his
wife became a mother, and subse-
quently died.
There was no one in Houston with
whom he cared to leave his child, so
they came back homeward. The eX-
pense of travelling, the severe sickness
of his wife, and many incidentals
eventually exhausted the 500. which
he said he started from home with,
and when he reached this city, his
money supply had been completely
used. He applied to the county COM
missioners for help.
'The county officials and others
Clipped in and made up sum Of 81
or SIS and gave to the man. This
amount it is likely will carry him to
his destination, somewhere near Sal
isbury. N. c. He left on the afternoon
train with his babe.
"The man gave as his name j. #.
Jones. He has been merchandising
at Hollis Mill for a number of years,
and is a native of North Carolina. He
was very grateful for the assistance
rendered him in Spartanburg."

who is good as we'll as energetic and

up as the only true and manly course
to pursue.

it is doing.
The address was packed full Of
helpful suggestions to young men in
their efforts for higher things, and

Especial to News and Observer
Chapel HILL n. c., Aug. ia large
and representative number of the ci--
liens of Chapel Hill assembled in mass
meeting at the town school house last
night for the purpose of organizing
q board of trade. SomeenthusiaStic
speeches were made outlining the BEN
efits which would accrue to the COM
munity through such an organization
and calling attention to the advantages
of the town as a manufacturing resi-
dence place. The organization was
perfected by the election of the follow
ing officers: Joseph Hyde Pratt, Pres
ident H. II. Patterson and r. j..
Strowd, Vice-presidents, and A. 81
Peace Secretary and Treasurer. The
organization starts off with 35 charter
members and a bright prospect of
doubling this number at an early date.
The board of Trade is modelled af-
ter similar organizations in other
towns of the State, and has for its
particular objects the betterment of
the school facilities, the railroad SER
vice, the public roads and the general
welfare of the community. We already
have a cotton MILL knitting mill, and
wood working plant in successful OPP
Grafton and there is opportunity for
the establishment Oh OtEeT Hldlluldi-

capital with the promise of profitable
results.
AS a residential location Chapel
Hill is unsurpassed, by reason of it's
pure water, delightful climate, supe-
rior educational facilities and the gen.
eral atmosphere of a University town.
With trolly line connection with Dur
ham, which we expect to have soon,
and the new railroad which it is ex-
pected will come here, citizens of Dur
ham and other places will move their
families to Chapel Hill to enjoy its
many advantages.
The quiet little village is experien-

of Chapel Hill merely as the seat Of
