Personal.

Mr.. Leland Copeland of Southern
Pines, visited Henderson and spent a
couple of days last week. This was
his first visit and he expressed him
self as very favorably impressed with
the place and people he met. Mr.
Copeland is native of Kansas City,
Mo-, but when not pursuing his stud
les as a student in college he has been
making his home in Southern Pines
for some years. He is a talented
young man, a genius, his friend Mr.
n. ID. Wells, says-a graceful and
felicitous writer of verse and prose
whose circle Of readers and admirers
is more than local. We hope Mr..
Copeland's liking for Henderson is
such that he will come again even ii
he may not decide to cast his lot
among us.

Dear Sir: Not one man in ten knows
whether he's wasting money or not,
when he paints. 1t depends on the paint.
With one paint. your Job will take 10
gallons and cost $50 for paint and labor;
with another II and cost $ 60;
with another II and cost 20;
with another Is and cost so;
with another Is and cost 90;
with another 20 and cost 100;
with another % and cost no.
Here's an example: Professor Irvine,
OF the Academy, Mercersburg, Pa,
painted the floors of his dormitories
every year, one year with one paint,
next year with the paint OF the other
dealer thereto divide the business be-
tween them-till Devoe came to town.
The job took 90 gallons; takes go
Devoe The difference, 30 gallons, 81 so.
He didn't know he was losing $50 a

Concert by the Singing Class From
Oxford Orphanage.

One OF the many ways our people
manifest their hearty approval of
the work OF our orphans homes is
the support they give to the Singing
Class from the Oxford Orphanage.
While the concerts are of such char
acter as to merit patronage even if
they were not given in behalf Of
great work. the fact that most ex-
cellent program is rendered by bright.
well-trained children and, at the
same time, a most worthy cause is
promoted. makes the appeal doubly
strong to our people. Do not fail to
attend the concert at the Grand

RHODES SCHOLARSHIPS
DR.. Murphy Gives Out Informa-
ton About Examination.
OPPORTUNITY FOREDUCATION
Candidates Passing Home Examination
Will Not Have to Undergo the
Oxford Test.

Tallahassee, Fla.-In q recent let
ter received by Or. A. A. Murphree,
president OF the Rhodes scholarship
commission I'm Florida, from DR..
George II. Rarkin, agent for the
Rhodes Scholarship trust, attention
was called TO the fact that next Oc-
tober is the time specified for compet-
tive examinations to be held for this
scholarship. Dr. Parkin also stated
that an important concession had
been made by the examining commit
tee relative to these examinations
which will hereafter make II easier
for candidate to win out. Hereto.
fore the test has been on the making
of a certain grade in the examina-
lions held in mathematics, Latin ana
Greek, and in numerous cases where
brilliant records have been made by
young men in the two first named
studies, failure to pass In the Greek
requirements has disbarred them
from entering the English university.
Now, however, while the same ex-
aminations and grading are still re-
quired, the candidate, If he should
pass in mathematics and Latin at the
home examination, may, in the nine
months intervening between that eX-
animation and his departure for Eng
land, take a special course in Greek
to make up his deficiencies. Then,
If he passes the examination given
him at Oxford before entrance he will
be admitted as a Rhodes scholar to
the university.
In case of a candidate passing the
home examination in all three stud
les, there will as heretofore, be no
second test required of him at oxford.
The candidate for this scholarship
must have passed his nineteenth
birthday but not his twenty-fifth. 1t
lis also required that he shall have
reached the end of his sophomore
year, or have completed his second
years work at some degree-grant-
ing college or university in the Unit
ed States.
Hitherto the Florida scholarship ex-
aminations have been held under the
supervision of DR.. James y. Anderson,
professor of Latin and Greek at the
state university, but now the candi-
dates may qualify at any specified
center. The subjects chosen for the
test are arithmetic, algebra, or plain
geometry, Greek and Latin grammar
Greek and Latin composition, and
sight translation from these Language
es. Each student is allowed $500
a year for three years, for his ex-
penses, an ample sum for any young
man who is not wastefully eXtrava-
