1t is a pleasure to call attention
to the advertisement of the North
Carolina College of Agriculture
and Mechanic Arts, The State
greatly needs industrially trained
men, and the college is rapidly
helping to supply this need. Its
graduates are busy and success
full in many lines. Many of our
farms show the practical value
of their training. The railroads,
public highways, drawing rooms
and shipbuilding plants call on
the college for civil engineers.
Our lighting and water plants
and our machine shops are being
manned by it's graduates. Not 9
few of its men are superintend-
ing or managing cotton mills anc
lighthouses. Its chemists are tax
ing high rank in experiment sta.
tons, industrial plants and de
partments of agriculture. Young
men cannot do better than Fl
themselves for their vocations a
the same time that they are be
ling educated.

SANITARY CONDITIONS
AGAIN.

Our attention has been called
to the fact that some time ago
DR.. N. A. Thompson, superinten-
dent of health for the town, is
sued a circular, which was sent
to every home in town, giving
instructions as to how to avoid
certain diseases and urging the
necessity of cleaning up. This
will be more fully referred to
later. Perhaps the reference to
DR.. Thompson in Mondays paper
was a little unjust. We have
since been advised that sanitary
report which he had prepared
for the last meeting of the town
commissioners was side-tracked
for other matters and he was not
allowed to read it and no refer
ence was made to it in the min
utes.
DIR. Thompson says it is not his
business to hunt for unsanitary
conditions and the members OF
the sanitary committee say it il
not theirs. Well, it is every
body's business to report any
such conditions that come under
their observation. This condi
ton down the river, where human
excrement has been dumped up
on the ground, calls for immedi
ate action. The town ought t
bury the last bit of it and arrang
for burning it in future. 1t is
disgrace and a shame and a men
ace. 1t threatens the Who'll
town. Also, the town ought a
once to compel connection wit
the sewerage system. This
not a matter to be handled cir
gerly. To take no action undo
the circumstances would be ine1
cusable.
And the town should be clear
ed thoroughly. Every one shoul
aid in doing this. Cleanline'
means health; filth means di
ease.
