OF CONFEDERACY.

The Daughters Of the Confederacy,
North Carolina division. will build a
handsome memorial to those gallant
Confederate-the University boys Of
1861-'65-many of them mere boys,
who laid aside their book to join the
Southern army.

In looking over the pages of history
Of the great. war between the North
and the South. it will be seen that the
old alma mater OF the State University
furnished over 1000 soldiers for this
cause.
At this critical period, these fair
young men were SO full of vaior and
courage, that hardly q mar was left
behind, and the Old, walls that la
sheltered and trained them, had
echoed and re-echoed with merry Jest
Of boys, now stood silent and deserted,
for the boys had shouldered their mus
kets and gone.
Statistics show hat over 400 of
these men We're killed in battle, while
Others suffered and died in Northern
prisons, from cold and hunger: others
We're faithful in the ranks until the
scause was lost. These men,, many Of
them, SO young. came from every
county in our State. and from every
Southern State. They We're good men,
great men. brave men. men our State

ORGANIZATION Is Necessary.

The commission points Guiana
concur In the conclusion--that the
most important help that the govern
Nent. whether national or state. can
give Is to show the people how to go
about these tasks of organization, ed
ucation and communication with the
best and quickest results This can
be done by the collection and spread
of information. One community can
thus be informed of what other com
ulunities have done and one country
of what other countries have done
Such help by the peoples govern
Inent would lead TO a comprehensive
plan OF organization. education and
communication and make the farm.
ing country better to live Ia. for IN
tellecrual and social reasons as vel
as for purely agricultural reasons.
The government through the de
partment Of agriculture does not eui
fivate any mans farm for him. but II
does put at bis service useful knowl-
edge that he would not otherwise get.
