Every year shows a steady
growth in this institution devoted
to the higher education of the
women Of North Carolina. Dur
ing the past year the McIver

have taught or are now teaching
in the schools of North Carolina.
The dormitories are furnished
by the State and board is provid.
ed at actual cost. Two hundred

apportioned among the several
counties according to school

The following account of the
death of Mr.. ]. Frank Maddry
from the Daily Sun, on which he
worked, will carry sad news te
his many friends throughout
Durham and adjoining counties,
where he was well known:
J. Frank Maddry-Born in
Orange county, July 10th. 1872,
Died in Durham June Is. 1909.
He was the son Of Addison and
Mamie Markham Maddry, Of
Orange county. His mother died
in 1883. He came to Durham in
1886 and entered the Recorder
Office, then run by E. C. Hackney,
to learn the business. In 1892
the Daily Sun moved into the
Recorder Office and took over
q part Of its force. Among the
number was young Maddry, who
was sticking type. His adap-
liability in the art, and his en-
ergy and eagerness to advance
soon convinced the proprietor of
the Sun that there was good
material in him for journalistic
work, and he was taken from the
ease" and puto localreporting.
He made good. After several
years on this paper, he attained
q third interest in the Morning
Herald and went to that paper.
He sold his interest in that in
1897 and went to Chapel Hill to
round up his education. He left
the University and enlisted in
the Spanish-American War.
When that ended he came back
again and became city editor Of
the Morning Herald. About
eighteen months ago he resigned
that position, and a few months
after his resignation, he came
back to his first love and early
efforts, and became city editor
of the Sun, which. position he
held at the time of his death.
We feel a near personal loss in
his demise. Mr.. Maddry had a
genuine nose for news" as
they say in newspaper circles.
and he could handle it with
alacrity and rapidity, that would
astonish old veterans in the
business. As a protege of the
Sun in his work, we were proud
Of his achievement in the news
paper world. He was close to
every one in the Office, and al
ways had a cheerful word when
the rest were blue at times. He
was a strong correspondent for a
long string of papers in this and
other States, and did his work
well. and rapidly. No young
man, of his age, to our knowledge,
achieved so much success in
journalism. and went to the head
Of reportorial work with so much
genius and ability to accomplish
that work successfully. He was
full of indomitable energy, and
the word fail was not in his
vocabulary when it came to get
ting news.
He was a man of strong likes
and dislikes, yet he had q sunny,
cherry nature, and counted
friends wherever he moved.
This entire community mourn his
loss. In 1898 he was elected
coroner Of Durham county, and
was never defeated from that
day to this, and filled the office
when he died. For a month OF
so he was the Sheriff of the
county, after the death of Sher.
