The McIver Loan Fund.
Vance County AlumnaePled
Four Hundred Dollars.
Communicated.

Communicated.
On last Saturday afternoon several OF
the Normal College Alumnae met at the
home OF Mrs. l.. r. Gooch for the purpose
OF planning the work OF the Vance
County branch Of the Alumnae Associa-
ton in raising it's share of the Mclver
Loan Fund.
The College Association has undertaken
as its work for the next two years the
raising of a $50, 900 Loan Fund in honor
OF DR.. Charles D. McIver. The former
students in every county are being or
ganized and are taking up the work with
great earnestness and enthusiasm. 1t 10
a worthy work and one that appeals
not only to loyal Normal girls, but to
all public spirited citizens who delight IN
helping a good cause. The special fea-
ture that appeals to such citizens is that
the fund raised in each county goes to
the help of worthy girls in that county.
This is wise in that the contributors
can so quickly see the results from their
gifts.
There have been forty-six matriculates
from Vance County at the Normal Col
lege during the sixteen years since it's
establishment. Eight OF these have been
full graduates. With such showing we
feel that we can undertake our full share
of the work. While, as yet, it has been
impossible to get full meeting OF these
former students, those who have been
present at the called meetings and Others
who have expressed themselves think
that the Vance County Alumnae can
pledge themselves to raise $4,000 for
the Loan Fund. This is about $1,000 to
the individual, to be contributed within
the next two years.
At later date it is hoped that we can
have a full meeting of all those interested.
In the meantime, let us work together
for the raising OF the Fund.
We trust that the public spirited citi-
Gems OF Henderson and Of Vance County
and there are many such who are in
terested in the cause of Public Education
will help us in our undertaking.
Contributions will be gladly received
by Mrs. l.. r. Gooch, President OF the
Association, or by the Secretary.

Better Let Well Enough Alone.

Greenville Reflector.
We thought the railroad rate mat
ter, so far as it relates to passenger
fares, was settled and that there
would be no further agitation of it.
That is the position the people had
taken, though a compromise was ef-
feted at a rate some higher than
specified in the bill passed by the
Legislature two years ago, it gave
them satisfaction. But it seems that
the railroads are not satisfied with
the agreement they made, and want
to reopen the matter to agitation.
With this end in view the head Off
Gals of the several railroads operat-
ing in this State met by agreement
in Raleigh, the other day, asked a
conference with Governor Kitchin
whom they desired to help bring
about change in the existing pas
senger fare law and permit the rail
roads to charge a higher rate.
According to our way OF thinking,
the railroads had better let we'll
enough alone. If they reopen the
rate War and arouse the people on it,
and come out the worst in the agita-
ton, they will have only themselves
to blame for it.

pathy with trusts or trust methods.
but we can see no sense in Gripping
every tobacco farmer in North Caro-
lima just to givea little annoyance to
the American Tobacco Company. To
forbid that company buying tobacco
in this State would mean only to
give it temporary Inconvenience. for
it could go right on buying in other
States and continue selling it's man
ufactured product in North Carolina
as it pleased, which under the inter
state law could not be prevented. but
at the same time the North Carolina
tobacco farmers will be deprived of
adequate markets for their product.
hence would be forced to largely
abandon growing it. The American
Tobacco Company could go on doing
business without North Carolina TO-
bacco, so if they are forced out of the
State the tobacco farmers and the
towns largely supported by tobacco
markets would be the greatest suf-
ferers.

ROBERT E. LEE.


On the occasion OF the one hun.
dred and second anniversary OF the
birth of Gen. Robert E. Lee, Jan.
10th, the Southern Pines Tourist,
edited by a Northern man, published
this editorial appreciation OF the
great Confederate military leader,
ideal citizen and Christian gentle
man, the character and fragrant
memories of whom it declares "are
not merely among the intellectually
valuable assets OF the South, but they
are among the most potent forces
that are cementing the ever growing
bonds OF sympathy and comradeship
between the North and the South. .
Who among Lees most ardent
Southern admirers could utter a
sentiment finer than that? But to
quote the article in full:
The character, and the fragrant
memories OF Gen. Robert E. Lee are
not merely among the incidentally
valuable assets of the South, but
they are amoug the most potent
forces that are cementing the ever
growing bonds of sympathy and
comradeship between the North and
the South.
No man connected with the Con-
federacy was so highly honored, so
profoundly respected for private
worth and personal character, or go
universally beloved, as Lee. His
name was always one to conjnre with
in the South and his memory ouches
the tenderest spot in the Southern
heart. In the North no name save
that of Stonewall Jackson is held in
the same esteem, and his career was
not permitted to reach it's culmina-
ton, and hence likes something OF
the influence exertPd by that OF Lee.
1t is q great and fortunate thing
that two sections, somewhat dis
similar in traditions and in feeling,
long estranged by grave misunder-
standing, and now, happily, inclined
to forget the past, and to press for
ward to that which lies before, we
can meet at the tomb OF Grant, or
beside the grave of Lee, and hear
again the words of one, LET us have
Peace" or recall the manly and
noble spirit in which the latter met
the inevitable issue, after a military
career that stamped him as one OF
the worlds greatest captains.

BURN OUT THE
BUDDING HORNS
How One Can Prevent the Horns
Growing on Young Calves.

When circumstances are favorable
as in the case of farmers who build up
their herds by raising the progeny,
the horns may be prevented from
growing by a simple and practically
painless method, and the custom of
preventing the growth of the horns
rather than deferring the matter with
the necessity of removing them from
popular and more generally practiced
under all conditions except in the
case of calves dropped on the open
range. To do this successfully II is
necessary that the calf should be
treated not later than one week after
its birth, preferably when it is from
three to five days old, The agent to
be used may be either causttc soda
of caustic potash, both of which may
be procured in the drug stores in the
form of sticks about the thickness of
an ordinary lead pencil and five
inches long. These caustics must be
handled with care, as they dissolve
the cuticle and may make the hands
or fingers sore, The preparation Of
the calf consists in first clipping the
hair from the parts, washing clean
with soap and warm water, and
thoroughly drying with cloth or
towel. The stick OF caustic should be
wrapped in n piece of paper to pro-
tect the hands and fingers. leaving
one end of the stick uncovered.
Moisten the uncovered end slightly
and rub 1t on the horn buttons or lit
tie points which may be felt on the

other, alternately, two or three times
on each, allowing the caustic to dry
after each application. BE very care.
