Though scant his store
Of earthly gain,
Der his grave the tears
Shall fall like rain.

More sweetly there
For one who learned
To bravely fare.

MATTERS OF GENERAL INTEREST.
What is TraGSpifiDg in North Carolina
And Other States.

At the Virginia Anti-Saloon
League, which met in Norfolk last
week, the legislative Committee re-
commended in its report that the
legislature not be asked at the next
session to order an election on State
wide prohibition. The Committee
reports that the Anti-Saloon League
will not change its program, by which
it has considerably extended the dry
territory of Virginia, unless its be-
comes apparent that the minor re-
quests of the legislature will not be
granted. 1t endorses the plan that
Judge Mann has taken, and declares
that he is entitled to the thanks of
the Anti-Saloon League for his efforts
N the legislature in behalf of the
measures asked for by the League.
The people consider this as virtual
endorsement Of Judge Mann's can
didacy for the nomination of the
Democratic party for Governor.
After the Committee had finished its
report, Judge Mann, in his address,
formally announced that he favors
local option, and not Statewide pro-
hibition. There were some prohibi-
tionists in the convention who intend |
to place squarely before the body |
the question of Statewide prohibi-
ton. When this is done it is thought |
that the Republican party will take
up the fight OF the prohibitionists in
Virginia, and will challenge the Local
Option Democracy on the stump in
the Gubernatorial campaign.
During the past week President |
Eliot, of Harvard University, has
been touring the South. Before he
returns North, he will visit most of the
large centers. He will visit colleges

to retire from the chair he now oc-
cupies, and as the Bulletin says fur
ther, ct is indeed, especially fitting
that the president Of Harvard Uni
versity, typical product of New
England, should include among his
last official duties a visit to the
South" The News and Observer
has this to say: ''The coming Of Pres

South. He will not abrorb as much

David l.. Swain claim against the

the Trustees Of the University also
recommended that the Legislature
pay the claim, as the University is
without funds.
A second message by Governor
kitchin urged the General Assembly

Some days days ago at White
House Conference on Dependent
Children, composed Of 200 Of the
foremost workers Of all faiths, it
was unanimously resolved to urge
upon Congress the desirability of
establishing Children's Bureau in
one of the executive departments.
The President strongly favors the
proposal, and will send a message to
Congress urging the passage Of bills
embodying its features that have
already been introduced in both
Houses. The duty Of the children's 8
bureau would be to gather and fur

man in the Senate bill increasing
the limit of cost for the site and pub
lie building at Washington, N. c.,
from $4,000 to 155, 900. The site
has already been selected at the price
of $4,000 which leaves $4,000 for
the construction of the building.
This building must provide for both
the United States courts and the
postofice, and the supervising archi-
tect of the Treasury Department
reports that it is not practicable to
construct an attractive and commo-

$4,000 exclusive Of the site, will
