College Authority.
Thomasville Charity and Children.

Thomasville Charity and Children.
OF late the faculty of the average
college appears to have surrendered
it's authority ipto the hands of the
Senior class. Several very striking
Incidents illustrating this change of
control have occurred of late. The
most notable is that at the A. Il NJ,
where the faculty seems to have cut
no figure at all, but the Seniors
stepped in and saved the day. This
is entirely unfortunate for all parties
concerned The growing power OF
the student body, and especially the
Senior class, has destroyed that re-
spect for the professors that their
positions should secure to them. We
remember talking to IA professor
once who turned pale and spoke in a
whisper when referring to the proba
BILE action OF the student body in a
case then pending. This is nonsense.
The student body OF the average col
lege can be controlled as easily as
any other body of country boys, if
the faculty will display little man.
hood. We need to get back to the
good old days when the school teach
er was also the school master. Acol-
lege professor should be feared as
well as respected by the boys; but
unfortunately it is the other in some
institutions. Parents are doing a
good deal OF quiet thinking on this
matter, and the college faculty
that exercises proper control is the
one that commands their respect
and that will secure their patronage.
The craze for a big enrolment has
weakened, and in some instances de-
stroyed, the discipline Of otherwise
excellent colleges, but it is a great deal
better to have a student body of two
hundred than a wild mob Of five hun
dred. We hope to see reaction set
in toward the restoration OF the col
lege faculty to its former power and
authority, but it must come only
through the assertion of the rights
of the members of the faculty them
selves. A horse knows, we are told,
when a driver takes up the reins,
whether he is a timid man or not; a
boy knows this much sooner than a
horse.

Exchange, Home Circle Department.
Those are Just the words. Had
we looked through ''Webstpr's I'm
abridged" we could not have found
four words that expressed so entirely
our meaning of these. We believe
the four words were made with di-
rect reference to the grumbling, grOwl-

People who never mind their own
business are very much such class of
animals as the cross, surly, whiffet
dogs, that are always barking, bit
ing, nabbing somebody. We wonder
if they would appreciate a lecture?
We will ask them few questions just
to find out. Don't you think the
world and the people in it will live
and prosper without the tremendous
anxiety you carry on your shoulders

know the price, and for what special

curiosity? Can't neighbor B. and
his wife go by but you'll bet they're
going to see somebody and have
slighted you?
Did God make you and US on pur-
pose to superintend His universe, and
every body's affairs and assume the
control of the "free will'' He gave
men? Is this the purpose and plan
of our'existence and destiny, to for

Eczema Now Curable.
All Itching Skin Diseases Which Are
Not Hereditary Instantly Relieved
by Oil of Wiutergreen.

NY VII VI w CELL
Can Eczema be cured?
Some physicians say Yes.
Some say NO"
The real question is, what is meant
by Eczema?" Ii you mean those scaly
eruptiOns, those diseases which make
their first appearance, not at birth. but
years afterward, and perhaps not until
middle age-then there can no longer be
any question that these forms of Eczema
are durable.
Simple vegetable oil of wintergreen,
mixed with other vegetable ingredients,
will kill the germs that infest the skin.
Apply this prescription to the skin, and
instantly that awful itch is gone. The
very moment the liquid is applied, that
agonizing, tantalizing itch disappears,
and continued applications of this exter-
nal remedy soon cure the disease.
We carry in stock this oil of winter
green properly compounded into d. d. d.
Prescription. While we are not sure
that it will cure all those cases of skin
trouble which are inherited, we positive
ly know that this D. d. D. Prescription
whenever rightly used, will cure every
last case of genuine Eczema or other
skin trouble, which did not exist at
birth.
We know this. Any way you, yourself,
will know that D. ID. d. Prescription in
stantly takes away the itch the moment
it is applied to the skin.

Excerpts From the Durham Herald.

If the conservatives sit still aud let
the radicals have their way they
should not turn in and blame them
for it.
You should not be so hard on eth
er of the candidates, being as you
are expected to support the man that
wins out.
The Republicans have not yet
found man who was willing, while
the Democrats cannot keep out OF
their way.
II the public was not quite so GER
tain that our Governor will become
a candidate we would perhaps hear
from him sooner.
Perhaps the employees of the South
ern were expecting to have that sew
enteen thousand five hundred to pay
when they entered their protest.
That hint was probably given out
from Washington just to keep any
body from thinking that the Govern
or is not going to be candidate.
The tragedy at Fayetteville goes to
show that the law viii finally have
to take notice of the habitual crimi-
nal, even though his crimes be not
great.
If the candidates are allowed to
get together many more times they
| will convince us that they are not
SO good as they have been repre-
sented to be.
We can understand why a con-
| servative should not want to vote
for Mr.. Kitchin, but cannot under
statd why he should want to vote
! for Mr. Craig.

Three little words you often see

Adjectives tell the kind of noun,

Instead OF nouns the pronouns stand

Verbs tell something to be done
TO read, count. laugh, sing, Jump or run.
How things are done the adverbs tell, ts
AS slowly, quickly, i'll or well.
Conjunctions join the words together,
AS men and women, wind Or weather.
The proposition stands before
The noun, as in or through the door.

Not a Pleasing Possibility.
Charlotte Observer.


- The Macon Telegraph observes
that "the advancing age OF Chief
Justice Fuller and Justices Harlan,
Brewer and Peckham may at any
time lead to their retirement, and
the next President of the United
States is likely to be called on prac-
tically to reconstruct the member
ship of the Supreme Court, which
would now appear to be almost the
only conservative governing force
that the country can depend on"
This is something for the people to
think upon. 1t would be an evil day
for this country when majority of
the membership of it's Supreme Court
was constituted of judges selected
without restraint by either Mr..
Roosevelt or Mr.. Bryan. With
either OF them as President the only
safety would lie in the Senate which
yet has the power of rejection of i'm
pepper nominations.
