RURAL LIFE WEEK.

BY far the most important event
educationally in the SummerSchool
and perhaps in Virginia and the
South during the present summer
will be the Rural Life Conference
to be held at the University, July
18th to 18th, inclusive. The prac-
tical problems of rural improve
ment Wilt be considered each day
and night by the most noted ex-
perts in the country. 1t is to be
hoped that men and women from
all sections will avail themselves of
this opportunity. Nothing like it
has ever occurred in the South.

Quoted by Revs. Roane and Young.
His remains were laid to rest in the
graveyard at that place, followed
by the largest gathering of friends
and relatives ever seen at that
Church.
From what we can learn, the
cause of his death was as follows:
He was conductor on an inter
urban trolley line, and in shifting
cars, he took hold of the brake to
check or stop the car, and the
brake being defective, he fell from
the car taking the brake with him,
and was run over by other cars.
The traction company is respon-
sible for his death by putting
defective car on the tracks.

A FAMOUS DUEL.
The Fatal Meeting Between Comrne.
dores Barron and Decatur.

The Fatal Meeting Between comme.
dores Barron and Decatur.
On March %, 1920, was fought one
Of the most memorable duels in the an
nails of the United States. Commodore
Decatur and Commodore Barron met
On the fatal field near BladeDsburg
that day. Both participants were
wounded, Decatur mortally, dying
within a few hours after the encoun-
ter. The causes which led to the Ill
feeling between these two naval heroes
have never been accurately determined,
but 1t generally supposed that De-
catur's harsh criticism Of Barron on
account of the latter not returning from
abroad to take part in the war brought
about the breach. Certain 1t is that
Decatur's words were repeated to Bar
ron, and correspondence between the
two ensued, which probably resulted in
the challenge. The impending duel
was kept a profound secret. Only q
few of the most intimate friends of the
respective participants had even an
inkling of it. Decatur was the first to
arrive upon the scene He was accom-
panied by COmmodOres Rodgers and
Porter and several other friends. Bar
ron arrived a few minutes later. The
combatants bowed stiffly to each other
and stood waiting for their friends to
measure of the ground and make the
final arrangements.
II hope, SIR" said Barronp as they
took their places, shat when we meet
in another world we shall be better
friends than we have been in this"
Decatur is said to have haughtily re-
garded his adversary moment and
then replied:
"Sir, have never been your enemy"
A moment later the word was given,
and two shots rang out simultaneously.
Barron fell almost Immediately. De-
catur Strengthened himself, but the pis-
tol fell from his grasp, and in a mo-
ment he. was upon the greensward
writing In agony. He was raised by
his friends and carried nearer the
road, where Barron was lying.
81 wish had fallen in the service
Of my country" Decatur muttered,
whereupon Barron looked up.
Everything has been conducted
most honorably," he said.
Then, turning his eyes upon Decatur:
"I~am MORALLY wounded. Commo-
dore Decatur, l forgive you from the
bottom Of my heart"
AS Decatur was being lifted into a
carriage cambridge, whom Decatur
had once rescued from a Moorish pris-
on, stopped down and kissed his cheek.
With his head upon Rodgers snoul-
der and In company with physician,
Decatur was driven slowly back to the
city and carried into his residence on
Lafayette square, where he died a
few hours afterward.
The news Of the duel spread like
wildfire through the city. The follow
ing day John Randolph offered con-
solatory resolutions in congress, which,
however, were promptly objected to,
and the press vigorously denounced the
practice of dueling.
Barron ultimately recovered from his
injury, but it is said the memory Of
the fatal duel darkened his life ever
afterward. He lived until the year
1851 and had charge Of several vessels.
At his own request he was court mar
tailed upon the charges made against
him by Decatur and exonerated-Ex-
