In making up this roster we have

Sunday and at the request a. 'he
doctors, Governor Kitch1n SEM a ie'-

Vile doctor protests against the pro-
posal. and declares that ministers

further intimating that the clergy is
too much inclined to give gratuitous
advice from the pulpit on all subjects.

not look to asking the ministers to

need of better health conditions is
good sanitation, and to secure that
the people must be reached. Whether
the preachers feel that they will OBJ

would be a powerful help in arresting

a TRUE PATRIOT.

The whole State of North Carolina
will earn with deep regret Of the serb
Gus illness of Hon. John r. Webster,
editor of Webster's Weekly and ex-
Speaker Of the House of Represent
tatives. The Reidsville Weekly thus
refers to his conditions:
The condition Of Col. John r.
Webster shows no change. His mind
is clear and we understand that he
anticipates that the end is near and
has given directions concerning his
temporal affairs. His paper, he an

Physicians who are attending him as
sert that it is possible for him to live
for some time. but hat both sides
having been paralvzed. he cannot be
active again, and of course he is liable
to pass away at any time. His friends
are still hoping for the best"
Col. Webster is a man who has
given n taken many blows in a
strenuous and vigorous warfare, but
he never gave a blow beneath the
belt and men always know where to
find him. He has done the State real
service and those who have agreed
with and those who have disagreed
recognized his ability and usefulness,
and unite in the prayer that his life
may be long spared.

UNCLE SANS FARM HIGH SCHOOL

The great agricultural high school
dreamed Of by some hopeful oduCa-
tional pioneers may be a long way
off, but the plan has been squartly
placed before Congress in Representa-
tive Davis bill.
Mr.. Davis, who very ably represents
a Minnesota district. believes that the
government should encourage the
States to establish high schools OF a
technical nature where agriculture can
be taught and where men and women
al be trained 10 teach it.
Mr.. Davis bill asks for something
like $40, 600. 600 for this purpose. The
districts in the various States must
help establish and maintain these
plans. They must provide suitable
sites free, and the building and equip
lnent as well. Then the none ap-
pr%opriared by the government Will be
available.
The details Of the plan have not
been worked out and the Davis bib
is probably only a preliminary feeler
as to public sentiment in the matter.
Theodore Roosevelt favored his
movement, and so does President Taft
although no official Endorsement by
MIN has been amended. Mr.. Davis
has received thousands of letters Of
Endorsement from every state, but as
yet the support of the measure has
not crystaliZed into a form that carries
great weight.
There are nearly $4,000 00 bread
winners in the country, and of these
so, 10000, 900 or more work with their
hands. Therefore 1t is claimed by Mr..
and his supporters that the large
question of education is not along
academic lines, but industrial as Well

| thank Thee for the daily task, q
little too big and a little too hard for
my present ability, and for the daily
increase of power that comes to meet
it; for the trial that ome to strength
en- and purify and not to destroy; for
the opportunity to give that makes me
richer; for the privilege of service that
prove me not worthless in the world;
for the ~unspeakable honor of working
with Thee and meeting some need hat
Thou hast for me-Which / cannot un-
derstand but can believe; for the
friend who walks with me shoulder to
shoulder through the valley of the
shadow, and then with a glad face and
ringing voice grips my hand as we
climb together the bright hills Of vic
tory; for the loyal and sympathetic
friends near and far-ThOu knowest
the number of them-who inspire me,
and, best of all, who believe in me:
for the past, because it is past, and
because it was necessary in Thy provi-
dence, and it held the begin
ningS of all things now cherished; for
the present, because it is the only
time which / a claim with certainty
for doing the things that must be done,
and because it is full Of opportunity

holds bright visions that beckOn me

hast given me a generous share; but
more for JOY, which thou wouldSt lot
limit, as Thou wouldst not limit obe-

that Thou wilt accept the Thanksgiving
